2010-01-17[SCSI] fc-transport: Use packed modifier for fc_bsg_request structure.Harish Zunjarrao
The 32bit kernel does not add padding bytes in the fc_bsg_request structure whereas the 64bit kernel adds padding bytes in the fc_bsg_request structure. Due to this, structure elements gets mismatched with 32bit application and 64bit kernel.To resolve this, used packed modifier to avoid adding padding bytes.

2010-01-16nommu: fix shared mmap after truncate shrinkage problemsDavid Howells
Fix a problem in NOMMU mmap with ramfs whereby a shared mmap can happen over the end of a truncation. The problem is that ramfs_nommu_check_mappings() checks that the reduced file size against the VMA tree, but not the vm_region tree. The following sequence of events can cause the problem: fd = open("/tmp/x", O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT, 0600); ftruncate(fd, 32 * 1024); a = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); b = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); munmap(a, 32 * 1024); ftruncate(fd, 16 * 1024); c = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); Mapping 'a' creates a vm_region covering 32KB of the file. Mapping 'b' sees that the vm_region from 'a' is covering the region it wants and so shares it, pinning it in memory. Mapping 'a' then goes away and the file is truncated to the end of VMA 'b'. However, the region allocated by 'a' is still in effect, and has _not_ been reduced. Mapping 'c' is then created, and because there's a vm_region covering the desired region, get_unmapped_area() is _not_ called to repeat the check, and the mapping is granted, even though the pages from the latter half of the mapping have been discarded. However: d = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); Mapping 'd' should work, and should end up sharing the region allocated by 'a'. To deal with this, we shrink the vm_region struct during the truncation, lest do_mmap_pgoff() take it as licence to share the full region automatically without calling the get_unmapped_area() file op again.

2010-01-16kernel.h: add BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2()Roland Dreier
Add BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2() When code relies on a constant being a power of 2: #define FOO 512 /* must be a power of 2 */ it would be nice to be able to do: BUILD_BUG_ON(!is_power_of_2(FOO)); However applying an inline function does not result in a compile-time constant that can be used with BUILD_BUG_ON(), so trying that gives results in: error: bit-field '<anonymous>' width not an integer constant As suggested by akpm, rather than monkeying around with is_power_of_2() and risking gcc warts about constant expressions, just create a macro BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2() to encapsulate this common requirement.

2010-01-16kfifo: sanitize *_user error handlingAndi Kleen
Right now for kfifo_*_user it's not easily possible to distingush between a user copy failing and the FIFO not containing enough data. The problem is that both conditions are multiplexed into the same return code. Avoid this by moving the "copy length" into a separate output parameter and only return 0/-EFAULT in the main return value. I didn't fully adapt the weird "record" variants, those seem to be unused anyways and were rather messy (should they be just removed?) I would appreciate some double checking if I did all the conversions correctly.

commit 8bd108d adds preemption point after each opcode parse, then a sleeping function called from invalid context bug was founded during suspend/resume stage. this was fixed in commit abe1dfa by don't cond_resched when irq_disabled.

(Commit 7cb777a3d71f9d1f7eb149c7a504d21f24219ae8 (mtd: add ARM pismo support) intended to add this, but seems only to have patched the Makefile without touching Kconfig or providing any code...) The following patch adds support for PISMO modules found on ARM Ltd development platforms. These are MTD modules, and can have a selection of SRAM, flash or DOC devices as described by an on-board I2C EEPROM. We support SRAM and NOR flash devices only by registering appropriate conventional MTD platform devices as children of the 'pismo' device.

2010-01-11core, x86: make LIST_POISON less deadlyAvi Kivity
The list macros use LIST_POISON1 and LIST_POISON2 as undereferencable pointers in order to trap erronous use of freed list_heads. Unfortunately userspace can arrange for those pointers to actually be dereferencable, potentially turning an oops to an expolit. To avoid this allow architectures (currently x86_64 only) to override the default values for these pointers with truly-undereferencable values. This is easy on x86_64 as the virtual address space is large and contains areas that cannot be mapped. Other 64-bit architectures will likely find similar unmapped ranges.

2010-01-11lib: add support for LZO-compressed kernelsAlbin Tonnerre
This patch series adds generic support for creating and extracting LZO-compressed kernel images, as well as support for using such images on the x86 and ARM architectures, and support for creating and using LZO-compressed initrd and initramfs images. Russell King said: : Testing on a Cortex A9 model: : - lzo decompressor is 65% of the time gzip takes to decompress a kernel : - lzo kernel is 9% larger than a gzip kernel : : which I'm happy to say confirms your figures when comparing the two. : : However, when comparing your new gzip code to the old gzip code: : - new is 99% of the size of the old code : - new takes 42% of the time to decompress than the old code : : What this means is that for a proper comparison, the results get even better: : - lzo is 7.5% larger than the old gzip'd kernel image : - lzo takes 28% of the time that the old gzip code took : : So the expense seems definitely worth the effort. The only reason I : can think of ever using gzip would be if you needed the additional : compression (eg, because you have limited flash to store the image.) : : I would argue that the default for ARM should therefore be LZO. This patch: The lzo compressor is worse than gzip at compression, but faster at extraction. Here are some figures for an ARM board I'm working on: Uncompressed size: 3.24Mo gzip 1.61Mo 0.72s lzo 1.75Mo 0.48s So for a compression ratio that is still relatively close to gzip, it's much faster to extract, at least in that case. This part contains: - Makefile routine to support lzo compression - Fixes to the existing lzo compressor so that it can be used in compressed kernels - wrapper around the existing lzo1x_decompress, as it only extracts one block at a time, while we need to extract a whole file here - config dialog for kernel compression [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanup] Signed-off-by: Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> Tested-by: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com> Acked-by: "H.

2010-01-06ip: fix mc_loop checks for tunnels with multicast outer addressesOctavian Purdila
When we have L3 tunnels with different inner/outer families (i.e. IPV4/IPV6) which use a multicast address as the outer tunnel destination address, multicast packets will be loopbacked back to the sending socket even if IP*_MULTICAST_LOOP is set to disabled. The mc_loop flag is present in the family specific part of the socket (e.g. the IPv4 or IPv4 specific part). setsockopt sets the inner family mc_loop flag. When the packet is pushed through the L3 tunnel it will eventually be processed by the outer family which if different will check the flag in a different part of the socket then it was set.

2010-01-07drm: remove address mask param for drm_pci_alloc()Zhenyu Wang
drm_pci_alloc() has input of address mask for setting pci dma mask on the device, which should be properly setup by drm driver. And leave it as a param for drm_pci_alloc() would cause confusion or mistake would corrupt the correct dma mask setting, as seen on intel hw which set wrong dma mask for hw status page. So remove it from drm_pci_alloc() function. Signed-off-by: Zhenyu Wang <zhenyuw@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>
