      lockref: implement lockless reference count updates using cmpxchg() · bc08b449
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Instead of taking the spinlock, the lockless versions atomically check
      that the lock is not taken, and do the reference count update using a
      cmpxchg() loop.  This is semantically identical to doing the reference
      count update protected by the lock, but avoids the "wait for lock"
      contention that you get when accesses to the reference count are
      contended.
      
      Note that a "lockref" is absolutely _not_ equivalent to an atomic_t.
      Even when the lockref reference counts are updated atomically with
      cmpxchg, the fact that they also verify the state of the spinlock means
      that the lockless updates can never happen while somebody else holds the
      spinlock.
      
      So while "lockref_put_or_lock()" looks a lot like just another name for
      "atomic_dec_and_lock()", and both optimize to lockless updates, they are
      fundamentally different: the decrement done by atomic_dec_and_lock() is
      truly independent of any lock (as long as it doesn't decrement to zero),
      so a locked region can still see the count change.
      
      The lockref structure, in contrast, really is a *locked* reference
      count.  If you hold the spinlock, the reference count will be stable and
      you can modify the reference count without using atomics, because even
      the lockless updates will see and respect the state of the lock.
      
      In order to enable the cmpxchg lockless code, the architecture needs to
      do three things:
      
       (1) Make sure that the "arch_spinlock_t" and an "unsigned int" can fit
           in an aligned u64, and have a "cmpxchg()" implementation that works
           on such a u64 data type.
      
       (2) define a helper function to test for a spinlock being unlocked
           ("arch_spin_value_unlocked()")
      
       (3) select the "ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF" config variable in its
           Kconfig file.
      
      This enables it for x86-64 (but not 32-bit, we'd need to make sure
      cmpxchg() turns into the proper cmpxchg8b in order to enable it for
      32-bit mode).

      lockref: uninline lockref helper functions · 2f4f12e5
      Linus Torvalds authored
      They aren't very good to inline, since they already call external
      functions (the spinlock code), and we're going to create rather more
      complicated versions of them that can do the reference count updates
      locklessly.

      vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using lockref_get_or_lock() · 15570086
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This moves __d_rcu_to_refcount() from <linux/dcache.h> into fs/namei.c
      and re-implements it using the lockref infrastructure instead.  It also
      adds a lot of comments about what is actually going on, because turning
      a dentry that was looked up using RCU into a long-lived reference
      counted entry is one of the more subtle parts of the rcu walk.
      
      We also used to be _particularly_ subtle in unlazy_walk() where we
      re-validate both the dentry and its parent using the same sequence
      count.  We used to do it by nesting the locks and then verifying the
      sequence count just once.
      
      That was silly, because nested locking is expensive, but the sequence
      count check is not.  So this just re-validates the dentry and the parent
      separately, avoiding the nested locking, and making the lockref lookup
      possible.

      vfs: use lockref_get_not_zero() for optimistic lockless dget_parent() · df3d0bbc
      Waiman Long authored
      A valid parent pointer is always going to have a non-zero reference
      count, but if we look up the parent optimistically without locking, we
      have to protect against the (very unlikely) race against renaming
      changing the parent from under us.
      
      We do that by using lockref_get_not_zero(), and then re-checking the
      parent pointer after getting a valid reference.
      
      [ This is a re-implementation of a chunk from the original patch by
        Waiman Long: "dcache: Enable lockless update of dentry's refcount".
        I've completely rewritten the patch-series and split it up, but I'm
        attributing this part to Waiman as it's close enough to his earlier
        patch  - Linus ]

      lockref: add 'lockref_get_or_lock() helper · b3abd802
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This behaves like "lockref_get_not_zero()", but instead of doing nothing
      if the count was zero, it returns with the lock held.
      
      This allows callers to revalidate the lockref-protected data structure
      if required even if the count was zero to begin with, and possibly
      increment the count if it passes muster.
      
      In particular, the dentry code wants this when it wants to turn an
      RCU-protected dentry into a stable refcounted one: if the dentry count
      it zero, but the sequence number still validates the dentry, we can take
      a reference to it.

      vfs: make the dentry cache use the lockref infrastructure · 98474236
      Waiman Long authored
      This just replaces the dentry count/lock combination with the lockref
      structure that contains both a count and a spinlock, and does the
      mechanical conversion to use the lockref infrastructure.
      
      There are no semantic changes here, it's purely syntactic.  The
      reference lockref implementation uses the spinlock exactly the same way
      that the old dcache code did, and the bulk of this patch is just
      expanding the internal "d_count" use in the dcache code to use
      "d_lockref.count" instead.
      
      This is purely preparation for the real change to make the reference
      count updates be lockless during the 3.12 merge window.
      
      [ As with the previous commit, this is a rewritten version of a concept
        originally from Waiman, so credit goes to him, blame for any errors
        goes to me.
      
        Waiman's patch had some semantic differences for taking advantage of
        the lockless update in dget_parent(), while this patch is
        intentionally a pure search-and-replace change with no semantic
        changes.     - Linus ]

      Add new lockref infrastructure reference implementation · 0f8f2aaa
      Waiman Long authored
      This introduces a new "lockref" structure that supports the concept of
      lockless updates of reference counts that still honor an attached
      spinlock.
      
      NOTE! This reference implementation is not the optimized lockless
      version, rather it is the fallback implementation using standard
      spinlocks.  The actual optimized versions will be merged into 3.12, but
      I wanted to get the infrastructure in place and document the new
      interfaces.
      
      [ Also note that this particular commit is drastically cut-down minimal
        version of the original patch by Waiman.  In order to properly credit
        the original author I'm marking Waiman as the author here, but in the
        end this patch bears little resemblance to the patch by Waiman.  So
        blame any errors on me editing things down to the point where I can
        introduce the infrastructure before the merge window for 3.12 actually
        opens.     - Linus ]

      Revert "fs: Allow unprivileged linkat(..., AT_EMPTY_PATH) aka flink" · f0cc6ffb
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit bb2314b4.
      
      It wasn't necessarily wrong per se, but we're still busily discussing
      the exact details of this all, so I'm going to revert it for now.
      
      It's true that you can already do flink() through /proc and that flink()
      isn't new.  But as Brad Spengler points out, some secure environments do
      not mount proc, and flink adds a new interface that can avoid path
      lookup of the source for those kinds of environments.
      
      We may re-do this (and even mark it for stable backporting back in 3.11
      and possibly earlier) once the whole discussion about the interface is done.

      powerpc/hvsi: Increase handshake timeout from 200ms to 400ms. · d220980b
      Eugene Surovegin authored
      This solves a problem observed in kexec'ed kernel where 200ms timeout is
      too short and bootconsole fails to initialize. Console did eventually
      become workable but much later into the boot process.
      
      Observed timeout was around 260ms, but I decided to make it a little bigger
      for more reliability.
      
      This has been tested on Power7 machine with Petitboot as a primary
      bootloader and PowerNV firmware.

      powerpc: Work around gcc miscompilation of __pa() on 64-bit · bdbc29c1
      Paul Mackerras authored
      On 64-bit, __pa(&static_var) gets miscompiled by recent versions of
      gcc as something like:
      
              addis 3,2,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@ha
              addi 3,3,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@l
      
      This ends up effectively ignoring the offset, since its bottom 32 bits
      are zero, and means that the result of __pa() still has 0xC in the top
      nibble.  This happens with gcc 4.8.1, at least.
      
      To work around this, for 64-bit we make __pa() use an AND operator,
      and for symmetry, we make __va() use an OR operator.  Using an AND
      operator rather than a subtraction ends up with slightly shorter code
      since it can be done with a single clrldi instruction, whereas it
      takes three instructions to form the constant (-PAGE_OFFSET) and add
      it on.  (Note that MEMORY_START is always 0 on 64-bit.)

      powerpc: Don't Oops when accessing /proc/powerpc/lparcfg without hypervisor · f5f6cbb6
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      /proc/powerpc/lparcfg is an ancient facility (though still actively used)
      which allows access to some informations relative to the partition when
      running underneath a PAPR compliant hypervisor.
      
      It makes no sense on non-pseries machines. However, currently, not only
      can it be created on these if the kernel has pseries support, but accessing
      it on such a machine will crash due to trying to do hypervisor calls.
      
      In fact, it should also not do HV calls on older pseries that didn't have
      an hypervisor either.
      
      Finally, it has the plumbing to be a module but is a "bool" Kconfig option.
      
      This fixes the whole lot by turning it into a machine_device_initcall
      that is only created on pseries, and adding the necessary hypervisor
      check before calling the H_GET_EM_PARMS hypercall

      USB: OHCI: add missing PCI PM callbacks to ohci-pci.c · 9a11899c
      Alan Stern authored
      Commit c1117afb (USB: OHCI: make ohci-pci a separate driver)
      neglected to preserve the entries for the pci_suspend and pci_resume
      driver callbacks.  As a result, OHCI controllers don't work properly
      during suspend and after hibernation.
      
      This patch adds the missing callbacks to the driver.

      staging: comedi: bug-fix NULL pointer dereference on failed attach · 3955dfa8
      Ian Abbott authored
      Commit dcd7b8bd ("staging: comedi: put
      module _after_ detach" by myself) reversed a couple of calls in
      `comedi_device_attach()` when recovering from an error returned by the
      low-level driver's 'attach' handler.  Unfortunately, that introduced a
      NULL pointer dereference bug as `dev->driver` is NULL after the call to
      `comedi_device_detach()`.   We still have a pointer to the low-level
      comedi driver structure in the `driv` variable, so use that instead.

      Merge networking fixes from David Miller:
      
       1) Revert Johannes Berg's genetlink locking fix, because it causes
          regressions.
      
          Johannes and Pravin Shelar are working on fixing things properly.
      
       2) Do not drop ipv6 ICMP messages without a redirected header option,
          they are legal.  From Duan Jiong.
      
       3) Missing error return propagation in probing of via-ircc driver.
          From Alexey Khoroshilov.
      
       4) Do not clear out broadcast/multicast/unicast/WOL bits in r8169 when
          initializing, from Peter Wu.
      
       5) realtek phy driver programs wrong interrupt status bit, from
          Giuseppe CAVALLARO.
      
       6) Fix statistics regression in AF_PACKET code, from Willem de Bruijn.
      
       7) Bridge code uses wrong bitmap length, from Toshiaki Makita.
      
       8) SFC driver uses wrong indexes to look up MAC filters, from Ben
          Hutchings.
      
       9) Don't pass stack buffers into usb control operations in hso driver,
          from Daniel Gimpelevich.
      
      10) Multiple ipv6 fragmentation headers in one packet is illegal and
          such packets should be dropped, from Hannes Frederic Sowa.
      
      11) When TCP sockets are "repaired" as part of checkpoint/restart, the
          timestamp field of SKBs need to be refreshed otherwise RTOs can be
          wildly off.  From Andrey Vagin.
      
      12) Fix memcpy args (uses 'address of pointer' instead of 'pointer') in
          hostp driver.  From Dan Carpenter.
      
      13) nl80211hdr_put() doesn't return an ERR_PTR, but some code believes
          it does.  From Dan Carpenter.
      
      14) Fix regression in wireless SME disconnects, from Johannes Berg.
      
      15) Don't use a stack buffer for DMA in zd1201 USB wireless driver, from
          Jussi Kivilinna.

      memcg: get rid of swapaccount leftovers · 07555ac1
      Michal Hocko authored
      The swapaccount kernel parameter without any values has been removed by
      commit a2c8990a ("memsw: remove noswapaccount kernel parameter") but
      it seems that we didn't get rid of all the left overs.
      
      Make sure that menuconfig help text and kernel-parameters.txt are clear
      about value for the paramter and remove the stalled comment which is not
      very much useful on its own.
