do_device_access() takes a separate parameter to indicate the direction of data transfer, which it used to use to select the appropriate function out of sg_pcopy_{to,from}_buffer(). However these two functions now have So this patch makes it bypass these wrappers and call the underlying function sg_copy_buffer() directly; this has the same calling style as do_device_access() i.e. a separate direction-of-transfer parameter and no pointers-to-const, so skipping the wrappers not only eliminates the warning, it also make the code simpler :) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix very broken build] Signed-off-by: NDave Gordon <david.s.gordon@intel.com> Acked-by: NArnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The 'buf' parameter of sg(p)copy_from_buffer() can and should be const-qualified, although because of the shared implementation of _to_buffer() and _from_buffer(), we have to cast this away internally. This means that callers who have a 'const' buffer containing the data to be copied to the sg-list no longer have to cast away the const-ness themselves. It also enables improved coverage by code analysis tools. Signed-off-by: NDave Gordon <david.s.gordon@intel.com> Cc: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> Cc: "Martin K.

The kerneldoc for the functions doesn't match the code; the last two parameters (buflen, skip) have been transposed, which is confusing, especially as they're both integral types and the compiler won't warn about swapping them. These functions and the kerneldoc were introduced in commit: df642cea lib/scatterlist: introduce sg_pcopy_from_buffer() ... Author: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> Date: Mon Jul 8 16:01:54 2013 -0700 The only difference between sg_pcopy_{from,to}_buffer() and sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() is an additional argument that specifies the number of bytes to skip the SG list before copying. The functions have the extra argument at the end, but the kerneldoc lists it in penultimate position.

In ipc_obtain_object_check we return -EIDRM when a bogus sequence number is detected via ipc_checkid, while the ipc manpages state the following return codes for such errors: EIDRM <ID> points to a removed identifier. EINVAL Invalid <ID> value, or unaligned, etc. EIDRM should only be returned upon a RMID call (->deleted check), and thus return EINVAL for wrong seq. This difference in semantics has also caused real bugs, ie: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246509Signed-off-by: NDavidlohr Bueso <dbueso@suse.de> Cc: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The ipc_lock helper is used by all forms of sysv ipc to acquire the ipc object's spinlock. Upon error (bogus identifier), we always return -EINVAL, whether the problem be in the idr path or because we raced with a task performing RMID. For the later, however, all ipc related manpages, state the that for: EIDRM <ID> points to a removed identifier. And return: EINVAL Invalid <ID> value, or unaligned, etc. Which (EINVAL) should only return once the ipc resource is deleted. For all types of ipc this is done immediately upon a RMID command. However, shared memory behaves slightly different as it can merely mark a segment for deletion, and delay the actual freeing until there are no more active consumers. Per shmctl(IPC_RMID) manpage: "" Mark the segment to be destroyed. The segment will only actually be destroyed after the last process detaches it (i.e., when the shm_nattch member of the associated structure shmid_ds is zero). "" Unlike ipc_lock, paths that behave "correctly", at least per the manpage, involve controlling the ipc resource via *ctl(), doing the exact same validity check as ipc_lock after right acquiring the spinlock: if (!ipc_valid_object()) { err = -EIDRM; goto out_unlock; } Thus make ipc_lock consistent with the rest of ipc code and return -EIDRM in ipc_lock when !ipc_valid_object().

We currently use a full barrier on the sender side to to avoid receiver tasks disappearing on us while still performing on the sender side wakeup. We lack however, the proper CPU-CPU interactions pairing on the receiver side which busy-waits for the message. Similarly, we do not need a full smp_mb, and can relax the semantics for the writer and reader sides of the message. This is safe as we are only ordering loads and stores to r_msg. And in both smp_wmb and smp_rmb, there are no stores after the calls _anyway_. This obviously applies for pipelined_send and expunge_all, for EIRDM when destroying a queue.

This replaces the plain loop over the sglist array with for_each_sg() macro which consists of sg_next() function calls. Since arc doesn't select ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN, it is not necessary to use for_each_sg() in order to loop over each sg element.

If devpts failed to initialize, it would store an ERR_PTR in the global devpts_mnt. A subsequent open of /dev/ptmx would call devpts_new_index, which would dereference devpts_mnt and crash. Avoid storing invalid values in devpts_mnt; leave it NULL instead. Make both devpts_new_index and devpts_pty_new fail gracefully with ENODEV in that case, which then becomes the return value to the userspace open call on /dev/ptmx.

Fix kernel gcov support for GCC 5.1. Similar to commit a992bf83 ("gcov: add support for GCC 4.9"), this patch takes into account the existence of a new gcov counter (see gcc's gcc/gcov-counter.def.) Firstly, it increments GCOV_COUNTERS (to 10), which makes the data structure struct gcov_info compatible with GCC 5.1. Secondly, a corresponding counter function __gcov_merge_icall_topn (Top N value tracking for indirect calls) is included in base.c with the other gcov counters unused for kernel profiling.

Commit f06e5153 ("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after panic_notifers") introduced "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" kernel boot option, which toggles wheather panic() calls crash_kexec() before panic_notifiers and dump kmsg or after. The problem is that the commit overlooks panic_on_oops kernel boot option. If it is enabled, crash_kexec() is called directly without going through panic() in oops path. To fix this issue, this patch adds a check to "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" in the condition of kexec_should_crash(). Also, put a comment in kexec_should_crash() to explain not obvious things on this patch.

For compatibility with the behaviour before the commit f06e5153 ("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after panic_notifers"), the 2nd crash_kexec() should be called only if crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled. Note that crash_kexec() returns immediately if kdump crash kernel is not loaded, so in this case, this patch makes no functionality change, but the point is to make it explicit, from the caller panic() side, that the 2nd crash_kexec() does nothing.

Any parameter passed after '--' in the kernel command-line will not be parsed by the kernel at all, instead it will be passed directly to init process. Currently the kernel appends elfcorehdr=<paddr> to the cmdline passed from kexec load, and if this command-line is used to pass parameters to init process this means that 'elfcorehdr' will not be parsed as a kernel parameter at all which will be a problem for vmcore subsystem since it will know nothing about the location of the ELF structure! Prepending 'elfcorehdr' instead of appending it fixes this problem since it ensures that it always comes before '--' and so it's always parsed as a kernel command-line parameter. Even with this patch things can still go wrong if 'CONFIG_CMDLINE' was also used to embedd a command-line to the crash dump kernel and this command-line contains '--' since the current behavior of the kernel is to actually append the boot loader command-line to the embedded command-line.

A patchset to remove support for passing pre-allocated struct seq_file to seq_open(). Such feature is undocumented and prone to error. In particular, if seq_release() is used in release handler, it will kfree() a pointer which was not allocated by seq_open(). So this patchset drops support for pre-allocated struct seq_file: it's only of use in proc_namespace.c and can be easily replaced by using seq_open_private()/seq_release_private(). Additionally, it documents the use of file->private_data to hold pointer to struct seq_file by seq_open(). This patch (of 3): Since patch described below, from v2.6.15-rc1, seq_open() could use a struct seq_file already allocated by the caller if the pointer to the structure is stored in file->private_data before calling the function.

Such behavior is only used by mounts_open_common(). In order to drop support for such uncommon feature, proc_mounts is converted to use seq_open_private(), which take care of allocating the proc_mounts structure, making it available through ->private in struct seq_file. Conversely, proc_mounts is converted to use seq_release_private(), in order to release the private structure allocated by seq_open_private(). Then, ->private is used directly instead of proc_mounts() macro to access to the proc_mounts structure.

Waiman Long reported that 24TB machines hit OOM during basic setup when struct page initialisation was deferred. One approach is to initialise memory on demand but it interferes with page allocator paths. This patch creates dedicated threads to initialise memory before basic setup. It then blocks on a rw_semaphore until completion as a wait_queue and counter is overkill. This may be slower to boot but it's simplier overall and also gets rid of a section mangling which existed so kswapd could do the initialisation.
