Ian Kent authored
A deadlock can occur when user space uses a signal (autofs version 4 uses SIGCHLD for this) to effect expire completion. The order of events is: Expire process completes, but before being able to send SIGCHLD to it's parent ... Another process walks onto a different mount point and drops the directory inode semaphore prior to sending the request to the daemon as it must ... A third process does an lstat on on the expired mount point causing it to wait on expire completion (unfortunately) holding the directory semaphore. The mount request then arrives at the daemon which does an lstat and, deadlock. For some time I was concerned about releasing the directory semaphore around the expire wait in autofs4_lookup as well as for the mount call back. I finally realized that the last round of changes in this function made the expiring dentry and the lookup dentry separate and distinct so the check and possible wait can be done anywhere prior to the mount call back. This patch moves the check to just before the mount call back and inside the directory inode mutex release.

Add Linux support for the Linear Technology LTC4215 Hot Swap controller I2C monitoring interface. I have tested the driver with my board, and it appears to work fine. With the power supplies disabled, it reads 11.93V input, 1.93V output, no current and no power. With the supplies enabled, it reads 11.93V input, 11.98V output, no current, no power. I'm not drawing any current at the moment, so this is reasonable. The value in the sense register never reads anything except 0, so I expect to get zero from the current and power calculations. I didn't attempt to support changing any of the chip's settings or enabling the FET. I'm not sure even how to do that and still fit within the hwmon framework. :) Signed-off-by: Ira W.

This patchset introduces wakeup hints for some of the most popular (from epoll POV) devices, so that epoll code can avoid spurious wakeups on its waiters. The problem with epoll is that the callback-based wakeups do not, ATM, carry any information about the events the wakeup is related to. So the only choice epoll has (not being able to call f_op->poll() from inside the callback), is to add the file* to a ready-list and resolve the real events later on, at epoll_wait() (or its own f_op->poll()) time. This can cause spurious wakeups, since the wake_up() itself might be for an event the caller is not interested into. The rate of these spurious wakeup can be pretty high in case of many network sockets being monitored. By allowing devices to report the events the wakeups refer to (at least the two major classes - POLLIN/POLLOUT), we are able to spare useless wakeups by proper handling inside the epoll's poll callback. Epoll will have in any case to call f_op->poll() on the file* later on, since the change to be done in order to have the full event set sent via wakeup, is too invasive for the way our f_op->poll() system works (the full event set is calculated inside the poll function - there are too many of them to even start thinking the change - also poll/select would need change too). Epoll is changed in a way that both devices which send event hints, and the ones that don't, are correctly handled. The former will gain some efficiency though. As a general rule for devices, would be to add an event mask by using key-aware wakeup macros, when making up poll wait queues. I tested it (together with the epoll's poll fix patch Andrew has in -mm) and wakeups for the supported devices are correctly filtered. Test program available here: http://www.xmailserver.org/epoll_test.c This patch: Nothing revolutionary here. Just using the available "key" that our wakeup core already support. The __wake_up_locked_key() was no brainer, since both __wake_up_locked() and __wake_up_locked_key() are thin wrappers around __wake_up_common(). The __wake_up_sync() function had a body, so the choice was between borrowing the body for __wake_up_sync_key() and calling it from __wake_up_sync(), or make an inline and calling it from both. I chose the former since in most archs it all resolves to "mov $0, REG; jmp ADDR".

People started using eventfd in a semaphore-like way where before they were using pipes. That is, counter-based resource access. Where a "wait()" returns immediately by decrementing the counter by one, if counter is greater than zero. Otherwise will wait. And where a "post(count)" will add count to the counter releasing the appropriate amount of waiters. If eventfd the "post" (write) part is fine, while the "wait" (read) does not dequeue 1, but the whole counter value. The problem with eventfd is that a read() on the fd returns and wipes the whole counter, making the use of it as semaphore a little bit more cumbersome. You can do a read() followed by a write() of COUNTER-1, but IMO it's pretty easy and cheap to make this work w/out extra steps. This patch introduces a new eventfd flag that tells eventfd to only dequeue 1 from the counter, allowing simple read/write to make it behave like a semaphore. Simple test here: http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-sem.c To be back-compatible with earlier kernels, userspace applications should probe for the availability of this feature via #ifdef EFD_SEMAPHORE fd = eventfd2 (CNT, EFD_SEMAPHORE); if (fd == -1 && errno == EINVAL) <fallback> #else <fallback> #endif Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: <linux-api@vger.kernel.org> Tested-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
