ia64 cmpxchg_local coding style fix
Quoting Keith Owens:

As a matter of coding style, I prefer

#define cmpxchg_local   cmpxchg
#define cmpxchg64_local cmpxchg64

Which makes it absolutely clear that they are the same code.  With your
patch, humans have to do a string compare of two defines to see if they
are the same.

This is not reentrant wrt NMIs and MCEs. It is only protected against normal
interrupts, but this is enough for architectures without such interrupt sources

It can be used as a fallback for architectures lacking a real cmpxchg

testing which of the generic vs architecture specific cmpxchg is the fastest
should be done.

asm-generic/cmpxchg.h defines a cmpxchg that uses cmpxchg_local. It is meant to

16 years agoSanitize the type of struct user.u_ar0
H. Peter Anvin [Thu, 7 Feb 2008 08:15:57 +0000 (00:15 -0800)]
Sanitize the type of struct user.u_ar0

struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all
architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an
a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers,
which is pointless -- <asm/user.h> is not exported to userspace, and it
just makes the code messy.

Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer
on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof()
instead of hand-coded arithmetic.

16 years agoiget: remove iget() and the read_inode() super op as being obsolete
David Howells [Thu, 7 Feb 2008 08:15:52 +0000 (00:15 -0800)]
iget: remove iget() and the read_inode() super op as being obsolete

Remove the old iget() call and the read_inode() superblock operation it uses
as these are really obsolete, and the use of read_inode() does not produce
proper error handling (no distinction between ENOMEM and EIO when marking an
inode bad).

Furthermore, this removes the temptation to use iget() to find an inode by
number in a filesystem from code outside that filesystem.

iget_locked() should be used instead.  A new function is added in an earlier
patch (iget_failed) that is to be called to mark an inode as bad, unlock it
and release it should the get routine fail.  Mark iget() and read_inode() as
being obsolete and remove references to them from the documentation.

Typically a filesystem will be modified such that the read_inode function
becomes an internal iget function, for example the following:

void thingyfs_read_inode(struct inode *inode)
{
...
}

would be changed into something like:

struct inode *thingyfs_iget(struct super_block *sp, unsigned long ino)
{
struct inode *inode;
int ret;

inode = iget_locked(sb, ino);
if (!inode)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
if (!(inode->i_state & I_NEW))
return inode;

...
unlock_new_inode(inode);
return inode;
error:
iget_failed(inode);
return ERR_PTR(ret);
}

and then thingyfs_iget() would be called rather than iget(), for example:

ret = -EINVAL;
inode = iget(sb, ino);
if (!inode || is_bad_inode(inode))
goto error;

becomes:

inode = thingyfs_iget(sb, ino);
if (IS_ERR(inode)) {
ret = PTR_ERR(inode);
goto error;
}

Note that is_bad_inode() does not need to be called.  The error returned by
thingyfs_iget() should render it unnecessary.

 (*) hppfs_iget() should perhaps subsume init_inode() and hppfs_read_inode().

 (*) It would appear that all hppfs inodes are the same inode because iget()

vmcoreinfo: rename vmcoreinfo's macros returning the size

This patchset is for the vmcoreinfo data.

The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
filtering.  makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish
unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile.

This patch:

VMCOREINFO_SIZE() should be renamed VMCOREINFO_STRUCT_SIZE() since it's always
returning the size of the struct with a given name. This change would allow
VMCOREINFO_TYPEDEF_SIZE() to simply become VMCOREINFO_SIZE() since it need not
be used exclusively for typedefs.

This patch:

Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past.  This is to avoid conflicts.

Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition

drivers/edac: pci: broken parity regression

Using the EDAC code in kernel.org kernel version 2.6.23.8 I am seeing the
following problem:

    In the kernel there is a pci device attribute located in sysfs that is
    checked by the EDAC PCI scanning code. If that attribute is set,
    PCI parity/error scannining is skipped for that device. The attribute
    is:

            broken_parity_status

    as is located in /sys/devices/pci<XXX>/0000:XX:YY.Z directorys for
    PCI devices.

I don't think this check was actually implemented.  I have a misbehaved card
that reports a parity error every 1000 ms:

Nov 25 07:28:43 beta kernel: EDAC PCI: Master Data Parity Error on 0000:05:01.0
Nov 25 07:28:44 beta kernel: EDAC PCI: Master Data Parity Error on 0000:05:01.0
Nov 25 07:28:45 beta kernel: EDAC PCI: Master Data Parity Error on 0000:05:01.0

Setting that card's broken_parity_status bit did not mask the error:

echo "1" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:05:01.0/broken_parity_status

I looked through the EDAC code and did not readily see any reference to
broken_parity_status at all (which makes sense based on the behavior I am
seeing).  I applied the following patch as a proof-of-concept and now EDAC's
PCI parity error reporting behaves as documented:

bryan

Good regression find, bryan. It used to work. sigh.
I added more logic to your patch, for more coverage of the error.

ASIC3 driver

This is a patch for the Compaq ASIC3 multi function chip, found in many
PDAs (iPAQs, HTCs...).

It is a simplified version of Paul Sokolovsky's first proposal [1].  With
this code, it is basically a GPIO and IRQ expander.  My plan is to add more
features once this patch gets reviewed and accepted.

 The read/write handlers assume, that the pid values go to/come from the user

hotplug cpu: move tasks in empty cpusets to parent various other fixes

Various minor formatting and comment tweaks to Cliff Wickman's
[PATCH_3_of_3]_cpusets__update_cpumask_revision.patch

I had had "iff", meaning "if and only if" in a comment.  However, except for
ancient mathematicians, the abbreviation "iff" was a tad too cryptic.  Cliff
changed it to "if", presumably figuring that the "iff" was a typo.  However,
it was the "only if" half of the conjunction that was most interesting.
Reword to emphasis the "only if" aspect.

The locking comment for remove_tasks_in_empty_cpuset() was wrong; it said
callback_mutex had to be held on entry.  The opposite is true.

Several mentions of attach_task() in comments needed to be
changed to cgroup_attach_task().

A comment about notify_on_release was no longer relevant,
as the line of code it had commented, namely:
set_bit(CS_RELEASED_RESOURCE, &parent->flags);
is no longer present in that place in the cpuset.c code.

Similarly a comment about notify_on_release before the
scan_for_empty_cpusets() routine was no longer relevant.

Removed extra parentheses and unnecessary return statement.

Renamed attach_task() to cpuset_attach() in various comments.

Removed comment about not needing memory migration, as it seems the migration
is done anyway, via the cpuset_attach() callback from cgroup_attach_task().

hotplug cpu: move tasks in empty cpusets to parent

This patch corrects a situation that occurs when one disables all the cpus in
a cpuset.

Currently, the disabled (cpu-less) cpuset inherits the cpus of its parent,
which is incorrect because it may then overlap its cpu-exclusive sibling.

Tasks of an empty cpuset should be moved to the cpuset which is the parent of
their current cpuset.  Or if the parent cpuset has no cpus, to its parent,
etc.

And the empty cpuset should be released (if it is flagged notify_on_release).

Depends on the cgroup_scan_tasks() function (proposed by David Rientjes) to
iterate through all tasks in the cpu-less cpuset.  We are deliberately
avoiding a walk of the tasklist.
