2007-05-29NOHZ: prevent multiplication overflow - stop timer for huge timeoutsThomas Gleixner
get_next_timer_interrupt() returns a delta of (LONG_MAX > 1) in case there is no timer pending. On 64 bit machines this results in a multiplication overflow in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(). Reported by: Dave Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Make the return value a constant and limit the return value to a 32 bit value. When the max timeout value is returned, we can safely stop the tick timer device. The max jiffies delta results in a 12 days timeout for HZ=1000. In the long term the get_next_timer_interrupt() code needs to be reworked to return ktime instead of jiffies, but we have to wait until the last users of the original NO_IDLE_HZ code are converted.

2007-05-24[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_ftp: fix newline sequence number calculationPatrick McHardy
When the packet size is changed by the FTP NAT helper, the connection tracking helper adjusts the sequence number of the newline character by the size difference. This is wrong because NAT sequence number adjustment happens after helpers are called, so the unadjusted number is compared to the already adjusted one.

2007-05-24NFS: Avoid a deadlock situation on writeTrond Myklebust
When processes are allowed to attempt to lock a non-contiguous range of nfs write requests, it is possible for generic_writepages to 'wrap round' the address space, and call writepage() on a request that is already locked by the same process. We avoid the deadlock by checking if the page index is contiguous with the list of nfs write requests that is already held in our nfs_pageio_descriptor prior to attempting to lock a new request.

2007-05-23recalc_sigpending_tsk fixesRoland McGrath
Steve Hawkes discovered a problem where recalc_sigpending_tsk was called in do_sigaction but no signal_wake_up call was made, preventing later signals from waking up blocked threads with TIF_SIGPENDING already set. In fact, the few other calls to recalc_sigpending_tsk outside the signals code are also subject to this problem in other race conditions. This change makes recalc_sigpending_tsk private to the signals code. It changes the outside calls, as well as do_sigaction, to use the new recalc_sigpending_and_wake instead.

This patch fixes the race pointed out by Oleg Nesterov. * Freezer marks a thread as freezeable. * The thread now marks itself PF_NOFREEZE, but it will be frozen on on calling try_to_freeze(). Thus the task is frozen, even though it doesn't want to. * Subsequent thaw_processes() will also fail to thaw the task since it is marked PF_NOFREEZE. Avoid this problem by checking the task's PF_NOFREEZE status in frozen_processes() before marking the task as frozen. Signed-off-by: Gautham R Shenoy <ego@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2007-05-23freezer: fix vfork problemRafael J. Wysocki
Currently try_to_freeze_tasks() has to wait until all of the vforked processes exit and for this reason every user can make it fail. To fix this problem we can introduce the additional process flag PF_FREEZER_SKIP to be used by tasks that do not want to be counted as freezable by the freezer and want to have TIF_FREEZE set nevertheless. Then, this flag can be set by tasks using sys_vfork() before they call wait_for_completion(&vfork) and cleared after they have woken up. After clearing it, the tasks should call try_to_freeze() as soon as possible. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2007-05-23freezer: close potential race between refrigerator and thaw_tasksRafael J. Wysocki
If the freezing of tasks fails and a task is preempted in refrigerator() before calling frozen_process(), then thaw_tasks() may run before this task is frozen. In that case the task will freeze and no one will thaw it. To fix this race we can call freezing(current) in refrigerator() along with frozen_process(current) under the task_lock() which also should be taken in the error path of try_to_freeze_tasks() as well as in thaw_process(). Moreover, if thaw_process() additionally clears TIF_FREEZE for tasks that are not frozen, we can be sure that all tasks are thawed and there are no pending "freeze" requests after thaw_tasks() has run.

2007-05-21Detach sched.h from mm.hAlexey Dobriyan
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock() mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why. This patch a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly. e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were getting them indirectly Net result is: a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if they don't need sched.h b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files: on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files, after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

2007-05-17Slab allocators: define common size limitationsChristoph Lameter
Currently we have a maze of configuration variables that determine the maximum slab size. Worst of all it seems to vary between SLAB and SLUB. So define a common maximum size for kmalloc. For conveniences sake we use the maximum size ever supported which is 32 MB. We limit the maximum size to a lower limit if MAX_ORDER does not allow such large allocations. For many architectures this patch will have the effect of adding large kmalloc sizes. x86_64 adds 5 new kmalloc sizes. So a small amount of memory will be needed for these caches (contemporary SLAB has dynamically sizeable node and cpu structure so the waste is less than in the past) Most architectures will then be able to allocate object with sizes up to MAX_ORDER. We have had repeated breakage (in fact whenever we doubled the number of supported processors) on IA64 because one or the other struct grew beyond what the slab allocators supported. This will avoid future issues and f.e. avoid fixes for 2k and 4k cpu support. CONFIG_LARGE_ALLOCS is no longer necessary so drop it. It fixes sparc64 with SLAB.

There is no user of destructors left. There is no reason why we should keep checking for destructors calls in the slab allocators. The RFC for this patch was discussed at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=117882364330705&w=2 Destructors were mainly used for list management which required them to take a spinlock. Taking a spinlock in a destructor is a bit risky since the slab allocators may run the destructors anytime they decide a slab is no longer needed. Patch drops destructor support. Any attempt to use a destructor will BUG().

Sorry I screwed up the comparison. It is only an error if we attempt to allocate a slab larger than the maximum allowed size. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-05-16libata: track spindown status and skip spindown_compat if possibleTejun Heo
Our assumption that most distros issue STANDBYNOW seems wrong. The upstream sysvinit and thus many distros including gentoo and opensuse don't take any action for libata disks on spindown. We can skip compat handling for these distros so that they don't need to update anything to take advantage of kernel-side shutdown.

2007-05-16libata-acpi: add ATA_FLAG_ACPI_SATA port flagTejun Heo
Whether a controller needs IDE or SATA ACPI hierarchy is determined by the programming interface of the controller not by whether the controller is SATA or PATA, or it supports slave device or not. This patch adds ATA_FLAG_ACPI_SATA port flags which tells libata-acpi that the port needs SATA ACPI nodes, and sets the flag for ahci and sata_sil24.

2007-05-16libata: during revalidation, check n_sectors after device is configuredTejun Heo
Device might be resized during ata_dev_configure() due to HPA or (later) ACPI _GTF. Currently it's worked around by caching n_sectors before turning off HPA. The cached original size is overwritten if the device is reconfigured without being hardreset - which always happens after configuring trasnfer mode. If the device gets hardreset for some reason after that, revalidation fails with -ENODEV. This patch makes size checking more robust by moving n_sectors check from ata_dev_reread_id() to ata_dev_revalidate() after the device is fully configured. No matter what happens during configuration, a device must have the same n_sectors after fully configured to be treated as the same device.
