* [TEXTSEARCH]: Fix Boyer Moore initialization bugMichael Rash2006-08-221-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | The pattern is set after trying to compute the prefix table, which tries to use it. Initialize it before calling compute_prefix_tbl, make compute_prefix_tbl consistently use only the data from struct ts_bm and remove the now unnecessary arguments.

* [PATCH] disable debugging version of write_lock()Andrew Morton2006-08-061-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've confirmed that the debug version of write_lock() can get stuck for long enough to cause NMI watchdog timeouts and hence a crash. We don't know why, yet. Disable it for now. Also disable the similar read_lock() code. Just in case. Thanks to Dave Olson <olson@unixfolk.com> for reporting and testing.

* PCI: docking station: remove dock ueventsKristen Carlson Accardi2006-08-031-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove uevent dock notifications. There are no consumers of these events at present, and uevents are likely not the correct way to send this type of event anyway. Until I get some kind of idea if anyone in userspace cares about dock events, I will just not send any.

* [PATCH] Fix ppc32 zImage inflatePeter Korsgaard2006-07-311-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recent zlib update (commit 4f3865fb57a04db7cca068fed1c15badc064a302) broke ppc32 zImage decompression as it tries to decompress to address zero and the updated zlib_inflate checks that strm->next_out isn't a null pointer.

* [PATCH] Convert idr's internal locking to _irqsave variantRoland Dreier2006-07-141-6/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the code in lib/idr.c uses a bare spin_lock(&idp->lock) to do internal locking. This is a nasty trap for code that might call idr functions from different contexts; for example, it seems perfectly reasonable to call idr_get_new() from process context and idr_remove() from interrupt context -- but with the current locking this would lead to a potential deadlock. The simplest fix for this is to just convert the idr locking to use spin_lock_irqsave(). In particular, this fixes a very complicated locking issue detected by lockdep, involving the ib_ipoib driver's priv->lock and dev->_xmit_lock, which get involved with the ib_sa module's query_idr.lock.

* [PATCH] lockdep: allow read_lock() recursion of same classIngo Molnar2006-07-031-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> lockdep so far only allowed read-recursion for the same lock instance. This is enough in the overwhelming majority of cases, but a hostap case triggered and reported by Miles Lane relies on same-class different-instance recursion. So we relax the restriction on read-lock recursion. (This change does not allow rwsem read-recursion, which is still forbidden.)

* [PATCH] lockdep: coreIngo Molnar2006-07-032-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do 'make oldconfig' and accept all the defaults for new config options - reboot into the kernel and if everything goes well it should boot up fine and you should have /proc/lockdep and /proc/lockdep_stats files. Typically if the lock validator finds some problem it will print out voluminous debug output that begins with "BUG: ..." and which syslog output can be used by kernel developers to figure out the precise locking scenario. What does the lock validator do? It "observes" and maps all locking rules as they occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel's natural use of spinlocks, rwlocks, mutexes and rwsems). Whenever the lock validator subsystem detects a new locking scenario, it validates this new rule against the existing set of rules. If this new rule is consistent with the existing set of rules then the new rule is added transparently and the kernel continues as normal. If the new rule could create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out. When determining validity of locking, all possible "deadlock scenarios" are considered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context and task context constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all the existing locking scenarios. In a typical system this means millions of separate scenarios. This is why we call it a "locking correctness" validator - for all rules that are observed the lock validator proves it with mathematical certainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming that the lock validator implementation itself is correct and its internal data structures are not corrupted by some other kernel subsystem). [see more details and conditionals of this statement in include/linux/lockdep.h and Documentation/lockdep-design.txt] Furthermore, this "all possible scenarios" property of the validator also enables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU multi-context races via single single-context rules, increasing the likelyhood of finding bugs drastically. In practical terms: the lock validator already found a bug in the upstream kernel that could only occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and which needed 3 very unlikely code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs. That bug was found and reported on a single-CPU system (!). So in essence a race will be found "piecemail-wise", triggering all the necessary components for the race, without having to reproduce the race scenario itself! In its short existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they actually caused a real deadlock. To further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not per "lock instance", but per "lock-class". For example, all struct inode objects in the kernel have inode->inotify_mutex. If there are 10,000 inodes cached, then there are 10,000 lock objects. But ->inotify_mutex is a single "lock type", and all locking activities that occur against ->inotify_mutex are "unified" into this single lock-class. The advantage of the lock-class approach is that all historical ->inotify_mutex uses are mapped into a single (and as narrow as possible) set of locking rules - regardless of how many different tasks or inode structures it took to build this set of rules. The set of rules persist during the lifetime of the kernel. To see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does, here's a portion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup: lock-classes: 694 [max: 2048] direct dependencies: 1598 [max: 8192] indirect dependencies: 17896 all direct dependencies: 16206 dependency chains: 1910 [max: 8192] in-hardirq chains: 17 in-softirq chains: 105 in-process chains: 1065 stack-trace entries: 38761 [max: 131072] combined max dependencies: 2033928 hardirq-safe locks: 24 hardirq-unsafe locks: 176 softirq-safe locks: 53 softirq-unsafe locks: 137 irq-safe locks: 59 irq-unsafe locks: 176 The lock validator has observed 1598 actual single-thread locking patterns, and has validated all possible 2033928 distinct locking scenarios.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generic lock debugging: - generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems. - got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway. - ability to do silent tests - check lock freeing in vfree too. - more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to turn off more expensive debugging features. There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks' stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock classes. (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first checks whether we are holding a lock already) Here are the current debugging options: CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y which do: config DEBUG_MUTEXES bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks" config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes" Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] Fix bounds check in vsnprintf, to allow for a 0 size and NULL bufferJeremy Fitzhardinge2006-06-251-32/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change allows callers to use a 0-byte buffer and a NULL buffer pointer with vsnprintf, so it can be used to determine how large the resulting formatted string will be. Previously the code effectively treated a size of 0 as a size of 4G (on 32-bit systems), with other checks preventing it from actually trying to emit the string - but the terminal \0 would still be written, which would crash if the buffer is NULL. This change changes the boundary check so that 'end' points to the putative location of the terminal '\0', which is only written if size > 0. vsnprintf still allows the buffer size to be set very large, to allow unbounded buffer sizes (to implement sprintf, etc).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | free blocks counter The percpu counter data type are changed in this set of patches to support more users like ext3 who need more than 32 bit to store the free blocks total in the filesystem. - Generic perpcu counters data type changes. The size of the global counter and local counter were explictly specified using s64 and s32. The global counter is changed from long to s64, while the local counter is changed from long to s32, so we could avoid doing 64 bit update in most cases. - Users of the percpu counters are updated to make use of the new percpu_counter_init() routine now taking an additional parameter to allow users to pass the initial value of the global counter.

* [PATCH] buglet in radix_tree_tag_setPeter Zijlstra2006-06-231-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The comment states: 'Setting a tag on a not-present item is a BUG.' Hence if 'index' is larger than the maxindex; the item _cannot_ be presen; it should also be a BUG. Also, this allows the following statement (assume a fresh tree): radix_tree_tag_set(root, 16, 1); to fail silently, but when preceded by: radix_tree_insert(root, 32, item); it would BUG, because the height has been extended by the insert. In neither case was 16 present.

* [PATCH] radix-tree: direct dataNick Piggin2006-06-231-81/+111
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ability to have height 0 radix trees (a direct pointer to the data item rather than going through a full node->slot) quietly disappeared with old-2.6-bkcvs commit ffee171812d51652f9ba284302d9e5c5cc14bdfd. On 64-bit machines this causes nearly 600 bytes to be used for every <= 4K file in pagecache. Re-introduce this feature, root tags stored in spare ->gfp_mask bits. Simplify radix_tree_delete's complex tag clearing arrangement (which would become even more complex) by just falling back to tag clearing functions (the pagecache radix-tree never uses this path anyway, so the icache savings will mean it's actually a speedup). On my 4GB G5, this saves 8MB RAM per kernel kernel source+object tree in pagecache. Pagecache lookup, insertion, and removal speed for small files will also be improved. This makes RCU radix tree harder, but it's worth it. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
