alg_key_len is the length in bits of the key, not in bytes. Best way to fix this is to move alg_len() function from net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c to include/net/xfrm.h, and to use it in xfrm_algo_clone() alg_len() is renamed to xfrm_alg_len() because of its global exposition.

Both NetLabel and SELinux (other LSMs may grow to use it as well) rely on the 'iif' field to determine the receiving network interface of inbound packets. Unfortunately, at present this field is not preserved across a skb clone operation which can lead to garbage values if the cloned skb is sent back through the network stack. This patch corrects this problem by properly copying the 'iif' field in __skb_clone() and removing the 'iif' field assignment from skb_act_clone() since it is no longer needed. Also, while we are here, put the assignments in the same order as the offsets to reduce cacheline bounces. Signed-off-by: NPaul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Create a bit to signal that a napi_disable() is in progress. This sets up infrastructure such that net_rx_action() can generically break out of the ->poll() loop on a NAPI context that has a pending napi_disable() yet is being bombed with packets (and thus would otherwise poll endlessly and not allow the napi_disable() to finish). Now, what napi_disable() does is first set the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit (to indicate that a disable is pending), then it polls for the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit, and once the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit is acquired the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit is cleared. Here, the test_and_set_bit() provides the necessary memory barrier between the various bitops. napi_schedule_prep() now tests for a pending disable as it's first action and won't try to obtain the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit if a disable is pending. As a result, we can remove the netif_running() check in netif_rx_schedule_prep() because the NAPI disable pending state serves this purpose. And, it does so in a NAPI centric manner which is what we really want. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

It is pointless, because everything that can make a device go away will do a napi_disable() first. The main impetus behind this is that now we can legally do a NAPI completion in generic code like net_rx_action() which a following changeset needs to do. net_rx_action() can only perform actions in NAPI centric ways, because there may be a one to many mapping between NAPI contexts and network devices (SKY2 is one example). We also want to get rid of this because it's an extra atomic in the NAPI paths, and also because it is one of the last instances where the NAPI interfaces care about net devices. The one remaining netdev detail the NAPI stuff cares about is the netif_running() check which will be killed off in a subsequent changeset. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Cleaning out all the incorrect 'no change made' checks for termios settings showed up a problem with the PL2303. The hardware here seems to lose sync and bits if you tell it to make no changes.

make randconfig bootup testing found that the cpufreq code crashes on bootup, if the powernow-k8 driver is enabled and if maxcpus=1 passed on the boot line to a !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU kernel.

This opened up the possibility to add the non-initialized sysdev device of the secondary core: cpufreq-core: trying to register driver powernow-k8 cpufreq-core: adding CPU 0 powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects cpufreq-core: initialization failed cpufreq-core: adding CPU 1 cpufreq-core: initialization failed which then blew up. The fix is to make cpu_is_offline() always the negation of cpu_online().

Most distributions have kernels with CPU hotplug enabled, so this bug remained hidden for a long time. Bug forensics: The broken cpu_is_offline() API variant was introduced via: commit a59d2e4e6977e7b94e003c96a41f07e96cddc340 Author: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Date: Mon Mar 8 06:06:03 2004 -0800 [PATCH] minor cleanups for hotplug CPUs ( this predates linux-2.6.git, this commit is available from Thomas's historic git tree. ) Then 1.5 years later the cpufreq code made use of it: commit c32b6b8e Author: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com> Date: Sun Oct 30 14:59:54 2005 -0800 [PATCH] create and destroy cpufreq sysfs entries based on cpu notifiers + if (cpu_is_offline(cpu)) + return 0; which is a correct use of the subtly broken new API. v2.6.15 then shipped with this bug included. then it took two more years for random-kernel qa to hit it.

This reverts commit ac40532e, which gets us back the original cleanup of 6f5391c2. It turns out that the bug that was triggered by that commit was apparently not actually triggered by that commit at all, and just the testing conditions had changed enough to make it appear to be due to it. The real problem seems to have been found by Peter Osterlund: "pktcdvd sets it [block device size] when opening the /dev/pktcdvd device, but when the drive is later opened as /dev/scd0, there is nothing that sets it back. (Btw, 40944 is possible if the disk is a CDRW that was formatted with "cdrwtool -m 10236".) The problem is that pktcdvd opens the cd device in non-blocking mode when pktsetup is run, and doesn't close it again until pktsetup -d is run. The effect is that if you meanwhile open the cd device, blkdev.c:do_open() doesn't call bd_set_size() because bdev->bd_openers is non-zero." In particular, to repeat the bug (regardless of whether commit 6f5391c2 is applied or not): " 1. Start with an empty drive. 2. pktsetup 0 /dev/scd0 3. Insert a CD containing an isofs filesystem. 4. mount /dev/pktcdvd/0 /mnt/tmp 5. umount /mnt/tmp 6. Press the eject button. 7. Insert a DVD containing a non-writable filesystem. 8. mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/tmp 9. find /mnt/tmp -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sha1sum >/dev/null 10. If the DVD contains data beyond the physical size of a CD, you get I/O errors in the terminal, and dmesg reports lots of "attempt to access beyond end of device" errors." which in turn is because the nested open after the media change won't cause the size to be set properly (because the original open still holds the block device, and we only do the bd_set_size() when we don't have other people holding the device open). The proper fix for that is probably to just do something like bdev->bd_inode->i_size = (loff_t)get_capacity(disk)<<9; in fs/block_dev.c:do_open() even for the cases where we're not the original opener (but *not* call bd_set_size(), since that will also change the block size of the device).

由 Nishanth Aravamudan 提交于
hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl While examining the code to support /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_dynamic_pool, I became convinced that having a boolean sysctl was insufficient: 1) To support per-node control of hugepages, I have previously submitted patches to add a sysfs attribute related to nr_hugepages. However, with a boolean global value and per-mount quota enforcement constraining the dynamic pool, adding corresponding control of the dynamic pool on a per-node basis seems inconsistent to me. 2) Administration of the hugetlb dynamic pool with multiple hugetlbfs mount points is, arguably, more arduous than it needs to be. Each quota would need to be set separately, and the sum would need to be monitored. To ease the administration, and to help make the way for per-node control of the static & dynamic hugepage pool, I added a separate sysctl, nr_overcommit_hugepages. This value serves as a high watermark for the overall hugepage pool, while nr_hugepages serves as a low watermark. The boolean sysctl can then be removed, as the condition nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0 indicates the same administrative setting as hugetlb_dynamic_pool == 1 Quotas still serve as local enforcement of the size of the pool on a per-mount basis. A few caveats: 1) There is a race whereby the global surplus huge page counter is incremented before a hugepage has allocated. Another process could then try grow the pool, and fail to convert a surplus huge page to a normal huge page and instead allocate a fresh huge page. I believe this is benign, as no memory is leaked (the actual pages are still tracked correctly) and the counters won't go out of sync. 2) Shrinking the static pool while a surplus is in effect will allow the number of surplus huge pages to exceed the overcommit value. As long as this condition holds, however, no more surplus huge pages will be allowed on the system until one of the two sysctls are increased sufficiently, or the surplus huge pages go out of use and are freed. Successfully tested on x86_64 with the current libhugetlbfs snapshot, modified to use the new sysctl.
