task_ppid_nr_ns is called in three places. One of these should never
have called it. In the other two, using it broke the existing
semantics. This was presumably accidental. If the function had not
been there, it would have been much more obvious to the eye that those
patches were changing the behavior. We don't need this function.
In task_state, the pid of the ptracer is not the ppid of the ptracer.
In do_task_stat, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid.
I also moved the call outside of lock_task_sighand, since it doesn't
need it.
In sys_getppid, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid.

ACPI and APM used "pm_active" to guarantee that
they would not be simultaneously active.
But pm_active was recently moved under CONFIG_PM_LEGACY,
so that without CONFIG_PM_LEGACY, pm_active became a NOP --
allowing ACPI and APM to both be simultaneously enabled.
This caused unpredictable results, including boot hangs.
Further, the code under CONFIG_PM_LEGACY is scheduled
for removal.
So replace pm_active with pm_flags.
pm_flags depends only on CONFIG_PM,
which is present for both CONFIG_APM and CONFIG_ACPI.

Create a bit to signal that a napi_disable() is in progress.
This sets up infrastructure such that net_rx_action() can generically
break out of the ->poll() loop on a NAPI context that has a pending
napi_disable() yet is being bombed with packets (and thus would
otherwise poll endlessly and not allow the napi_disable() to finish).
Now, what napi_disable() does is first set the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit
(to indicate that a disable is pending), then it polls for the
NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit, and once the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit is acquired
the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit is cleared. Here, the test_and_set_bit()
provides the necessary memory barrier between the various bitops.
napi_schedule_prep() now tests for a pending disable as it's first
action and won't try to obtain the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit if a disable
is pending.
As a result, we can remove the netif_running() check in
netif_rx_schedule_prep() because the NAPI disable pending state serves
this purpose. And, it does so in a NAPI centric manner which is what
we really want.

It is pointless, because everything that can make a device go away
will do a napi_disable() first.
The main impetus behind this is that now we can legally do a NAPI
completion in generic code like net_rx_action() which a following
changeset needs to do. net_rx_action() can only perform actions
in NAPI centric ways, because there may be a one to many mapping
between NAPI contexts and network devices (SKY2 is one example).
We also want to get rid of this because it's an extra atomic in the
NAPI paths, and also because it is one of the last instances where the
NAPI interfaces care about net devices.
The one remaining netdev detail the NAPI stuff cares about is the
netif_running() check which will be killed off in a subsequent
changeset.

Cleaning out all the incorrect 'no change made' checks for termios
settings showed up a problem with the PL2303. The hardware here seems to
lose sync and bits if you tell it to make no changes. This shows up with
a real world application.
To fix this the driver check for meaningful hardware changes is restored
but doing the tests correctly and as a tty layer function so it doesn't
get duplicated wrongly everywhere if other drivers turn out to need it.

make randconfig bootup testing found that the cpufreq code
crashes on bootup, if the powernow-k8 driver is enabled and
if maxcpus=1 passed on the boot line to a !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
kernel.
First lockdep found out that there's an inconsistent unlock
sequence:
=====================================
[ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
-------------------------------------
swapper/1 is trying to release lock (&per_cpu(cpu_policy_rwsem, cpu)) at:

but there are no more locks to release!

then shortly afterwards the cpufreq code crashed on an assert:

the bug was caused by maxcpus=1 bootup, which brought up the
secondary core as !cpu_online() but !cpu_is_offline() either,
which on on !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is always 0 (include/linux/cpu.h):
/* CPUs don't go offline once they're online w/o CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU */
static inline int cpu_is_offline(int cpu) { return 0; }
but the cpufreq code uses cpu_online() and cpu_is_offline() in
a mixed way - the low-level drivers use cpu_online(), while
the cpufreq core uses cpu_is_offline(). This opened up the
possibility to add the non-initialized sysdev device of the
secondary core:
cpufreq-core: trying to register driver powernow-k8
cpufreq-core: adding CPU 0
powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects
cpufreq-core: initialization failed
cpufreq-core: adding CPU 1
cpufreq-core: initialization failed
which then blew up. The fix is to make cpu_is_offline() always
the negation of cpu_online(). With that fix applied the kernel
boots up fine without crashing:
Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94()
powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ processors (1 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects
initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94() returned -19.
initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510 ran for 19 msecs: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94()
Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc328f: init_lapic_nmi_sysfs+0x0/0x39()
We could fix this by making CPU enumeration aware of max_cpus, but that
would be more fragile IMO, and the cpu_online(cpu) != cpu_is_offline(cpu)
possibility was quite confusing and a continuous source of bugs too.
Most distributions have kernels with CPU hotplug enabled, so this bug
remained hidden for a long time.
Bug forensics:
The broken cpu_is_offline() API variant was introduced via:
commit a59d2e4e6977e7b94e003c96a41f07e96cddc340
Author: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Date: Mon Mar 8 06:06:03 2004 -0800
[PATCH] minor cleanups for hotplug CPUs
( this predates linux-2.6.git, this commit is available from Thomas's
historic git tree. )
Then 1.5 years later the cpufreq code made use of it:
commit c32b6b8e524d2c337767d312814484d9289550cf
Author: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com>
Date: Sun Oct 30 14:59:54 2005 -0800
[PATCH] create and destroy cpufreq sysfs entries based on cpu notifiers
+ if (cpu_is_offline(cpu))
+ return 0;
which is a correct use of the subtly broken new API. v2.6.15 then
shipped with this bug included.
then it took two more years for random-kernel qa to hit it.

Both SLUB and SLAB really did almost exactly the same thing for
/proc/slabinfo setup, using duplicate code and per-allocator #ifdef's.
This just creates a common CONFIG_SLABINFO that is enabled by both SLUB

(PNP: increase the maximum number of resources)
increased PNP_MAX_PORT to 24 from 8.
It also added a test and a complaint when a
machine exceeded the limit, causing:
pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of IO resources: 24
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9535
We should have been squawking about this all along,
as this is a potentially serious issue.
For now, simply burn some dynamic bytes and
increase the limit by another 16 to 40.
There is no guarantee that this will satisfy
every system on Earth. It probably will not,
but it should be an improvement.
In the future, PNPACPI should allocate resource
structures as needed, rather than max-sized arrays.

overcommit sysctl (no dynamic pool) and non-0 in the overcommit sysctl

hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl
While examining the code to support /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_dynamic_pool, I
became convinced that having a boolean sysctl was insufficient:
1) To support per-node control of hugepages, I have previously submitted
patches to add a sysfs attribute related to nr_hugepages. However, with
a boolean global value and per-mount quota enforcement constraining the
dynamic pool, adding corresponding control of the dynamic pool on a
per-node basis seems inconsistent to me.
2) Administration of the hugetlb dynamic pool with multiple hugetlbfs
mount points is, arguably, more arduous than it needs to be. Each quota
would need to be set separately, and the sum would need to be monitored.
To ease the administration, and to help make the way for per-node
control of the static & dynamic hugepage pool, I added a separate
sysctl, nr_overcommit_hugepages. This value serves as a high watermark
for the overall hugepage pool, while nr_hugepages serves as a low
watermark. The boolean sysctl can then be removed, as the condition
nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0
indicates the same administrative setting as
hugetlb_dynamic_pool == 1
Quotas still serve as local enforcement of the size of the pool on a
per-mount basis.
A few caveats:
1) There is a race whereby the global surplus huge page counter is
incremented before a hugepage has allocated. Another process could then
try grow the pool, and fail to convert a surplus huge page to a normal
huge page and instead allocate a fresh huge page. I believe this is
benign, as no memory is leaked (the actual pages are still tracked
correctly) and the counters won't go out of sync.
2) Shrinking the static pool while a surplus is in effect will allow the
number of surplus huge pages to exceed the overcommit value. As long as
this condition holds, however, no more surplus huge pages will be
allowed on the system until one of the two sysctls are increased
sufficiently, or the surplus huge pages go out of use and are freed.
Successfully tested on x86_64 with the current libhugetlbfs snapshot,
modified to use the new sysctl.

With ATAPI transfer chunk size properly programmed, libata PIO HSM
should be able to handle full spurious data chunks. Also, it's a good
idea to suppress trailing data warning for misc ATAPI commands as
there can be many of them per command - for example, if the chunk size
is 16 and the drive tries to transfer 510 bytes, there can be 31
trailing data messages.
This patch makes the following updates to libata ATAPI PIO HSM
implementation.
* Make it drain full spurious chunks.
* Suppress trailing data warning message for misc commands.
* Put limit on how many bytes can be drained.
* If odd, round up consumed bytes and the number of bytes to be
drained. This gets the number of bytes to drain right for drivers
which do 16bit PIO.
This patch is partial backport of improve-ATAPI-data-xfer patchset
pending for #upstream.

On certain implementations, _GTF evaluation depends on preceding _STM
and both can be pretty picky about the configuration. Using _GTM
result cached during controller initialization satisfies the most
neurotic _STM implementation. However, libata evaluates _GTF after
reset during device configuration and the hardware state can be
different from what _GTF expects and can cause evaluation failure.
This patch adds dev->gtf_cache and updates ata_dev_get_GTF() such that
it uses the cached value if available. Cache is cleared with a call
to ata_acpi_clear_gtf().
Because for SATA ACPI nodes _GTF must be evaluated after _SDD which
can't be done till IDENTIFY is complete, _GTF caching from
ata_acpi_on_resume() is used only for IDE ACPI nodes.

_GTM fetches currently configured transfer mode while _STM configures
controller according to _GTM parameter and prepares transfer mode
configuration TFs for _GTF. In many cases _GTM and _STM
implementations are quite brittle and can't cope with configuration
changed by libata.
libata does not depend on ATA ACPI to configure devices. The only
reason libata performs _GTM and _STM are to make _GTF evaluation
succeed and libata also doesn't care about how _GTF TFs configure
transfer mode. It overrides that configuration anyway, so from
libata's POV, it doesn't matter what value is feeded to _STM as long
as evaluation succeeds for _STM and following _GTF.
This patch adds dev->__acpi_init_gtm and store initial _GTM values on
host initialization before modified by reset and mode configuration.
If the field is valid, ata_acpi_init_gtm() returns pointer to the
saved _GTM structure; otherwise, NULL.
This saved value is used for _STM during resume and peek at
BIOS/firmware programmed initial timing for later use. The accessor
is there to make building w/o ACPI easy as dev->__acpi_init doesn't
exist if ACPI is not enabled.
On driver detach, the initial BIOS configuration is restored by
executing _STM with the initial _GTM values such that the next driver
can also use the initial BIOS configured values.

When a device cannot handle the smallest previously limited transfer
size (64 blocks) without stalling, limit the device to the amount of
packets that fit in a platform native page.
The lowest possible limit is PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, so if the device is ever
used on a platform that has larger than 8K pages, you lose unless you
can convince the device firmware folks to fix the issue.

tipar: remove obsolete module
The tipar character driver was used to implement bit-banging access
to Texas Instruments parallel link cable. A user-land method now
exists thru PPDEV & PARPORT.

As reported by Damien Thebault, the double POSTROUTING hook invocation
fix caused outgoing packets routed between two bridges to appear without
a link-layer header. The reason for this is that we're skipping the
br_nf_post_routing hook for routed packets now and don't save the
original link layer header, but nevertheless tries to restore it on
output, causing corruption.
The root cause for this is that skb->nf_bridge has no clearly defined
lifetime and is used to indicate all kind of things, but that is
quite complicated to fix. For now simply don't touch these packets
and handle them like packets from any other device.

* ide_xfer_verbose() fixups:
- beautify returned mode names
- fix PIO5 reporting
- make it return 'const char *'
* Change printk() level from KERN_DEBUG to KERN_INFO in ide_find_dma_mode().
* Add ide_id_dma_bug() helper based on ide_dma_verbose() to check for invalid
DMA info in identify block.
* Use ide_id_dma_bug() in ide_tune_dma() and ide_driveid_update().
As a result DMA won't be tuned or will be disabled after tuning if device
reports inconsistent info about enabled DMA mode (ide_dma_verbose() does the
same checks while the IDE device is probed by ide-{cd,disk} device driver).
* Remove no longer needed ide_dma_verbose().
This patch should fix the following problem with out-of-sync IDE messages
reported by Nick Warne:
hdd: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM DVD-R-RAM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache<7>hdd:
skipping word 93 validity check
, UDMA(66)
and later debugged by Mark Lord to be caused by:
ide_dma_verbose()
printk( ... "2048kB Cache");
eighty_ninty_three()
printk(KERN_DEBUG "%s: skipping word 93 validity check\n");
ide_dma_verbose()
printk(", UDMA(66)"
Please note that as a result ide-{cd,disk} device drivers won't report the
DMA speed used but this is intended since now DMA mode being used is always
reported by IDE core code.
v2:
* fixes suggested by Randy:
- use KERN_CONT for printk()-s in ide-{cd,disk}.c
- don't remove argument name from ide_xfer_verbose() declaration
v3:
* Remove incorrect check for (id->field_valid & 1) from ide_id_dma_bug()
(spotted by Sergei).
* "XFER SLOW" -> "PIO SLOW" in ide_xfer_verbose() (suggested by Sergei).
* Fix ide_find_dma_mode() to report the correct mode ('mode' after being
limited by 'req_mode').

This field and corresponding defines are simply never used anywhere
in the code. But its mere presence is enough to confuse some host
driver authors who attempt to rely on it. Let's eliminate the
possibility for confusion and remove it entirely.

The JMicron JMB38x chip doesn't support transfers that aren't 32-bit
aligned (both size and start address). It also doesn't like switching
between PIO and DMA mode, so it needs to be reset after each request.

Add new hash for balance-xor and 802.3ad modes. Originally
submitted by "Glenn Griffin" <ggriffin.kernel@gmail.com>; modified by
Jay Vosburgh to move setting of hash policy out of line, tweak the
documentation update and add version update to 3.2.2.
Glenn's original comment follows:
Included is a patch for a new xmit_hash_policy for the bonding driver
that selects slaves based on MAC and IP information. This is a middle
ground between what currently exists in the layer2 only policy and the
layer3+4 policy. This policy strives to be fully 802.3ad compliant by
transmitting every packet of any particular flow over the same link.
As documented the layer3+4 policy is not fully compliant for extreme
cases such as ip fragmentation, so this policy is a nice compromise
for environments that require full compliance but desire more than the
layer2 only policy.
