2010-09-19workqueue: implement alloc_ordered_workqueue()Tejun Heo
alloc_ordered_workqueue() creates a workqueue which processes each work itemp one by one in the queued order. This will be used to replace create_freezeable_workqueue() and create_singlethread_workqueue(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2010-09-17ethtool, ixgbe: Move RX n-tuple mask fixup to ethtoolBen Hutchings
The ethtool utility does not set masks for flow parameters that are not specified, so if both value and mask are 0 then this must be treated as equivalent to a mask with all bits set. Currently that is done in the only driver that implements RX n-tuple filtering, ixgbe. Move it to the ethtool core. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-09-17stmmac: consolidate and tidy-up the COE supportGiuseppe CAVALLARO
The first version of the driver had hard-coded the logic for handling the checksum offloading. This was designed according to the chips included in the STM platforms where: o MAC10/100 supports no COE at all. o GMAC fully supports RX/TX COE. This is not good for other chip configurations where, for example, the mac10/100 supports the tx csum in HW or when the GMAC has no IPC. Thanks to Johannes Stezenbach; he provided me a first draft of this patch that only reviewed the IPC for the GMAC devices. This patch also helps on SPEAr platforms where the MAC10/100 can perform the TX csum in HW. Thanks to Deepak SIKRI for his support on this. In the end, GMAC devices for STM platforms have a bugged Jumbo frame support that needs to have the Tx COE disabled for oversized frames (due to limited buffer sizes). This information is also passed through the driver's platform structure.

2010-09-17nfs: make sillyrename an async operationJeff Layton
A synchronous rename can be interrupted by a SIGKILL. If that happens during a sillyrename operation, it's possible for the rename call to be sent to the server, but the task exits before processing the reply. If this happens, the sillyrenamed file won't get cleaned up during nfs_dentry_iput and the server is left with a dangling .nfs* file hanging around. Fix this problem by turning sillyrename into an asynchronous operation and have the task doing the sillyrename just wait on the reply. If the task is killed before the sillyrename completes, it'll still proceed to completion.

2010-09-16block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAITChristoph Hellwig
All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous caller. To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous state machine ahead. So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout. For blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.

2010-09-15Phonet: resource routing backendRémi Denis-Courmont
When both destination device and object are nul, Phonet routes the packet according to the resource field. In fact, this is the most common pattern when sending Phonet "request" packets. In this case, the packet is delivered to whichever endpoint (socket) has registered the resource. This adds a new table so that Linux processes can register their Phonet sockets to Phonet resources, if they have adequate privileges. (Namespace support is not implemented at the moment.)

2010-09-15Phonet: remove dangling pipe if an endpoint is closed earlyRémi Denis-Courmont
Closing a pipe endpoint is not normally allowed by the Phonet pipe, other than as a side after-effect of removing the pipe between two endpoints. But there is no way to prevent Linux userspace processes from being killed or suffering from bugs, so this can still happen. We might as well forcefully close Phonet pipe endpoints then. The cellular modem supports only a few existing pipes at a time. So we really should not leak them. This change instructs the modem to destroy the pipe if either of the pipe's endpoint (Linux socket) is closed too early.

2010-09-15perf events: Clean up pid passingMatt Helsley
The kernel perf event creation path shouldn't use find_task_by_vpid() because a vpid exists in a specific namespace. find_task_by_vpid() uses current's pid namespace which isn't always the correct namespace to use for the vpid in all the places perf_event_create_kernel_counter() (and thus find_get_context()) is called. The goal is to clean up pid namespace handling and prevent bugs like: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17281 Instead of using pids switch find_get_context() to use task struct pointers directly. The syscall is responsible for resolving the pid to a task struct. This moves the pid namespace resolution into the syscall much like every other syscall that takes pid parameters.

2010-09-14compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok()H. Peter Anvin
compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could introduce problems on some architectures. This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length. The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the implementation of the new global function. This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space() for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers can also be removed.
