This patch changes the security_inode_init_security API by adding a
filesystem specific callback to write security extended attributes.
This change is in preparation for supporting the initialization of
multiple LSM xattrs and the EVM xattr. Initially the callback function
walks an array of xattrs, writing each xattr separately, but could be
optimized to write multiple xattrs at once.
For existing security_inode_init_security() calls, which have not yet
been converted to use the new callback function, such as those in
reiserfs and ocfs2, this patch defines security_old_inode_init_security().

Under heavy memory and filesystem load, users observe the assertion
mapping->nrpages == 0 in end_writeback() trigger. This can be caused by
page reclaim reclaiming the last page from a mapping in the following
race:
CPU0 CPU1
...
shrink_page_list()
__remove_mapping()
__delete_from_page_cache()
radix_tree_delete()
evict_inode()
truncate_inode_pages()
truncate_inode_pages_range()
pagevec_lookup() - finds nothing
end_writeback()
mapping->nrpages != 0 -> BUG
page->mapping = NULL
mapping->nrpages--
Fix the problem by doing a reliable check of mapping->nrpages under
mapping->tree_lock in end_writeback().

Although it is used (by i915) on nothing but tmpfs, read_cache_page_gfp()
is unsuited to tmpfs, because it inserts a page into pagecache before
calling the filesystem's ->readpage: tmpfs may have pages in swapcache
which only it knows how to locate and switch to filecache.
At present tmpfs provides a ->readpage method, and copes with this by
copying pages; but soon we can simplify it by removing its ->readpage.
Provide shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() now, ready for that transition,
Export shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() and add it to list in shmem_fs.h,
with shmem_read_mapping_page() inline for the common mapping_gfp case.
(shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp or shmem_read_cache_page_gfp? Generally the
read_mapping_page functions use the mapping's ->readpage, and the
read_cache_page functions use the supplied filler, so I think
read_cache_page_gfp was slightly misnamed.)

2.6.35's new truncate convention gave tmpfs the opportunity to control
its file truncation, no longer enforced from outside by vmtruncate().
We shall want to build upon that, to handle pagecache and swap together.
Slightly redefine the ->truncate_range interface: let it now be called
between the unmap_mapping_range()s, with the filesystem responsible for
doing the truncate_inode_pages_range() from it - just as the filesystem
is nowadays responsible for doing that from its ->setattr.
Let's rename shmem_notify_change() to shmem_setattr(). Instead of
calling the generic truncate_setsize(), bring that code in so we can
call shmem_truncate_range() - which will later be updated to perform its
own variant of truncate_inode_pages_range().
Remove the punch_hole unmap_mapping_range() from shmem_truncate_range():
now that the COW's unmap_mapping_range() comes after ->truncate_range,
there is no need to call it a third time.
Export shmem_truncate_range() and add it to the list in shmem_fs.h, so
that i915_gem_object_truncate() can call it explicitly in future; get
this patch in first, then update drm/i915 once this is available (until
then, i915 will just be doing the truncate_inode_pages() twice).
Though introduced five years ago, no other filesystem is implementing
->truncate_range, and its only other user is madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE): we
expect to convert it to fallocate(,FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE,,) shortly,
whereupon ->truncate_range can be removed from inode_operations -
shmem_truncate_range() will help i915 across that transition too.

Before adding any more global entry points into shmem.c, gather such
prototypes into shmem_fs.h. Remove mm's own declarations from swap.h,
but for now leave the ones in mm.h: because shmem_file_setup() and
shmem_zero_setup() are called from various places, and we should not
force other subsystems to update immediately.

commit 21a3c96 uses node_start/end_pfn(nid) for detection start/end
of nodes. But, it's not defined in linux/mmzone.h but defined in
/arch/???/include/mmzone.h which is included only under
CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=y.
Then, we see
mm/page_cgroup.c: In function 'page_cgroup_init':
mm/page_cgroup.c:308: error: implicit declaration of function 'node_start_pfn'
mm/page_cgroup.c:309: error: implicit declaration of function 'node_end_pfn'
So, fixiing page_cgroup.c is an idea...
But node_start_pfn()/node_end_pfn() is a very generic macro and
should be implemented in the same manner for all archs.
(m32r has different implementation...)
This patch removes definitions of node_start/end_pfn() in each archs
and defines a unified one in linux/mmzone.h. It's not under
CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, now.
A result of macro expansion is here (mm/page_cgroup.c)
for !NUMA
start_pfn = ((&contig_page_data)->node_start_pfn);
end_pfn = ({ pg_data_t *__pgdat = (&contig_page_data); __pgdat->node_start_pfn + __pgdat->node_spanned_pages;});
for NUMA (x86-64)
start_pfn = ((node_data[nid])->node_start_pfn);
end_pfn = ({ pg_data_t *__pgdat = (node_data[nid]); __pgdat->node_start_pfn + __pgdat->node_spanned_pages;});
Changelog:
- fixed to avoid using "nid" twice in node_end_pfn() macro.

This patch introduces a new parameter, called 'format', that defines the
format of data stored by encrypted keys. The 'default' format identifies
encrypted keys containing only the symmetric key, while other formats can
be defined to support additional information. The 'format' parameter is
written in the datablob produced by commands 'keyctl print' or
'keyctl pipe' and is integrity protected by the HMAC.

The PM core doesn't handle suspend failures correctly when it comes to
asynchronously suspended devices. These devices are moved onto the
dpm_suspended_list as soon as the corresponding async thread is
started up, and they remain on the list even if they fail to suspend
or the sleep transition is cancelled before they get suspended. As a
result, when the PM core unwinds the transition, it tries to resume
the devices even though they were never suspended.
This patch (as1474) fixes the problem by adding a new "is_suspended"
flag to dev_pm_info. Devices are resumed only if the flag is set.
[rjw:
* Moved the dev->power.is_suspended check into device_resume(),
because we need to complete dev->power.completion and clear
dev->power.is_prepared too for devices whose
dev->power.is_suspended flags are unset.
* Fixed __device_suspend() to avoid setting dev->power.is_suspended
if async_error is different from zero.]

Commit 13e12d14e2dc ("vfs: reorganize 'struct inode' layout a bit")
moved things around a bit changed i_state to be unsigned int instead of
unsigned long. That was to help structure layout for the 64-bit case,
and shrink 'struct inode' a bit (admittedly that only happened when
spinlock debugging was on and i_flags didn't pack with i_lock).
However, Meelis Roos reports that this results in unaligned exceptions
on sprc, and it turns out that the bit-locking primitives that we use
for the I_NEW bit want to use the bitops. Which want 'unsigned long',
not 'unsigned int'.
We really should fix the bit locking code to not have that kind of
requirement, but that's a much bigger change. So for now, revert that
field back to 'unsigned long' (but keep the other re-ordering changes
from the commit that caused this).
Andi points out that we have played games with this in 'struct page', so
it's solvable with other hacks too, but since right now the struct inode
size advantage only happens with some rare config options, it's not
worth fighting.
It _would_ be worth fixing the bitlocking code, though. Especially
since there is no type safety in the bitlocking code (this never caused
any warnings, and worked fine on x86-64, because the bitlocks take a
'void *' and x86-64 doesn't care that deeply about alignment). So it's
currently a very easy problem to trigger by mistake and never notice.

____call_usermodehelper() now erases any credentials set by the
subprocess_inf::init() function. The problem is that commit
17f60a7da150 ("capabilites: allow the application of capability limits
to usermode helpers") creates and commits new credentials with
prepare_kernel_cred() after the call to the init() function. This wipes
all keyrings after umh_keys_init() is called.
The best way to deal with this is to put the init() call just prior to
the commit_creds() call, and pass the cred pointer to init(). That
means that umh_keys_init() and suchlike can modify the credentials
_before_ they are published and potentially in use by the rest of the
system.
This prevents request_key() from working as it is prevented from passing
the session keyring it set up with the authorisation token to
/sbin/request-key, and so the latter can't assume the authority to
instantiate the key. This causes the in-kernel DNS resolver to fail
with ENOKEY unconditionally.

enabling interrupts
There is a problem that kdump(2nd kernel) sometimes hangs up due
to a pending IPI from 1st kernel. Kernel panic occurs because IPI
comes before call_single_queue is initialized.
To fix the crash, rename init_call_single_data() to call_function_init()
and call it in start_kernel() so that call_single_queue can be
initialized before enabling interrupts.
The details of the crash are:
(1) 2nd kernel boots up
(2) A pending IPI from 1st kernel comes when irqs are first enabled
in start_kernel().
(3) Kernel tries to handle the interrupt, but call_single_queue
is not initialized yet at this point. As a result, in the
generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt(), NULL pointer
dereference occurs when list_replace_init() tries to access

Therefore this patch changes the name of init_call_single_data()
to call_function_init() and calls it before local_irq_enable()
in start_kernel().

This workaround aims to break the deadlock situation
which raises during continuous transfer of data for long
duration over uart with hardware flow control. It is
observed that CTS interrupt cannot be cleared in uart
interrupt register (ICR). Hence further transfer over
uart gets blocked.
It is seen that during such deadlock condition ICR
don't get cleared even on multiple write. This leads
pass_counter to decrease and finally reach zero. This
can be taken as trigger point to run this UART_BT_WA.
Workaround backups the register configuration, does soft
reset of UART using BIT-0 of PRCC_K_SOFTRST_SET/CLEAR
registers and restores the registers.
This patch also provides support for uart init and exit
function calls if present.

The clocksource watchdog code is interruptible and it has been
observed that this can trigger false positives which disable the TSC.
The reason is that an interrupt storm or a long running interrupt
handler between the read of the watchdog source and the read of the
TSC brings the two far enough apart that the delta is larger than the
unstable treshold. Move both reads into a short interrupt disabled
region to avoid that.

Avoid double seq adjustment for loopback traffic
because it causes silent repetition of TCP data. One
example is passive FTP with DNAT rule and difference in the
length of IP addresses.
This patch adds check if packet is sent and
received via loopback device. As the same conntrack is
used both for outgoing and incoming direction, we restrict
seq adjustment to happen only in POSTROUTING.

Some RS690 chipsets seem to end up with floating connectors, either
a DVI connector isn't actually populated, or an add-in HDMI card
is available but not installed. In this case we seem to get a NULL byte
response for each byte of the i2c transaction, so we detect this
case and if we see it we don't do anymore DDC transactions on this
connector.
I've tested this on my RS690 without the HDMI card installed and
it seems to work fine.

The "hostname" tool falls back to setting the hostname to "localhost" if
/etc/hostname does not exist. Distribution init scripts have the same
fallback. However, if userspace never calls sethostname, such as when
booting with init=/bin/sh, or otherwise booting a minimal system without
the usual init scripts, the default hostname of "(none)" remains,
unhelpfully appearing in various places such as prompts ("root@(none):~#")
and logs. Furthermore, "(none)" doesn't typically resolve to anything
useful.
Make the default hostname configurable. This removes the need for the
standard fallback, provides a useful default for systems that never call
sethostname, and makes minimal systems that much more useful with less
configuration. Distributions could choose to use "localhost" here to
avoid the fallback, while embedded systems may wish to use a specific
target hostname.

Recently, Robert Mueller reported (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/12/236)
that zone_reclaim_mode doesn't work properly on his new NUMA server (Dual
Xeon E5520 + Intel S5520UR MB). He is using Cyrus IMAPd and it's built on
a very traditional single-process model.
* a master process which reads config files and manages the other
process
* multiple imapd processes, one per connection
* multiple pop3d processes, one per connection
* multiple lmtpd processes, one per connection
* periodical "cleanup" processes.
There are thousands of independent processes. The problem is, recent
Intel motherboard turn on zone_reclaim_mode by default and traditional
prefork model software don't work well on it. Unfortunatelly, such models
are still typical even in the 21st century. We can't ignore them.
This patch raises the zone_reclaim_mode threshold to 30. 30 doesn't have
any specific meaning. but 20 means that one-hop QPI/Hypertransport and
such relatively cheap 2-4 socket machine are often used for traditional
servers as above. The intention is that these machines don't use
zone_reclaim_mode.
Note: ia64 and Power have arch specific RECLAIM_DISTANCE definitions.
This patch doesn't change such high-end NUMA machine behavior.
Dave Hansen said:
: I know specifically of pieces of x86 hardware that set the information
: in the BIOS to '21' *specifically* so they'll get the zone_reclaim_mode
: behavior which that implies.
:
: They've done performance testing and run very large and scary benchmarks
: to make sure that they _want_ this turned on. What this means for them
: is that they'll probably be de-optimized, at least on newer versions of
: the kernel.
:
: If you want to do this for particular systems, maybe _that_'s what we
: should do. Have a list of specific configurations that need the
: defaults overridden either because they're buggy, or they have an
: unusual hardware configuration not really reflected in the distance
: table.
And later said:
: The original change in the hardware tables was for the benefit of a
: benchmark. Said benchmark isn't going to get run on mainline until the
: next batch of enterprise distros drops, at which point the hardware where
: this was done will be irrelevant for the benchmark. I'm sure any new
: hardware will just set this distance to another yet arbitrary value to
: make the kernel do what it wants. :)
:
: Also, when the hardware got _set_ to this initially, I complained. So, I
: guess I'm getting my way now, with this patch. I'm cool with it.
