Michael Buesch [Mon, 12 Feb 2007 08:53:26 +0000 (00:53 -0800)]
[PATCH] Workaround CAPI subsystem locking issue

I think the following patch should go into the kernel, until the ISDN/CAPI
guys create the real fix for this issue.

The issue is a concurrency issue with some internal CAPI data structure
which can crash the kernel.

On my FritzCard DSL with the AVM driver it crashes about once a day without
this workaround patch.  With this workaround patch it's rock-stable (at
least on UP, but I don't see why this shouldn't work on SMP as well.  But
maybe I'm missing something.)

This workaround is kind of a sledgehammer which inserts a global lock to
wrap around all the critical sections.  Of course, this is a scalability
issue, if you have many ISDN/CAPI cards.  But it prevents a crash.  So I
vote for this fix to get merged, until people come up with a better
solution.  Better have a stable kernel that's less scalable, than a
crashing and useless kernel.

This bug is in the kernel since 2.6.15 (at least).

Frithiof Jensen [Mon, 12 Feb 2007 08:53:07 +0000 (00:53 -0800)]
[PATCH] EDAC: Add memory scrubbing controls API to core

This is an attempt of providing an interface for memory scrubbing control in
EDAC.

This patch modifies the EDAC Core to provide the Interface for memory
controller modules to implment.

The following things are still outstanding:

 - K8 is the first implemenation,

   The patch provide a method of configuring the K8 hardware memory scrubber
   via the 'mcX' sysfs directory.  There should be some fallback to a generic
   scrubber implemented in software if the hardware does not support
   scrubbing.

   Or .. the scrubbing sysfs entry should not be visible at all.

 - Only works with SDRAM, not cache,

   The K8 can scrub cache and l2cache also - but I think this is not so
   useful as the cache is busy all the time (one hopes).

   One would also expect that cache scrubbing requires hardware support.

 - Error Handling,

   I would like that errors are returned to the user in "terms of file
   system".

 - Presentation,

   I chose Bandwidth in Bytes/Second as a representation of the scrubbing
   rate for the following reasons:

   I like that the sysfs entries are sort-of textual, related to something
   that makes sense instead of magical values that must be looked up.

   "My People" wants "% main memory scrubbed per hour" others prefer "%
   memory bandwidth used" as representation, "bandwith used" makes it easy to
   calculate both versions in one-liner scripts.

   If one later wants to scrub cache, the scaling becomes wierd for K8
   changing from "blocks of 64 byte memory" to "blocks of 64 cache lines" to
   "blocks of 64 bit".  Using "bandwidth used" makes sense in all three cases,
   (I.M.O.  anyway ;-).

 - Discovery,

   There is no way to discover the possible settings and what they do
   without reading the code and the documentation.

   *I* do not know how to make that work in a practical way.

 - Bugs(??),

   other tools can set invalid values in the memory scrub control register,
   those will read back as '-1', requiring the user to reset the scrub rate.
   This is how *I* think it should be.

 - Afflicting other areas of code,

   I made changes to edac_mc.c and edac_mc.h which will show up globally -
   this is not nice, it would be better that the memory scrubbing fuctionality
   and interface could be entirely contained within the memory controller it
   applies to.

Frithiof Jensen

edac_mc.c and its .h file is a CORE helper module for EDAC
driver modules. This provides the abstraction for device specific
drivers. It is fine to modify this CORE to provide help for
new features of the the drivers

[PATCH] tty: update the tty layer to work with struct pid

Of kernel subsystems that work with pids the tty layer is probably the largest
consumer.  But it has the nice virtue that the assiation with a session only
lasts until the session leader exits.  Which means that no reference counting
is required.  So using struct pid winds up being a simple optimization to
avoid hash table lookups.

In the long term the use of pid_nr also ensures that when we have multiple pid
spaces mixed everything will work correctly.

[PATCH] pid: make session_of_pgrp use struct pid instead of pid_t

To properly implement a pid namespace I need to deal exclusively in terms of
struct pid, because pid_t values become ambiguous.

To this end session_of_pgrp is transformed to take and return a struct pid
pointer.  To avoid the need to worry about reference counting I now require my
caller to hold the appropriate locks.  Leaving callers repsonsible for
increasing the reference count if they need access to the result outside of
the locks.

Since session_of_pgrp currently only has one caller and that caller simply
uses only test the result for equality with another process group, the locking
change means I don't actually have to acquire the tasklist_lock at all.

tiocspgrp is also modified to take and release the lock.  The logic there is a
little more complicated but nothing I won't need when I convert pgrp of a tty
to a struct pid pointer.

[PATCH] tty: make __proc_set_tty static

The aim of this patch set is to start wrapping up the struct pid conversions.
As such this patchset culminates with the removal of kill_pg, kill_pg_info,
__kill_pg_info, do_each_task_pid, and while_each_task_pid.

kill_proc, daemonize, and kernel_thread are still in my sights but there is
still work to get to them.

The first three are basic cleanups around disassociate_ctty, while working on
converting it I found several issues.  tty_old_pgrp can be a tricky concept to
wrap your head around.

 1 tty: Make __proc_set_tty static.
 2 tty: Clarify disassociate_ctty
 3 tty: Fix the locking for signal->session in disassociate_ctty

These just stop using the old helper functions.

 4 signal: Use kill_pgrp not kill_pg in the sunos compatibility code.
 5 signal: Rewrite kill_something_info so it uses newer helpers.

Then the grind to convert the tty layer and all of it's helper functions to
struct pid.

 6 pid: Make session_of_pgrp use struct pid instead of pid_t.
 7 pid: Use struct pid for talking about process groups in exit.c
 8 pid: Replace is_orphaned_pgrp with is_current_pgrp_orphaned
 9 tty: Update the tty layer to work with struct pid.

A final helper function update.

10 pid: Replace do/while_each_task_pid with do/while_each_pid_task

And the removal of the functions that are now unused.
11 pid: Remove now unused do_each_task_pid and while_each_task_pid
12 pid: Remove the now unused kill_pg kill_pg_info and __kill_pg_info

All of these should be fairly simple and to the point.

This patch:

Currently all users of __proc_set_tty are in tty_io.c so make the function
static.

[PATCH] RTC gets sysfs wakealarm attribute

This adds a new "wakealarm" sysfs attribute to RTC class devices which support
alarm operations and are wakeup-capable:

 - It reads as either empty, or the scheduled alarm time as seconds
   since the POSIX epoch.  (That time may already have passed, since
   nothing currently enforces one-shot alarm semantics.)

 - It can be written with an alarm time in the future, again seconds
   since the POSIX epoch, which enables the alarm.

 - It can be written with an alarm time not in the future (such as 0,
   the start of the POSIX epoch) to disable the alarm.

Usage examples (some need GNU date) after "cd /sys/class/rtc/rtcN":

    alarm after 10 minutes:
# echo $(( $(cat since_epoch) + 10 * 60 )) > wakealarm
    alarm tuesday evening 10pm:
# date -d '10pm tuesday' "+%s" > wakealarm
    disable alarm:
     # echo 0 > wakealarm

This resembles the /proc/acpi/alarm file in that nothing happens when the
alarm triggers ...  except possibly waking the system from sleep.  It's also
like that in a nasty way: not much can be done to prevent one task from
clobbering another task's alarm settings.

It differs from that file in that there's no in-kernel date parser.

Note that a few RTCs ignore rtc_wkalrm.enabled when setting alarms, or aren't
set up correctly, so they won't yet behave with this attribute.

Problem Description:
When reading from an inotify device with an insufficient sized buffer, read(2)
will return 0 with no errno set. This is because of an logically incorrect

This patch is based on the proposal from Ryan <wolf0403@hotmail.com>, and
feedback from John McCutchan <john@johnmccutchan.com>.

Return -EINVAL if we have not passed in enough buffer space to read a single
inotify event, rather than 0 which indicates that there is nothing to read.

Andreas Gruenbacher [Mon, 12 Feb 2007 08:51:47 +0000 (00:51 -0800)]
[PATCH] Fix d_path for lazy unmounts

Here is a bugfix to d_path.

First, when d_path() hits a lazily unmounted mount point, it tries to
prepend the name of the lazily unmounted dentry to the path name.  It gets
this wrong, and also overwrites the slash that separates the name from the
following pathname component.  This is demonstrated by the attached test
case, which prints "getcwd returned d_path-bugsubdir" with the bug.  The
correct result would be "getcwd returned d_path-bug/subdir".

It could be argued that the name of the root dentry should not be part of
the result of d_path in the first place.  On the other hand, what the
unconnected namespace was once reachable as may provide some useful hints
to users, and so that seems okay.

Second, it isn't always possible to tell from the __d_path result whether
the specified root and rootmnt (i.e., the chroot) was reached: lazy
unmounts of bind mounts will produce a path that does start with a
non-slash so we can tell from that, but other lazy unmounts will produce a
path that starts with a slash, just like "ordinary" paths.

The attached patch cleans up __d_path() to fix the bug with overlapping
pathname components.  It also adds a @fail_deleted argument, which allows
to get rid of some of the mess in sys_getcwd().  Grabbing the dcache_lock
can then also be moved into __d_path().  The patch also makes sure that
paths will only start with a slash for paths which are connected to the
root and rootmnt.

The @fail_deleted argument could be added to d_path() as well: this would
allow callers to recognize deleted files, without having to resort to the
ambiguous check for the " (deleted)" string at the end of the pathnames.
This is not currently done, but it might be worthwhile.

[PATCH] Make BH_Unwritten a first class bufferhead flag V2

Currently, XFS uses BH_PrivateStart for flagging unwritten extent state in a
bufferhead.  Recently, I found the long standing mmap/unwritten extent
conversion bug, and it was to do with partial page invalidation not clearing
the unwritten flag from bufferheads attached to the page but beyond EOF.  See
here for a full explaination:

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00196.html

The solution I have checked into the XFS dev tree involves duplicating code
from block_invalidatepage to clear the unwritten flag from the bufferhead(s),
and then calling block_invalidatepage() to do the rest.

Christoph suggested that this would be better solved by pushing the unwritten
flag into the common buffer head flags and just adding the call to
discard_buffer():

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00239.html
