Currently we have a maze of configuration variables that determine the
maximum slab size. Worst of all it seems to vary between SLAB and SLUB.
So define a common maximum size for kmalloc. For conveniences sake we use
the maximum size ever supported which is 32 MB. We limit the maximum size
to a lower limit if MAX_ORDER does not allow such large allocations.
For many architectures this patch will have the effect of adding large
kmalloc sizes. x86_64 adds 5 new kmalloc sizes. So a small amount of
memory will be needed for these caches (contemporary SLAB has dynamically
sizeable node and cpu structure so the waste is less than in the past)
Most architectures will then be able to allocate object with sizes up to
MAX_ORDER. We have had repeated breakage (in fact whenever we doubled the
number of supported processors) on IA64 because one or the other struct
grew beyond what the slab allocators supported. This will avoid future
issues and f.e. avoid fixes for 2k and 4k cpu support.
CONFIG_LARGE_ALLOCS is no longer necessary so drop it.
It fixes sparc64 with SLAB.

I'm getting zillions of undefined references to __kmalloc_size_too_large on
alpha. For some reason alpha is building out-of-line copies of kmalloc_slab()
into lots of compilation units.
It turns out that gcc just isn't smart enough to work out that
__builtin_contant_p(size)==true implies that __builtin_contant_p(index)==true.
So let's give it a bit of help.

There is no user of destructors left. There is no reason why we should keep
checking for destructors calls in the slab allocators.
The RFC for this patch was discussed at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=117882364330705&w=2
Destructors were mainly used for list management which required them to take a
spinlock. Taking a spinlock in a destructor is a bit risky since the slab
allocators may run the destructors anytime they decide a slab is no longer
needed.
Patch drops destructor support. Any attempt to use a destructor will BUG().

Our assumption that most distros issue STANDBYNOW seems wrong. The
upstream sysvinit and thus many distros including gentoo and opensuse
don't take any action for libata disks on spindown. We can skip
compat handling for these distros so that they don't need to update
anything to take advantage of kernel-side shutdown.

Whether a controller needs IDE or SATA ACPI hierarchy is determined by
the programming interface of the controller not by whether the
controller is SATA or PATA, or it supports slave device or not. This
patch adds ATA_FLAG_ACPI_SATA port flags which tells libata-acpi that
the port needs SATA ACPI nodes, and sets the flag for ahci and
sata_sil24.

Device might be resized during ata_dev_configure() due to HPA or
(later) ACPI _GTF. Currently it's worked around by caching n_sectors
before turning off HPA. The cached original size is overwritten if
the device is reconfigured without being hardreset - which always
happens after configuring trasnfer mode. If the device gets hardreset
for some reason after that, revalidation fails with -ENODEV.
This patch makes size checking more robust by moving n_sectors check
from ata_dev_reread_id() to ata_dev_revalidate() after the device is
fully configured. No matter what happens during configuration, a
device must have the same n_sectors after fully configured to be
treated as the same device.

ide_use_dma() duplicates a lot of ide_max_dma_mode() functionality
and as all users of ide_use_dma() were converted to use ide_tune_dma()
now it is possible to add missing checks to ide_tune_dma() and remove
ide_use_dma() completely, so do it.
There should be no functionality changes caused by this patch.

After examining what was checked in and the code base I discovered that most
of 86c0baf123e474b6eb404798926ecf62b426bf3a wasn't necessary anymore....
So here's a patch that reverts the last part of that changeset:
Revert part of 86c0baf123e474b6eb404798926ecf62b426bf3a.
The kernel has moved forward to a state where the original change is not
necessary. After porting forward, this final version of the patch was
applied and broke non-x86 architectures.

lib/ioremap.c is presently only built in if CONFIG_MMU is set. While this
is reasonable, platforms that support both CONFIG_MMU=y or n need to be
able to call in to this regardless.
As none of the current nommu platforms do anything special with ioremap(),
we assume that it's always successful.
This fixes the SH-4 build with CONFIG_MMU=n.

libata enables SCSI host during ATA host activation which happens
after IRQ handler is registered and IRQ is enabled. All ATA ports are
in frozen state when IRQ is enabled but frozen ports may raise limited
number of IRQs after being frozen - IOW, ->freeze() is not responsible
for clearing pending IRQs. During normal operation, the IRQ handler
is responsible for clearing spurious IRQs on frozen ports and it
usually doesn't require any extra code.
Unfortunately, during host initialization, the IRQ handler can end up
scheduling EH for a port whose SCSI host isn't initialized yet. This
results in OOPS in the SCSI midlayer. This is relatively short window
and scheduling EH for probing is the first thing libata does after
initialization, so ignoring EH scheduling until initialization is
complete solves the problem nicely.
This problem was spotted by Berck E. Nash in the following thread.

The intention of using port_mask in SFF init helpers was to eventually
support exoctic configurations such as combination of legacy and
native port on the same controller. This never became actually
necessary and the related code always has been subtly broken one way
or the other. Now that new init model is in place, there is no reason
to make common helpers capable of handling all corner cases. Exotic
cases can simply dealt within LLDs as necessary.
This patch removes port_mask handling in SFF init helpers. SFF init
helpers don't take n_ports argument and interpret it into port_mask
anymore. All information is carried via port_info. n_ports argument
is dropped and always two ports are allocated. LLD can tell SFF to
skip certain port by marking it dummy. Note that SFF code has been
treating unuvailable ports this way for a long time until recent
breakage fix from Linus and is consistent with how other drivers
handle with unavailable ports.
This fixes 1-port legacy host handling still broken after the recent
native mode fix and simplifies SFF init logic. The following changes
are made...
* ata_pci_init_native_host() and ata_init_legacy_host() both now try
to initialized whatever they can and mark failed ports dummy. They
return 0 if any port is successfully initialized.
* ata_pci_prepare_native_host() and ata_pci_init_one() now doesn't
take n_ports argument. All info should be specified via port_info
array. Always two ports are allocated.
* ata_pci_init_bmdma() exported to be used by LLDs in exotic cases.
* port_info handling in all LLDs are standardized - all port_info
arrays are const stack variable named ppi. Unless the second port
is different from the first, its port_info is specified as NULL
(tells libata that it's identical to the last non-NULL port_info).
* pata_hpt37x/hpt3x2n: don't modify static variable directly. Make an
on-stack copy instead as ata_piix does.
* pata_uli: It has 4 ports instead of 2. Don't use
ata_pci_prepare_native_host(). Allocate the host explicitly and use
init helpers. It's simple enough.

Reimplement suspend/resume support using sdev->manage_start_stop.
* Device suspend/resume is now SCSI layer's responsibility and the
code is simplified a lot.
* DPM is dropped. This also simplifies code a lot. Suspend/resume
status is port-wide now.
* ata_scsi_device_suspend/resume() and ata_dev_ready() removed.
* Resume now has to wait for disk to spin up before proceeding. I
couldn't find easy way out as libata is in EH waiting for the
disk to be ready and sd is waiting for EH to complete to issue
START_STOP.
* sdev->manage_start_stop is set to 1 in ata_scsi_slave_config().
This fixes spindown on shutdown and suspend-to-disk.

to generic_make_request can use up a lot of space, and we would rather they
didn't.
As generic_make_request is a void function, and as it is generally not
expected that it will have any effect immediately, it is safe to delay any
call to generic_make_request until there is sufficient stack space
available.
As ->bi_next is reserved for the driver to use, it can have no valid value
when generic_make_request is called, and as __make_request implicitly
assumes it will be NULL (ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE fork of switch) we can be
certain that all callers set it to NULL. We can therefore safely use
bi_next to link pending requests together, providing we clear it before
making the real call.
So, we choose to allow each thread to only be active in one
generic_make_request at a time. If a subsequent (recursive) call is made,
the bio is linked into a per-thread list, and is handled when the active
call completes.
As the list of pending bios is per-thread, there are no locking issues to
worry about.
I say above that it is "safe to delay any call...". There are, however,
some behaviours of a make_request_fn which would make it unsafe. These
include any behaviour that assumes anything will have changed after a
recursive call to generic_make_request.
These could include:
- waiting for that call to finish and call it's bi_end_io function.
md use to sometimes do this (marking the superblock dirty before
completing a write) but doesn't any more
- inspecting the bio for fields that generic_make_request might
change, such as bi_sector or bi_bdev. It is hard to see a good
reason for this, and I don't think anyone actually does it.
- inspecing the queue to see if, e.g. it is 'full' yet. Again, I
think this is very unlikely to be useful, or to be done.

I can see nothing wrong with this in principle.
For device-mapper at the moment though it's essential that, while the bio
mappings may now get delayed, they still get processed in exactly
the same order as they were passed to generic_make_request().
My main concern is whether the timing changes implicit in this patch
will make the rare data-corrupting races in the existing snapshot code
more likely. (I'm working on a fix for these races, but the unfinished
patch is already several hundred lines long.)
It would be helpful if some people on this mailing list would test
this patch in various scenarios and report back.

Hi,
I have been working on some code that detects abnormal events based on audit
system events. One kind of event that we currently have no visibility for is
when a program terminates due to segfault - which should never happen on a
production machine. And if it did, you'd want to investigate it. Attached is a
patch that collects these events and sends them into the audit system.

When auditing syscalls that send signals, log the pid and security
context for each target process. Optimize the data collection by
adding a counter for signal-related rules, and avoiding allocating an
aux struct unless we have more than one target process. For process
groups, collect pid/context data in blocks of 16. Move the
audit_signal_info() hook up in check_kill_permission() so we audit
attempts where permission is denied.

Certain versions of Cypress USB barcode readers (this problem is known to
happen at least with PIDs 0xde61 and 0xde64) have report descriptor which
has swapped usage min and usage max tag. This results in HID parser failing
for report descriptor of these devices, as it (wrongly) requires allocating
more usages than HID_MAX_USAGES.
Solve this by walking through the report descriptor for such devices, and swap
the usage min and usage max items (and their values) to be in proper order.

These days the link watch mechanism is an integral part of the
network subsystem as it manages the carrier status. So it now
makes sense to allocate some memory for it in net_device rather
than allocating it on demand.
In fact, this is necessary because we can't tolerate a memory
allocation failure since that means we'd have to potentially
throw a link up event away.
It also simplifies the code greatly.
In doing so I discovered a subtle race condition in the use
of singleevent. This race condition still exists (and is
somewhat magnified) without singleevent but it's now plugged
thanks to an smp_mb__before_clear_bit.

This is an example about how to add eventfd support to the current KAIO code,
in order to enable KAIO to post readiness events to a pollable fd (hence
compatible with POSIX select/poll). The KAIO code simply signals the eventfd
fd when events are ready, and this triggers a POLLIN in the fd. This patch
uses a reserved for future use member of the struct iocb to pass an eventfd
file descriptor, that KAIO will use to post events every time a request
completes. At that point, an aio_getevents() will return the completed result
to a struct io_event. I made a quick test program to verify the patch, and it
runs fine here:
http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-aio-test.c
The test program uses poll(2), but it'd, of course, work with select and epoll
too.
This can allow to schedule both block I/O and other poll-able devices
requests, and wait for results using select/poll/epoll. In a typical
scenario, an application would submit KAIO request using aio_submit(), and
will also use epoll_ctl() on the whole other class of devices (that with the
addition of signals, timers and user events, now it's pretty much complete),
and then would:
epoll_wait(...);
for_each_event {
if (curr_event_is_kaiofd) {
aio_getevents();
dispatch_aio_events();
} else {
dispatch_epoll_event();
}
}

This is a very simple and light file descriptor, that can be used as event
wait/dispatch by userspace (both wait and dispatch) and by the kernel
(dispatch only). It can be used instead of pipe(2) in all cases where those
would simply be used to signal events. Their kernel overhead is much lower
than pipes, and they do not consume two fds. When used in the kernel, it can
offer an fd-bridge to enable, for example, functionalities like KAIO or
syslets/threadlets to signal to an fd the completion of certain operations.
But more in general, an eventfd can be used by the kernel to signal readiness,
in a POSIX poll/select way, of interfaces that would otherwise be incompatible
with it. The API is:
int eventfd(unsigned int count);
The eventfd API accepts an initial "count" parameter, and returns an eventfd
fd. It supports poll(2) (POLLIN, POLLOUT, POLLERR), read(2) and write(2).
The POLLIN flag is raised when the internal counter is greater than zero.
The POLLOUT flag is raised when at least a value of "1" can be written to the
internal counter.
The POLLERR flag is raised when an overflow in the counter value is detected.
The write(2) operation can never overflow the counter, since it blocks (unless
O_NONBLOCK is set, in which case -EAGAIN is returned).
But the eventfd_signal() function can do it, since it's supposed to not sleep
during its operation.
The read(2) function reads the __u64 counter value, and reset the internal
value to zero. If the value read is equal to (__u64) -1, an overflow happened
on the internal counter (due to 2^64 eventfd_signal() posts that has never
been retired - unlickely, but possible).
The write(2) call writes an __u64 count value, and adds it to the current
counter. The eventfd fd supports O_NONBLOCK also.
On the kernel side, we have:
struct file *eventfd_fget(int fd);
int eventfd_signal(struct file *file, unsigned int n);
The eventfd_fget() should be called to get a struct file* from an eventfd fd
(this is an fget() + check of f_op being an eventfd fops pointer).
The kernel can then call eventfd_signal() every time it wants to post an event
to userspace. The eventfd_signal() function can be called from any context.
An eventfd() simple test and bench is available here:
http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-bench.c
This is the eventfd-based version of pipetest-4 (pipe(2) based):
http://www.xmailserver.org/pipetest-4.c
Not that performance matters much in the eventfd case, but eventfd-bench
shows almost as double as performance than pipetest-4.

This patch introduces a new system call for timers events delivered though
file descriptors. This allows timer event to be used with standard POSIX
poll(2), select(2) and read(2). As a consequence of supporting the Linux
f_op->poll subsystem, they can be used with epoll(2) too.
The system call is defined as:
int timerfd(int ufd, int clockid, int flags, const struct itimerspec *utmr);
The "ufd" parameter allows for re-use (re-programming) of an existing timerfd
w/out going through the close/open cycle (same as signalfd). If "ufd" is -1,
s new file descriptor will be created, otherwise the existing "ufd" will be
re-programmed.
The "clockid" parameter is either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME. The time
specified in the "utmr->it_value" parameter is the expiry time for the timer.
If the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME flag is set in "flags", this is an absolute time,
otherwise it's a relative time.
If the time specified in the "utmr->it_interval" is not zero (.tv_sec == 0,
tv_nsec == 0), this is the period at which the following ticks should be
generated.
The "utmr->it_interval" should be set to zero if only one tick is requested.
Setting the "utmr->it_value" to zero will disable the timer, or will create a
timerfd without the timer enabled.
The function returns the new (or same, in case "ufd" is a valid timerfd
descriptor) file, or -1 in case of error.
As stated before, the timerfd file descriptor supports poll(2), select(2) and
epoll(2). When a timer event happened on the timerfd, a POLLIN mask will be
returned.
The read(2) call can be used, and it will return a u32 variable holding the
number of "ticks" that happened on the interface since the last call to
read(2). The read(2) call supportes the O_NONBLOCK flag too, and EAGAIN will
be returned if no ticks happened.

This patch series implements the new signalfd() system call.
I took part of the original Linus code (and you know how badly it can be
broken :), and I added even more breakage ;) Signals are fetched from the same
signal queue used by the process, so signalfd will compete with standard
kernel delivery in dequeue_signal(). If you want to reliably fetch signals on
the signalfd file, you need to block them with sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK). This
seems to be working fine on my Dual Opteron machine. I made a quick test
program for it:
http://www.xmailserver.org/signafd-test.c
The signalfd() system call implements signal delivery into a file descriptor
receiver. The signalfd file descriptor if created with the following API:
int signalfd(int ufd, const sigset_t *mask, size_t masksize);
The "ufd" parameter allows to change an existing signalfd sigmask, w/out going
to close/create cycle (Linus idea). Use "ufd" == -1 if you want a brand new
signalfd file.
The "mask" allows to specify the signal mask of signals that we are interested
in. The "masksize" parameter is the size of "mask".
The signalfd fd supports the poll(2) and read(2) system calls. The poll(2)
will return POLLIN when signals are available to be dequeued. As a direct
consequence of supporting the Linux poll subsystem, the signalfd fd can use
used together with epoll(2) too.
The read(2) system call will return a "struct signalfd_siginfo" structure in
the userspace supplied buffer. The return value is the number of bytes copied
in the supplied buffer, or -1 in case of error. The read(2) call can also
return 0, in case the sighand structure to which the signalfd was attached,
has been orphaned. The O_NONBLOCK flag is also supported, and read(2) will
return -EAGAIN in case no signal is available.
If the size of the buffer passed to read(2) is lower than sizeof(struct
signalfd_siginfo), -EINVAL is returned. A read from the signalfd can also
return -ERESTARTSYS in case a signal hits the process. The format of the
struct signalfd_siginfo is, and the valid fields depends of the (->code &
__SI_MASK) value, in the same way a struct siginfo would:
struct signalfd_siginfo {
__u32 signo; /* si_signo */
__s32 err; /* si_errno */
__s32 code; /* si_code */
__u32 pid; /* si_pid */
__u32 uid; /* si_uid */
__s32 fd; /* si_fd */
__u32 tid; /* si_fd */
__u32 band; /* si_band */
__u32 overrun; /* si_overrun */
__u32 trapno; /* si_trapno */
__s32 status; /* si_status */
__s32 svint; /* si_int */
__u64 svptr; /* si_ptr */
__u64 utime; /* si_utime */
__u64 stime; /* si_stime */

};
