      LDM: Fix for Windows Vista dynamic disks · dde33348
      Anton Altaparmakov 提交于
      This fixes the LDM driver so that it works with Windows Vista dynamic
      disks which are subtly different to Windows 2000/XP ones.
      
      The patch was needed to get a Vista formatted dynamic disk to be
      recognized and parsed successfully.
      
      Thanks go to Chris Teachworth for the report and testing.

      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%).

      signal/timer/event: KAIO eventfd support example · 9c3060be
      Davide Libenzi 提交于
      This is an example about how to add eventfd support to the current KAIO code,
      in order to enable KAIO to post readiness events to a pollable fd (hence
      compatible with POSIX select/poll).  The KAIO code simply signals the eventfd
      fd when events are ready, and this triggers a POLLIN in the fd.  This patch
      uses a reserved for future use member of the struct iocb to pass an eventfd
      file descriptor, that KAIO will use to post events every time a request
      completes.  At that point, an aio_getevents() will return the completed result
      to a struct io_event.  I made a quick test program to verify the patch, and it
      runs fine here:
      
      http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-aio-test.c
      
      The test program uses poll(2), but it'd, of course, work with select and epoll
      too.
      
      This can allow to schedule both block I/O and other poll-able devices
      requests, and wait for results using select/poll/epoll.  In a typical
      scenario, an application would submit KAIO request using aio_submit(), and
      will also use epoll_ctl() on the whole other class of devices (that with the
      addition of signals, timers and user events, now it's pretty much complete),
      and then would:
      
      	epoll_wait(...);
      	for_each_event {
      		if (curr_event_is_kaiofd) {
      			aio_getevents();
      			dispatch_aio_events();
      		} else {
      			dispatch_epoll_event();
      		}

      signal/timer/event: eventfd core · e1ad7468
      Davide Libenzi 提交于
      This is a very simple and light file descriptor, that can be used as event
      wait/dispatch by userspace (both wait and dispatch) and by the kernel
      (dispatch only).  It can be used instead of pipe(2) in all cases where those
      would simply be used to signal events.  Their kernel overhead is much lower
      than pipes, and they do not consume two fds.  When used in the kernel, it can
      offer an fd-bridge to enable, for example, functionalities like KAIO or
      syslets/threadlets to signal to an fd the completion of certain operations.
      But more in general, an eventfd can be used by the kernel to signal readiness,
      in a POSIX poll/select way, of interfaces that would otherwise be incompatible
      with it.  The API is:
      
      int eventfd(unsigned int count);
      
      The eventfd API accepts an initial "count" parameter, and returns an eventfd
      fd.  It supports poll(2) (POLLIN, POLLOUT, POLLERR), read(2) and write(2).
      
      The POLLIN flag is raised when the internal counter is greater than zero.
      
      The POLLOUT flag is raised when at least a value of "1" can be written to the
      internal counter.
      
      The POLLERR flag is raised when an overflow in the counter value is detected.
      
      The write(2) operation can never overflow the counter, since it blocks (unless
      O_NONBLOCK is set, in which case -EAGAIN is returned).
      
      But the eventfd_signal() function can do it, since it's supposed to not sleep
      during its operation.
      
      The read(2) function reads the __u64 counter value, and reset the internal
      value to zero.  If the value read is equal to (__u64) -1, an overflow happened
      on the internal counter (due to 2^64 eventfd_signal() posts that has never
      been retired - unlickely, but possible).
      
      The write(2) call writes an __u64 count value, and adds it to the current
      counter.  The eventfd fd supports O_NONBLOCK also.
      
      On the kernel side, we have:
      
      struct file *eventfd_fget(int fd);
      int eventfd_signal(struct file *file, unsigned int n);
      
      The eventfd_fget() should be called to get a struct file* from an eventfd fd
      (this is an fget() + check of f_op being an eventfd fops pointer).
      
      The kernel can then call eventfd_signal() every time it wants to post an event
      to userspace.  The eventfd_signal() function can be called from any context.
      An eventfd() simple test and bench is available here:
      
      http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-bench.c
      
      This is the eventfd-based version of pipetest-4 (pipe(2) based):
      
      http://www.xmailserver.org/pipetest-4.c
      
      Not that performance matters much in the eventfd case, but eventfd-bench
      shows almost as double as performance than pipetest-4.

      signal/timer/event: timerfd core · b215e283
      Davide Libenzi 提交于
      This patch introduces a new system call for timers events delivered though
      file descriptors.  This allows timer event to be used with standard POSIX
      poll(2), select(2) and read(2).  As a consequence of supporting the Linux
      f_op->poll subsystem, they can be used with epoll(2) too.
      
      The system call is defined as:
      
      int timerfd(int ufd, int clockid, int flags, const struct itimerspec *utmr);
      
      The "ufd" parameter allows for re-use (re-programming) of an existing timerfd
      w/out going through the close/open cycle (same as signalfd).  If "ufd" is -1,
      s new file descriptor will be created, otherwise the existing "ufd" will be
      re-programmed.
      
      The "clockid" parameter is either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.  The time
      specified in the "utmr->it_value" parameter is the expiry time for the timer.
      
      If the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME flag is set in "flags", this is an absolute time,
      otherwise it's a relative time.
      
      If the time specified in the "utmr->it_interval" is not zero (.tv_sec == 0,
      tv_nsec == 0), this is the period at which the following ticks should be
      generated.
      
      The "utmr->it_interval" should be set to zero if only one tick is requested.
      Setting the "utmr->it_value" to zero will disable the timer, or will create a
      timerfd without the timer enabled.
      
      The function returns the new (or same, in case "ufd" is a valid timerfd
      descriptor) file, or -1 in case of error.
      
      As stated before, the timerfd file descriptor supports poll(2), select(2) and
      epoll(2).  When a timer event happened on the timerfd, a POLLIN mask will be
      returned.
      
      The read(2) call can be used, and it will return a u32 variable holding the
      number of "ticks" that happened on the interface since the last call to
      read(2).  The read(2) call supportes the O_NONBLOCK flag too, and EAGAIN will
      be returned if no ticks happened.
      
      A quick test program, shows timerfd working correctly on my amd64 box:

      signal/timer/event: signalfd core · fba2afaa
      Davide Libenzi 提交于
      This patch series implements the new signalfd() system call.
      
      I took part of the original Linus code (and you know how badly it can be
      broken :), and I added even more breakage ;) Signals are fetched from the same
      signal queue used by the process, so signalfd will compete with standard
      kernel delivery in dequeue_signal().  If you want to reliably fetch signals on
      the signalfd file, you need to block them with sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK).  This
      seems to be working fine on my Dual Opteron machine.  I made a quick test
      program for it:
      
      http://www.xmailserver.org/signafd-test.c
      
      The signalfd() system call implements signal delivery into a file descriptor
      receiver.  The signalfd file descriptor if created with the following API:
      
      int signalfd(int ufd, const sigset_t *mask, size_t masksize);
      
      The "ufd" parameter allows to change an existing signalfd sigmask, w/out going
      to close/create cycle (Linus idea).  Use "ufd" == -1 if you want a brand new
      signalfd file.
      
      The "mask" allows to specify the signal mask of signals that we are interested
      in.  The "masksize" parameter is the size of "mask".
      
      The signalfd fd supports the poll(2) and read(2) system calls.  The poll(2)
      will return POLLIN when signals are available to be dequeued.  As a direct
      consequence of supporting the Linux poll subsystem, the signalfd fd can use
      used together with epoll(2) too.
      
      The read(2) system call will return a "struct signalfd_siginfo" structure in
      the userspace supplied buffer.  The return value is the number of bytes copied
      in the supplied buffer, or -1 in case of error.  The read(2) call can also
      return 0, in case the sighand structure to which the signalfd was attached,
      has been orphaned.  The O_NONBLOCK flag is also supported, and read(2) will
      return -EAGAIN in case no signal is available.
      
      If the size of the buffer passed to read(2) is lower than sizeof(struct
      signalfd_siginfo), -EINVAL is returned.  A read from the signalfd can also
      return -ERESTARTSYS in case a signal hits the process.  The format of the
      struct signalfd_siginfo is, and the valid fields depends of the (->code &
      __SI_MASK) value, in the same way a struct siginfo would:
      
      struct signalfd_siginfo {
      	__u32 signo;	/* si_signo */
      	__s32 err;	/* si_errno */
      	__s32 code;	/* si_code */
