Give architectures that support the new termios2 the possibilty to overide the user_termios_to_kernel_termios and kernel_termios_to_user_termios macros. As soon as all architectures that use the generic variant have been converted the ifdefs can go away again. Architectures in question are avr32, frv, powerpc and s390.

Add support for protected memory enable bits by clearing them if they are set at startup time. Some future boot loaders or firmware could have this bit set after it loads the kernel, and it needs to be cleared if DMA's are going to happen effectively.

Typical PDE creation code looks like: pde = create_proc_entry("foo", 0, NULL); if (pde) pde->proc_fops = &foo_proc_fops; Notice that PDE is first created, only then ->proc_fops is set up to final value. This is a problem because right after creation a) PDE is fully visible in /proc , and b) ->proc_fops are proc_file_operations which do not have ->open callback. So, it's possible to ->read without ->open (see one class of oopses below). The fix is new API called proc_create() which makes sure ->proc_fops are set up before gluing PDE to main tree. Typical new code looks like: pde = proc_create("foo", 0, NULL, &foo_proc_fops); if (!pde) return -ENOMEM; Fix most networking users for a start. In the long run, create_proc_entry() for regular files will go.

Long ago when the CLONE_THREAD support first went it someone thought it would be wise to point /proc/self at /proc/<tgid> instead of /proc/<pid>. Given that /proc/<tgid> can return information about a very different task (if enough things have been unshared) then our current process /proc/<tgid> seems blatantly wrong. So far I have yet to think up an example where the current behavior would be advantageous, and I can see several places where it is seriously non-intuitive. We may be stuck with the current broken behavior for backwards compatibility reasons but lets try fixing our ancient bug for the 2.6.25 time frame and see if anyone screams. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Currently (as pointed out by Oleg) do_task_stat has a race when calling task_pid_nr_ns with the task exiting. In addition do_task_stat is not currently displaying information in the context of the pid namespace that mounted the /proc filesystem. So "cut -d' ' -f 1 /proc/<pid>/stat" may not equal <pid>. This patch fixes the problem by converting to a single_open seq_file show method. Getting the pid namespace from the filesystem superblock instead of current, and simply using the the struct pid from the inode instead of attempting to get that same pid from the task.

Currently many /proc/pid files use a crufty precursor to the current seq_file api, and they don't have direct access to the pid_namespace or the pid of for which they are displaying data. So implement proc_single_file_operations to make the seq_file routines easy to use, and to give access to the full state of the pid of we are displaying data for. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Currently the IPC namespace management code is spread over the ipc/*.c files. I moved this code into ipc/namespace.c file which is compiled out when needed. The linux/ipc_namespace.h file is used to store the prototypes of the functions in namespace.c and the stubs for NAMESPACES=n case. This is done so, because the stub for copy_ipc_namespace requires the knowledge of the CLONE_NEWIPC flag, which is in sched.h. But the linux/ipc.h file itself in included into many many .c files via the sys.h->sem.h sequence so adding the sched.h into it will make all these .c depend on sched.h which is not that good. On the other hand the knowledge about the namespaces stuff is required in 4 .c files only. Besides, this patch compiles out some auxiliary functions from ipc/sem.c, msg.c and shm.c files. It turned out that moving these functions into namespaces.c is not that easy because they use many other calls and macros from the original file. Moving them would make this patch complicated. On the other hand all these functions can be consolidated, so I will send a separate patch doing this a bit later.

This patch adds extra information to the mirror status output, so that it can be determined which device(s) have failed. For each mirror device, a character is printed indicating the most severe error encountered. The characters are: * A => Alive - No failures * D => Dead - A write failure occurred leaving mirror out-of-sync * S => Sync - A sychronization failure occurred, mirror out-of-sync * R => Read - A read failure occurred, mirror data unaffected This allows userspace to properly reconfigure the mirror set.

This patch gives the ability to respond-to/record device failures that happen during read operations. It also adds the ability to read from mirror devices that are not the primary if they are in-sync. There are essentially two read paths in mirroring; the direct path and the queued path. When a read request is mapped, if the region is 'in-sync' the direct path is taken; otherwise the queued path is taken. If the direct path is taken, we must record bio information so that if the read fails we can retry it. We then discover the status of a direct read through mirror_end_io. If the read has failed, we will mark the device from which the read was attempted as failed (so we don't try to read from it again), restore the bio and try again. If the queued path is taken, we discover the results of the read from 'read_callback'. If the device failed, we will mark the device as failed and attempt the read again if there is another device where this region is known to be 'in-sync'.

This patch adds the ability to requeue write I/O to core device-mapper when there is a log device failure. If a write to the log produces and error, the pending writes are put on the "failures" list. Since the log is marked as failed, they will stay on the failures list until a suspend happens. Suspends come in two phases, presuspend and postsuspend. We must make sure that all the writes on the failures list are requeued in the presuspend phase (a requirement of dm core). This means that recovery must be complete (because writes may be delayed behind it) and the failures list must be requeued before we return from presuspend. The mechanisms to ensure recovery is complete (or stopped) was already in place, but needed to be moved from postsuspend to presuspend. We rely on 'flush_workqueue' to ensure that the mirror thread is complete and therefore, has requeued all writes in the failures list. Because we are using flush_workqueue, we must ensure that no additional 'queue_work' calls will produce additional I/O that we need to requeue (because once we return from presuspend, we are unable to do anything about it). 'queue_work' is called in response to the following functions: - complete_resync_work = NA, recovery is stopped - rh_dec (mirror_end_io) = NA, only calls 'queue_work' if it is ready to recover the region (recovery is stopped) or it needs to clear the region in the log* **this doesn't get called while suspending** - rh_recovery_end = NA, recovery is stopped - rh_recovery_start = NA, recovery is stopped - write_callback = 1) Writes w/o failures simply call bio_endio -> mirror_end_io -> rh_dec (see rh_dec above) 2) Writes with failures are put on the failures list and queue_work is called** ** write_callbacks don't happen during suspend ** - do_failures = NA, 'queue_work' not called if suspending - add_mirror (initialization) = NA, only done on mirror creation - queue_bio = NA, 1) delayed I/O scheduled before flush_workqueue is called. 2) No more I/Os are being issued. 3) Re-attempted READs can still be handled. (Write completions are handled through rh_dec/ write_callback - mention above - and do not use queue_bio.)

This patch adds the calls to 'fail_mirror' if an error occurs during mirror recovery (aka resynchronization). 'fail_mirror' is responsible for recording the type of error by mirror device and ensuring an event gets raised for the purpose of notifying userspace.

This patch gives mirror the ability to handle device failures during normal write operations. The 'write_callback' function is called when a write completes. If all the writes failed or succeeded, we report failure or success respectively. If some of the writes failed, we call fail_mirror; which increments the error count for the device, notes the type of error encountered (DM_RAID1_WRITE_ERROR), and selects a new primary (if necessary). Note that the primary device can never change while the mirror is not in-sync (IOW, while recovery is happening.) This means that the scenario where a failed write changes the primary and gives recovery_complete a chance to misread the primary never happens. The fact that the primary can change has necessitated the change to the default_mirror field. We need to protect against reading garbage while the primary changes. We then add the bio to a new list in the mirror set, 'failures'. For every bio in the 'failures' list, we call a new function, '__bio_mark_nosync', where we mark the region 'not-in-sync' in the log and properly set the region state as, RH_NOSYNC. Userspace must also be notified of the failure. This is done by 'raising an event' (dm_table_event()). If fail_mirror is called in process context the event can be raised right away. If in interrupt context, the event is deferred to the kmirrord thread - which raises the event if 'event_waiting' is set. Backwards compatibility is maintained by ignoring errors if the DM_FEATURES_HANDLE_ERRORS flag is not present.

This patch adds additional information to the status line. It is added at the end of the returned text so it will not interfere with existing implementations using this data. The addition of this information will allow for a common return interface to match that returned with the dm-raid1.c status line (with Jonathan Brassow's patches). Here is a sample of what is returned with a mirror "status" call: isw_eeaaabgfg_mirror: 0 488390920 mirror 2 8:16 8:32 3727/3727 1 AA 1 core Here's what's returned with this patch for a stripe "status" call: isw_dheeijjdej_stripe: 0 976783872 striped 2 8:16 8:32 1 AA Signed-off-by: Brian Wood <brian.j.wood@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

This patch adds the stripe_end_io function to process errors that might occur after an IO operation. As part of this there are a number of enhancements made to record and trigger events: - New atomic variable in struct stripe to record the number of errors each stripe volume device has experienced (could be used later with uevents to report back directly to userspace) - New workqueue/work struct setup to process the trigger_event function - New end_io function. It is here that testing for BIO error conditions take place. It determines the exact stripe that cause the error, records this in the new atomic variable, and calls the queue_work() function - New trigger_event function to process failure events. This calls dm_table_event() Signed-off-by: Brian Wood <brian.j.wood@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
