2011-05-17Input: tsc2007 - add X, Y and Z fuzz factors to platform dataThierry Reding
These new platform-specific values can be used to set the fuzz parameter passed to the input_set_abs_params() function for the ABS_X, ABS_Y and ABS_PRESSURE axes. Signed-off-by: Thierry Reding <thierry.reding@avionic-design.de> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>

2011-05-17Input: tsc2007 - add poll_delay parameter to platform dataThierry Reding
Depending on the quality of the touch panel, the time for the X-, X+, Y- and Y+ inputs to settle may vary. The poll_delay parameter can be used to override the default of 1 millisecond.

2011-05-17Input: tsc2007 - add max_rt parameter to platform dataThierry Reding
Finger touch events or very quick stylus events on low-quality panels can cause the tsc2007 to read bogus values. Looking at oscilloscope snapshots, this seems to be caused by the touch event disappearing during the measurements. These bogus values result in misclicks, where the X and Y values deviate from the real position. Most of these misclicks can be filtered out by setting a low enough threshold for the maximum resistance (which is loosely the inverse of the pressure) allowed to consider a set of values valid. Since this behaviour is largely dependent on the type and quality of the panel, this commit introduces the max_rt parameter. The default value is kept at MAX_12BIT.

2011-05-17scsi: remove performance regression due to async queue runJens Axboe
Commit c21e6beb removed our queue request_fn re-enter protection, and defaulted to always running the queues from kblockd to be safe. This was a known potential slow down, but should be safe. Unfortunately this is causing big performance regressions for some, so we need to improve this logic. Looking into the details of the re-enter, the real issue is on requeue of requests. Requeue of requests upon seeing a BUSY condition from the device ends up re-running the queue, causing traces like this: scsi_request_fn() scsi_dispatch_cmd() scsi_queue_insert() __scsi_queue_insert() scsi_run_queue() scsi_request_fn() ... potentially causing the issue we want to avoid. So special case the requeue re-run of the queue, but improve it to offload the entire run of local queue and starved queue from a single workqueue callback. This is a lot better than potentially kicking off a workqueue run for each device seen. This also fixes the issue of the local device going into recursion, since the above mentioned commit never moved that queue run out of line. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2011-05-16cfg80211: advertise possible interface combinationsJohannes Berg
Add the ability to advertise interface combinations in nl80211. This allows the driver to indicate what the combinations are that it supports. "Combinations" of just a single interface are implicit, as previously. Note that cfg80211 will enforce that the restrictions are met, but not for all drivers yet (once all drivers are updated, we can remove the flag and enforce for all). When no combinations are actually supported, an empty list will be exported so that userspace can know if the kernel exported this info or not (although it isn't clear to me what tools using the info should do if the kernel didn't export it). Since some interface types are purely virtual/software and don't fit the restrictions, those are exposed in a new list of pure SW types, not subject to restrictions. This mainly exists to handle AP-VLAN and monitor interfaces in mac80211. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

COW is default, and FS_NOCOW_FL can be used to switch off COW for a single file. If we mount btrfs with nodatacow, a newly created file will be set with the FS_NOCOW_FL flag.

2011-05-14pata_cm64x: fix boot crash on pariscJames Bottomley
The old IDE cmd64x checks the status of the CNTRL register to see if the ports are enabled before probing them. pata_cmd64x doesn't do this, which causes a HPMC on parisc when it tries to poke at the secondary port because apparently the BAR isn't wired up (and a non-responding piece of memory causes a HPMC). Fix this by porting the CNTRL register port detection logic from IDE cmd64x. In addition, following converns from Alan Cox, add a check to see if a mobility electronics bridge is the immediate parent and forgo the check if it is (prevents problems on hotplug controllers).

2011-05-13net: ipv4: add IPPROTO_ICMP socket kindVasiliy Kulikov
This patch adds IPPROTO_ICMP socket kind. It makes it possible to send ICMP_ECHO messages and receive the corresponding ICMP_ECHOREPLY messages without any special privileges. In other words, the patch makes it possible to implement setuid-less and CAP_NET_RAW-less /bin/ping. In order not to increase the kernel's attack surface, the new functionality is disabled by default, but is enabled at bootup by supporting Linux distributions, optionally with restriction to a group or a group range (see below). Similar functionality is implemented in Mac OS X: http://www.manpagez.com/man/4/icmp/ A new ping socket is created with socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, PROT_ICMP) Message identifiers (octets 4-5 of ICMP header) are interpreted as local ports. Addresses are stored in struct sockaddr_in. No port numbers are reserved for privileged processes, port 0 is reserved for API ("let the kernel pick a free number"). There is no notion of remote ports, remote port numbers provided by the user (e.g. in connect()) are ignored. Data sent and received include ICMP headers. This is deliberate to: 1) Avoid the need to transport headers values like sequence numbers by other means. 2) Make it easier to port existing programs using raw sockets. ICMP headers given to send() are checked and sanitized. The type must be ICMP_ECHO and the code must be zero (future extensions might relax this, see below). The id is set to the number (local port) of the socket, the checksum is always recomputed. ICMP reply packets received from the network are demultiplexed according to their id's, and are returned by recv() without any modifications. IP header information and ICMP errors of those packets may be obtained via ancillary data (IP_RECVTTL, IP_RETOPTS, and IP_RECVERR). ICMP source quenches and redirects are reported as fake errors via the error queue (IP_RECVERR); the next hop address for redirects is saved to ee_info (in network order). socket(2) is restricted to the group range specified in "/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ping_group_range". It is "1 0" by default, meaning that nobody (not even root) may create ping sockets. Setting it to "100 100" would grant permissions to the single group (to either make /sbin/ping g+s and owned by this group or to grant permissions to the "netadmins" group), "0 4294967295" would enable it for the world, "100 4294967295" would enable it for the users, but not daemons. The existing code might be (in the unlikely case anyone needs it) extended rather easily to handle other similar pairs of ICMP messages (Timestamp/Reply, Information Request/Reply, Address Mask Request/Reply etc.). Userspace ping util & patch for it: http://openwall.info/wiki/people/segoon/ping For Openwall GNU/*/Linux it was the last step on the road to the setuid-less distro. A revision of this patch (for RHEL5/OpenVZ kernels) is in use in Owl-current, such as in the 2011/03/12 LiveCD ISOs: http://mirrors.kernel.org/openwall/Owl/current/iso/ Initially this functionality was written by Pavel Kankovsky for Linux 2.4.32, but unfortunately it was never made public. All ping options (-b, -p, -Q, -R, -s, -t, -T, -M, -I), are tested with the patch. PATCH v3: - switched to flowi4. - minor changes to be consistent with raw sockets code. PATCH v2: - changed ping_debug() to pr_debug(). - removed CONFIG_IP_PING. - removed ping_seq_fops.owner field (unused for procfs). - switched to proc_net_fops_create(). - switched to %pK in seq_printf(). PATCH v1: - fixed checksumming bug. - CAP_NET_RAW may not create icmp sockets anymore. RFC v2: - minor cleanups. - introduced sysctl'able group range to restrict socket(2).

2011-05-13bonding,llc: Fix structure sizeof incompatibility for some PDUsVitalii Demianets
With some combinations of arch/compiler (e.g. arm-linux-gcc) the sizeof operator on structure returns value greater than expected. In cases when the structure is used for mapping PDU fields it may lead to unexpected results (such as holes and alignment problems in skb data). __packed prevents this undesired behavior.

2011-05-13Cache user_ns in struct credSerge E. Hallyn
If !CONFIG_USERNS, have current_user_ns() defined to (&init_user_ns). Get rid of _current_user_ns. This requires nsown_capable() to be defined in capability.c rather than as static inline in capability.h, so do that. Request_key needs init_user_ns defined at current_user_ns if !CONFIG_USERNS, so forward-declare that in cred.h if !CONFIG_USERNS at current_user_ns() define. Compile-tested with and without CONFIG_USERNS. Signed-off-by: Serge E. Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com> [ This makes a huge performance difference for acl_permission_check(), up to 30%.

2011-05-13ethtool: Added support for FW dumpAnirban Chakraborty
Added code to take FW dump via ethtool. Dump level can be controlled via setting the dump flag. A get function is provided to query the current setting of the dump flag. Dump data is obtained from the driver via a separate get function. Changes from v3: Fixed buffer length issue in ethtool_get_dump_data function. Updated kernel doc for ethtool_dump struct and get_dump_flag function. Changes from v2: Provided separate commands for get flag and data. Check for minimum of the two buffer length obtained via ethtool and driver and use that for dump buffer Pass up the driver return error codes up to the caller. Added kernel doc comments.

2011-05-12ipv6: restore correct ECN handling on TCP xmitSteinar H. Gunderson
Since commit e9df2e8fd8fbc9 (Use appropriate sock tclass setting for routing lookup) we lost ability to properly add ECN codemarks to ipv6 TCP frames. It seems like TCP_ECN_send() calls INET_ECN_xmit(), which only sets the ECN bit in the IPv4 ToS field (inet_sk(sk)->tos), but after the patch, what's checked is inet6_sk(sk)->tclass, which is a completely different field. Close bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34322 [Eric Dumazet] : added the INET_ECN_dontxmit() fix and replace macros by inline functions for clarity. Signed-off-by: Steinar H.
