2008-02-11mempolicy: silently restrict nodemask to allowed nodesKOSAKI Motohiro
Kosaki Motohito noted that "numactl --interleave=all ..." failed in the presence of memoryless nodes. This patch attempts to fix that problem. Some background: numactl --interleave=all calls set_mempolicy(2) with a fully populated [out to MAXNUMNODES] nodemask. set_mempolicy() [in do_set_mempolicy()] calls contextualize_policy() which requires that the nodemask be a subset of the current task's mems_allowed; else EINVAL will be returned. A task's mems_allowed will always be a subset of node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] i.e., nodes with memory. So, a fully populated nodemask will be declared invalid if it includes memoryless nodes. NOTE: the same thing will occur when running in a cpuset with restricted mem_allowed--for the same reason: node mask contains dis-allowed nodes. mbind(2), on the other hand, just masks off any nodes in the nodemask that are not included in the caller's mems_allowed. In each case [mbind() and set_mempolicy()], mpol_check_policy() will complain [again, resulting in EINVAL] if the nodemask contains any memoryless nodes. This is somewhat redundant as mpol_new() will remove memoryless nodes for interleave policy, as will bind_zonelist()--called by mpol_new() for BIND policy. Proposed fix: 1) modify contextualize_policy logic to: a) remember whether the incoming node mask is empty. b) if not, restrict the nodemask to allowed nodes, as is currently done in-line for mbind(). This guarantees that the resulting mask includes only nodes with memory. NOTE: this is a [benign, IMO] change in behavior for set_mempolicy(). Dis-allowed nodes will be silently ignored, rather than returning an error. c) fold this code into mpol_check_policy(), replace 2 calls to contextualize_policy() to call mpol_check_policy() directly and remove contextualize_policy(). 2) In existing mpol_check_policy() logic, after "contextualization": a) MPOL_DEFAULT: require that in coming mask "was_empty" b) MPOL_{BIND|INTERLEAVE}: require that contextualized nodemask contains at least one node. c) add a case for MPOL_PREFERRED: if in coming was not empty and resulting mask IS empty, user specified invalid nodes. Return EINVAL. c) remove the now redundant check for memoryless nodes 3) remove the now redundant masking of policy nodes for interleave policy from mpol_new(). 4) Now that mpol_check_policy() contextualizes the nodemask, remove the in-line nodes_and() from sys_mbind(). I believe that this restores mbind() to the behavior before the memoryless-nodes patch series. E.g., we'll no longer treat an invalid nodemask with MPOL_PREFERRED as local allocation. [ Patch history: v1 -> v2: - Communicate whether or not incoming node mask was empty to mpol_check_policy() for better error checking. - As suggested by David Rientjes, remove the now unused cpuset_nodes_subset_current_mems_allowed() from cpuset.h v2 -> v3: - As suggested by Kosaki Motohito, fold the "contextualization" of policy nodemask into mpol_check_policy().

2008-02-11ide-disk: fix flush requests (take 2)Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
commit 813a0eb233ee67d7166241a8b389b6a76f2247f9 Author: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com> Date: Fri Jan 25 22:17:10 2008 +0100 ide: switch idedisk_prepare_flush() to use REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE requests ... broke flush requests. Allocating IDE command structure on the stack for flush requests is not a very brilliant idea: - idedisk_prepare_flush() only prepares the request and it doesn't wait for it to be completed - there are can be multiple flush requests queued in the queue Fix the problem (per hints from James Bottomley) by: - dynamically allocating ide_task_t instance using kmalloc(..., GFP_ATOMIC) - adding new taskfile flag (IDE_TFLAG_DYN) - calling kfree() in ide_end_drive_command() if IDE_TFLAG_DYN is set (while at it rename 'args' to 'task' and fix whitespace damage) [ This will be fixed properly before 2.6.25 but this bug is rather critical and the proper solution requires some more work + testing. ] Thanks to Sebastian Siewior and Christoph Hellwig for reporting the problem and testing patches (extra thanks to Sebastian for bisecting it to the guilty commmit).

2008-02-10hrtimer: fix *rmtp handling in hrtimer_nanosleep()Oleg Nesterov
Spotted by Pavel Emelyanov and Alexey Dobriyan. hrtimer_nanosleep() sets restart_block->arg1 = rmtp, but this rmtp points to the local variable which lives in the caller's stack frame. This means that if sys_restart_syscall() actually happens and it is interrupted as well, we don't update the user-space variable, but write into the already dead stack frame. Introduced by commit 04c227140fed77587432667a574b14736a06dd7f hrtimer: Rework hrtimer_nanosleep to make sys_compat_nanosleep easier Change the callers to pass "__user *rmtp" to hrtimer_nanosleep(), and change hrtimer_nanosleep() to use copy_to_user() to actually update *rmtp. Small problem remains. man 2 nanosleep states that *rtmp should be written if nanosleep() was interrupted (it says nothing whether it is OK to update *rmtp if nanosleep returns 0), but (with or without this patch) we can dirty *rem even if nanosleep() returns 0. NOTE: this patch doesn't change compat_sys_nanosleep(), because it has other bugs. Fixed by the next patch.

2008-02-10ext4: Add new "development flag" to the ext4 filesystemTheodore Tso
This flag is simply a generic "this is a crash/burn test filesystem" marker. If it is set, then filesystem code which is "in development" will be allowed to mount the filesystem. Filesystem code which is not considered ready for prime-time will check for this flag, and if it is not set, it will refuse to touch the filesystem. As we start rolling ext4 out to distro's like Fedora, et. al, this makes it less likely that a user might accidentally start using ext4 on a production filesystem; a bad thing, since that will essentially make it be unfsckable until e2fsprogs catches up.

2008-02-08IB/mlx4: Use multiple WQ blocks to post smaller send WQEsJack Morgenstein
ConnectX HCA supports shrinking WQEs, so that a single work request can be made of multiple units of wqe_shift. This way, WRs can differ in size, and do not have to be a power of 2 in size, saving memory and speeding up send WR posting. Unfortunately, if we do this then the wqe_index field in CQEs can't be used to look up the WR ID anymore, so our implementation does this only if selective signaling is off. Further, on 32-bit platforms, we can't use vmap() to make the QP buffer virtually contigious. Thus we have to use constant-sized WRs to make sure a WR is always fully within a single page-sized chunk. Finally, we use WRs with the NOP opcode to avoid wrapping around the queue buffer in the middle of posting a WR, and we set the NoErrorCompletion bit to avoid getting completions with error for NOP WRs. However, NEC is only supported starting with firmware 2.2.232, so we use constant-sized WRs for older firmware. And, since MLX QPs only support SEND, we use constant-sized WRs in this case. When stamping during NOP posting, do stamping following setting of the NOP WQE valid bit. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2008-02-08CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables.Martin Schwidefsky
Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390. These sub-page page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization instruction with KVM. The SIE instruction requires that the page tables have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries (pgste). The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE instruction. The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking. To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return 1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE. Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K. That means the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct page. Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than 32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be accessible since its not kmapped). Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a pgtable_t. For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a later patch. For everybody else it will be a (struct page *). The additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and a destructor pgtable_page_dtor. The page table allocation and free functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or freed. pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer. To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added. It replaces the pmd_page call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

2008-02-08IRQ_NOPROBE helper functionsRalf Baechle
Probing non-ISA interrupts using the handle_percpu_irq as their handle_irq method may crash the system because handle_percpu_irq does not check IRQ_WAITING. This for example hits the MIPS Qemu configuration. This patch provides two helper functions set_irq_noprobe and set_irq_probe to set rsp. clear the IRQ_NOPROBE flag. The only current caller is MIPS code but this really belongs into generic code. As an aside, interrupt probing these days has become a mostly obsolete if not dangerous art. I think Linux interrupts should be changed to default to non-probing but that's subject of this patch.

2008-02-08Add new string functions strict_strto* and convert kernel params to use themYi Yang
Currently, for every sysfs node, the callers will be responsible for implementing store operation, so many many callers are doing duplicate things to validate input, they have the same mistakes because they are calling simple_strtol/ul/ll/uul, especially for module params, they are just numeric, but you can echo such values as 0x1234xxx, 07777888 and 1234aaa, for these cases, module params store operation just ignores succesive invalid char and converts prefix part to a numeric although input is acctually invalid. This patch tries to fix the aforementioned issues and implements strict_strtox serial functions, kernel/params.c uses them to strictly validate input, so module params will reject such values as 0x1234xxxx and returns an error: write error: Invalid argument Any modules which export numeric sysfs node can use strict_strtox instead of simple_strtox to reject any invalid input. Here are some test results: Before applying this patch: [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0x1000 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0x1000g > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0x1000gggggggg > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 010000 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0100008 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 010000aaaaa > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# After applying this patch: [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0x1000 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0x1000g > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0x1000gggggggg > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 010000 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0100008 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 010000aaaaa > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo -n 4096 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix compiler warnings] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix off-by-one found by tiwai@suse.de] Signed-off-by: Yi Yang <yi.y.yang@intel.com> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Cc: "Randy.Dunlap" <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Cc: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Add a new s_options field to struct super_block. Filesystems can save mount options passed to them in mount or remount. It is automatically freed when the superblock is destroyed. A new helper function, generic_show_options() is introduced, which uses this field to display the mount options in /proc/mounts. Another helper function, save_mount_options() may be used by filesystems to save the options in the super block.

Per previous discussions about cleaning up ufs_fs.h, people just want this straight up dropped from userspace export. The only remaining consumer (silo) has been fixed a while ago to not rely on this header. This allows use to move it completely from include/linux/ to fs/ufs/ seeing as how the only in-kernel consumer is fs/ufs/.

2008-02-08SMBIOS/DMI: add type 41 = Onboard Devices Extended InformationWim Van Sebroeck
From version 2.6 of the SMBIOS standard, type 10 (On Board Devices Information) becomes obsolete. The reason for this is that no further fields can be added to this structure without adversely affecting existing software's ability to properly parse the data. Therefore type 41 (Onboard Devices Extended Information) was added. The structure is as follows: struct smbios_type_41 { u8 type; u8 length; u16 handle; u8 reference_designation_string; u8 device_type; /* same device type as in type 10 */ u8 device_type_instance; u16 segment_group_number; u8 bus_number; u8 device_function_number; }; For more info: http://www.dmtf.org/standards/smbios Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be> Cc: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Cc: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> Cc: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Cc: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
