The serial_txx9 driver have abused device numbers (major 4, minor 128) if CONFIG_SERIAL_TXX9_STDSERIAL was not set. This patch makes the driver use proper device numbers assigned for it (major 204, minor 196-203). I suppose a typical user of this driver set CONFIG_SERIAL_TXX9_STDSERIAL to Y (i.e. use "ttyS0"), so this patch would not cause big compatibility issue.

Apparently it's not cool anymore to use SPIN/RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED. There's some mention of this in Documentation/spinlocks.txt, but that only talks about dynamic initialisation. A comment in the code mentioning the preferred usage would be good IMHO.

There are many places in the kernel where the construction like foo = list_entry(head->next, struct foo_struct, list); are used. The code might look more descriptive and neat if using the macro list_first_entry(head, type, member) \ list_entry((head)->next, type, member) Here is the macro itself and the examples of its usage in the generic code. If it will turn out to be useful, I can prepare the set of patches to inject in into arch-specific code, drivers, networking, etc. Signed-off-by: NPavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: NKirill Korotaev <dev@openvz.org> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Zach Brown <zach.brown@oracle.com> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Cc: Ram Pai <linuxram@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于
While the !highres/!dyntick code assigns the duty of the do_timer() call to one specific CPU, this was dropped in the highres/dyntick part during development. Steven Rostedt discovered the xtime lock contention on highres/dyntick due to several CPUs trying to update jiffies. Add the single CPU assignement back. In the dyntick case this needs to be handled carefully, as the CPU which has the do_timer() duty must drop the assignement and let it be grabbed by another CPU, which is active. Otherwise the do_timer() calls would not happen during the long sleep.

notify_change() already calls security_inode_setattr() before calling iop->setattr. Alan sayeth This is a behaviour change on all of these and limits some behaviour of existing established security modules When inode_change_ok is called it has side effects. This includes clearing the SGID bit on attribute changes caused by chmod. If you make this change the results of some rulesets may be different before or after the change is made. I'm not saying the change is wrong but it does change behaviour so that needs looking at closely (ditto all other attribute twiddles) Signed-off-by: NSteve Beattie <sbeattie@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NAndreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NJohn Johansen <jjohansen@suse.de> Acked-by: NStephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

由 David Brownell 提交于
We've had various reports of some legacy "probe the hardware" style platform drivers having nasty problems with hotplug support. The core issue is that those legacy drivers don't fully conform to the driver model. They assume a role that should be the responsibility of infrastructure code: creating device nodes. The "modprobe" step in hotplugging relies on drivers to have split those roles into different modules. The lack of this split causes the problems. When a driver creates nodes for devices that don't exist (sending a hotplug event), then exits (aborting one modprobe) before the "modprobe $MODALIAS" step completes (by failing, since it's in the middle of a modprobe), the result can be an endless loop of modprobe invocations ... badness. This fix uses the newish per-device flag controlling issuance of "add" events. (A previous version of this patch used a per-device "driver can hotplug" flag, which only scrubbed $MODALIAS from the environment rather than suppressing the entire hotplug event.) It also shrinks that flag to one bit, saving a word in "struct device". So the net of this patch is removing some nasty failures with legacy drivers, while retaining hotplug capability for the majority of platform drivers.

Set rq->errors more correctly in cciss driver. Previously we had set it synonymously with the meaning of the last parameter of end_that_last_request and complete_buffers (the "uptodate" parameter) and had gotten away with it for all this time because nobody ever looked at rq->errors.

For all of you that think cciss should be a scsi driver here is the patch that you have been waiting for all these years. This patch actually adds the SG_IO ioctl to cciss. The primary purpose is for clustering and high-availibilty. But now anyone can exploit this ioctl in any manner they wish. Note, SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND doesn't work with this patch due to rq->errors being set incorrectly. Subsequent patch fixes that. Signed-off-by: NStephen M.

In a different approach here's a patch that handles the special case of composite arithmetic expressions in array size initializers. With it, prior to pushing the split strings on the @first_arg array, I split the keywords before the array name as before and then keep the array name along with the subscript expression as a single whole element which gets pushed last. In this manner, kernel-doc produces correct output without removing whitespaces which makes the array subscripts unreadable in the docs.
