      block: max hardware sectors limit wrapper · 72d4cd9f
      Mike Snitzer 提交于
      Implement blk_limits_max_hw_sectors() and make
      blk_queue_max_hw_sectors() a wrapper around it.
      
      DM needs this to avoid setting queue_limits' max_hw_sectors and
      max_sectors directly.  dm_set_device_limits() now leverages
      blk_limits_max_hw_sectors() logic to establish the appropriate
      max_hw_sectors minimum (PAGE_SIZE).  Fixes issue where DM was
      incorrectly setting max_sectors rather than max_hw_sectors (which
      caused dm_merge_bvec()'s max_hw_sectors check to be ineffective).

      block: Deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use queue_limits instead · e692cb66
      Martin K. Petersen 提交于
      When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This
      forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be
      used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a
      metadevice.
      
      There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up
      to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had
      completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in
      sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing
      commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver.
      
      The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing.
      We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the
      block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned
      into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking.
      Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is
      removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster
      flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD.

      The nvram_get function was never in the mainline kernel, it only existed in

      contains the mac address in text from like 00:11:22:33:44:55. We have to
      parse it before adding it into macaddr.
      
      nvram_parse_macaddr will be merged into asm/mach-bcm47xx/nvram.h through

      PM / Runtime: Fix pm_runtime_suspended() · f08f5a0a
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      There are some situations (e.g. in __pm_generic_call()), where
      pm_runtime_suspended() is used to decide whether or not to execute
      a device's (system) ->suspend() callback.  The callback is not
      executed if pm_runtime_suspended() returns true, but it does so
      for devices that don't even support runtime PM, because the
      power.disable_depth device field is ignored by it.  This leads to
      problems (i.e. devices are not suspened when they should), so rework
      pm_runtime_suspended() so that it returns false if the device's
      power.disable_depth field is different from zero.

      Input: define separate EVIOCGKEYCODE_V2/EVIOCSKEYCODE_V2 · ab4e0192
      Dmitry Torokhov 提交于
      The desire to keep old names for the EVIOCGKEYCODE/EVIOCSKEYCODE while
      extending them to support large scancodes was a mistake. While we tried
      to keep ABI intact (and we succeeded in doing that, programs compiled
      on older kernels will work on newer ones) there is still a problem with
      recompiling existing software with newer kernel headers.
      
      New kernel headers will supply updated ioctl numbers and kernel will
      expect that userspace will use struct input_keymap_entry to set and
      retrieve keymap data. But since the names of ioctls are still the same
      userspace will happily compile even if not adjusted to make use of the
      new structure and will start miraculously fail in the field.
      
      To avoid this issue let's revert EVIOCGKEYCODE/EVIOCSKEYCODE definitions
      and add EVIOCGKEYCODE_V2/EVIOCSKEYCODE_V2 so that userspace can explicitly
      select the style of ioctls it wants to employ.

      nfs: remove extraneous and problematic calls to nfs_clear_request · 2df485a7
      Trond Myklebust 提交于
      When a nfs_page is freed, nfs_free_request is called which also calls
      nfs_clear_request to clean out the lock and open contexts and free the
      pagecache page.
      
      However, a couple of places in the nfs code call nfs_clear_request
      themselves. What happens here if the refcount on the request is still high?
      We'll be releasing contexts and freeing pointers while the request is
      possibly still in use.
      
      Remove those bare calls to nfs_clear_context. That should only be done when
      the request is being freed.
      
      Note that when doing this, we need to watch out for tests of req->wb_page.
      Previously, nfs_set_page_tag_locked() and nfs_clear_page_tag_locked()
      would check the value of req->wb_page to figure out if the page is mapped
      into the nfsi->nfs_page_tree. We now indicate the page is mapped using
      the new bit PG_MAPPED in req->wb_flags .

      fanotify: on group destroy allow all waiters to bypass permission check · 09e5f14e
      Lino Sanfilippo 提交于
      When fanotify_release() is called, there may still be processes waiting for
      access permission. Currently only processes for which an event has already been
      queued into the groups access list will be woken up.  Processes for which no
      event has been queued will continue to sleep and thus cause a deadlock when
      fsnotify_put_group() is called.
      Furthermore there is a race allowing further processes to be waiting on the
      access wait queue after wake_up (if they arrive before clear_marks_by_group()
      is called).
      This patch corrects this by setting a flag to inform processes that the group
      is about to be destroyed and thus not to wait for access permission.
      
      [additional changelog from eparis]
      Lets think about the 4 relevant code paths from the PoV of the
      'operator' 'listener' 'responder' and 'closer'.  Where operator is the
      process doing an action (like open/read) which could require permission.
      Listener is the task (or in this case thread) slated with reading from
      the fanotify file descriptor.  The 'responder' is the thread responsible
      for responding to access requests.  'Closer' is the thread attempting to
      close the fanotify file descriptor.
      
      The 'operator' is going to end up in:
      fanotify_handle_event()
        get_response_from_access()
          (THIS BLOCKS WAITING ON USERSPACE)
      
      The 'listener' interesting code path
      fanotify_read()
        copy_event_to_user()
          prepare_for_access_response()
            (THIS CREATES AN fanotify_response_event)
      
      The 'responder' code path:
      fanotify_write()
        process_access_response()
          (REMOVE A fanotify_response_event, SET RESPONSE, WAKE UP 'operator')
      
      The 'closer':
      fanotify_release()
        (SUPPOSED TO CLEAN UP THE REST OF THIS MESS)
      
      What we have today is that in the closer we remove all of the
      fanotify_response_events and set a bit so no more response events are
      ever created in prepare_for_access_response().
      
      The bug is that we never wake all of the operators up and tell them to
      move along.  You fix that in fanotify_get_response_from_access().  You
      also fix other operators which haven't gotten there yet.  So I agree
      that's a good fix.

      PM / Hibernate: Fix memory corruption related to swap · c9e664f1
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      There is a problem that swap pages allocated before the creation of
      a hibernation image can be released and used for storing the contents
      of different memory pages while the image is being saved.  Since the
      kernel stored in the image doesn't know of that, it causes memory
      corruption to occur after resume from hibernation, especially on
      systems with relatively small RAM that need to swap often.
      
      This issue can be addressed by keeping the GFP_IOFS bits clear
      in gfp_allowed_mask during the entire hibernation, including the
      saving of the image, until the system is finally turned off or
      the hibernation is aborted.  Unfortunately, for this purpose
      it's necessary to rework the way in which the hibernate and
      suspend code manipulates gfp_allowed_mask.
      
      This change is based on an earlier patch from Hugh Dickins.

        # mount lilith:/export /mnt/lilith
        # find  /mnt/lilith/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 file
      
      crashes the machine fairly quickly under Xen.  Often it results in oops
      messages, but the couple of times I tried just now, it just hung quietly
      and made Xen print some rude messages:
      
          (XEN) mm.c:2389:d80 Bad type (saw 7400000000000001 != exp
          3000000000000000) for mfn 1d7058 (pfn 18fa7)
          (XEN) mm.c:964:d80 Attempt to create linear p.t. with write perms
          (XEN) mm.c:2389:d80 Bad type (saw 7400000000000010 != exp
          1000000000000000) for mfn 1d2e04 (pfn 1d1fb)
          (XEN) mm.c:2965:d80 Error while pinning mfn 1d2e04
      
      Which means the domain tried to map a pagetable page RW, which would
      allow it to map arbitrary memory, so Xen stopped it.  This is because
      vm_unmap_ram() left some pages mapped in the vmalloc area after NFS had
      finished with them, and those pages got recycled as pagetable pages
      while still having these RW aliases.
      
      Removing those mappings immediately removes the Xen-visible aliases, and
      so it has no problem with those pages being reused as pagetable pages.
      Deferring the TLB flush doesn't upset Xen because it can flush the TLB
      itself as needed to maintain its invariants.
      
      When unmapping a region in the vmalloc space, clear the ptes
      immediately.  There's no point in deferring this because there's no
      amortization benefit.
      
      The TLBs are left dirty, and they are flushed lazily to amortize the
      cost of the IPIs.
      
      This specific motivation for this patch is an oops-causing regression
      since 2.6.36 when using NFS under Xen, triggered by the NFS client's use
      of vm_map_ram() introduced in 56e4ebf8 ("NFS: readdir with vmapped
      pages") .  XFS also uses vm_map_ram() and could cause similar problems.

      xen: fix MSI setup and teardown for PV on HVM guests · af42b8d1
      Stefano Stabellini 提交于
      When remapping MSIs into pirqs for PV on HVM guests, qemu is responsible
      for doing the actual mapping and unmapping.
      We only give qemu the desired pirq number when we ask to do the mapping
      the first time, after that we should be reading back the pirq number
      from qemu every time we want to re-enable the MSI.
      
      This fixes a bug in xen_hvm_setup_msi_irqs that manifests itself when
      trying to enable the same MSI for the second time: the old MSI to pirq
      mapping is still valid at this point but xen_hvm_setup_msi_irqs would
      try to assign a new pirq anyway.
      A simple way to reproduce this bug is to assign an MSI capable network
      card to a PV on HVM guest, if the user brings down the corresponding
      ethernet interface and up again, Linux would fail to enable MSIs on the
      device.

      starting from nr_irqs that might very well be out of range in Xen.
      
      The symptom of this bug is that when you passthrough an MSI capable pci
      device to a PV on HVM guest, Linux would fail to enable MSIs on the
      device.

      [media] Don't export format_by_forcc on two different drivers · a757ee22
      Mauro Carvalho Chehab 提交于
      Drivers should append their name on exported symbols, to avoid
      conflicts with allyesconfig:
      
      drivers/staging/built-in.o: In function `format_by_fourcc':
      /home/v4l/work_trees/linus/drivers/staging/cx25821/cx25821-video.c:96: multiple definition of `format_by_fourcc'
      drivers/media/built-in.o:/home/v4l/work_trees/linus/drivers/media/common/saa7146_video.c:88: first defined here
      
      Let's rename both occurences with a small shellscript:
      
      for i in drivers/staging/cx25821/*.[ch]; do sed s,format_by_fourcc,cx25821_format_by_fourcc,g <$i >a && mv a $i; done
      for i in drivers/media/common/saa7146*.[ch]; do sed s,format_by_fourcc,saa7146_format_by_fourcc,g <$i >a && mv a $i; done
      for i in include/media/saa7146*.[ch]; do sed s,format_by_fourcc,saa7146_format_by_fourcc,g <$i >a && mv a $i; done

      [media] V4L: improve the BKL replacement heuristic · 879aa24d
      Hans Verkuil 提交于
      The BKL replacement mutex had some serious performance side-effects on
      V4L drivers. It is replaced by a better heuristic that works around the
      worst of the side-effects.
      
      Read the v4l2-dev.c comments for the whole sorry story. This is a
      temporary measure only until we can convert all v4l drivers to use
      unlocked_ioctl.
