      mlock() fix return values · a477097d

Please find the below testcase provide to test mlock.

Test Case :
===========================

#include <sys/resource.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
  int fd,ret, i = 0;
  char *addr, *addr1 = NULL;
  unsigned int page_size;
  struct rlimit rlim;

  if (0 != geteuid())
  {
   printf("Execute this pgm as root\n");
   exit(1);
  }

  /* create a file */
  if ((fd = open("mmap_test.c",O_RDWR|O_CREAT,0755)) == -1)
  {
   printf("cant create test file\n");
   exit(1);
  }

  page_size = sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE);

  /* set the MEMLOCK limit */
  rlim.rlim_cur = 2000;
  rlim.rlim_max = 2000;

  if ((ret = setrlimit(RLIMIT_MEMLOCK,&rlim)) != 0)
  {
   printf("Cant change limit values\n");
   exit(1);
  }

  addr = 0;
  while (1)
  {
  /* map a page into memory each time*/
  if ((addr = (char *) mmap(addr,page_size, PROT_READ |
PROT_WRITE,MAP_SHARED,fd,0)) == MAP_FAILED)
  {
   printf("cant do mmap on file\n");
   exit(1);
  }

  if (0 == i)
    addr1 = addr;
  i++;
  errno = 0;
  /* lock the mapped memory pagewise*/
  if ((ret = mlock((char *)addr, 1500)) == -1)
  {
   printf("errno value is %d\n", errno);
   printf("cant lock maped region\n");
   exit(1);
  }
  addr = addr + page_size;
 }
}
======================================================

This testcase results in an mlock() failure with errno 14 that is EFAULT,
but it has nowhere been specified that mlock() will return EFAULT.  When I
tested the same on older kernels like 2.6.18, I got the correct result i.e
errno 12 (ENOMEM).

I think in source code mlock(2), setting errno ENOMEM has been missed in
do_mlock() , on mlock_fixup() failure.

SUSv3 requires the following behavior frmo mlock(2).

[ENOMEM]
    Some or all of the address range specified by the addr and
    len arguments does not correspond to valid mapped pages
    in the address space of the process.

[EAGAIN]
    Some or all of the memory identified by the operation could not
    be locked when the call was made.

This rule isn't so nice and slighly strange.  but many people think
POSIX/SUS compliance is important.

      atmel_spi: fix hang due to missed interrupt · dc329442
      Gerard Kam authored 
      For some time my at91sam9260 board with JFFS2 on serial flash (m25p80)
would hang when accessing the serial flash and SPI bus.  Slowing the SPI
clock down to 9 MHz reduced the occurrence of the hang from "always"
during boot to a nuisance level that allowed other SW development to
continue.  Finally had to address this issue when an application stresses
the I/O to always cause a hang.

Hang seems to be caused by a missed SPI interrupt, so that the task ends
up waiting forever after calling spi_sync().  The fix has 2 parts.  First
is to halt the DMA engine before the "current" PDC registers are loaded.
This ensures that the "next" registers are loaded before the DMA operation
takes off.  The second part of the fix is a kludge that adds a
"completion" interrupt in case the ENDRX interrupt for the last segment of
the DMA chaining operation was missed.

The patch allows the SPI clock for the serial flash to be increased from 9
MHz to 15 MHz (or more?).  No hangs or SPI overruns were encountered.

Haavard: while this patch does indeed improve things, I still see overruns
and CRC errors on my NGW100 board when running the DataFlash at 10 MHz.
However, I think some improvement is better than nothing, so I'm passing
this on for inclusion in 2.6.27.

      spi: S3C24XX: reset register status on resume. · 5aa6cf30
      Ben Dooks authored 
      Fix a bug in the spi_s3c24xx driver where it does not reset the registers
of the hardware when resuming from suspend (this block has been reset over
suspend).

      sparc64: Remove all cpumask_t local variables in xcall dispatch. · ae583885
      David S. Miller authored 
      All of the xcall delivery implementation is cpumask agnostic, so
we can pass around pointers to const cpumask_t objects everywhere.

The sad remaining case is the argument to arch_send_call_function_ipi().
