01de85e057 [PATCH] Add lockless helpers for remove_suid()
Right now users have to grab i_mutex before calling remove_suid(), in the
unlikely event that a call to ->setattr() may be needed. Split up the
function in two parts:

- One to check if we need to remove suid
- One to actually remove it

The first we can call lockless.

6da6180982 [PATCH] Introduce generic_file_splice_write_nolock()
This allows file systems to manage their own i_mutex locking while
still re-using the generic_file_splice_write() logic.

OCFS2 in particular wants this so that it can order cluster locks within
i_mutex.

62752ee198 [PATCH] Take i_mutex in splice_from_pipe()
The splice_actor may be calling ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write(). We
want i_mutex on the inode being written to before calling those so that we
don't race i_size changes.

The double locking behavior is done elsewhere in splice.c, and if we
eventually want _nolock variants of generic_file_splice_write(), fs modules
might have to replicate the nasty locking code. We introduce
inode_double_lock() and inode_double_unlock() to consolidate the locking
rules into one set of functions.

ae8064ac32 [TCP]: Bound TSO defer time
This patch limits the amount of time you will defer sending a TSO segment
to less than two clock ticks, or the time between two acks, whichever is
longer.

On slow links, deferring causes significant bursts.  See attached plots,
which show RTT through a 1 Mbps link with a 100 ms RTT and ~100 ms queue
for (a) non-TSO, (b) currnet TSO, and (c) patched TSO.  This burstiness
causes significant jitter, tends to overflow queues early (bad for short
queues), and makes delay-based congestion control more difficult.

Deferring by a couple clock ticks I believe will have a relatively small
impact on performance.

6b4b78fed4 PCI: optionally sort device lists breadth-first
Problem:
New Dell PowerEdge servers have 2 embedded ethernet ports, which are
labeled NIC1 and NIC2 on the chassis, in the BIOS setup screens, and
in the printed documentation.  Assuming no other add-in ethernet ports
in the system, Linux 2.4 kernels name these eth0 and eth1
respectively.  Many people have come to expect this naming.  Linux 2.6
kernels name these eth1 and eth0 respectively (backwards from
expectations).  I also have reports that various Sun and HP servers
have similar behavior.


Root cause:
Linux 2.4 kernels walk the pci_devices list, which happens to be
sorted in breadth-first order (or pcbios_find_device order on i386,
which most often is breadth-first also).  2.6 kernels have both the
pci_devices list and the pci_bus_type.klist_devices list, the latter
is what is walked at driver load time to match the pci_id tables; this
klist happens to be in depth-first order.

On systems where, for physical routing reasons, NIC1 appears on a
lower bus number than NIC2, but NIC2's bridge is discovered first in
the depth-first ordering, NIC2 will be discovered before NIC1.  If the
list were sorted breadth-first, NIC1 would be discovered before NIC2.

A PowerEdge 1955 system has the following topology which easily
exhibits the difference between depth-first and breadth-first device
lists.

-[0000:00]-+-00.0  Intel Corporation 5000P Chipset Memory Controller Hub
           +-02.0-[0000:03-08]--+-00.0-[0000:04-07]--+-00.0-[0000:05-06]----00.0-[0000:06]----00.0  Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (labeled NIC2, 2.4 kernel name eth1, 2.6 kernel name eth0)
           +-1c.0-[0000:01-02]----00.0-[0000:02]----00.0  Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (labeled NIC1, 2.4 kernel name eth0, 2.6 kernel name eth1)


Other factors, such as device driver load order and the presence of
PCI slots at various points in the bus hierarchy further complicate
this problem; I'm not trying to solve those here, just restore the
device order, and thus basic behavior, that 2.4 kernels had.


Solution:

The solution can come in multiple steps.

Suggested fix #1: kernel
Patch below optionally sorts the two device lists into breadth-first
ordering to maintain compatibility with 2.4 kernels.  It adds two new
command line options:
  pci=bfsort
  pci=nobfsort
to force the sort order, or not, as you wish.  It also adds DMI checks
for the specific Dell systems which exhibit "backwards" ordering, to
make them "right".


Suggested fix #2: udev rules from userland
Many people also have the expectation that embedded NICs are always
discovered before add-in NICs (which this patch does not try to do).
Using the PCI IRQ Routing Table provided by system BIOS, it's easy to
determine which PCI devices are embedded, or if add-in, which PCI slot
they're in.  I'm working on a tool that would allow udev to name
ethernet devices in ascending embedded, slot 1 .. slot N order,
subsort by PCI bus/dev/fn breadth-first.  It'll be possible to use it
independent of udev as well for those distributions that don't use
udev in their installers.

Suggested fix #3: system board routing rules
One can constrain the system board layout to put NIC1 ahead of NIC2
regardless of breadth-first or depth-first discovery order.  This adds
a significant level of complexity to board routing, and may not be
possible in all instances (witness the above systems from several
major manufacturers).  I don't want to encourage this particular train
of thought too far, at the expense of not doing #1 or #2 above.


Feedback appreciated.  Patch tested on a Dell PowerEdge 1955 blade
with 2.6.18.

You'll also note I took some liberty and temporarily break the klist
abstraction to simplify and speed up the sort algorithm.  I think
that's both safe and appropriate in this instance.

58ff407bee [PATCH] Fix IO error reporting on fsync()
When IO error happens on metadata buffer, buffer is freed from memory and
later fsync() is called, filesystems like ext2 fail to report EIO.  We

solve the problem by introducing a pointer to associated address space into
the buffer_head.  When a buffer is removed from a list of metadata buffers
associated with an address space, IO error is transferred from the buffer to
the address space, so that fsync can later report it.

d343fce148 [PATCH] knfsd: Allow lockd to drop replies as appropriate
It is possible for the ->fopen callback from lockd into nfsd to find that an
answer cannot be given straight away (an upcall is needed) and so the request
has to be 'dropped', to be retried later.  That error status is not currently
propagated back.

So:
  Change nlm_fopen to return nlm error codes (rather than a private
  protocol) and define a new nlm_drop_reply code.
  Cause nlm_drop_reply to cause the rpc request to get rpc_drop_reply
  when this error comes back.
  Cause svc_process to drop a request which returns a status of
  rpc_drop_reply.

d7a76e4cb3 ACPI: consolidate functions in acpi ec driver
Unify the following functions:

    acpi_ec_poll_read()
    acpi_ec_poll_write()
    acpi_ec_poll_query()
    acpi_ec_intr_read()
    acpi_ec_intr_write()
    acpi_ec_intr_query()

into:

    acpi_ec_poll_transaction()
    acpi_ec_intr_transaction()

These new functions take as arguments an ACPI EC command, a few bytes
to write to the EC data register and a buffer for a few bytes to read
from the EC data register. The old _read(), _write(), _query() are
just special cases of these functions.

Then unified the code in acpi_ec_poll_transaction() and
acpi_ec_intr_transaction() a little more. Both functions are now just
wrappers around the new acpi_ec_transaction_unlocked() function. The
latter contains the EC access logic, the two original
function now just do their special way of locking and call the the
new function for the actual work.

This saves a lot of very similar code. The primary reason for doing
this, however, is that my driver for MSI 270 laptops needs to issue
some non-standard EC commands in a safe way. Due to this I added a new
exported function similar to ec_write()/ec_write() which is called
ec_transaction() and is essentially just a wrapper around
acpi_ec_{poll,intr}_transaction().

5b368e61c2 IPsec: correct semantics for SELinux policy matching
Currently when an IPSec policy rule doesn't specify a security
context, it is assumed to be "unlabeled" by SELinux, and so
the IPSec policy rule fails to match to a flow that it would
otherwise match to, unless one has explicitly added an SELinux
policy rule allowing the flow to "polmatch" to the "unlabeled"
IPSec policy rules. In the absence of such an explicitly added
SELinux policy rule, the IPSec policy rule fails to match and
so the packet(s) flow in clear text without the otherwise applicable
xfrm(s) applied.

The above SELinux behavior violates the SELinux security notion of
"deny by default" which should actually translate to "encrypt by
default" in the above case.

This was first reported by Evgeniy Polyakov and the way James Morris
was seeing the problem was when connecting via IPsec to a
confined service on an SELinux box (vsftpd), which did not have the
appropriate SELinux policy permissions to send packets via IPsec.

With this patch applied, SELinux "polmatching" of flows Vs. IPSec
policy rules will only come into play when there's a explicit context
specified for the IPSec policy rule (which also means there's corresponding
SELinux policy allowing appropriate domains/flows to polmatch to this context).

Secondly, when a security module is loaded (in this case, SELinux), the
security_xfrm_policy_lookup() hook can return errors other than access denied,
such as -EINVAL.  We were not handling that correctly, and in fact
inverting the return logic and propagating a false "ok" back up to
xfrm_lookup(), which then allowed packets to pass as if they were not
associated with an xfrm policy.

The solution for this is to first ensure that errno values are
correctly propagated all the way back up through the various call chains
from security_xfrm_policy_lookup(), and handled correctly.

Then, flow_cache_lookup() is modified, so that if the policy resolver
fails (typically a permission denied via the security module), the flow
cache entry is killed rather than having a null policy assigned (which
indicates that the packet can pass freely).  This also forces any future
lookups for the same flow to consult the security module (e.g. SELinux)
for current security policy (rather than, say, caching the error on the
flow cache entry).

This patch: Fix the selinux side of things.

This makes sure SELinux polmatching of flow contexts to IPSec policy
rules comes into play only when an explicit context is associated
with the IPSec policy rule.

Also, this no longer defaults the context of a socket policy to
the context of the socket since the "no explicit context" case
is now handled properly.

c636ebdb18 [PATCH] VFS: Destroy the dentries contributed by a superblock on unmounting
The attached patch destroys all the dentries attached to a superblock in one go
by:

 (1) Destroying the tree rooted at s_root.

 (2) Destroying every entry in the anon list, one at a time.

 (3) Each entry in the anon list has its subtree consumed from the leaves
     inwards.

This reduces the amount of work generic_shutdown_super() does, and avoids
iterating through the dentry_unused list.

Note that locking is almost entirely absent in the shrink_dcache_for_umount*()
functions added by this patch.  This is because:

 (1) at the point the filesystem calls generic_shutdown_super(), it is not
     permitted to further touch the superblock's set of dentries, and nor may
     it remove aliases from inodes;

 (2) the dcache memory shrinker now skips dentries that are being unmounted;
     and

 (3) the superblock no longer has any external references through which the VFS
     can reach it.

Given these points, the only locking we need to do is when we remove dentries
from the unused list and the name hashes, which we do a directory's worth at a
time.

We also don't need to guard against reference counts going to zero unexpectedly
and removing bits of the tree we're working on as nothing else can call dput().

A cut down version of dentry_iput() has been folded into
shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree() function.  Apart from not needing to unlock
things, it also doesn't need to check for inotify watches.

In this version of the patch, the complaint about a dentry still being in use
has been expanded from a single BUG_ON() and now gives much more information.

01a3ee2b20 [PATCH] bitmap: parse input from kernel and user buffers
lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a
user buffer.  This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc
function of the /proc filesystem operates.

This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of
get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user().

We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the
buffer differently.  We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses
in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for
kernel and user.

This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking
input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel
buffers.  We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the
upcoming bandwidth allocator code.

Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.

39484e53bb [PATCH] 32-bit compatibility HDIO IOCTLs
A couple of HDIO IOCTLs are not yet handled and a few others are marked
as using a pointer rather than an unsigned long.  The formers include:

HDIO_GET_WCACHE, HDIO_GET_ACOUSTIC, HDIO_GET_ADDRESS and
HDIO_GET_BUSSTATE.  The latters are: HDIO_SET_MULTCOUNT,
HDIO_SET_UNMASKINTR, HDIO_SET_KEEPSETTINGS, HDIO_SET_32BIT,
HDIO_SET_NOWERR, HDIO_SET_DMA, HDIO_SET_PIO_MODE and HDIO_SET_NICE.

Additionally 0x330 used to be HDIO_GETGEO_BIG and may be issued by 32-bit
`hdparm' run on a 64-bit kernel making Linux complain loudly.

This is a fix for these issues.

fa3ba2e81e [PATCH] fix Module taint flags listing in Oops/panic
Module taint flags listing in Oops/panic has a couple of issues:

* taint_flags() doesn't null-terminate the buffer after printing the flags

* per-module taints are only set if the kernel is not already tainted
  (with that particular flag) => only the first offending module gets its
  taint info correctly updated

Some additional changes:

* 'license_gplok' is no longer needed - equivalent to !(taints &
  TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE) - so we can drop it from struct module *
  exporting module taint info via /proc/module:

pwc 88576 0 - Live 0xf8c32000
evilmod 6784 1 pwc, Live 0xf8bbf000 (PF)

e0ab2928cc [PATCH] Add carta_random32() library routine
This is a follow-up patch based on the review for perfmon2.  This patch
adds the carta_random32() library routine + carta_random32.h header file.

This is fast, simple, and efficient pseudo number generator algorithm.  We
use it in perfmon2 to randomize the sampling periods.  In this context, we
do not need any fancy randomizer.

b611967de4 [PATCH] epoll_pwait()
Implement the epoll_pwait system call, that extend the event wait mechanism
with the same logic ppoll and pselect do.  The definition of epoll_pwait
is:

int epoll_pwait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents,
                 int timeout, const sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sigsetsize);

The difference between the vanilla epoll_wait and epoll_pwait is that the
latter allows the caller to specify a signal mask to be set while waiting
for events.  Hence epoll_pwait will wait until either one monitored event,
or an unmasked signal happen.  If sigmask is NULL, the epoll_pwait system
call will act exactly like epoll_wait.  For the POSIX definition of
pselect, information is available here:

659564c8ad [PATCH] Introduce vfs_listxattr
This patch moves code out of fs/xattr.c:listxattr into a new function -
vfs_listxattr. The code for vfs_listxattr was originally submitted by Bill
Nottingham <notting@redhat.com> to Unionfs.

Sorry about that.  The reason for this submission is to make the
listxattr code in fs/xattr.c a little cleaner (as well as to clean up
some code in Unionfs.)

Currently, Unionfs has vfs_listxattr defined in its code.  I think
that's very ugly, and I'd like to see it (re)moved.  The logical place
to put it, is along side of all the other vfs_*xattr functions.

Overall, I think this patch is benefitial for both kernel.org kernel and
Unionfs.

c6b0a9f87b [PATCH] knfsd: tidy up up meaning of 'buffer size' in nfsd/sunrpc
There is some confusion about the meaning of 'bufsz' for a sunrpc server.
In some cases it is the largest message that can be sent or received.  In
other cases it is the largest 'payload' that can be included in a NFS
message.

In either case, it is not possible for both the request and the reply to be
this large.  One of the request or reply may only be one page long, which
fits nicely with NFS.

So we remove 'bufsz' and replace it with two numbers: 'max_payload' and
'max_mesg'.  Max_payload is the size that the server requests.  It is used
by the server to check the max size allowed on a particular connection:
depending on the protocol a lower limit might be used.

max_mesg is the largest single message that can be sent or received.  It is
calculated as the max_payload, rounded up to a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, and
with PAGE_SIZE added to overhead.  Only one of the request and reply may be
this size.  The other must be at most one page.

7f7bbbe50b [PATCH] page fault retry with NOPAGE_REFAULT
Add a way for a no_page() handler to request a retry of the faulting
instruction.  It goes back to userland on page faults and just tries again
in get_user_pages().  I added a cond_resched() in the loop in that later
case.

The problem I have with signal and spufs is an actual bug affecting apps and I
don't see other ways of fixing it.

In addition, we are having issues with infiniband and 64k pages (related to
the way the hypervisor deals with some HV cards) that will require us to muck
around with the MMU from within the IB driver's no_page() (it's a pSeries
specific driver) and return to the caller the same way using NOPAGE_REFAULT.

And to add to this, the graphics folks have been following a new approach of
memory management that involves transparently swapping objects between video
ram and main meory.  To do that, they need installing PTEs from a no_page()
handler as well and that also requires returning with NOPAGE_REFAULT.

(For the later, they are currently using io_remap_pfn_range to install one PTE
from no_page() which is a bit racy, we need to add a check for the PTE having
already been installed afer taking the lock, but that's ok, they are only at
the proof-of-concept stage.  I'll send a patch adding a "clean" function to do
that, we can use that from spufs too and get rid of the sparsemem hacks we do
to create struct page for SPEs.  Basically, that provides a generic solution
for being able to have no_page() map hardware devices, which is something that
I think sound driver folks have been asking for some time too).

All of these things depend on having the NOPAGE_REFAULT exit path from
no_page() handlers.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

Kill a hard-to-calculate 'rsinterval' boot parameter and per-cpu
rcu_data.last_rs_qlen.  Instead, it adds adds a flag rcu_ctrlblk.signaled,
which records the fact that one of CPUs has sent a resched IPI since the
last rcu_start_batch().

Roughly speaking, we need two rcu_start_batch()s in order to move callbacks
from ->nxtlist to ->donelist.  This means that when ->qlen exceeds qhimark
and continues to grow, we should send a resched IPI, and then do it again
after we gone through a quiescent state.

On the other hand, if it was already sent, we don't need to do it again
when another CPU detects overflow of the queue.

e6a92013ba [PATCH] SRCU: report out-of-memory errors
Currently the init_srcu_struct() routine has no way to report out-of-memory
errors.  This patch (as761) makes it return -ENOMEM when the per-cpu data
allocation fails.

The patch also makes srcu_init_notifier_head() report a BUG if a notifier
head can't be initialized.  Perhaps it should return -ENOMEM instead, but
in the most likely cases where this might occur I don't think any recovery
is possible.  Notifier chains generally are not created dynamically.

eabc069401 [PATCH] Add SRCU-based notifier chains
This patch (as751) adds a new type of notifier chain, based on the SRCU
(Sleepable Read-Copy Update) primitives recently added to the kernel.  An
SRCU notifier chain is much like a blocking notifier chain, in that it must
be called in process context and its callout routines are allowed to sleep.
 The difference is that the chain's links are protected by the SRCU
mechanism rather than by an rw-semaphore, so calling the chain has
extremely low overhead: no memory barriers and no cache-line bouncing.  On
the other hand, unregistering from the chain is expensive and the chain
head requires special runtime initialization (plus cleanup if it is to be
deallocated).

SRCU notifiers are appropriate for notifiers that will be called very
frequently and for which unregistration occurs very seldom.  The proposed
"task notifier" scheme qualifies, as may some of the network notifiers.

621934ee7e [PATCH] srcu-3: RCU variant permitting read-side blocking
Updated patch adding a variant of RCU that permits sleeping in read-side
critical sections.  SRCU is as follows:

o	Each use of SRCU creates its own srcu_struct, and each
	srcu_struct has its own set of grace periods.  This is
	critical, as it prevents one subsystem with a blocking
	reader from holding up SRCU grace periods for other
	subsystems.

o	The SRCU primitives (srcu_read_lock(), srcu_read_unlock(),
	and synchronize_srcu()) all take a pointer to a srcu_struct.

o	The SRCU primitives must be called from process context.

o	srcu_read_lock() returns an int that must be passed to
	the matching srcu_read_unlock().  Realtime RCU avoids the
	need for this by storing the state in the task struct,
	but SRCU needs to allow a given code path to pass through
	multiple SRCU domains -- storing state in the task struct
	would therefore require either arbitrary space in the
	task struct or arbitrary limits on SRCU nesting.  So I
	kicked the state-storage problem up to the caller.

	Of course, it is not permitted to call synchronize_srcu()
	while in an SRCU read-side critical section.

o	There is no call_srcu().  It would not be hard to implement
	one, but it seems like too easy a way to OOM the system.
	(Hey, we have enough trouble with call_rcu(), which does
	-not- permit readers to sleep!!!)  So, if you want it,
	please tell me why...

For simple architectures those functions can do all of the work.  For
architectures with platform dependencies they can call into the appropriate
platform code.

With this msi.c is finally free of assuming you have an apic, and this
actually takes less code.

The helpers for the architecture specific code are declared in the linux/msi.h
to keep them separate from the msi functions used by drivers in linux/pci.h
