[PATCH] stack overflow safe kdump: safe_smp_processor_id()

This is a the first of a series of patch-sets aiming at making kdump more
robust against stack overflows.

This patch set does the following:

* Add safe_smp_processor_id function to i386 architecture (this function was
  inspired by the x86_64 function of the same name).

* Substitute "smp_processor_id" with the stack overflow-safe
  "safe_smp_processor_id" in the reboot path to the second kernel.

This patch:

On the event of a stack overflow critical data that usually resides at the
bottom of the stack is likely to be stomped and, consequently, its use should
be avoided.

In particular, in the i386 and IA64 architectures the macro smp_processor_id
ultimately makes use of the "cpu" member of struct thread_info which resides
at the bottom of the stack.  x86_64, on the other hand, is not affected by
this problem because it benefits from the use of the PDA infrastructure.

To circumvent this problem I suggest implementing "safe_smp_processor_id()"
(it already exists in x86_64) for i386 and IA64 and use it as a replacement
for smp_processor_id in the reboot path to the dump capture kernel.  This is a
possible implementation for i386.

[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: monitor zeroing of i_nlink

[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: clean up OCFS2 nlink handling

OCFS2 does some operations on i_nlink, then reverts them if some of its
operations fail to complete.  This does not fit in well with the
drop_nlink() logic where we expect i_nlink to stay at zero once it gets
there.

So, delay all of the nlink operations until we're sure that the operations
have completed.  Also, introduce a small helper to check whether an inode
has proper "unlinkable" i_nlink counts no matter whether it is a directory
or regular inode.

This patch is broken out from the others because it does contain some
logical changes.

[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: unlink: monitor i_nlink

When a filesystem decrements i_nlink to zero, it means that a write must be
performed in order to drop the inode from the filesystem.

We're shortly going to have keep filesystems from being remounted r/o between
the time that this i_nlink decrement and that write occurs.

So, add a little helper function to do the decrements.  We'll tie into it in a
bit to note when i_nlink hits zero.

[PATCH] r/o bind mount prepwork: move open_namei()'s vfs_create()

The code around vfs_create() in open_namei() is getting a bit too complex.
Right now, there is at least the reference count on the dentry, and the

So, break the vfs_create() call out of open_namei(), and into a helper

generic_file_aio_read() - read handler
generic_file_aio_write() - write handler
generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - no lock write handler

[PATCH] reiserfs: eliminate minimum window size for bitmap searching

When a file system becomes fragmented (using MythTV, for example), the
bigalloc window searching ends up causing huge performance problems.  In a
file system presented by a user experiencing this bug, the file system was
90% free, but no 32-block free windows existed on the entire file system.
This causes the allocator to scan the entire file system for each 128k
write before backing down to searching for individual blocks.

In the end, finding a contiguous window for all the blocks in a write is an
advantageous special case, but one that can be found naturally when such a
window exists anyway.

This patch removes the bigalloc window searching, and has been proven to
fix the test case described above.

[PATCH] reiserfs: on-demand bitmap loading

This is the patch the three previous ones have been leading up to.

It changes the behavior of ReiserFS from loading and caching all the bitmaps
as special, to treating the bitmaps like any other bit of metadata and just
letting the system-wide caches figure out what to hang on to.

Buffer heads are allocated on the fly, so there is no need to retain pointers
to all of them.  The caching of the metadata occurs when the data is read and
updated, and is considered invalid and uncached until then.

I needed to remove the vs-4040 check for performing a duplicate operation on a
particular bit.  The reason is that while the other sites for working with
bitmaps are allowed to schedule, is_reusable() is called from do_balance(),
which will panic if a schedule occurs in certain places.

The benefit of on-demand bitmaps clearly outweighs a sanity check that depends
on a compile-time option that is discouraged.

[PATCH] reiserfs: reorganize bitmap loading functions

This patch moves the bitmap loading code from super.c to bitmap.c

The code is also restructured somewhat.  The only difference between new
format bitmaps and old format bitmaps is where they are.  That's a two liner
before loading the block to use the correct one.  There's no need for an
entirely separate code path.

The load path is generally the same, with the pattern being to throw out a
bunch of requests and then wait for them, then cache the metadata from the
contents.

Again, like the previous patches, the purpose is to set up for later ones.

Update: There was a bug in the previously posted version of this that resulted
in corruption.  The problem was that bitmap 0 on new format file systems must
be treated specially, and wasn't.  A stupid bug with an easy fix.

This is hopefully the last fix for the disaster that is the reiserfs bitmap
patch set.

If a bitmap block was full, first_zero_hint would end up at zero since it
would never be changed from it's zeroed out value.  This just sets it
beyond the end of the bitmap block.  If any bits are freed, it will be
reset to a valid bit.  When info->free_count = 0, then we already know it's
full.

[PATCH] reiserfs: clean up bitmap block buffer head references

Similar to the SB_JOURNAL cleanup that was accepted a while ago, this patch
uses a temporary variable for buffer head references from the bitmap info
array.

This makes the code much more readable in some areas.

It also uses proper reference counting, doing a get_bh() after using the
pointer from the array and brelse()'ing it later.  This may seem silly, but a
later patch will replace the simple temporary variables with an actual read,
so the reference freeing will be used then.

[PATCH] reiserfs: fix is_reusable bitmap check to not traverse the bitmap info array

There is a check in is_reusable to determine if a particular block is a bitmap
block.  It verifies this by going through the array of bitmap block buffer
heads and comparing the block number to each one.

Bitmap blocks are at defined locations on the disk in both old and current
formats.  Simply checking against the known good values is enough.

This is a trivial optimization for a non-production codepath, but this is the
first in a series of patches that will ultimately remove the buffer heads from
that array.

[PATCH] kill wall_jiffies

With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies.
So we can kill wall_jiffies completely.

This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior
except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a
condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1".  This condition is never met so I
suppose it is just a bug.  I just remove that condition only instead of
kill the whole "if" block.

[PATCH] ntp: convert to the NTP4 reference model

This converts the kernel ntp model into a model which matches the nanokernel
reference implementations.  The previous patches already increased the
resolution and precision of the computations, so that this conversion becomes
quite simple.

<linux@horizon.com> explains:

The original NTP kernel interface was defined in units of microseconds.
That's what Linux implements.  As computers have gotten faster and can now
split microseconds easily, a new kernel interface using nanosecond units was
defined ("the nanokernel", confusing as that name is to OS hackers), and
there's an STA_NANO bit in the adjtimex() status field to tell the application
which units it's using.

The current ntpd supports both, but Linux loses some possible timing
resolution because of quantization effects, and the ntpd hackers would really
like to be able to drop the backwards compatibility code.

Ulrich Windl has been maintaining a patch set to do the conversion for years,
but it's hard to keep in sync.

[PATCH] Directed yield: cpu_relax variants for spinlocks and rw-locks

On systems running with virtual cpus there is optimization potential in
regard to spinlocks and rw-locks.  If the virtual cpu that has taken a lock
is known to a cpu that wants to acquire the same lock it is beneficial to
yield the timeslice of the virtual cpu in favour of the cpu that has the
lock (directed yield).

With CONFIG_PREEMPT="n" this can be implemented by the architecture without
common code changes.  Powerpc already does this.

With CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" the lock loops are coded with _raw_spin_trylock,
_raw_read_trylock and _raw_write_trylock in kernel/spinlock.c.  If the lock
could not be taken cpu_relax is called.  A directed yield is not possible
because cpu_relax doesn't know anything about the lock.  To be able to
yield the lock in favour of the current lock holder variants of cpu_relax
for spinlocks and rw-locks are needed.  The new _raw_spin_relax,
_raw_read_relax and _raw_write_relax primitives differ from cpu_relax
insofar that they have an argument: a pointer to the lock structure.

[PATCH] leds: turn LED off when changing triggers

I was playing with LED triggers when I noticed that changing from heartbeat
(or ide-disk) to "none" at the right moment would leave the LED stuck on.
This is easy to reproduce by doing "find / >/dev/null" with the ide-disk
trigger enabled and then switching to "none".

Here is a patch that fixes the problem by explicitly turning the LED off

[PATCH] kmemdup: introduce

One of idiomatic ways to duplicate a region of memory is

dst = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!dst)
return -ENOMEM;
memcpy(dst, src, len);

which is neat code except a programmer needs to write size twice.  Which
sometimes leads to mistakes.  If len passed to kmalloc is smaller that len
passed to memcpy, it's straight overwrite-beyond-end.  If len passed to
memcpy is smaller than len passed to kmalloc, it's either a) legit
behaviour ;-), or b) cloned buffer will contain garbage in second half.

Slight trolling of commit lists shows several duplications bugs
done exactly because of diverged lenghts:

Linux:
[CRYPTO]: Fix memcpy/memset args.
[PATCH] memcpy/memset fixes
OpenBSD:
kerberosV/src/lib/asn1: der_copy.c:1.4

If programmer is given only one place to play with lengths, I believe, such
mistakes could be avoided.

With kmemdup, the snippet above will be rewritten as:

dst = kmemdup(src, len, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!dst)
return -ENOMEM;

This also leads to smaller code (kzalloc effect). Quick grep shows
200+ places where kmemdup() can be used.

[PATCH] maximum latency tracking: ALSA support

Add maximum latency tracking to the ALSA subsystem for PCM playback.  In
ALSA, the playback application controls the buffer size and thus indirectly
the period of latency that it can deal with.  This patch uses 75% of the
total available latency as threshold to announce to the latency subsystem;
While 75% is a crude heuristic it's a quite reasonable one; the remaining
25% can be used for all driver processing for the next samples which is
also proportional to the size of the buffer.

With ogg123 a latency setting of about 4msec was seen (at 44Khz), while
with the "play" command a much longer maximum tolerable latency was seen.
Other, more multimedia oriented players as well as games, will have a lot
smaller buffers to allow better synchronization and those will actually get
into the latency domains where there is impact on the power management
rules.

[PATCH] maximum latency tracking infrastructure

Add infrastructure to track "maximum allowable latency" for power saving
policies.

The reason for adding this infrastructure is that power management in the
idle loop needs to make a tradeoff between latency and power savings
(deeper power save modes have a longer latency to running code again).  The
code that today makes this tradeoff just does a rather simple algorithm;
however this is not good enough: There are devices and use cases where a
lower latency is required than that the higher power saving states provide.
 An example would be audio playback, but another example is the ipw2100
wireless driver that right now has a very direct and ugly acpi hook to
disable some higher power states randomly when it gets certain types of
error.

The proposed solution is to have an interface where drivers can

* announce the maximum latency (in microseconds) that they can deal with
* modify this latency
* give up their constraint

and a function where the code that decides on power saving strategy can
query the current global desired maximum.

This patch has a user of each side: on the consumer side, ACPI is patched
to use this, on the producer side the ipw2100 driver is patched.

A generic maximum latency is also registered of 2 timer ticks (more and you
lose accurate time tracking after all).

While the existing users of the patch are x86 specific, the infrastructure
is not.  I'd like to ask the arch maintainers of other architectures if the
infrastructure is generic enough for their use (assuming the architecture
has such a tradeoff as concept at all), and the sound/multimedia driver
owners to look at the driver facing API to see if this is something they
can use.
