I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.
In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

This patch is a rewrite of the one submitted on October 1st, using modules
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112819093522998&w=2).
This rewrite adds a tristate CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST, which enables an
intense torture test of the RCU infratructure. This is needed due to the
continued changes to the RCU infrastructure to accommodate dynamic ticks,
CPU hotplug, realtime, and so on. Most of the code is in a separate file
that is compiled only if the CONFIG variable is set. Documentation on how
to run the test and interpret the output is also included.
This code has been tested on i386 and ppc64, and an earlier version of the
code has received extensive testing on a number of architectures as part of
the PREEMPT_RT patchset.

The attached patch adds LSM hooks for key management facilities. The notable
changes are:
(1) The key struct now supports a security pointer for the use of security
modules. This will permit key labelling and restrictions on which
programs may access a key.
(2) Security modules get a chance to note (or abort) the allocation of a key.
(3) The key permission checking can now be enhanced by the security modules;
the permissions check consults LSM if all other checks bear out.
(4) The key permissions checking functions now return an error code rather
than a boolean value.
(5) An extra permission has been added to govern the modification of
attributes (UID, GID, permissions).
Note that there isn't an LSM hook specifically for each keyctl() operation,
but rather the permissions hook allows control of individual operations based
on the permission request bits.
Key management access control through LSM is enabled by automatically if both
CONFIG_KEYS and CONFIG_SECURITY are enabled.
This should be applied on top of the patch ensubjected:

This patch automatically updates a tasks NUMA mempolicy when its cpuset
memory placement changes. It does so within the context of the task,
without any need to support low level external mempolicy manipulation.
If a system is not using cpusets, or if running on a system with just the
root (all-encompassing) cpuset, then this remap is a no-op. Only when a
task is moved between cpusets, or a cpusets memory placement is changed
does the following apply. Otherwise, the main routine below,
rebind_policy() is not even called.
When mixing cpusets, scheduler affinity, and NUMA mempolicies, the
essential role of cpusets is to place jobs (several related tasks) on a set
of CPUs and Memory Nodes, the essential role of sched_setaffinity is to
manage a jobs processor placement within its allowed cpuset, and the
essential role of NUMA mempolicy (mbind, set_mempolicy) is to manage a jobs
memory placement within its allowed cpuset.
However, CPU affinity and NUMA memory placement are managed within the
kernel using absolute system wide numbering, not cpuset relative numbering.
This is ok until a job is migrated to a different cpuset, or what's the
same, a jobs cpuset is moved to different CPUs and Memory Nodes.
Then the CPU affinity and NUMA memory placement of the tasks in the job
need to be updated, to preserve their cpuset-relative position. This can
be done for CPU affinity using sched_setaffinity() from user code, as one
task can modify anothers CPU affinity. This cannot be done from an
external task for NUMA memory placement, as that can only be modified in
the context of the task using it.
However, it easy enough to remap a tasks NUMA mempolicy automatically when
a task is migrated, using the existing cpuset mechanism to trigger a
refresh of a tasks memory placement after its cpuset has changed. All that
is needed is the old and new nodemask, and notice to the task that it needs
to rebind its mempolicy. The tasks mems_allowed has the old mask, the
tasks cpuset has the new mask, and the existing
cpuset_update_current_mems_allowed() mechanism provides the notice. The
bitmap/cpumask/nodemask remap operators provide the cpuset relative
calculations.
This patch leaves open a couple of issues:
1) Updating vma and shmfs/tmpfs/hugetlbfs memory policies:
These mempolicies may reference nodes outside of those allowed to
the current task by its cpuset. Tasks are migrated as part of jobs,
which reside on what might be several cpusets in a subtree. When such
a job is migrated, all NUMA memory policy references to nodes within
that cpuset subtree should be translated, and references to any nodes
outside that subtree should be left untouched. A future patch will
provide the cpuset mechanism needed to mark such subtrees. With that
patch, we will be able to correctly migrate these other memory policies
across a job migration.
2) Updating cpuset, affinity and memory policies in user space:
This is harder. Any placement state stored in user space using
system-wide numbering will be invalidated across a migration. More
work will be required to provide user code with a migration-safe means
to manage its cpuset relative placement, while preserving the current
API's that pass system wide numbers, not cpuset relative numbers across
the kernel-user boundary.

In the forthcoming task migration support, a key calculation will be
mapping cpu and node numbers from the old set to the new set while
preserving cpuset-relative offset.
For example, if a task and its pages on nodes 8-11 are being migrated to
nodes 24-27, then pages on node 9 (the 2nd node in the old set) should be
moved to node 25 (the 2nd node in the new set.)
As with other bitmap operations, the proper way to code this is to provide
the underlying calculation in lib/bitmap.c, and then to provide the usual
cpumask and nodemask wrappers.
This patch provides that. These operations are termed 'remap' operations.
Both remapping a single bit and a set of bits is supported.

Overhaul cpuset locking. Replace single semaphore with two semaphores.
The suggestion to use two locks was made by Roman Zippel.
Both locks are global. Code that wants to modify cpusets must first
acquire the exclusive manage_sem, which allows them read-only access to
cpusets, and holds off other would-be modifiers. Before making actual
changes, the second semaphore, callback_sem must be acquired as well. Code
that needs only to query cpusets must acquire callback_sem, which is also a
global exclusive lock.
The earlier problems with double tripping are avoided, because it is
allowed for holders of manage_sem to nest the second callback_sem lock, and
only callback_sem is needed by code called from within __alloc_pages(),
where the double tripping had been possible.
This is not quite the same as a normal read/write semaphore, because
obtaining read-only access with intent to change must hold off other such
attempts, while allowing read-only access w/o such intention. Changing
cpusets involves several related checks and changes, which must be done
while allowing read-only queries (to avoid the double trip), but while
ensuring nothing changes (holding off other would be modifiers.)
This overhaul of cpuset locking also makes careful use of task_lock() to
guard access to the task->cpuset pointer, closing a couple of race
conditions noticed while reading this code (thanks, Roman). I've never
seen these races fail in any use or test.
See further the comments in the code.

sysfs entries showing under each cpu sysfs can be easily created if such
entries can be created by registering a sysfs driver for cpuclass. The

This patch allows SELinux to canonicalize the value returned from
getxattr() via the security_inode_getsecurity() hook, which is called after
the fs level getxattr() function.
The purpose of this is to allow the in-core security context for an inode
to override the on-disk value. This could happen in cases such as
upgrading a system to a different labeling form (e.g. standard SELinux to
MLS) without needing to do a full relabel of the filesystem.
In such cases, we want getxattr() to return the canonical security context
that the kernel is using rather than what is stored on disk.
The implementation hooks into the inode_getsecurity(), adding another
parameter to indicate the result of the preceding fs-level getxattr() call,
so that SELinux knows whether to compare a value obtained from disk with
the kernel value.
We also now allow getxattr() to work for mountpoint labeled filesystems
(i.e. mount with option context=foo_t), as we are able to return the
kernel value to the user.

The second argument to ata_qc_complete() was being used for two
purposes: communicate the ATA Status register to the completion
function, and indicate an error. On legacy PCI IDE hardware, the latter
is often implicit in the former. On more modern hardware, the driver
often completely emulated a Status register value, passing ATA_ERR as an
indication that something went wrong.
Now that previous code changes have eliminated the need to use drv_stat
arg to communicate the ATA Status register value, we can convert it to a
mask of possible error classes.
This will lead to more flexible error handling in the future.
This adds generic memory add/remove and supporting functions for memory
hotplug into a new file as well as a memory hotplug kernel config option.

Strictly speaking, the architectures not doing memory hotplug do no need this
locking in show_mem(). However, they are all included for completeness. This
should also make any future consolidation of all of the implementations a
little more straightforward.
This lock is also held in the sparsemem code during a memory removal, as
sections are invalidated. This is the place there pfn_valid() is made false
for a memory area that's being removed. The lock is only required when doing
pfn_valid() operations on memory which the user does not already have a

Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
a large anonymous area.
This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)
In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.
Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally,
I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
change that to 8 later.
There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

Final step in pushing down common core's page_table_lock. follow_page no
longer wants caller to hold page_table_lock, uses pte_offset_map_lock itself;
and so no page_table_lock is taken in get_user_pages itself.
But get_user_pages (and get_futex_key) do then need follow_page to pin the
page for them: take Daniel's suggestion of bitflags to follow_page.
Need one for WRITE, another for TOUCH (it was the accessed flag before:
vanished along with check_user_page_readable, but surely get_numa_maps is
wrong to mark every page it finds as accessed), another for GET.
And another, ANON to dispose of untouched_anonymous_page: it seems silly for
that to descend a second time, let follow_page observe if there was no page
table and return ZERO_PAGE if so. Fix minor bug in that: check VM_LOCKED -

check_user_page_readable is a problematic variant of follow_page. It's used
only by oprofile's i386 and arm backtrace code, at interrupt time, to
establish whether a userspace stackframe is currently readable.
This is problematic, because we want to push the page_table_lock down inside
follow_page, and later split it; whereas oprofile is doing a spin_trylock on
it (in the i386 case, forgotten in the arm case), and needs that to pin
perhaps two pages spanned by the stackframe (which might be covered by
different locks when we split).
I think oprofile is going about this in the wrong way: it doesn't need to know
the area is readable (neither i386 nor arm uses read protection of user
pages), it doesn't need to pin the memory, it should simply
__copy_from_user_inatomic, and see if that succeeds or not. Sorry, but I've
not got around to devising the sparse __user annotations for this.
Then we can eliminate check_user_page_readable, and return to a single
follow_page without the __follow_page variants.

Don't attempt fancy locking for hugepages, just take page_table_lock in
unmap_hugepage_range. Which makes zap_hugepage_range, and the hugetlb test in
zap_page_range, redundant: unmap_vmas calls unmap_hugepage_range anyway. Nor
does unmap_vmas have much use for its mm arg now.
The tlb_start_vma and tlb_end_vma in unmap_page_range are now called without
page_table_lock: if they're implemented at all, they typically come down to
flush_cache_range (usually done outside page_table_lock) and flush_tlb_range
(which we already audited for the mprotect case).

Second step in pushing down the page_table_lock. Remove the temporary
bridging hack from __pud_alloc, __pmd_alloc, __pte_alloc: expect callers not
to hold page_table_lock, whether it's on init_mm or a user mm; take
page_table_lock internally to check if a racing task already allocated.
Convert their callers from common code. But avoid coming back to change them
again later: instead of moving the spin_lock(&mm->page_table_lock) down,
switch over to new macros pte_alloc_map_lock and pte_unmap_unlock, which
encapsulate the mapping+locking and unlocking+unmapping together, and in the
end may use alternatives to the mm page_table_lock itself.
These callers all hold mmap_sem (some exclusively, some not), so at no level
can a page table be whipped away from beneath them; and pte_alloc uses the
"atomic" pmd_present to test whether it needs to allocate. It appears that on
all arches we can safely descend without page_table_lock.

It seems odd to me that, whereas pud_alloc and pmd_alloc test inline, only
calling out-of-line __pud_alloc __pmd_alloc if allocation needed,
pte_alloc_map and pte_alloc_kernel are entirely out-of-line. Though it does
add a little to kernel size, change them to macros testing inline, calling
__pte_alloc or __pte_alloc_kernel to allocate out-of-line. Mark none of them
as fastcalls, leave that to CONFIG_REGPARM or not.
It also seems more natural for the out-of-line functions to leave the offset
calculation and map to the inline, which has to do it anyway for the common
case. At least mremap move wants __pte_alloc without _map.
Macros rather than inline functions, certainly to avoid the header file issues
which arise from CONFIG_HIGHPTE needing kmap_types.h, but also in case any
architectures I haven't built would have other such problems.

First step in pushing down the page_table_lock. init_mm.page_table_lock has
been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize
kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because
pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it.
Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the
architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take
and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already
did. Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area.
Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle
user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock
differently according to whether or not it's init_mm.
If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking
init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or
neither take it). So break the rules and make another change, which should
break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from
pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13).
Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64
used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to
pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64
map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free
took page_table_lock for no good reason.

update_mem_hiwater has attracted various criticisms, in particular from those
concerned with mm scalability. Originally it was called whenever rss or
total_vm got raised. Then many of those callsites were replaced by a timer
tick call from account_system_time. Now Frank van Maarseveen reports that to
be found inadequate. How about this? Works for Frank.
Replace update_mem_hiwater, a poor combination of two unrelated ops, by macros
update_hiwater_rss and update_hiwater_vm. Don't attempt to keep
mm->hiwater_rss up to date at timer tick, nor every time we raise rss (usually
by 1): those are hot paths. Do the opposite, update only when about to lower
rss (usually by many), or just before final accounting in do_exit. Handle
mm->hiwater_vm in the same way, though it's much less of an issue. Demand
that whoever collects these hiwater statistics do the work of taking the
maximum with rss or total_vm.
And there has been no collector of these hiwater statistics in the tree. The
new convention needs an example, so match Frank's usage by adding a VmPeak
line above VmSize to /proc/<pid>/status, and also a VmHWM line above VmRSS
(High-Water-Mark or High-Water-Memory).
There was a particular anomaly during mremap move, that hiwater_vm might be
captured too high. A fleeting such anomaly remains, but it's quickly
corrected now, whereas before it would stick.
What locking? None: if the app is racy then these statistics will be racy,
it's not worth any overhead to make them exact. But whenever it suits,
hiwater_vm is updated under exclusive mmap_sem, and hiwater_rss under
page_table_lock (for now) or with preemption disabled (later on): without
going to any trouble, minimize the time between reading current values and
updating, to minimize those occasions when a racing thread bumps a count up
and back down in between.

Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED
handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality.
PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page.
All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged
in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount
based freeing of Reserved pages.
MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being
deprecated. We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be
reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept).
Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all
arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can
be trivially removed.
Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to
determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not. This still
needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work).
A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and
thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss). These writes to the struct
page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems. There are a
number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue.

I was lazy when we added anon_rss, and chose to change as few places as
possible. So currently each anonymous page has to be counted twice, in rss
and in anon_rss. Which won't be so good if those are atomic counts in some
configurations.
Change that around: keep file_rss and anon_rss separately, and add them
together (with get_mm_rss macro) when the total is needed - reading two
atomics is much cheaper than updating two atomics. And update anon_rss
upfront, typically in memory.c, not tucked away in page_add_anon_rmap.

vmtruncate might find it; then remove_vma to close, fput and free.
The intention here is to do the anon_vma_unlink and unlink_file_vma earlier,
in free_pgtables before freeing any page tables: so we can be sure that any
page tables traversed by rmap and vmtruncate are stable (and other, ordinary
cases are stabilized by holding mmap_sem).
This will be crucial to traversing pgd,pud,pmd without page_table_lock. But

On the internal code path that comes through the driver model, the parameter
is now used to distinguish cases where USB devices need to "freeze" but not
suspend. It also checks for an error case that's accessible through sysfs:
attempting to suspend a device before its interfaces (or for hubs, ports).

Some PCI adapters (eg. ipr scsi adapters) have an exposure today in that they
issue BIST to the adapter to reset the card. If, during the time it takes to
complete BIST, userspace attempts to access PCI config space, the host bus
bridge will master abort the access since the ipr adapter does not respond on
the PCI bus for a brief period of time when running BIST. On PPC64 hardware,
this master abort results in the host PCI bridge isolating that PCI device
from the rest of the system, making the device unusable until Linux is
rebooted. This patch is an attempt to close that exposure by introducing some
blocking code in the PCI code. When blocked, writes will be humored and reads
will return the cached value. Ben Herrenschmidt has also mentioned that he

The new SMBus PEC implementation doesn't support PEC emulation on
non-PEC non-I2C SMBus masters, so we can drop all related code.
Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
This is my rewrite of the SMBus PEC support. The original
implementation was known to have bugs (credits go to Hideki Iwamoto
for reporting many of them recently), and was incomplete due to a
conceptual limitation.
The rewrite affects only software PEC. Hardware PEC needs very little
code and is mostly untouched.
Technically, both implementations differ in that the original one
was emulating PEC in software by modifying the contents of an
i2c_smbus_data union (changing the transaction to a different type),
while the new one works one level lower, on i2c_msg structures (working
on message contents). Due to the definition of the i2c_smbus_data union,
not all SMBus transactions could be handled (at least not without
changing the definition of this union, which would break user-space
compatibility), and those which could had to be implemented
individually. At the opposite, adding PEC to an i2c_msg structure
can be done on any SMBus transaction with common code.
Advantages of the new implementation:
* It's about twice as small (from ~136 lines before to ~70 now, only
counting i2c-core, including blank and comment lines). The memory
used by i2c-core is down by ~640 bytes (~3.5%).
* Easier to validate, less tricky code. The code being common to all
transactions by design, the risk that a bug can stay uncovered is
lower.
* All SMBus transactions have PEC support in I2C emulation mode
(providing the non-PEC transaction is also implemented). Transactions
which have no emulation code right now will get PEC support for free
when they finally get implemented.
* Allows for code simplifications in header files and bus drivers
(patch follows).
Drawbacks (I guess there had to be at least one):
* PEC emulation for non-PEC capable non-I2C SMBus masters was dropped.
It was based on SMBus tricks and doesn't quite fit in the new design.
I don't think it's really a problem, as the benefit was certainly
not worth the additional complexity, but it's only fair that I at
least mention it.
Lastly, let's note that the new implementation does slightly affect
compatibility (both in kernel and user-space), but doesn't actually
break it. Some defines will be dropped, but the code can always be
changed in a way that will work with both the old and the new
implementations. It shouldn't be a problem as there doesn't seem to be
many users of SMBus PEC to date anyway.

i2c_smbus_data compatibility. There is no point in changing
i2c_smbus_data to support larger block transactions in SMBus mode, as
no SMBus hardware supports more than 32 byte blocks. Thus, for larger
transactions, direct I2C transfers are the way to go.

Attached is kernel patch for UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) feature.
1. This patch incorporate the review comments by Jeff Garzik.
2. Renamed USO as UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload)
3. udp sendfile support with UFO
This patches uses scatter-gather feature of skb to generate large UDP
datagram. Below is a "how-to" on changes required in network device
driver to use the UFO interface.
UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) Interface:
-------------------------------------------
UFO is a feature wherein the Linux kernel network stack will offload the
IP fragmentation functionality of large UDP datagram to hardware. This
will reduce the overhead of stack in fragmenting the large UDP datagram to
MTU sized packets
1) Drivers indicate their capability of UFO using
dev->features |= NETIF_F_UFO | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is required for UFO over ipv6.
2) UFO packet will be submitted for transmission using driver xmit routine.
UFO packet will have a non-zero value for
"skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size"
skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size will indicate the length of data part in each IP
fragment going out of the adapter after IP fragmentation by hardware.
skb->data will contain MAC/IP/UDP header and skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[]
contains the data payload. The skb->ip_summed will be set to CHECKSUM_HW
indicating that hardware has to do checksum calculation. Hardware should
compute the UDP checksum of complete datagram and also ip header checksum of
each fragmented IP packet.
For IPV6 the UFO provides the fragment identification-id in
skb_shinfo(skb)->ip6_frag_id. The adapter should use this ID for generating
IPv6 fragments.

This patch allows struct class_device to be nested, so that another
struct class_device can be the parent of a new one, instead of only
having the struct class be the parent. This will allow us to
(hopefully) fix up the input and video class subsystem mess.
But please people, don't go crazy and start making huge trees of class
devices, you should only need 2 levels deep to get everything to work
(remember to use a class_interface to get notification of a new class
device being added to the system.)
Oh, this also allows us to have the possibility of potentially, someday,
moving /sys/block into /sys/class. The main hindrance is that pesky

This is a refresh of an earlier patch to add "wakeup" support to the
PM core model. This provides per-device bus-neutral control of the
use of wakeup events.
* "struct device_pm_info" has two bits that are initialized as
part of setting up the enclosing struct device:
- "can_wakeup", reflecting hardware capabilities
- "may_wakeup", the policy setting (when CONFIG_PM)
* There's a writeable sysfs "wakeup" file, with one of two values:
- "enabled", when the policy is to allow wakeup
- "disabled", when the policy is not to allow it
- "" if the device can't currently issue wakeups
By default, wakeup is enabled on all devices that support it. If its
driver doesn't support it ... treat it as a bug. :)

- ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated
- missing gfp_t in fs/* added
- fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks:
XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator.
The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a
different type for those but for now let's leave them alone. That,
BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had
been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with
no way to catch misuses. Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that
immediately...

This patch reimplements elevator switch. This patch assumes generic
dispatch queue patchset is applied.
* Each request is tagged with REQ_ELVPRIV flag if it has its elevator
private data set.
* Requests which doesn't have REQ_ELVPRIV flag set never enter
iosched. They are always directly back inserted to dispatch queue.
Of course, elevator_put_req_fn is called only for requests which
have its REQ_ELVPRIV set.
* Request queue maintains the current number of requests which have
its elevator data set (elevator_set_req_fn called) in
q->rq->elvpriv.
* If a request queue has QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set, elevator private data
is not allocated for new requests.
To switch to another iosched, we set QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS and wait until
elvpriv goes to zero; then, we attach the new iosched and clears
QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS. New implementation is much simpler and main code
paths are less cluttered, IMHO.

IDR trees include a cache of idr_layer objects. There's no way to destroy

Or, we make the cache global, like radix_tree_preload(). Which is probably

The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been

Normally this only depends on the verifier size. In the integrity case we add

Once the state_owner and lock_owner semaphores get removed, it will be
possible for other OPEN requests to reopen the same file if they have
lower sequence ids than our CLOSE call.
This patch ensures that we recheck the file state once
nfs_wait_on_sequence() has completed waiting.
Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
NFSv4 file state-changing functions such as OPEN, CLOSE, LOCK,... are all
labelled with "sequence identifiers" in order to prevent the server from
reordering RPC requests, as this could cause its file state to
become out of sync with the client.
Currently the NFS client code enforces this ordering locally using
semaphores to restrict access to structures until the RPC call is done.
This, of course, only works with synchronous RPC calls, since the
user process must first grab the semaphore.
By dropping semaphores, and instead teaching the RPC engine to hold
the RPC calls until they are ready to be sent, we can extend this
process to work nicely with asynchronous RPC calls too.
This patch adds a new list called "rpc_sequence" that defines the order
of the RPC calls to be sent. We add one such list for each state_owner.
When an RPC call is ready to be sent, it checks if it is top of the
rpc_sequence list. If so, it proceeds. If not, it goes back to sleep,
and loops until it hits top of the list.
Once the RPC call has completed, it can then bump the sequence id counter,
and remove itself from the rpc_sequence list, and then wake up the next
sleeper.
Note that the state_owner sequence ids and lock_owner sequence ids are
all indexed to the same rpc_sequence list, so OPEN, LOCK,... requests
are all ordered w.r.t. each other.
Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
Currently, call_encode will cause the entire RPC call to abort if it returns

It seems that all the list_*_rcu primitives are missing a memory barrier

#define list_for_each_rcu(pos, head) \
for (pos = (head)->next; prefetch(pos->next), pos != (head); \
pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next))
It will go something like:
pos = (head)->next
prefetch(pos->next)
pos != (head)
do stuff
We're missing a barrier here.
pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next)
fetch pos->next
barrier given by rcu_dereference(pos->next)
store pos
Without the missing barrier, the pos->next value may turn out to be stale.
In fact, if "do stuff" were also dereferencing pos and relying on
list_for_each_rcu to provide the barrier then it may also break.
So here is a patch to make sure that we have a barrier for the first

When 'rustynat' was merged in 2.6.12, the use of the "helper" pointer of
struct ipt_nat_info was obsoleted, but the pointer not removed from the
struct.
This patch removes the pointer, thereby yet again shrinking struct
ip_conntrack.

As Henrik Nordstrom pointed out, all our efforts with "split endian" (i.e.
host byte order tags, net byte order values) are useless, unless a parser
can determine whether an attribute is nested or not.
This patch steals the highest bit of nfattr.nfa_type to indicate whether
the data payload contains a nested nfattr (1) or not (0).
This will break userspace compatibility, but luckily no kernel with
nfnetlink was released so far.

If a process issues an URB from userspace and (starts to) terminate
before the URB comes back, we run into the issue described above. This
is because the urb saves a pointer to "current" when it is posted to the
device, but there's no guarantee that this pointer is still valid
afterwards.
In fact, there are three separate issues:
1) the pointer to "current" can become invalid, since the task could be
completely gone when the URB completion comes back from the device.
2) Even if the saved task pointer is still pointing to a valid task_struct,
task_struct->sighand could have gone meanwhile.
3) Even if the process is perfectly fine, permissions may have changed,
and we can no longer send it a signal.
So what we do instead, is to save the PID and uid's of the process, and
introduce a new kill_proc_info_as_uid() function.

[ Fixed up types and added symbol exports ]

The following patch makes swsusp avoid the possible temporary corruption
of page translation tables during resume on x86-64. This is achieved by
creating a copy of the relevant page tables that will not be modified by
swsusp and can be safely used by it on resume.
The problem is that during resume on x86-64 swsusp may temporarily
corrupt the page tables used for the direct mapping of RAM. If that
happens, a page fault occurs and cannot be handled properly, which leads
to the solid hang of the affected system. This leads to the loss of the
system's state from before suspend and may result in the loss of data or
the corruption of filesystems, so it is a serious issue. Also, it
appears to happen quite often (for me, as often as 50% of the time).
The problem is related to the fact that (at least) one of the PMD
entries used in the direct memory mapping (starting at PAGE_OFFSET)
points to a page table the physical address of which is much greater
than the physical address of the PMD entry itself. Moreover,
unfortunately, the physical address of the page table before suspend
(i.e. the one stored in the suspend image) happens to be different to
the physical address of the corresponding page table used during resume
(i.e. the one that is valid right before swsusp_arch_resume() in
arch/x86_64/kernel/suspend_asm.S is executed). Thus while the image is
restored, the "offending" PMD entry gets overwritten, so it does not
point to the right physical address any more (i.e. there's no page
table at the address pointed to by it, because it points to the address
the page table has been at during suspend). Consequently, if the PMD
entry is used later on, and it _is_ used in the process of copying the
image pages, a page fault occurs, but it cannot be handled in the normal
way and the system hangs.
In principle we can call create_resume_mapping() from
swsusp_arch_resume() (ie. from suspend_asm.S), but then the memory
allocations in create_resume_mapping(), resume_pud_mapping(), and
resume_pmd_mapping() must be made carefully so that we use _only_
NosaveFree pages in them (the other pages are overwritten by the loop in
swsusp_arch_resume()). Additionally, we are in atomic context at that
time, so we cannot use GFP_KERNEL. Moreover, if one of the allocations
fails, we should free all of the allocated pages, so we need to trace
them somehow.
All of this is done in the appended patch, except that the functions
populating the page tables are located in arch/x86_64/kernel/suspend.c
rather than in init.c. It may be done in a more elegan way in the
future, with the help of some swsusp patches that are in the works now.

This redoes the n_ports logic I proposed before as a bitmask.
ata_pci_init_native_mode is now used with a mask allowing for mixed mode
stuff later on. ata_pci_init_legacy_port is called with port number and
does one port now not two. Instead it is called twice by the ata init
logic which cleans both of them up.
There are stil limits in the original code left over
- IRQ/port mapping for legacy mode should be arch specific values
- You can have one legacy mode IDE adapter per PCI root bridge on some systems
- Doesn't handle mixed mode devices yet (but is now a lot closer to it)
The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.
1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().
There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
race condition. I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.
This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and
Paul McKenney.

Arnaldo and I agreed it could be applied now, because I have other
pending patches depending on this one (Thank you Arnaldo)
(The other important patch moves skc_refcnt in a separate cache line,
so that the SMP/NUMA performance doesnt suffer from cache line ping pongs)
1) First some performance data :
--------------------------------
tcp_v4_rcv() wastes a *lot* of time in __inet_lookup_established()
The most time critical code is :
sk_for_each(sk, node, &head->chain) {
if (INET_MATCH(sk, acookie, saddr, daddr, ports, dif))
goto hit; /* You sunk my battleship! */
}
The sk_for_each() does use prefetch() hints but only the begining of
"struct sock" is prefetched.
As INET_MATCH first comparison uses inet_sk(__sk)->daddr, wich is far
away from the begining of "struct sock", it has to bring into CPU
cache cold cache line. Each iteration has to use at least 2 cache
lines.
This can be problematic if some chains are very long.
2) The goal
-----------
The idea I had is to change things so that INET_MATCH() may return
FALSE in 99% of cases only using the data already in the CPU cache,
using one cache line per iteration.
3) Description of the patch
---------------------------
Adds a new 'unsigned int skc_hash' field in 'struct sock_common',
filling a 32 bits hole on 64 bits platform.
struct sock_common {
unsigned short skc_family;
volatile unsigned char skc_state;
unsigned char skc_reuse;
int skc_bound_dev_if;
struct hlist_node skc_node;
struct hlist_node skc_bind_node;
atomic_t skc_refcnt;
+ unsigned int skc_hash;
struct proto *skc_prot;
};
Store in this 32 bits field the full hash, not masked by (ehash_size -
1) Using this full hash as the first comparison done in INET_MATCH
permits us immediatly skip the element without touching a second cache
line in case of a miss.
Suppress the sk_hashent/tw_hashent fields since skc_hash (aliased to
sk_hash and tw_hash) already contains the slot number if we mask with
(ehash_size - 1)
File include/net/inet_hashtables.h
64 bits platforms :
#define INET_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\
(((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash))
((*((__u64 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->daddr)))== (__cookie)) && \
((*((__u32 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->dport))) == (__ports)) && \
(!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif))))
32bits platforms:
#define TCP_IPV4_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\
(((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash)) && \
(inet_sk(__sk)->daddr == (__saddr)) && \
(inet_sk(__sk)->rcv_saddr == (__daddr)) && \
(!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif))))
- Adds a prefetch(head->chain.first) in
__inet_lookup_established()/__tcp_v4_check_established() and
__inet6_lookup_established()/__tcp_v6_check_established() and
__dccp_v4_check_established() to bring into cache the first element of the
list, before the {read|write}_lock(&head->lock);

I've found the problem in general. It affects any 64-bit
architecture. The problem occurs when you change the system time.
Suppose that when you boot your system clock is forward by a day.
This gets recorded down in skb_tv_base. You then wind the clock back
by a day. From that point onwards the offset will be negative which
essentially overflows the 32-bit variables they're stored in.
In fact, why don't we just store the real time stamp in those 32-bit
variables? After all, we're not going to overflow for quite a while
yet.
When we do overflow, we'll need a better solution of course.

Only one of the run or kick path is supposed to put an iocb on the run
list. If both of them do it than one of them can end up referencing a
freed iocb. The kick path could delete the task_list item from the wait
queue before getting the ctx_lock and putting the iocb on the run list.
The run path was testing the task_list item outside the lock so that it
could catch ki_retry methods that return -EIOCBRETRY *without* putting the
iocb on a wait queue and promising to call kick_iocb. This unlocked check
could then race with the kick path to cause both to try and put the iocb on
the run list.
The patch stops the run path from testing task_list by requring that any
ki_retry that returns -EIOCBRETRY *must* guarantee that kick_iocb() will be
called in the future. aio_p{read,write}, the only in-tree -EIOCBRETRY
users, are updated.
