2007-10-10[NET]: Add a network namespace tag to struct net_deviceEric W. Biederman
Please note that network devices do not increase the count count on the network namespace. The are inside the network namespace and so the network namespace tag is in the nature of a back pointer and so getting and putting the network namespace is unnecessary. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-10-10[XFRM]: xfrm audit callsJoy Latten
This patch modifies the current ipsec audit layer by breaking it up into purpose driven audit calls. So far, the only audit calls made are when add/delete an SA/policy. It had been discussed to give each key manager it's own calls to do this, but I found there to be much redundnacy since they did the exact same things, except for how they got auid and sid, so I combined them. The below audit calls can be made by any key manager. Hopefully, this is ok. Signed-off-by: Joy Latten <latten@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-10[TCP] MIB: Add counters for discarded SACK blocksIlpo Järvinen
In DSACK case, some events are not extraordinary, such as packet duplication generated DSACK. They can arrive easily below snd_una when undo_marker is not set (TCP being in CA_Open), counting such DSACKs amoung SACK discards will likely just mislead if they occur in some scenario when there are other problems as well. Similarly, excessively delayed packets could cause "normal" DSACKs. Therefore, separate counters are allocated for DSACK events.

2007-10-10[NET] netconsole: Support dynamic reconfiguration using configfsSatyam Sharma
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated accordingly. Issues and brief design overview: (1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there. (2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus, netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of _this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls. (3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt. (4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API, that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure. netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to be used from netconsole.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.Stephen Hemminger
Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several queues. In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the structure representing the poll is independant from the net device itself. The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from: int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget) to int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget) The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the caller upon return. The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data structures. Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures, only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances it may have per-device. With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier, Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim. Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra, Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan. [ Ported to current tree and all drivers converted.

2007-10-08mm: set_page_dirty_balance() vs ->page_mkwrite()Peter Zijlstra
All the current page_mkwrite() implementations also set the page dirty. Which results in the set_page_dirty_balance() call to _not_ call balance, because the page is already found dirty. This allows us to dirty a _lot_ of pages without ever hitting balance_dirty_pages(). Not good (tm). Force a balance call if ->page_mkwrite() was successful.

2007-10-07Don't do load-average calculations at even 5-second intervalsLinus Torvalds
It turns out that there are a few other five-second timers in the kernel, and if the timers get in sync, the load-average can get artificially inflated by events that just happen to coincide. So just offset the load average calculation it by a timer tick. Noticed by Anders Boström, for whom the coincidence started triggering on one of his machines with the JBD jiffies rounding code (JBD is one of the subsystems that also end up using a 5-second timer by default).

2007-09-20signalfd simplificationDavide Libenzi
This simplifies signalfd code, by avoiding it to remain attached to the sighand during its lifetime. In this way, the signalfd remain attached to the sighand only during poll(2) (and select and epoll) and read(2). This also allows to remove all the custom "tsk == current" checks in kernel/signal.c, since dequeue_signal() will only be called by "current". I think this is also what Ben was suggesting time ago. The external effect of this, is that a thread can extract only its own private signals and the group ones. I think this is an acceptable behaviour, in that those are the signals the thread would be able to fetch w/out signalfd.

2007-09-19Fix NUMA Memory Policy Reference CountingLee Schermerhorn
This patch proposes fixes to the reference counting of memory policy in the page allocation paths and in show_numa_map(). Extracted from my "Memory Policy Cleanups and Enhancements" series as stand-alone. Shared policy lookup [shmem] has always added a reference to the policy, but this was never unrefed after page allocation or after formatting the numa map data. Default system policy should not require additional ref counting, nor should the current task's task policy. However, show_numa_map() calls get_vma_policy() to examine what may be [likely is] another task's policy. The latter case needs protection against freeing of the policy. This patch adds a reference count to a mempolicy returned by get_vma_policy() when the policy is a vma policy or another task's mempolicy. Again, shared policy is already reference counted on lookup. A matching "unref" [__mpol_free()] is performed in alloc_page_vma() for shared and vma policies, and in show_numa_map() for shared and another task's mempolicy. We can call __mpol_free() directly, saving an admittedly inexpensive inline NULL test, because we know we have a non-NULL policy. Handling policy ref counts for hugepages is a bit trickier. huge_zonelist() returns a zone list that might come from a shared or vma 'BIND policy. In this case, we should hold the reference until after the huge page allocation in dequeue_hugepage(). The patch modifies huge_zonelist() to return a pointer to the mempolicy if it needs to be unref'd after allocation.

2007-09-19Fix user namespace exiting OOPsPavel Emelyanov
It turned out, that the user namespace is released during the do_exit() in exit_task_namespaces(), but the struct user_struct is released only during the put_task_struct(), i.e. MUCH later. On debug kernels with poisoned slabs this will cause the oops in uid_hash_remove() because the head of the chain, which resides inside the struct user_namespace, will be already freed and poisoned. Since the uid hash itself is required only when someone can search it, i.e. when the namespace is alive, we can safely unhash all the user_struct-s from it during the namespace exiting. The subsequent free_uid() will complete the user_struct destruction. For example simple program #include <sched.h> char stack[2 * 1024 * 1024]; int f(void *foo) { return 0; } int main(void) { clone(f, stack + 1 * 1024 * 1024, 0x10000000, 0); return 0; } run on kernel with CONFIG_USER_NS turned on will oops the kernel immediately.

2007-09-11[NETFILTER]: Fix/improve deadlock condition on module removal netfilterNeil Horman
So I've had a deadlock reported to me. I've found that the sequence of events goes like this: 1) process A (modprobe) runs to remove ip_tables.ko 2) process B (iptables-restore) runs and calls setsockopt on a netfilter socket, increasing the ip_tables socket_ops use count 3) process A acquires a file lock on the file ip_tables.ko, calls remove_module in the kernel, which in turn executes the ip_tables module cleanup routine, which calls nf_unregister_sockopt 4) nf_unregister_sockopt, seeing that the use count is non-zero, puts the calling process into uninterruptible sleep, expecting the process using the socket option code to wake it up when it exits the kernel 4) the user of the socket option code (process B) in do_ipt_get_ctl, calls ipt_find_table_lock, which in this case calls request_module to load ip_tables_nat.ko 5) request_module forks a copy of modprobe (process C) to load the module and blocks until modprobe exits. 6) Process C. forked by request_module process the dependencies of ip_tables_nat.ko, of which ip_tables.ko is one. 7) Process C attempts to lock the request module and all its dependencies, it blocks when it attempts to lock ip_tables.ko (which was previously locked in step 3) Theres not really any great permanent solution to this that I can see, but I've developed a two part solution that corrects the problem Part 1) Modifies the nf_sockopt registration code so that, instead of using a use counter internal to the nf_sockopt_ops structure, we instead use a pointer to the registering modules owner to do module reference counting when nf_sockopt calls a modules set/get routine. This prevents the deadlock by preventing set 4 from happening. Part 2) Enhances the modprobe utilty so that by default it preforms non-blocking remove operations (the same way rmmod does), and add an option to explicity request blocking operation. So if you select blocking operation in modprobe you can still cause the above deadlock, but only if you explicity try (and since root can do any old stupid thing it would like.... :) ).

Ryusuke Konishi says: The recent truncate_complete_page() clears the dirty flag from a page before calling a_ops->invalidatepage(), ^^^^^^ static void truncate_complete_page(struct address_space *mapping, struct page *page) { ... cancel_dirty_page(page, PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); <--- Inserted here at kernel 2.6.20 if (PagePrivate(page)) do_invalidatepage(page, 0); ---> will call a_ops->invalidatepage() ... } and this is disturbing nfs_wb_page_priority() from calling nfs_writepage_locked() that is expected to handle the pending request (=nfs_page) associated with the page. int nfs_wb_page_priority(struct inode *inode, struct page *page, int how) { ... if (clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)) { ret = nfs_writepage_locked(page, &wbc); if (ret < 0) goto out; } ... } Since truncate_complete_page() will get rid of the page after a_ops->invalidatepage() returns, the request (=nfs_page) associated with the page becomes a garbage in nfs_inode->nfs_page_tree. ------------------------ Fix this by ensuring that nfs_wb_page_priority() recognises that it may also need to clear out non-dirty pages that have an nfs_page associated with them.

2007-08-31hugepage: fix broken check for offset alignment in hugepage mappingsDavid Gibson
For hugepage mappings, the file offset, like the address and size, needs to be aligned to the size of a hugepage. In commit 68589bc353037f233fe510ad9ff432338c95db66, the check for this was moved into prepare_hugepage_range() along with the address and size checks. But since BenH's rework of the get_unmapped_area() paths leading up to commit 4b1d89290b62bb2db476c94c82cf7442aab440c8, prepare_hugepage_range() is only called for MAP_FIXED mappings, not for other mappings. This means we're no longer ever checking for an aligned offset - I've confirmed that mmap() will (apparently) succeed with a misaligned offset on both powerpc and i386 at least. This patch restores the check, removing it from prepare_hugepage_range() and putting it back into hugetlbfs_file_mmap(). I'm putting it there, rather than in the get_unmapped_area() path so it only needs to go in one place, than separately in the half-dozen or so arch-specific implementations of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area().

2007-08-31i2c-piix4: Fix SB700 PCI device IDShane Huang
We find that SB700 and SB800 use the same SMBus device ID as SB600, which is 0x4385, instead of the already submitted 0x4395. Besides removing the wrong SB700 device ID, add SB800 support to kernel, by renaming the PCI_DEVICE_ID_ATI_IXP600_SMBUS into PCI_DEVICE_ID_ATI_SBX00_SMBUS.
