2011-06-12Delay struct net freeing while there's a sysfs instance refering to itAl Viro
* new refcount in struct net, controlling actual freeing of the memory * new method in kobj_ns_type_operations (->drop_ns()) * ->current_ns() semantics change - it's supposed to be followed by corresponding ->drop_ns(). For struct net in case of CONFIG_NET_NS it bumps the new refcount; net_drop_ns() decrements it and calls net_free() if the last reference has been dropped. Method renamed to ->grab_current_ns(). * old net_free() callers call net_drop_ns() instead. * sysfs_exit_ns() is gone, along with a large part of callchain leading to it; now that the references stored in ->ns[...] stay valid we do not need to hunt them down and replace them with NULL. That fixes problems in sysfs_lookup() and sysfs_readdir(), along with getting rid of sb->s_instances abuse. Note that struct net *shutdown* logics has not changed - net_cleanup() is called exactly when it used to be called. The only thing postponed by having a sysfs instance refering to that struct net is actual freeing of memory occupied by struct net. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-06-10sched: Make sleeping inside spinlock detection working in !CONFIG_PREEMPTFrederic Weisbecker
Select CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT when we enable the sleeping inside spinlock detection, so that the preempt offset gets correctly incremented/decremented from preempt_disable()/preempt_enable(). This makes the preempt count eventually working in !CONFIG_PREEMPT when that debug option is set and thus fixes the detection of explicit preemption disabled sections under such config. Code that sleeps in explicitly preempt disabled section can be finally spotted in non-preemptible kernels. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

2011-06-06swiotlb: Export swioltb_nr_tbl and utilize it as appropiate.FUJITA Tomonori
By default the io_tlb_nslabs is set to zero, and gets set to whatever value is passed in via swiotlb_init_with_tbl function. The default value passed in is 64MB. However, if the user provides the 'swiotlb=<nslabs>' the default value is ignored and the value provided by the user is used... Except when the SWIOTLB is used under Xen - there the default value of 64MB is used and the Xen-SWIOTLB has no mechanism to get the 'io_tlb_nslabs' filled out by setup_io_tlb_npages functions. This patch provides a function for the Xen-SWIOTLB to call to see if the io_tlb_nslabs is set and if so use that value.

2011-05-26flex_array: avoid divisions when accessing elementsJesse Gross
On most architectures division is an expensive operation and accessing an element currently requires four of them. This performance penalty effectively precludes flex arrays from being used on any kind of fast path. However, two of these divisions can be handled at creation time and the others can be replaced by a reciprocal divide, completely avoiding real divisions on access.

2011-05-26rcu: Fix unpaired rcu_irq_enter() from locking selftestsFrederic Weisbecker
HARDIRQ_ENTER() maps to irq_enter() which calls rcu_irq_enter(). But HARDIRQ_EXIT() maps to __irq_exit() which doesn't call rcu_irq_exit(). So for every locking selftest that simulates hardirq disabled, we create an imbalance in the rcu extended quiescent state internal state. As a result, after the first missing rcu_irq_exit(), subsequent irqs won't exit dyntick-idle mode after leaving the interrupt handler. This means that RCU won't see the affected CPU as being in an extended quiescent state, resulting in long grace-period delays (as in grace periods extending for hours). To fix this, just use __irq_enter() to simulate the hardirq context. This is sufficient for the locking selftests as we don't need to exit any extended quiescent state or perform any check that irqs normally do when they wake up from idle. As a side effect, this patch makes it possible to restore "rcu: Decrease memory-barrier usage based on semi-formal proof", which eventually helped finding this bug.

2011-05-25lib: consolidate DEBUG_STACK_USAGE optionStephen Boyd
Most arches define CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE exactly the same way. Move it to lib/Kconfig.debug so each arch doesn't have to define it. This obviously makes the option generic, but that's fine because the config is already used in generic code. It's not obvious to me that sysrq-P actually does anything caution by keeping the most inclusive wording.

2011-05-25lib: add kstrto*_from_user()Alexey Dobriyan
There is quite a lot of code which does copy_from_user() + strict_strto*() or simple_strto*() combo in slightly different ways. Before doing conversions all over tree, let's get final API correct. Enter kstrtoull_from_user() and friends. Typical code which uses them looks very simple: TYPE val; int rv; rv = kstrtoTYPE_from_user(buf, count, 0, &val); if (rv < 0) return rv; [use val] return count; There is a tiny semantic difference from the plain kstrto*() API -- the latter allows any amount of leading zeroes, while the former copies data into buffer on stack and thus allows leading zeroes as long as it fits into buffer. This shouldn't be a problem for typical usecase "echo 42 > /proc/x". The point is to make reading one integer from userspace _very_ simple and very bug free.

2011-05-25bitmap, irq: add smp_affinity_list interface to /proc/irqMike Travis
Manually adjusting the smp_affinity for IRQ's becomes unwieldy when the cpu count is large. Setting smp affinity to cpus 256 to 263 would be: echo 000000ff,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000 > smp_affinity instead of: echo 256-263 > smp_affinity_list Think about what it looks like for cpus around say, 4088 to 4095. We already have many alternate "list" interfaces: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/indexY/shared_cpu_list /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings_list /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/cpulist /sys/devices/pci***/***/local_cpulist Add a companion interface, smp_affinity_list to use cpu lists instead of cpu maps. This conforms to other companion interfaces where both a map and a list interface exists. This required adding a bitmap_parselist_user() function in a manner similar to the bitmap_parse_user() function.

2011-05-25arch, mm: filter disallowed nodes from arch specific show_mem functionsDavid Rientjes
Architectures that implement their own show_mem() function did not pass the filter argument to show_free_areas() to appropriately avoid emitting the state of nodes that are disallowed in the current context. This patch now passes the filter argument to show_free_areas() so those nodes are now avoided. This patch also removes the show_free_areas() wrapper around __show_free_areas() and converts existing callers to pass an empty filter. ia64 emits additional information for each node, so skip_free_areas_zone() must be made global to filter disallowed nodes and it is converted to use a nid argument rather than a zone for this use case.

2011-05-19lib: Add generic binary search function to the kernel.Tim Abbott
There a large number hand-coded binary searches in the kernel (run "git grep search | grep binary" to find many of them). Since in my experience, hand-coding binary searches can be error-prone, it seems worth cleaning this up by providing a generic binary search function. This generic binary search implementation comes from Ksplice. It has the same basic API as the C library bsearch() function. Ksplice uses it in half a dozen places with 4 different comparison functions, and I think our code is substantially cleaner because of this.

2011-05-12vsprintf: Turn kptr_restrict off by defaultIngo Molnar
kptr_restrict has been triggering bugs in apps such as perf, and it also makes the system less useful by default, so turn it off by default. This is how we generally handle security features that remove functionality, such as firewall code or SELinux - they have to be configured and activated from user-space. Distributions can turn kptr_restrict on again via this line in /etc/sysctrl.conf: kernel.kptr_restrict = 1 ( Also mark the variable __read_mostly while at it, as it's typically modified only once per bootup, or not at all. ) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: David S.
