2008-10-22hvc_console: Add support for tty window resizingHendrik Brueckner
The patch provides the hvc_resize() function to update the terminal window dimensions (struct winsize) for a specified hvc console. The function stores the new window size and schedules a function that finally updates the tty winsize and signals the change to user space (SIGWINCH). Because the winsize update must acquire a mutex and might sleep, the function is scheduled instead of being called from hvc_poll() or khvcd. This patch uses the tty_do_resize() routine from the tty layer. A pending resize work is canceled in hvc_close() and hvc_hangup().

2008-10-22hvc_console: Fix loop if put_char() returns 0Hendrik Brueckner
If put_char() routine of a hvc console backend returns 0, then the hvc console starts looping in the following scenarios: 1. hvc_console_print() If put_char() returns 0 then the while loop may loop forever. I have added the missing check for 0 to throw away console messages. 2. khvcd may loop: The thread calls hvc_poll() --> hvc_push()... if there are still buffered data then the HVC_POLL_WRITE bit is set and causes the khvcd thread to loop (if yield() returns immediately). However, instead of looping, the khvcd thread could sleep for MIN_TIMEOUT (doing the same as for get_chars()). The MIN_TIMEOUT is set if hvc_push() was not able to write data to the backend. If data has been written, the timeout is set to 0 to immediately re-schedule hvc_poll().

2008-10-22hvc_console: Add tty driver flag TTY_DRIVER_RESET_TERMIOSHendrik Brueckner
After a tty hangup() or close() operation, processes might not reset the termio settings to a sane state. In order to reset the termios to its default settings the tty driver flag TTY_DRIVER_RESET_TERMIOS has been added. TTY driver flag description from include/linux/tty_driver.h: TTY_DRIVER_RESET_TERMIOS --- requests the tty layer to reset the termios setting when the last process has closed the device.

2008-10-21tcp: should use number of sack blocks instead of -1Ilpo Järvinen
While looking for the recent "sack issue" I also read all eff_sacks usage that was played around by some relevant commit. I found out that there's another thing that is asking for a fix (unrelated to the "sack issue" though). This feature has probably very little significance in practice. Opposite direction timeout with bidirectional tcp comes to me as the most likely scenario though there might be other cases as well related to non-data segments we send (e.g., response to the opposite direction segment). Also some ACK losses or option space wasted for other purposes is necessary to prevent the earlier SACK feedback getting to the sender.

2008-10-22mfd: twl4030-gpio driverDavid Brownell
This adds basic support for the GPIOs in the twl4030 power management chip. That includes two open drain LED drivers, and the use of GPIO-0 (and GPIO-1) as MMC/SD card detect switches which can control whether the VMMC1 (and VMMC2) regulators are active.

Note that many of the pre-release Overo boards now in circulation can't effectively use this RTC, because of a wiring error that puts its TWL chip into "secure" mode.

2008-10-22mfd: twl4030 IRQ handling updateDavid Brownell
- Move it into a separate file; clean and streamline it - Restructure the init code for reuse during secondary dispatch - Support both levels (primary, secondary) of IRQ dispatch - Use a workqueue for irq mask/unmask and trigger configuration Code for two subchips currently share that secondary handler code. One is the power subchip; its IRQs are now handled by this core, courtesy of this patch. The other is the GPIO module, which will be supported through a later patch. There are also minor changes to the header file, mostly related to GPIO support; nothing yet in mainline cares about those. A few references to OMAP-specific symbols are disabled; when they can all be removed, the TWL4030 support ceases being OMAP-specific.

2008-10-22stop_machine: fix error code handling on multiple cpusHeiko Carstens
Using |= for updating a value which might be updated on several cpus concurrently will not always work since we need to make sure that the update happens atomically. To fix this just use a write if the called function returns an error code on a cpu. We end up writing the error code of an arbitrary cpu if multiple ones fail but that should be sufficient.

2008-10-22stop_machine: use workqueues instead of kernel threadsHeiko Carstens
Convert stop_machine to a workqueue based approach. Instead of using kernel threads for stop_machine we now use a an rt workqueue to synchronize all cpus. This has the advantage that all needed per cpu threads are already created when stop_machine gets called. And therefore a call to stop_machine won't fail anymore. This is needed for s390 which needs a mechanism to synchronize all cpus without allocating any memory. As Rusty pointed out free_module() needs a non-failing stop_machine interface as well. As a side effect the stop_machine code gets simplified. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-10-22workqueue: introduce create_rt_workqueueHeiko Carstens
create_rt_workqueue will create a real time prioritized workqueue. This is needed for the conversion of stop_machine to a workqueue based implementation. This patch adds yet another parameter to __create_workqueue_key to tell it that we want an rt workqueue. However it looks like we rather should have something like "int type" instead of singlethread, freezable and rt.

2008-10-22core_param() for genuinely core kernel parametersRusty Russell
There are a lot of one-liner uses of __setup() in the kernel: they're cumbersome and not queryable (definitely not settable) via /sys. Yet it's ugly to simplify them to module_param(), because by default that inserts a prefix of the module name (usually filename). So, introduce a "core_param". The parameter gets no prefix, but appears in /sys/module/kernel/parameters/ (if non-zero perms arg). I thought about using the name "core", but that's more common than "kernel". And if you create a module called "kernel", you will die a horrible death. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-10-22param: Fix duplicate module prefixesRusty Russell
Instead of insisting each new module_param sysfs entry is unique, handle the case where it already exists (for builtin modules). The current code assumes that all identical prefixes are together in the section: true for normal uses, but not necessarily so if someone overrides MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX. More importantly, it's not true with the new "core_param()" code which uses "kernel" as a prefix. This simplifies the caller for the builtin case, at a slight loss of efficiency (we do the lookup every time to see if the directory exists).

2008-10-22module: check kernel param length at compile time, not runtimeRusty Russell
The kparam code tries to handle over-length parameter prefixes at runtime. Not only would I bet this has never been tested, it's not clear that truncating names is a good idea either. So let's check at compile time. We need to move the #define to moduleparam.h to do this, though. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-10-22Remove stop_machine during module load v2Andi Kleen
Remove stop_machine during module load v2 module loading currently does a stop_machine on each module load to insert the module into the global module lists. Especially on larger systems this can be quite expensive. It does that to handle concurrent lock lessmodule list readers like kallsyms. I don't think stop_machine() is actually needed to insert something into a list though. There are no concurrent writers because the module mutex is taken. And the RCU list functions know how to insert a node into a list with the right memory ordering so that concurrent readers don't go off into the wood. So remove the stop_machine for the module list insert and just do a list_add_rcu() instead. Module removal will still do a stop_machine of course, it needs that for other reasons. v2: Revised readers based on Paul's comments. All readers that only rely on disabled preemption need to be changed to list_for_each_rcu(). Done that. The others are ok because they have the modules mutex. Also added a possible missing preempt disable for print_modules(). [cc Paul McKenney for review. It's not RCU, but quite similar.] Acked-by: Paul E.

commit fb02fbc14d17837b4b7b02dbb36142c16a7bf208 (NOHZ: restart tick device from irq_enter()) solves the problem of stale jiffies when long running softirqs happen in a long idle sleep period, but it has a major thinko in it: When the interrupt which came in _is_ the timer interrupt which should expire ts->sched_timer then we cancel and rearm the timer _before_ it gets expired in hrtimer_interrupt() to the next period. That means the call back function is not called. This game can go on for ever :( Prevent this by making sure to only rearm the timer when the expiry time is more than one tick_period away. Otherwise keep it running as it is either already expired or will expiry at the right point to update jiffies.

2008-10-21dm crypt: fix async splitMilan Broz
When writing io, dm-crypt has to allocate a new cloned bio and encrypt the data into newly-allocated pages attached to this bio. In rare cases, because of hw restrictions (e.g. physical segment limit) or memory pressure, sometimes more than one cloned bio has to be used, each processing a different fragment of the original. Currently there is one waitqueue which waits for one fragment to finish and continues processing the next fragment. But when using asynchronous crypto this doesn't work, because several fragments may be processed asynchronously or in parallel and there is only one crypt context that cannot be shared between the bio fragments. The result may be corruption of the data contained in the encrypted bio. The patch fixes this by allocating new dm_crypt_io structs (with new crypto contexts) and running them independently. The fragments contains a pointer to the base dm_crypt_io struct to handle reference counting, so the base one is properly deallocated after all the fragments are finished. In a low memory situation, this only uses one additional object from the mempool. If the mempool is empty, the next allocation simple waits for previous fragments to complete.

2008-10-21dm snapshot: fix primary_pe raceMikulas Patocka
Fix a race condition with primary_pe ref_count handling. put_pending_exception runs under dm_snapshot->lock, it does atomic_dec_and_test on primary_pe->ref_count, and later does atomic_read primary_pe->ref_count. __origin_write does atomic_dec_and_test on primary_pe->ref_count without holding dm_snapshot->lock. This opens the following race condition: Assume two CPUs, CPU1 is executing put_pending_exception (and holding dm_snapshot->lock). CPU2 is executing __origin_write in parallel. primary_pe->ref_count == 2. CPU1: if (primary_pe && atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count)) origin_bios = bio_list_get(&primary_pe->origin_bios); ... decrements primary_pe->ref_count to 1. Doesn't load origin_bios CPU2: if (first && atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count)) { flush_bios(bio_list_get(&primary_pe->origin_bios)); free_pending_exception(primary_pe); /* If we got here, pe_queue is necessarily empty. */ return r; } ... decrements primary_pe->ref_count to 0, submits pending bios, frees primary_pe. CPU1: if (!primary_pe || primary_pe != pe) free_pending_exception(pe); ... this has no effect. if (primary_pe && !atomic_read(&primary_pe->ref_count)) free_pending_exception(primary_pe); ... sees ref_count == 0 (written by CPU 2), does double free !! This bug can happen only if someone is simultaneously writing to both the origin and the snapshot. If someone is writing only to the origin, __origin_write will submit kcopyd request after it decrements primary_pe->ref_count (so it can't happen that the finished copy races with primary_pe->ref_count decrementation). If someone is writing only to the snapshot, __origin_write isn't invoked at all and the race can't happen. The race happens when someone writes to the snapshot --- this creates pending_exception with primary_pe == NULL and starts copying. Then, someone writes to the same chunk in the snapshot, and __origin_write races with termination of already submitted request in pending_complete (that calls put_pending_exception). This race may be reason for bugs: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11636 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465825 The patch fixes the code to make sure that: 1. If atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count) returns false, the process must no longer dereference primary_pe (because someone else may free it under us). 2. If atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count) returns true, the process is responsible for freeing primary_pe.

2008-10-21dm kcopyd: avoid queue shuffleKazuo Ito
Write throughput to LVM snapshot origin volume is an order of magnitude slower than those to LV without snapshots or snapshot target volumes, especially in the case of sequential writes with O_SYNC on. The following patch originally written by Kevin Jamieson and Jan Blunck and slightly modified for the current RCs by myself tries to improve the performance by modifying the behaviour of kcopyd, so that it pushes back an I/O job to the head of the job queue instead of the tail as process_jobs() currently does when it has to wait for free pages. This way, write requests aren't shuffled to cause extra seeks. I tested the patch against 2.6.27-rc5 and got the following results. The test is a dd command writing to snapshot origin followed by fsync to the file just created/updated. A couple of filesystem benchmarks gave me similar results in case of sequential writes, while random writes didn't suffer much. dd if=/dev/zero of=<somewhere on snapshot origin> bs=4096 count=... [conv=notrunc when updating] 1) linux 2.6.27-rc5 without the patch, write to snapshot origin, average throughput (MB/s) 10M 100M 1000M create,dd 511.46 610.72 11.81 create,dd+fsync 7.10 6.77 8.13 update,dd 431.63 917.41 12.75 update,dd+fsync 7.79 7.43 8.12 compared with write throughput to LV without any snapshots, all dd+fsync and 1000 MiB writes perform very poorly. 10M 100M 1000M create,dd 555.03 608.98 123.29 create,dd+fsync 114.27 72.78 76.65 update,dd 152.34 1267.27 124.04 update,dd+fsync 130.56 77.81 77.84 2) linux 2.6.27-rc5 with the patch, write to snapshot origin, average throughput (MB/s) 10M 100M 1000M create,dd 537.06 589.44 46.21 create,dd+fsync 31.63 29.19 29.23 update,dd 487.59 897.65 37.76 update,dd+fsync 34.12 30.07 26.85 Although still not on par with plain LV performance - cannot be avoided because it's copy on write anyway - this simple patch successfully improves throughtput of dd+fsync while not affecting the rest.

2008-10-21V4L/DVB (9333): cx88: Not all boards that requires cx88-mpeg has frontendsMauro Carvalho Chehab
The multifrontend changes on cx88 assumed that all boards that use cx88-mpeg supports DVB. This is not true. There also a few analog-only boards based on Blackboard design that also uses cx88-mpeg. For those boards, there's no need to allocate dvb frontends. This patch fixes videobuf allocation for those devices. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

2008-10-21V4L/DVB (9331): Remove unused inode parameter from video_ioctl2Mauro Carvalho Chehab
inode is never used on video_ioctl2. Remove it and rename the function to __video_ioctl2. This allows its usage directly as a callback at fops.unlocked_ioctl. Since we still need a callback with inode to be used with fops.ioctl, this patch adds video_ioctl2() that is just a call to __video_ioctl2(). Also, this patch adds some comments about video_ioctl2 and __video_ioctl2 usage at v4l2-ioctl.h. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
2008-10-21V4L/DVB (9330): Get rid of inode parameter at v4l_compat_translate_ioctl()Mauro Carvalho Chehab
The inode parameter at v4l_compat_translate_ioctl() were just passed over several places just to keep compatible with fops.ioctl. However, it weren't used anywere. This patch gets hid of this unused parameter. Cc: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@skynet.be> Cc: Mike Isely <isely@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
2008-10-21V4L/DVB (9328): ivtvfb: FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN turns off video outputIan Armstrong
When using FBIOBLANK, FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN will now switch off the video output. Since some televisions turn themselves off after a while with no signal, this is the closest we can get to power-saving.
