2006-08-06[PATCH] Make suspend possible with a traced process at a breakpointRafael J. Wysocki
It should be possible to suspend, either to RAM or to disk, if there's a traced process that has just reached a breakpoint. However, this is a special case, because its parent process might have been frozen already and then we are unable to deliver the "freeze" signal to the traced process. If this happens, it's better to cancel the freezing of the traced process. Ref. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6787 Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2006-08-02usb-storage: Add US_FL_IGNORE_DEVICE flag; ignore ZyXEL G220FDaniel Drake
This patch adds a new unusual_devs flag for when usb-storage needs to ignore a device that it would otherwise claim. We need to ignore the ZyXEL G220F as it is a virtual CDROM drive which includes the windows driver for this USB-WLAN adapter. After the windows driver is installed on a windows system, it converts it into a WLAN adapter (by ejecting the virtual disc). The virtual CDROM is of no interest to Linux users. The zd1211rw driver will automatically perform the eject operation, we just need to ensure that usb-storage does not claim the device.

2006-08-02[AF_UNIX]: Kernel memory leak fix for af_unix datagram getpeersec patchCatherine Zhang
From: Catherine Zhang <cxzhang@watson.ibm.com> This patch implements a cleaner fix for the memory leak problem of the original unix datagram getpeersec patch. Instead of creating a security context each time a unix datagram is sent, we only create the security context when the receiver requests it. This new design requires modification of the current unix_getsecpeer_dgram LSM hook and addition of two new hooks, namely, secid_to_secctx and release_secctx. The former retrieves the security context and the latter releases it. A hook is required for releasing the security context because it is up to the security module to decide how that's done. In the case of Selinux, it's a simple kfree operation. Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The skb_queue_head_init() function is used both in drivers for private use and in the core networking code. The usage models are vastly set of functions that is only softirq safe; while the driver usage tends to be more limited to a few hardirq safe accessor functions. Rather than annotating all 133+ driver usages, for now just split this lock into a per queue class. This change is obviously safe and probably should make 2.6.18.

2006-07-31[PATCH] fbdev: statically link the framebuffer notification functionsAntonino A. Daplas
The backlight and lcd subsystems can be notified by the framebuffer layer of blanking events. However, these subsystems, as a whole, can function independently from the framebuffer layer. But in order to enable to the lcd and backlight subsystems, the framebuffer has to be compiled also, effectively sucking in a huge amount of unneeded code. To prevent dependency problems, separate out the framebuffer notification mechanism from the framebuffer layer and permanently link it to the kernel.

2006-07-31[PATCH] delay accounting: temporarily enable by defaultShailabh Nagar
Enable delay accounting by default so that feature gets coverage testing without requiring special measures. Earlier, it was off by default and had to be enabled via a boot time param. This patch reverses the default behaviour to improve coverage testing. It can be removed late in the kernel development cycle if its believed users shouldn't have to incur any cost if they don't want delay accounting. Or it can be retained forever if the utility of the stats is deemed common enough to warrant keeping the feature on.

2006-07-31[PATCH] genirq: {en,dis}able_irq_wake() need refcounting tooDavid Brownell
IRQs need refcounting and a state flag to track whether the the IRQ should be enabled or disabled as a "normal IRQ" source after a series of calls to {en,dis}able_irq(). For shared IRQs, the IRQ must be enabled so long as at least one driver needs it active. Likewise, IRQs need the same support to track whether the IRQ should be enabled or disabled as a "wakeup event" source after a series of calls to {en,dis}able_irq_wake(). For shared IRQs, the IRQ must be enabled as a wakeup source during sleep so long as at least one driver needs it. But right now they _don't have_ that refcounting ... which means sharing a wakeup-capable IRQ can't work correctly in some configurations. This patch adds the refcount and flag mechanisms to set_irq_wake() -- which is what {en,dis}able_irq_wake() call -- and minimal documentation of what the irq wake mechanism does. Drivers relying on the older (broken) "toggle" semantics will trigger a warning; that'll be a handful of drivers on ARM systems.

2006-07-31[PATCH] Process Events: Fix biarch compatibility issue. use __u64 timestampChandra Seetharaman
Events sent by Process Events Connector from a 64-bit kernel are not binary compatible with a 32-bit userspace program because the "timestamp" field (struct timespec) is not arch independent. This affects the fields that follow "timestamp" as they will be be off by 8 bytes. This is a problem for 32-bit userspace programs running with 64-bit kernels on ppc64, s390, x86-64.. any "biarch" system. Matt had submitted a different solution to lkml as an RFC earlier. We have since switched to a solution recommended by Evgeniy Polyakov. This patch fixes the problem by changing the timestamp to be a __u64, which stores the number of nanoseconds. Tested on a x86_64 system with both 32 bit application and 64 bit application and on a i386 system.

2006-07-31[PATCH] ext3: avoid triggering ext3_error on bad NFS file handleNeil Brown
The inode number out of an NFS file handle gets passed eventually to ext3_get_inode_block() without any checking. If ext3_get_inode_block() allows it to trigger an error, then bad filehandles can have unpleasant effect - ext3_error() will usually cause a forced read-only remount, or a panic if `errors=panic' was used. So remove the call to ext3_error there and put a matching check in ext3/namei.c where inode numbers are read off storage.

2006-07-28[PATCH] pi-futex: robust-futex exitIngo Molnar
Fix robust PI-futexes to be properly unlocked on unexpected exit. For this to work the kernel has to know whether a futex is a PI or a non-PI one, because the semantics are different. Since the space in relevant glibc data structures is extremely scarce, the best solution is to encode the 'PI' information in bit 0 of the robust list pointer. Existing (non-PI) glibc robust futexes have this bit always zero, so the ABI is kept. New glibc with PI-robust-futexes will set this bit.

2006-07-26[PATCH] Reorganize the cpufreq cpu hotplug locking to not be totally bizareArjan van de Ven
The patch below moves the cpu hotplugging higher up in the cpufreq layering; this is needed to avoid recursive taking of the cpu hotplug lock and to otherwise detangle the mess. The new rules are: 1. you must do lock_cpu_hotplug() around the following functions: __cpufreq_driver_target __cpufreq_governor (for CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS operation only) __cpufreq_set_policy 2. governer methods (.governer) must NOT take the lock_cpu_hotplug() lock in any way; they are called with the lock taken already 3. if your governer spawns a thread that does things, like calling __cpufreq_driver_target, your thread must honor rule #1. 4. the policy lock and other cpufreq internal locks nest within the lock_cpu_hotplug() lock. I'm not entirely happy about how the __cpufreq_governor rule ended up (conditional locking rule depending on the argument) but basically all callers pass this as a constant so it's not too horrible. The patch also removes the cpufreq_governor() function since during the locking audit it turned out to be entirely unused (so no need to fix it) The patch works on my testbox, but it could use more testing (otoh... it can't be much worse than the current code) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The CPU hotplug locking was quite messy, with a recursive lock to handle the fact that both the actual up/down sequence wanted to protect itself from being re-entered, but the callbacks that it called also tended to want to protect themselves from CPU events. This splits the lock into two (one to serialize the whole hotplug sequence, the other to protect against the CPU present bitmaps changing). The latter still allows recursive usage because some subsystems (ondemand policy for cpufreq at least) had already gotten too used to the lax locking, but the locking mistakes are hopefully now less fundamental, and we now warn about recursive lock usage when we see it, in the hope that it can be fixed.

2006-07-19[PATCH] libata: improve EH action and EHI flag handlingTejun Heo
Update ata_eh_about_to_do() and ata_eh_done() to improve EH action and EHI flag handling. * There are two types of EHI flags - one which expires on successful EH and the other which expires on a successful reset. Make this distinction clear. * Unlike other EH actions, reset actions are represented by two EH action masks and a EHI modifier. Implement correct about_to_do/done semantics for resets. That is, prior to reset, related EH info is sucked in from ehi and cleared, and after reset is complete, related EH info in ehc is cleared. These changes improve consistency and remove unnecessary EH actions caused by stale EH action masks and EHI flags.
