2007-07-20mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().Paul Mundt
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either. This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create() completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves, or the documentation references).

2007-07-18[NET]: move dev_mc_discard from dev_mcast.c to dev.cDenis Cheng
Because this function is only called by unregister_netdevice, this moving could make this non-global function static, and also remove its declaration in netdevice.h; Any further, function __dev_addr_discard is also just called by dev_mc_discard and dev_unicast_discard, keeping this two functions both in one c file could make __dev_addr_discard also static and remove its declaration in netdevice.h; Futhermore, the sequential call to dev_unicast_discard and then dev_mc_discard in unregister_netdevice have a similar mechanism that: (netif_tx_lock_bh / __dev_addr_discard / netif_tx_unlock_bh), they should merged into one to eliminate duplicates in acquiring and releasing the dev->_xmit_lock, this would be done in my following patch.

2007-07-17Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2007-07-16O_CLOEXEC for SCM_RIGHTSUlrich Drepper
Part two in the O_CLOEXEC saga: adding support for file descriptors received through Unix domain sockets. The patch is once again pretty minimal, it introduces a new flag for recvmsg and passes it just like the existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag. I think this bit is not used otherwise but the networking people will know better. This new flag is not recognized by recvfrom and recv. These functions cannot be used for that purpose and the asymmetry this introduces is not worse than the already existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT situations. The patch must be applied on the patch which introduced O_CLOEXEC. It has to remove static from the new get_unused_fd_flags function but since scm.c cannot live in a module the function still hasn't to be exported. Here's a test program to make sure the code works. It's so much longer than the actual patch... #include <errno.h> #include <error.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <sys/un.h> #ifndef O_CLOEXEC # define O_CLOEXEC 02000000 #endif #ifndef MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC # define MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC 0x40000000 #endif int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { if (argc > 1) { int fd = atol (argv[1]); printf ("child: fd = %d\n", fd); if (fcntl (fd, F_GETFD) == 0 || errno != EBADF) { puts ("file descriptor valid in child"); return 1; } return 0; } struct sockaddr_un sun; strcpy (sun.sun_path, "./testsocket"); sun.sun_family = AF_UNIX; char databuf[] = "hello"; struct iovec iov[1]; iov[0].iov_base = databuf; iov[0].iov_len = sizeof (databuf); union { struct cmsghdr hdr; char bytes[CMSG_SPACE (sizeof (int))]; } buf; struct msghdr msg = { .msg_iov = iov, .msg_iovlen = 1, .msg_control = buf.bytes, .msg_controllen = sizeof (buf) }; struct cmsghdr *cmsg = CMSG_FIRSTHDR (&msg); cmsg->cmsg_level = SOL_SOCKET; cmsg->cmsg_type = SCM_RIGHTS; cmsg->cmsg_len = CMSG_LEN (sizeof (int)); msg.msg_controllen = cmsg->cmsg_len; pid_t child = fork (); if (child == -1) error (1, errno, "fork"); if (child == 0) { int sock = socket (PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0); if (sock < 0) error (1, errno, "socket"); if (bind (sock, (struct sockaddr *) &sun, sizeof (sun)) < 0) error (1, errno, "bind"); if (listen (sock, SOMAXCONN) < 0) error (1, errno, "listen"); int conn = accept (sock, NULL, NULL); if (conn == -1) error (1, errno, "accept"); *(int *) CMSG_DATA (cmsg) = sock; if (sendmsg (conn, &msg, MSG_NOSIGNAL) < 0) error (1, errno, "sendmsg"); return 0; } /* For a test suite this should be more robust like a barrier in shared memory. */ sleep (1); int sock = socket (PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0); if (sock < 0) error (1, errno, "socket"); if (connect (sock, (struct sockaddr *) &sun, sizeof (sun)) < 0) error (1, errno, "connect"); unlink (sun.sun_path); *(int *) CMSG_DATA (cmsg) = -1; if (recvmsg (sock, &msg, MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) < 0) error (1, errno, "recvmsg"); int fd = *(int *) CMSG_DATA (cmsg); if (fd == -1) error (1, 0, "no descriptor received"); char fdname[20]; snprintf (fdname, sizeof (fdname), "%d", fd); execl ("/proc/self/exe", argv[0], fdname, NULL); puts ("execl failed"); return 1; } [akpm@linux-foundation.org: Fix fastcall inconsistency noted by Michael Buesch] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix] Signed-off-by: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Acked-by: David S.

2007-07-14[NET]: dev_mcast: add multicast list synchronization helpersPatrick McHardy
The method drivers currently use to synchronize multicast lists is not very pretty: - walk the multicast list - search each entry on a copy of the previous list - if new add to lower device - walk the copy of the previous list - search each entry on the current list - if removed delete from lower device - copy entire list This patch adds a new field to struct dev_addr_list to store the synchronization state and adds two helper functions for synchronization and cleanup.

2007-07-14[NET]: Add net_device change_rx_mode callbackPatrick McHardy
Currently the set_multicast_list (and set_rx_mode) callbacks are responsible for configuring the device according to the IFF_PROMISC, IFF_MULTICAST and IFF_ALLMULTI flags and the mc_list (and uc_list in case of set_rx_mode). These callbacks can be invoked from BH context without the rtnl_mutex by dev_mc_add/dev_mc_delete, which makes reading the device flags and promiscous/allmulti count racy. For real hardware drivers that just commit all changes to the hardware this is not a real problem since the stack guarantees to call them for every change, so at least the final call will not race and commit the correct configuration to the hardware. For software devices that want to synchronize promiscous and multicast state to an underlying device however this can cause corruption of the underlying device's flags or promisc/allmulti counts. When the software device is concurrently put in promiscous or allmulti mode while set_multicast_list is invoked from bottem half context, the device might synchronize the change to the underlying device without holding the rtnl_mutex, which races with concurrent changes to the underlying device. Add a dev->change_rx_flags hook that is invoked when any of the flags that affect rx filtering change (under the rtnl_mutex), which allows drivers to perform synchronization immediately and only synchronize the address lists in set_multicast_list/set_rx_mode.

2007-07-13dmaengine: make clients responsible for managing channelsDan Williams
The current implementation assumes that a channel will only be used by one client at a time. In order to enable channel sharing the dmaengine core is changed to a model where clients subscribe to channel-available-events. Instead of tracking how many channels a client wants and how many it has received the core just broadcasts the available channels and lets the clients optionally take a reference. The core learns about the clients' needs at dma_event_callback time. In support of multiple operation types, clients can specify a capability mask to only be notified of channels that satisfy a certain set of capabilities. Changelog: * removed DMA_TX_ARRAY_INIT, no longer needed * dma_client_chan_free -> dma_chan_release: switch to global reference counting only at device unregistration time, before it was also happening at client unregistration time * clients now return dma_state_client to dmaengine (ack, dup, nak) * checkpatch.pl fixes * fixup merge with git-ioat Cc: Chris Leech <christopher.leech@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Shannon Nelson <shannon.nelson@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Acked-by: David S.

2007-07-10[NETPOLL]: Fix a leak-n-bug in netpoll_cleanup()Satyam Sharma
93ec2c723e3f8a216dde2899aeb85c648672bc6b applied excessive duct tape to the netpoll beast's netpoll_cleanup(), thus substituting one leak with another, and opening up a little buglet :-) net_device->npinfo (netpoll_info) is a shared and refcounted object and cannot simply be set NULL the first time netpoll_cleanup() is called. Otherwise, further netpoll_cleanup()'s see np->dev->npinfo == NULL and become no-ops, thus leaking. And it's a bug too: the first call to netpoll_cleanup() would thus (annoyingly) "disable" other (still alive) netpolls too. Maybe nobody noticed this because netconsole (only user of netpoll) never supported multiple netpoll objects earlier. This is a trivial and obvious one-line fixlet.

2007-07-10[SKBUFF]: Keep track of writable header len of headerless clonesPatrick McHardy
Currently NAT (and others) that want to modify cloned skbs copy them, even if in the vast majority of cases its not necessary because the skb is a clone made by TCP and the portion NAT wants to modify is actually writable because TCP release the header reference before cloning. The problem is that there is no clean way for NAT to find out how long the writable header area is, so this patch introduces skb->hdr_len to hold this length. When a headerless skb is cloned skb->hdr_len is set to the current headroom, for regular clones it is copied from the original. A new function skb_clone_writable(skb, len) returns whether the skb is writable up to len bytes from skb->data. To avoid enlarging the skb the mac_len field is reduced to 16 bit and the new hdr_len field is put in the remaining 16 bit. I've done a few rough benchmarks of NAT (not with this exact patch, but a very similar one). As expected it saves huge amounts of system time in case of sendfile, bringing it down to basically the same amount as without NAT, with sendmsg it only helps on loopback, probably because of the large MTU. Transmit a 1GB file using sendfile/sendmsg over eth0/lo with and without NAT: - sendfile eth0, no NAT: sys 0m0.388s - sendfile eth0, NAT: sys 0m1.835s - sendfile eth0: NAT + path: sys 0m0.370s (~ -80%) - sendfile lo, no NAT: sys 0m0.258s - sendfile lo, NAT: sys 0m2.609s - sendfile lo, NAT + patch: sys 0m0.260s (~ -90%) - sendmsg eth0, no NAT: sys 0m2.508s - sendmsg eth0, NAT: sys 0m2.539s - sendmsg eth0, NAT + patch: sys 0m2.445s (no change) - sendmsg lo, no NAT: sys 0m2.151s - sendmsg lo, NAT: sys 0m3.557s - sendmsg lo, NAT + patch: sys 0m2.159s (~ -40%) I expect other users can see a similar performance improvement, packet mangling iptables targets, ipip and ip_gre come to mind ..

2007-06-28[NETPOLL] netconsole: fix soft lockup when removing moduleJarek Poplawski
#1 Until kernel ver. 2.6.21 (including) cancel_rearming_delayed_work() required a work function should always (unconditionally) rearm with delay > 0 - otherwise it would endlessly loop. This patch replaces this function with cancel_delayed_work(). Later kernel versions don't require this, so here it's only for uniformity. #2 After deleting a timer in cancel_[rearming_]delayed_work() there could stay a last skb queued in npinfo->txq causing a memory leak after kfree(npinfo).

2007-06-27[NETPOLL]: tx lock deadlock fixStephen Hemminger
If sky2 device poll routine is called from netpoll_send_skb, it would deadlock. The netpoll_send_skb held the netif_tx_lock, and the poll routine could acquire it to clean up skb's. Other drivers might use same locking model. The driver is correct, netpoll should not introduce more locking problems than it causes already. So change the code to drop lock before calling poll handler. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux.foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-06-23[NET]: Make skb_seq_read unmap the last fragmentOlaf Kirch
Having walked through the entire skbuff, skb_seq_read would leave the last fragment mapped. As a consequence, the unwary caller would leak kmaps, and proceed with preempt_count off by one. The only (kind of non-intuitive) workaround is to use skb_seq_read_abort. This patch makes sure skb_seq_read always unmaps frag_data after having cycled through the skb's paged part.

2007-06-23[NET]: Re-enable irqs before pushing pending DMA requestsShannon Nelson
This moves the local_irq_enable() call in net_rx_action() to before calling the CONFIG_NET_DMA's dma_async_memcpy_issue_pending() rather than after. This shortens the irq disabled window and allows for DMA drivers that need to do their own irq hold. Signed-off-by: Shannon Nelson <shannon.nelson@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
