Now that we've removed the rq->lock requirement from the first part of ttwu() and can compute placement without holding any rq->lock, ensure we execute the second half of ttwu() on the actual cpu we want the task to run on. This avoids having to take rq->lock and doing the task enqueue remotely, saving lots on cacheline transfers.

Provide a generic p->on_rq because the p->se.on_rq semantics are unfavourable for lockless wakeups but needed for sched_fair. In particular, p->on_rq is only cleared when we actually dequeue the task in schedule() and not on any random dequeue as done by things like __migrate_task() and __sched_setscheduler(). This also allows us to remove p->se usage from !sched_fair code.

For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that function onto the CPU the task is actually going to run on. In order to do so we need a generic callback from the existing scheduler IPI. This patch introduces such a generic callback: scheduler_ipi() and implements it as a NOP.

Gaah. When commit be85bcca reverted the export of file system uuid via /proc/<pid>/mountinfo, it also unintentionally removed the s_uuid field in struct super_block. I didn't mean to do that, since filesystems have been taught to fill it in (and we want to keep it for future re-introduction in the mountinfo file). Stupid of me. This adds it back in.

This reverts commit 93f1c20b. It turns out that libmount misparses it because it adds a '-' character in the uuid string, which libmount then incorrectly confuses with the separator string (" - ") at the end of all the optional arguments. Upstream libmount (in the util-linux tree) has been fixed, but until that fix actually percolates up to users, we'd better not expose this change in the kernel. Let's revisit this later (possibly by exposing the UUID without any '-' characters in it, avoiding the user-space bug).

Xen save/restore is going to use hibernate device callbacks for quiescing devices and putting them back to normal operations and it would need to select CONFIG_HIBERNATION for this purpose. However, that also would cause the hibernate interfaces for user space to be enabled, which might confuse user space, because the Xen kernels don't support hibernation. Moreover, it would be wasteful, as it would make the Xen kernels include a substantial amount of code that they would never use. To address this issue introduce new power management Kconfig option CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS, such that it will only select the code that is necessary for the hibernate device callbacks to work and make CONFIG_HIBERNATION select it. Then, Xen save/restore will be able to select CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS without dragging the entire hibernate code along with it. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

The current block integrity (DIF/DIX) support in DM is verifying that all devices' integrity profiles match during DM device resume (which is past the point of no return). To some degree that is unavoidable (stacked DM devices force this late checking). But for most DM devices (which aren't stacking on other DM devices) the ideal time to verify all integrity profiles match is during table load. Introduce the notion of an "initialized" integrity profile: a profile that was blk_integrity_register()'d with a non-NULL 'blk_integrity' template. Add blk_integrity_is_initialized() to allow checking if a profile was initialized. Update DM integrity support to: - check all devices with _initialized_ integrity profiles match during table load; uninitialized profiles (e.g. for underlying DM device(s) of a stacked DM device) are ignored. - disallow a table load that would result in an integrity profile that conflicts with a DM device's existing (in-use) integrity profile - avoid clearing an existing integrity profile - validate all integrity profiles match during resume; but if they don't all we can do is report the mismatch (during resume we're past the point of no return) Signed-off-by: NMike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: Martin K.

ipv6 fib lookup can set RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE flag to restrict search to an interface, but this flag cannot be set via struct flowi. Also, it cannot be set via ip6_route_output: this function uses the passed sock struct to determine if this flag is required (by testing for nonzero sk_bound_dev_if). Work around this by passing in an artificial struct sk in case 'strict' argument is true. This is required to replace the rt6_lookup call in xt_addrtype.c with nf_afinfo->route().

The documentation for the USB ethernet devices suggests that only some devices are supposed to use usb0 as the network interface name instead of eth0. The logic used there, and documented in Kconfig for CDC is that eth0 will be used when the mac address is a globally assigned one, but usb0 is used for the locally managed range that is typically used on point-to-point links. Unfortunately, this has caused a lot of pain on the smsc95xx device that is used on the popular pandaboard without an EEPROM to store the MAC address, which causes the driver to call random_ether_address(). Obviously, there should be a proper MAC addressed assigned to the device, and discussions are ongoing about how to solve this, but this patch at least makes sure that the default interface naming gets a little saner and matches what the user can expect based on the documentation, including for new devices. The approach taken here is to flag whether a device might be a point-to-point link with the new FLAG_POINTTOPOINT setting in the usbnet driver_info. A driver can set both FLAG_POINTTOPOINT and FLAG_ETHER if it is not sure (e.g. cdc_ether), or just one of the two. The usbnet framework only looks at the MAC address for device naming if both flags are set, otherwise it trusts the flag.

This patch converts connector to do synchronous message processing by invoking the registered callback handler directly from the netlink receive function. In order to avoid invoking the callback with connector locks held, a reference count is added to struct cn_callback_entry, the reference is taken when finding a matching callback entry on the device's queue_list and released after the callback handler has been invoked.

This adds a driver for the CDC Ethernet part of this modem. The device's ID is blacklisted in cdc_ether.c and is white-listed in this new driver because of the quirks needed to make it useful. The modem's firmware exposes a CDC ACM port for modem control and a CDC Ethernet port for network data. The descriptors look fine but both ports actually are some sort of multiplexers requiring non- standard headers added/removed from every packet or they get ignored. All information is based on a usb traffic log from a Windows machine. On the Verizon 4G network I've seen speeds up to 1.1MB/s so far with this driver, a speed-o-meter site reports 16.2Mbps/10.5Mbps.
