md_open takes ->reconfig_mutex which causes lockdep to complain. This (normally) doesn't have deadlock potential as the possible conflict is with a reconfig_mutex in a different device. I say "normally" because if a loop were created in the array->member hierarchy a deadlock could happen. However that causes bigger problems than a deadlock and should be fixed independently. So we flag the lock in md_open as a nested lock. This requires defining mutex_lock_interruptible_nested.

Fix the locking of signal->tty. Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current' or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway. (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules) Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access). It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing. (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info invocations) [schwidefsky@de.ibm.com: 3270 fix] [akpm@osdl.org: various post-viro fixes] Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: NAlan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: "David S.

This allows workqueue users to run just their own pending work, rather than wait for the whole workqueue to finish running. This solves the deadlock with networking libphy that was due to other workqueue entries possibly needing a lock that was held by the routine that wanted to flush its own work. It's not wonderful: if you absolutely need to synchronize with the work function having been executed, any user strictly speaking should have its own completion tracking logic, since when we run things explicitly by hand, the generic workqueue layer can no longer help us synchronize. Also, this is strictly only usable for work that has been scheduled without any delayed timers. You can not mix the new interface with schedule_delayed_work(). But it's better than what we had currently. Acked-by: NMaciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The IPMI BT subdriver has been patched to survive "long busy" timeouts seen during firmware upgrades and resets. The patch never returns the HOSED state, synthesizes response messages with meaningful completion codes, and recovers gracefully when the hardware finishes the long busy. The subdriver now issues a "Get BT Capabilities" command and properly uses those results. More informative completion codes are returned on error from transaction starts; this logic was propogated to the KCS and SMIC subdrivers. Finally, indent and other style quirks were normalized.

Some commands and operations on a BMC can cause the BMC to "go away" for a while. This can cause the automatic flag processing and other things of that nature to timeout and generate annoying logs, or possibly cause other bad things to happen when in firmware update mode. Add detection of those commands (cold reset, warm reset, and any firmware command) and turns off automatic processing for 30 seconds. It also add a manual override either way.

由 Eric Dumazet 提交于
On 32bits SMP platforms, 64bits i_size is protected by a seqcount (i_size_seqcount). When i_size is read or written, i_size_seqcount is read/written as well, so it make sense to group these two fields together in the same cache line. This patch moves i_size_seqcount next to i_size, and also moves i_version to let offsetof(struct inode, i_size) being 0x40 instead of 0x3c (for 32bits platforms). For 64 bits platforms, i_size_seqcount doesnt exist, and the move of a 'long i_version' should not introduce a new hole because of padding.

由 Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
When we are unregistering a kprobe-booster, we can't release its instruction buffer immediately on the preemptive kernel, because some processes might be preempted on the buffer. The freeze_processes() and thaw_processes() functions can clean most of processes up from the buffer. There are still some non-frozen threads who have the PF_NOFREEZE flag. If those threads are sleeping (not preempted) at the known place outside the buffer, we can ensure safety of freeing. However, the processing of this check routine takes a long time. So, this patch introduces the garbage collection mechanism of insn_slot. It also introduces the "dirty" flag to free_insn_slot because of efficiency. The "clean" instruction slots (dirty flag is cleared) are released immediately. But the "dirty" slots which are used by boosted kprobes, are marked as garbages. collect_garbage_slots() will be invoked to release "dirty" slots if there are more than INSNS_PER_PAGE garbage slots or if there are no unused slots.

Currently we allocate 64k space on the user stack and use it the msgbuf for sys_{msgrcv,msgsnd} for compat and the results are later copied in user [ by copy_in_user]. This patch introduces helper routines for sys_{msgrcv,msgsnd} as below: do_msgsnd() : Accepts the mtype and user space ptr to the buffer along with the msqid and msgflg. do_msgrcv() : Accepts a kernel space ptr to mtype and a userspace ptr to the buffer. The mtype has to be copied back the user space msgbuf by the caller. These changes avoid the need to allocate the msgsize on the userspace ( thus removing the size limt ) and the overhead of an extra copy_in_user().

Implement prof=sleep profiling. TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE sleeps will be taken as a profile hit, and every millisecond spent sleeping causes a profile-hit for the call site that initiated the sleep. Sample readprofile output on i386: 306 ps2_sendbyte 1.3973 432 call_usermodehelper_keys 1.9548 484 ps2_command 0.6453 790 __driver_attach 4.7879 1593 msleep 44.2500 3976 sync_buffer 64.1290 4076 do_lookup 12.4648 8587 sync_page 122.6714 20820 total 0.0067 (NOTE: architectures need to check whether get_wchan() can be called from deep within the wakeup path.) akpm: we need to mark more functions __sched. lock_sock(), msleep(), others.. akpm: the contention in do_lookup() is a surprise. Presumably doing disk reads for directory contents while holding i_mutex.
