2010-10-19dvb-core: kill the big kernel lockArnd Bergmann4-40/+11
The dvb core only uses the big kernel lock in the open and ioctl functions, which means it can be replaced with a dvb specific mutex. Fortunately, all the ioctl functions go through dvb_usercopy, so we can move the serialization in there.

2010-10-19fix rawctl compat ioctls breakage on amd64 and itanicAl Viro2-173/+140
RAW_SETBIND and RAW_GETBIND 32bit versions are fscked in interesting ways. 1) fs/compat_ioctl.c has COMPATIBLE_IOCTL(RAW_SETBIND) followed by HANDLE_IOCTL(RAW_SETBIND, raw_ioctl). The latter is ignored. 2) on amd64 (and itanic) the damn thing is broken - we have int + u64 + u64 and layouts on i386 and amd64 are _not_ the same. raw_ioctl() would work there, but it's never called due to (1). As it is, i386 /sbin/raw definitely doesn't work on amd64 boxen. 3) switching to raw_ioctl() as is would *not* work on e.g. sparc64 and ppc64, which would be rather sad, seeing that normal userland there is 32bit. The thing is, slapping __packed on the struct in question does not DTRT - it eliminates *all* padding. The real solution is to use compat_u64. 4) of course, all that stuff has no business being outside of raw.c in the first place - there should be ->compat_ioctl() for /dev/rawctl instead of messing with compat_ioctl.c.

Three uml device drivers still use the big kernel lock, but all of them can be safely converted to using a per-driver mutex instead. Most likely this is not even necessary, so after further review these can and should be removed as well. The exec system call no longer requires the BKL either, so remove it from there, too.

All uses of the big kernel lock in the cris architecture are for ioctl and open functions of character device drivers, which can be trivially converted to a per-driver mutex.

2010-09-11PM / Hibernate: Avoid hitting OOM during preallocation of memoryRafael J. Wysocki1-20/+65
There is a problem in hibernate_preallocate_memory() that it calls preallocate_image_memory() with an argument that may be greater than the total number of available non-highmem memory pages. If that's the case, the OOM condition is guaranteed to trigger, which in turn can cause significant slowdown to occur during hibernation. To avoid that, make preallocate_image_memory() adjust its argument before calling preallocate_image_pages(), so that the total number of saveable non-highem pages left is not less than the minimum size of a hibernation image. Change hibernate_preallocate_memory() to try to allocate from highmem if the number of pages allocated by preallocate_image_memory() is too low. Modify free_unnecessary_pages() to take all possible memory allocation patterns into account. Reported-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2010-09-10xfs: log IO completion workqueue is a high priority queueDave Chinner1-1/+2
The workqueue implementation in 2.6.36-rcX has changed, resulting in the workqueues no longer having dedicated threads for work processing. This has caused severe livelocks under heavy parallel create workloads because the log IO completions have been getting held up behind metadata IO completions. Hence log commits would stall, memory allocation would stall because pages could not be cleaned, and lock contention on the AIL during inode IO completion processing was being seen to slow everything down even further. By making the log Io completion workqueue a high priority workqueue, they are queued ahead of all data/metadata IO completions and processed before the data/metadata completions. Hence the log never gets stalled, and operations needed to clean memory can continue as quickly as possible. This avoids the livelock conditions and allos the system to keep running under heavy load as per normal.

2010-09-10execve: make responsive to SIGKILL with large argumentsRoland McGrath1-0/+7
An execve with a very large total of argument/environment strings can take a really long time in the execve system call. It runs uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings. This change makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL. Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending(). It would be perfectly correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending(). We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.

2010-09-10execve: improve interactivity with large argumentsRoland McGrath1-0/+2
This adds a preemption point during the copying of the argument and environment strings for execve, in copy_strings(). There is already a preemption point in the count() loop, so this doesn't add any new points in the abstract sense. When the total argument+environment strings are very large, the time spent copying them can be much more than a normal user time slice. So this change improves the interactivity of the rest of the system when one process is doing an execve with very large arguments.

2010-09-10setup_arg_pages: diagnose excessive argument sizeRoland McGrath1-0/+5
The CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN variant of setup_arg_pages() does not check the size of the argument/environment area on the stack. When it is unworkably large, shift_arg_pages() hits its BUG_ON. This is exploitable with a very large RLIMIT_STACK limit, to create a crash pretty easily. Check that the initial stack is not too large to make it possible to map in any executable. We're not checking that the actual executable (or intepreter, for binfmt_elf) will fit. So those mappings might clobber part of the initial stack mapping. But that is just userland lossage that userland made happen, not a kernel problem.

2010-09-10drm/i915: don't enable self-refresh on IronlakeJesse Barnes2-2/+12
We don't know how to enable it safely, especially as outputs turn on and off. When disabling LP1 we also need to make sure LP2 and 3 are already disabled.

2010-09-10xfs: prevent reading uninitialized stack memoryDan Rosenberg1-0/+2
The XFS_IOC_FSGETXATTR ioctl allows unprivileged users to read 12 bytes of uninitialized stack memory, because the fsxattr struct declared on the stack in xfs_ioc_fsgetxattr() does not alter (or zero) the 12-byte fsx_pad member before copying it back to the user. This patch takes care of it. Signed-off-by: Dan Rosenberg <dan.j.rosenberg@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>

2010-09-10AT91: at91sam9261ek board: remove warnings related to use of SPI or SD/MMCNicolas Ferre1-11/+19
The sd/mmc data structure is not used if SPI is selected. The configuration of PIO on the board prevent from using both interfaces at the same time (board dependent). Remove the warnings at compilation time adding a preprocessor condition. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com>

2010-09-10block: Range check cpu in blk_cpu_to_groupBrian King1-2/+6
While testing CPU DLPAR, the following problem was discovered. We were DLPAR removing the first CPU, which in this case was logical CPUs 0-3. CPUs 0-2 were already marked offline and we were in the process of offlining CPU 3. After marking the CPU inactive and offline in cpu_disable, but before the cpu was completely idle (cpu_die), we ended up in __make_request on CPU 3. There we looked at the topology map to see which CPU to complete the I/O on and found no CPUs in the cpu_sibling_map. This resulted in the block layer setting the completion cpu to be NR_CPUS, which then caused an oops when we tried to complete the I/O. Fix this by sanity checking the value we return from blk_cpu_to_group to be a valid cpu value. Signed-off-by: Brian King <brking@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
