The natsemi chip can have a larger EEPROM attached than it itself uses for configuration. This patch adds support for user space access to such an EEPROM. Signed-off-by:

Add support for the bonding master to specify its carrier state based upon the state of the slaves. For 802.3ad, the bond is up if there is an active, parterned aggregator. For other modes, the bond is up if any slaves are up. Updates driver version to 3.0.3. Based on a patch by jamal <hadi@cyberus.ca>. Signed-off-by:

Problems with link state detection have been reported several times in the past months. Denis Vlasenko did all the work tracking it down. Jeff Garzik suggested the proper place for the fix. When using the mii library, the driver needs to check mii->force_media and set dev->state accordingly. Signed-off-by:

Initializing the b44 MAC & PCI functional blocks in the controller must occur inside init_one(). This will allow access to the MAC registers. The controller was being powered up in b44_open() which would not allow access to the registers before ifconfig was up. Philip Kohlbecher found this bug.

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and possibly buggy. We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the future. This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu. Signed-off-by:

Fix 44x and BookE page fault handler to correctly lock PTE before trying to pte_update() it, otherwise this PTE might be swapped out after pte_present() check but before pte_uptdate() call, resulting in corrupted PTE. This can happen with enabled preemption and low memory condition. Signed-off-by:

send_sigqueue() checks PF_EXITING, then locks p->sighand->siglock. This is unsafe: 'p' can exit in between and set ->sighand = NULL. The race is theoretical, the window is tiny and irqs are disabled by the caller, so I don't think we need the fix for -stable tree. Convert send_sigqueue() to use lock_task_sighand() helper. Also, delete 'p->flags & PF_EXITING' re-check, it is unneeded and the comment is wrong. Signed-off-by:

Oleg Nesterov authored
do_signal_stop() considers 'thread_group_empty()' as a special case. This was needed to avoid taking tasklist_lock. Since this lock is unneeded any longer, we can remove this special case and simplify the code even more. Also, before this patch, finish_stop() was called with stop_count == -1 for 'thread_group_empty()' case. This is not strictly wrong, but confusing and unneeded. Signed-off-by:

This also means that SIGSTOP or sig_kernel_coredump() signal can't be delivered to pgrp/session reliably. With this patch copy_process() returns -ERESTARTNOINTR when it detects a pending signal, fork() will be restarted transparently after handling the signals. This patch also deletes now unneeded "group_stop_count > 0" check, copy_process() can no longer succeed while group stop in progress. Signed-off-by:

This patch kills PIDTYPE_TGID pid_type thus saving one hash table in kernel/pid.c and speeding up subthreads create/destroy a bit. It is also a preparation for the further tref/pids rework. This patch adds 'struct list_head thread_group' to 'struct task_struct' instead. We don't detach group leader from PIDTYPE_PID namespace until another thread inherits it's ->pid == ->tgid, so we are safe wrt premature free_pidmap(->tgid) call. Currently there are no users of find_task_by_pid_type(PIDTYPE_TGID). Should the need arise, we can use find_task_by_pid()->group_leader. Signed-off-by:

sys_times: don't take tasklist_lock Signed-off-by:

Oleg Nesterov authored
This patch moves __unhash_process() call from realease_task() to __exit_signal(), so __detach_pid() is called with ->siglock held. This means we don't need tasklist_lock to iterate over thread group anymore: copy_process() was already changed to do attach_pid() under ->siglock. Eric's "pidhash-kill-switch_exec_pids.patch" from -mm changed de_thread() so it doesn't touch PIDTYPE_TGID. NOTE: de_thread() still needs some attention. It still changes task->pid lockless. Taking ->sighand.siglock here allows to do more tasklist_lock removals. Signed-off-by:

This patch reverts 'CONFIG_SMP && thread_group_empty()' optimization in sys_times(). The reason is that the next patch breaks memory ordering which is needed for that optimization. tasklist_lock in sys_times() will be eliminated completely by further patch. Signed-off-by:

__exit_signal() is private to release_task() now. I think it is better to make it static in kernel/exit.c and export flush_sigqueue() instead - this function is much more simple and straightforward. Signed-off-by:

Cosmetic, rename __exit_sighand to cleanup_sighand and move it close to copy_sighand(). This matches copy_signal/cleanup_signal naming, and I think it is easier to follow. Signed-off-by:

Oleg Nesterov authored
__exit_signal() does important cleanups atomically under ->siglock. It is also called from copy_process's error path. This is not good, for example we can't move __unhash_process() under ->siglock for that reason. We should not mix these 2 paths, just look at ugly 'if (p->sighand)' under 'bad_fork_cleanup_sighand:' label. For copy_process() case it is sufficient to just backout copy_signal(), nothing more. Again, nobody can see this task yet. For CLONE_THREAD case we just decrement signal->count, otherwise nobody can see this ->signal and we can free it lockless. This patch assumes it is safe to do exit_thread_group_keys() without tasklist_lock. Signed-off-by:

The only caller of exit_sighand(tsk) is copy_process's error path. We can call __exit_sighand() directly and kill exit_sighand(). This 'tsk' was not yet registered in pid_hash[] or init_task.tasks, it has no external references, nobody can see it, and IF (clone_flags & CLONE_SIGHAND) At least 'current' has a reference to ->sighand, this means atomic_dec_and_test(sighand->count) can't be true. ELSE Nobody can see this ->sighand, this means we can free it without any locking. Signed-off-by:

Oleg Nesterov authored
Add lock_task_sighand() helper and converts group_send_sig_info() to use it. Hopefully we will have more users soon. This patch also removes '!sighand->count' and '!p->usage' checks, I think they both are bogus, racy and unneeded (but probably it makes sense to restore them as BUG_ON()s). ->sighand is cleared and it's ->count is decremented in release_task() with sighand->siglock held, so it is a bug to have '!p->usage || !->count' after we already locked and verified it is the same. On the other hand, an already dead task without ->sighand can have a non-zero ->usage due to ptrace, for example. If we read the stale value of ->sighand we must see the change after spin_lock(), because that change was done while holding that same old ->sighand.siglock. Signed-off-by:
