This factors out protocol and low-level storage parts of ceph into a separate libceph module living in net/ceph and include/linux/ceph. This is mostly a matter of moving files around. However, a few key pieces of the interface change as well: - ceph_client becomes ceph_fs_client and ceph_client, where the latter captures the mon and osd clients, and the fs_client gets the mds client and file system specific pieces. - Mount option parsing and debugfs setup is correspondingly broken into two pieces. - The mon client gets a generic handler callback for otherwise unknown messages (mds map, in this case). - The basic supported/required feature bits can be expanded (and are by ceph_fs_client). No functional change, aside from some subtle error handling cases that got cleaned up in the refactoring process. Signed-off-by: NSage Weil <sage@newdream.net>

Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit 0eead9ab ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes. Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense. dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway, and none of them are in any way performance-critical. And we really don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already are.

akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping code). Just remove it. Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write(). It probably doesn't matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ... [ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of calling ->write directly. That also does the whole fsnotify and write statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ] And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even compile) Reported-by: Nakiphie <akiphie@lavabit.com> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This patch disables the fanotify syscalls by just not building them and letting the cond_syscall() statements in kernel/sys_ni.c redirect them to sys_ni_syscall(). It was pointed out by Tvrtko Ursulin that the fanotify interface did not include an explicit prioritization between groups. This is necessary for fanotify to be usable for hierarchical storage management software, as they must get first access to the file, before inotify-like notifiers see the file. This feature can be added in an ABI compatible way in the next release (by using a number of bits in the flags field to carry the info) but it was suggested by Alan that maybe we should just hold off and do it in the next cycle, likely with an (new) explicit argument to the syscall. I don't like this approach best as I know people are already starting to use the current interface, but Alan is all wise and noone on list backed me up with just using what we have. I feel this is needlessly ripping the rug out from under people at the last minute, but if others think it needs to be a new argument it might be the best way forward. Three choices: Go with what we got (and implement the new feature next cycle). Add a new field right now (and implement the new feature next cycle). Wait till next cycle to release the ABI (and implement the new feature next cycle). This is number 3.

2.6.36 introduces an API for drivers to switch the IO scheduler instead of manually calling the elevator exit and init functions. This API was added since q->elevator must be cleared in between those two calls. And since we already have this functionality directly from use by the sysfs interface to switch schedulers online, it was prudent to reuse it internally too. But this API needs the queue to be in a fully initialized state before it is called, or it will attempt to unregister elevator kobjects before they have been added. This results in an oops like this: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000051 IP: [<ffffffff8116f15e>] sysfs_create_dir+0x2e/0xc0 PGD 47ddfc067 PUD 47c6a1067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP last sysfs file: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:04:00.1/irq CPU 2 Modules linked in: t(+) loop hid_apple usbhid ahci ehci_hcd uhci_hcd libahci usbcore nls_base igb Pid: 7319, comm: modprobe Not tainted 2.6.36-rc6+ #132 QSSC-S4R/QSSC-S4R RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8116f15e>] [<ffffffff8116f15e>] sysfs_create_dir+0x2e/0xc0 RSP: 0018:ffff88027da25d08 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: ffff88047c68c528 RBX: 00000000fffffffe RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 000000000000002f RSI: 000000000000002f RDI: ffff88047e196c88 RBP: ffff88027da25d38 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: d84156c5635688c0 R10: d84156c5635688c0 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff88047e196c88 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff88047c68c528 FS: 00007fcb0b26f6e0(0000) GS:ffff880287400000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 0000000000000051 CR3: 000000047e76e000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process modprobe (pid: 7319, threadinfo ffff88027da24000, task ffff88027d377090) Stack: ffff88027da25d58 ffff88047c68c528 00000000fffffffe ffff88047e196c88 <0> ffff88047c68c528 ffff88047e05bd90 ffff88027da25d78 ffffffff8123fb77 <0> ffff88047e05bd90 0000000000000000 ffff88047e196c88 ffff88047c68c528 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8123fb77>] kobject_add_internal+0xe7/0x1f0 [<ffffffff8123fd98>] kobject_add_varg+0x38/0x60 [<ffffffff8123feb9>] kobject_add+0x69/0x90 [<ffffffff8116efe0>] ? sysfs_remove_dir+0x20/0xa0 [<ffffffff8103d48d>] ? sub_preempt_count+0x9d/0xe0 [<ffffffff8143de20>] ? _raw_spin_unlock+0x30/0x50 [<ffffffff8116efe0>] ? sysfs_remove_dir+0x20/0xa0 [<ffffffff8116eff4>] ? sysfs_remove_dir+0x34/0xa0 [<ffffffff81224204>] elv_register_queue+0x34/0xa0 [<ffffffff81224aad>] elevator_change+0xfd/0x250 [<ffffffffa007e000>] ? t_init+0x0/0x361 [t] [<ffffffffa007e000>] ? t_init+0x0/0x361 [t] [<ffffffffa007e0a8>] t_init+0xa8/0x361 [t] [<ffffffff810001de>] do_one_initcall+0x3e/0x170 [<ffffffff8108c3fd>] sys_init_module+0xbd/0x220 [<ffffffff81002f2b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: e5 41 56 41 55 41 54 49 89 fc 53 48 83 ec 10 48 85 ff 74 52 48 8b 47 18 49 c7 c5 00 46 61 81 48 85 c0 74 04 4c 8b 68 30 45 31 f6 <41> 80 7d 51 00 74 0e 49 8b 44 24 28 4c 89 e7 ff 50 20 49 89 c6 RIP [<ffffffff8116f15e>] sysfs_create_dir+0x2e/0xc0 RSP <ffff88027da25d08> CR2: 0000000000000051 ---[ end trace a6541d3bf07945df ]--- Fix this by adding a registered bit to the elevator queue, which is set when the sysfs kobjects have been registered.

With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it possible to do most of the module loading in parallel. However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific "module_finalize()" rather than from generic code. Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the module loading lock any more. So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations are now safe. Future fixups: - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it belongs. - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain for other reasons.

It wants to prevent the total length from looking like an error return value. However it does this using 'int', but syscalls return 'long' (and thus signed 64-bit on 64-bit machines). So it could trigger false-positives on 64-bit as written. So fix it to use 'long'.

This patch adds a workaround for an IOMMU BIOS problem to the AMD IOMMU driver. The result of the bug is that the IOMMU does not execute commands anymore when the system comes out of the S3 state resulting in system failure. The bug in the BIOS is that is does not restore certain hardware specific registers correctly. This workaround reads out the contents of these registers at boot time and restores them on resume from S3. The workaround is limited to the specific IOMMU chipset where this problem occurs.

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could introduce problems on some architectures. This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length. The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the implementation of the new global function. This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space() for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers can also be removed.

mm: page allocator: calculate a better estimate of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory is low and kswapd is awake Ordinarily watermark checks are based on the vmstat NR_FREE_PAGES as it is cheaper than scanning a number of lists. To avoid synchronization overhead, counter deltas are maintained on a per-cpu basis and drained both periodically and when the delta is above a threshold. On large CPU systems, the difference between the estimated and real value of NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high. If NR_FREE_PAGES is much higher than number of real free page in buddy, the VM can allocate pages below min watermark, at worst reducing the real number of pages to zero. Even if the OOM killer kills some victim for freeing memory, it may not free memory if the exit path requires a new page resulting in livelock. This patch introduces a zone_page_state_snapshot() function (courtesy of Christoph) that takes a slightly more accurate view of an arbitrary vmstat counter. It is used to read NR_FREE_PAGES while kswapd is awake to avoid the watermark being accidentally broken. The estimate is not perfect and may result in cache line bounces but is expected to be lighter than the IPI calls necessary to continually drain the per-cpu counters while kswapd is awake.

Tests with recent firmware on Intel X25-M 80GB and OCZ Vertex 60GB SSDs show a shift since I last tested in December: in part because of firmware updates, in part because of the necessary move from barriers to awaiting completion at the block layer. While discard at swapon still shows as slightly beneficial on both, discarding 1MB swap cluster when allocating is now disadvanteous: adds 25% overhead on Intel, adds 230% on OCZ (YMMV). Surrender: discard as presently implemented is more hindrance than help for swap; but might prove useful on other devices, or with improvements. So continue to do the discard at swapon, but make discard while swapping conditional on a SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD to sys_swapon() (which has been using only the lower 16 bits of int flags). We can add a --discard or -d to swapon(8), and a "discard" to swap in /etc/fstab: matching the mount option for btrfs, ext4, fat, gfs2, nilfs2.

Please revert 2.6.36-rc commit d2997b10 "hibernation: freeze swap at hibernation". It complicated matters by adding a second swap allocation path, just for hibernation; without in any way fixing the issue that it was intended to address - page reclaim after fixing the hibernation image might free swap from a page already imaged as swapcache, letting its swap be reallocated to store a different page of the image: resulting in data corruption if the imaged page were freed as clean then swapped back in. Pages freed to si->swap_map were still in danger of being reallocated by the alternative allocation path. I guess it inadvertently fixed slow SSD swap allocation for hibernation, as reported by Nigel Cunningham: by missing out the discards that occur on the usual swap allocation path; but that was unintentional, and needs a separate fix.

Replace the arbitrary software-reset call from the device-probe method, because: - It is defective. To work correctly, it should be two byte writes, not a single word write. As it stands, it does nothing. - Some devices with sx150x expanders installed have their NRESET pins ganged on the same line, so resetting one causes the others to reset - not a nice thing to do arbitrarily! - The probe, usually taking place at boot, implies a recent hard-reset, so a software reset at this point is just a waste of energy anyway. Therefore, make it optional, defaulting to off, as this will match the common case of probing at powerup and also matches the current broken no-op behavior.

The pte_same check is reliable only if the swap entry remains pinned (by the page lock on swapcache). We've also to ensure the swapcache isn't removed before we take the lock as try_to_free_swap won't care about the page pin. One of the possible impacts of this patch is that a KSM-shared page can point to the anon_vma of another process, which could exit before the page is freed. This can leave a page with a pointer to a recycled anon_vma object, or worse, a pointer to something that is no longer an anon_vma.

Add cgroup_attach_task_all() The existing cgroup_attach_task_current_cg() API is called by a thread to attach another thread to all of its cgroups; this is unsuitable for cases where a privileged task wants to attach itself to the cgroups of a less privileged one, since the call must be made from the context of the target task. This patch adds a more generic cgroup_attach_task_all() API that allows both the source task and to-be-moved task to be specified. cgroup_attach_task_current_cg() becomes a specialization of the more generic new function.

The introduction of support for SD combo cards breaks the initialization of all CSR SDIO chips. The GO_IDLE (CMD0) in mmc_sd_get_cid() causes CSR chips to be reset (this is non-standard behavior). When initializing an SDIO card check for a combo card by using the memory present bit in the R4 response to IO_SEND_OP_COND (CMD5). This avoids the call to mmc_sd_get_cid() on an SDIO-only card.

lg_lock_global() currently only acquires spinlocks for online CPUs, but it's meant to lock all possible CPUs. Lglock-protected resources may be associated with removed CPUs - and, indeed, that could happen with the per-superblock open files lists. At Nick's suggestion, change for_each_online_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to protect accesses to those resources.

Alex Shi found a regression when doing ffsb test. The test has several threads, and each thread creates a small file, write to it and then delete it. ffsb reports about 20% regression and Alex bisected it to 43d2932d. The test will call __mark_inode_dirty 3 times. without this commit, we only take inode_lock one time, while with it, we take the lock 3 times with flags ( I_DIRTY_SYNC,I_DIRTY_PAGES,I_DIRTY). Perf shows the lock contention increased too much. Below proposed patch fixes it. fs is allocating blocks, which usually means file writes and the inode will be dirtied soon. We fully dirty the inode to reduce some inode_lock contention in several calls of __mark_inode_dirty. Jan Kara: Added comment.

commit 052dc7c4i "spi/dw_spi: conditional transfer mode change" introduced cs_control code, which has a bug by using bit offset for spi mode to set transfer mode in control register. Also it forces devices who don't need cs_control to re-configure the control registers for each spi transfer. This patch will fix them Signed-off-by: NFeng Tang <feng.tang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NGrant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>

The full cleanup of init_MUTEX[_LOCKED] and DECLARE_MUTEX has not been done. Some of the users are real semaphores and we should name them as such instead of confusing everyone with "MUTEX".

cgroup_attach_task_current_cg API that have upstream is backwards: we really need an API to attach to the cgroups from another process A to the current one. In our case (vhost), a priveledged user wants to attach it's task to cgroups from a less priveledged one, the API makes us run it in the other task's context, and this fails. So let's make the API generic and just pass in 'from' and 'to' tasks. Add an inline wrapper for cgroup_attach_task_current_cg to avoid breaking bisect. Signed-off-by: NMichael S.
