      BKL: introduce CONFIG_BKL. · 6de5bd12
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a
      few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even
      there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do
      about them, this patch illustrates one of the options:
      
      Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig,
      and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets
      disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL
      code itself is compiled out.
      
      The one exception is file locking, which is practically always
      enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces
      CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd
      mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c.

      x.25 attempts to negotiate invalid throughput · ddd0451f
      John Hughes 提交于
      The current X.25 code has some bugs in throughput negotiation:
      
         1. It does negotiation in all cases, usually there is no need
         2. It incorrectly attempts to negotiate the throughput class in one
            direction only.  There are separate throughput classes for input
            and output and if either is negotiated both mist be negotiates.
      
      This is bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15681
      
      This bug was first reported by Daniel Ferenci to the linux-x25 mailing
      list on 6/8/2004, but is still present.
      
      The current (2.6.34) x.25 code doesn't seem to know that the X.25
      throughput facility includes two values, one for the required
      throughput outbound, one for inbound.
      
      This causes it to attempt to negotiate throughput 0x0A, which is
      throughput 9600 inbound and the illegal value "0" for inbound
      throughput.
      
      Because of this some X.25 devices (e.g. Cisco 1600) refuse to connect
      to Linux X.25.
      
      The following patch fixes this behaviour.  Unless the user specifies a
      required throughput it does not attempt to negotiate.  If the user
      does not specify a throughput it accepts the suggestion of the remote
      X.25 system.  If the user requests a throughput then it validates both
      the input and output throughputs and correctly negotiates them with
      the remote end.

      x25: Patch to fix bug 15678 - x25 accesses fields beyond end of packet. · f5eb917b
      John Hughes 提交于
      Here is a patch to stop X.25 examining fields beyond the end of the packet.
      
      For example, when a simple CALL ACCEPTED was received:
      
      	10 10 0f
      
      x25_parse_facilities was attempting to decode the FACILITIES field, but this
      packet contains no facilities field.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      net/x25: push BKL usage into x25_proto · 91774904
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The x25 driver uses lock_kernel() implicitly through
      its proto_ops wrapper. The makes the usage explicit
      in order to get rid of that wrapper and to better document
      the usage of the BKL.
      
      The next step should be to get rid of the usage of the BKL
      in x25 entirely, which requires understanding what data
      structures need serialized accesses.
