I've been doing this for years, and akpm picked me up on it about 12 months ago. lguest partly serves as example code, so let's do it Right. Also, remove two unused fields in struct vblk_info in the example launcher. Signed-off-by:Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>

Every so often, after code shuffles, I need to go through and unbitrot the Lguest Journey (see drivers/lguest/README). Since we now use RCU in a simple form in one place I took the opportunity to expand that explanation. Signed-off-by: -

I don't really notice it (except to begrudge the extra vertical space), but Ingo does. And he pointed out that one excuse of lguest is as a teaching tool, it should set a good example. Signed-off-by: -

This refactors find_vqs, making it more readable and robust, and fixing two regressions from 2.6.30: - double free_irq causing BUG_ON on device removal - probe failure when vq can't be assigned to msi-x vector (reported on old host kernels) Tested-by:

This makes delete vq the reverse of find vq. This is required to make it possible to retry find_vqs after a failure, otherwise the list gets corrupted. Signed-off-by:

1d589bb1 "Add serial number support for virtio_blk, V4a" extended 'struct virtio_blk_config' to 536 bytes. Lguest and S/390 both use an 8 bit value for the feature length, and this change broke them (if the code is naive). Signed-off-by:

"new" was freed and then dereferenced. Also the return value wasn't being used so I modified the caller as well. Compile tested only. Found by smatch (http://repo.or.cz/w/smatch.git). regards, dan carpenter Signed-off-by:

Don't require a specific file in a directory to be tested. Also Arnd Bergmann pointed out that the MAINTAINERS pattern requirement that directory patterns have a trailing slash was unnecessary and was likely to be error prone. Removed that requirement. Signed-off-by:

drivers/serial/atmel_serial.c: fix compile when CONFIG_SERIAL_ATMEL=Y and CONFIG_SERIAL_ATMEL_CONSOLE=N When SERIAL_ATMEL_CONSOLE is disabled, ATMEL_CONSOLE_DEVICE is set to NULL, and trying to access ATMEL_CONSOLE_DEVICE->flags in atmel_serial_probe makes the compile fail.

Once a structure goes over PAGE_SIZE*2, we see occasional allocation failures. Some people have chosen to switch over to things like vmalloc() that will let them keep array-like access to such a large structures. But, vmalloc() has plenty of downsides. Here's an alternative. I think it's what Andrew was suggesting here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/2/518 I call it a flexible array. It does all of its work in PAGE_SIZE bits, so never does an order>0 allocation. The base level has PAGE_SIZE-2*sizeof(int) bytes of storage for pointers to the second level. So, with a 32-bit arch, you get about 4MB (4183112 bytes) of total storage when the objects pack nicely into a page. It is half that on 64-bit because the pointers are twice the size. There's a table detailing this in the code. There are kerneldocs for the functions, but here's an overview: flex_array_alloc() - dynamically allocate a base structure flex_array_free() - free the array and all of the second-level pages flex_array_free_parts() - free the second-level pages, but not the base (for static bases) flex_array_put() - copy into the array at the given index flex_array_get() - copy out of the array at the given index flex_array_prealloc() - preallocate the second-level pages between the given indexes to guarantee no allocs will occur at put() time. We could also potentially just pass the "element_size" into each of the API functions instead of storing it internally. That would get us one more base pointer on 32-bit. I've been testing this by running it in userspace. The header and patch that I've been using are here, as well as the little script I'm using to generate the size table which goes in the kerneldocs. http://sr71.net/~dave/linux/flexarray/ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:

Since commit 8dfd0374 ("MMC core: limit minimum initialization frequency to 400kHz") MMC core checks for minimum frequency, and that causes following messages flood when using eSDHC controllers: ... mmc0: Minimum clock frequency too high for identification mode mmc0: Minimum clock frequency too high for identification mode ... The warnings are legitimate, since if we'd use 133 MHz clocks for standard SDHCI controllers, we'd not able to scale frequency down to 400 kHz. But eSDHC controllers have a non-standard SD clock management, so we can divide clock by 256 * 16, not just 256. This patch introduces get_min_clock() callback for sdhci core and implements it for sdhci-of driver, and thus fixes the issue. Signed-off-by:

Hidetoshi Seto authored
commit d6580a9f ("kexec: sysrq: simplify sysrq-c handler") changed the behavior of sysrq-c to unconditional dereference of NULL pointer. So in cases with CONFIG_KEXEC, where crash_kexec() was directly called from sysrq-c before, now it can be said that a step of "real oops" was inserted before starting kdump. However, in contrast to oops via SysRq-c from keyboard which results in panic due to in_interrupt(), oops via "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger" will not become panic unless panic_on_oops=1. It means that even if dump is properly configured to be taken on panic, the sysrq-c from proc interface might not start crashdump while the sysrq-c from keyboard can start crashdump. This confuses traditional users of kdump, i.e. people who expect sysrq-c to do common behavior in both of the keyboard and proc interface. This patch brings the keyboard and proc interface behavior of sysrq-c in line, by forcing panic_on_oops=1 before oops in sysrq-c handler. And some updates in documentation are included, to clarify that there is no longer dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC, and that now the system can just crash by sysrq-c if no dump mechanism is configured.

The DCCP protocol tries to allocate some large hash tables during initialisation using the largest size possible. This can be larger than what the page allocator can provide so it prints a warning. However, the caller is able to handle the situation so this patch suppresses the warning. Signed-off-by:

Mel Gorman authored
The page allocator warns once when an order >= MAX_ORDER is specified. This is to catch callers of the allocator that are always falling back to their worst-case when it was not expected. However, there are cases where the caller is behaving correctly but cannot suppress the warning. This patch allows the warning to be suppressed by the callers by specifying __GFP_NOWARN.
