It may shut up gcc, but it also incorrectly changes the semantics of the
smp_call_function() helpers.
You can fix the warning other ways if you are interested (create another
inline function that takes no arguments and returns zero), but
preferably gcc just shouldn't complain about unused return values from
statement expressions in the first place.
Apparently gcc 4.0 complains about "({ 0; });", which leads to -Werror
breakage in one of the alpha oprofile modules.
One might could argue that this is a gcc bug, in that statement-expressions
should be considered to be function-like rather than statement-like for the
purposes of this warning. But it's just as easy to use an inline function
in the first place, side-stepping the issue.

I believe that there is a problem with the handling of POSIX locks, which
the attached patch should address.
The problem appears to be a race between fcntl(2) and close(2). A
multithreaded application could close a file descriptor at the same time as
it is trying to acquire a lock using the same file descriptor. I would
suggest that that multithreaded application is not providing the proper
synchronization for itself, but the OS should still behave correctly.
SUS3 (Single UNIX Specification Version 3, read: POSIX) indicates that when
a file descriptor is closed, that all POSIX locks on the file, owned by the
process which closed the file descriptor, should be released.
The trick here is when those locks are released. The current code releases
all locks which exist when close is processing, but any locks in progress
are handled when the last reference to the open file is released.
There are three cases to consider.
One is the simple case, a multithreaded (mt) process has a file open and
races to close it and acquire a lock on it. In this case, the close will
release one reference to the open file and when the fcntl is done, it will
release the other reference. For this situation, no locks should exist on
the file when both the close and fcntl operations are done. The current
system will handle this case because the last reference to the open file is
being released.
The second case is when the mt process has dup(2)'d the file descriptor.
The close will release one reference to the file and the fcntl, when done,
will release another, but there will still be at least one more reference
to the open file. One could argue that the existence of a lock on the file
after the close has completed is okay, because it was acquired after the
close operation and there is still a way for the application to release the
lock on the file, using an existing file descriptor.
The third case is when the mt process has forked, after opening the file
and either before or after becoming an mt process. In this case, each
process would hold a reference to the open file. For each process, this
degenerates to first case above. However, the lock continues to exist
until both processes have released their references to the open file. This
lock could block other lock requests.
The changes to release the lock when the last reference to the open file
aren't quite right because they would allow the lock to exist as long as
there was a reference to the open file. This is too long.
The new proposed solution is to add support in the fcntl code path to
detect a race with close and then to release the lock which was just
acquired when such as race is detected. This causes locks to be released
in a timely fashion and for the system to conform to the POSIX semantic
specification.
This was tested by instrumenting a kernel to detect the handling locks and
then running a program which generates case #3 above. A dangling lock
could be reliably generated. When the changes to detect the close/fcntl
race were added, a dangling lock could no longer be generated.

Split spin lock and r/w lock implementation into a single try which is done
inline and an out of line function that repeatedly tries to get the lock
before doing the cpu_relax(). Add a system control to set the number of
retries before a cpu is yielded.
The reason for the spin lock retry is that the diagnose 0x44 that is used to
give up the virtual cpu is quite expensive. For spin locks that are held only
for a short period of time the costs of the diagnoses outweights the savings
for spin locks that are held for a longer timer. The default retry count is
1000.

If a connection tracking helper tells us to expect a connection, and
we're already expecting that connection, we simply free the one they
gave us and return success.
The problem is that NAT helpers (eg. FTP) have to allocate the
expectation first (to see what port is available) then rewrite the
packet. If that rewrite fails, they try to remove the expectation,
but it was freed in ip_conntrack_expect_related.
This is one example of a larger problem: having registered the
expectation, the pointer is no longer ours to use. Reference counting
is needed for ctnetlink anyway, so introduce it now.
To have a single "put" path, we need to grab the reference to the

Something has changed in the core kernel such that we now get concurrent
inode write outs, one e.g via pdflush and one via sys_sync or whatever.
This causes a nasty deadlock in ntfs. The only clean solution
unfortunately requires a minor vfs api extension.
First the deadlock analysis:
Prerequisive knowledge: NTFS has a file $MFT (inode 0) loaded at mount
time. The NTFS driver uses the page cache for storing the file contents as
usual. More interestingly this file contains the table of on-disk inodes
as a sequence of MFT_RECORDs. Thus NTFS driver accesses the on-disk inodes
by accessing the MFT_RECORDs in the page cache pages of the loaded inode
$MFT.
The situation: VFS inode X on a mounted ntfs volume is dirty. For same
inode X, the ntfs_inode is dirty and thus corresponding on-disk inode,
which is as explained above in a dirty PAGE_CACHE_PAGE belonging to the
table of inodes ($MFT, inode 0).
What happens:
Process 1: sys_sync()/umount()/whatever... calls __sync_single_inode() for
$MFT -> do_writepages() -> write_page for the dirty page containing the
on-disk inode X, the page is now locked -> ntfs_write_mst_block() which
clears PageUptodate() on the page to prevent anyone else getting hold of it
whilst it does the write out (this is necessary as the on-disk inode needs
"fixups" applied before the write to disk which are removed again after the
write and PageUptodate is then set again). It then analyses the page
looking for dirty on-disk inodes and when it finds one it calls
ntfs_may_write_mft_record() to see if it is safe to write this on-disk
inode. This then calls ilookup5() to check if the corresponding VFS inode
is in icache(). This in turn calls ifind() which waits on the inode lock
via wait_on_inode whilst holding the global inode_lock.
Process 2: pdflush results in a call to __sync_single_inode for the same
VFS inode X on the ntfs volume. This locks the inode (I_LOCK) then calls
write-inode -> ntfs_write_inode -> map_mft_record() -> read_cache_page() of
the page (in page cache of table of inodes $MFT, inode 0) containing the
on-disk inode. This page has PageUptodate() clear because of Process 1
(see above) so read_cache_page() blocks when tries to take the page lock
for the page so it can call ntfs_read_page().
Thus Process 1 is holding the page lock on the page containing the on-disk
inode X and it is waiting on the inode X to be unlocked in ifind() so it
can write the page out and then unlock the page.
And Process 2 is holding the inode lock on inode X and is waiting for the
page to be unlocked so it can call ntfs_readpage() or discover that
Process 1 set PageUptodate() again and use the page.
Thus we have a deadlock due to ifind() waiting on the inode lock.
The only sensible solution: NTFS does not care whether the VFS inode is
locked or not when it calls ilookup5() (it doesn't use the VFS inode at
all, it just uses it to find the corresponding ntfs_inode which is of
course attached to the VFS inode (both are one single struct); and it uses
the ntfs_inode which is subject to its own locking so I_LOCK is irrelevant)
hence we want a modified ilookup5_nowait() which is the same as ilookup5()
but it does not wait on the inode lock.
Without such functionality I would have to keep my own ntfs_inode cache in
the NTFS driver just so I can find ntfs_inodes independent of their VFS
inodes which would be slow, memory and cpu cycle wasting, and incredibly
stupid given the icache already exists in the VFS.
Below is a patch that does the ilookup5_nowait() implementation in
fs/inode.c and exports it.
ilookup5_nowait.diff:
Introduce ilookup5_nowait() which is basically the same as ilookup5() but
it does not wait on the inode's lock (i.e. it omits the wait_on_inode()
done in ifind()).
This is needed to avoid a nasty deadlock in NTFS.

inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:
* dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
* dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
stat structures.
* dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals?
inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
notification:
* inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
* inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
you were watching is on was unmounted."
* inotify can watch directories or files.
Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.

This was a pure indentation change, using:

to make reiserfs match the regular Linux indentation style. As Jeff
Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> writes:
The ReiserFS code is a mix of a number of different coding styles, sometimes
different even from line-to-line. Since the code has been relatively stable
for quite some time and there are few outstanding patches to be applied, it
is time to reformat the code to conform to the Linux style standard outlined
in Documentation/CodingStyle.
This patch contains the result of running scripts/Lindent against
fs/reiserfs/*.c and include/linux/reiserfs_*.h. There are places where the
code can be made to look better, but I'd rather keep those patches separate
so that there isn't a subtle by-hand hand accident in the middle of a huge
patch. To be clear: This patch is reformatting *only*.
A number of patches may follow that continue to make the code more consistent
with the Linux coding style.

This patch corrects a few problems with the IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP
socket option:
1) The existing code makes an attempt at reference counting joins when
using the ip_mreqn/imr_ifindex interface. Joining the same group
on the same socket is an error, whatever the API. This leads to
unexpected results when mixing ip_mreqn by index with ip_mreqn by
address, ip_mreq, or other API's. For example, ip_mreq followed by
ip_mreqn of the same group will "work" while the same two reversed
will not.
Fixed to always return EADDRINUSE on a duplicate join and
removed the (now unused) reference count in ip_mc_socklist.
2) The group-search list in ip_mc_join_group() is comparing a full
ip_mreqn structure and all of it must match for it to find the
group. This doesn't correctly match a group that was joined with
ip_mreq or ip_mreqn with an address (with or without an index). It
also doesn't match groups that are joined by different addresses on
the same interface. All of these are the same multicast group,
which is identified by group address and interface index.
Fixed the check to correctly match groups so we don't get
duplicate group entries on the ip_mc_socklist.
3) The old code allocates a multicast address before searching for
duplicates requiring it to free in various error cases. This
patch moves the allocate until after the search and
igmp_max_memberships check, so never a need to allocate, then free
an entry.

This patch fixes a race found by Ram in mark_mounts_for_expiry() in
fs/namespace.c.
The bug can only be triggered with simultaneous exiting of a process having
a private namespace, and expiry of a mount from within that namespace.
It's practically impossible to trigger, and I haven't even tried. But
still, a bug is a bug.
The race happens when put_namespace() is called by another task, while
mark_mounts_for_expiry() is between atomic_read() and get_namespace(). In
that case get_namespace() will be called on an already dead namespace with
unforeseeable results.
The solution was suggested by Al Viro, with his own words:
Instead of screwing with atomic_read() in there, why don't we
simply do the following:
a) atomic_dec_and_lock() in put_namespace()
b) __put_namespace() called without dropping lock
c) the first thing done by __put_namespace would be
struct vfsmount *root = namespace->root;
namespace->root = NULL;
spin_unlock(...);
....
umount_tree(root);
...
d) check in mark_... would be simply namespace && namespace->root.
And we are all set; no screwing around with atomic_read(), no magic
at all. Dying namespace gets NULL ->root.
All changes of ->root happen under spinlock.
If under a spinlock we see non-NULL ->mnt_namespace, it won't be
freed until we drop the lock (we will set ->mnt_namespace to NULL
under that lock before we get to freeing namespace).
If under a spinlock we see non-NULL ->mnt_namespace and
->mnt_namespace->root, we can grab a reference to namespace and be
sure that it won't go away.

If these maps are placed in the .data section then these frequenly read

case all processors in an SMP system must needlessly reload the cachelines

OCFS2 wants to mark an inode which has been orphaned by another node so
that during final iput it takes the correct path through the VFS and can
pass through the OCFS2 delete_inode callback. Since i_nlink can get out of
date with other nodes, the best way I see to accomplish this is by clearing
i_nlink on those inodes at drop_inode time. Other than this small amount
of work, nothing different needs to happen, so I think it would be cleanest
to be able to just call generic_drop_inode at the end of the OCFS2
drop_inode callback.

The VIA Padlock device requires the input and output buffers to
be aligned on 16-byte boundaries. This patch adds the alignmask
attribute for low-level cipher implementations to indicate their
alignment requirements.
The mid-level crypt() function will copy the input/output buffers
if they are not aligned correctly before they are passed to the
low-level implementation.
Strictly speaking, some of the software implementations require
the buffers to be aligned on 4-byte boundaries as they do 32-bit
loads. However, it is not clear whether it is better to copy
the buffers or pay the penalty for unaligned loads/stores.

Make TSO segment transmit size decisions at send time not earlier.
The basic scheme is that we try to build as large a TSO frame as
possible when pulling in the user data, but the size of the TSO frame
output to the card is determined at transmit time.
This is guided by tp->xmit_size_goal. It is always set to a multiple
of MSS and tells sendmsg/sendpage how large an SKB to try and build.
Later, tcp_write_xmit() and tcp_push_one() chop up the packet if
necessary and conditions warrant. These routines can also decide to
"defer" in order to wait for more ACKs to arrive and thus allow larger
TSO frames to be emitted.
A general observation is that TSO elongates the pipe, thus requiring a
larger congestion window and larger buffering especially at the sender
side. Therefore, it is important that applications 1) get a large
enough socket send buffer (this is accomplished by our dynamic send
buffer expansion code) 2) do large enough writes.

This is the code to load packet data into a register:

if (k < 0) {

} else {
u32 _tmp, *p;
p = skb_header_pointer(skb, k, 4, &_tmp);
if (p != NULL) {
A = ntohl(*p);
continue;
}
}
skb_header_pointer checks if the requested data is within the
linear area:
int hlen = skb_headlen(skb);
if (offset + len <= hlen)
return skb->data + offset;
When offset is within [INT_MAX-len+1..INT_MAX] the addition will
result in a negative number which is <= hlen.
I couldn't trigger a crash on my AMD64 with 2GB of memory, but a
coworker tried on his x86 machine and it crashed immediately.
This patch fixes the check in skb_header_pointer to handle large
positive offsets similar to skb_copy_bits. Invalid data can still
be accessed using negative offsets (also similar to skb_copy_bits),
anyone using negative offsets needs to verify them himself.

The dynamic pci id logic has been bothering me for a while, and now that

thought it was time to clean it all up.
It ends up making the code smaller, and easier to follow, and fixes a
few bugs at the same time (dynamic ids were not being matched
everywhere, and so could be missed on some call paths for new devices,
semaphore not needed to be grabbed when adding a new id and calling the
driver core, etc.)
I also renamed the function pci_match_device() to pci_match_id() as

The code was wrong in several aspects. The locking order was
inconsistent, the device aquire code did not reset a variable
after a wakeup and the wakeup handling was not working for
applications where multiple chips are sharing a single
hardware controller.
When a hardware controller is available the locking is now
reduced to the hardware controller lock and the waitqueue is
moved to the hardware controller structure in order to avoid
a wake_up_all().
The problem was pointed out by Ben Dooks, who also found the
missing variable reset as main cause for his deadlock problem.

After seeing, at best, "guesses" as to the following kind
of information in several drivers, I decided that we really
need a way for platforms to specifically give advice in this
area for what works best with their PCI controller implementation.
Basically, this new interface gives DMA bursting advice on
PCI. There are three forms of the advice:
1) Burst as much as possible, it is not necessary to end bursts
on some particular boundary for best performance.
2) Burst on some byte count multiple. A DMA burst to some multiple of
number of bytes may be done, but it is important to end the burst
on an exact multiple for best performance.
The best example of this I am aware of are the PPC64 PCI
controllers, where if you end a burst mid-cacheline then
chip has to refetch the data and the IOMMU translations
which hurts performance a lot.
3) Burst on a single byte count multiple. Bursts shall end
exactly on the next multiple boundary for best performance.
Sparc64 and Alpha's PCI controllers operate this way. They
disconnect any device which tries to burst across a cacheline
boundary.
Actually, newer sparc64 PCI controllers do not have this behavior.
That is why the "pdev" is passed into the interface, so I can
add code later to check which PCI controller the system is using
and give advice accordingly.

I sent out earlier this week. Changes since my last submission include:
* Fix in ppc64 code removing an unneeded call to re-enable preemption
* Fix a build problem in ia64 when kprobes was turned off
* Added another BUG_ON check to each of the architecture trampoline
handlers
My initial patch description ==>
From my experiences with adding return probes to x86_64 and ia64, and the
feedback on LKML to those patches, I think we can simplify the design
for return probes.
The following patch tweaks the original design such that:
* Instead of storing the stack address in the return probe instance, the
task pointer is stored. This gives us all we need in order to:
- find the correct return probe instance when we enter the trampoline
(even if we are recursing)
- find all left-over return probe instances when the task is going away
This has the side effect of simplifying the implementation since more
work can be done in kernel/kprobes.c since architecture specific knowledge
of the stack layout is no longer required. Specifically, we no longer have:
- arch_get_kprobe_task()
- arch_kprobe_flush_task()
- get_rp_inst_tsk()
- get_rp_inst()
- trampoline_post_handler() <see next bullet>
* Instead of splitting the return probe handling and cleanup logic across
the pre and post trampoline handlers, all the work is pushed into the
pre function (trampoline_probe_handler), and then we skip single stepping
the original function. In this case the original instruction to be single
stepped was just a NOP, and we can do without the extra interruption.
The new flow of events to having a return probe handler execute when a target
function exits is:
* At system initialization time, a kprobe is inserted at the beginning of
kretprobe_trampoline. kernel/kprobes.c use to handle this on it's own,
but ia64 needed to do this a little differently (i.e. a function pointer
is really a pointer to a structure containing the instruction pointer and
a global pointer), so I added the notion of arch_init(), so that
kernel/kprobes.c:init_kprobes() now allows architecture specific
initialization by calling arch_init() before exiting. Each architecture
now registers a kprobe on it's own trampoline function.
* register_kretprobe() will insert a kprobe at the beginning of the targeted
function with the kprobe pre_handler set to arch_prepare_kretprobe
(still no change)
* When the target function is entered, the kprobe is fired, calling
arch_prepare_kretprobe (still no change)
* In arch_prepare_kretprobe() we try to get a free instance and if one is
available then we fill out the instance with a pointer to the return probe,
the original return address, and a pointer to the task structure (instead
of the stack address.) Just like before we change the return address
to the trampoline function and mark the instance as used.
If multiple return probes are registered for a given target function,
then arch_prepare_kretprobe() will get called multiple times for the same
task (since our kprobe implementation is able to handle multiple kprobes
at the same address.) Past the first call to arch_prepare_kretprobe,
we end up with the original address stored in the return probe instance
pointing to our trampoline function. (This is a significant difference
from the original arch_prepare_kretprobe design.)
* Target function executes like normal and then returns to kretprobe_trampoline.
* kprobe inserted on the first instruction of kretprobe_trampoline is fired
and calls trampoline_probe_handler() (no change here)
* trampoline_probe_handler() consumes each of the instances associated with
the current task by calling the registered handler function and marking
the instance as unused until an instance is found that has a return address
different then the trampoline function.
(change similar to my previous ia64 RFC)
* If the task is killed with some left-over return probe instances (meaning
that a target function was entered, but never returned), then we just
free any instances associated with the task. (Not much different other
then we can handle this without calling architecture specific functions.)
There is a known problem that this patch does not yet solve where
registering a return probe flush_old_exec or flush_thread will put us
in a bad state. Most likely the best way to handle this is to not allow
registering return probes on these two functions.
(Significant change)
This patch series applies to the 2.6.12-rc6-mm1 kernel, and provides:
* kernel/kprobes.c changes
* i386 patch of existing return probes implementation
* x86_64 patch of existing return probe implementation
* ia64 implementation
* ppc64 implementation (provided by Ananth)
This patch implements the architecture independant changes for a reworking
of the kprobes based function return probes design. Changes include:
* Removing functions for querying a return probe instance off a stack address
* Removing the stack_addr field from the kretprobe_instance definition,
and adding a task pointer
* Adding architecture specific initialization via arch_init()
* Removing extern definitions for the architecture trampoline functions
(this isn't needed anymore since the architecture handles the
initialization of the kprobe in the return probe trampoline function.)

I believe at least for seccomp it's worth to turn off the tsc, not just for
HT but for the L2 cache too. So it's up to you, either you turn it off
completely (which isn't very nice IMHO) or I recommend to apply this below
patch.
This has been tested successfully on x86-64 against current cogito
repository (i686 compiles so I didn't bother testing ;). People selling
the cpu through cpushare may appreciate this bit for a peace of mind.
There's no way to get any timing info anymore with this applied
(gettimeofday is forbidden of course). The seccomp environment is
completely deterministic so it can't be allowed to get timing info, it has
to be deterministic so in the future I can enable a computing mode that
does a parallel computing for each task with server side transparent
checkpointing and verification that the output is the same from all the 2/3
seller computers for each task, without the buyer even noticing (for now
the verification is left to the buyer client side and there's no
checkpointing, since that would require more kernel changes to track the
dirty bits but it'll be easy to extend once the basic mode is finished).
Eliminating a cold-cache read of the cr4 global variable will save one
cacheline during the tlb flush while making the code per-cpu-safe at the
same time. Thanks to Mikael Pettersson for noticing the tlb flush wasn't
per-cpu-safe.
The global tlb flush can run from irq (IPI calling do_flush_tlb_all) but
it'll be transparent to the switch_to code since the IPI won't make any
change to the cr4 contents from the point of view of the interrupted code
and since it's now all per-cpu stuff, it will not race. So no need to
disable irqs in switch_to slow path.

This provides declarations for new requests, descriptors, and bitfields as
defined in the Wireless USB 1.0 spec. Device support will involve a new
"Wire Adapter" device class, connecting a USB Host to a cluster of wireless
USB devices. There will be two adapter types:
* Host Wireless Adapter (HWA): the downstream link is wireless, which
connects a wireless USB host to wireless USB devices (not unlike like
a hub) including to the second type of adapter.
* Device Wireless Adapter (DWA): the upstream link is wireless, for
connecting existing USB devices through wired links into the cluser.
All wireless USB devices will need persistent (and secure!) key storage, and
it's probable that Linux -- or device firmware -- will need to be involved
with that to bootstrap the initial secure key exchange.
Some user interface is required in that initial key exchange, and since the
most "hands-off" one is a wired USB link, I suspect wireless operation will
usually not be the only mode for wireless USB devices. (Plus, devices can
recharge batteries using wired USB...) All other key exchange protocols need
error prone user interactions, like copying and/or verifying keys.
It'll likely be a while before we have commercial Wireless USB hardware,
much less Linux implementations that know how to use it.

- Adjust slice values
- Instead of one async queue, one is defined per priority level. This
prevents kernel threads (such as reiserfs/x and others) that run at
higher io priority from conflicting with others. Previously, it was a
coin toss what io prio the async queue got, it was defined by who
first set up the queue.
- Let a time slice only begin, when the previous slice is completely
done. Previously we could be somewhat unfair to a new sync slice, if
the previous slice was async and had several ios queued. This might
need a little tweaking if throughput suffers a little due to this,
allowing perhaps an overlap of a single request or so.
- Optimize the calling of kblockd_schedule_work() by doing it only when
it is strictly necessary (no requests in driver and work left to do).
- Correct sync vs async logic. A 'normal' process can be purely async as
well, and a flusher can be purely sync as well. Sync or async is now a
property of the class defined and requests pending. Previously writers
could be considered sync, when they were really async.
- Get rid of the bit fields in cfqq and crq, use flags instead.

This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
v3). It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes. It
supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set
directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls. The latter closely mimic
set/getpriority.

Add separate files for the different 8250 ISA-based serial boards.
Looking across all the various architectures, it seems reasonable that
we can key the availability of the configuration options for these
beasts to the bus-related symbols (iow, CONFIG_ISA). We also standardise
the base baud/uart clock rate for these boards - I'm sure that isn't

balance-xor and 802.3ad modes. Default mode (what we have now: xor of
MAC addresses) is "layer2", new choice is "layer3+4", using IP and port

Originally submitted by Jason Gabler for balance-xor mode;
modified by Jay Vosburgh to additionally support 802.3ad mode. Jason's
original comment is as follows:
The attached patch to the Linux Etherchannel Bonding driver modifies the
driver's "balance-xor" mode as follows:
- alternate hashing policy support for mode 2
* Added kernel parameter "xmit_policy" to allow the specification
of different hashing policies for mode 2. The original mode 2
policy is the default, now found in xmit_hash_policy_layer2().
* Added xmit_hash_policy_layer34()

Makes kexec_crashdump() take a pt_regs * as an argument. This allows to
get exact register state at the point of the crash. If we come from direct
panic assertion NULL will be passed and the current registers saved before
crashdump.
This hooks into two places:
die(): check the conditions under which we will panic when calling
do_exit and go there directly with the pt_regs that caused the fatal
fault.
die_nmi(): If we receive an NMI lockup while in the kernel use the
pt_regs and go directly to crash_kexec(). We're probably nested up badly
at this point so this might be the only chance to escape with proper

This patch adds a new preemption model: 'Voluntary Kernel Preemption'. The
3 models can be selected from a new menu:
(X) No Forced Preemption (Server)
( ) Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop)
( ) Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop)
we still default to the stock (Server) preemption model.
Voluntary preemption works by adding a cond_resched()
(reschedule-if-needed) call to every might_sleep() check. It is lighter
than CONFIG_PREEMPT - at the cost of not having as tight latencies. It
represents a different latency/complexity/overhead tradeoff.
It has no runtime impact at all if disabled. Here are size stats that show
how the various preemption models impact the kernel's size:
text data bss dec hex filename
3618774 547184 179896 4345854 424ffe vmlinux.stock
3626406 547184 179896 4353486 426dce vmlinux.voluntary +0.2%
3748414 548640 179896 4476950 445016 vmlinux.preempt +3.5%
voluntary-preempt is +0.2% of .text, preempt is +3.5%.
This feature has been tested for many months by lots of people (and it's
also included in the RHEL4 distribution and earlier variants were in Fedora
as well), and it's intended for users and distributions who dont want to

The following patches add dynamic sched domains functionality that was
extensively discussed on lkml and lse-tech. I would like to see this added to
-mm
o The main advantage with this feature is that it ensures that the scheduler
load balacing code only balances against the cpus that are in the sched
domain as defined by an exclusive cpuset and not all of the cpus in the
system. This removes any overhead due to load balancing code trying to
pull tasks outside of the cpu exclusive cpuset only to be prevented by
the tasks' cpus_allowed mask.
o cpu exclusive cpusets are useful for servers running orthogonal
workloads such as RT applications requiring low latency and HPC
applications that are throughput sensitive
o It provides a new API partition_sched_domains in sched.c
that makes dynamic sched domains possible.
o cpu_exclusive cpusets sets are now associated with a sched domain.
Which means that the users can dynamically modify the sched domains
through the cpuset file system interface
o ia64 sched domain code has been updated to support this feature as well
o Currently, this does not support hotplug. (However some of my tests
indicate hotplug+preempt is currently broken)
o I have tested it extensively on x86.
o This should have very minimal impact on performance as none of
the fast paths are affected

comments) to synchronize_rcu() or synchronize_sched() as follows:
- arch/x86_64/kernel/mce.c mce_read(): change to synchronize_sched() to
handle races with machine-check exceptions (synchronize_rcu() would not cut
it given RCU implementations intended for hardcore realtime use.
- drivers/input/serio/i8042.c i8042_stop(): change to synchronize_sched() to
handle races with i8042_interrupt() interrupt handler. Again,
synchronize_rcu() would not cut it given RCU implementations intended for
hardcore realtime use.
- include/*/kdebug.h comments: change to synchronize_sched() to handle races
with NMIs. As before, synchronize_rcu() would not cut it...
- include/linux/list.h comment: change to synchronize_rcu(), since this
comment is for list_del_rcu().
- security/keys/key.c unregister_key_type(): change to synchronize_rcu(),
since this is interacting with RCU read side.
- security/keys/process_keys.c install_session_keyring(): change to
synchronize_rcu(), since this is interacting with RCU read side.

This patch adds __cpuinit and __cpuinitdata sections that need to exist past
boot to support cpu hotplug.
Caveat: This is done *only* for EM64T CPU Hotplug support, on request from
Andi Kleen. Much of the generic hotplug code in kernel, and none of the other
archs that support CPU hotplug today, i386, ia64, ppc64, s390 and parisc dont
mark sections with __cpuinit, but only mark them as __devinit, and
__devinitdata.
If someone is motivated to change generic code, we need to make sure all
existing hotplug code does not break, on other arch's that dont use __cpuinit,
and __cpudevinit.

This patch reworks filemap_xip.c with the goal to reduce code duplication
from mm/filemap.c. It applies agains 2.6.12-rc6-mm1. Instead of
implementing the aio functions, this one implements the synchronous
read/write functions only. For readv and writev, the generic fallback is
used. For aio, we rely on the application doing the fallback. Since our
"synchronous" function does memcpy immediately anyway, there is no
performance difference between using the fallbacks or implementing each
operation.

This patch adds version and srcversion files to
/sys/module/${modulename} containing the version and srcversion fields
of the module's modinfo section (if present).
/sys/module/e1000
|-- srcversion
`-- version
This patch differs slightly from the version posted in January, as it
now uses the new kstrdup() call in -mm.
Why put this in sysfs?
a) Tools like DKMS, which deal with changing out individual kernel
modules without replacing the whole kernel, can behave smarter if they
can tell the version of a given module. The autoinstaller feature, for
example, which determines if your system has a "good" version of a
driver (i.e. if the one provided by DKMS has a newer verson than that
provided by the kernel package installed), and to automatically compile
and install a newer version if DKMS has it but your kernel doesn't yet
have that version.
b) Because sysadmins manually, or with tools like DKMS, can switch out
modules on the file system, you can't count on 'modinfo foo.ko', which
looks at /lib/modules/${kernelver}/... actually matching what is loaded
into the kernel already. Hence asking sysfs for this.
c) as the unbind-driver-from-device work takes shape, it will be
possible to rebind a driver that's built-in (no .ko to modinfo for the
version) to a newly loaded module. sysfs will have the
currently-built-in version info, for comparison.
d) tech support scripts can then easily grab the version info for what's
running presently - a question I get often.
There has been renewed interest in this patch on linux-scsi by driver
authors.
As the idea originated from GregKH, I leave his Signed-off-by: intact,
though the implementation is nearly completely new. Compiled and run on
x86 and x86_64.

NFSv4 clients are required to know what state they have on the server so that
they can reclaim it on server reboot. However, it is possible for
pathalogical combinations of server reboots and network partitions to leave a
client in a state where it cannot know whether it has lost its state on the
server.
For this reason, rfc3530 requires that we store some information about clients
to stable storage.
So we maintain a directory /var/lib/nfs/v4recovery with a subdirectory for
each client with active state. We leave open the possibility of including
files underneath each such subdirectory with information about the client, but
for now the subdirectories are empty.
We create a client subdirectory whenever a client makes its first non-reclaim
open_confirm.
We remove a client subdirectory whenever either
a) its lease expires, or
b) the grace period ends without it reclaiming anything.
When handling reclaims, we allow the reclaim if and only if the client doing
the reclaim has a subdirectory.
This patch adds just the code to scan the recovery directory on nfsd startup.

We're returning NFS4_FH_NOEXPIRE_WITH_OPEN | NFS4_FH_VOL_RENAME for the
fh_expire_type attribute. This is incorrect:
1. The spec actually only allows NOEXPIRE_WITH_OPEN when
VOLATILE_ANY is also set.
2. Filehandles for open files can expire, if the file is removed
and there is a reboot.
3. Filehandles are only volatile on rename in the nosubtree check
case.
Unfortunately, there's no way to indicate that we only expire on remove. So
our only choice is FH4_VOLATILE_ANY. Although it's redundant, we also set
FH4_VOL_RENAME in the subtree check case, since subtreecheck does actually
cause problems in practice and it seems possibly useful to give clients some
way to distinguish that case.

This patch to adds "power cycle" functionality to the IPMI power off module
ipmi_poweroff. It also contains changes to support procfs control of the
feature.
The power cycle action is considered an optional chassis control in the IPMI
specification. However, it is definitely useful when the hardware supports
it. A power cycle is usually required in order to reset a firmware in a bad
state. This action is critical to allow remote management of servers.
The implementation adds power cycle as optional to the ipmi_poweroff module.
It can be modified dynamically through the proc entry mentioned above. During
a power down and enabled, the power cycle command is sent to the BMC firmware.
If it fails either due to non-support or some error, it will retry to send
the command as power off.

The attached patch makes the following changes:
(1) There's a new special key type called ".request_key_auth".
This is an authorisation key for when one process requests a key and
another process is started to construct it. This type of key cannot be
created by the user; nor can it be requested by kernel services.
Authorisation keys hold two references:
(a) Each refers to a key being constructed. When the key being
constructed is instantiated the authorisation key is revoked,
rendering it of no further use.
(b) The "authorising process". This is either:
(i) the process that called request_key(), or:
(ii) if the process that called request_key() itself had an
authorisation key in its session keyring, then the authorising
process referred to by that authorisation key will also be
referred to by the new authorisation key.
This means that the process that initiated a chain of key requests
will authorise the lot of them, and will, by default, wind up with
the keys obtained from them in its keyrings.
(2) request_key() creates an authorisation key which is then passed to
/sbin/request-key in as part of a new session keyring.
(3) When request_key() is searching for a key to hand back to the caller, if
it comes across an authorisation key in the session keyring of the
calling process, it will also search the keyrings of the process
specified therein and it will use the specified process's credentials
(fsuid, fsgid, groups) to do that rather than the calling process's
credentials.
This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to find keys belonging
to the authorising process.
(4) A key can be read, even if the process executing KEYCTL_READ doesn't have
direct read or search permission if that key is contained within the
keyrings of a process specified by an authorisation key found within the
calling process's session keyring, and is searchable using the
credentials of the authorising process.
This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to read keys belonging
to the authorising process.
(5) The magic KEY_SPEC_*_KEYRING key IDs when passed to KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE or
KEYCTL_NEGATE will specify a keyring of the authorising process, rather
than the process doing the instantiation.
(6) One of the process keyrings can be nominated as the default to which
request_key() should attach new keys if not otherwise specified. This is
done with KEYCTL_SET_REQKEY_KEYRING and one of the KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_*
constants. The current setting can also be read using this call.
(7) request_key() is partially interruptible. If it is waiting for another
process to finish constructing a key, it can be interrupted. This permits
a request-key cycle to be broken without recourse to rebooting.

The attached patch changes the key implementation in a number of ways:
(1) It removes the spinlock from the key structure.
(2) The key flags are now accessed using atomic bitops instead of
write-locking the key spinlock and using C bitwise operators.
The three instantiation flags are dealt with with the construction
semaphore held during the request_key/instantiate/negate sequence, thus
rendering the spinlock superfluous.
The key flags are also now bit numbers not bit masks.
(3) The key payload is now accessed using RCU. This permits the recursive
keyring search algorithm to be simplified greatly since no locks need be
taken other than the usual RCU preemption disablement. Searching now does
not require any locks or semaphores to be held; merely that the starting
keyring be pinned.
(4) The keyring payload now includes an RCU head so that it can be disposed
of by call_rcu(). This requires that the payload be copied on unlink to
prevent introducing races in copy-down vs search-up.
(5) The user key payload is now a structure with the data following it. It
includes an RCU head like the keyring payload and for the same reason. It
also contains a data length because the data length in the key may be
changed on another CPU whilst an RCU protected read is in progress on the
payload. This would then see the supposed RCU payload and the on-key data
length getting out of sync.
I'm tempted to drop the key's datalen entirely, except that it's used in
conjunction with quota management and so is a little tricky to get rid
of.
(6) Update the keys documentation.

Implements sequential reading for both linear and non-linear
skb data at zerocopy cost. The data is returned in chunks of
arbitary length, therefore random access is not possible.
Usage:
from := 0
to := 128
state := undef
data := undef
len := undef
consumed := 0
skb_prepare_seq_read(skb, from, to, &state)
while (len = skb_seq_read(consumed, &data, &state)) != 0 do
/* do something with 'data' of length 'len' */
if abort then
/* abort read if we don't wait for
* skb_seq_read() to return 0 */
skb_abort_seq_read(&state)
return
endif
/* not necessary to consume all of 'len' */
consumed += len
done

A finite state machine consists of n states (struct ts_fsm_token)
representing the pattern as a finite automation. The data is read
sequentially on a octet basis. Every state token specifies the number
of recurrences and the type of value accepted which can be either a
specific character or ctype based set of characters. The available
type of recurrences include 1, (0|1), [0 n], and [1 n].
The algorithm differs between strict/non-strict mode specyfing
whether the pattern has to start at the first octect. Strict mode
is enabled by default and can be disabled by inserting
TS_FSM_HEAD_IGNORE as the first token in the chain.
The runtime performance of the algorithm should be around O(n),
however while in strict mode the average runtime can be better.

Eliminate the throttling behaviour when the netif receive queue fills
because it behaves badly when using high speed networks under load.
The throttling cause multiple packet drops that cause TCP to go into
slow start mode. The same effective patch has been part of BIC TCP and
H-TCP as well as part of Web100.
The existing code drops 100's of packets when the queue fills;
this changes it to individual packet drop-tail.

Remove the congestion sensing mechanism from netif_rx, and always
return either full or empty. Almost no driver checks the return value
from netif_rx, and those that do only use it for debug messages.
The original design of netif_rx was to do flow control based on the
receive queue, but NAPI has supplanted this and no driver uses the
feedback.

In the upcoming aio_down patch, it is useful to store a private data
pointer in the kiocb's wait_queue. Since we provide our own wake up
function and do not require the task_struct pointer, it makes sense to
convert the task pointer into a generic private pointer.

The following patch removes the f_error field and all checks of f_error.
Trond said:
f_error was introduced for NFS, and made sense when we were guaranteed
always to have a file pointer around when write errors occurred. Since
then, we have (for various reasons) had to introduce the nfs_open_context in
order to track the file read/write state, and it made sense to move our
f_error tracking there too.

This patch allows block device drivers to convert their ioctl functions to
unlocked_ioctl() like character devices and other subsystems. All
functions that were called with the BKL held before are still used that
way, but I would not be surprised if it could be removed from the ioctl
functions in drivers/block/ioctl.c themselves.
As a side note, I found that compat_blkdev_ioctl() acquires the BKL as
well, which looks like a bug. I have checked that every user of
disk->fops->compat_ioctl() in the current git tree gets the BKL itself, so
it could easily be removed from compat_blkdev_ioctl().

In ia64 kernel, the O_LARGEFILE flag is forced when opening a file. This
is problematic for execution of 32 bit processes, which are not largefile
aware, either by SW emulation or by HW execution.
For such processes, the problem is two-fold:
1) When trying to open a file that is larger than 4G
the operation should fail, but it's not
2) Writing to offset larger than 4G should fail, but
it's not
The proposed patch takes advantage of the way 32 bit processes are
identified in ia64 systems. Such processes have PER_LINUX32 for their
personality. With the patch, the ia64 kernel will not enforce the
O_LARGEFILE flag if the current process has PER_LINUX32 set. The behavior
for all other architectures remains unchanged.
