2010-05-18DMAENGINE: extend the control command to include an argLinus Walleij14-21/+32
This adds an argument to the DMAengine control function, so that we can later provide control commands that need some external data passed in through an argument akin to the ioctl() operation prototype.

2010-05-17DMA ENGINE: Do not reset 'private' of channelJassi Brar1-2/+0
The member 'private' of 'struct dma_chan' is meant for passing data between client and the controller driver. The DMA client driver may point it to platform specific stuff after acquiring the channel. So, it is the responsiblity of the same code to reset it, if it must. The DMA engine doesn't set it and hence, shouldn't reset it either. This reseting of private by DMA Engine comes in the way of implementing default channel settings during DMAC probe. That capability is useful for not having the clients to always provide platform specific data, like Rx/Tx FIFO addresses, which usually doesn't change across channel requests.

2010-05-02ioat3: disable cacheline-unaligned transfers for raid operationsDan Williams1-3/+3
There are cases where cacheline-unaligned raid operations can hang the dma channel. Simply disable these operations by increasing the alignment constraints published to async_tx. The raid456 driver always issues page aligned requests, so the only in-kernel user of the ioatdma driver that is affected by this change is dmatest.

2010-04-13anonvma: when setting up page->mapping, we need to pick the _oldest_ anonvmaLinus Torvalds1-2/+13
Otherwise we might be mapping in a page in a new mapping, but that page (through the swapcache) would later be mapped into an old mapping too. The page->mapping must be the case that works for everybody, not just the mapping that happened to page it in first. Here's the scenario: - page gets allocated/mapped by process A. Let's call the anon_vma we associate the page with 'A' to keep it easy to track. - Process A forks, creating process B. The anon_vma in B is 'B', and has a chain that looks like 'B' -> 'A'. Everything is fine. - Swapping happens. The page (with mapping pointing to 'A') gets swapped out (perhaps not to disk - it's enough to assume that it's just not mapped any more, and lives entirely in the swap-cache) - Process B pages it in, which goes like this: do_swap_page -> page = lookup_swap_cache(entry); ... set_pte_at(mm, address, page_table, pte); page_add_anon_rmap(page, vma, address); And think about what happens here! In particular, what happens is that this will now be the "first" mapping of that page, so page_add_anon_rmap() used to do if (first) __page_set_anon_rmap(page, vma, address); and notice what anon_vma it will use? It will use the anon_vma for process B! What happens then? Trivial: process 'A' also pages it in (nothing happens, it's not the first mapping), and then process 'B' execve's or exits or unmaps, making anon_vma B go away. End result: process A has a page that points to anon_vma B, but anon_vma B does not exist any more. This can go on forever. Forget about RCU grace periods, forget about locking, forget anything like that. The bug is simply that page->mapping points to an anon_vma that was correct at one point, but was _not_ the one that was shared by all users of that possible mapping. Changing it to always use the deepest anon_vma in the anonvma chain gets us to the safest model. This can be improved in certain cases: if we know the page is private to just this particular mapping (for example, it's a new page, or it is the only swapcache entry), we could pick the top (most specific) anon_vma. But that's a future optimization. Make it _work_ reliably first.

2010-04-13anon_vma: clone the anon_vma chain in the right orderLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
We want to walk the chain in reverse order when cloning it, so that the order of the result chain will be the same as the order in the source chain. When we add entries to the chain, they go at the head of the chain, so we want to add the source head last.

2010-04-13vma_adjust: fix the copying of anon_vma chainsLinus Torvalds1-16/+8
When we move the boundaries between two vma's due to things like mprotect, we need to make sure that the anon_vma of the pages that got moved from one vma to another gets properly copied around. And that was not always the case, in this rather hard-to-follow code sequence. Clarify the code, and fix it so that it copies the anon_vma from the right source.

2010-04-13Simplify and comment on anon_vma re-use for anon_vma_prepare()Linus Torvalds1-24/+62
This changes the anon_vma reuse case to require that we only reuse simple anon_vma's - ie the case when the vma only has a single anon_vma associated with it. This means that a reuse of an anon_vma from an adjacent vma will always guarantee that both vma's are associated not only with the same anon_vma, they will also have the same anon_vma chain (of just a single entry in this case). And since anon_vma re-use was the only case where the same anon_vma might be associated with different chains of anon_vma's, we now have the case that every vma that shares the same anon_vma will always also have the same chain. That makes it much easier to think about merging vma's that share the same anon_vma's: you can always just drop the other anon_vma chain in anon_vma_merge() since you know that they are always identical. This also splits up the function to validate the anon_vma re-use, and adds a lot of commentary about the possible races.

2010-04-12quota: Fix possible dq_flags corruptionAndrew Perepechko1-6/+6
dq_flags are modified non-atomically in do_set_dqblk via __set_bit calls and atomically for example in mark_dquot_dirty or clear_dquot_dirty. Hence a change done by an atomic operation can be overwritten by a change done by a non-atomic one. Fix the problem by using atomic bitops even in do_set_dqblk.

2010-04-12quota: Hide warnings about writes to the filesystem before quota was turned onJan Kara1-0/+6
For a root filesystem write to the filesystem before quota is turned on happens regularly and there's no way around it because of writes to syslog, /etc/mtab, and similar. So the warning is rather pointless for ordinary users. It's still useful during development so we just hide the warning behind __DQUOT_PARANOIA config option. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2010-04-12MIPS: Calculate proper ebase value for 64-bit kernelsDavid Daney1-1/+1
The ebase is relative to CKSEG0 not CAC_BASE. On a 32-bit kernel they are the same thing, for a 64-bit kernel they are not. It happens to kind of work on a 64-bit kernel as they both reference the same physical memory. However since the CPU uses the CKSEG0 base, determining if a J instruction will reach always gives the wrong result unless we use the same number the CPU uses.

Commit b3594a089f1c17ff919f8f78505c3f20e1f6f8ce (lmo) rsp. 351336929ccf222ae38ff0cb7a8dd5fd5c6236a0 (kernel.org) break non-GPL modules that use __vmalloc() or any of the vmap(), vm_map_ram(), etc functions on MIPS. All those functions are EXPORT_SYMBOL() so are meant to be allowed to be used by non-GPL kernel modules. These calls all take page protection as an argument which is normally a constant like PAGE_KERNEL. This commit causes all protection constants like PAGE_KERNEL to not be constants and instead to contain the GPL-only symbol _page_cachable_default. This means that all calls to __vmalloc(), vmap(), etc, cause non-GPL modules to fail to link with the complaint that they are trying to use the GPL-only symbol _page_cachable_default... Change EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(_page_cachable_default) to EXPORT_SYMBOL() for non-GPL modules that call __vmalloc(), vmap(), vm_map_ram() etc. Signed-off-by: Anton Altaparmakov <aia21@cantab.net> Cc: Chris Dearman <chris@mips.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/1084/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

The old signal frame format obsoleted by this patch exists in two variations, for sane processors and for those requiring ICACHE_REFILLS_WORKAROUND_WAR. So there was never a GDB which did support backtracing over signal frames on all MIPS systems. This convinved me this series should be applied and pushed upstream as soon as possible.] Signed-off-by: David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com> To: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/974/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2010-04-12MIPS: Preliminary VDSODavid Daney8-6/+165
This is a preliminary patch to add a vdso to all user processes. Still missing are ELF headers and .eh_frame information. But it is enough to allow us to move signal trampolines off of the stack. Note that emulation of branch delay slots in the FPU emulator still requires the stack. We allocate a single page (the vdso) and write all possible signal trampolines into it. The stack is moved down by one page and the vdso is mapped into this space.
