      remove lots of IS_ERR_VALUE abuses · 287980e4
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they
      pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long'
      argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended
      on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an
      unsigned type.
      
      However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'
      argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
      8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.
      
      Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that
      were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any
      users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments.
      
      This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find
      on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the
      moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE()
      because there are probably still architecture specific users
      elsewhere.
      
      Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off
      using 'if (err)' or 'if (err < 0)'.
      The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for
      is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove
      the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'.
      For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions
      are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior.
      
      I was using this definition for testing:
      
       #define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL && \
             unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) >= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO))
      
      which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with
      the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed
      to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time
      warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument.
      
      I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended
      up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After
      the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion
      (fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus
      asked me to send the whole thing again.

      mm: introduce page reference manipulation functions · fe896d18
      Joonsoo Kim 提交于
      The success of CMA allocation largely depends on the success of
      migration and key factor of it is page reference count.  Until now, page
      reference is manipulated by direct calling atomic functions so we cannot
      follow up who and where manipulate it.  Then, it is hard to find actual
      reason of CMA allocation failure.  CMA allocation should be guaranteed
      to succeed so finding offending place is really important.
      
      In this patch, call sites where page reference is manipulated are
      converted to introduced wrapper function.  This is preparation step to
      add tracepoint to each page reference manipulation function.  With this
      facility, we can easily find reason of CMA allocation failure.  There is
      no functional change in this patch.
      
      In addition, this patch also converts reference read sites.  It will
      help a second step that renames page._count to something else and
      prevents later attempt to direct access to it (Suggested by Andrew).

      net: fec: use CONFIG_ARM instead of CONFIG_ARCH_MXC/SOC_IMX28 · 05f3b50e
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      As Arnd Bergmann points out, using CONFIG_ARCH_MXC and/or SOC_IMX28
      is wrong if some other ARM platform uses this device - the operation
      of the driver would depend on an unrelated ARM platform that might
      or might not be set for multi-platform kernels.
      
      Prior to my previous patch, any other platforms using it would have
      been broken already due to having the cbd_datlen/cbd_sc fields in
      the wrong order, but byte ordering correctly, so no such platforms
      can exist and work today.
      
      In any case, it seems likely that only Freescale SoCs use this part,
      and those are little-endian on ARM, so CONFIG_ARM is safe for them.

      net: fec: make driver endian-safe · 5cfa3039
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      The driver treats the device descriptors as CPU-endian, which appears
      to be correct with the default endianness on both ARM (typically LE)
      and PowerPC (typically BE) SoCs, indicating that the hardware block
      is generated differently. Add endianness annotations and byteswaps as
      necessary.
      
      It's not clear that the ifdef there really is correct and shouldn't
      just be #ifdef CONFIG_ARM, but I also can't test on anything but the
      i.MX6 HummingBoard where this gets it working with a BE kernel.
