New variant of iov_iter - ITER_BVEC in iter->type, backed with bio_vec array instead of iovec one. Primitives taught to deal with such beasts, __swap_write() switched to using that kind of iov_iter. Note that bio_vec is just a <page, offset, length> triple - there's nothing block-specific about it. I've left the definition where it was, but took it from under ifdef CONFIG_BLOCK. Next target: ->splice_write()... Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Beginning to introduce those. Just the callers for now, and it's clumsier than it'll eventually become; once we finish converting aio_read and aio_write instances, the things will get nicer. For now, these guys are in parallel to ->aio_read() and ->aio_write(); they take iocb and iov_iter, with everything in iov_iter already validated. File offset is passed in iocb->ki_pos, iov/nr_segs - in iov_iter. Main concerns in that series are stack footprint and ability to split the damn thing cleanly.

Since we are about to introduce new methods (read_iter/write_iter), the tests in a bunch of places would have to grow inconveniently. Check once (at open() time) and store results in ->f_mode as FMODE_CAN_READ and FMODE_CAN_WRITE resp. It might end up being a temporary measure - once everything switches from ->aio_{read,write} to ->{read,write}_iter it might make sense to return to open-coded checks. We'll see...

iov_iter_get_pages(iter, pages, maxsize, &start) grabs references pinning the pages of up to maxsize of (contiguous) data from iter. Returns the amount of memory grabbed or -error. In case of success, the requested area begins at offset start in pages[0] and runs through pages[1], etc. Less than requested amount might be returned - either because the contiguous area in the beginning of iterator is smaller than requested, or because the kernel failed to pin that many pages. direct-io.c switched to using iov_iter_get_pages() Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Currently, I am seeing the following when I `mount -t hugetlbfs /none /dev/hugetlbfs`, and then simply do a `ls /dev/hugetlbfs`.

Extract the check to a helper function, and use it in a few relevant places. This does make hugetlbfs not supported (not registered at all) in this environment.

If the victim in on the shrink list, don't remove it from there. If shrink_dentry_list() manages to remove it from the list before we are done - fine, we'll just free it as usual. If not - mark it with new flag (DCACHE_MAY_FREE) and leave it there. Eventually, shrink_dentry_list() will get to it, remove the sucker from shrink list and call dentry_kill(dentry, 0). Which is where we'll deal with freeing. Since now dentry_kill(dentry, 0) may happen after or during dentry_kill(dentry, 1), we need to recognize that (by seeing DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED already set), unlock everything and either free the sucker (in case DCACHE_MAY_FREE has been set) or leave it for ongoing dentry_kill(dentry, 1) to deal with.

A race exists between module loading and enabling of function tracer. CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- load_module() module->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING register_ftrace_function() mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock); ftrace_startup() update_ftrace_function(); ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare() set_all_module_text_rw(); <enables-ftrace> ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process() set_all_module_text_ro(); [ here all module text is set to RO, including the module that is loading!! ] blocking_notifier_call_chain(MODULE_STATE_COMING); ftrace_init_module() [ tries to modify code, but it's RO, and fails! ftrace_bug() is called] When this race happens, ftrace_bug() will produces a nasty warning and all of the function tracing features will be disabled until reboot. The simple solution is to treate module load the same way the core kernel is treated at boot. To hardcode the ftrace function modification of converting calls to mcount into nops. This is done in init/main.c there's no reason it could not be done in load_module(). This gives a better control of the changes and doesn't tie the state of the module to its notifiers as much. Ftrace is special, it needs to be treated as such. The reason this would work, is that the ftrace_module_init() would be called while the module is in MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, which is ignored by the set_all_module_text_ro() call.

On x86 the allocation of irq descriptors may allocate interrupts which are in the range of the GSI interrupts. That's wrong as those interrupts are hardwired and we don't have the irq domain translation like PPC. So one of these interrupts can be hooked up later to one of the devices which are hard wired to it and the io_apic init code for that particular interrupt line happily reuses that descriptor with a completely different configuration so hell breaks lose. Inside x86 we allocate dynamic interrupts from above nr_gsi_irqs, except for a few usage sites which have not yet blown up in our face for whatever reason. But for drivers which need an irq range, like the GPIO drivers, we have no limit in place and we don't want to expose such a detail to a driver. To cure this introduce a function which an architecture can implement to impose a lower bound on the dynamic interrupt allocations. Implement it for x86 and set the lower bound to nr_gsi_irqs, which is the end of the hardwired interrupt space, so all dynamic allocations happen above. That not only allows the GPIO driver to work sanely, it also protects the bogus callsites of create_irq_nr() in hpet, uv, irq_remapping and htirq code. They need to be cleaned up as well, but that's a separate issue.

The race was introduced while development of linux-3.11 by e8437d7e and e9975fde. Originally it was found and reproduced on linux-3.12.15 and linux-3.12.15-rt25, by sending 500 byte blocks with 115kbaud to the target uart in a loop with 100 milliseconds delay. In short: 1. The consumer flush_to_ldisc is on to remove the head tty_buffer. 2. The producer adds a number of bytes, so that a new tty_buffer must be allocated and added by __tty_buffer_request_room. 3. The consumer removes the head tty_buffer element, without handling newly committed data. Detailed example: * Initial buffer: * Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=240; next=NULL * Consumer: ''flush_to_ldisc'' * consumed 10 Byte * buffer: * Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL {{{ count = head->commit - head->read; // count = 0 if (!count) { // enter // INTERRUPTED BY PRODUCER -> if (head->next == NULL) break; buf->head = head->next; tty_buffer_free(port, head); continue; } }}} * Producer: tty_insert_flip_... 10 bytes + tty_flip_buffer_push * buffer: * Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL * added 6 bytes: head-element filled to maximum. * buffer: * Head, Tail -> 0: used=256; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL * added 4 bytes: __tty_buffer_request_room is called * buffer: * Head -> 0: used=256; commit=256; read=250; next=1 * Tail -> 1: used=4; commit=0; read=250 next=NULL * push (tty_flip_buffer_push) * buffer: * Head -> 0: used=256; commit=256; read=250; next=1 * Tail -> 1: used=4; commit=4; read=250 next=NULL * Consumer {{{ count = head->commit - head->read; if (!count) { // INTERRUPTED BY PRODUCER <- if (head->next == NULL) // -> no break break; buf->head = head->next; tty_buffer_free(port, head); // ERROR: tty_buffer head freed -> 6 bytes lost continue; } }}} This patch reintroduces a spin_lock to protect this case. Perhaps later a lock-less solution could be found.

And then we also need to accept the fact that some irqdomains do not exist that early on, and only get initialized later on. So we can make the current WARN_ON into just into a pr_debug(). We still attempt to populate irq resources when we create the devices. This allows current drivers which don't use platform_get_irq to continue to function.

The log shows: dwc3 2690000.dwc3: failed to initialize core dwc3: probe of 2690000.dwc3 failed with error -38 Hence, fix it by making NULL a valid phy reference in Generic PHY APIs stubs in the same way as it was done by the patch 04c2faca "drivers: phy: Make NULL a valid phy reference".

serio devices exposed via platform firmware interfaces such as ACPI may provide additional identifying information of use to userspace. We don't associate the serio devices with the firmware device (we don't set it as parent), so there's no way for userspace to make use of this information. We cannot change the parent for serio devices instantiated though a firmware interface as that would break suspend / resume ordering. Therefore this patch adds a new firmware_id sysfs attribute so that userspace can get a string from there with any additional identifying information the firmware interface may provide.
