Andreas Herrmann bae19fe033 x86: don't call mce_create_device on CPU_UP_PREPARE
Fix regression introduced with d435d862ba
("cpu hotplug: mce: fix cpu hotplug error handling").

A CPU which was not brought up during boot (using maxcpus and
additional_cpus parameters) couldn't be onlined anymore.  For such a CPU it
seemed that MCE was not supported during CPU_UP_PREPARE-time which caused
mce_cpu_callback to return NOTIFY_BAD to notifier_call_chain.  To fix this
we:

 - call mce_create_device for CPU_ONLINE event (instead of CPU_UP_PREPARE),
 - avoid mce_remove_device() for the CPU that is not correctly initialized
   by mce_create_device() failure,
 - make mce_cpu_callback always return NOTIFY_OK for CPU_ONLINE event.
   Because CPU_ONLINE callback return value is always ignored.

Also don't do file-capabilities signaling checks when uids for the

Johannes Berg 60a0d23386 hibernate: fix lockdep report
Lockdep reports a circular locking dependency in the hibernate code
because
 - during system boot hibernate code (from an initcall) locks pm_mutex
   and then a sysfs buffer mutex via name_to_dev_t
 - during regular operation hibernate code locks pm_mutex under a
   sysfs buffer mutex because it's called from sysfs methods.

The deadlock can never happen because during initcall invocation nothing
can write to sysfs yet. This removes the lockdep report by marking the
initcall locking as being in a different class.

Russ Anderson c642b8391c __do_IRQ does not check IRQ_DISABLED when IRQ_PER_CPU is set
In __do_IRQ(), the normal case is that IRQ_DISABLED is checked and if set
the handler (handle_IRQ_event()) is not called.

Earlier in __do_IRQ(), if IRQ_PER_CPU is set the code does not check
IRQ_DISABLED and calls the handler even though IRQ_DISABLED is set.  This
behavior seems unintentional.

One user encountering this behavior is the CPE handler (in
arch/ia64/kernel/mca.c).  When the CPE handler encounters too many CPEs
(such as a solid single bit error), it sets up a polling timer and disables
the CPE interrupt (to avoid excessive overhead logging the stream of single
bit errors).  disable_irq_nosync() is called which sets IRQ_DISABLED.  The
IRQ_PER_CPU flag was previously set (in ia64_mca_late_init()).  The net
result is the CPE handler gets called even though it is marked disabled.

If the behavior of not checking IRQ_DISABLED when IRQ_PER_CPU is set is
intentional, it would be worthy of a comment describing the intended
behavior.  disable_irq_nosync() does call chip->disable() to provide a
chipset specifiec interface for disabling the interrupt, which avoids this
issue when used.

Eric W. Biederman 57d5f66b86 pidns: Place under CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
This is my trivial patch to swat innumerable little bugs with a single
blow.

After some intensive review (my apologies for not having gotten to this
sooner) what we have looks like a good base to build on with the current
pid namespace code but it is not complete, and it is still much to simple
to find issues where the kernel does the wrong thing outside of the initial
pid namespace.

Until the dust settles and we are certain we have the ABI and the
implementation is as correct as humanly possible let's keep process ID
namespaces behind CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL.

Allowing us the option of fixing any ABI or other bugs we find as long as
they are minor.

Allowing users of the kernel to avoid those bugs simply by ensuring their
kernel does not have support for multiple pid namespaces.

Arjan van de Ven cb51f973bc mark sys_open/sys_read exports unused
sys_open / sys_read were used in the early 1.2 days to load firmware from
disk inside drivers.  Since 2.0 or so this was deprecated behavior, but
several drivers still were using this.  Since a few years we have a
request_firmware() API that implements this in a nice, consistent way.
Only some old ISA sound drivers (pre-ALSA) still straggled along for some
time....  however with commit c2b1239a9f the
last user is now gone.

This is a good thing, since using sys_open / sys_read etc for firmware is a
very buggy to dangerous thing to do; these operations put an fd in the
process file descriptor table....  which then can be tampered with from
other threads for example.  For those who don't want the firmware loader,
filp_open()/vfs_read are the better APIs to use, without this security
issue.

The patch below marks sys_open and sys_read unused now that they're
really not used anymore, and for deletion in the 2.6.25 timeframe.

Christian Borntraeger 5d0360ee96 rd: fix data corruption on memory pressure
We have seen ramdisk based install systems, where some pages of mapped
libraries and programs were suddendly zeroed under memory pressure.  This
should not happen, as the ramdisk avoids freeing its pages by keeping them
dirty all the time.

It turns out that there is a case, where the VM makes a ramdisk page clean,
without telling the ramdisk driver.  On memory pressure shrink_zone runs
and it starts to run shrink_active_list.  There is a check for
buffer_heads_over_limit, and if true, pagevec_strip is called.
pagevec_strip calls try_to_release_page.  If the mapping has no releasepage
callback, try_to_free_buffers is called.  try_to_free_buffers has now a
special logic for some file systems to make a dirty page clean, if all
buffers are clean.  Thats what happened in our test case.

The simplest solution is to provide a noop-releasepage callback for the
ramdisk driver.  This avoids try_to_free_buffers for ramdisk pages.

For making it clearer what happens this patch also removes the pointless

Bjorn Helgaas e02f5f52ca serial: only use PNP IRQ if it's valid
"Luming Yu" <luming.yu@gmail.com> says:

  There is a "ttyS1 irq is -1" problem observed on tiger4 which cause the
  serial port broken.

  It is because that there is __no__ ACPI IRQ resource assigned for the
  serial port.  So the value of the IRQ for the port is never changed since it
  got initialized to -1.

If PNP supplies a valid IRQ, use it.  Otherwise, leave port.irq == 0, which
means "no IRQ" to the serial core.

Bjorn Helgaas 9626f1f117 rtc: fall back to requesting only the ports we actually use
Firmware like PNPBIOS or ACPI can report the address space consumed by the
RTC.  The actual space consumed may be less than the size (RTC_IO_EXTENT)
assumed by the RTC driver.

The PNP core doesn't request resources yet, but I'd like to make it do so.
If/when it does, the RTC_IO_EXTENT request may fail, which prevents the RTC
driver from loading.

Since we only use the RTC index and data registers at RTC_PORT(0) and
RTC_PORT(1), we can fall back to requesting just enough space for those.

If the PNP core requests resources, this results in typical I/O port usage
like this:

    0070-0073 : 00:06		<-- PNP device 00:06 responds to 70-73
      0070-0071 : rtc		<-- RTC driver uses only 70-71

instead of the current:

    0070-0077 : rtc		<-- RTC_IO_EXTENT == 8

Fengguang Wu c06a018fa5 reiserfs: don't drop PG_dirty when releasing sub-page-sized dirty file
This is not a new problem in 2.6.23-git17.  2.6.22/2.6.23 is buggy in the
same way.

Reiserfs could accumulate dirty sub-page-size files until umount time.
They cannot be synced to disk by pdflush routines or explicit `sync'
commands.  Only `umount' can do the trick.

The direct cause is: the dirty page's PG_dirty is wrongly _cleared_.
Call trace:
	 [<ffffffff8027e920>] cancel_dirty_page+0xd0/0xf0
	 [<ffffffff8816d470>] :reiserfs:reiserfs_cut_from_item+0x660/0x710

	 [<ffffffff8029fe0d>] sys_close+0xad/0x110
	 [<ffffffff8020c41e>] system_call+0x7e/0x83

Fix the bug by removing the cancel_dirty_page() call. Tests show that
it causes no bad behaviors on various write sizes.

=== for the patient ===
Here are more detailed demonstrations of the problem.

1) the page has both PG_dirty(D)/PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY(d) after being written to;
   and then only PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY(d) remains after the file is closed.

------------------------------ screen 0 ------------------------------
[T0] root /home/wfg# cat > /test/tiny
[T1] hi
[T2] root /home/wfg#

------------------------------ screen 1 ------------------------------

[T1] root /home/wfg# cat /proc/filecache
     # file /test/tiny
     # flags R:referenced A:active M:mmap U:uptodate D:dirty W:writeback O:owner B:buffer d:dirty w:writeback
     # idx   len     state   refcnt
     0       1       ___UD__Bd_      2
[T2] root /home/wfg# cat /proc/filecache
     # file /test/tiny
     # flags R:referenced A:active M:mmap U:uptodate D:dirty W:writeback O:owner B:buffer d:dirty w:writeback
     # idx   len     state   refcnt
     0       1       ___U___Bd_      2

2) note the non-zero 'cancelled_write_bytes' after /tmp/hi is copied.

------------------------------ screen 0 ------------------------------
[T0] root /home/wfg# echo hi > /tmp/hi
[T1] root /home/wfg# cp /tmp/hi /dev/stdin /test

Shannon Nelson 7bb67c14fd I/OAT: Add support for version 2 of ioatdma device
Add support for version 2 of the ioatdma device.  This device handles
the descriptor chain and DCA services slightly differently:
 - Instead of moving the dma descriptors between a busy and an idle chain,
   this new version uses a single circular chain so that we don't have
   rewrite the next_descriptor pointers as we add new requests, and the
   device doesn't need to re-read the last descriptor.
 - The new device has the DCA tags defined internally instead of needing
   them defined statically.

Dmitri Vorobiev f433dc5634 Fixes to the BFS filesystem driver
I found a few bugs in the BFS driver.  Detailed description of the bugs as
well as the steps to reproduce the errors are given in the kernel bugzilla.
 Please follow these links for more information:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9363
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9364
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9365
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9366

This patch fixes the bugs described above.  Besides, the patch introduces
coding style changes to make the BFS driver conform to the requirements
specified for Linux kernel code.  Finally, I made a few cosmetic changes
such as removal of trivial debug output.

Also, the patch removes the fields `si_lf_ioff' and `si_lf_sblk' of the
in-core superblock structure.  These fields are initialized but never
actually used.

If you are wondering why I need BFS, here is the answer: I am using this
driver in the context of Linux kernel classes I am teaching in the Moscow
State University and in the International Institute of Information
Technology in Pune, India.

Andrew Morton cfb5285660 revert "Task Control Groups: example CPU accounting subsystem"
Revert 62d0df6406.

This was originally intended as a simple initial example of how to create a
control groups subsystem; it wasn't intended for mainline, but I didn't make
this clear enough to Andrew.

The CFS cgroup subsystem now has better functionality for the per-cgroup usage
accounting (based directly on CFS stats) than the "usage" status file in this
patch, and the "load" status file is rather simplistic - although having a
per-cgroup load average report would be a useful feature, I don't believe this
patch actually provides it.  If it gets into the final 2.6.24 we'd probably
have to support this interface for ever.
