      sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner · 7b595756
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
      deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
      so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
      often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
      accessing removed modules.
      
      This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
      this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
      backing module from being unloaded.
      
      For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
      following message.

      IB/umem: Fix possible hang on process exit · 24bce508
      Roland Dreier 提交于
      If ib_umem_release() is called after ib_uverbs_close() sets context->closing,
      then a process can get stuck in a D state, because the code boils down to
      
      	if (down_write_trylock(&mm->mmap_sem))
      		down_write(&mm->mmap_sem);
      
      which is obviously a stupid instant deadlock.  Fix the code so that we
      only try to take the lock once.
      
      This bug was introduced in commit f7c6a7b5 ("IB/uverbs: Export
      ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() to modules") which fortunately never
      made it into a release, and was reported by Pete Wyckoff <pw@osc.edu>.

      IB/cm: Improve local id allocation · 9f81036c
      Michael S. Tsirkin 提交于
      The IB CM uses an idr for local id allocations, with a running counter
      as start_id.  This fails to generate distinct ids if
      
      1. An id is constantly created and destroyed
      2. A chunk of ids just beyond the current next_id value is occupied
      
      This in turn leads to an increased chance of connection request being
      mis-detected as a duplicate, sometimes for several retries, until
      next_id gets past the block of allocated ids. This has been observed
      in practice.
      
      As a fix, remember the last id allocated and start immediately above it.
      This also fixes a problem with the old code, where next_id might
      overflow and become negative.

      Detach sched.h from mm.h · e8edc6e0
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
      function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
      mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
      
      This patch
      a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
      b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
      c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
      d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
      e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
         getting them indirectly
      
      Net result is:
      a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
         they don't need sched.h
      b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
         on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
         after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).
      
      Cross-compile tested on
      
      	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
      	alpha alpha-up
      	arm
      	i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig

      IB: Put rlimit accounting struct in struct ib_umem · 1bf66a30
      Roland Dreier 提交于
      When memory pinned with ib_umem_get() is released, ib_umem_release()
      needs to subtract the amount of memory being unpinned from
      mm->locked_vm.  However, ib_umem_release() may be called with
      mm->mmap_sem already held for writing if the memory is being released
      as part of an munmap() call, so it is sometimes necessary to defer
      this accounting into a workqueue.
      
      However, the work struct used to defer this accounting is dynamically
      allocated before it is queued, so there is the possibility of failing
      that allocation.  If the allocation fails, then ib_umem_release has no
      choice except to bail out and leave the process with a permanently
      elevated locked_vm.
      
      Fix this by allocating the structure to defer accounting as part of
      the original struct ib_umem, so there's no possibility of failing a
      later allocation if creating the struct ib_umem and pinning memory
      succeeds.

      IB/uverbs: Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() to modules · f7c6a7b5
      Roland Dreier 提交于
      Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() and put low-level drivers in
      control of when to call ib_umem_get() to pin and DMA map userspace,
      rather than always calling it in ib_uverbs_reg_mr() before calling the
      low-level driver's reg_user_mr method.
      
      Also move these functions to be in the ib_core module instead of
      ib_uverbs, so that driver modules using them do not depend on
      ib_uverbs.
      
      This has a number of advantages:
       - It is better design from the standpoint of making generic code a
         library that can be used or overridden by device-specific code as
         the details of specific devices dictate.
       - Drivers that do not need to pin userspace memory regions do not
         need to take the performance hit of calling ib_mem_get().  For
         example, although I have not tried to implement it in this patch,
         the ipath driver should be able to avoid pinning memory and just
         use copy_{to,from}_user() to access userspace memory regions.
       - Buffers that need special mapping treatment can be identified by
         the low-level driver.  For example, it may be possible to solve
         some Altix-specific memory ordering issues with mthca CQs in
         userspace by mapping CQ buffers with extra flags.
       - Drivers that need to pin and DMA map userspace memory for things
         other than memory regions can use ib_umem_get() directly, instead
         of hacks using extra parameters to their reg_phys_mr method.  For
         example, the mlx4 driver that is pending being merged needs to pin
         and DMA map QP and CQ buffers, but it does not need to create a
         memory key for these buffers.  So the cleanest solution is for mlx4
         to call ib_umem_get() in the create_qp and create_cq methods.

      IB: Add CQ comp_vector support · f4fd0b22
      Michael S. Tsirkin 提交于
      Add a num_comp_vectors member to struct ib_device and extend
      ib_create_cq() to pass in a comp_vector parameter -- this parallels
      the userspace libibverbs API.  Update all hardware drivers to set
      num_comp_vectors to 1 and have all ULPs pass 0 for the comp_vector
      value.  Pass the value of num_comp_vectors to userspace rather than
      hard-coding a value of 1.
      
      We want multiple CQ event vector support (via MSI-X or similar for
      adapters that can generate multiple interrupts), but it's not clear
      how many vectors we want, or how we want to deal with policy issues
      such as how to decide which vector to use or how to set up interrupt
      affinity.  This patch is useful for experimenting, since no core
      changes will be necessary when updating a driver to support multiple
      vectors, and we know that we want to make at least these changes
      anyway.

      PCI: Cleanup the includes of <linux/pci.h> · 6473d160
      Jean Delvare 提交于
      I noticed that many source files include <linux/pci.h> while they do
      not appear to need it. Here is an attempt to clean it all up.
      
      In order to find all possibly affected files, I searched for all
      files including <linux/pci.h> but without any other occurence of "pci"
      or "PCI". I removed the include statement from all of these, then I
      compiled an allmodconfig kernel on both i386 and x86_64 and fixed the
      false positives manually.
      
      My tests covered 66% of the affected files, so there could be false
      positives remaining. Untested files are:

      I would welcome test reports for these files. I am fine with removing
      the untested files from the patch if the general opinion is that these
      changes aren't safe. The tested part would still be nice to have.
