      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.

      kobject: Constify struct kset_uevent_ops · 9cd43611
      Emese Revfy 提交于
      Constify struct kset_uevent_ops.
      
      This is part of the ops structure constification
      effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.
      
      Benefits of this constification:
      
       * prevents modification of data that is shared
         (referenced) by many other structure instances
         at runtime
      
       * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
         modification attempts on archs that enforce
         read-only kernel data at runtime
      
       * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
         can assume that the const data cannot be changed
      
       * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
         and therefore exclude them from false sharing

      kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent · f520360d
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      Right now, the kobject_uevent code blocks for each uevent that's being
      generated, due to using (for hystoric reasons) UHM_WAIT_EXEC as flag to
      call_usermode_helper().  Specifically, the effect is that each uevent
      that is being sent causes the code to wake up keventd, then block until
      keventd has processed the work. Needless to say, this happens many times
      during the system boot.
      
      This patches changes that to UHN_NO_WAIT (brilliant name for a constant
      btw) so that we only schedule the work to fire the uevent message, but
      do not wait for keventd to process the work.
      
      This removes one of the bottlenecks during boot; each one of them is
      only a small effect, but the sum of them does add up.
      
      [Note, distros that need this are broken, they should be setting
      CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH to "", that way this code path will never be
      excuted at all -- gregkh]

      Driver core: implement uevent suppress in kobject · f67f129e
      Ming Lei 提交于
      This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it
      from struct device, based on the following ideas:
      
      1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it
      in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way,
      we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject.
      
      2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my
      omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object)
      
      This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to
      set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject
      as private part of struct device in future.

      ignore the last version.]

      netlink: change return-value logic of netlink_broadcast() · ff491a73
      Pablo Neira Ayuso 提交于
      Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no
      messages at all were delivered:
      
      1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0.
      2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone()
         failure, return -ENOBUFS.
      3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH.
      
      With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the
      messages to the listeners have failed:
      
      1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return
         -ENOBUFS.
      2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0.
      3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH.
      
      In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add
      reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the
      packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of
      course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces
      performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful
      firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for
      conntrackd) in return.
      
      This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that
      may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not
      of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to
      those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side
      if they hit ENOBUFS.
      
      BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call
      cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they
      internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

      These messages are a regression compared with 2.6.24, which did not
      flood the syslog with them.
      
      The actual underlying problem was introduced in 2.6.23, when somebody
      made the string parsing no longer accept nul-terminated strings as a
      valid input to store_uevent().
      
      Eg.  "add\0" was valid prior to 2.6.23, where the code regressed to
      require "add" without the '\0'.
      
      This patch fixes the 2.6.23 / 2.6.24 regressions, by having the code
      once again tolerate the trailing '\0', if present.
      
      According to GregKH, this mainly affects older Ubuntu systems, such as
      the one I have here that requires this fix.

      [NET]: Support multiple network namespaces with netlink · b4b51029
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace,
      this includes the controlling kernel sockets.
      
      This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols
      to only support the initial network namespace.  Request
      by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED.
      As they would if the kernel did not have the support for
      that netlink protocol compiled in.
      
      As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network
      namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets
      to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces.
      
      The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation
      at hash table insertion and hash table look up time.
