2010-07-28fsnotify: include data in should_send callsEric Paris
fanotify is going to need to look at file->private_data to know if an event should be sent or not. This passes the data (which might be a file, dentry, inode, or none) to the should_send function calls so fanotify can get that information when available Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: provide the data type to should_send_eventEric Paris
fanotify is only interested in event types which contain enough information to open the original file in the context of the fanotify listener. Since fanotify may not want to send events if that data isn't present we pass the data type to the should_send_event function call so fanotify can express its lack of interest.

2010-07-28fsnotify: allow addition of duplicate fsnotify marksEric Paris
This patch allows a task to add a second fsnotify mark to an inode for the same group. This mark will be added to the end of the inode's list and this will never be found by the stand fsnotify_find_mark() function. This is useful if a user wants to add a new mark before removing the old one. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2010-07-27ks8842: Support DMA when accessed via timberdaleRichard Röjfors
This patch adds support for RX and TX DMA via the DMA API, this is only supported when the KS8842 is accessed via timberdale. There is no support for DMA on the generic bus interface it self, a state machine inside the FPGA is handling RX and TX transfers to/from buffers in the FPGA. The host CPU can do DMA to and from these buffers. The FPGA has to handle the RX interrupts, so these must be enabled in the ks8842 but not in the FPGA. The driver must not disable the RX interrupt that would mean that the data transfers into the FPGA buffers would stop. The host shall not enable TX interrupts since TX is handled by the FPGA, the host is notified by DMA callbacks when transfers are finished. Which DMA channels to use are added as parameters in the platform data struct. Signed-off-by: Richard Röjfors <richard.rojfors@pelagicore.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-07-24sysfs: add attribute to indicate hw address assignment typeStefan Assmann
Add addr_assign_type to struct net_device and expose it via sysfs. This new attribute has the purpose of giving user-space the ability to distinguish between different assignment types of MAC addresses. For example user-space can treat NICs with randomly generated MAC addresses differently than NICs that have permanent (locally assigned) MAC addresses. For the former udev could write a persistent net rule by matching the device path instead of the MAC address. There's also the case of devices that 'steal' MAC addresses from slave devices. In which it is also be beneficial for user-space to be aware of the fact. This patch also introduces a helper function to assist adoption of drivers that generate MAC addresses randomly.

Commit 2a6b69765ad794389f2fc3e14a0afa1a995221c2 (ACPI: Store NVS state even when entering suspend to RAM) caused the ACPI suspend code save the NVS area during suspend and restore it during resume unconditionally, although it is known that some systems need to use acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs for hibernation to work. To allow the affected systems to avoid saving and restoring the NVS area during suspend to RAM and resume, introduce kernel command line option acpi_sleep=nonvs and make acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs work as its alias temporarily (add acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs to the feature removal file).

2010-07-24of: Merge of_platform_bus_type with platform_bus_typeGrant Likely
of_platform_bus was being used in the same manner as the platform_bus. The only difference being that of_platform_bus devices are generated from data in the device tree, and platform_bus devices are usually statically allocated in platform code. Having them separate causes the problem of device drivers having to be registered twice if it was possible for the same device to appear on either bus. This patch removes of_platform_bus_type and registers all of_platform bus devices and drivers on the platform bus instead. A previous patch made the of_device structure an alias for the platform_device structure, and a shim is used to adapt of_platform_drivers to the platform bus. After all of of_platform_bus drivers are converted to be normal platform drivers, the shim code can be removed. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Acked-by: David S.

2010-07-23firewire: cdev: improve FW_CDEV_IOC_ALLOCATEStefan Richter
In both the ieee1394 stack and the firewire stack, the core treats kernelspace drivers better than userspace drivers when it comes to CSR address range allocation: The former may request a register to be placed automatically at a free spot anywhere inside a specified address range. The latter may only request a register at a fixed offset. Hence, userspace drivers which do not require a fixed offset potentially need to implement a retry loop with incremented offset in each retry until the kernel does not fail allocation with EBUSY. This awkward procedure is not fundamentally necessary as the core already provides a superior allocation API to kernelspace drivers. Therefore change the ioctl() ABI by addition of a region_end member in the existing struct fw_cdev_allocate. Userspace and kernelspace APIs work the same way now. There is a small cost to pay by clients though: If client source code is required to compile with older kernel headers too, then any use of the new member fw_cdev_allocate.region_end needs to be enclosed by #ifdef/#endif directives. However, any client program that seriously wants to use address range allocations will require a kernel of cdev ABI version >= 4 at runtime and a linux/firewire-cdev.h header of >= 4 anyway. This is because v4 brings FW_CDEV_EVENT_REQUEST2. The only client program in which build-time compatibility with struct fw_cdev_allocate as found in older kernel headers makes sense is libraw1394. (libraw1394 uses the older broken FW_CDEV_EVENT_REQUEST to implement a makeshift, incorrect transaction responder that does at least work somewhat in many simple scenarios, relying on guesswork by libraw1394 and by libraw1394 based applications. Plus, address range allocation and transaction responder is only one of many features that libraw1394 needs to provide, and these other features need to work with kernel and kernel-headers as old as possible. Any new linux/firewire-cdev.h based client that implements a transaction responder should never attempt to do it like libraw1394; instead it should make a header and kernel of v4 or later a hard requirement.) While we are at it, update the struct fw_cdev_allocate documentation to better reflect the recent fw_cdev_event_request2 ABI addition. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2010-07-23firewire: cdev: add PHY pingingStefan Richter
This extends the FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_PHY_PACKET ioctl() for /dev/fw* to be useful for ping time measurements. One application for it would be gap count optimization in userspace that is based on ping times rather than hop count. (The latter is implemented in firewire-core itself but is not applicable to beta PHYs that act as repeater.) Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2010-07-23firewire: cdev: add PHY packet receptionStefan Richter
Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_RECEIVE_PHY_PACKETS ioctl() and FW_CDEV_EVENT_PHY_PACKET_RECEIVED poll()/read() event for /dev/fw*. This can be used to get information from remote PHYs by remote access PHY packets. This is also the 2nd half of the functionality (the receive part) to support a userspace implementation of a VersaPHY transaction layer. Safety considerations: - PHY packets are generally broadcasts, hence some kind of elevated privileges should be required of a process to be able to listen in on PHY packets. This implementation assumes that a process that is allowed to open the /dev/fw* of a local node does have this privilege. There was an inconclusive discussion about introducing POSIX capabilities as a means to check for user privileges for these kinds of operations. Other limitations: - PHY packet reception may be switched on by ioctl() but cannot be switched off again. It would be trivial to provide an off switch, but this is not worth the code. The client should simply close() the fd then, or just ignore further events. - For sake of simplicity of API and kernel-side implementation, no filter per packet content is provided. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2010-07-23firewire: cdev: add PHY packet transmissionStefan Richter
Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_PHY_PACKET ioctl() for /dev/fw* which can be used to implement bus management related functionality in userspace. This is also half of the functionality (the transmit part) that is needed to support a userspace implementation of a VersaPHY transaction layer. Safety considerations: - PHY packets are generally broadcasts and may have interesting effects on PHYs and the bus, e.g. make asynchronous arbitration impossible due to too low gap count. Hence some kind of elevated privileges should be required of a process to be able to send PHY packets. This implementation assumes that a process that is allowed to open the /dev/fw* of a local node does have this privilege. There was an inconclusive discussion about introducing POSIX capabilities as a means to check for user privileges for these kinds of operations. - The kernel does not check integrity of the supplied packet data. That would be far too much code, considering the many kinds of PHY packets. A process which got the privilege to send these packets is trusted to do it correctly. Just like with the other "send packet" ioctls, a non-blocking API is chosen; i.e. the ioctl may return even before AT DMA started. After transmission, an event for poll()/read() is enqueued. Most users are going to need a blocking API, but a blocking userspace wrapper is easy to implement, and the second of the two existing libraw1394 calls raw1394_phy_packet_write() and raw1394_start_phy_packet_write() can be better supported that way.

Bus resets: - Note that FW_CDEV_IOC_INITIATE_BUS_RESET is nonblocking and that the client is not required to observe a grace period since kernels 2.6.36+ will enforce it now (commit 02d37bed). - The possible values of fw_cdev_initiate_bus_reset.type are listed in the kerneldoc comment already. - Clarify that an application that uses FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR and FW_CDEV_IOC_REMOVE_DESCRIPTOR does not have to issue a bus reset. Isochronous I/O contexts: - At most one can be created per open file descriptor. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2010-07-23firewire: normalize status values in packet callbacksStefan Richter
core-transaction.c transmit_complete_callback() and close_transaction() expect packet callback status to be an ACK or RCODE, and ACKs get translated to RCODEs for transaction callbacks. An old comment on the packet callback API (been there from the initial submission of the stack) and the dummy_driver implementation of send_request/send_response deviated from this as they also included -ERRNO in the range of status values. Let's narrow status values down to ACK and RCODE to prevent surprises. RCODE_CANCELLED is chosen as the dummy_driver's RCODE as its meaning of "transaction timed out" comes closest to what happens when a transaction coincides with card removal.

2010-07-23netfilter: add xt_cpu matchEric Dumazet
In some situations a CPU match permits a better spreading of connections, or select targets only for a given cpu. With Remote Packet Steering or multiqueue NIC and appropriate IRQ affinities, we can distribute trafic on available cpus, per session. (all RX packets for a given flow is handled by a given cpu) Some legacy applications being not SMP friendly, one way to scale a server is to run multiple copies of them. Instead of randomly choosing an instance, we can use the cpu number as a key so that softirq handler for a whole instance is running on a single cpu, maximizing cache effects in TCP/UDP stacks. Using NAT for example, a four ways machine might run four copies of server application, using a separate listening port for each instance, but still presenting an unique external port : iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 0 \ -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 1 \ -j REDIRECT --to-port 8081 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 2 \ -j REDIRECT --to-port 8082 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 3 \ -j REDIRECT --to-port 8083 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2010-07-23quota: Use mark_inode_dirty_sync instead of mark_inode_dirtyJan Kara
Quota code never touches file data. It just modifies i_blocks + i_bytes of inodes and inode flags of quota files. So use mark_inode_dirty_sync instead of mark_inode_dirty. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
