2010-07-16PCI: fall back to original BIOS BAR addressesBjorn Helgaas
If we fail to assign resources to a PCI BAR, this patch makes us try the original address from BIOS rather than leaving it disabled. Linux tries to make sure all PCI device BARs are inside the upstream PCI host bridge or P2P bridge apertures, reassigning BARs if necessary. Windows does similar reassignment. Before this patch, if we could not move a BAR into an aperture, we left the resource unassigned, i.e., at address zero. Windows leaves such BARs at the original BIOS addresses, and this patch makes Linux do the same. This is a bit ugly because we disable the resource long before we try to reassign it, so we have to keep track of the BIOS BAR address somewhere. For lack of a better place, I put it in the struct pci_dev. I think it would be cleaner to attempt the assignment immediately when the claim fails, so we could easily remember the original address. But we currently claim motherboard resources in the middle, after attempting to claim PCI resources and before assigning new PCI resources, and changing that is a fairly big job.

2010-07-16rlimits: implement prlimit64 syscallJiri Slaby
This patch adds the code to support the sys_prlimit64 syscall which modifies-and-returns the rlim values of a selected process atomically. The first parameter, pid, being 0 means current process. Unlike the current implementation, it is a generic interface, architecture indepentent so that we needn't handle compat stuff anymore. In the future, after glibc start to use this we can deprecate sys_setrlimit and sys_getrlimit in favor to clean up the code finally. It also adds a possibility of changing limits of other processes. We check the user's permissions to do that and if it succeeds, the new limits are propagated online. This is good for large scale applications such as SAP or databases where administrators need to change limits time by time (e.g. on crashes increase core size). And it is unacceptable to restart the service. For safety, all rlim users now either use accessors or doesn't need them due to - locking - the fact a process was just forked and nobody else knows about it yet (and nobody can't thus read/write limits) hence it is safe to modify limits now. The limitation is that we currently stay at ulong internal representation. So the rlim64_is_infinity check is used where value is compared against ULONG_MAX on 32-bit which is the maximum value there. And since internally the limits are held in struct rlimit, converters which are used before and after do_prlimit call in sys_prlimit64 are introduced. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz>
2010-07-16rlimits: redo do_setrlimit to more generic do_prlimitJiri Slaby
It now allows also reading of limits. I.e. all read and writes will later use this function. It takes two parameters, new and old limits which can be both NULL. If new is non-NULL, the value in it is set to rlimits. If old is non-NULL, current rlimits are stored there. If both are non-NULL, old are stored prior to setting the new ones, atomically. (Similar to sigaction.) Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz>
2010-07-16rlimits: add rlimit64 structureJiri Slaby

2010-07-16rlimits: split sys_setrlimitJiri Slaby
Create do_setrlimit from sys_setrlimit and declare do_setrlimit in the resource header. This is the first phase to have generic do_prlimit which allows to be called from read, write and compat rlimits code. The new do_setrlimit also accepts a task pointer to change the limits of. Currently, it cannot be other than current, but this will change with locking later. Also pass tsk->group_leader to security_task_setrlimit to check whether current is allowed to change rlimits of the process and not its arbitrary thread because it makes more sense given that rlimit are per process and not per-thread.

2010-07-15Input: introduce MT event slotsHenrik Rydberg
With the rapidly increasing number of intelligent multi-contact and multi-user devices, the need to send digested, filtered information from a set of different sources within the same device is imminent. This patch adds the concept of slots to the MT protocol. The slots enumerate a set of identified sources, such that all MT events can be passed independently and selectively per identified source. The protocol works like this: Instead of sending a SYN_MT_REPORT event immediately after the contact data, one sends an ABS_MT_SLOT event immediately before the contact data. The input core will only emit events for slots with modified MT events. It is assumed that the same slot is used for the duration of an initiated contact.

2010-07-15jbd2/ocfs2: Fix block checksumming when a buffer is used in several transactionsJan Kara
OCFS2 uses t_commit trigger to compute and store checksum of the just committed blocks. When a buffer has b_frozen_data, checksum is computed for it instead of b_data but this can result in an old checksum being written to the filesystem in the following scenario: 1) transaction1 is opened 2) handle1 is opened 3) journal_access(handle1, bh) - This sets jh->b_transaction to transaction1 4) modify(bh) 5) journal_dirty(handle1, bh) 6) handle1 is closed 7) start committing transaction1, opening transaction2 8) handle2 is opened 9) journal_access(handle2, bh) - This copies off b_frozen_data to make it safe for transaction1 to commit. jh->b_next_transaction is set to transaction2. 10) jbd2_journal_write_metadata() checksums b_frozen_data 11) the journal correctly writes b_frozen_data to the disk journal 12) handle2 is closed - There was no dirty call for the bh on handle2, so it is never queued for any more journal operation 13) Checkpointing finally happens, and it just spools the bh via normal buffer writeback. This will write b_data, which was never triggered on and thus contains a wrong (old) checksum. This patch fixes the problem by calling the trigger at the moment data is frozen for journal commit - i.e., either when b_frozen_data is created by do_get_write_access or just before we write a buffer to the log if b_frozen_data does not exist. We also rename the trigger to t_frozen as that better describes when it is called.

2010-07-15netfilter: add CHECKSUM targetMichael S. Tsirkin
This adds a `CHECKSUM' target, which can be used in the iptables mangle table. You can use this target to compute and fill in the checksum in a packet that lacks a checksum. This is particularly useful, if you need to work around old applications such as dhcp clients, that do not work well with checksum offloads, but don't want to disable checksum offload in your device. The problem happens in the field with virtualized applications. For reference, see Red Hat bz 605555, as well as http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg37660.html Typical expected use (helps old dhclient binary running in a VM): iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -p udp --dport bootpc \ -j CHECKSUM --checksum-fill Includes fixes by Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de> Signed-off-by: Michael S.

This patch moves NFULNL_COPY_PACKET definition from linux/netfilter/nfnetlink_log.h to net/netfilter/nfnetlink_log.h since this copy mode is only for internal use. I have also changed the value from 0x03 to 0xff. Thus, we avoid a gap from user-space that may confuse users if we add new copy modes in the future. This change was introduced in: http://www.spinics.net/lists/netfilter-devel/msg13535.html Since this change is not included in any stable Linux kernel, I think it's safe to make this change now. Anyway, this copy mode does not make any sense from user-space, so this patch should not break any existing setup.

2010-07-13firewire: core: integrate software-forced bus resets with bus managementStefan Richter
Bus resets which are triggered - by the kernel drivers after updates of the local nodes' config ROM, - by userspace software via ioctl shall be deferred until after >=2 seconds after the last bus reset. If multiple modifications of the local nodes' config ROM happen in a row, only a single bus reset should happen after them. When the local node's link goes from inactive to active or vice versa, and at the two occasions of bus resets mentioned above --- and if the current gap count differs from 63 --- the bus reset should be preceded by a PHY configuration packet that reaffirms the gap count. Otherwise a bus manager would have to reset the bus again right after that. This is necessary to promote bus stability, e.g. leave grace periods for allocations and reallocations of isochronous channels and bandwidth, SBP-2 reconnections etc.; see IEEE 1394 clause 8.2.1. This change implements all of the above by moving bus reset initiation into a delayed work (except for bus resets which are triggered by the bus manager workqueue job and are performed there immediately). It comes with a necessary addition to the card driver methods that allows to get the current gap count from PHY registers. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2010-07-09net: Get rid of rtnl_link_stats64 / net_device_stats unionBen Hutchings
In commit be1f3c2c027cc5ad735df6a45a542ed1db7ec48b "net: Enable 64-bit net device statistics on 32-bit architectures" I redefined struct net_device_stats so that it could be used in a union with struct rtnl_link_stats64, avoiding the need for explicit copying or conversion between the two. However, this is unsafe because there is no locking required and no lock consistently held around calls to dev_get_stats() and use of the statistics structure it returns. In commit 28172739f0a276eb8d6ca917b3974c2edb036da3 "net: fix 64 bit counters on 32 bit arches" Eric Dumazet dealt with that problem by requiring callers of dev_get_stats() to provide storage for the result. This means that the net_device::stats64 field and the padding in struct net_device_stats are now redundant, so remove them. Update the comment on net_device_ops::ndo_get_stats64 to reflect its new usage. Change dev_txq_stats_fold() to use struct rtnl_link_stats64, since that is what all its callers are really using and it is no longer going to be compatible with struct net_device_stats. Eric Dumazet suggested the separate function for the structure conversion.

When physical address higher than 32-bit is passed to ioremap(), higher 32-bits in physical address is cleared wrongly. Due to this bug, ioremap() can map wrong address to linear address space. In my case, 64-bit MMIO region was assigned to a PCI device (ioat device) on my system.

There is a small possibility that a reader gets incorrect values on 32 bit arches. SNMP applications could catch incorrect counters when a 32bit high part is changed by another stats consumer/provider. One way to solve this is to add a rtnl_link_stats64 param to all ndo_get_stats64() methods, and also add such a parameter to dev_get_stats(). Rule is that we are not allowed to use dev->stats64 as a temporary storage for 64bit stats, but a caller provided area (usually on stack) Old drivers (only providing get_stats() method) need no changes.

This patch introduces 3 VFS accessors: 'sb_mark_dirty()', 'sb_mark_clean()', and 'sb_is_dirty()'. They simply set 'sb->s_dirt' or test 'sb->s_dirt'. The plan is to make every FS use these accessors later instead of manipulating the 'sb->s_dirt' flag directly.

2010-07-06sunrpc: make the cache cleaner workqueue deferrableArtem Bityutskiy
This patch makes the cache_cleaner workqueue deferrable, to prevent unnecessary system wake-ups, which is very important for embedded battery-powered devices. do_cache_clean() is called every 30 seconds at the moment, and often makes the system wake up from its power-save sleep state. With this change, when the workqueue uses a deferrable timer, the do_cache_clean() invocation will be delayed and combined with the closest "real" wake-up. This improves the power consumption situation. Note, I tried to create a DECLARE_DELAYED_WORK_DEFERRABLE() helper macro, similar to DECLARE_DELAYED_WORK(), but failed because of the way the timer wheel core stores the deferrable flag (it is the LSBit in the time->base pointer). My attempt to define a static variable with this bit set ended up with the "initializer element is not constant" error. Thus, I have to use run-time initialization, so I created a new cache_initialize() function which is called once when sunrpc is being initialized.

Second use a real completion for tracking synchronous requests - if the caller sets the completion pointer we complete it, otherwise use it as a boolean indicator that we can free the work item directly. Third unify struct wb_writeback_args and struct bdi_work into a single data structure, wb_writeback_work. Previous we set all parameters into a struct wb_writeback_args, copied it into struct bdi_work, copied it again on the stack to use it there. Instead of just allocate one structure dynamically or on the stack and use it all the way through the stack.

2010-07-06writeback: split writeback_inodes_wbChristoph Hellwig
The case where we have a superblock doesn't require a loop here as we scan over all inodes in writeback_sb_inodes. Split it out into a separate helper to make the code simpler. This also allows to get rid of the sb member in struct writeback_control, which was rather out of place there. Also update the comments in writeback_sb_inodes that explain the handling of inodes from wrong superblocks.

2010-07-06writeback: remove writeback_inodes_wbcChristoph Hellwig
This was just an odd wrapper around writeback_inodes_wb. Removing this also allows to get rid of the bdi member of struct writeback_control which was rather out of place there. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
2010-07-05net: Fix definition of netif_vdbg() when VERBOSE_DEBUG is definedBen Hutchings
netif_vdbg() was originally defined as entirely equivalent to netdev_vdbg(), but I assume that it was intended to take the same parameters as netif_dbg() etc. (Currently it is only used by the sfc driver, in which I worked on that assumption.) In commit a4ed89c I changed the definition used when VERBOSE_DEBUG is not defined, but I failed to notice that the definition used when VERBOSE_DEBUG is defined was also not as I expected. Change that to match netif_dbg() as well. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-07-05of/i2c: Generalize OF supportGrant Likely
This patch cleans up the i2c OF support code to make it selectable by all architectures and allow for automatic registration of i2c devices. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
2010-07-05of/device: Move struct of_device define outside of CONFIG_OF_DEVICE testGrant Likely
Some code uses of_device even when CONFIG_OF_DEVICE is not set. This patch makes of_device valid all the time by moving it outside of the ifdef CONFIG_OF_DEVICE test.

2010-07-05of/device: Add OF style matching helper functionGrant Likely
Add of_driver_match_device() helper function. This function can be used by bus types to determine if a driver works with a device when using OF style matching. If CONFIG_OF is unselected, then it is a nop.
