* [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mountDavid Howells2006-06-2383-431/+482
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint. The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt() which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour). The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the superblock pointer. This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root and mnt_sb would be set directly. The patch also makes the following changes: (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change very little. (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb(). (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon(). This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root, and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in dentries being left unculled. However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries with child trees. [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree. (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

* [PATCH] Fix cdrom being confused on using kdumpRachita Kothiyal2006-06-231-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have seen the cdrom drive appearing confused on using kdump on certain x86_64 systems. During the booting up of the second kernel, the following message would keep flooding the console, and the booting would not proceed any further. hda: cdrom_pc_intr: The drive appears confused (ireason = 0x01) In this patch, whenever we are hitting a confused state in the interrupt handler with the DRQ set, we end the request and return ide_stopped. Using this I dont see the status error.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Yeah, it's a hack, but it is only temporary until Alan's patches reworking this area make it in. We really should not care what devices below us are doing, especially when we do not really know what type of devices they are. This patch relies on the fact that the endpoint devices do not have a driver assigned to us. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The MMC specification allows non-power of two block sizes. As such, we should not pass the log2 block size to host drivers, but instead pass the byte size. However, ARM MMCI can only work with log2 block size, so continue to pass both the log2 block size and byte block size. This means that for the moment, the byte block size must remain a power of two, but this is the first stage of removing this restriction for other hosts.

We do not convert all instructions to the VFP-equivalent (yet) since binutils appears to barf on "fmrx rn, fpinst" and doesn't provide any other way (other than using the mrc equivalent) to encode this instruction - which is rather a problem when you have a VFP implementation which requires these instructions.

Unfortunately, the kernel hard-codes VFP instructions into the thread switch, which prevents this being run-time selectable. Solve this by introducing a notifier which things such as VFP can hook into to be informed of events which affect the VFP subsystem (eg, creation and destruction of threads, switches between threads.)

Due to non-existent ordering between cpu_hotplug lock and dbs_mutex. Basically a race condition between cpu_down() and do_dbs_timer(). cpu_down() flow: * cpu_down() call for CPU 1 * Takes hot plug lock * Calls pre down notifier * cpufreq notifier handler calls cpufreq_driver_target() which takes cpu_hotplug lock again. OK as cpu_hotplug lock is recursive in same process context * CPU 1 goes down * Calls post down notifier * cpufreq notifier handler calls ondemand event stop which takes dbs_mutex So, cpu_hotplug lock is taken before dbs_mutex in this flow. do_dbs_timer is triggerred by a periodic timer event. It first takes dbs_mutex and then takes cpu_hotplug lock in cpufreq_driver_target(). Note the reverse order here compared to above. So, if this timer event happens at right moment during cpu_down, system will deadlok. Attached patch fixes the issue for both ondemand and conservative.

Also clean up a couple of ancient comments which don't really apply anymore (as far as I know, nobody has ever damaged a CPU with this driver).
