1d589bb1 "Add serial number support for virtio_blk, V4a" extended 'struct virtio_blk_config' to 536 bytes. Lguest and S/390 both use an 8 bit value for the feature length, and this change broke them (if the code is naive).

由 Hidetoshi Seto 提交于
commit d6580a9f ("kexec: sysrq: simplify sysrq-c handler") changed the behavior of sysrq-c to unconditional dereference of NULL pointer. So in cases with CONFIG_KEXEC, where crash_kexec() was directly called from sysrq-c before, now it can be said that a step of "real oops" was inserted before starting kdump. However, in contrast to oops via SysRq-c from keyboard which results in panic due to in_interrupt(), oops via "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger" will not become panic unless panic_on_oops=1. It means that even if dump is properly configured to be taken on panic, the sysrq-c from proc interface might not start crashdump while the sysrq-c from keyboard can start crashdump. This confuses traditional users of kdump, i.e. people who expect sysrq-c to do common behavior in both of the keyboard and proc interface. This patch brings the keyboard and proc interface behavior of sysrq-c in line, by forcing panic_on_oops=1 before oops in sysrq-c handler. And some updates in documentation are included, to clarify that there is no longer dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC, and that now the system can just crash by sysrq-c if no dump mechanism is configured.

由 Eric Dumazet 提交于
When a slab cache uses SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, we must be careful when allocating objects, since slab allocator could give a freed object still used by lockless readers. In particular, nf_conntrack RCU lookups rely on ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next being always valid (ie containing a valid 'nulls' value, or a valid pointer to next object in hash chain.) kmem_cache_zalloc() setups object with NULL values, but a NULL value is not valid for ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next. Fix is to call kmem_cache_alloc() and do the zeroing ourself. As spotted by Patrick, we also need to make sure lookup keys are committed to memory before setting refcount to 1, or a lockless reader could get a reference on the old version of the object. Its key re-check could then pass the barrier. Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NPatrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

由 David Brownell 提交于
Add two new spi_device.mode bits to accomodate more protocol options, and pass them through to usermode drivers: * SPI_NO_CS ... a second 3-wire variant, where the chipselect line is removed instead of a data line; transfers are still full duplex. This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state transitions with the SPI master. * SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low to pause the clock. This defines a 5-wire variant (normal 4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus each of the 3-wire flavors). Such hardware flow control can be a big win. There are ADC converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not many host controllers support it today. The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its current nonportable hack. That's a mode most hardware can easily support (unlike SPI_READY).

(feature suggested by Sergey Senozhatsky) Kmemleak needs to track all the memory allocations but some of these happen before kmemleak is initialised.

由 Trent Piepho 提交于
There already is a "default-on" trigger but there are problems with it. For one, it's a inefficient way to do it and requires led trigger support to be compiled in. But the real reason is that is produces a glitch on the LED. The GPIO is allocate with the LED *off*, then *later* when the trigger runs it is turned back on. If the LED was already on via the GPIO's reset default or action of the firmware, this produces a glitch where the LED goes from on to off to on. While normally this is fast enough that it wouldn't be noticeable to a human observer, there are still serious problems. One is that there may be something else on the GPIO line, like a hardware alarm or watchdog, that is fast enough to notice the glitch. Another is that the kernel may panic before the LED is turned back on, thus hanging with the LED in the wrong state. This is not just speculation, but actually happened to me with an embedded system that has an LED which should turn off when the kernel finishes booting, which was left in the incorrect state due to a bug in the OF LED binding code. We also let GPIO LEDs get their initial value from whatever the current state of the GPIO line is. On some systems the LEDs are put into some state by the firmware or hardware before Linux boots, and it is desired to have them keep this state which is otherwise unknown to Linux. This requires that the underlying GPIO driver support reading the value of output GPIOs. Some drivers support this and some do not. The platform device binding gains a field in the platform data "default_state" that controls this. There are three constants defined to select from on, off, or keeping the current state. The OpenFirmware binding uses a property named "default-state" that can be set to "on", "off", or "keep". The default if the property isn't present is off.

The DIM modes are used to set _blink_ patterns for leds, the pattern is specified supplying two parameters: - period: from 0s to 1.6s - duty cycle: percentage of the period the led is on, from 0 to 100 LP3944 can be found on Motorola A910 smartphone, where it drives the rgb leds, the camera flash light and the displays backlights.

由 Jonthan Brassow 提交于
This patch contains a device-mapper mirror log module that forwards requests to userspace for processing. The structures used for communication between kernel and userspace are located in include/linux/dm-log-userspace.h. Due to the frequency, diversity, and 2-way communication nature of the exchanges between kernel and userspace, 'connector' was chosen as the interface for communication. The first log implementations written in userspace - "clustered-disk" and "clustered-core" - support clustered shared storage. A userspace daemon (in the LVM2 source code repository) uses openAIS/corosync to process requests in an ordered fashion with the rest of the nodes in the cluster so as to prevent log state corruption. Other implementations with no association to LVM or openAIS/corosync, are certainly possible. (Imagine if two machines are writing to the same region of a mirror. They would both mark the region dirty, but you need a cluster-aware entity that can handle properly marking the region clean when they are done. Otherwise, you might clear the region when the first machine is done, not the second.)
