usbcore: suspending devices with no driver
Since usb_generic can be unbound from a USB device, we need to be able
to handle the possibility that a suspend or resume request arrives for a
device with no driver. This patch (as735) arranges things so that
resume requests will fail and suspend requests will use the standard USB
port-suspend code. Attempts to suspend or resume an unbound interface
are handled similarly (although the error caused by trying to resume an

This patch (as734) rationalizes the various tests of device state and

Perhaps the most interesting challenge is where the hub driver tests to
see that all the child devices are suspended before allowing itself to

straightforward, since we expect that the children _will_ be suspended.
But when CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND isn't set, it's not so clear what should be

Resuming a hub will no longer automatically resume the devices attached

usbfs: private mutex for open, release, and remove
The usbfs code doesn't provide sufficient mutual exclusion among open,
release, and remove. Release vs. remove is okay because they both
acquire the device lock, but open is not exclusive with either one. All
three routines modify the udev->filelist linked list, so they must not
run concurrently.
Apparently someone gave this a minimum amount of thought in the past by
explicitly acquiring the BKL at the start of the usbdev_open routine.
Oddly enough, there's a comment pointing out that locking is unnecessary
because chrdev_open already has acquired the BKL.
But this ignores the point that the files in /proc/bus/usb/* are not
char device files; they are regular files and so they don't get any
special locking. Furthermore it's necessary to acquire the same lock in
the release and remove routines, which the code does not do.
Yet another problem arises because the same file_operations structure is
accessible through both the /proc/bus/usb/* and /dev/usb/usbdev* file
nodes. Even when one of them has been removed, it's still possible for
userspace to open the other. So simple locking around the individual
remove routines is insufficient; we need to lock the entire
usb_notify_remove_device notifier chain.
Rather than rely on the BKL, this patch (as723) introduces a new private
mutex for the purpose. Holding the BKL while invoking a notifier chain
doesn't seem like a good idea.

This patch:
The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.
[PATCH] kdump: introduce "reset_devices" command line option
Resetting the devices during driver initialization can be a costly
operation in terms of time (especially scsi devices). This option can be
used by drivers to know that user forcibly wants the devices to be reset
during initialization.
This option can be useful while kernel is booting in unreliable
environment. For ex. during kdump boot where devices are in unknown
random state and BIOS execution has been skipped.

[PATCH] autofs4 needs to force fail return revalidate
For a long time now I have had a problem with not being able to return a
lookup failure on an existsing directory. In autofs this corresponds to a
mount failure on a autofs managed mount entry that is browsable (and so the
mount point directory exists).
While this problem has been present for a long time I've avoided resolving
it because it was not very visible. But now that autofs v5 has "mount and
expire on demand" of nested multiple mounts, such as is found when mounting
an export list from a server, solving the problem cannot be avoided any
longer.
I've tried very hard to find a way to do this entirely within the autofs4
module but have not been able to find a satisfactory way to achieve it.
So, I need to propose a change to the VFS.

[PATCH] uml: thread creation tidying
fork on UML has always somewhat subtle. The underlying cause has been the
need to initialize a stack for the new process. The only portable way to
initialize a new stack is to set it as the alternate signal stack and take a
signal. The signal handler does whatever initialization is needed and jumps
back to the original stack, where the fork processing is finished. The basic
context switching mechanism is a jmp_buf for each process. You switch to a
new process by longjmping to its jmp_buf.
Now that UML has its own implementation of setjmp and longjmp, and I can poke
around inside a jmp_buf without fear that libc will change the structure, a
much simpler mechanism is possible. The jmpbuf can simply be initialized by
hand.
This eliminates -
the need to set up and remove the alternate signal stack
sending and handling a signal
the signal blocking needed around the stack switching, since
there is no stack switching
setting up the jmp_buf needed to jump back to the original
stack after the new one is set up
In addition, since jmp_buf is now defined by UML, and not by libc, it can be
embedded in the thread struct. This makes it unnecessary to have it exist on
the stack, where it used to be. It also simplifies interfaces, since the
switch jmp_buf used to be a void * inside the thread struct, and functions
which took it as an argument needed to define a jmp_buf variable and assign it
from the void *.

This spinlock can be taken on interrupt too, so spin_lock_irq[save] must be

However, Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt explains we are called with
rtnl_lock() held - so we don't need to care about other concurrent opens.
Verified also in LDD3 and by direct checking. Also verified that the network
layer (through a state machine) guarantees us that nobody will close the
interface while it's being used. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, we must check we don't sleep with irqs disabled!!! But anyway, this is
not news - we already can't sleep while holding a spinlock. Who says this is
guaranted really by the present code?

[PATCH] NOMMU: Permit ptrace to ignore non-PROT_WRITE VMAs in NOMMU mode
Permit ptrace to modify a section that's non-shared but is marked
unwritable, such as is obtained by mapping the text segment of an ELF-FDPIC
executable binary with into a binary that's being ptraced[*].
[*] Under NOMMU conditions ptrace causes read-only MAP_PRIVATE mmaps to become
totally private copies because if a private mapping was actually shared
then the debugging setting breakpoints in it would potentially crash
other processes.
This is done by using the VM_MAYWRITE flag rather than the VM_WRITE flag
when deciding whether to permit a write.
Without this patch a debugger can't set breakpoints in the mapped text
sections of executables that are mapped read-only private, even if the
mmap() syscall has taken a private copy because PT_PTRACED is set.
In addition, VM_MAYREAD is used instead of VM_READ for similar reasons.

Implement do_no_pfn() for handling mapping of memory without a struct page
backing it. This avoids creating fake page table entries for regions which
are not backed by real memory.
This feature is used by the MSPEC driver and other users, where it is
highly undesirable to have a struct page sitting behind the page (for
instance if the page is accessed in cached mode via the struct page in
parallel to the the driver accessing it uncached, which can result in data
corruption on some architectures, such as ia64).
This version uses specific NOPFN_{SIGBUS,OOM} return values, rather than
expect all negative pfn values would be an error. It also bugs on cow
mappings as this would not work with the VM.
