Enlarge default dirty ratios from 5/10 to 10/20. This fixes [Bug #12809] iozone regression with 2.6.29-rc6. The iozone benchmarks are performed on a 1200M file, with 8GB ram. iozone -i 0 -i 1 -i 2 -i 3 -i 4 -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m -b tmp.xls iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m -b tmp.xls The performance regression is triggered by commit 1cf6e7d8(mm: task dirty accounting fix), which makes more correct/thorough dirty accounting. The default 5/10 dirty ratios were picked (a) with the old dirty logic and (b) largely at random and (c) designed to be aggressive. In particular, that (a) means that having fixed some of the dirty accounting, maybe the real bug is now that it was always too aggressive, just hidden by an accounting issue. The enlarged 10/20 dirty ratios are just about enough to fix the regression.

Allow simple quoting of words in the dynamic debug control language. This allows more natural specification when using the control language to match against printk formats, e.g #echo -n 'format "Setting node for non-present cpu" +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control instead of #echo -n 'format Setting\040node\040for\040non-present\040cpu +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control Adjust the dynamic debug documention to describe that and provide a new example.

This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'. The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface, (an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function, file, module, format string, and line number. for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack': echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control to disable them: echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

Commit 86c9508eb1c0ce5aa07b5cf1d36b60c54efc3d7a "sysfs: don't block indefinitely for unmapped files" in linux-next crashes the PowerMac G5 when X starts up. It's caught out by the way powerpc's pci_mmap of legacy_mem uses shmem_zero_setup(), substituting a new vma->vm_file whose private_data no longer points to the bin_buffer (substitution done because some versions of X crash if that mmap fails). The fix to this is straightforward: the original vm_file is fput() in that case, so this mmap won't block sysfs at all, so just don't switch over to bin_vm_ops if vm_file has changed. But more fixes made before realizing that was the problem:- It should not be an error if bin_page_mkwrite() finds no underlying page_mkwrite(). Check that a file already mmap'ed has the same underlying vm_ops _before_ pointing vma->vm_ops at bin_vm_ops. If the file being mmap'ed is a shmem/tmpfs file, don't fail the mmap on CONFIG_NUMA=y, just because that has a set_policy and get_policy: provide bin_set_policy, bin_get_policy and bin_migrate.

Right now, the kobject_uevent code blocks for each uevent that's being generated, due to using (for hystoric reasons) UHM_WAIT_EXEC as flag to call_usermode_helper(). Specifically, the effect is that each uevent that is being sent causes the code to wake up keventd, then block until keventd has processed the work. Needless to say, this happens many times during the system boot. This patches changes that to UHN_NO_WAIT (brilliant name for a constant btw) so that we only schedule the work to fire the uevent message, but do not wait for keventd to process the work. This removes one of the bottlenecks during boot; each one of them is only a small effect, but the sum of them does add up. [Note, distros that need this are broken, they should be setting CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH to "", that way this code path will never be excuted at all -- gregkh] Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

The only way for a sysfs attribute to remove itself (without deadlock) is to use the sysfs_schedule_callback() interface. Vegard Nossum discovered that a poorly written sysfs ->store callback can repeatedly schedule remove callbacks on the same device over and over, e.g. $ while true ; do echo 1 > /sys/devices/.../remove ; done If the 'remove' attribute uses the sysfs_schedule_callback API and also does not protect itself from concurrent accesses, its callback handler will be called multiple times, and will eventually attempt to perform operations on a freed kobject, leading to many problems. Instead of requiring all callers of sysfs_schedule_callback to implement their own synchronization, provide the protection in the infrastructure. Now, sysfs_schedule_callback will only allow one scheduled callback per kobject. On subsequent calls with the same kobject, return -EAGAIN. This is a short term fix. The long term fix is to allow sysfs attributes to remove themselves directly, without any of this callback hokey pokey.

dpm_list currently relies on the fact that child devices will be registered after their parents to get a correct suspend order. Using device_move() however destroys this assumption, as an already registered device may be moved under a newly registered one. This patch adds a new argument to device_move(), allowing callers to specify how dpm_list should be adapted.

This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it from struct device, based on the following ideas: 1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way, we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject. 2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object) This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject as private part of struct device in future.

During bootup performance tracing I noticed many occurrences of vca* device creation and removal, leading to the usual userspace uevent processing, which are, in this case, rather pointless. A simple test showing the kernel timing (not including all the work userspace has to do), gives us these numbers: $ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done real 0m1.142s user 0m0.015s sys 0m0.540s If we move the hook for the vcs* driver core devices from the tty "binding" to the vc allocation/deallocation, which is what the vcs* devices represent, we get the following numbers: $ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done real 0m0.152s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.072s Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

This patch moves platform_data from struct device into struct platform_device, based on the two ideas: 1. Now all platform_driver is registered by platform_driver_register, which makes probe()/release()/... of platform_driver passed parameter of platform_device *, so platform driver can get platform_data from platform_device; 2. Other kind of devices do not need to use platform_data, we can decrease size of device if moving it to platform_device. Taking into consideration of thousands of files to be fixed and they can't be finished in one night(maybe it will take a long time), so we keep platform_data in device to allow two kind of cases coexist until all platform devices pass its platfrom data from platform_device->platform_data. All patches to do this kind of conversion are welcome. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Modify sysfs bin files so that we can remove the bin file while they are still mapped. When the kobject is removed we unmap the bin file and arrange for future accesses to the mapping to receive SIGBUS. Implementing this prevents a nasty DOS when pci devices are hot plugged and unplugged. Where if any of their resources were mmaped the kernel could not free up their pci resources or release their pci data structures.

sysfs: sysfs_add_one WARNs with full path to duplicate filename As a debugging aid, it can be useful to know the full path to a duplicate file being created in sysfs. We now will display warnings such as: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/foo' when attempting to create multiple files named 'foo' in the sysfs root, or: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/bus/pci/slots/5/foo' when attempting to create multiple files named 'foo' under a given directory in sysfs. The path displayed is always a relative path to sysfs_root. The leading '/' in the path name refers to the sysfs_root mount point, and should not be confused with the "real" '/'.

If the bus_type is not registerd, driver_register to that bus will cause oops. I found this bug when test built-in usb serial drivers (ie. aircable driver) with 'nousb' cmdline params. In this patch: 1. set the bus->p=NULL when bus_register failed and unregisterd. 2. if bus->p is NULL, driver_register BUG_ON will be triggered.

This patch fixes the bug reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11681. "Lots of device drivers register a 'struct device_driver' with the '.bus' member set to '&platform_bus_type'. This is wrong, since the platform_bus functions expect the 'struct device_driver' to be wrapped up in a 'struct platform_driver' which provides some additional callbacks (like suspend_late, resume_early). The effect may be that platform_suspend_late() uses bogus data outside the device_driver struct as a pointer pointer to the device driver's suspend_late() function or other hard to reproduce failures."(Lothar Wassmann) Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Acked-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Acked-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

If a UIO memory region does not start on a page boundary but straddles one, the number of actual pages that overlap the memory region may be calculated incorrectly because the offset isn't taken into account. If userspace sets the mmap length to offset+size, it may fail with -EINVAL if UIO thinks it's trying to allocate too many pages. Signed-off-by: Ian Abbott <abbotti@mev.co.uk> Cc: Hans J.
