2008-06-09mm: Minor clean-up of page flags in mm/page_alloc.cRuss Anderson1-0/+24
Minor source code cleanup of page flags in mm/page_alloc.c. Move the definition of the groups of bits to page-flags.h. The purpose of this clean up is that the next patch will conditionally add a page flag to the groups. Doing that in a header file is cleaner than adding #ifdefs to the C code.

2008-06-09[POWERPC] Make walk_memory_resource available with MEMORY_HOTPLUG=nNathan Lynch1-8/+8
The ehea driver was recently changed[1] to use walk_memory_resource() to detect the system's memory layout. However, walk_memory_resource() is available only when memory hotplug is enabled. So CONFIG_EHEA was made to depend on MEMORY_HOTPLUG [2], but it is inappropriate for a network driver to have such a dependency. Make the declaration of walk_memory_resource() and its powerpc implementation (ehea is powerpc-specific) unconditionally available.

When posting: [PATCH 1/8] Scaling msgmni to the amount of lowmem (see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/637849/) I changed the MSGPOOL value to make it fit what is said in the man pages (i.e. a size in bytes).

2008-06-04libata-sff: Fix oops reported in kerneloops.org for pnp devices with no ctlAlan Cox1-14/+2
- Make ata_sff_altstatus private so nobody uses it by mistake - Drop the 400nS delay from it Add ata_sff_irq_status - encapsulates the IRQ check logic This function keeps the existing behaviour for altstatus using devices. I actually suspect the logic was wrong before the changes but -rc isn't the time to play with that ata_sff_sync - ensure writes hit the device Really we want an io* operation for 'is posted' eg ioisposted(ioaddr) so that we can fix the nasty delay this causes on most systems. - ata_sff_pause - 400nS delay Ensure the command hit the device and delay 400nS - ata_sff_dma_pause Ensure the I/O hit the device and enforce an HDMA1:0 transition delay. Requires altstatus register exists, BUG if not so we don't risk corruption in MWDMA modes. (UDMA the checksum will save your backside in theory) The only other complication then is devices with their own handlers. rb532 can use dma_pause but scc needs to access its own altstatus register for internal errata workarounds so directly call the drivers own altstatus function.

2008-06-03serial_core: uart_set_ldisc infrastructureAlan Cox1-0/+1
The tty layer provides a callback that is used when the line discipline is changed. Some hardware uses this to configure hardware specific features such as IrDA mode on serial ports. Unfortunately the serial layer does not provide this feature or pass it down to drivers. Blackfin used to hack around this by rewriting the tty ops, but those are now properly shared and const so the hack fails. Instead provide the proper operations. This change plus a follow up from the Blackfin guys is needed to avoid blackfin losing features in this release.

2008-05-31capabilities: remain source compatible with 32-bit raw legacy capability ↵Andrew G. Morgan1-8/+21
support. Source code out there hard-codes a notion of what the _LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION #define means in terms of the semantics of the raw capability system calls capget() and capset(). Its unfortunate, but true. Since the confusing header file has been in a released kernel, there is software that is erroneously using 64-bit capabilities with the semantics of 32-bit compatibilities. These recently compiled programs may suffer corruption of their memory when sys_getcap() overwrites more memory than they are coded to expect, and the raising of added capabilities when using sys_capset(). As such, this patch does a number of things to clean up the situation for all. It 1. forces the _LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION define to always retain its legacy value. 2. adopts a new #define strategy for the kernel's internal implementation of the preferred magic. 3. deprecates v2 capability magic in favor of a new (v3) magic number. The functionality of v3 is entirely equivalent to v2, the only difference being that the v2 magic causes the kernel to log a "deprecated" warning so the admin can find applications that may be using v2 inappropriately. [User space code continues to be encouraged to use the libcap API which protects the application from details like this. libcap-2.10 is the first to support v3 capabilities.] Fixes issue reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447518.

2008-05-30Input: rename SW_RADIO to SW_RFKILL_ALLHenrique de Moraes Holschuh1-1/+3
The SW_RADIO code for EV_SW events has a name that is not descriptive enough of its intended function, and could induce someone to think KEY_RADIO is its EV_KEY counterpart, which is false. Rename it to SW_RFKILL_ALL, and document what this event is for. Keep the old name around, to avoid userspace ABI breaks. The SW_RFKILL_ALL event is meant to be used by rfkill master switches. It is not bound to a particular radio switch type, and usually applies to all types. It is semantically tied to master rfkill switches that enable or disable every radio in a system.

2008-05-30virtio: force callback on empty.Rusty Russell1-0/+4
virtio allows drivers to suppress callbacks (ie. interrupts) for efficiency (no locking, it's just an optimization). There's a similar mechanism for the host to suppress notifications coming from the guest: in that case, we ignore the suppression if the ring is completely full. It turns out that life is simpler if the host similarly ignores callback suppression when the ring is completely empty: the network driver wants to free up old packets in a timely manner, and otherwise has to use a timer to poll. We have to remove the code which ignores interrupts when the driver has disabled them (again, it had no locking and hence was unreliable anyway). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Included: virtio_rng: dont use vmalloced addresses for virtio If virtio_rng is build as a module, random_data is an address in vmalloc space.

2008-05-26posix timers: discard SI_TIMER signals on execOleg Nesterov1-0/+2
Based on Roland's patch. This approach was suggested by Austin Clements from the very beginning, and then by Linus. As Austin pointed out, the execing task can be killed by SI_TIMER signal because exec flushes the signal handlers, but doesn't discard the pending signals generated by posix timers. Perhaps not a bug, but people find this surprising.

2008-06-06jbd2: If a journal checksum error is detected, propagate the error to ext4Theodore Ts'o1-0/+3
If a journal checksum error is detected, the ext4 filesystem will call ext4_error(), and the mount will either continue, become a read-only mount, or cause a kernel panic based on the superblock flags indicating the user's preference of what to do in case of filesystem corruption being detected.

2008-05-24md: restart recovery cleanly after device failure.NeilBrown1-3/+1
When we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort the recovery and restart it. For RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the beginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be able to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn't make sense. We already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to and restart from there, but it is not being used properly. This is because: - We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR, which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed. - We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state information. The distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn't needed. If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as Faulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error. So we first remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to MD_RECOVERY_INTR. Then we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to fail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded). Then when remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which recovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and recovery will continue on them as desired. Issue: If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive fails, and a new spare is immediately available, do we want to: 1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or 2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in parallel. Both options can be argued for. The code currently takes option 2 as a/ this requires least code change b/ this results in a minimally-degraded array in minimal time.

2008-05-24md: allow parallel resync of md-devices.Bernd Schubert1-0/+3
In some configurations, a raid6 resync can be limited by CPU speed (Calculating P and Q and moving data) rather than by device speed. In these cases there is nothing to be gained byt serialising resync of arrays that share a device, and doing the resync in parallel can provide benefit. So add a sysfs tunable to flag an array as being allowed to resync in parallel with other arrays that use (a different part of) the same device.
