2009-02-05netlink: change return-value logic of netlink_broadcast()Pablo Neira Ayuso
Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no messages at all were delivered: 1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0. 2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone() failure, return -ENOBUFS. 3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH. With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the messages to the listeners have failed: 1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return -ENOBUFS. 2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0. 3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH. In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for conntrackd) in return. This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side if they hit ENOBUFS. BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

2009-01-30cpumask: convert lib/smp_processor_id to new cpumask opsRusty Russell
Impact: fix debug_smp_processor_id() for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y The scheduler now uses the new cpumask API, which deals up to nr_cpumask_bits, whereas the API used NR_CPUS bits. If CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y these two are not equal, so the top bits are undefined. Leading to bug 12518 "BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: dellWirelessCtl/..."

2009-01-15lib/idr.c: use kmem_cache_zalloc() for the idr_layer cacheAndrew Morton
David points out that the idr_remove_all() function returns unused slabs to the kmem cache, but needs to zero them first or else they will be uninitialized upon next use. This causes crashes which have been observed in the firewire subsystem. He fixed this by zeroing the object before freeing it in idr_remove_all(). But we agree that simply removing the constructor and zeroing the object at allocation time is simpler than relying upon slab constructor machinery and might even be faster. This problem was introduced by "idr: make idr_remove rcu-safe" (commit cf481c20c476ad2c0febdace9ce23f5a4db19582), which was first released in 2.6.27. There are no known codesites which trigger this bug in 2.6.27 or 2.6.28. The post-2.6.28 firewire changes are the only known triggerer. There might of course be not-yet-discovered triggerers in 2.6.27 and 2.6.28, and there might be out-of-tree triggerers which are added to those kernel versions. I'll let the -stable guys decide whether they want to backport this fix.

2009-01-08NOMMU: Make VMAs per MM as for MMU-mode linuxDavid Howells
Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux. This solves two problems: (1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of shmat's (and forks) done. (2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another process or a dead process. A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure is discarded as it's no longer required. This patch makes the following additional changes: (1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite. Instead, each page has a reference on it held by the region. Anything else that is interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it. When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero. (2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages. (3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists. As an MM may end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is appended to the sort key. (4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list. (5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of the backing region. The VMA and region structs will be split if necessary. (6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss. Multiple shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different virtual addresses as under MMU-mode. (7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode. (8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits that aren't actually mapped anywhere. (9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be mapped directly. These are copies of the backing device or file if not anonymous. These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode. The downside is that NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).

2009-01-06percpu_counter: FBC_BATCH should be a variableEric Dumazet
For NR_CPUS >= 16 values, FBC_BATCH is 2*NR_CPUS Considering more and more distros are using high NR_CPUS values, it makes sense to use a more sensible value for FBC_BATCH, and get rid of NR_CPUS. A sensible value is 2*num_online_cpus(), with a minimum value of 32 (This minimum value helps branch prediction in __percpu_counter_add()) We already have a hotcpu notifier, so we can adjust FBC_BATCH dynamically.

2009-01-06driver core: Remove completion from struct klist_nodeMatthew Wilcox
Removing the completion from klist_node reduces its size from 64 bytes to 28 on x86-64. To maintain the semantics of klist_remove(), we add a single list of klist nodes which are pending deletion and scan them.

2009-01-06x86, ia64: remove duplicated swiotlb codeFUJITA Tomonori
This adds swiotlb_map_page and swiotlb_unmap_page to lib/swiotlb.c and remove IA64 and X86's swiotlb_map_page and swiotlb_unmap_page. This also removes unnecessary swiotlb_map_single, swiotlb_map_single_attrs, swiotlb_unmap_single and swiotlb_unmap_single_attrs.

2009-01-06x86, ia64: convert to use generic dma_map_ops structFUJITA Tomonori
This converts X86 and IA64 to use include/linux/dma-mapping.h. It's a bit large but pretty boring. The major change for X86 is converting 'int dir' to 'enum dma_data_direction dir' in DMA mapping operations. The major changes for IA64 is using map_page and unmap_page instead of map_single and unmap_single.

Impact: Partial resolution of build failure Make all the compression algorithms properly configurable, and make sure the ramdisk options pull in the proper compression algorithms, as they should. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

2009-01-04bzip2/lzma: config and initramfs support for bzip2/lzma decompressionAlain Knaff
Impact: New code for initramfs decompression, new features This is the second part of the bzip2/lzma patch The bzip patch is based on an idea by Christian Ludwig, includes support for compressing the kernel with bzip2 or lzma rather than gzip. Both compressors give smaller sizes than gzip. Lzma's decompresses faster than bzip2. It also supports ramdisks and initramfs' compressed using these two compressors. The functionality has been successfully used for a couple of years by the udpcast project This version applies to "tip" kernel 2.6.28 This part contains: - support for new compressions (bzip2 and lzma) in initramfs and old-style ramdisk - config dialog for kernel compression (but new kernel compressions not yet supported) Signed-off-by: Alain Knaff <alain@knaff.lu> Signed-off-by: H.
