2008-01-28sysctl: Infrastructure for per namespace sysctlsEric W. Biederman
This patch implements the basic infrastructure for per namespace sysctls. A list of lists of sysctl headers is added, allowing each namespace to have it's own list of sysctl headers. Each list of sysctl headers has a lookup function to find the first sysctl header in the list, allowing the lists to have a per namespace instance. register_sysct_root is added to tell sysctl.c about additional lists of sysctl_headers. As all of the users are expected to be in kernel no unregister function is provided. sysctl_head_next is updated to walk through the list of lists. __register_sysctl_paths is added to add a new sysctl table on a non-default sysctl list. The only intrusive part of this patch is propagating the information to decided which list of sysctls to use for sysctl_check_table. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2008-01-28sysctl: Remember the ctl_table we passed to register_sysctl_pathsEric W. Biederman
By doing this we allow users of register_sysctl_paths that build and dynamically allocate their ctl_table to be simpler. This allows them to just remember the ctl_table_header returned from register_sysctl_paths from which they can now find the ctl_table array they need to free. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2008-01-28sysctl: Add register_sysctl_paths functionEric W. Biederman
There are a number of modules that register a sysctl table somewhere deeply nested in the sysctl hierarchy, such as fs/nfs, fs/xfs, dev/cdrom, etc. They all specify several dummy ctl_tables for the path name. This patch implements register_sysctl_path that takes an additional path name, and makes up dummy sysctl nodes for each component. This patch was originally written by Olaf Kirch and brought to my attention and reworked some by Olaf Hering. I have changed a few additional things so the bugs are mine. After converting all of the easy callers Olaf Hering observed allyesconfig ARCH=i386, the patch reduces the final binary size by 9369 bytes. .text +897 .data -7008 text data bss dec hex filename 26959310 4045899 4718592 35723801 2211a19 ../vmlinux-vanilla 26960207 4038891 4718592 35717690 221023a ../O-allyesconfig/vmlinux So this change is both a space savings and a code simplification.

2008-01-28[DCCP]: Integrate state transitions for passive-closeGerrit Renker
This adds the necessary state transitions for the two forms of passive-close * PASSIVE_CLOSE - which is entered when a host receives a Close; * PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ - which is entered when a client receives a CloseReq. Here is a detailed account of what the patch does in each state. 1) Receiving CloseReq The pseudo-code in 8.5 says: Step 13: Process CloseReq If P.type == CloseReq and S.state < CLOSEREQ, Generate Close S.state := CLOSING Set CLOSING timer. This means we need to address what to do in CLOSED, LISTEN, REQUEST, RESPOND, PARTOPEN, and OPEN. * CLOSED: silently ignore - it may be a late or duplicate CloseReq; * LISTEN/RESPOND: will not appear, since Step 7 is performed first (we know we are the client); * REQUEST: perform Step 13 directly (no need to enqueue packet); * OPEN/PARTOPEN: enter PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ so that the application has a chance to process unread data. When already in PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ, no second CloseReq is enqueued. In any other state, the CloseReq is ignored. I think that this offers some robustness against rare and pathological cases: e.g. a simultaneous close where the client sends a Close and the server a CloseReq. The client will then be retransmitting its Close until it gets the Reset, so ignoring the CloseReq while in state CLOSING is sane. 2) Receiving Close The code below from 8.5 is unconditional. Step 14: Process Close If P.type == Close, Generate Reset(Closed) Tear down connection Drop packet and return Thus we need to consider all states: * CLOSED: silently ignore, since this can happen when a retransmitted or late Close arrives; * LISTEN: dccp_rcv_state_process() will generate a Reset ("No Connection"); * REQUEST: perform Step 14 directly (no need to enqueue packet); * RESPOND: dccp_check_req() will generate a Reset ("Packet Error") -- left it at that; * OPEN/PARTOPEN: enter PASSIVE_CLOSE so that application has a chance to process unread data; * CLOSEREQ: server performed active-close -- perform Step 14; * CLOSING: simultaneous-close: use a tie-breaker to avoid message ping-pong (see comment); * PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ: ignore - the peer has a bug (sending first a CloseReq and now a Close); * TIMEWAIT: packet is ignored. Note that the condition of receiving a packet in state CLOSED here is different from the condition "there is no socket for such a connection": the socket still exists, but its state indicates it is unusable. Last, dccp_finish_passive_close sets either DCCP_CLOSED or DCCP_CLOSING = TCP_CLOSING, so that sk_stream_wait_close() will wait for the final Reset (which will trigger CLOSING => CLOSED).

2008-01-28[DCCP]: Dedicated auxiliary states to support passive-closeGerrit Renker
This adds two auxiliary states to deal with passive closes: * PASSIVE_CLOSE (reached from OPEN via reception of Close) and * PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ (reached from OPEN via reception of CloseReq) as internal intermediate states. These states are used to allow a receiver to process unread data before acknowledging the received connection-termination-request (the Close/CloseReq). Without such support, it will happen that passively-closed sockets enter CLOSED state while there is still unprocessed data in the queue; leading to unexpected and erratic API behaviour. PASSIVE_CLOSE has been mapped into TCPF_CLOSE_WAIT, so that the code will seamlessly work with inet_accept() (which tests for this state). The state names are thanks to Arnaldo, who suggested this naming scheme following an earlier revision of this patch.

This patch includes support for the Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) per RFC4214. It uses the SIT module, and is configured using extensions to the "iproute2" utility. The diffs are specific to the Linux 2.6.24-rc2 kernel distribution. This version includes the diff for ./include/linux/if.h which was missing in the v2.4 submission and is needed to make the patch compile.

The sock_wake_async() performs a bit different actions depending on "how" argument. Unfortunately this argument ony has numerical magic values. I propose to give names to their constants to help people reading this function callers understand what's going on without looking into this function all the time. I suppose this is 2.6.25 material, but if it's not (or the naming seems poor/bad/awful), I can rework it against the current net-2.6 tree.

2008-01-28[TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing & sack_recv_cache useIlpo Järvinen
Key points of this patch are: - In case new SACK information is advance only type, no skb processing below previously discovered highest point is done - Optimize cases below highest point too since there's no need to always go up to highest point (which is very likely still present in that SACK), this is not entirely true though because I'm dropping the fastpath_skb_hint which could previously optimize those cases even better. Whether that's significant, I'm not too sure. Currently it will provide skipping by walking. Combined with RB-tree, all skipping would become fast too regardless of window size (can be done incrementally later). Previously a number of cases in TCP SACK processing fails to take advantage of costly stored information in sack_recv_cache, most importantly, expected events such as cumulative ACK and new hole ACKs. Processing on such ACKs result in rather long walks building up latencies (which easily gets nasty when window is huge). Those latencies are often completely unnecessary compared with the amount of _new_ information received, usually for cumulative ACK there's no new information at all, yet TCP walks whole queue unnecessary potentially taking a number of costly cache misses on the way, etc.! Since the inclusion of highest_sack, there's a lot information that is very likely redundant (SACK fastpath hint stuff, fackets_out, highest_sack), though there's no ultimate guarantee that they'll remain the same whole the time (in all unearthly scenarios). Take advantage of this knowledge here and drop fastpath hint and use direct access to highest SACKed skb as a replacement. Effectively "special cased" fastpath is dropped. This change adds some complexity to introduce better coveraged "fastpath", though the added complexity should make TCP behave more cache friendly. The current ACK's SACK blocks are compared against each cached block individially and only ranges that are new are then scanned by the high constant walk. For other parts of write queue, even when in previously known part of the SACK blocks, a faster skip function is used (if necessary at all). In addition, whenever possible, TCP fast-forwards to highest_sack skb that was made available by an earlier patch. In typical case, no other things but this fast-forward and mandatory markings after that occur making the access pattern quite similar to the former fastpath "special case". DSACKs are special case that must always be walked. The local to recv_sack_cache copying could be more intelligent w.r.t DSACKs which are likely to be there only once but that is left to a separate patch.

2008-01-28HID: Support Samsung IR remoteRobert Schedel
Samsung USB remotes (0419:0001) are rejected by kernel 2.6.23, because the report descriptor from the remote contains a 48 bit HID report field. HID 1.11 states: Fields may span at most 4 bytes. This patch, based on 2.6.23, fixes this by modifying the internal report descriptor in hid-quirks.c. Additional user space support (e.g. LIRC) is required to fetch the information from the hiddev interface. The burden to reconstruct the data is moved into userspace (lirc through hiddev). There is no need to set HID_QUIRK_HIDDEV quirk, as the device has also output applications, which trigger the creation of hiddev device automatically.

2008-01-28HID: add full support for Genius KB-29EJiri Kosina
Genius KB-29E has broken report descriptor, which causes some of the Consumer usages to appear incorrectly as Button usages. We fix it by fixing the report descriptor before it is being parsed. Also a few of the keys violate the HUT standard, so they need a special handling. They currently fall into "Reserved" range as per HUT 1.12.

2008-01-28HID: Implement horizontal wheel handling for A4 Tech X5-005DPavel Troller
This mouse distinguishes horizontal wheel from vertical by a special "pseudo event" GenericDesktop.00b8, with values of 0 for vertical and 8 for horizontal wheel. Because this event is supplied by the parser too late, we need to delay a wheel event, wait for this one and send either REL_WHEEL or REL_HWHEEL to input depending on the event value.

2008-01-28SG: work with the SCSI fixed maximum allocations.James Bottomley
SCSI sg table allocation has a maximum size (of SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS, currently 128) and this will cause a BUG_ON() in SCSI if something tries an allocation over it. This patch adds a size limit to the chaining allocator to allow the specification of the maximum allocation size for chaining, so we always chain in units of the maximum SCSI allocation size.

2008-01-28block: implement drain buffersJames Bottomley
These DMA drain buffer implementations in drivers are pretty horrible to do in terms of manipulating the scatterlist. Plus they're being done at least in drivers/ide and drivers/ata, so we now have code duplication. The one use case for this, as I understand it is AHCI controllers doing PIO mode to mmc devices but translating this to DMA at the controller level. So, what about adding a callback to the block layer that permits the adding of the drain buffer for the problem devices. The idea is that you'd do this in slave_configure after you find one of these devices. The beauty of doing it in the block layer is that it quietly adds the drain buffer to the end of the sg list, so it automatically gets mapped (and unmapped) without anything unusual having to be done to the scatterlist in driver/scsi or drivers/ata and without any alteration to the transfer length.

2008-01-28block: cfq: make the io contect sharing locklessJens Axboe
The io context sharing introduced a per-ioc spinlock, that would protect the cfq io context lookup. That is a regression from the original, since we never needed any locking there because the ioc/cic were process private. The cic lookup is changed from an rbtree construct to a radix tree, which we can then use RCU to make the reader side lockless. That is the performance critical path, modifying the radix tree is only done on process creation (when that process first does IO, actually) and on process exit (if that process has done IO). As it so happens, radix trees are also much faster for this type of lookup where the key is a pointer. It's a very sparse tree. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
