2008-02-14Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}Jan Blunck
This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata. Together with the other patches of this series - it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on <dentry,vfsmount> pairs - it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed - it reduces the overall code size: without patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5321639 858418 715768 6895825 6938d1 vmlinux with patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5320026 858418 715768 6894212 693284 vmlinux This patch: Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

2008-02-13Linux Kernel Markers: create modpost fileMathieu Desnoyers
This adds some new magic in the MODPOST phase for CONFIG_MARKERS. Analogous to the Module.symvers file, the build will now write a Module.markers file when CONFIG_MARKERS=y is set. This file lists the name, defining module, and format string of each marker, separated by \t characters. This simple text file can be used by offline build procedures for instrumentation code, analogous to how System.map and Module.symvers can be useful to have for kernels other than the one you are running right now. The strings are made easy to extract by having the __trace_mark macro define the name and format together in a single array called __mstrtab_* in the __markers_strings section. This is straightforward and reliable as long as the marker structs are always defined by this macro. It is an unreasonable amount of hairy work to extract the string pointers from the __markers section structs, which entails handling a relocation type for every machine under the sun.

2008-02-13Linux Kernel Markers: support multiple probesMathieu Desnoyers
RCU style multiple probes support for the Linux Kernel Markers. Common case (one probe) is still fast and does not require dynamic allocation or a supplementary pointer dereference on the fast path. - Move preempt disable from the marker site to the callback. Since we now have an internal callback, move the preempt disable/enable to the callback instead of the marker site. Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the preempt disable section. - Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically armed. Remove MARK_MAX_FORMAT_LEN, unused. This patch modifies the Linux Kernel Markers API : it removes the probe "arm/disarm" and changes the probe function prototype : it now expects a va_list * instead of a "...". If we want to have more than one probe connected to a marker at a given time (LTTng, or blktrace, ssytemtap) then we need this patch. Without it, connecting a second probe handler to a marker will fail. It allow us, for instance, to do interesting combinations : Do standard tracing with LTTng and, eventually, to compute statistics with SystemTAP, or to have a special trigger on an event that would call a systemtap script which would stop flight recorder tracing.

On alpha, ia64 and ppc64 only relocations to local data can go into read-only sections.

2008-02-11mempolicy: silently restrict nodemask to allowed nodesKOSAKI Motohiro
Kosaki Motohito noted that "numactl --interleave=all ..." failed in the presence of memoryless nodes. This patch attempts to fix that problem. Some background: numactl --interleave=all calls set_mempolicy(2) with a fully populated [out to MAXNUMNODES] nodemask. set_mempolicy() [in do_set_mempolicy()] calls contextualize_policy() which requires that the nodemask be a subset of the current task's mems_allowed; else EINVAL will be returned. A task's mems_allowed will always be a subset of node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] i.e., nodes with memory. So, a fully populated nodemask will be declared invalid if it includes memoryless nodes. NOTE: the same thing will occur when running in a cpuset with restricted mem_allowed--for the same reason: node mask contains dis-allowed nodes. mbind(2), on the other hand, just masks off any nodes in the nodemask that are not included in the caller's mems_allowed. In each case [mbind() and set_mempolicy()], mpol_check_policy() will complain [again, resulting in EINVAL] if the nodemask contains any memoryless nodes. This is somewhat redundant as mpol_new() will remove memoryless nodes for interleave policy, as will bind_zonelist()--called by mpol_new() for BIND policy. Proposed fix: 1) modify contextualize_policy logic to: a) remember whether the incoming node mask is empty. b) if not, restrict the nodemask to allowed nodes, as is currently done in-line for mbind(). This guarantees that the resulting mask includes only nodes with memory. NOTE: this is a [benign, IMO] change in behavior for set_mempolicy(). Dis-allowed nodes will be silently ignored, rather than returning an error. c) fold this code into mpol_check_policy(), replace 2 calls to contextualize_policy() to call mpol_check_policy() directly and remove contextualize_policy(). 2) In existing mpol_check_policy() logic, after "contextualization": a) MPOL_DEFAULT: require that in coming mask "was_empty" b) MPOL_{BIND|INTERLEAVE}: require that contextualized nodemask contains at least one node. c) add a case for MPOL_PREFERRED: if in coming was not empty and resulting mask IS empty, user specified invalid nodes. Return EINVAL. c) remove the now redundant check for memoryless nodes 3) remove the now redundant masking of policy nodes for interleave policy from mpol_new(). 4) Now that mpol_check_policy() contextualizes the nodemask, remove the in-line nodes_and() from sys_mbind(). I believe that this restores mbind() to the behavior before the memoryless-nodes patch series. E.g., we'll no longer treat an invalid nodemask with MPOL_PREFERRED as local allocation. [ Patch history: v1 -> v2: - Communicate whether or not incoming node mask was empty to mpol_check_policy() for better error checking. - As suggested by David Rientjes, remove the now unused cpuset_nodes_subset_current_mems_allowed() from cpuset.h v2 -> v3: - As suggested by Kosaki Motohito, fold the "contextualization" of policy nodemask into mpol_check_policy().

2008-02-11[IA64] Fix build for sim_defconfigTony Luck
Commit bdc807871d58285737d50dc6163d0feb72cb0dc2 broke the build for this config because the sim_defconfig selects CONFIG_HZ=250 but include/asm-ia64/param.h has an ifdef for the simulator to force HZ to 32. So we ended up with a kernel/timeconst.h set for HZ=250 ... which then failed the check for the right HZ value and died with: Drop the #ifdef magic from param.h and make force CONFIG_HZ=32 directly for the simulator.

2008-02-11[SCSI] update SG_ALL to avoid causing chainingJames Bottomley
Since the sg chaining patches went in, our current value of 255 for SG_ALL excites chaining on some drivers which cannot support it (and would thus oops). Redefine SG_ALL to mean no sg table size preference, but use the single allocation (non chained) limit. This also helps for drivers that use it to size an internal table. We'll do an opt in system later where truly chaining supporting drivers can define their sg_tablesize to be anything up to SCSI_MAX_SG_CHAIN_ELEMENTS.

2008-02-11Prevent IDE boot ops on NUMA systemAndi Kleen
Without this patch a Opteron test system here oopses at boot with current git. Calling to_pci_dev() on a NULL pointer gives a negative value so the following NULL pointer check never triggers and then an illegal address is referenced. Check the unadjusted original device pointer for NULL instead. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-02-11ide-disk: fix flush requests (take 2)Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
commit 813a0eb233ee67d7166241a8b389b6a76f2247f9 Author: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com> Date: Fri Jan 25 22:17:10 2008 +0100 ide: switch idedisk_prepare_flush() to use REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE requests ... broke flush requests. Allocating IDE command structure on the stack for flush requests is not a very brilliant idea: - idedisk_prepare_flush() only prepares the request and it doesn't wait for it to be completed - there are can be multiple flush requests queued in the queue Fix the problem (per hints from James Bottomley) by: - dynamically allocating ide_task_t instance using kmalloc(..., GFP_ATOMIC) - adding new taskfile flag (IDE_TFLAG_DYN) - calling kfree() in ide_end_drive_command() if IDE_TFLAG_DYN is set (while at it rename 'args' to 'task' and fix whitespace damage) [ This will be fixed properly before 2.6.25 but this bug is rather critical and the proper solution requires some more work + testing. ] Thanks to Sebastian Siewior and Christoph Hellwig for reporting the problem and testing patches (extra thanks to Sebastian for bisecting it to the guilty commmit).

This is a void function attempting to return the return value from another void function, which seems harmless but extremely weird, and apparently makes some compilers complain. While we're there, clean up a little (e.g. the switch statement had a minor style problem and seemed overkill as long as there's only one case). Thanks to Trond for noticing this. Signed-off-by: J.
