If memchr argument is longer than strlen(kp->name), there will be some weird result. It will casuse duplicate filenames in sysfs for the "nousb". kernel warning messages are as bellow: sysfs: duplicate filename 'usbcore' can not be created WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:416 sysfs_add_one() [<c01c4750>] sysfs_add_one+0xa0/0xe0 [<c01c4ab8>] create_dir+0x48/0xb0 [<c01c4b69>] sysfs_create_dir+0x29/0x50 [<c024e0fb>] create_dir+0x1b/0x50 [<c024e3b6>] kobject_add+0x46/0x150 [<c024e2da>] kobject_init+0x3a/0x80 [<c053b880>] kernel_param_sysfs_setup+0x50/0xb0 [<c053b9ce>] param_sysfs_builtin+0xee/0x130 [<c053ba33>] param_sysfs_init+0x23/0x60 [<c024d062>] __next_cpu+0x12/0x20 [<c052aa30>] kernel_init+0x0/0xb0 [<c052aa30>] kernel_init+0x0/0xb0 [<c052a856>] do_initcalls+0x46/0x1e0 [<c01bdb12>] create_proc_entry+0x52/0x90 [<c0158d4c>] register_irq_proc+0x9c/0xc0 [<c01bda94>] proc_mkdir_mode+0x34/0x50 [<c052aa30>] kernel_init+0x0/0xb0 [<c052aa92>] kernel_init+0x62/0xb0 [<c0104f83>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x14 ======================= kobject_add failed for usbcore with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.

On platforms that copy sys_tz into the vdso (currently only x86_64, soon to include powerpc), it is possible for the vdso to get out of sync if a user calls (admittedly unusual) settimeofday(NULL, ptr). This patch adds a hook for architectures that set CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL to ensure when sys_tz is updated they can also updatee their copy in the vdso. Signed-off-by:

Make hibernation_platform_enter() execute the enter-a-sleep-state sequence instead of the mixed shutdown-with-entering-S4 thing. Replace the shutting down of devices done by kernel_shutdown_prepare(), before entering the ACPI S4 sleep state, with suspending them and the shutting down of sysdevs with calling device_power_down(PMSG_SUSPEND) (just like before entering S1 or S3, but the target state is now S4). Also, disable the nonboot CPUs before entering the sleep state (S4), which generally always is a good idea. This is known to fix the "double disk spin down during hibernation" on some machines, eg. HPC nx6325 (ref. http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/7/316 and the following thread). Moreover, it has been reported to make /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm work correctly with hibernation for some users. It also generally causes the hibernation state (ACPI S4) to be entered faster. Signed-off-by:

The following scenario leads to total confusion of the platform firmware on some boxes (eg. HPC nx6325): * Hibernate with ACPI enabled * Resume passing "acpi=off" to the boot kernel To prevent this from happening it's necessary to check if ACPI is enabled (and enable it if that's not the case) _right_ _after_ control has been transfered from the boot kernel to the image kernel, before device_power_up() is called (ie. with interrupts disabled). Enabling ACPI after calling device_power_up() turns out to be insufficient. For this reason, introduce new hibernation callback ->leave() that will be executed before device_power_up() by the restored image kernel. To make it work, it also is necessary to move swsusp_suspend() from swsusp.c to disk.c (it's name is changed to "create_image", which is more up to the point). Signed-off-by:

Use temporary page tables for the kernel text mapping during hibernation restore on x86_64. Without the patch, the original boot kernel's page tables that represent the kernel text mapping are used while the core of the image kernel is being restored. However, in principle, if the boot kernel is not identical to the image kernel, the location of these page tables in the image kernel need not be the same, so we should create a safe copy of the kernel text mapping prior to restoring the core of the image kernel.

Since we already pass the address of restore_registers() in the image header, we can also pass the value of the CR3 register from before the hibernation in the same way. This will allow us to avoid using init_level4_pgt page tables during the restore. Signed-off-by:

Make it possible to restore a hibernation image on x86_64 with the help of a kernel different from the one in the image. The idea is to split the core restoration code into two separate parts and to place each of them in a different page. The first part belongs to the boot kernel and is executed as the last step of the image kernel's memory restoration procedure. Before being executed, it is relocated to a safe page that won't be overwritten while copying the image kernel pages. The final operation performed by it is a jump to the second part of the core restoration code that belongs to the image kernel and has just been restored. This code makes the CPU switch to the image kernel's page tables and restores the state of general purpose registers (including the stack pointer) from before the hibernation. The main issue with this idea is that in order to jump to the second part of the core restoration code the boot kernel needs to know its address. However, this address may be passed to it in the image header. Namely, the part of the image header previously used for checking if the version of the image kernel is correct can be replaced with some architecture specific data that will allow the boot kernel to jump to the right address within the image kernel. These data should also be used for checking if the image kernel is compatible with the boot kernel (as far as the memory restroration procedure is concerned). It can be done, for example, with the help of a "magic" value that has to be equal in both kernels, so that they can be regarded as compatible. Signed-off-by:

Add the bits needed for supporting arbitrary boot kernels to the common hibernation code. To support arbitrary boot kernels, make it possible to replace the 'struct new_utsname' and the kernel version in the hibernation image header by some architecture specific data that will be used to verify if the image is valid and to restore the image.

Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes to sleep. This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC). There are plenty of times that we want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial console to be suspended. This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel boot parameter (no_console_suspend). By default, the serial console will be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing 'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain alive during suspend. For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be applied to make this work for things like netconsole. Signed-off-by:

The freezer should not send signals to kernel threads, since that may lead to subtle problems. In particular, commit b74d0deb has changed recalc_sigpending_tsk() so that it doesn't clear TIF_SIGPENDING. For this reason, if the freezer continues to send fake signals to kernel threads and the freezing of kernel threads fails, some of them may be running with TIF_SIGPENDING set forever. Accordingly, recalc_sigpending_tsk() shouldn't set the task's TIF_SIGPENDING flag if TIF_FREEZE is set. Signed-off-by:

The syncing of filesystems from within the freezer is generally not needed. Also, if there's an ext3 filesystem loopback-mounted from a FUSE one, the syncing results in writes to it and deadlocks. Similarly, it will deadlock if FUSE implements sync. Change freeze_processes() so that it doesn't execute sys_sync() and make the suspend and hibernation code path sync filesystems independently of the freezer. Signed-off-by:

Rafael J. Wysocki authored
During hibernation we also need to tell the ACPI core that we're going to put the system into the S4 sleep state. For this reason, an additional method in 'struct hibernation_ops' is needed, playing the role of set_target() in 'struct platform_suspend_operations'. Moreover, the role of the .prepare() method is now different, so it's better to introduce another method, that in general may be different from .prepare(), that will be used to prepare the platform for creating the hibernation image (.prepare() is used anyway to notify the platform that we're going to enter the low power state after the image has been saved).

Rafael J. Wysocki authored
There is no reason why the .prepare() and .finish() methods in 'struct platform_suspend_ops' should take any arguments, since architectures don't use these methods' argument in any practically meaningful way (ie. either the target system sleep state is conveyed to the platform by .set_target(), or there is only one suspend state supported and it is indicated to the PM core by .valid(), or .prepare() and .finish() aren't defined at all). There also is no reason why .finish() should return any result. Signed-off-by:

The name of 'struct pm_ops' suggests that it is related to the power management in general, but in fact it is only related to suspend. Moreover, its name should indicate what this structure is used for, so it seems reasonable to change it to 'struct platform_suspend_ops'. In that case, the name of the global variable of this type used by the PM core and the names of related functions should be changed accordingly. Signed-off-by:

Move the definition of 'struct pm_ops' and related functions from <linux/pm.h> to <linux/suspend.h> . There are, at least, the following reasons to do that: * 'struct pm_ops' is specifically related to suspend and not to the power management in general. * As long as 'struct pm_ops' is defined in <linux/pm.h>, any modification of it causes the entire kernel to be recompiled, which is unnecessary and annoying. * Some suspend-related features are already defined in <linux/suspend.h>, so it is logical to move the definition of 'struct pm_ops' into there. * 'struct hibernation_ops', being the hibernation-related counterpart of 'struct pm_ops', is defined in <linux/suspend.h> .

The patch - Includes the call to capilib_data_b3_req in the spinlock. This routine in turn calls the offending mq_enqueue routine that triggered the freeze if not locked.

When resizing online, setup_new_group_blocks attempts to reserve a potentially very large transaction, depending on the current filesystem geometry. For some journal sizes, there may not be enough room for this transaction, and the online resize will fail. The patch below resizes & restarts the transaction as necessary while setting up the new group, and should work with even the smallest journal. Tested with something like: [root@newbox ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=fsfile bs=1024 count=32768 [root@newbox ~]# mkfs.ext3 -b 1024 fsfile 16384 [root@newbox ~]# mount -o loop fsfile mnt/ [root@newbox ~]# resize2fs /dev/loop0 resize2fs 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007) Filesystem at /dev/loop0 is mounted on /root/mnt; on-line resizing required old desc_blocks = 1, new_desc_blocks = 1 Performing an on-line resize of /dev/loop0 to 32768 (1k) blocks. resize2fs: No space left on device While trying to add group #2 [root@newbox ~]# dmesg | tail -n 1 JBD: resize2fs wants too many credits (258 > 256) [root@newbox ~]# With the below change, it works.
