2015-05-27smp: Make control dependencies work on Alpha, improve documentationPaul E. McKenney1-22/+33
The current formulation of control dependencies fails on DEC Alpha, which does not respect dependencies of any kind unless an explicit memory barrier is provided. This means that the current fomulation of control dependencies fails on Alpha. This commit therefore creates a READ_ONCE_CTRL() that has the same overhead on non-Alpha systems, but causes Alpha to produce the needed ordering. This commit also applies READ_ONCE_CTRL() to the one known use of control dependencies. Use of READ_ONCE_CTRL() also has the beneficial effect of adding a bit of self-documentation to control dependencies. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-05-27documentation: memory-barriers: Fix smp_mb__before_spinlock() semanticsWill Deacon1-4/+3
Our current documentation claims that, when followed by an ACQUIRE, smp_mb__before_spinlock() orders prior loads against subsequent loads and stores, which isn't the intent. This commit therefore fixes the documentation to state that this sequence orders only prior stores against subsequent loads and stores. In addition, the original intent of smp_mb__before_spinlock() was to only order prior loads against subsequent stores, however, people have started using it as if it ordered prior loads against subsequent loads and stores. This commit therefore also updates smp_mb__before_spinlock()'s header comment to reflect this new reality. Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: "Paul E.

2015-05-15Documentation: dt: mtd: replace "nor-jedec" binding with "jedec, spi-nor"Brian Norris1-3/+3
In commit 8ff16cf77ce3 ("Documentation: devicetree: m25p80: add "nor-jedec" binding"), we added a generic "nor-jedec" binding to catch all mostly-compatible SPI NOR flash which can be detected via the READ ID opcode (0x9F). This was discussed and reviewed at the time, however objections have come up since then as part of this discussion: http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20150511224646.GJ32500@ld-irv-0074 It seems the parties involved agree that "jedec,spi-nor" does a better job of capturing the fact that this is SPI-specific, not just any NOR flash. This binding was only merged for v4.1-rc1, so it's still OK to change the naming. At the same time, let's move the documentation to a better name. Next up: stop referring to code (drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c) from the documentation.

2015-05-10new ->follow_link() and ->put_link() calling conventionsAl Viro2-4/+4
a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning an opaque pointer later passed to ->put_link(), ->follow_link() _stores_ that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns the symlink body. Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks. Stored pointer is ignored in all cases except the last one. Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call of ->put_link(). b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata). Now only the opaque pointer is. In the cases when we used the symlink body to free stuff, ->follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition to returning it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2015-05-10pty: Fix input race when closingPeter Hurley1-0/+3
A read() from a pty master may mistakenly indicate EOF (errno == -EIO) after the pty slave has closed, even though input data remains to be read. For example, pty slave | input worker | pty master | | | | n_tty_read() pty_write() | | input avail? no add data | | sleep schedule worker --->| | . |---> flush_to_ldisc() | . pty_close() | fill read buffer | . wait for worker | wakeup reader --->| . | read buffer full? |---> input avail ? yes |<--- yes - exit worker | copy 4096 bytes to user TTY_OTHER_CLOSED <---| |<--- kick worker | | **** New read() before worker starts **** | | n_tty_read() | | input avail? no | | TTY_OTHER_CLOSED? yes | | return -EIO Several conditions are required to trigger this race: 1. the ldisc read buffer must become full so the input worker exits 2. the read() count parameter must be >= 4096 so the ldisc read buffer is empty 3. the subsequent read() occurs before the kicked worker has processed more input However, the underlying cause of the race is that data is pipelined, while tty state is not; ie., data already written by the pty slave end is not yet visible to the pty master end, but state changes by the pty slave end are visible to the pty master end immediately. Pipeline the TTY_OTHER_CLOSED state through input worker to the reader. 1. Introduce TTY_OTHER_DONE which is set by the input worker when TTY_OTHER_CLOSED is set and either the input buffers are flushed or input processing has completed. Readers/polls are woken when TTY_OTHER_DONE is set. 2. Reader/poll checks TTY_OTHER_DONE instead of TTY_OTHER_CLOSED. 3. A new input worker is started from pty_close() after setting TTY_OTHER_CLOSED, which ensures the TTY_OTHER_DONE state will be set if the last input worker is already finished (or just about to exit). Remove tty_flush_to_ldisc(); no in-tree callers.
