      lib/scatterlist: do not re-write gfp_flags in __sg_alloc_table() · e04f2283
      Mandeep Singh Baines authored
      We are seeing a lot of sg_alloc_table allocation failures using the new
      drm prime infrastructure.  We isolated the cause to code in
      __sg_alloc_table that was re-writing the gfp_flags.
      
      There is a comment in the code that suggest that there is an assumption
      about the allocation coming from a memory pool.  This was likely true
      when sg lists were primarily used for disk I/O.

      cpu: rewrite cpu-notifier-error-inject module · f5a9f52e
      Akinobu Mita authored
      Rewrite existing cpu-notifier-error-inject module to use debugfs based new
      framework.
      
      This change removes cpu_up_prepare_error and cpu_down_prepare_error module
      parameters which were used to specify error code to be injected.  We could
      keep these module parameters for backward compatibility by module_param_cb
      but it seems overkill for this module.
      
      This provides the ability to inject artifical errors to CPU notifier chain
      callbacks.  It is controlled through debugfs interface under
      /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
      
      If the notifier call chain should be failed with some events notified,
      write the error code to "actions/<notifier event>/error".
      
      Example1: inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM)
      
      	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
      	# echo -1 > actions/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE/error
      	# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
      	bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted
      
      Example2: inject CPU online error (-2 == -ENOENT)
      
      	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
      	# echo -2 > actions/CPU_UP_PREPARE/error
      	# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
      	bash: echo: write error: No such file or directory

      fault-injection: notifier error injection · 8d438288
      Akinobu Mita authored
      This patchset provides kernel modules that can be used to test the error
      handling of notifier call chain failures by injecting artifical errors to
      the following notifier chain callbacks.
      
       * CPU notifier
       * PM notifier
       * memory hotplug notifier
       * powerpc pSeries reconfig notifier
      
      Example: Inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM)
      
        # cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
        # echo -1 > actions/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE/error
        # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
        bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted
      
      The patchset also adds cpu and memory hotplug tests to
      tools/testing/selftests These tests first do simple online and offline
      test and then do fault injection tests if notifier error injection
      module is available.
      
      This patch:
      
      The notifier error injection provides the ability to inject artifical
      errors to specified notifier chain callbacks.  It is useful to test the
      error handling of notifier call chain failures.
      
      This adds common basic functions to define which type of events can be
      fail and to initialize the debugfs interface to control what error code
      should be returned and which event should be failed.

      c/r: fcntl: add F_GETOWNER_UIDS option · 1d151c33
      Cyrill Gorcunov authored
      When we restore file descriptors we would like them to look exactly as
      they were at dumping time.
      
      With help of fcntl it's almost possible, the missing snippet is file
      owners UIDs.
      
      To be able to read their values the F_GETOWNER_UIDS is introduced.
      
      This option is valid iif CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is turned on, otherwise
      returning -EINVAL.
