2009-12-10compat_ioctl: inline all conversion handlersArnd Bergmann1-54/+81
This makes all ioctl conversion handlers called from a single switch statement, leaving only COMPATIBLE_IOCTL and ULONG_IOCTL statements in the table. This is somewhat more space efficient and also lets us simplify the handling of the lookup table significantly. before: text data bss dec hex filename 7619 14024 2080 23723 5cab obj/fs/compat_ioctl.o after: 7567 13352 2080 22999 59d7 obj/fs/compat_ioctl.o Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2009-12-10compat_ioctl: Remove BKLArnd Bergmann1-2/+0
We have always called ioctl conversion handlers under the big kernel lock, although that is generally not necessary. In particular it is not needed for conversion of data structures and for calling sys_ioctl or do_vfs_ioctl, which will get the BKL again if needed. Handlers doing more than those two have been moved out, so we can kill off the BKL from compat_sys_ioctl. This may significantly improve latencies with 32 bit applications, and it avoids a common scenario where a thread acquires the BKL twice.

2009-12-10compat_ioctl: remove all VT ioctl handlingArnd Bergmann1-187/+1
The VT driver now handles all of these ioctls directly, so we can remove the handlers from common code. These are the only handlers that require the BKL because they directly perform the ioctl action rather than just converting the data structures. Once they are gone, we can remove the BKL from the remaining ioctl conversion handlers.

For FS_IOC_RESVSP and FS_IOC_RESVSP64 compat_sys_ioctl() uses its arg argument as a pointer to userspace. However it is missing a a call to compat_ptr() which will do a proper pointer conversion.

2009-11-06compat: move sockios handling to net/socket.cArnd Bergmann1-722/+0
This removes the original socket compat_ioctl code from fs/compat_ioctl.c and converts the code from the copy in net/socket.c into a single function. We add a few cycles of runtime to compat_sock_ioctl() with the long switch() statement, but gain some cycles in return by simplifying the call chain to get there. Due to better inlining, save 1.5kb of object size in the process, and enable further savings: before: text data bss dec hex filename 13540 18008 2080 33628 835c obj/fs/compat_ioctl.o 14565 636 40 15241 3b89 obj/net/socket.o after: text data bss dec hex filename 8916 15176 2080 26172 663c obj/fs/compat_ioctl.o 20725 636 40 21401 5399 obj/net/socket.o Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-11-06net, compat_ioctl: handle socket ioctl abuses in tty driversArnd Bergmann1-2/+0
Slip and a few other drivers use the same ioctl numbers on tty devices that are normally meant for sockets. This causes problems with our compat_ioctl handling that tries to convert the data structures in a different format. Fortunately, these five drivers all use 32 bit compatible data structures in the ioctl numbers, so we can just add a trivial compat_ioctl conversion function to each of them. SIOCSIFENCAP and SIOCGIFENCAP do not need to live in fs/compat_ioctl.c after this any more, and they are not used on any sockets. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-11-06net/tun: handle compat_ioctl directlyArnd Bergmann1-20/+0
The tun driver is the only code in the kernel that operates on a character device with struct ifreq. Change the driver to handle the conversion itself so we can contain the remaining ifreq handling in the socket layer. This also fixes a bug in the handling of invalid ioctl numbers on an unbound tun device. The driver treats this as a TUNSETIFF in native mode, but there is no way for the generic compat_ioctl() function to emulate this behaviour. Possibly the driver was only doing this accidentally anyway, but if any code relies on this misfeature, it now also works in compat mode.

2009-08-07compat_ioctl: hook up compat handler for FIEMAP ioctlEric Sandeen1-0/+1
The FIEMAP_IOC_FIEMAP mapping ioctl was missing a 32-bit compat handler, which means that 32-bit suerspace on 64-bit kernels cannot use this ioctl command. The structure is nicely aligned, padded, and sized, so it is just this simple. Tested w/ 32-bit ioctl tester (from Josef) on a 64-bit kernel on ext4.

2009-02-05tun: Limit amount of queued packets per deviceHerbert Xu1-0/+2
Unlike a normal socket path, the tuntap device send path does not have any accounting. This means that the user-space sender may be able to pin down arbitrary amounts of kernel memory by continuing to send data to an end-point that is congested. Even when this isn't an issue because of limited queueing at most end points, this can also be a problem because its only response to congestion is packet loss. That is, when those local queues at the end-point fills up, the tuntap device will start wasting system time because it will continue to send data there which simply gets dropped straight away. Of course one could argue that everybody should do congestion control end-to-end, unfortunately there are people in this world still hooked on UDP, and they don't appear to be going away anywhere fast. In fact, we've always helped them by performing accounting in our UDP code, the sole purpose of which is to provide congestion feedback other than through packet loss. This patch attempts to apply the same bandaid to the tuntap device. It creates a pseudo-socket object which is used to account our packets just as a normal socket does for UDP. Of course things are a little complex because we're actually reinjecting traffic back into the stack rather than out of the stack. The stack complexities however should have been resolved by preceding patches. So this one can simply start using skb_set_owner_w. For now the accounting is essentially disabled by default for backwards compatibility. In particular, we set the cap to INT_MAX. This is so that existing applications don't get confused by the sudden arrival EAGAIN errors. In future we may wish (or be forced to) do this by default.

- Push the BKL down into the line disciplines - Switch the tty layer to unlocked_ioctl - Introduce a new ctrl_lock spin lock for the control bits - Eliminate much of the lock_kernel use in n_tty - Prepare to (but don't yet) call the drivers with the lock dropped on the paths that historically held the lock BKL now primarily protects open/close/ldisc change in the tty layer [jirislaby@gmail.com: a couple of fixes] Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-02-14d_path: Make d_path() use a struct pathJan Blunck1-1/+1
d_path() is used on a <dentry,vfsmount> pair. Lets use a struct path to reflect this.

2008-02-07VFS: swap do_ioctl and vfs_ioctl namesErez Zadok1-1/+1
Rename old vfs_ioctl to do_ioctl, because the comment above it clearly indicates that it is an internal function not to be exported to modules; therefore it should have a more traditional do_XXX name. The new do_ioctl is exported in fs.h but not to modules. Rename the old do_ioctl to vfs_ioctl because the names vfs_XXX should preferably be reserved to callable VFS functions which modules may call, as many other vfs_XXX functions already do. Export the new vfs_ioctl to GPL modules so others can use it (including Unionfs and eCryptfs). Add DocBook for new vfs_ioctl.

2008-01-06fix: using joysticks in 32 bit applications on 64 bit systemsAkos Maroy1-0/+8
unfortunately 32 bit apps don't see the joysticks on a 64 bit system. this prevents one playing X-Plane (http://www.x-plane.com/) or other 32-bit games with joysticks. this is a known issue, and already raised several times: http://readlist.com/lists/vger.kernel.org/linux-kernel/28/144411.html http://www.brettcsmith.org/wiki/wiki.cgi?action=browse&diff=1&id=OzyComputer/Joystick unfortunately this is still not fixed in the mainline kernel. it would be nice to have this fixed, so that people can play these games without having to patch their kernel. the following patch solves the problem on 2.6.22.
