2011-04-25SECURITY: Move exec_permission RCU checks into security modulesAndi Kleen
Right now all RCU walks fall back to reference walk when CONFIG_SECURITY is enabled, even though just the standard capability module is active. This is because security_inode_exec_permission unconditionally fails RCU walks. Move this decision to the low level security module. This requires passing the RCU flags down the security hook. This way at least the capability module and a few easy cases in selinux/smack work with RCU walks with CONFIG_SECURITY=y Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2011-04-24SUNRPC: Allow RPC calls to return ETIMEDOUT instead of EIOTrond Myklebust
On occasion, it is useful for the NFS layer to distinguish between soft timeouts and other EIO errors due to (say) encoding errors, or authentication errors. The following patch ensures that the default behaviour of the RPC layer remains to return EIO on soft timeouts (until we have audited all the callers).

2011-04-24NFSv4.1: Don't loop forever in nfs4_proc_create_sessionTrond Myklebust
If a server for some reason keeps sending NFS4ERR_DELAY errors, we can end up looping forever inside nfs4_proc_create_session, and so the usual mechanisms for detecting if the nfs_client is dead don't work. Fix this by ensuring that we loop inside the nfs4_state_manager thread instead. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2011-04-24vfs: get rid of insane dentry hashing rulesLinus Torvalds
The dentry hashing rules have been really quite complicated for a long while, in odd ways. That made functions like __d_drop() very fragile and non-obvious. In particular, whether a dentry was hashed or not was indicated with an explicit DCACHE_UNHASHED bit. That's despite the fact that the hash abstraction that the dentries use actually have a 'is this entry hashed or not' model (which is a simple test of the 'pprev' pointer). The reason that was done is because we used the normal 'is this entry unhashed' model to mark whether the dentry had _ever_ been hashed in the dentry hash tables, and that logic goes back many years (commit b3423415fbc2: "dcache: avoid RCU for never-hashed dentries"). That, in turn, meant that __d_drop had totally different unhashing logic for the dentry hash table case and for the anonymous dcache case, because in order to use the "is this dentry hashed" logic as a flag for whether it had ever been on the RCU hash table, we had to unhash such a dentry differently so that we'd never think that it wasn't 'unhashed' and wouldn't be free'd correctly. That's just insane. It made the logic really hard to follow, when there were two different kinds of "unhashed" states, and one of them (the one that used "list_bl_unhashed()") really had nothing at all to do with being unhashed per se, but with a very subtle lifetime rule instead. So turn all of it around, and make it logical. Instead of having a DENTRY_UNHASHED bit in d_flags to indicate whether the dentry is on the hash chains or not, use the hash chain unhashed logic for that. Suddenly "d_unhashed()" just uses "list_bl_unhashed()", and everything makes sense. And for the lifetime rule, just use an explicit DENTRY_RCUACCEES bit. If we ever insert the dentry into the dentry hash table so that it is visible to RCU lookup, we mark it DENTRY_RCUACCESS to show that it now needs the RCU lifetime rules. Now suddently that test at dentry free time makes sense too. And because unhashing now is sane and doesn't depend on where the dentry got unhashed from (because the dentry hash chain details doesn't have some subtle side effects), we can re-unify the __d_drop() logic and use common code for the unhashing. Also fix one more open-coded hash chain bit_spin_lock() that I missed in the previous chain locking cleanup commit. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2011-04-23genirq: Support per-IRQ thread disabling.Paul Mundt
This adds support for disabling threading on a per-IRQ basis via the IRQ status instead of the IRQ flow, which is necessary for interrupts that don't follow the natural IRQ flow channels, such as those that are virtually created. The new APIs added are simply: irq_set_thread() irq_set_nothread() which follow the rest of the IRQ status routines. Chained handlers also have IRQ_NOTHREAD set on them automatically, making the lack of threading explicit rather than implicit. Subsequently, the nothread flag can be viewed through the standard genirq debugging facilities.

2011-04-22drivers:misc:ti-st: handle delayed tty receivePavan Savoy
When certain technologies shutdown their interface without waiting for the acknowledgement from the chip. The receive_buf from the TTY would be invoked a while after the relevant technology is unregistered. This patch introduces a new flag "is_registered" which maintains the state of protocols BT, FM or GPS and thereby removes the need to clear the protocol data from ST when protocols gets unregistered. This fixes corner cases when HCI RESET is sent down from bluetooth stack and the receive_buf is called from tty after 250ms before which bluetooth would have unregistered from the system. OR - when FM application decides to close down the device without sending a power-off FM command resulting in some RDS data or interrupt data coming in after the driver is unregistered.

2011-04-19wl12xx: Handle platforms without level trigger interruptsIdo Yariv
Some platforms are incapable of triggering on level interrupts. Add a platform quirks member in the platform data structure, as well as an edge interrupt quirk which can be set on such platforms. When the interrupt is requested with IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING, IRQF_ONESHOT cannot be used, as we might miss interrupts that occur after the FW status is cleared and before the threaded interrupt handler exits. Moreover, when IRQF_ONESHOT is not set, iterating more than once in the threaded interrupt handler introduces a few race conditions between this handler and the hardirq handler. Currently this is worked around by limiting the loop to one iteration only. This workaround has an impact on performance. To remove to this restriction, the race conditions will need to be addressed.

next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc. Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range (and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without checking the range of its arguments. So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1" doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to overflow).

2011-04-18posix clocks: Replace mutex with reader/writer semaphoreRichard Cochran
A dynamic posix clock is protected from asynchronous removal by a mutex. However, using a mutex has the unwanted effect that a long running clock operation in one process will unnecessarily block other processes. For example, one process might call read() to get an external time stamp coming in at one pulse per second. A second process calling clock_gettime would have to wait for almost a whole second. This patch fixes the issue by using a reader/writer semaphore instead of a mutex.
