2016-08-29powerpc: signals: Discard transaction state from signal framesCyril Bur1-0/+2
Userspace can begin and suspend a transaction within the signal handler which means they might enter sys_rt_sigreturn() with the processor in suspended state. sys_rt_sigreturn() wants to restore process context (which may have been in a transaction before signal delivery). To do this it must restore TM SPRS. To achieve this, any transaction initiated within the signal frame must be discarded in order to be able to restore TM SPRs as TM SPRs can only be manipulated non-transactionally.. >From the PowerPC ISA: TM Bad Thing Exception [Category: Transactional Memory] An attempt is made to execute a mtspr targeting a TM register in other than Non-transactional state.

2016-08-16PCI: Use positive flags in pci_alloc_irq_vectors()Christoph Hellwig1-14/+10
Instead of passing negative flags like PCI_IRQ_NOMSI to prevent use of certain interrupt types, pass positive flags like PCI_IRQ_LEGACY, PCI_IRQ_MSI, etc., to specify the acceptable interrupt types. This is based on a number of pending driver conversions that just happend to be a whole more obvious to read this way, and given that we have no users in the tree yet it can still easily be done. I've also added a PCI_IRQ_ALL_TYPES catchall to keep the case of accepting all interrupt types very simple.

2016-08-09PCI: Update "pci=resource_alignment" documentationMathias Koehrer1-0/+4
Some uio based PCI drivers, e.g., uio_cif, do not work if the assigned PCI memory resources are not page aligned. By using the kernel option "pci=resource_alignment=<align>@<bus>:<slot>.<func>" it is possible to request page alignment for memory resources of devices. However, this is cumbersome when using several devices, and the bus/slot/func addresses may change if devices are added to or removed from the system. Extend the "pci=resource_alignment" option so we can specify the relevant devices via PCI vendor, device, subvendor, and subdevice IDs. The specification of the devices via IDs is indicated by a leading string "pci:" as argument to "pci=resource_alignment". The format of the specification is pci:<vendor>:<device>[:<subvendor>:<subdevice>] Examples: pci=resource_alignment=4096@pci:8086:9c22:103c:198f pci=resource_alignment=pci:8086:9c22 # defaults to PAGE_SIZE align [bhelgaas: changelog, use actual vendor/device IDs in examples] Signed-off-by: Mathias Koehrer <mathias.koehrer@etas.com> Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com>

Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger, rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break at compile time instead of at runtime. No intended functional changes in this commit.

2016-08-06rxrpc: Fix races between skb free, ACK generation and replyingDavid Howells1-10/+11
Inside the kafs filesystem it is possible to occasionally have a call processed and terminated before we've had a chance to check whether we need to clean up the rx queue for that call because afs_send_simple_reply() ends the call when it is done, but this is done in a workqueue item that might happen to run to completion before afs_deliver_to_call() completes. Further, it is possible for rxrpc_kernel_send_data() to be called to send a reply before the last request-phase data skb is released. The rxrpc skb destructor is where the ACK processing is done and the call state is advanced upon release of the last skb. ACK generation is also deferred to a work item because it's possible that the skb destructor is not called in a context where kernel_sendmsg() can be invoked. To this end, the following changes are made: (1) kernel_rxrpc_data_consumed() is added. This should be called whenever an skb is emptied so as to crank the ACK and call states. This does not release the skb, however. kernel_rxrpc_free_skb() must now be called to achieve that. These together replace rxrpc_kernel_data_delivered(). (2) kernel_rxrpc_data_consumed() is wrapped by afs_data_consumed(). This makes afs_deliver_to_call() easier to work as the skb can simply be discarded unconditionally here without trying to work out what the return value of the ->deliver() function means. The ->deliver() functions can, via afs_data_complete(), afs_transfer_reply() and afs_extract_data() mark that an skb has been consumed (thereby cranking the state) without the need to conditionally free the skb to make sure the state is correct on an incoming call for when the call processor tries to send the reply. (3) rxrpc_recvmsg() now has to call kernel_rxrpc_data_consumed() when it has finished with a packet and MSG_PEEK isn't set. (4) rxrpc_packet_destructor() no longer calls rxrpc_hard_ACK_data(). Because of this, we no longer need to clear the destructor and put the call before we free the skb in cases where we don't want the ACK/call state to be cranked. (5) The ->deliver() call-type callbacks are made to return -EAGAIN rather than 0 if they expect more data (afs_extract_data() returns -EAGAIN to the delivery function already), and the caller is now responsible for producing an abort if that was the last packet. (6) There are many bits of unmarshalling code where: ret = afs_extract_data(call, skb, last, ...); switch (ret) { case 0: break; case -EAGAIN: return 0; default: return ret; } is to be found. As -EAGAIN can now be passed back to the caller, we now just return if ret < 0: ret = afs_extract_data(call, skb, last, ...); if (ret < 0) return ret; (7) Checks for trailing data and empty final data packets has been consolidated as afs_data_complete(). So: if (skb->len > 0) return -EBADMSG; if (!last) return 0; becomes: ret = afs_data_complete(call, skb, last); if (ret < 0) return ret; (8) afs_transfer_reply() now checks the amount of data it has against the amount of data desired and the amount of data in the skb and returns an error to induce an abort if we don't get exactly what we want. Without these changes, the following oops can occasionally be observed, particularly if some printks are inserted into the delivery path: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: kafs(E) af_rxrpc(E) [last unloaded: af_rxrpc] CPU: 0 PID: 1305 Comm: kworker/u8:3 Tainted: G E 4.7.0-fsdevel+ #1303 Hardware name: ASUS All Series/H97-PLUS, BIOS 2306 10/09/2014 Workqueue: kafsd afs_async_workfn [kafs] task: ffff88040be041c0 ti: ffff88040c070000 task.ti: ffff88040c070000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8108fd3c>] [<ffffffff8108fd3c>] __lock_acquire+0xcf/0x15a1 RSP: 0018:ffff88040c073bc0 EFLAGS: 00010002 RAX: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: ffff88040d29a710 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff88040d29a710 RBP: ffff88040c073c70 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: ffff88040be041c0 R15: ffffffff814c928f FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88041fa00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007fa4595f4750 CR3: 0000000001c14000 CR4: 00000000001406f0 Stack: 0000000000000006 000000000be04930 0000000000000000 ffff880400000000 ffff880400000000 ffffffff8108f847 ffff88040be041c0 ffffffff81050446 ffff8803fc08a920 ffff8803fc08a958 ffff88040be041c0 ffff88040c073c38 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8108f847>] ? mark_held_locks+0x5e/0x74 [<ffffffff81050446>] ? __local_bh_enable_ip+0x9b/0xa1 [<ffffffff8108f9ca>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x16d/0x189 [<ffffffff810915f4>] lock_acquire+0x122/0x1b6 [<ffffffff810915f4>] ? lock_acquire+0x122/0x1b6 [<ffffffff814c928f>] ? skb_dequeue+0x18/0x61 [<ffffffff81609dbf>] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x35/0x49 [<ffffffff814c928f>] ? skb_dequeue+0x18/0x61 [<ffffffff814c928f>] skb_dequeue+0x18/0x61 [<ffffffffa009aa92>] afs_deliver_to_call+0x344/0x39d [kafs] [<ffffffffa009ab37>] afs_process_async_call+0x4c/0xd5 [kafs] [<ffffffffa0099e9c>] afs_async_workfn+0xe/0x10 [kafs] [<ffffffff81063a3a>] process_one_work+0x29d/0x57c [<ffffffff81064ac2>] worker_thread+0x24a/0x385 [<ffffffff81064878>] ? rescuer_thread+0x2d0/0x2d0 [<ffffffff810696f5>] kthread+0xf3/0xfb [<ffffffff8160a6ff>] ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x40 [<ffffffff81069602>] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x1cf/0x1cf Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-08-04dma-mapping: use unsigned long for dma_attrsKrzysztof Kozlowski2-20/+15
The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA attributes passed by pointer. Thus the pointer can point to const data. However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield. Instead unsigned long will do fine: 1. This is just simpler. Both in terms of reading the code and setting attributes. Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits. 2. It brings safeness and checking for const correctness because the attributes are passed by value.

2016-08-04modules: Add kernel parameter to blacklist modulesPrarit Bhargava1-0/+3
Blacklisting a module in linux has long been a problem. The current procedure is to use rd.blacklist=module_name, however, that doesn't cover the case after the initramfs and before a boot prompt (where one is supposed to use /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to blacklist runtime loading). Using rd.shell to get an early prompt is hit-or-miss, and doesn't cover all situations AFAICT. This patch adds this functionality of permanently blacklisting a module by its name via the kernel parameter module_blacklist=module_name.
