2011-11-23net: add network priority cgroup infrastructure (v4)Neil Horman2-0/+12
This patch adds in the infrastructure code to create the network priority cgroup. The cgroup, in addition to the standard processes file creates two control files: 1) prioidx - This is a read-only file that exports the index of this cgroup. This is a value that is both arbitrary and unique to a cgroup in this subsystem, and is used to index the per-device priority map 2) priomap - This is a writeable file. On read it reports a table of 2-tuples <name:priority> where name is the name of a network interface and priority is indicates the priority assigned to frames egresessing on the named interface and originating from a pid in this cgroup This cgroup allows for skb priority to be set prior to a root qdisc getting selected. This is benenficial for DCB enabled systems, in that it allows for any application to use dcb configured priorities so without application modification Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> CC: Robert Love <robert.w.love@intel.com> CC: "David S.

2011-11-22macb: unify at91 and avr32 platform dataJamie Iles1-0/+17
Both at91 and avr32 defines its own platform data structure for the macb driver and both share common structures though at91 includes a currently unused phy_irq_pin. Create a common macb_platform_data for macb that both at91 and avr32 can use. In future we can use this to support other architectures that use the same IP block with the macb driver. v2: rename eth_platform_data to macb_platform_data and allow at91_ether to share the platform data with macb.

2011-11-22jbd: clear revoked flag on buffers before a new transaction startedYongqiang Yang1-0/+1
Currently, we clear revoked flag only when a block is reused. However, this can tigger a false journal error. Consider a situation when a block is used as a meta block and is deleted(revoked) in ordered mode, then the block is allocated as a data block to a file. At this moment, user changes the file's journal mode from ordered to journaled and truncates the file. The block will be considered re-revoked by journal because it has revoked flag still pending from the last transaction and an assertion triggers. We fix the problem by keeping the revoked status more uptodate - we clear revoked flag when switching revoke tables to reflect there is no revoked buffers in current transaction any more.

On configs where CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=y, we can replace in fast path a load/compare/conditional jump by a single jump with no dcache reference. Jump target is modified as soon as nf_hooks[pf][hook] switches from empty state to non empty states. jump_label state is kept outside of nf_hooks array so has no cost on cpu caches.

2011-11-22wireless: Support ht-capabilities over-rides.Ben Greear1-0/+14
This allows users to disable features such as HT, HT40, and to modify the MCS, AMPDU, and AMSDU settings for drivers that support it. The MCS, AMPDU, and AMSDU features that may be disabled are are reported in the phy-info netlink message as a mask. Attemping to disable features that are not supported will take no affect, but will not return errors. This is to aid backwards compatibility in user-space apps that may not be clever enough to deal with parsing the the capabilities mask. This patch only enables the infrastructure.

After "freezer: make freezing() test freeze conditions in effect instead of TIF_FREEZE", freezing() returns authoritative answer on whether the current task should freeze or not and freeze_task() doesn't need or use @sig_only.

2011-11-22freezer: fix set_freezable[_with_signal]() raceTejun Heo1-4/+5
A kthread doing set_freezable*() may race with on-going PM freeze and the freezer might think all tasks are frozen while the new freezable kthread is merrily proceeding to execute code paths which aren't supposed to be executing during PM freeze. Reimplement set_freezable[_with_signal]() using __set_freezable() such that freezable PF flags are modified under freezer_lock and try_to_freeze() is called afterwards. This eliminates race condition against freezing. Note: Separated out from larger patch to resolve fix order dependency Oleg pointed out.

2011-11-22freezer: remove should_send_signal() and update frozen()Tejun Heo1-7/+2

2011-11-22freezer: make freezing() test freeze conditions in effect instead of TIF_FREEZETejun Heo1-21/+12
Using TIF_FREEZE for freezing worked when there was only single freezing condition (the PM one); however, now there is also the cgroup_freezer and single bit flag is getting clumsy. thaw_processes() is already testing whether cgroup freezing in in effect to avoid thawing tasks which were frozen by both PM and cgroup freezers. This is racy (nothing prevents race against cgroup freezing) and fragile. A much simpler way is to test actual freeze conditions from freezing() - ie. directly test whether PM or cgroup freezing is in effect. This patch adds variables to indicate whether and what type of freezing conditions are in effect and reimplements freezing() such that it directly tests whether any of the two freezing conditions is active and the task should freeze. On fast path, freezing() is still very cheap - it only tests system_freezing_cnt. This makes the clumsy dancing aroung TIF_FREEZE unnecessary and freeze/thaw operations more usual - updating state variables for the new state and nudging target tasks so that they notice the new state and comply. As long as the nudging happens after state update, it's race-free. * This allows use of freezing() in freeze_task(). Replace the open coded tests with freezing(). * p != current test is added to warning printing conditions in try_to_freeze_tasks() failure path. This is necessary as freezing() is now true for the task which initiated freezing too. -v2: Oleg pointed out that re-freezing FROZEN cgroup could increment system_freezing_cnt. Fixed.

2011-11-22cgroup_freezer: prepare for removal of TIF_FREEZETejun Heo1-3/+3
TIF_FREEZE will be removed soon and freezing() will directly test whether any freezing condition is in effect. Make the following changes in preparation. * Rename cgroup_freezing_or_frozen() to cgroup_freezing() and make it return bool. * Make cgroup_freezing() access task_freezer() under rcu read lock instead of task_lock(). This makes the state dereferencing racy against task moving to another cgroup; however, it was already racy without this change as ->state dereference wasn't synchronized. This will be later dealt with using attach hooks. * freezer->state is now set before trying to push tasks into the target state. -v2: Oleg pointed out that freeze_change_state() was setting freeze->state incorrectly to CGROUP_FROZEN instead of CGROUP_FREEZING. Fixed. -v3: Matt pointed out that setting CGROUP_FROZEN used to always invoke try_to_freeze_cgroup() regardless of the current state. Patch updated such that the actual freeze/thaw operations are always performed on invocation. This shouldn't make any difference unless something is broken.

2011-11-22freezer: clean up freeze_processes() failure pathTejun Heo1-1/+0
freeze_processes() failure path is rather messy. Freezing is canceled for workqueues and tasks which aren't frozen yet but frozen tasks are left alone and should be thawed by the caller and of course some callers (xen and kexec) didn't do it. This patch updates __thaw_task() to handle cancelation correctly and makes freeze_processes() and freeze_kernel_threads() call thaw_processes() on failure instead so that the system is fully thawed on failure. Unnecessary [suspend_]thaw_processes() calls are removed from kernel/power/hibernate.c, suspend.c and user.c. While at it, restructure error checking if clause in suspend_prepare() to be less weird. -v2: Srivatsa spotted missing removal of suspend_thaw_processes() in suspend_prepare() and error in commit message.

2011-11-22freezer: rename thaw_process() to __thaw_task() and simplify the implementationTejun Heo1-2/+1
thaw_process() now has only internal users - system and cgroup freezers. Remove the unnecessary return value, rename, unexport and collapse __thaw_process() into it. This will help further updates to the freezer code. -v3: oom_kill grew a use of thaw_process() while this patch was pending. Convert it to use __thaw_task() for now. In the longer term, this should be handled by allowing tasks to die if killed even if it's frozen. -v2: minor style update as suggested by Matt.

2011-11-22freezer: implement and use kthread_freezable_should_stop()Tejun Heo2-3/+4
Writeback and thinkpad_acpi have been using thaw_process() to prevent deadlock between the freezer and kthread_stop(); unfortunately, this is inherently racy - nothing prevents freezing from happening between thaw_process() and kthread_stop(). This patch implements kthread_freezable_should_stop() which enters refrigerator if necessary but is guaranteed to return if kthread_stop() is invoked. Both thaw_process() users are converted to use the new function. Note that this deadlock condition exists for many of freezable kthreads. They need to be converted to use the new should_stop or freezable workqueue. Tested with synthetic test case.

There is no reason to export two functions for entering the refrigerator. Calling refrigerator() instead of try_to_freeze() doesn't save anything noticeable or removes any race condition. * Rename refrigerator() to __refrigerator() and make it return bool indicating whether it scheduled out for freezing. * Update try_to_freeze() to return bool and relay the return value of __refrigerator() if freezing(). * Convert all refrigerator() users to try_to_freeze(). * Update documentation accordingly. * While at it, add might_sleep() to try_to_freeze().

2011-11-19hugetlb: remove dummy definitions of HPAGE_MASK and HPAGE_SIZEDavid Rientjes1-5/+0
Dummy, non-zero definitions for HPAGE_MASK and HPAGE_SIZE were added in 51c6f666fceb ("mm: ZAP_BLOCK causes redundant work") to avoid a divide by zero in generic kernel code. That code has since been removed, but probably should never have been added in the first place: we don't want HPAGE_SIZE to act like PAGE_SIZE for code that is working with hugepages, for example, when the dependency on CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE has not been fulfilled. Because hugepage size can differ from architecture to architecture, each is required to have their own definitions for both HPAGE_MASK and HPAGE_SIZE. This is always done in arch/*/include/asm/page.h. So, just remove the dummy and dangerous definitions since they are no longer needed and reveals the correct dependencies. Tested on architectures using the definitions with allyesconfig: x86 (even with thp), hppa, mips, powerpc, s390, sh3, sh4, sparc, and sparc64, and with defconfig on ia64.

2011-11-18mm: add vm_area_add_early()Nicolas Pitre1-0/+1
The existing vm_area_register_early() allows for early vmalloc space allocation. However upcoming cleanups in the ARM architecture require that some fixed locations in the vmalloc area be reserved also very early. The name "vm_area_register_early" would have been a good name for the reservation part without the allocation. Since it is already in use with different semantics, let's create vm_area_add_early() instead. Both vm_area_register_early() and vm_area_add_early() can be used together meaning that the former is now implemented using the later where it is ensured that no conflicting areas are added, but no attempt is made to make the allocation scheme in vm_area_register_early() more sophisticated. After all, you must know what you're doing when using those functions.

The utf8s_to_utf16s conversion routine needs to be improved. Unlike its utf16s_to_utf8s sibling, it doesn't accept arguments specifying the maximum length of the output buffer or the endianness of its 16-bit output. This patch (as1501) adds the two missing arguments, and adjusts the only two places in the kernel where the function is called. A follow-on patch will add a third caller that does utilize the new capabilities. The two conversion routines are still annoyingly inconsistent in the way they handle invalid byte combinations.

2011-11-18DMAEngine: Define interleaved transfer request apiJassi Brar1-3/+75
Define a new api that could be used for doing fancy data transfers like interleaved to contiguous copy and vice-versa. Traditional SG_list based transfers tend to be very inefficient in such cases as where the interleave and chunk are only a few bytes, which call for a very condensed api to convey pattern of the transfer. This api supports all 4 variants of scatter-gather and contiguous transfer. Of course, neither can this api help transfers that don't lend to DMA by nature, i.e, scattered tiny read/writes with no periodic pattern. Also since now we support SLAVE channels that might not provide device_prep_slave_sg callback but device_prep_interleaved_dma, remove the BUG_ON check.

2011-11-18USB: Add helper macro for usb_driver boilerplateGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+12
This patch introduces the module_usb_driver macro which is a convenience macro for USB driver modules similar to module_platform_driver. It is intended to be used by drivers which init/exit section does nothing but register/unregister the USB driver. By using this macro it is possible to eliminate a few lines of boilerplate code per USB driver. Based on work done by Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de> for other busses (i2c and spi).

2011-11-18net: use jump_label to shortcut RPS if not setupEric Dumazet1-0/+5
Most machines dont use RPS/RFS, and pay a fair amount of instructions in netif_receive_skb() / netif_rx() / get_rps_cpu() just to discover RPS/RFS is not setup. Add a jump_label named rps_needed. If no device rps_map or global rps_sock_flow_table is setup, netif_receive_skb() / netif_rx() do a single instruction instead of many ones, including conditional jumps. jmp +0 (if CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=y) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-11-18pstore: pass reason to backend write callbackKees Cook1-7/+5
This allows a backend to filter on the dmesg reason as well as the pstore reason. When ramoops is switched to pstore, this is needed since it has no interest in storing non-crash dmesg details. Drop pstore_write() as it has no users, and handling the "reason" here has no obviously correct value. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2011-11-18pstore: pass allocated memory region back to callerKees Cook1-1/+3
The buf_lock cannot be held while populating the inodes, so make the backend pass forward an allocated and filled buffer instead. This solves the following backtrace. The effect is that "buf" is only ever used to notify the backends that something was written to it, and shouldn't be used in the read path. To replace the buf_lock during the read path, isolate the open/read/close loop with a separate mutex to maintain serialized access to the backend. Note that is is up to the pstore backend to cope if the (*write)() path is called in the middle of the read path.
