      time: Move ktime_t overflow checking into timespec_valid_strict · cee58483
      John Stultz 提交于
      Andreas Bombe reported that the added ktime_t overflow checking added to
      timespec_valid in commit 4e8b1452 ("time: Improve sanity checking of
      timekeeping inputs") was causing problems with X.org because it caused
      timeouts larger then KTIME_T to be invalid.
      
      Previously, these large timeouts would be clamped to KTIME_MAX and would
      never expire, which is valid.
      
      This patch splits the ktime_t overflow checking into a new
      timespec_valid_strict function, and converts the timekeeping codes
      internal checking to use this more strict function.

      ARM: omap: allow building omap44xx without SMP · c7a9b09b
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The new omap4 cpuidle implementation currently requires
      ARCH_NEEDS_CPU_IDLE_COUPLED, which only works on SMP.
      
      This patch makes it possible to build a non-SMP kernel
      for that platform. This is not normally desired for
      end-users but can be useful for testing.
      
      Without this patch, building rand-0y2jSKT results in:
      
      drivers/cpuidle/coupled.c: In function 'cpuidle_coupled_poke':
      drivers/cpuidle/coupled.c:317:3: error: implicit declaration of function '__smp_call_function_single' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
      
      It's not clear if this patch is the best solution for
      the problem at hand. I have made sure that we can now
      build the kernel in all configurations, but that does
      not mean it will actually work on an OMAP44xx.

      There was other data but primarily it is all showing that compaction is
      contended heavily on the zone->lock and zone->lru_lock.
      
      commit [b2eef8c0: mm: compaction: minimise the time IRQs are disabled
      while isolating pages for migration] noted that it was possible for
      migration to hold the lru_lock for an excessive amount of time. Very
      broadly speaking this patch expands the concept.
      
      This patch introduces compact_checklock_irqsave() to check if a lock
      is contended or the process needs to be scheduled. If either condition
      is true then async compaction is aborted and the caller is informed.
      The page allocator will fail a THP allocation if compaction failed due
      to contention. This patch also introduces compact_trylock_irqsave()
      which will acquire the lock only if it is not contended and the process
      does not need to schedule.

      netfilter: nf_ct_sip: fix IPv6 address parsing · 02b69cbd
      Patrick McHardy 提交于
      Within SIP messages IPv6 addresses are enclosed in square brackets in most
      cases, with the exception of the "received=" header parameter. Currently
      the helper fails to parse enclosed addresses.
      
      This patch:
      
      - changes the SIP address parsing function to enforce square brackets
        when required, and accept them when not required but present, as
        recommended by RFC 5118.
      
      - adds a new SDP address parsing function that never accepts square
        brackets since SDP doesn't use them.
      
      With these changes, the SIP helper correctly parses all test messages
      from RFC 5118 (Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Torture Test Messages
      for Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)).

      Input: eeti_ts: pass gpio value instead of IRQ · 4eef6cbf
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The EETI touchscreen asserts its IRQ line as soon as it has data in its
      internal buffers. The line is automatically deasserted once all data has
      been read via I2C. Hence, the driver has to monitor the GPIO line and
      cannot simply rely on the interrupt handler reception.
      
      In the current implementation of the driver, irq_to_gpio() is used to
      determine the GPIO number from the i2c_client's IRQ value.
      
      As irq_to_gpio() is not available on all platforms, this patch changes
      this and makes the driver ignore the passed in IRQ. Instead, a GPIO is
      added to the platform_data struct and gpio_to_irq is used to derive the
      IRQ from that GPIO. If this fails, bail out. The driver is only able to
      work in environments where the touchscreen GPIO can be mapped to an
      IRQ.

      canfd: remove redundant CAN FD flag · 035534ed
      Oliver Hartkopp 提交于
      The first idea of the CAN FD implementation started with a new struct
      canfd_frame to be used for both CAN FD frames and legacy CAN frames.
      The now mainlined implementation supports both CAN frame types simultaneously
      and distinguishes them only by their required sizes: CAN_MTU and CANFD_MTU.
      
      Only the struct canfd_frame contains a flags element which is needed for the
      additional CAN FD information. As CAN FD implicitly means that the 'Extened
      Data Length' mode is enabled the formerly defined CANFD_EDL bit became
      redundant and also confusing as an unset bit would be an error and would
      always need to be tested.
      
      This patch removes the obsolete CANFD_EDL bit and clarifies the documentation
      for the use of struct canfd_frame and the CAN FD relevant flags.

      ext4: make sure the journal sb is written in ext4_clear_journal_err() · d796c52e
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      After we transfer set the EXT4_ERROR_FS bit in the file system
      superblock, it's not enough to call jbd2_journal_clear_err() to clear
      the error indication from journal superblock --- we need to call
      jbd2_journal_update_sb_errno() as well.  Otherwise, when the root file
      system is mounted read-only, the journal is replayed, and the error
      indicator is transferred to the superblock --- but the s_errno field
      in the jbd2 superblock is left set (since although we cleared it in
      memory, we never flushed it out to disk).
      
      This can end up confusing e2fsck.  We should make e2fsck more robust
      in this case, but the kernel shouldn't be leaving things in this
      confused state, either.

      its dirty state.
      
      The nice thing about killing this thread is that it improves power management.
      Indeed, 'sync_supers' is a source of monotonic system wake-ups - it woke up
      every 5 seconds no matter what - even if there were no dirty superblocks and
      even if there were no file-systems using this service (e.g., btrfs and
      journalled ext4 do not need it). So it was wasting power most of the time. And
      because the thread was in the core of the kernel, all systems had to have it.
      So I am quite happy to make it go away.
      
      Interestingly, this thread is a left-over from the pdflush kernel thread which
      was a self-forking kernel thread responsible for all the write-back in old
      Linux kernels. It was turned into per-block device BDI threads, and
      'sync_supers' was a left-over. Thus, R.I.P, pdflush as well.
