      usermodehelper: Tidy up waiting · 86313c48
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Rather than using a tri-state integer for the wait flag in
      call_usermodehelper_exec, define a proper enum, and use that.  I've
      preserved the integer values so that any callers I've missed should
      still work OK.

      Add common orderly_poweroff() · 10a0a8d4
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Various pieces of code around the kernel want to be able to trigger an
      orderly poweroff.  This pulls them together into a single
      implementation.
      
      By default the poweroff command is /sbin/poweroff, but it can be set
      via sysctl: kernel/poweroff_cmd.  This is split at whitespace, so it
      can include command-line arguments.
      
      This patch replaces four other instances of invoking either "poweroff"
      or "shutdown -h now": two sbus drivers, and acpi thermal
      management.
      
      sparc64 has its own "powerd"; still need to determine whether it should
      be replaced by orderly_poweroff().

      usermodehelper: split setup from execution · 0ab4dc92
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Rather than having hundreds of variations of call_usermodehelper for
      various pieces of usermode state which could be set up, split the
      info allocation and initialization from the actual process execution.
      
      This means the general pattern becomes:
       info = call_usermodehelper_setup(path, argv, envp); /* basic state */
       call_usermodehelper_<SET EXTRA STATE>(info, stuff...);	/* extra state */
       call_usermodehelper_exec(info, wait);	/* run process and free info */
      
      This patch introduces wrappers for all the existing calling styles for
      call_usermodehelper_*, but folds their implementations into one.

      kernel/auditfilter: kill bogus uninit'd-var compiler warning · 6f686d3d
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      Kill this warning...
      
      kernel/auditfilter.c: In function ‘audit_receive_filter’:
      kernel/auditfilter.c:1213: warning: ‘ndw’ may be used uninitialized in this function
      kernel/auditfilter.c:1213: warning: ‘ndp’ may be used uninitialized in this function
      
      ...with a simplification of the code.  audit_put_nd() can accept NULL
      arguments, just like kfree().  It is cleaner to init two existing vars
      to NULL, remove the redundant test variable 'putnd_needed' branches, and call
      audit_put_nd() directly.
      
      As a desired side effect, the warning goes away.

      destroy_workqueue() can livelock · 13c22168
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      Pointed out by Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com>.
      
      The bug was introduced in 2.6.22 by me.
      
      cleanup_workqueue_thread() does flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) in a loop until
      ->worklist becomes empty.  This is live-lockable, a re-niced caller can get
      CPU after wake_up() and insert a new barrier before the lower-priority
      cwq->thread has a chance to clear ->current_work.
      
      Change cleanup_workqueue_thread() to do flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) only once.
       We can rely on the fact that run_workqueue() won't return until it flushes
      all works.  So it is safe to call kthread_stop() after that, the "should
      stop" request won't be noticed until run_workqueue() returns.

      kallsyms: make KSYM_NAME_LEN include space for trailing '\0' · 9281acea
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
      trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
      buffer.  This is nonsense and error-prone.  Moreover, when the caller
      forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
      because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.
      
      This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.
      
      * off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro
        is fixed.
      
      * Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,
        MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the
        trailing '\0'.  Fix it.
