      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      compat_ioctl: Supress "unknown cmd" message on serial /dev/console · 3f001711
      Atsushi Nemoto 提交于
      After the commit fb07a5f8 ("compat_ioctl: remove all VT ioctl
      handling"), I got this error message on 64-bit mips kernel with 32-bit
      busybox userland:
      
      ioctl32(init:1): Unknown cmd fd(0) cmd(00005600){t:'V';sz:0} arg(7fd76480) on /dev/console
      
      The cmd 5600 is VT_OPENQRY.  The busybox's init issues this ioctl to
      know vt-console or serial-console.  If the console was serial console,
      VT ioctls are not handled by the serial driver.
      
      And by quick search, I found some programs using VT_GETMODE to check
      vt-console is available or not.

      compat_ioctl: simplify lookup table · 661f627d
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The compat_ioctl table now only contains entries for
      COMPATIBLE_IOCTL, so we only need to know if a number
      is listed in it or now.
      
      As an optimization, we hash the table entries with a
      reversible transformation to get a more uniform distribution
      over it, sort the table at startup and then guess the
      position in the table when an ioctl number gets called
      to do a linear search from there.
      
      With the current set of ioctl numbers and the chosen
      transformation function, we need an average of four
      steps to find if a number is in the set, all of the
      accesses within one or two cache lines.
      
      This at least as good as the previous hash table
      approach but saves 8.5 kb of kernel memory.

      compat_ioctl: Remove BKL · 348c4b90
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      We have always called ioctl conversion handlers under the big kernel lock,
      although that is generally not necessary.  In particular it is not needed
      for conversion of data structures and for calling sys_ioctl or
      do_vfs_ioctl, which will get the BKL again if needed.
      
      Handlers doing more than those two have been moved out, so we can kill off
      the BKL from compat_sys_ioctl.  This may significantly improve latencies
      with 32 bit applications, and it avoids a common scenario where a thread
      acquires the BKL twice.

      net, compat_ioctl: handle socket ioctl abuses in tty drivers · 9646e7ce
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      Slip and a few other drivers use the same ioctl numbers on
      tty devices that are normally meant for sockets. This causes
      problems with our compat_ioctl handling that tries to convert
      the data structures in a different format.
      
      Fortunately, these five drivers all use 32 bit compatible
      data structures in the ioctl numbers, so we can just add
      a trivial compat_ioctl conversion function to each of them.
      
      SIOCSIFENCAP and SIOCGIFENCAP do not need to live in

      This also fixes a bug in the handling of invalid ioctl

      as a TUNSETIFF in native mode, but there is no way for
      the generic compat_ioctl() function to emulate this
      behaviour. Possibly the driver was only doing this
      accidentally anyway, but if any code relies on this
      misfeature, it now also works in compat mode.

      tun: Limit amount of queued packets per device · 33dccbb0
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      Unlike a normal socket path, the tuntap device send path does
      not have any accounting.  This means that the user-space sender
      may be able to pin down arbitrary amounts of kernel memory by
      continuing to send data to an end-point that is congested.
      
      Even when this isn't an issue because of limited queueing at
      most end points, this can also be a problem because its only
      response to congestion is packet loss.  That is, when those
      local queues at the end-point fills up, the tuntap device will
      start wasting system time because it will continue to send
      data there which simply gets dropped straight away.
      
      Of course one could argue that everybody should do congestion
      control end-to-end, unfortunately there are people in this world
      still hooked on UDP, and they don't appear to be going away
      anywhere fast.  In fact, we've always helped them by performing
      accounting in our UDP code, the sole purpose of which is to
      provide congestion feedback other than through packet loss.
      
      This patch attempts to apply the same bandaid to the tuntap device.
      It creates a pseudo-socket object which is used to account our
      packets just as a normal socket does for UDP.  Of course things
      are a little complex because we're actually reinjecting traffic
      back into the stack rather than out of the stack.
      
      The stack complexities however should have been resolved by preceding
      patches.  So this one can simply start using skb_set_owner_w.
      
      For now the accounting is essentially disabled by default for
      backwards compatibility.  In particular, we set the cap to INT_MAX.
      This is so that existing applications don't get confused by the
      sudden arrival EAGAIN errors.
      
      In future we may wish (or be forced to) do this by default.
