      nl80211: allow splitting wiphy information in dumps · 3713b4e3
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      The per-wiphy information is getting large, to the point
      where with more than the typical number of channels it's
      too large and overflows, and userspace can't get any of
      the information at all.
      
      To address this (in a way that doesn't require making all
      messages bigger) allow userspace to specify that it can
      deal with wiphy information split across multiple parts
      of the dump, and if it can split up the data. This also
      splits up each channel separately so an arbitrary number
      of channels can be supported.
      
      Additionally, since GET_WIPHY has the same problem, add
      support for filtering the wiphy dump and get information
      for a single wiphy only, this allows userspace apps to
      use dump in this case to retrieve all data from a single
      device.
      
      As userspace needs to know if all this this is supported,
      add a global nl80211 feature set and include a bit for
      this behaviour in it.

      cfg80211: comprehensively check station changes · 77ee7c89
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      The station change API isn't being checked properly before
      drivers are called, and as a result it is difficult to see
      what should be allowed and what not.
      
      In order to comprehensively check the API parameters parse
      everything first, and then have the driver call a function
      (cfg80211_check_station_change()) with the additionally
      information about the kind of station that is being changed;
      this allows the function to make better decisions than the
      old code could.
      
      While at it, also add a few checks, particularly in mesh
      and clarify the TDLS station lifetime in documentation.
      
      To be able to reduce a few checks, ignore any flag set bits
      when the mask isn't set, they shouldn't be applied then.

      metag: ptrace · bc3966bf
      James Hogan 提交于
      The ptrace interface for metag provides access to some core register
      sets using the PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET operations. The
      details of the internal context structures is abstracted into user API
      structures to both ease use and allow flexibility to change the internal
      context layouts. Copyin and copyout functions for these register sets
      are exposed to allow signal handling code to use them to copy to and
      from the signal context.
      
      struct user_gp_regs (NT_PRSTATUS) provides access to the core general
      purpose register context.
      
      struct user_cb_regs (NT_METAG_CBUF) provides access to the TXCATCH*
      registers which contains information abuot a memory fault, unaligned
      access error or watchpoint. This can be modified to alter the way the
      fault is replayed on resume ("catch replay"), or to prevent the replay
      taking place.
      
      struct user_rp_state (NT_METAG_RPIPE) provides access to the state of
      the Meta read pipeline which can be used to hide memory latencies in
      hand optimised data loops.
      
      Extended DSP register state, DSP RAM, and hardware breakpoint registers
      aren't yet exposed through ptrace.

      dm ioctl: allow message to return data · a2606241
      Mikulas Patocka 提交于
      This patch introduces enhanced message support that allows the
      device-mapper core to recognise messages that are common to all devices,
      and for messages to return data to userspace.
      
      Core messages are processed by the function "message_for_md".  If the
      device mapper doesn't support the message, it is passed to the target
      driver.
      
      If the message returns data, the kernel sets the flag
      DM_MESSAGE_OUT_FLAG.

      dm ioctl: optimize functions without variable params · 02cde50b
      Mikulas Patocka 提交于
      Device-mapper ioctls receive and send data in a buffer supplied
      by userspace.  The buffer has two parts.  The first part contains
      a 'struct dm_ioctl' and has a fixed size.  The second part depends
      on the ioctl and has a variable size.
      
      This patch recognises the specific ioctls that do not use the variable
      part of the buffer and skips allocating memory for it.
      
      In particular, when a device is suspended and a resume ioctl is sent,
      this now avoid memory allocation completely.
      
      The variable "struct dm_ioctl tmp" is moved from the function
      copy_params to its caller ctl_ioctl and renamed to param_kernel.
      It is used directly when the ioctl function doesn't need any arguments.

      nbd: support FLUSH requests · 75f187ab
      Alex Bligh 提交于
      Currently, the NBD device does not accept flush requests from the Linux
      block layer.  If the NBD server opened the target with neither O_SYNC nor
      O_DSYNC, however, the device will be effectively backed by a writeback
      cache.  Without issuing flushes properly, operation of the NBD device will
      not be safe against power losses.
      
      The NBD protocol has support for both a cache flush command and a FUA
      command flag; the server will also pass a flag to note its support for
      these features.  This patch adds support for the cache flush command and
      flag.  In the kernel, we receive the flags via the NBD_SET_FLAGS ioctl,
      and map NBD_FLAG_SEND_FLUSH to the argument of blk_queue_flush.  When the
      flag is active the block layer will send REQ_FLUSH requests, which we
      translate to NBD_CMD_FLUSH commands.
      
      FUA support is not included in this patch because all free software
      servers implement it with a full fdatasync; thus it has no advantage over
      supporting flush only.  Because I [Paolo] cannot really benchmark it in a
      realistic scenario, I cannot tell if it is a good idea or not.  It is also
      not clear if it is valid for an NBD server to support FUA but not flush.
      The Linux block layer gives a warning for this combination, the NBD
      protocol documentation says nothing about it.
      
      The patch also fixes a small problem in the handling of flags: nbd->flags
      must be cleared at the end of NBD_DO_IT, but the driver was not doing
      that.  The bug manifests itself as follows.  Suppose you two different
      client/server pairs to start the NBD device.  Suppose also that the first
      client supports NBD_SET_FLAGS, and the first server sends
      NBD_FLAG_SEND_FLUSH; the second pair instead does neither of these two
      things.  Before this patch, the second invocation of NBD_DO_IT will use a
      stale value of nbd->flags, and the second server will issue an error every
      time it receives an NBD_CMD_FLUSH command.
      
      This bug is pre-existing, but it becomes much more important after this
      patch; flush failures make the device pretty much unusable, unlike

      fat: mark fs as dirty on mount and clean on umount · b88a1058
      Oleksij Rempel 提交于
      There is no documented methods to mark FAT as dirty.  Unofficially MS
      started to use reserved Byte in boot sector for this purpose, at least
      since Win 2000.  With Win 7 user is warned if fs is dirty and asked to
      clean it.
      
      Different versions of Win, handle it in different ways, but always have
      same meaning:
      
      - Win 2000 and XP, set it on write operations and
        remove it after operation was finnished
      - Win 7, set dirty flag on first write and remove it on umount.
      
      We will do it as follows:
      
      - set dirty flag on mount. If fs was initially dirty, warn user,
        remember it and do not do any changes to boot sector.
      - clean it on umount. If fs was initially dirty, leave it dirty.
      - do not do any thing if fs mounted read-only.
      - TODO: leave fs dirty if we found some error after mount.

      hfsplus: add osx.* prefix for handling namespace of Mac OS X extended attributes · 5841ca09
      Vyacheslav Dubeyko 提交于
      hfsplus: reworked support of extended attributes.
      
      Current mainline implementation of hfsplus file system driver treats as
      extended attributes only two fields (fdType and fdCreator) of user_info
      field in file description record (struct hfsplus_cat_file).  It is
      possible to get or set only these two fields as extended attributes.
      But HFS+ treats as com.apple.FinderInfo extended attribute an union of
      user_info and finder_info fields as for file (struct hfsplus_cat_file)
      as for folder (struct hfsplus_cat_folder).  Moreover, current mainline
      implementation of hfsplus file system driver doesn't support special
      metadata file - attributes tree.
      
      Mac OS X 10.4 and later support extended attributes by making use of the
      HFS+ filesystem Attributes file B*-tree feature which allows for named
      forks.  Mac OS X supports only inline extended attributes, limiting
      their size to 3802 bytes.  Any regular file may have a list of extended
      attributes.  HFS+ supports an arbitrary number of named forks.  Each
      attribute is denoted by a name and the associated data.  The name is a
      null-terminated Unicode string.  It is possible to list, to get, to set,
      and to remove extended attributes from files or directories.
      
      It exists some peculiarity during getting of extended attributes list by
      means of getfattr utility.  The getfattr utility expects prefix "user."
      before any extended attribute's name.  So, it ignores any names that
      don't contained such prefix.  Such behavior of getfattr utility results
      in unexpected empty output of extended attributes list even in the case
      when file (or folder) contains extended attributes.  It needs to use
      empty string as regular expression pattern for names matching (getfattr
      --match="").
      
      For support of extended attributes in HFS+:
      1. It was added necessary on-disk layout declarations related to Attributes
         tree into hfsplus_raw.h file.
      2. It was added attributes.c file with implementation of functionality of
         manipulation by records in Attributes tree.
      3. It was reworked hfsplus_listxattr, hfsplus_getxattr, hfsplus_setxattr
         functions in ioctl.c. Moreover, it was added hfsplus_removexattr method.
      
      This patch:
      
      Add osx.* prefix for handling namespace of Mac OS X extended attributes.

      VSOCK: Introduce VM Sockets · d021c344
      Andy King 提交于
      VM Sockets allows communication between virtual machines and the hypervisor.
      User level applications both in a virtual machine and on the host can use the
      VM Sockets API, which facilitates fast and efficient communication between
      guest virtual machines and their host.  A socket address family, designed to be
      compatible with UDP and TCP at the interface level, is provided.
      
      Today, VM Sockets is used by various VMware Tools components inside the guest
      for zero-config, network-less access to VMware host services.  In addition to
      this, VMware's users are using VM Sockets for various applications, where
      network access of the virtual machine is restricted or non-existent.  Examples
      of this are VMs communicating with device proxies for proprietary hardware
      running as host applications and automated testing of applications running
      within virtual machines.
      
      The VMware VM Sockets are similar to other socket types, like Berkeley UNIX
      socket interface.  The VM Sockets module supports both connection-oriented
      stream sockets like TCP, and connectionless datagram sockets like UDP. The VM
      Sockets protocol family is defined as "AF_VSOCK" and the socket operations
      split for SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_STREAM.
      
      For additional information about the use of VM Sockets, please refer to the
      VM Sockets Programming Guide available at:

      unbreak automounter support on 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userspace (v2) · 4f4ffc3a
      Helge Deller 提交于
      automount-support is broken on the parisc architecture, because the existing
      #if list does not include a check for defined(__hppa__). The HPPA (parisc)
      architecture is similiar to other 64bit Linux targets where we have to define
      autofs_wqt_t (which is passed back and forth to user space) as int type which
      has a size of 32bit across 32 and 64bit kernels.
      
      During the discussion on the mailing list, H. Peter Anvin suggested to invert
      the #if list since only specific platforms (specifically those who do not have
      a 32bit userspace, like IA64 and Alpha) should have autofs_wqt_t as unsigned
      long type.
      
      This suggestion is probably the best way to go, since Arm64 (and maybe others?)
      seems to have a non-working automounter. So in the long run even for other new
      upcoming architectures this inverted check seem to be the best solution, since
      it will not require them to change this #if again (unless they are 64bit only).

      fuse: allow control of adaptive readdirplus use · 634734b6
      Eric Wong 提交于
      For some filesystems (e.g. GlusterFS), the cost of performing a
      normal readdir and readdirplus are identical.  Since adaptively
      using readdirplus has no benefit for those systems, give
      users/filesystems the option to control adaptive readdirplus use.
      
      v2 of this patch incorporates Miklos's suggestion to simplify the code,
      as well as improving consistency of macro names and documentation.
