epoll: introduce POLLFREE to flush ->signalfd_wqh before kfree()

2012-02-24T19:42:50+00:00

This patch is intentionally incomplete to simplify the review.
It ignores ep_unregister_pollwait() which plays with the same wqh.
See the next change.

epoll assumes that the EPOLL_CTL_ADD'ed file controls everything
f_op->poll() needs. In particular it assumes that the wait queue
can't go away until eventpoll_release(). This is not true in case
of signalfd, the task which does EPOLL_CTL_ADD uses its ->sighand
which is not connected to the file.

This patch adds the special event, POLLFREE, currently only for
epoll. It expects that init_poll_funcptr()'ed hook should do the
necessary cleanup. Perhaps it should be defined as EPOLLFREE in
eventpoll.

__cleanup_sighand() is changed to do wake_up_poll(POLLFREE) if
->signalfd_wqh is not empty, we add the new signalfd_cleanup()
helper.

ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) simply does list_del_init(task_list).
This make this poll entry inconsistent, but we don't care. If you
share epoll fd which contains our sigfd with another process you
should blame yourself. signalfd is "really special". I simply do
not know how we can define the "right" semantics if it used with
epoll.

The main problem is, epoll calls signalfd_poll() once to establish
the connection with the wait queue, after that signalfd_poll(NULL)
returns the different/inconsistent results depending on who does
EPOLL_CTL_MOD/signalfd_read/etc. IOW: apart from sigmask, signalfd
has nothing to do with the file, it works with the current thread.

In short: this patch is the hack which tries to fix the symptoms.
It also assumes that nobody can take tasklist_lock under epoll
locks, this seems to be true.

Note:

	- we do not have wake_up_all_poll() but wake_up_poll()
	  is fine, poll/epoll doesn't use WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE.

	- signalfd_cleanup() uses POLLHUP along with POLLFREE,
	  we need a couple of simple changes in eventpoll.c to
	  make sure it can't be "lost".

sys_poll: fix incorrect type for 'timeout' parameter

2012-02-22T01:24:20+00:00

The 'poll()' system call timeout parameter is supposed to be 'int', not
'long'.

Now, the reason this matters is that right now 32-bit compat mode is
broken on at least x86-64, because the 32-bit code just calls
'sys_poll()' directly on x86-64, and the 32-bit argument will have been
zero-extended, turning a signed 'int' into a large unsigned 'long'
value.

We could just introduce a 'compat_sys_poll()' function for this, and
that may eventually be what we have to do, but since the actual standard
poll() semantics is *supposed* to be 'int', and since at least on x86-64
glibc sign-extends the argument before invocing the system call (so
nobody can actually use a 64-bit timeout value in user space _anyway_,
even in 64-bit binaries), the simpler solution would seem to be to just
fix the definition of the system call to match what it should have been
from the very start.

If it turns out that somebody somehow circumvents the user-level libc
64-bit sign extension and actually uses a large unsigned 64-bit timeout
despite that not being how poll() is supposed to work, we will need to
do the compat_sys_poll() approach.

asm-generic: architecture independent readq/writeq for 32bit environment

2012-02-22T00:47:28+00:00

This provides unified readq()/writeq() helper functions for 32-bit
drivers.

For some cases, readq/writeq without atomicity is harmful, and order of
io access has to be specified explicitly.  So in this patch, new two
header files which contain non-atomic readq/writeq are added.

 -  provides non-atomic readq/
   writeq with the order of lower address -> higher address

 -  provides non-atomic readq/
   writeq with reversed order

This allows us to remove some readq()s that were added drivers when the
default non-atomic ones were removed in commit dbee8a0affd5 ("x86:
remove 32-bit versions of readq()/writeq()")

The drivers which need readq/writeq but can do with the non-atomic ones
must add the line:

  #include  /* or hi-lo.h */

But this will be nop in 64-bit environments, and no other #ifdefs are
required.  So I believe that this patch can solve the problem of
 1. driver-specific readq/writeq
 2. atomicity and order of io access

This patch is tested with building allyesconfig and allmodconfig as
ARCH=x86 and ARCH=i386 on top of tip/master.

digsig: changed type of the timestamp

2012-02-20T08:46:36+00:00

time_t was used in the signature and key packet headers,
which is typedef of long and is different on 32 and 64 bit architectures.
Signature and key format should be independent of architecture.
Similar to GPG, I have changed the type to uint32_t.

Use standard ror64() instead of hand-written.
There is no standard ror64, so create it.

The difference is shift value being "unsigned int" instead of uint64_t
(for which there is no reason). gcc starts to emit native ROR instructions
which it doesn't do for some reason currently. This should make the code
faster.

Patch survives in-tree crypto test and ping flood with hmac(sha512) on.

vfs: Provide function to get superblock and wait for it to thaw

2012-02-14T01:45:38+00:00

In quota code we need to find a superblock corresponding to a device and wait
for superblock to be unfrozen. However this waiting has to happen without
s_umount semaphore because that is required for superblock to thaw. So provide
a function in VFS for this to keep dances with s_umount where they belong.
