virtio: console: Add reference counting for port struct

When a port got hot-unplugged, when a port was open, any file operation
after the unplugging resulted in a crash. This is fixed by ref-counting
the port structure, and releasing it only when the file is closed.

This splits the unplug operation in two parts: first marks the port
as unavailable, removes all the buffers in the vqs and removes the port
from the per-device list of ports. The second stage, invoked when all
references drop to zero, releases the chardev and frees all other memory.

i2c-imx: do not allow interruptions when waiting for I2C to complete

The i2c_imx_trx_complete() function is using
wait_event_interruptible_timeout() to wait for the I2C controller to
signal that it has completed an I2C bus operation. If the process that
causes the I2C operation receives a signal, the wait will be
interrupted, returning an error. It is better to let the I2C operation
finished before handling the signal (i.e. returning into userspace).

It is safe to use wait_event_timeout() instead, because the timeout
will allow the process to exit if the I2C bus hangs. It's also better
to allow the I2C operation to finish, because unacknowledged I2C
operations can cause the I2C bus to hang.

De-pessimize rds_page_copy_user

Don't try to "optimize" rds_page_copy_user() by using kmap_atomic() and
the unsafe atomic user mode accessor functions.  It's actually slower
than the straightforward code on any reasonable modern CPU.

Back when the code was written (although probably not by the time it was
actually merged, though), 32-bit x86 may have been the dominant
architecture.  And there kmap_atomic() can be a lot faster than kmap()
(unless you have very good locality, in which case the virtual address
caching by kmap() can overcome all the downsides).

But these days, x86-64 may not be more populous, but it's getting there
(and if you care about performance, it's definitely already there -
you'd have upgraded your CPU's already in the last few years).  And on
x86-64, the non-kmap_atomic() version is faster, simply because the code
is simpler and doesn't have the "re-try page fault" case.

People with old hardware are not likely to care about RDS anyway, and
the optimization for the 32-bit case is simply buggy, since it doesn't
verify the user addresses properly.

broke SDIO's expectation that mmc_suspend_host() will remove the card,
and squash the error, in case -ENOSYS is returned from the bus suspend
handler (mmc_sdio_suspend() in this case).

mmc_sdio_suspend() is using this whenever at least one of the card's SDIO
function drivers does not have suspend/resume handlers - in that case
it is agreed to force removal of the entire card.

This patch fixes this regression by trivially bringing back that part of
mmc_suspend_host(), which was removed by 4c2ef25fe0b.

ubd: fix incorrect sector handling during request restart

dropped request->sector manipulation in preparation for global request
handling cleanup; unfortunately, it incorrectly assumed that the
updated sector wasn't being used.

ubd tries to issue as many requests as possible to io_thread.  When

ubd issues IOs sg-by-sg and issuing can be stopped in the middle of a
request, so each device on the restart queue needs to remember where
to restart in its current request.  ubd needs to keep track of the
issue position itself because,

* blk_rq_pos(req) is now updated by the block layer to keep track of

* Multiple io_req's for the current request may be in flight, so it's
  difficult to tell where blk_rq_pos(req) currently is.

PHY attached to it, it is directly connected to a somewhat simple
ethernet switch (the board is the SnapGear/LITE, and the attached
4-port ethernet switch is a RealTek RTL8305). This switch does not
present the usual register interface of a PHY, it presents nothing.
So a PHY scan will find nothing - it finds ID's of 0 for each PHY
on the attached MII bus.

After the FEC driver was changed to use phylib for supporting PHYs
it no longer works on this particular board/switch setup.

Add code support to use a fixed phy if no PHY is found on the MII bus.

14 years agoring-buffer: Fix typo of time extends per page
Steven Rostedt [Tue, 12 Oct 2010 16:06:43 +0000 (12:06 -0400)]
ring-buffer: Fix typo of time extends per page

Time stamps for the ring buffer are created by the difference between
two events. Each page of the ring buffer holds a full 64 bit timestamp.
Each event has a 27 bit delta stamp from the last event. The unit of time
is nanoseconds, so 27 bits can hold ~134 milliseconds. If two events
happen more than 134 milliseconds apart, a time extend is inserted
to add more bits for the delta. The time extend has 59 bits, which
is good for ~18 years.

Currently the time extend is committed separately from the event.
If an event is discarded before it is committed, due to filtering,
the time extend still exists. If all events are being filtered, then
after ~134 milliseconds a new time extend will be added to the buffer.

This can only happen till the end of the page. Since each page holds
a full timestamp, there is no reason to add a time extend to the
beginning of a page. Time extends can only fill a page that has actual
data at the beginning, so there is no fear that time extends will fill
more than a page without any data.

When reading an event, a loop is made to skip over time extends
since they are only used to maintain the time stamp and are never
given to the caller. As a paranoid check to prevent the loop running
forever, with the knowledge that time extends may only fill a page,
a check is made that tests the iteration of the loop, and if the
iteration is more than the number of time extends that can fit in a page
a warning is printed and the ring buffer is disabled (all of ftrace
is also disabled with it).

There is another event type that is called a TIMESTAMP which can
hold 64 bits of data in the theoretical case that two events happen
18 years apart. This code has not been implemented, but the name
of this event exists, as well as the structure for it. The
size of a TIMESTAMP is 16 bytes, where as a time extend is only
8 bytes. The macro used to calculate how many time extends can fit on
a page used the TIMESTAMP size instead of the time extend size
cutting the amount in half.

The following test case can easily trigger the warning since we only
need to have half the page filled with time extends to trigger the
warning:

 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
 # echo function > current_tracer
 # echo 'common_pid < 0' > events/ftrace/function/filter
 # echo > trace
 # echo 1 > trace_marker
 # sleep 120
 # cat trace

Enabling the function tracer and then setting the filter to only trace
functions where the process id is negative (no events), then clearing
the trace buffer to ensure that we have nothing in the buffer,
then write to trace_marker to add an event to the beginning of a page,
sleep for 2 minutes (only 35 seconds is probably needed, but this
guarantees the bug), and then finally reading the trace which will
trigger the bug.

This patch fixes the typo and prevents the false positive of that warning.

14 years agofanotify: disable fanotify syscalls
Eric Paris [Mon, 11 Oct 2010 22:13:31 +0000 (18:13 -0400)]
fanotify: disable fanotify syscalls

This patch disables the fanotify syscalls by just not building them and
letting the cond_syscall() statements in kernel/sys_ni.c redirect them
to sys_ni_syscall().

It was pointed out by Tvrtko Ursulin that the fanotify interface did not
include an explicit prioritization between groups.  This is necessary
for fanotify to be usable for hierarchical storage management software,
as they must get first access to the file, before inotify-like notifiers
see the file.

This feature can be added in an ABI compatible way in the next release
(by using a number of bits in the flags field to carry the info) but it
was suggested by Alan that maybe we should just hold off and do it in
the next cycle, likely with an (new) explicit argument to the syscall.
I don't like this approach best as I know people are already starting to
use the current interface, but Alan is all wise and noone on list backed
me up with just using what we have.  I feel this is needlessly ripping
the rug out from under people at the last minute, but if others think it
needs to be a new argument it might be the best way forward.

Three choices:
Go with what we got (and implement the new feature next cycle).  Add a
new field right now (and implement the new feature next cycle).  Wait
till next cycle to release the ABI (and implement the new feature next
cycle).  This is number 3.
