Unaligned access is ok for the following arches: cris, m68k, mn10300, powerpc, s390, x86 Arches that use the memmove implementation for native endian, and the byteshifting for the opposite endianness. h8300, m32r, xtensa Packed struct for native endian, byteshifting for other endian: alpha, blackfin, ia64, parisc, sparc, sparc64, mips, sh m86knommu is generic_be for Coldfire, otherwise unaligned access is ok. frv, arm chooses endianness based on compiler settings, uses the byteshifting versions. Remove the unaligned trap handler from frv as it is now unused. v850 is le, uses the byteshifting versions for both be and le. Remove the now unused asm-generic implementation.

Create a linux/unaligned directory similar in spirit to the linux/byteorder folder to hold generic implementations collected from various arches. Currently there are five implementations: 1) packed_struct.h: C-struct based, from asm-generic/unaligned.h 2) le_byteshift.h: Open coded byte-swapping, heavily based on asm-arm 3) be_byteshift.h: Open coded byte-swapping, heavily based on asm-arm 4) memmove.h: taken from multiple implementations in tree 5) access_ok.h: taken from x86 and others, unaligned access is ok. All of the new implementations checks for sizes not equal to 1,2,4,8 and will fail to link. API additions: get_unaligned_{le16|le32|le64|be16|be32|be64}(p) which is meant to replace code of the form: le16_to_cpu(get_unaligned((__le16 *)p)); put_unaligned_{le16|le32|le64|be16|be32|be64}(val, pointer) which is meant to replace code of the form: put_unaligned(cpu_to_le16(val), (__le16 *)p); The headers that arches should include from their asm/unaligned.h: access_ok.h : Wrappers of the byteswapping functions in asm/byteorder Choose a particular implementation for little-endian access: le_byteshift.h le_memmove.h (arch must be LE) le_struct.h (arch must be LE) Choose a particular implementation for big-endian access: be_byteshift.h be_memmove.h (arch must be BE) be_struct.h (arch must be BE) After including as needed from the above, include unaligned/generic.h and define your arch's get/put_unaligned as (for LE): Signed-off-by: NHarvey Harrison <harvey.harrison@gmail.com> Cc: <linux-arch@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This patch allows Network Block Device to be mounted locally (nbd-client to nbd-server over 127.0.0.1). It creates a kthread to avoid the deadlock described in NBD tools documentation. So, if nbd-client hangs waiting for pages, the kblockd thread can continue its work and free pages. I have tested the patch to verify that it avoids the hang that always occurs when writing to a localhost nbd connection. I have also tested to verify that no performance degradation results from the additional thread and queue. Patch originally from Laurent Vivier.

This set of patches fixes an proc ->open'less usage due to ->proc_fops flip in the most part of the kernel code. The original OOPS is described in the commit 2d3a4e36: Typical PDE creation code looks like: pde = create_proc_entry("foo", 0, NULL); if (pde) pde->proc_fops = &foo_proc_fops; Notice that PDE is first created, only then ->proc_fops is set up to final value. This is a problem because right after creation a) PDE is fully visible in /proc , and b) ->proc_fops are proc_file_operations which do not have ->open callback. So, it's possible to ->read without ->open (see one class of oopses below). The fix is new API called proc_create() which makes sure ->proc_fops are set up before gluing PDE to main tree. Typical new code looks like: pde = proc_create("foo", 0, NULL, &foo_proc_fops); if (!pde) return -ENOMEM; Fix most networking users for a start. In the long run, create_proc_entry() for regular files will go. In addition to this, proc_create_data is introduced to fix reading from proc without PDE->data. The race is basically the same as above. create_proc_entries is replaced in the entire kernel code as new method is also simply better. This patch: The problem is the same as for de->proc_fops. Right now PDE becomes visible without data set. So, the entry could be looked up without data. This, in most cases, will simply OOPS. proc_create_data call is created to address this issue. proc_create now becomes a wrapper around it. Signed-off-by: NDenis V.

The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from the first executable VMA. Then the path to the file is reconstructed and reported as the result. Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems. This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems. Instead of walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct. That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs. So we track the number of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is unmapped. This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem.

Don't generate the per-UID user and user session keyrings unless they're explicitly accessed. This solves a problem during a login process whereby set*uid() is called before the SELinux PAM module, resulting in the per-UID keyrings having the wrong security labels. This also cures the problem of multiple per-UID keyrings sometimes appearing due to PAM modules (including pam_keyinit) setuiding and causing user_structs to come into and go out of existence whilst the session keyring pins the user keyring. This is achieved by first searching for extant per-UID keyrings before inventing new ones. The serial bound argument is also dropped from find_keyring_by_name() as it's not currently made use of (setting it to 0 disables the feature).

Introduce the registration of a callback routine that recomputes msg_ctlmni upon memory add / remove. A single notifier block is registered in the hotplug memory chain for all the ipc namespaces. Since the ipc namespaces are not linked together, they have their own notification chain: one notifier_block is defined per ipc namespace. Each time an ipc namespace is created (removed) it registers (unregisters) its notifier block in (from) the ipcns chain. The callback routine registered in the memory chain invokes the ipcns notifier chain with the IPCNS_LOWMEM event. Each callback routine registered in the ipcns namespace, in turn, recomputes msgmni for the owning namespace.

On large systems we'd like to allow a larger number of message queues. In some cases up to 32K. However simply setting MSGMNI to a larger value may cause problems for smaller systems. The first patch of this series introduces a default maximum number of message queue ids that scales with the amount of lowmem. Since msgmni is per namespace and there is no amount of memory dedicated to each namespace so far, the second patch of this series scales msgmni to the number of ipc namespaces too. Since msgmni depends on the amount of memory, it becomes necessary to recompute it upon memory add/remove. In the 4th patch, memory hotplug management is added: a notifier block is registered into the memory hotplug notifier chain for the ipc subsystem. Since the ipc namespaces are not linked together, they have their own notification chain: one notifier_block is defined per ipc namespace. Each time an ipc namespace is created (removed) it registers (unregisters) its notifier block in (from) the ipcns chain. The callback routine registered in the memory chain invokes the ipcns notifier chain with the IPCNS_MEMCHANGE event. Each callback routine registered in the ipcns namespace, in turn, recomputes msgmni for the owning namespace. The 5th patch makes it possible to keep the memory hotplug notifier chain's lock for a lesser amount of time: instead of directly notifying the ipcns notifier chain upon memory add/remove, a work item is added to the global workqueue. When activated, this work item is the one who notifies the ipcns notifier chain. Since msgmni depends on the number of ipc namespaces, it becomes necessary to recompute it upon ipc namespace creation / removal. The 6th patch uses the ipc namespace notifier chain for that purpose: that chain is notified each time an ipc namespace is created or removed. This makes it possible to recompute msgmni for all the namespaces each time one of them is created or removed. When msgmni is explicitely set from userspace, we should avoid recomputing it upon memory add/remove or ipcns creation/removal. This is what the 7th patch does: it simply unregisters the ipcns callback routine as soon as msgmni has been changed from procfs or sysctl(). Even if msgmni is set by hand, it should be possible to make it back automatically recomputed upon memory add/remove or ipcns creation/removal. This what is achieved in patch 8: if set to a negative value, msgmni is added back to the ipcns notifier chain, making it automatically recomputed again. This patch: Compute msg_ctlmni to make it scale with the amount of lowmem. msg_ctlmni is now set to make the message queues occupy 1/32 of the available lowmem. Some cleaning has also been done for the MSGPOOL constant: the msgctl man page says it's not used, but it also defines it as a size in bytes (the code expresses it in Kbytes).

Introduce new interfaces, dma_*map*_attrs(), for passing architecture-specific attributes when memory is mapped and unmapped for DMA. Give the interfaces default implementations which ignore attributes. Also introduce the dma_{set|get}_attr() interfaces for setting and retrieving individual attributes. Define one attribute, DMA_ATTR_WRITE_BARRIER, in anticipation of its use by ia64/sn. Select whether architectures implement arch-specific versions of the dma_*map*_attrs() interfaces via HAVE_DMA_ATTRS in Kconfig.

This is a very common requirement from people using the resource accounting facilities (not only memcgroup but also OpenVZ beancounters). They want to put the cgroup in an initial state without re-creating it. For example after re-configuring a group people want to observe how this new configuration fits the group needs without saving the previous failcnt value. Merge two resets into one mem_cgroup_reset() function to demonstrate how multiplexing work. Besides, I have plans to move the files, that correspond to res_counter to the res_counter.c file and somehow "import" them into controller. I don't know how to make it gracefully yet, but merging resets of max_usage and failcnt in one function will be there for sure.
