Add a set-flags ioctl, allowing various option flags to be set on an nbd device. This allows the nbd-client to set the device flags (to enable read-only mode, or enable discard support, etc.). Flags are typically specified by the nbd-server. During the negotiation phase of the nbd connection, the server sends its flags to the client. The client then uses NBD_SET_FLAGS to inform the kernel of the options. Also included is a one-line fix to debug output for the set-timeout ioctl. Signed-off-by:

Modify mport initialization routine to run the RapidIO discovery process asynchronously. This allows to have an arbitrary order of enumerating and discovering ports in systems with multiple RapidIO controllers without creating a deadlock situation if enumerator port is registered after a discovering one. Making netID matching to mportID ensures consistent net ID assignment in multiport RapidIO systems with asynchronous discovery process (global counter implementation is affected by race between threads).

The following set of patches provides modifications targeting support of multiple RapidIO master port (mport) devices on a CPU-side of RapidIO-capable board. While the RapidIO subsystem code has definitions suitable for multi-controller/multi-net support, the existing implementation cannot be considered ready for multiple mport configurations. =========== NOTES: ============= a) The patches below do not address RapidIO side view of multiport processing elements defined in Part 6 of RapidIO spec Rev.2.1 (section 6.4.1). These devices have Base Device ID CSR (0x60) and Component Tag CSR (0x6C) shared by all SRIO ports. For example, Freescale's P4080, P3041 and P5020 have a dual-port SRIO controller implemented according the specification. Enumeration/discovery of such devices from RapidIO side may require device-specific fixups. b) Devices referenced above may also require implementation specific code to setup a host device ID for mport device. These operations are not addressed by patches in this package. ================================= Details about provided patches: 1. Fix blocking wait for discovery ready While it does not happen on PowerPC based platforms, there is possibility of stalled CPU warning dump on x86 based platforms that run RapidIO discovery process if they wait too long for being enumerated. Currently users can avoid it by disabling the soft-lockup detector using "nosoftlockup" kernel parameter OR by ensuring that enumeration is completed before soft-lockup is detected. This patch eliminates blocking wait and keeps a scheduler running. It also is required for patch 3 below which introduces asynchronous discovery process. 2. Use device lists handling on per-net basis This patch allows to correctly support multiple RapidIO nets and resolves possible issues caused by using single global list of devices during RapidIO system enumeration/discovery. The most common sign of existing issue is incorrect contents of switch routing tables in systems with multiple mport controllers while single-port configuration performs as expected. The patch does not eliminate the global RapidIO device list but changes some routines in enumeration/discovery to use per-net device lists instead. This way compatibility with upper layer RIO routines is preserved. 3. Run discovery as an asynchronous process This patch modifies RapidIO initialization routine to asynchronously run the discovery process for each corresponding mport. This allows having an arbitrary order of enumerating and discovering mports without creating a deadlock situation if an enumerator port was registered after a discovering one. On boards with multiple discovering mports it also eliminates order dependency between mports and may reduce total time of RapidIO subsystem initialization. Making netID matching to mportID ensures consistent netID assignment in multiport RapidIO systems with asynchronous discovery process (global counter implementation is affected by race between threads). 4. Rework RIONET to support multiple RIO master ports In the current version of the driver rionet_probe() has comment "XXX Make multi-net safe". Now it is a good time to address this comment. This patch makes RIONET driver multi-net safe/capable by introducing per-net lists of RapidIO network peers. It also enables to register network adapters for all available mport devices. 5. Add destination ID allocation mechanism The patch replaces a single global destination ID counter with per-net allocation mechanism to allow independent destID management for each available RapidIO network. Using bitmap based mechanism instead of counters allows destination ID release and reuse in systems that support hot-swap. This patch: Fix blocking wait loop in the RapidIO discovery routine to avoid warning dumps about stalled CPU on x86 platforms. Signed-off-by:

Apply port RX/TX enable operations only to active switch ports. RapidIO specification (Part 6: LP-Serial Physical Layer) recommends to keep Output Port Enable (TX) and Input Port Enable (RX) control bits in disabled state (0b0) after device reset. It also allows to have implementation specific reset state for these bits. This patch ensures that TX/RX enable action is applied only to active switch's ports while preserving an initial state of inactive ones. This patch is intended to keep inactive switch ports with inbound and outbound packet transfers disabled to block unexpected packets during hot insertion event. While it does not fix any visible malfunction it is intended to prevent such events in future. Signed-off-by:

Add common inbound memory mapping/unmapping interface. This allows to make local memory space accessible from the RapidIO side using hardware mapping capabilities of RapidIO bridging devices. The new interface is intended to enable data transfers between RapidIO devices in combination with DMA engine support.

proc_get_inode() obtains the inode via a call to iget_locked(). iget_locked() calls alloc_inode() which will call proc_alloc_inode() which clears proc_inode.fd, so there is no need to clear this field in proc_get_inode(). If iget_locked() instead found the inode via find_inode_fast(), that inode will not have I_NEW set so this change has no effect. Signed-off-by:

Existing PRSTATUS note contains only si_signo, si_code, si_errno fields from the siginfo of the signal which caused core to be dumped. There are tools which try to analyze crashes for possible security implications, and they want to use, among other data, si_addr field from the SIGSEGV. This patch adds a new elf note, NT_SIGINFO, which contains the complete siginfo_t of the signal which killed the process. Signed-off-by:

This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note. Make the location of compat_siginfo_t uniform across eight architectures which have it. Now it can be pulled in by including asm/compat.h or linux/compat.h. Most of the copies are verbatim. compat_uid[32]_t had to be replaced by __compat_uid[32]_t. compat_uptr_t had to be moved up before compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already had it moved up). compat_sigval_t had to be relocated from linux/compat.h to asm/compat.h.

Oleg Nesterov authored
Some coredump handlers want to create a core file in a way compatible with standard behavior. Standard behavior with fs.suid_dumpable = 2 is to create core file with uid=gid=0. However, there was no way for coredump handler to know that the process being dumped was suid'ed. This patch adds the new %d specifier for format_corename() which simply reports __get_dumpable(mm->flags), this is compatible with /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable we already have.

The original model of device_cgroup is having a whitelist where all the allowed devices are listed. The problem with this approach is that is impossible to have the case of allowing everything but few devices. The reason for that lies in the way the whitelist is handled internally: since there's only a whitelist, the "all devices" entry would have to be removed and replaced by the entire list of possible devices but the ones that are being denied. Since dev_t is 32 bits long, representing the allowed devices as a bitfield is not memory efficient. This patch replaces the "whitelist" by a "exceptions" list and the default policy is kept as "deny_all" variable in dev_cgroup structure. The current interface determines that whenever "a" is written to devices.allow or devices.deny, the entry masking all devices will be added or removed, respectively. This behavior is kept and it's what will determine the default policy: # cat devices.list a *:* rwm # echo a >devices.deny # cat devices.list # echo a >devices.allow # cat devices.list a *:* rwm The interface is also preserved. For example, if one wants to block only access to /dev/null: # ls -l /dev/null crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jul 24 16:17 /dev/null # echo a >devices.allow # echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.deny # cat /dev/null cat: /dev/null: Operation not permitted # echo >/dev/null bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted # echo "c 1:3 r" >devices.allow # cat /dev/null # echo >/dev/null bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted # echo "c 1:3 rw" >devices.allow # echo >/dev/null # cat /dev/null # mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted # echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.allow # echo >/dev/null # cat /dev/null # mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 # Note that I didn't rename the functions/variables in this patch, but in the next one to make reviewing easier.

A section with the name "Example" (case-insensitive) has a special meaning to kernel-doc. These sections are output using mono-type fonts. However, leading whitespace is stripped, thus robbing a lot of meaning from this, as indented code examples will be mangled. This patch preserves the leading whitespace for "Example" sections. More accurately, it preserves it for all sections, but removes it later if the section isn't an "Example" section. Signed-off-by:
