* fs: change d_compare for rcu-walkNick Piggin2011-01-0723-157/+242
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Change d_compare so it may be called from lock-free RCU lookups. This does put significant restrictions on what may be done from the callback, however there don't seem to have been any problems with in-tree fses. If some strange use case pops up that _really_ cannot cope with the rcu-walk rules, we can just add new rcu-unaware callbacks, which would cause name lookup to drop out of rcu-walk mode. For in-tree filesystems, this is just a mechanical change. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
* fs: name case update methodNick Piggin2011-01-074-31/+37
| | | | | | | smpfs and ncpfs want to update a live dentry name in-place. Rather than have them open code the locking, provide a documented dcache API. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
* jfs: dont overwrite dentry name in d_revalidateNick Piggin2011-01-071-8/+35
| | | | | | | | Use vfat's method for dealing with negative dentries to preserve case, rather than overwrite dentry name in d_revalidate, which is a bit ugly and also gets in the way of doing lock-free path walking. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

* fs: change d_delete semanticsNick Piggin2011-01-0722-42/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching advise, more like ->drop_inode. Require it to be constant and idempotent, and not take d_lock. This is how all existing filesystems use the callback anyway. This makes fine grained dentry locking of dput and dentry lru scanning much simpler. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
* fs: dcache documentation cleanupNick Piggin2011-01-071-12/+6

* config fs: avoid switching ->d_op on live dentryNick Piggin2011-01-071-8/+9
| | | | | | | | | Switching d_op on a live dentry is racy in general, so avoid it. In this case it is a negative dentry, which is safer, but there are still concurrent ops which may be called on d_op in that case (eg. d_revalidate). So in general a filesystem may not do this. Fix configfs so as not to do this. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

* fs: use fast counters for vfs cachesNick Piggin2011-01-072-13/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | percpu_counter library generates quite nasty code, so unless you need to dynamically allocate counters or take fast approximate value, a simple per cpu set of counters is much better. The percpu_counter can never be made to work as well, because it has an indirection from pointer to percpu memory, and it can't use direct this_cpu_inc interfaces because it doesn't use static PER_CPU data, so code will always be worse. In the fastpath, it is the difference between this: incl %gs:nr_dentry # nr_dentry and this: movl percpu_counter_batch(%rip), %edx # percpu_counter_batch, movl $1, %esi #, movq $nr_dentry, %rdi #, call __percpu_counter_add # (plus I clobber registers) __percpu_counter_add: pushq %rbp # movq %rsp, %rbp #, subq $32, %rsp #, movq %rbx, -24(%rbp) #, movq %r12, -16(%rbp) #, movq %r13, -8(%rbp) #, movq %rdi, %rbx # fbc, fbc #APP # 216 "/home/npiggin/usr/src/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h" 1 movq %gs:kernel_stack,%rax #, pfo_ret__ # 0 "" 2 #NO_APP incl -8124(%rax) # <variable>.preempt_count movq 32(%rdi), %r12 # <variable>.counters, tcp_ptr__ #APP # 78 "lib/percpu_counter.c" 1 add %gs:this_cpu_off, %r12 # this_cpu_off, tcp_ptr__ # 0 "" 2 #NO_APP movslq (%r12),%r13 #* tcp_ptr__, tmp73 movslq %edx,%rax # batch, batch addq %rsi, %r13 # amount, count cmpq %rax, %r13 # batch, count jge .L27 #, negl %edx # tmp76 movslq %edx,%rdx # tmp76, tmp77 cmpq %rdx, %r13 # tmp77, count jg .L28 #, .L27: movq %rbx, %rdi # fbc, call _raw_spin_lock # addq %r13, 8(%rbx) # count, <variable>.count movq %rbx, %rdi # fbc, movl $0, (%r12) #,* tcp_ptr__ call _raw_spin_unlock # .L29: #APP # 216 "/home/npiggin/usr/src/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h" 1 movq %gs:kernel_stack,%rax #, pfo_ret__ # 0 "" 2 #NO_APP decl -8124(%rax) # <variable>.preempt_count movq -8136(%rax), %rax #, D.14625 testb $8, %al #, D.14625 jne .L32 #, .L31: movq -24(%rbp), %rbx #, movq -16(%rbp), %r12 #, movq -8(%rbp), %r13 #, leave ret .p2align 4,,10 .p2align 3 .L28: movl %r13d, (%r12) # count,* jmp .L29 # .L32: call preempt_schedule # .p2align 4,,6 jmp .L31 # .size __percpu_counter_add, .-__percpu_counter_add .p2align 4,,15 Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
* vfs: revert per-cpu nr_unused counters for dentry and inodesNick Piggin2011-01-072-21/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The nr_unused counters count the number of objects on an LRU, and as such they are synchronized with LRU object insertion and removal and scanning, and protected under the LRU lock. Making it per-cpu does not actually get any concurrency improvements because of this lock, and summing the counter is much slower, and incrementing/decrementing it costs more code size and is slower too. These counters should stay per-LRU, which currently means global. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

* fs: d_validate fixesNick Piggin2011-01-071-18/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | d_validate has been broken for a long time. kmem_ptr_validate does not guarantee that a pointer can be dereferenced if it can go away at any time. Even rcu_read_lock doesn't help, because the pointer might be queued in RCU callbacks but not executed yet. So the parent cannot be checked, nor the name hashed. The dentry pointer can not be touched until it can be verified under lock. Hashing simply cannot be used. Instead, verify the parent/child relationship by traversing parent's d_child list. It's slow, but only ncpfs and the destaged smbfs care about it, at this point. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

This seems fine itself, but br_send_bpdu() invokes ebtables LOCAL_OUT. We oops in ebt_basic_match() because it assumes eth_hdr(skb) returns a meaningful result.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 3f5a2a713aad28480d86b0add00c68484b54febc zeroes out the statistics message block (SMB) and coalescing message block (CMB) when adapter ring resources are freed. This is desirable behavior, but, as a side effect, the commit leads to an oops when atl1_set_ringparam() attempts to alter the number of rx or tx elements in the ring buffer (by using ethtool -G, for example). We don't want SMB or CMB to change during this operation. Modify atl1_set_ringparam() to preserve SMB and CMB when changing ring parameters.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 56543af "starfire: use BUILD_BUG_ON for netdrv_addr_t" revealed that the preprocessor condition used to find the size of dma_addr_t yielded the wrong result for some architectures and configurations. This was kluged for 64-bit PowerPC in commit 3e502e6 by adding yet another case to the condition. However, 64-bit MIPS configurations are not detected reliably either. This should be fixed by using CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT, but that isn't yet defined everywhere it should be. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * ppp: allow disabling multilink protocol ID compressionstephen hemminger2010-12-281-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Linux would not connect to other router running old version Cisco IOS (12.0). This is most likely a bug in that version of IOS, since it is fixed in later versions. As a workaround this patch allows a module parameter to be set to disable compressing the protocol ID. See: https://bugzilla.vyatta.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3979 RFC 1990 allows an implementation to formulate MP fragments as if protocol compression had been negotiated. This allows us to always send compressed protocol IDs. But some implementations don't accept MP fragments with compressed protocol IDs. This parameter allows us to interoperate with them. The default value of the configurable parameter is the same as the current behavior: protocol compression is enabled. If protocol compression is disabled we will not send compressed protocol IDs. This is based on an earlier patch by Bob Gilligan (using a sysctl). Module parameter is writable to allow for enabling even if ppp is already loaded for other uses.

The problem was that a temporary page table mapping was being improperly restored. The PXA3xx resume code creates a temporary mapping of resume_turn_on_mmu to avoid a prefetch abort. The pxa3xx_resume_after_mmu code requires that the r1 register holding the address of this mapping not be modified, however, resume_turn_on_mmu does modify it. It is mostly correct in that r1 receives the base table address, but it may also get other bits in 13:0. This results in pxa3xx_resume_after_mmu restoring the original mapping to the wrong place, corrupting memory and leaving the temporary mapping in place.
