The tracepoint ext4_da_write_pages has a struct mpage_da_data* parameter, but that struct is only defined in fs/ext4/ext4.h. This patch adds a forward declaration for that struct, so this tracepoint header can still be used by tools like SystemTap.

The /proc/fs/ext4/<dev>/mb_history was maintained manually, and had a number of problems: it required a largish amount of memory to be allocated for each ext4 filesystem, and the s_mb_history_lock introduced a CPU contention problem. By ripping out the mb_history code and replacing it with ftrace tracepoints, and we get more functionality: timestamps, event filtering, the ability to correlate mballoc history with other ext4 tracepoints, etc. Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

The move away from having drivers assign wireless handlers, in favour of making cfg80211 assign them, broke the sysfs registration (the wireless/ dir went missing) because the handlers are now assigned only after registration, which is too late. Fix this by special-casing cfg80211-based devices, all of which are required to have an ieee80211_ptr, in the sysfs code, and also using get_wireless_stats() to have the same values reported as in procfs.

Work around problems in the writeback code to force out writebacks in larger chunks than just 4mb, which is just too small. This also works around limitations in the ext4 block allocator, which can't allocate more than 2048 blocks at a time. So we need to defeat the round-robin characteristics of the writeback code and try to write out as many blocks in one inode before allowing the writeback code to move on to another inode. We add a a new per-filesystem tunable, max_writeback_mb_bump, which caps this to a default of 128mb per inode. Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

The following commit made console open fails while booting: commit b50989dc Author: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Date: Sat Sep 19 13:13:22 2009 -0700 tty: make the kref destructor occur asynchronously Due to tty release routines run in a workqueue now, error like the following will be reported while booting: INIT open /dev/console Input/output error It also causes hibernation regression to appear as reported at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14229 The reason is that now there's latency issue with closing, but when we open a "closing not finished" tty, -EIO will be returned. Fix it as per the following Alan's suggestion: Fun but it's actually not a bug and the fix is wrong in itself as the port may be closing but not yet being destructed, in which case it seems to do the wrong thing. Opening a tty that is closing (and could be closing for long periods) is supposed to return -EIO. I suspect a better way to deal with this and keep the old console timing is to split tty->shutdown into two functions. tty->shutdown() - called synchronously just before we dump the tty onto the waitqueue for destruction tty->cleanup() - called when the destructor runs. We would then do the shutdown part which can occur in IRQ context fine, before queueing the rest of the release (from tty->magic = 0 ... the end) to occur asynchronously The USB update in -next would then need a call like if (tty->cleanup) tty->cleanup(tty); at the top of the async function and the USB shutdown to be split between shutdown and cleanup as the USB resource cleanup and final tidy cannot occur synchronously as it needs to sleep. In other words the logic becomes final kref put make object unfindable async clean it up Signed-off-by: NDave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> [ rjw: Rebased on top of 2.6.31-git, reworked the changelog. ] Signed-off-by: N"Rafael J.

[note this requires an fb patch posted to linux-fbdev-devel already] This uses the normal video= command line option to control the kms output setup at boot time. It is used to override the autodetection done by kms. video= normally takes a framebuffer as the first parameter, in kms it will take a connector name, DVI-I-1, or LVDS-1 etc. If no output connector is specified the mode string will apply to all connectors. The mode specification used will match down the probed modes, and if no mode is found it will add a CVT mode that matches. video=1024x768 - all connectors match a 1024x768 mode or add a CVT on video=VGA-1:1024x768, VGA-1 connector gets mode only. The same strings as used in current fb modedb.c are used, except I've added three more letters, e, D, d, e = enable, D = enable Digital, d = disable, which allow a connector to be forced into a certain state.

When unaligned accesses are required for uncompressing a kernel (such as for LZO decompression on ARM in a patch that follows), including <linux/kernel.h> causes issues as it brings in a lot of things that are not available in the decompression environment. linux/kernel.h brings at least: extern int console_printk[]; extern const char hex_asc[]; which causes errors at link-time as they are not available when compiling the pre-boot environement.

In order to direct the SIGIO signal to a particular thread of a multi-threaded application we cannot, like suggested by the manpage, put a TID into the regular fcntl(F_SETOWN) call. It will still be send to the whole process of which that thread is part. Since people do want to properly direct SIGIO we introduce F_SETOWN_EX. The need to direct SIGIO comes from self-monitoring profiling such as with perf-counters. Perf-counters uses SIGIO to notify that new sample data is available. If the signal is delivered to the same task that generated the new sample it can augment that data by inspecting the task's user-space state right after it returns from the kernel. This is esp. convenient for interpreted or virtual machine driven environments. Both F_SETOWN_EX and F_GETOWN_EX take a pointer to a struct f_owner_ex as argument: struct f_owner_ex { int type; pid_t pid; }; Where type is one of F_OWNER_TID, F_OWNER_PID or F_OWNER_GID.
