[PATCH] cfq-iosched: kill cfq_exit_lock
cfq_exit_lock is protecting two things now:
- The per-ioc rbtree of cfq_io_contexts
- The per-cfqd linked list of cfq_io_contexts
The per-cfqd linked list can be protected by the queue lock, as it is (by
definition) per cfqd as the queue lock is.
The per-ioc rbtree is mainly used and updated by the process itself only.
The only outside use is the io priority changing. If we move the
priority changing to not browsing the rbtree, we can remove any locking
from the rbtree updates and lookup completely. Let the sys_ioprio syscall
just mark processes as having the iopriority changed and lazily update
the private cfq io contexts the next time io is queued, and we can
remove this locking as well.

- cfq_set_active_queue() can be rewritten cleaner with else if conditions.
- Several places had cfq_exit_cfqq() like logic, abstract that out and
use that.
- Annotate the cfqq kmem_cache_alloc() so the allocator knows that this
is a repeat allocation if it fails with __GFP_WAIT set. Allows the
allocator to start freeing some memory, if needed. CFQ already loops for
this condition, so might as well pass the hint down.
- Remove cfqd->rq_starved logic. It's not needed anymore after we dropped
the crq allocation in cfq_set_request().
- Remove uneeded parameter passing.

[PATCH] Re-positioning the bss segment
[AK: This apparently broke some systems, but we need it to fix
a compile problem with old binutils and in theory the patch
is correct. So let's trying reenabling it again.]
o Currently bss segment is being placed somewhere in the middle (after .data)
section and after bss lots of init section and data sections are coming.
Is it intentional?
o One side affect of placing bss in the middle is that objcopy keeps the
bss in raw binary image (vmlinux.bin) hence unnecessarily increasing
the size of raw binary image. (In my case ~600K). It also increases
the size of generated bzImage, though the increase is very small
(896 bytes), probably a very high compression ratio for stream
of zeros.
o This patch moves the bss at the end hence reducing the size of
bzImage by 896 bytes and size of vmlinux.bin by 600K.
o This change benefits in the context of relocatable kernel patches. If
kernel bss is not part of compressed data (vmlinux.bin) then it does
not have to be decompressed and this area can be used by the decompressor
for its execution hence keeping the memory requirements bounded and
decompressor code does not stomp over any other data loaded beyond
kernel image (As might be the case with bootloaders like kexec).

[PATCH] cpuset: fix obscure attach_task vs exiting race
Fix obscure race condition in kernel/cpuset.c attach_task() code.
There is basically zero chance of anyone accidentally being harmed by this
race.
It requires a special 'micro-stress' load and a special timing loop hacks
in the kernel to hit in less than an hour, and even then you'd have to hit
it hundreds or thousands of times, followed by some unusual and senseless
cpuset configuration requests, including removing the top cpuset, to cause
any visibly harm affects.
One could, with perhaps a few days or weeks of such effort, get the
reference count on the top cpuset below zero, and manage to crash the
kernel by asking to remove the top cpuset.
I found it by code inspection.
The race was introduced when 'the_top_cpuset_hack' was introduced, and one
piece of code was not updated. An old check for a possibly null task
cpuset pointer needed to be changed to a check for a task marked
PF_EXITING. The pointer can't be null anymore, thanks to
the_top_cpuset_hack (documented in kernel/cpuset.c). But the task could
have gone into PF_EXITING state after it was found in the task_list scan.
If a task is PF_EXITING in this code, it is possible that its task->cpuset
pointer is pointing to the top cpuset due to the_top_cpuset_hack, rather
than because the top_cpuset was that tasks last valid cpuset. In that
case, the wrong cpuset reference counter would be decremented.
The fix is trivial. Instead of failing the system call if the tasks cpuset
pointer is null here, fail it if the task is in PF_EXITING state.
The code for 'the_top_cpuset_hack' that changes an exiting tasks cpuset to
the top_cpuset is done without locking, so could happen at anytime. But it
is done during the exit handling, after the PF_EXITING flag is set. So if
we verify that a task is still not PF_EXITING after we copy out its cpuset
pointer (into 'oldcs', below), we know that 'oldcs' is not one of these
hack references to the top_cpuset.

A-B-C-D-B-C-D-A deadlock: ok | ok | ok | ok | ok |FAILED|
after much debugging it turned out to be caused by accidental chain-hash
key collisions. The current hash is:
#define iterate_chain_key(key1, key2) \
(((key1) << MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS/2) ^ \
((key1) >> (64-MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS/2)) ^ \
(key2))
where MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS is 11. This hash is pretty good as it will
shift by 5 bits in every iteration, where every new ID 'mixed' into the
hash would have up to 11 bits. But because there was a 6 bits overlap
between subsequent IDs and their high bits tended to be similar, there was
a chance for accidental chain-hash collision for a low number of locks
held.
the solution is to shift by 11 bits:
#define iterate_chain_key(key1, key2) \
(((key1) << MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS) ^ \
((key1) >> (64-MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS)) ^ \
(key2))
This keeps the hash perfect up to 5 locks held, but even above that the
hash is still good because 11 bits is a relative prime to the total 64
bits, so a complete match will only occur after 64 held locks (which doesnt
happen in Linux). Even after 5 locks held, entropy of the 5 IDs mixed into
the hash is already good enough so that overlap doesnt generate a colliding
hash ID.
with this change the false positives went away.

[PATCH] RTC: more XSTP/VDET support for rtc-rs5c348 driver
If the chip detected "oscillator stop" condition, show an warning message.
And initialize it with the Epoch time instead of leaving it with unknown
date/time.

[PATCH] build sound/sound_firmware.c only for OSS
All sound/sound_firmware.c contains is mod_firmware_load() that is a legacy
API only used by some OSS drivers.
This patch builds it into an own sound_firmware module that is only built
depending on CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME making the kernel slightly smaller for ALSA
users.

[PATCH] Generic infrastructure for acls
The patches solve the following problem: We want to grant access to devices
based on who is logged in from where, etc. This includes switching back and
forth between multiple user sessions, etc.
Using ACLs to define device access for logged-in users gives us all the
flexibility we need in order to fully solve the problem.
Device special files nowadays usually live on tmpfs, hence tmpfs ACLs.
Different distros have come up with solutions that solve the problem to
different degrees: SUSE uses a resource manager which tracks login sessions
and sets ACLs on device inodes as appropriate. RedHat uses pam_console, which
changes the primary file ownership to the logged-in user. Others use a set of
groups that users must be in in order to be granted the appropriate accesses.
The freedesktop.org project plans to implement a combination of a
console-tracker and a HAL-device-list based solution to grant access to
devices to users, and more distros will likely follow this approach.
These patches have first been posted here on 2 February 2005, and again
on 8 January 2006. We have been shipping them in SLES9 and SLES10 with
no problems reported. The previous submission is archived here:

This patch:
Add some infrastructure for access control lists on in-memory
filesystems such as tmpfs.
