CMA has been enabled unconditionally on all ARMv6+ systems to solve the long standing issue of double kernel mappings for all dma coherent buffers. This however created a dependency on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL for the whole ARM architecture what should be really avoided. This patch removes this dependency and lets one use old, well-tested dma-mapping implementation also on ARMv6+ systems without the need to use EXPERIMENTAL stuff.

This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This, read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the live target. Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status line will give the block location for the current msnap. Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows: thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev> Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things that have traditionally been kernel side tasks: i) Incremental backups. By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure the data doesn't change while we back it up. A short proof of concept script can be found here: https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another. iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin. iv) Asyncronous replication.

After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to the device. Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN. With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl too. The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened. Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd (that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten milliseconds. Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due to a path failure. Such retries should be handled intelligently by the code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write commands). For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which might fail too. It can be determined if the failure happens on the device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.

If I/O needs retrying and only bypassed priority groups are available, set the pg_init_delay_retry flag to wait before retrying. If, for example, the reason for the bypass is that the controller is getting reset or there is a firmware upgrade happening, retrying right away would cause a flood of log messages and retries for what could be a few seconds or even several minutes.

This isn't the right thing to do, we should simply skip over it and continue processing the remaining options (if any).

This reverts the tty layer change to use per-tty locking, because it's not correct yet, and fixing it will require some more deep surgery. The main revert is d29f3ef3 ("tty_lock: Localise the lock"), but there are several smaller commits that built upon it, they also get reverted here. The list of reverted commits is: fde86d31 - tty: add lockdep annotations 8f6576ad - tty: fix ldisc lock inversion trace d3ca8b64 - pty: Fix lock inversion b1d679af - tty: drop the pty lock during hangup abcefe5f - tty/amiserial: Add missing argument for tty_unlock() fd11b42e - cris: fix missing tty arg in wait_event_interruptible_tty call d29f3ef3 - tty_lock: Localise the lock The revert had a trivial conflict in the 68360serial.c staging driver that got removed in the meantime.

Pull vfs fix and a fix from the signal changes for frv from Al Viro. The __kernel_nlink_t for powerpc got scrogged because 64-bit powerpc actually depended on the default "unsigned long", while 32-bit powerpc had an explicit override to "unsigned short". Al didn't notice, and made both of them be the unsigned short. The frv signal fix is fallout from simplifying the do_notify_resume() code, and leaving an extra parenthesis. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: powerpc: Fix size of st_nlink on 64bit * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: frv: Remove bogus closing parenthesis

-
Linus Torvalds authored
The config options in the Kconfig file (with _CODEPAGE_ in the name) didn't match the config option name in the Makefile (no _CODEPAGE_). And both of them were of the hard-to-read MACXYZZY variety, which made them hard to parse for normal humans: MACROMAN easily reads as "macro man", not as "Mac Roman". So rename the options to be consistent, and be NLS_MAC_xyzzy. Rename the files to be mac-xyzzy.c too, and drop the "nls" part entirely (it's already in the directory name).

When I added x32 ptrace to 3.4 kernel, I also include PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL support for x32 GDB For ARCH_GET_FS/GS, it takes a pointer to int64. But at user level, ARCH_GET_FS/GS takes a pointer to int32. So I have to add x32 ptrace to glibc to handle it with a temporary int64 passed to kernel and copy it back to GDB as int32. Roland suggested that PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL is obsolete and x32 GDB should use fs_base and gs_base fields of user_regs_struct instead. Accordingly, remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL completely from the x32 code to avoid possible memory overrun when pointer to int32 is passed to kernel.

This made our board, and possibly other boards using DTS defined partitions and not having CONFIG_MTD_OF_PARTS=y defined in the defconfig, fail to mount root.

Pull third pile of signal handling patches from Al Viro: "This time it's mostly helpers and conversions to them; there's a lot of stuff remaining in the tree, but that'll either go in -rc2 (isolated bug fixes, ideally via arch maintainers' trees) or will sit there until the next cycle." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: x86: get rid of calling do_notify_resume() when returning to kernel mode blackfin: check __get_user() return value whack-a-mole with TIF_FREEZE FRV: Optimise the system call exit path in entry.S [ver #2] FRV: Shrink TIF_WORK_MASK [ver #2] FRV: Prevent syscall exit tracing and notify_resume at end of kernel exceptions new helper: signal_delivered() powerpc: get rid of restore_sigmask() most of set_current_blocked() callers want SIGKILL/SIGSTOP removed from set set_restore_sigmask() is never called without SIGPENDING (and never should be) TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK can be set only when TIF_SIGPENDING is set don't call try_to_freeze() from do_signal() pull clearing RESTORE_SIGMASK into block_sigmask() sh64: failure to build sigframe != signal without handler openrisc: tracehook_signal_handler() is supposed to be called on success new helper: sigmask_to_save() new helper: restore_saved_sigmask() new helpers: {clear,test,test_and_clear}_restore_sigmask() HAVE_RESTORE_SIGMASK is defined on all architectures now

While testing how linux behaves on SYNFLOOD attack on multiqueue device (ixgbe), I found that SYNACK messages were dropped at Qdisc level because we send them all on a single queue. Obvious choice is to reflect incoming SYN packet @queue_mapping to SYNACK packet. Under stress, my machine could only send 25.000 SYNACK per second (for 200.000 incoming SYN per second). NIC : ixgbe with 16 rx/tx queues. After patch, not a single SYNACK is dropped.

Another problem on SYNFLOOD/DDOS attack is the inetpeer cache getting larger and larger, using lots of memory and cpu time. tcp_v4_send_synack() ->inet_csk_route_req() ->ip_route_output_flow() ->rt_set_nexthop() ->rt_init_metrics() ->inet_getpeer( create = true) This is a side effect of commit a4daad6b (net: Pre-COW metrics for TCP) added in 2.6.39 Possible solution : Instruct inet_csk_route_req() to remove FLOWI_FLAG_PRECOW_METRICS Before patch : # grep peer /proc/slabinfo inet_peer_cache 4175430 4175430 192 42 2 : tunables 0 0 0 : slabdata 99415 99415 0 Samples: 41K of event 'cycles', Event count (approx.): 30716565122 + 20,24% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] inet_getpeer + 8,19% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] peer_avl_rebalance.isra.1 + 4,81% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sha_transform + 3,64% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] fib_table_lookup + 2,36% ksoftirqd/0 [ixgbe] [k] ixgbe_poll + 2,16% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __ip_route_output_key + 2,11% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kernel_map_pages + 2,11% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ip_route_input_common + 2,01% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __inet_lookup_established + 1,83% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] md5_transform + 1,75% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] check_leaf.isra.9 + 1,49% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ipt_do_table + 1,46% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] hrtimer_interrupt + 1,45% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kmem_cache_alloc + 1,29% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] inet_csk_search_req + 1,29% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __netif_receive_skb + 1,16% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] copy_user_generic_string + 1,15% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kmem_cache_free + 1,02% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] tcp_make_synack + 0,93% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_bh + 0,87% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __call_rcu + 0,84% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] rt_garbage_collect + 0,84% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] fib_rules_lookup Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Hans Schillstrom <hans.schillstrom@ericsson.com> Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently, we terminate the eeprom access through clearing the CS by: RTL_W8 (Cfg9346, ~EE_CS); or writeb (~EE_CS, ee_addr); This would left the eeprom into "Config. Register Write Enable:" state which is not expcted as the highest two bits were set to 0x11 ( expected is the "Normal" mode (0x00)). Solving this by write 0x0 instead of ~EE_CS when terminating the eeprom access. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
