2007-05-11statically initialize struct pid for swapperSukadev Bhattiprolu
Statically initialize a struct pid for the swapper process (pid_t == 0) and attach it to init_task. This is needed so task_pid(), task_pgrp() and task_session() interfaces work on the swapper process also.

2007-05-11attach_pid() with struct pid parameterSukadev Bhattiprolu
attach_pid() currently takes a pid_t and then uses find_pid() to find the corresponding struct pid. Sometimes we already have the struct pid. We can then skip find_pid() if attach_pid() were to take a struct pid parameter.

2007-05-11consolidate generic_writepages and mpage_writepagesMiklos Szeredi
Clean up massive code duplication between mpage_writepages() and generic_writepages(). The new generic function, write_cache_pages() takes a function pointer argument, which will be called for each page to be written. Maybe cifs_writepages() too can use this infrastructure, but I'm not touching that with a ten-foot pole. The upcoming page writeback support in fuse will also want this.

2007-05-11Add hard_irq_disable()Benjamin Herrenschmidt
Some architectures, like powerpc, implement lazy disabling of interrupts. That means that on those, local_irq_disable() doesn't actually disable interrupts on the CPU, but only sets some per CPU flag which cause them to be disabled only if an interrupt actually occurs. However, in some cases, such as stop_machine, we really want interrupts to be fully disabled. For example, I have code using stop machine to do ECC error injection, used to verify operations of the ECC hardware, that sort of thing. It really needs to make sure that nothing is actually writing to memory while the injection happens. Similar examples can be found in other low level bits and pieces. This patch implements a generic hard_irq_disable() function which is meant to be called -after- local_irq_disable() and ensures that interrupts are fully disabled on that CPU. The default implementation is a nop, though powerpc does already provide an appropriate one.

2007-05-11powerpc: fixup hard_irq_disable semanticsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch renames the raw hard_irq_{enable,disable} into __hard_irq_{enable,disable} and introduces a higher level hard_irq_disable() function that can be used by any code to enforce that IRQs are fully disabled, not only lazy disabled. The difference with the __ versions is that it will update some per-processor fields so that the kernel keeps track and properly re-enables them in the next local_irq_disable(); This prepares powerpc for my next patch that introduces hard_irq_disable() generically.

2007-05-11lib/hexdumpRandy Dunlap
Based on ace_dump_mem() from Grant Likely for the Xilinx SystemACE CompactFlash interface. Add print_hex_dump() & hex_dumper() to lib/hexdump.c and linux/kernel.h. This patch adds the functions print_hex_dump() & hex_dumper(). print_hex_dump() can be used to perform a hex + ASCII dump of data to syslog, in an easily viewable format, thus providing a common text hex dump format. hex_dumper() provides a dump-to-memory function. It converts one "line" of output (16 bytes of input) at a time. Example usages: print_hex_dump(KERN_DEBUG, DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS, frame->data, frame->len); hex_dumper(frame->data, frame->len, linebuf, sizeof(linebuf)); Example output using %DUMP_PREFIX_OFFSET: 0009ab42: 40414243 44454647 48494a4b 4c4d4e4f-@ABCDEFG HIJKLMNO Example output using %DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS: ffffffff88089af0: 70717273 74757677 78797a7b 7c7d7e7f-pqrstuvw xyz{|}~.

2007-05-11getrusage(): fill ru_inblock and ru_oublock fields if possibleEric Dumazet
If CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING is defined, we update io accounting counters for each task. This patch permits reporting of values using the well known getrusage() syscall, filling ru_inblock and ru_oublock instead of null values.

2007-05-11uml: iRQ stacksJeff Dike
Add a separate IRQ stack. This differs from i386 in having the entire interrupt run on a separate stack rather than starting on the normal kernel stack and switching over once some preparation has been done. The underlying mechanism, is of course, sigaltstack. Another difference is that interrupts that happen in userspace are handled on the normal kernel stack. These cause a wait wakeup instead of a signal delivery so there is no point in trying to switch stacks for these. There's no other stuff on the stack, so there is no extra stack consumption. This quirk makes it possible to have the entire interrupt run on a separate stack - process preemption (and calls to schedule()) happens on a normal kernel stack. If we enable CONFIG_PREEMPT, this will need to be rethought. The IRQ stack for CPU 0 is declared in the same way as the initial kernel stack. IRQ stacks for other CPUs will be allocated dynamically. An extra field was added to the thread_info structure. When the active thread_info is copied to the IRQ stack, the real_thread field points back to the original stack. This makes it easy to tell where to copy the thread_info struct back to when the interrupt is finished. It also serves as a marker of a nested interrupt. It is NULL for the first interrupt on the stack, and non-NULL for any nested interrupts. Care is taken to behave correctly if a second interrupt comes in when the thread_info structure is being set up or taken down. I could just disable interrupts here, but I don't feel like giving up any of the performance gained by not flipping signals on and off. If an interrupt comes in during these critical periods, the handler can't run because it has no idea what shape the stack is in. So, it sets a bit for its signal in a global mask and returns. The outer handler will deal with this signal itself. Atomicity is had with xchg. A nested interrupt that needs to bail out will xchg its signal mask into pending_mask and repeat in case yet another interrupt hit at the same time, until the mask stabilizes. The outermost interrupt will set up the thread_info and xchg a zero into pending_mask when it is done. At this point, nested interrupts will look at ->real_thread and see that no setup needs to be done. They can just continue normally. Similar care needs to be taken when exiting the outer handler. If another interrupt comes in while it is copying the thread_info, it will drop a bit into pending_mask. The outer handler will check this and if it is non-zero, will loop, set up the stack again, and handle the interrupt.

2007-05-11m32r: fix switch_to macro to push/pop frame pointer if neededHirokazu Takata
This patch fixes a rarely-happened but severe scheduling problem of the recent m32r kernel of 2.6.17-rc3 or later. In the following previous m32r patch, the switch_to macro was modified not to do unnecessary push/pop operations for tuning. > [PATCH] m32r: update switch_to macro for tuning > 4127272c38619c56f0c1aa01d01c7bd757db70a1 In this modification, only 'lr' and 'sp' registers are push/pop'ed, assuming that the m32r kernel is always compiled with -fomit-frame-pointer option. However, in 2.6 kernel, kernel/sched.c is irregularly compiled with -fno-omit-frame-pointer if CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER is not defined. -- kernel/Makefile -- : ifneq ($(CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER),y) # According to Alan Modra <alan@linuxcare.com.au>, the -fno-omit-frame-pointer is # needed for x86 only.

Andreas Schwab says it's also needed on m68k # to get a correct value for the wait-channel (WCHAN in ps). --davidm CFLAGS_sched.o := $(PROFILING) -fno-omit-frame-pointer endif : --- Therefore, for the recent m32r kernel, we have to push/pop 'fp' (frame pointer) if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is defined or CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER is not defined.

2007-05-11When stacked block devices are in-use (e.g. md or dm), the recursive callsNeil Brown
to generic_make_request can use up a lot of space, and we would rather they didn't. As generic_make_request is a void function, and as it is generally not expected that it will have any effect immediately, it is safe to delay any call to generic_make_request until there is sufficient stack space available. As ->bi_next is reserved for the driver to use, it can have no valid value when generic_make_request is called, and as __make_request implicitly assumes it will be NULL (ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE fork of switch) we can be certain that all callers set it to NULL. We can therefore safely use bi_next to link pending requests together, providing we clear it before making the real call. So, we choose to allow each thread to only be active in one generic_make_request at a time. If a subsequent (recursive) call is made, the bio is linked into a per-thread list, and is handled when the active call completes. As the list of pending bios is per-thread, there are no locking issues to worry about. I say above that it is "safe to delay any call...". There are, however, some behaviours of a make_request_fn which would make it unsafe. These include any behaviour that assumes anything will have changed after a recursive call to generic_make_request. These could include: - waiting for that call to finish and call it's bi_end_io function. md use to sometimes do this (marking the superblock dirty before completing a write) but doesn't any more - inspecting the bio for fields that generic_make_request might change, such as bi_sector or bi_bdev. It is hard to see a good reason for this, and I don't think anyone actually does it. - inspecing the queue to see if, e.g. it is 'full' yet. Again, I think this is very unlikely to be useful, or to be done. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: <dm-devel@redhat.com> Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> said: I can see nothing wrong with this in principle. For device-mapper at the moment though it's essential that, while the bio mappings may now get delayed, they still get processed in exactly the same order as they were passed to generic_make_request(). My main concern is whether the timing changes implicit in this patch will make the rare data-corrupting races in the existing snapshot code more likely. (I'm working on a fix for these races, but the unfinished patch is already several hundred lines long.) It would be helpful if some people on this mailing list would test this patch in various scenarios and report back.

2007-05-10[NETFILTER]: nf_nat: remove unused argument of function allocating bindingYasuyuki Kozakai
nf_nat_rule_find, alloc_null_binding and alloc_null_binding_confirmed do not use the argument 'info', which is actually ct->nat.info. If they are necessary to access it again, we can use the argument 'ct' instead.

- move arp_tables initial table structure definitions to arp_tables.h similar to ip_tables and ip6_tables - use C99 initializers - use initializer macros where possible Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-05-10[UDP]: Fix AF-specific references in AF-agnostic code.David S. Miller
__udp_lib_port_inuse() cannot make direct references to inet_sk(sk)->rcv_saddr as that is ipv4 specific state and this code is used by ipv6 too. Use an operations vector to solve this, and this also paves the way for ipv6 support for non-wild saddr hashing in UDP. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-05-10[NET] link_watch: Move link watch list into net_deviceHerbert Xu
These days the link watch mechanism is an integral part of the network subsystem as it manages the carrier status. So it now makes sense to allocate some memory for it in net_device rather than allocating it on demand. In fact, this is necessary because we can't tolerate a memory allocation failure since that means we'd have to potentially throw a link up event away. It also simplifies the code greatly. In doing so I discovered a subtle race condition in the use of singleevent. This race condition still exists (and is somewhat magnified) without singleevent but it's now plugged thanks to an smp_mb__before_clear_bit.
