2007-11-14x86: don't call mce_create_device on CPU_UP_PREPAREAndreas Herrmann1-7/+11
Fix regression introduced with d435d862baca3e25e5eec236762a43251b1e7ffc ("cpu hotplug: mce: fix cpu hotplug error handling"). A CPU which was not brought up during boot (using maxcpus and additional_cpus parameters) couldn't be onlined anymore. For such a CPU it seemed that MCE was not supported during CPU_UP_PREPARE-time which caused mce_cpu_callback to return NOTIFY_BAD to notifier_call_chain. To fix this we: - call mce_create_device for CPU_ONLINE event (instead of CPU_UP_PREPARE), - avoid mce_remove_device() for the CPU that is not correctly initialized by mce_create_device() failure, - make mce_cpu_callback always return NOTIFY_OK for CPU_ONLINE event. Because CPU_ONLINE callback return value is always ignored.

2007-11-14hibernate: fix lockdep reportJohannes Berg1-1/+11
Lockdep reports a circular locking dependency in the hibernate code because - during system boot hibernate code (from an initcall) locks pm_mutex and then a sysfs buffer mutex via name_to_dev_t - during regular operation hibernate code locks pm_mutex under a sysfs buffer mutex because it's called from sysfs methods. The deadlock can never happen because during initcall invocation nothing can write to sysfs yet. This removes the lockdep report by marking the initcall locking as being in a different class.

2007-11-14__do_IRQ does not check IRQ_DISABLED when IRQ_PER_CPU is setRuss Anderson1-3/+5
In __do_IRQ(), the normal case is that IRQ_DISABLED is checked and if set the handler (handle_IRQ_event()) is not called. Earlier in __do_IRQ(), if IRQ_PER_CPU is set the code does not check IRQ_DISABLED and calls the handler even though IRQ_DISABLED is set. This behavior seems unintentional. One user encountering this behavior is the CPE handler (in arch/ia64/kernel/mca.c). When the CPE handler encounters too many CPEs (such as a solid single bit error), it sets up a polling timer and disables the CPE interrupt (to avoid excessive overhead logging the stream of single bit errors). disable_irq_nosync() is called which sets IRQ_DISABLED. The IRQ_PER_CPU flag was previously set (in ia64_mca_late_init()). The net result is the CPE handler gets called even though it is marked disabled. If the behavior of not checking IRQ_DISABLED when IRQ_PER_CPU is set is intentional, it would be worthy of a comment describing the intended behavior. disable_irq_nosync() does call chip->disable() to provide a chipset specifiec interface for disabling the interrupt, which avoids this issue when used.

2007-11-14pidns: Place under CONFIG_EXPERIMENTALEric W. Biederman3-0/+37
This is my trivial patch to swat innumerable little bugs with a single blow. After some intensive review (my apologies for not having gotten to this sooner) what we have looks like a good base to build on with the current pid namespace code but it is not complete, and it is still much to simple to find issues where the kernel does the wrong thing outside of the initial pid namespace. Until the dust settles and we are certain we have the ABI and the implementation is as correct as humanly possible let's keep process ID namespaces behind CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL. Allowing us the option of fixing any ABI or other bugs we find as long as they are minor. Allowing users of the kernel to avoid those bugs simply by ensuring their kernel does not have support for multiple pid namespaces.

2007-11-14mark sys_open/sys_read exports unusedArjan van de Ven2-2/+2
sys_open / sys_read were used in the early 1.2 days to load firmware from disk inside drivers. Since 2.0 or so this was deprecated behavior, but several drivers still were using this. Since a few years we have a request_firmware() API that implements this in a nice, consistent way. Only some old ISA sound drivers (pre-ALSA) still straggled along for some time.... however with commit c2b1239a9f22f19c53543b460b24507d0e21ea0c the last user is now gone. This is a good thing, since using sys_open / sys_read etc for firmware is a very buggy to dangerous thing to do; these operations put an fd in the process file descriptor table.... which then can be tampered with from other threads for example. For those who don't want the firmware loader, filp_open()/vfs_read are the better APIs to use, without this security issue. The patch below marks sys_open and sys_read unused now that they're really not used anymore, and for deletion in the 2.6.25 timeframe.

2007-11-14rd: fix data corruption on memory pressureChristian Borntraeger1-0/+13
We have seen ramdisk based install systems, where some pages of mapped libraries and programs were suddendly zeroed under memory pressure. This should not happen, as the ramdisk avoids freeing its pages by keeping them dirty all the time. It turns out that there is a case, where the VM makes a ramdisk page clean, without telling the ramdisk driver. On memory pressure shrink_zone runs and it starts to run shrink_active_list. There is a check for buffer_heads_over_limit, and if true, pagevec_strip is called. pagevec_strip calls try_to_release_page. If the mapping has no releasepage callback, try_to_free_buffers is called. try_to_free_buffers has now a special logic for some file systems to make a dirty page clean, if all buffers are clean. Thats what happened in our test case. The simplest solution is to provide a noop-releasepage callback for the ramdisk driver. This avoids try_to_free_buffers for ramdisk pages.

"Luming Yu" <luming.yu@gmail.com> says: There is a "ttyS1 irq is -1" problem observed on tiger4 which cause the serial port broken. It is because that there is __no__ ACPI IRQ resource assigned for the serial port. So the value of the IRQ for the port is never changed since it got initialized to -1.

2007-11-14rtc: fall back to requesting only the ports we actually useBjorn Helgaas2-6/+33
Firmware like PNPBIOS or ACPI can report the address space consumed by the RTC. The actual space consumed may be less than the size (RTC_IO_EXTENT) assumed by the RTC driver. The PNP core doesn't request resources yet, but I'd like to make it do so. If/when it does, the RTC_IO_EXTENT request may fail, which prevents the RTC driver from loading. Since we only use the RTC index and data registers at RTC_PORT(0) and RTC_PORT(1), we can fall back to requesting just enough space for those. If the PNP core requests resources, this results in typical I/O port usage like this: 0070-0073 : 00:06 <-- PNP device 00:06 responds to 70-73 0070-0071 : rtc <-- RTC driver uses only 70-71 instead of the current: 0070-0077 : rtc <-- RTC_IO_EXTENT == 8 Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Cc: Alessandro Zummo <a.zummo@towertech.it> Cc: David Brownell <david-b@pacbell.net> Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-11-14reiserfs: don't drop PG_dirty when releasing sub-page-sized dirty fileFengguang Wu1-3/+0
This is not a new problem in 2.6.23-git17. 2.6.22/2.6.23 is buggy in the same way. Reiserfs could accumulate dirty sub-page-size files until umount time. They cannot be synced to disk by pdflush routines or explicit `sync' commands. Only `umount' can do the trick. The direct cause is: the dirty page's PG_dirty is wrongly _cleared_.

2007-11-14I/OAT: Add support for version 2 of ioatdma deviceShannon Nelson7-145/+780
Add support for version 2 of the ioatdma device. This device handles the descriptor chain and DCA services slightly differently: - Instead of moving the dma descriptors between a busy and an idle chain, this new version uses a single circular chain so that we don't have rewrite the next_descriptor pointers as we add new requests, and the device doesn't need to re-read the last descriptor. - The new device has the DCA tags defined internally instead of needing them defined statically.

Upon module load, we must take the markers mutex. It implies that the marker mutex must be nested inside the module mutex. It implies changing the nesting order : now the marker mutex nests inside the module mutex. Make the necessary changes to reverse the order in which the mutexes are taken.

2007-11-14Fixes to the BFS filesystem driverDmitri Vorobiev4-155/+184
I found a few bugs in the BFS driver. Detailed description of the bugs as well as the steps to reproduce the errors are given in the kernel bugzilla. Please follow these links for more information: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9363 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9364 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9365 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9366 This patch fixes the bugs described above. Besides, the patch introduces coding style changes to make the BFS driver conform to the requirements specified for Linux kernel code. Finally, I made a few cosmetic changes such as removal of trivial debug output. Also, the patch removes the fields `si_lf_ioff' and `si_lf_sblk' of the in-core superblock structure. These fields are initialized but never actually used. If you are wondering why I need BFS, here is the answer: I am using this driver in the context of Linux kernel classes I am teaching in the Moscow State University and in the International Institute of Information Technology in Pune, India.

2007-11-14revert "Task Control Groups: example CPU accounting subsystem"Andrew Morton6-225/+3
Revert 62d0df64065e7c135d0002f069444fbdfc64768f. This was originally intended as a simple initial example of how to create a control groups subsystem; it wasn't intended for mainline, but I didn't make this clear enough to Andrew. The CFS cgroup subsystem now has better functionality for the per-cgroup usage accounting (based directly on CFS stats) than the "usage" status file in this patch, and the "load" status file is rather simplistic - although having a per-cgroup load average report would be a useful feature, I don't believe this patch actually provides it. If it gets into the final 2.6.24 we'd probably have to support this interface for ever.

2007-11-14hugetlb: enforce quotas during reservation for shared mappingsAdam Litke1-10/+13
When a MAP_SHARED mmap of a hugetlbfs file succeeds, huge pages are reserved to guarantee no problems will occur later when instantiating pages. If quotas are in force, page instantiation could fail due to a race with another process or an oversized (but approved) shared mapping. To prevent these scenarios, debit the quota for the full reservation amount up front and credit the unused quota when the reservation is released.

2007-11-14hugetlb: debit quota in alloc_huge_pageAdam Litke1-12/+12
Now that quota is credited by free_huge_page(), calls to hugetlb_get_quota() seem out of place. The alloc/free API is unbalanced because we handle the hugetlb_put_quota() but expect the caller to open-code hugetlb_get_quota(). Move the get inside alloc_huge_page to clean up this disparity. This patch has been kept apart from the previous patch because of the somewhat dodgy ERR_PTR() use herein. Moving the quota logic means that alloc_huge_page() has two failure modes. Quota failure must result in a SIGBUS while a standard allocation failure is OOM. Unfortunately, ERR_PTR() doesn't like the small positive errnos we have in VM_FAULT_* so they must be negated before they are used. Does anyone take issue with the way I am using PTR_ERR. If so, what are your thoughts on how to clean this up (without needing an if,else if,else block at each alloc_huge_page() callsite)?
