2006-12-08[PATCH] VFS: change struct file to use struct pathJosef "Jeff" Sipek
This patch changes struct file to use struct path instead of having independent pointers to struct dentry and struct vfsmount, and converts all users of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} in fs/ to use f_path.{dentry,mnt}. Additionally, it adds two #define's to make the transition easier for users of the f_dentry and f_vfsmnt.

2006-12-08[PATCH] struct path: move struct path from fs/namei.c into include/linuxJosef "Jeff" Sipek
Moved struct path from fs/namei.c to include/linux/namei.h. This allows many places in the VFS, as well as any stackable filesystem to easily keep track of dentry-vfsmount pairs.

This makes x86-64 use the generic BUG machinery.

This makes i386 use the generic BUG machinery. There are no functional changes from the old i386 implementation.

2006-12-08[PATCH] Generic BUG implementationJeremy Fitzhardinge
This patch adds common handling for kernel BUGs, for use by architectures as they wish. The code is derived from arch/powerpc. The advantages of having common BUG handling are: - consistent BUG reporting across architectures - shared implementation of out-of-line file/line data - implement CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE consistently This means that in inline impact of BUG is just the illegal instruction itself, which is an improvement for i386 and x86-64. A BUG is represented in the instruction stream as an illegal instruction, which has file/line information associated with it. This extra information is stored in the __bug_table section in the ELF file. When the kernel gets an illegal instruction, it first confirms it might possibly be from a BUG (ie, in kernel mode, the right illegal instruction). It then calls report_bug(). This searches __bug_table for a matching instruction pointer, and if found, prints the corresponding file/line information. If report_bug() determines that it wasn't a BUG which caused the trap, it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_NONE. Some architectures (powerpc) implement WARN using the same mechanism; if the illegal instruction was the result of a WARN, then report_bug(Q) returns CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE; otherwise it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_BUG. lib/bug.c keeps a list of loaded modules which can be searched for __bug_table entries. The architecture must call module_bug_finalize()/module_bug_cleanup() from its corresponding module_finalize/cleanup functions. Unsetting CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE will reduce the kernel size by some amount. At the very least, filename and line information will not be recorded for each but, but architectures may decide to store no extra information per BUG at all. Unfortunately, gcc doesn't have a general way to mark an asm() as noreturn, so architectures will generally have to include an infinite loop (or similar) in the BUG code, so that gcc knows execution won't continue beyond that point. gcc does have a __builtin_trap() operator which may be useful to achieve the same effect, unfortunately it cannot be used to actually implement the BUG itself, because there's no way to get the instruction's address for use in generating the __bug_table entry.

2006-12-08[PATCH] lockdep: avoid lockdep warning in mdNeilBrown
md_open takes ->reconfig_mutex which causes lockdep to complain. This (normally) doesn't have deadlock potential as the possible conflict is with a reconfig_mutex in a different device. I say "normally" because if a loop were created in the array->member hierarchy a deadlock could happen. However that causes bigger problems than a deadlock and should be fixed independently. So we flag the lock in md_open as a nested lock. This requires defining mutex_lock_interruptible_nested.

2006-12-08[PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty lockingPeter Zijlstra
Fix the locking of signal->tty. Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current' or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway. (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules) Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access). It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing. (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info invocations) [schwidefsky@de.ibm.com: 3270 fix] [akpm@osdl.org: various post-viro fixes] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: "David S.

It appears that include/asm-arm/bug.h requires include/linux/stddef.h for the definition of NULL.

Then commit 5047f09b56d0bc3c21aec9cb16de60283da645c6 incorrectly reverted change from commit ff10952a547dad934d9ed9afc5cf579ed1ccb53a (bad dwmw2) and the problem recently resurfaced.

2006-12-07Add "run_scheduled_work()" workqueue functionLinus Torvalds
This allows workqueue users to run just their own pending work, rather than wait for the whole workqueue to finish running. This solves the deadlock with networking libphy that was due to other workqueue entries possibly needing a lock that was held by the routine that wanted to flush its own work. It's not wonderful: if you absolutely need to synchronize with the work function having been executed, any user strictly speaking should have its own completion tracking logic, since when we run things explicitly by hand, the generic workqueue layer can no longer help us synchronize. Also, this is strictly only usable for work that has been scheduled without any delayed timers. You can not mix the new interface with schedule_delayed_work(). But it's better than what we had currently. Acked-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-12-07[PATCH] IPMI: Fix BT long busyCorey Minyard
The IPMI BT subdriver has been patched to survive "long busy" timeouts seen during firmware upgrades and resets. The patch never returns the HOSED state, synthesizes response messages with meaningful completion codes, and recovers gracefully when the hardware finishes the long busy. The subdriver now issues a "Get BT Capabilities" command and properly uses those results. More informative completion codes are returned on error from transaction starts; this logic was propogated to the KCS and SMIC subdrivers. Finally, indent and other style quirks were normalized.

2006-12-07[PATCH] IPMI: Add maintenance modeCorey Minyard
Some commands and operations on a BMC can cause the BMC to "go away" for a while. This can cause the automatic flag processing and other things of that nature to timeout and generate annoying logs, or possibly cause other bad things to happen when in firmware update mode. Add detection of those commands (cold reset, warm reset, and any firmware command) and turns off automatic processing for 30 seconds. It also add a manual override either way.

2006-12-07[PATCH] aio: remove ki_retried debugging memberBenjamin LaHaise
Remove the ki_retried member from struct kiocb. I think the idea was bounced around a while back, but Arnaldo pointed out another reason that we should dig it up when he pointed out that the last cacheline of struct kiocb only contains 4 bytes. By removing the debugging member, we save more than the 8 byte on 64 bit machines.

2006-12-07[PATCH] Kexec / Kdump: Unify elf note codeMagnus Damm
The elf note saving code is currently duplicated over several architectures. This cleanup patch simply adds code to a common file and then replaces the arch-specific code with calls to the newly added code. The only drawback with this approach is that s390 doesn't fully support kexec-on-panic which for that arch leads to introduction of unused code.
