2010-11-10block: remove REQ_HARDBARRIERChristoph Hellwig
REQ_HARDBARRIER is dead now, so remove the leftovers. What's left at this point is: - various checks inside the block layer. - sanity checks in bio based drivers. - now unused bio_empty_barrier helper. - Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while, but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton. - setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi drivers. - scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been removed when flushes were converted to FS requests. - blktrace handling of barriers - removed. Someone who knows blktrace better should add support for REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA, though. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2010-11-05posix-cpu-timers: workaround to suppress the problems with mt execOleg Nesterov
posix-cpu-timers.c correctly assumes that the dying process does posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() and removes all !CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD timers from signal->cpu_timers list. But, it also assumes that timer->it.cpu.task is always the group leader, and thus the dead ->task means the dead thread group. This is obviously not true after de_thread() changes the leader. After that almost every posix_cpu_timer_ method has problems. It is not simple to fix this bug correctly. First of all, I think that timer->it.cpu should use struct pid instead of task_struct. Also, the locking should be reworked completely. In particular, tasklist_lock should not be used at all. This all needs a lot of nontrivial and hard-to-test changes. Change __exit_signal() to do posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() when the old leader dies during exec. This is not the fix, just the temporary hack to hide the problem for 2.6.37 and stable. IOW, this is obviously wrong but this is what we currently have anyway: cpu timers do not work after mt exec. In theory this change adds another race. The exiting leader can detach the timers which were attached to the new leader. However, the window between de_thread() and release_task() is small, we can pretend that sys_timer_create() was called before de_thread().

2010-11-05Clean up relay_alloc_page_array() slightly by using vzalloc rather than ↵Jesper Juhl
vmalloc and memset We can optimize kernel/relay.c::relay_alloc_page_array() slightly by using vzalloc. The patch makes these changes: - use vzalloc instead of vmalloc+memset. - remove redundant local variable 'array'. - declare local 'pa_size' as const. Cuts down nicely on both source and object-code size.

2010-10-30audit: Call tty_audit_push_task() outside preempt disabledThomas Gleixner
While auditing all tasklist_lock read_lock sites I stumbled over the following call chain: audit_prepare_user_tty() read_lock(&tasklist_lock); tty_audit_push_task(); mutex_lock(&buf->mutex); --> buf->mutex is locked with preemption disabled. Solve this by acquiring a reference to the task struct under rcu_read_lock and call tty_audit_push_task outside of the preempt disabled region.

2010-10-28jump label: Fix deadlock b/w jump_label_mutex vs. text_mutexJason Baron
register_kprobe() downs the 'text_mutex' and then calls jump_label_text_reserved(), which downs the 'jump_label_mutex'. However, the jump label code takes those mutexes in the reverse order. Fix by requiring the caller of jump_label_text_reserved() to do the jump label locking via the newly added: jump_label_lock(), jump_label_unlock(). Currently, kprobes is the only user of jump_label_text_reserved().

2010-10-28jump label: Fix module __init section raceJason Baron
Jump label uses is_module_text_address() to ensure that the module __init sections are valid before updating them. However, between the check for a valid module __init section and the subsequent jump label update, the module's __init section could be freed out from under us. We fix this potential race by adding a notifier callback to the MODULE_STATE_LIVE state. This notifier is called *after* the __init section has been run but before it is going to be freed. In the callback, the jump label code zeros the key value for any __init jump code within the module, and we add a check for a non-zero key value when we update jump labels. In this way we require no additional data structures. Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for pointing out this race condition.

2010-10-27/proc/stat: fix scalability of irq sum of all cpuKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
In /proc/stat, the number of per-IRQ event is shown by making a sum each irq's events on all cpus. But we can make use of kstat_irqs(). kstat_irqs() do the same calculation, If !CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ, it's not a big cost. (Both of the number of cpus and irqs are small.) If a system is very big and CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ, it does for_each_irq() for_each_cpu() - look up a radix tree - read desc->irq_stat[cpu] This seems not efficient. This patch adds kstat_irqs() for CONFIG_GENRIC_HARDIRQ and change the calculation as for_each_irq() look up radix tree for_each_cpu() - read desc->irq_stat[cpu] This reduces cost.

2010-10-27signals: annotate lock_task_sighand()Namhyung Kim
lock_task_sighand() grabs sighand->siglock in case of returning non-NULL but unlock_task_sighand() releases it unconditionally. This leads sparse to complain about the lock context imbalance. Rename and wrap lock_task_sighand() using __cond_lock() macro to make sparse happy.

2010-10-27ptrace: change signature of sys_ptrace() and friendsNamhyung Kim
Since userspace API of ptrace syscall defines @addr and @data as void pointers, it would be more appropriate to define them as unsigned long in kernel. Therefore related functions are changed also. 'unsigned long' is typically used in other places in kernel as an opaque data type and that using this helps cleaning up a lot of warnings from sparse.

2010-10-27cgroup: make the mount options parsing more accurateDaniel Lezcano
Current behavior: ================= (1) When we mount a cgroup, we can specify the 'all' option which means to enable all the cgroup subsystems. This is the default option when no option is specified. (2) If we want to mount a cgroup with a subset of the supported cgroup subsystems, we have to specify a subsystems name list for the mount option. (3) If we specify another option like 'noprefix' or 'release_agent', the actual code wants the 'all' or a subsystem name option specified also. Not critical but a bit not friendly as we should assume (1) in this case. (4) Logically, the 'all' option is mutually exclusive with a subsystem name, but this is not detected. In other words: succeed : mount -t cgroup -o all,freezer cgroup /cgroup => is it 'all' or 'freezer' ? fails : mount -t cgroup -o noprefix cgroup /cgroup => succeed if we do '-o noprefix,all' The following patches consolidate a bit the mount options check. New behavior: ============= (1) untouched (2) untouched (3) the 'all' option will be by default when specifying other than a subsystem name option (4) raises an error In other words: fails : mount -t cgroup -o all,freezer cgroup /cgroup succeed : mount -t cgroup -o noprefix cgroup /cgroup For the sake of lisibility, the if ... then ... else ... if ... indentation when parsing the options has been changed to: if ... then ... continue fi Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Serge E.

2010-10-27cgroup: add clone_children control fileDaniel Lezcano
The ns_cgroup is a control group interacting with the namespaces. When a new namespace is created, a corresponding cgroup is automatically created too. The cgroup name is the pid of the process who did 'unshare' or the child of 'clone'. This cgroup is tied with the namespace because it prevents a process to escape the control group and use the post_clone callback, so the child cgroup inherits the values of the parent cgroup. Unfortunately, the more we use this cgroup and the more we are facing problems with it: (1) when a process unshares, the cgroup name may conflict with a previous cgroup with the same pid, so unshare or clone return -EEXIST (2) the cgroup creation is out of control because there may have an application creating several namespaces where the system will automatically create several cgroups in his back and let them on the cgroupfs (eg. a vrf based on the network namespace). (3) the mix of (1) and (2) force an administrator to regularly check and clean these cgroups. This patchset removes the ns_cgroup by adding a new flag to the cgroup and the cgroupfs mount option. It enables the copy of the parent cgroup when a child cgroup is created. We can then safely remove the ns_cgroup as this flag brings a compatibility. We have now to manually create and add the task to a cgroup, which is consistent with the cgroup framework. This patch: Sent as an answer to a previous thread around the ns_cgroup. https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018627.html It adds a control file 'clone_children' for a cgroup. This control file is a boolean specifying if the child cgroup should be a clone of the parent cgroup or not. The default value is 'false'. This flag makes the child cgroup to call the post_clone callback of all the subsystem, if it is available. At present, the cpuset is the only one which had implemented the post_clone callback. The option can be set at mount time by specifying the 'clone_children' mount option. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Serge E.

2010-10-27cgroup_freezer: update_freezer_state() does incorrect state transitionsTomasz Buchert
There are 4 state transitions possible for a freezer. Only FREEZING -> FROZEN transaction is done lazily. This patch allows update_freezer_state only to perform this transaction and renames the function to update_if_frozen. Moreover is_task_frozen_enough function is removed and its every occurence is replaced with frozen(). Therefore for a group to become FROZEN every task must be frozen. The previous version could trigger a following bug: When cgroup is in the process of freezing (but none of its tasks are frozen yet), update_freezer_state() (called from freezer_read or freezer_write) would incorrectly report that a group is 'THAWED' (because nfrozen = 0), allowing the transaction FREEZING -> THAWED without writing anything to 'freezer.state'. This is incorrect according to the documentation. This could result in a 'THAWED' cgroup with frozen tasks inside.

2010-10-27cgroup_freezer: fix can_attach() to prohibit moving from/to freezing/frozen ↵Tomasz Buchert
cgroups It is possible to move a task from its cgroup even if this group is 'FREEZING'. This results in a nasty bug - the moved task will become frozen OUTSIDE its original cgroup and will remain in a permanent 'D' state. This patch allows to migrate the task only between THAWED cgroups. This behavior was observed and easily reproduced on a single core laptop. Notice that reproducibility depends highly on the machine used.
