8feaf0c0a5 [INET]: Generalise tcp_tw_bucket, aka TIME_WAIT sockets
This paves the way to generalise the rest of the sock ID lookup
routines and saves some bytes in TCPv4 TIME_WAIT sockets on distro
kernels (where IPv6 is always built as a module):

[root@qemu ~]# grep tw_sock /proc/slabinfo
tw_sock_TCPv6  0  0  128  31  1
tw_sock_TCP    0  0   96  41  1
[root@qemu ~]#

Now if a protocol wants to use the TIME_WAIT generic infrastructure it
only has to set the sk_prot->twsk_obj_size field with the size of its
inet_timewait_sock derived sock and proto_register will create
sk_prot->twsk_slab, for now its only for INET sockets, but we can
introduce timewait_sock later if some non INET transport protocolo
wants to use this stuff.

Next changesets will take advantage of this new infrastructure to
generalise even more TCP code.

[acme@toy net-2.6.14]$ grep built-in /tmp/before.size /tmp/after.size
/tmp/before.size: 188646   11764    5068  205478   322a6 net/ipv4/built-in.o
/tmp/after.size:  188144   11764    5068  204976   320b0 net/ipv4/built-in.o
[acme@toy net-2.6.14]$

Tested with both IPv4 & IPv6 (::1 (localhost) & ::ffff:172.20.0.1
(qemu host)).

c752f0739f [TCP]: Move the tcp sock states to net/tcp_states.h
Lots of places just needs the states, not even linux/tcp.h, where this
enum was, needs it.

This speeds up development of the refactorings as less sources are
rebuilt when things get moved from net/tcp.h.

1444fc559b [NETFILTER]: don't use nested attributes for conntrack_expect
We used to use nested nfattr structures for ip_conntrack_expect.  This is
bogus, since ip_conntrack and ip_conntrack_expect are communicated in
different netlink message types.  both should be encoded at the top level
attributes, no extra nesting required.  This patch addresses the issue.

927ccbcc28 [NETFILTER]: attribute count is an attribute of message type, not subsytem
Prior to this patch, every nfnetlink subsystem had to specify it's
attribute count.  However, in reality the attribute count depends on
the message type within the subsystem, not the subsystem itself.  This
patch moves 'attr_count' from 'struct nfnetlink_subsys' into
nfnl_callback to fix this.

a86888b925 [NETFILTER]: Fix multiple problems with the conntrack event cache
refcnt underflow: the reference count is decremented when a conntrack
entry is removed from the hash but it is not incremented when entering
new entries.

missing protection of process context against softirq context: all
cache operations need to locally disable softirqs to avoid races.
Additionally the event cache can't be initialized when a packet
enteres the conntrack code but needs to be initialized whenever we
cache an event and the stored conntrack entry doesn't match the
current one.

incorrect flushing of the event cache in ip_ct_iterate_cleanup:
without real locking we can't flush the cache for different CPUs
without incurring races. The cache for different CPUs can only be
flushed when no packets are going through the
code. ip_ct_iterate_cleanup doesn't need to drop all references, so
flushing is moved to the cleanup path.

a55ebcc4c4 [INET]: Move bind_hash from tcp_sk to inet_sk
This should really be in a inet_connection_sock, but I'm leaving it
for a later optimization, when some more fields common to INET
transport protocols now in tcp_sk or inet_sk will be chunked out into
inet_connection_sock, for now its better to concentrate on getting the
changes in the core merged to leave the DCCP tree with only DCCP
specific code.

Next changesets will take advantage of this move to generalise things
like tcp_bind_hash, tcp_put_port, tcp_inherit_port, making the later
receive a inet_hashinfo parameter, and even __tcp_tw_hashdance, etc in
the future, when tcp_tw_bucket gets transformed into the struct
timewait_sock hierarchy.

tcp_destroy_sock also is eligible as soon as tcp_orphan_count gets
moved to sk_prot.

A cascade of incremental changes will ultimately make the tcp_lookup
functions be fully generic.

0f7ff9274e [INET]: Just rename the TCP hashtable functions/structs to inet_
This is to break down the complexity of the series of patches,
making it very clear that this one just does:

1. renames tcp_ prefixed hashtable functions and data structures that
   were already mostly generic to inet_ to share it with DCCP and
   other INET transport protocols.

2. Removes not used functions (__tb_head & tb_head)

3. Removes some leftover prototypes in the headers (tcp_bucket_unlock &
   tcp_v4_build_header)

Next changesets will move tcp_sk(sk)->bind_hash to inet_sock so that we can
make functions such as tcp_inherit_port, __tcp_inherit_port, tcp_v4_get_port,
__tcp_put_port,  generic and get others like tcp_destroy_sock closer to generic
(tcp_orphan_count will go to sk->sk_prot to allow this).

Eventually most of these functions will be used passing the transport protocol
inet_hashinfo structure.

608c8e4f7b [NETFILTER]: Extend netfilter logging API

- add comment to ip[6]t_LOG.h to assure nobody redefines flags
- add /proc/net/netfilter/nf_log to tell user which logger is currently
  registered for which address family
- if user has configured logging, but no logging backend (logger) is
  available, always spit a message to syslog, not just the first time.
- split ip[6]t_LOG.c into two parts:
  Backend: Always try to register as logger for the respective address family
  Frontend: Always log via nf_log_packet() API
- modify all users of nf_log_packet() to accomodate additional argument

Add ctnetlink subsystem for userspace-access to ip_conntrack table.
This allows reading and updating of existing entries, as well as

Please note the 'strange' byte order: nfattr (tag+length) are in host
byte order, while the payload is always guaranteed to be in network
byte order.  This allows a simple userspace process to encapsulate netlink
messages into arch-independent udp packets by just processing/swapping the
headers and not knowing anything about the actual payload.

6869c4d8e0 [NETFILTER]: reduce netfilter sk_buff enlargement
As discussed at netconf'05, we're trying to save every bit in sk_buff.
The patch below makes sk_buff 8 bytes smaller.  I did some basic
testing on my notebook and it seems to work.

The only real in-tree user of nfcache was IPVS, who only needs a
single bit.  Unfortunately I couldn't find some other free bit in
sk_buff to stuff that bit into, so I introduced a separate field for
them.  Maybe the IPVS guys can resolve that to further save space.

Initially I wanted to shrink pkt_type to three bits (PACKET_HOST and
alike are only 6 values defined), but unfortunately the bluetooth code
overloads pkt_type :(

The conntrack-event-api (out-of-tree) uses nfcache, but Rusty just
came up with a way how to do it without any skb fields, so it's safe
to remove it.

- remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code
- don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own
  compile-conditional skb->ipvs_property field.  IPVS maintainers can
  decide to move this bit elswhere, but nfcache needs to die.
- remove skb->nfcache field to save 4 bytes
- move skb->nfctinfo into three unused bits to save further 4 bytes

9e2d3cd34a [PATCH] mod_devicetable.h fixes
* ieee1394_device_id has kernel_ulong_t field after an odd number of
   __u32 ones.  Since mod_devicetable.h is included both from kernel and
   from host build helper, we may be in trouble if we are building on
   32bit host for 64bit target - userland sees unsigned long long,
   kernel sees unsigned long and while their sizes match, alignments
   might not.  Fixed by forcing alignment.  Fortunately, almost nobody
   else needs that - the rest of such fields is naturally aligned as it
   is.

 * of_device_id has void * in it.  Host userland helpers need
   kernel_ulong_t instead, since their void * might have nothing to do
   with the kernel one.  Fixed in the same way it's done for similar
   problems in pcmcia_device_id (ifdef __KERNEL__).

 * pcmcia_device_id has the same problem as ieee1394_device_id.  Fixed
   the same way.

c138950371 [PATCH] fix atapi_packet_task vs. intr race (take 2)
Interrupts from devices sharing the same IRQ could cause
ata_host_intr to finish commands being processed by atapi_packet_task
if the commands are using ATA_PROT_ATAPI_NODATA or ATA_PROT_ATAPI_DMA
protocol.  This is because libata interrupt handler is unaware that
interrupts are not expected during that period.  This patch adds
ATA_FLAG_NOINTR flag to tell the interrupt handler that we're not
expecting interrupts.

 Note that once proper HSM is implemented for interrupt-driven PIO,
this should be merged into it and this flag will be removed.

 ahci.c is a different kind of beast, so it's left alone.

* The following drivers use ata_qc_issue_prot and ata_interrupt, so
  changes in libata core will do.

  ata_piix sata_sil sata_svw sata_via sata_sis sata_uli

* The following drivers use ata_qc_issue_prot and custom intr handler.
  They need this change to work correctly.

  sata_nv sata_vsc

* The following drivers use custom issue function and intr handler.
  Currently all custom issue functions don't support ATAPI, so this
  change is irrelevant, updated for consistency and to avoid later
  mistakes.

cc314eef01 Fix nasty ncpfs symlink handling bug.
This bug could cause oopses and page state corruption, because ncpfs
used the generic page-cache symlink handlign functions.  But those
functions only work if the page cache is guaranteed to be "stable", ie a
page that was installed when the symlink walk was started has to still
be installed in the page cache at the end of the walk.

We could have fixed ncpfs to not use the generic helper routines, but it
is in many ways much cleaner to instead improve on the symlink walking
helper routines so that they don't require that absolute stability.

We do this by allowing "follow_link()" to return a error-pointer as a
cookie, which is fed back to the cleanup "put_link()" routine.  This
also simplifies NFS symlink handling.

dc59250c6e [PATCH] NFS: Introduce the use of inode->i_lock to protect fields in nfsi
Down the road we want to eliminate the use of the global kernel lock entirely
from the NFS client.  To do this, we need to protect the fields in the
nfs_inode structure adequately.  Start by serializing updates to the
"cache_validity" field.

Note this change addresses an SMP hang found by njw@osdl.org, where processes
deadlock because nfs_end_data_update and nfs_revalidate_mapping update the
"cache_validity" field without proper serialization.

Test plan:
 Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.  Run Nick Wilson's breaknfs program on
 large SMP clients.

412d582ec1 [PATCH] NFS: use atomic bitops to manipulate flags in nfsi->flags
Introduce atomic bitops to manipulate the bits in the nfs_inode structure's
"flags" field.

Using bitops means we can use a generic wait_on_bit call instead of an ad hoc
locking scheme in fs/nfs/inode.c, so we can remove the "nfs_i_wait" field from
nfs_inode at the same time.

The other new flags field will continue to use bitmask and logic AND and OR.
This permits several flags to be set at the same time efficiently.  The
following patch adds a spin lock to protect these flags, and this spin lock
will later cover other fields in the nfs_inode structure, amortizing the cost
of using this type of serialization.

Test plan:
 Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.

65e4308d25 [PATCH] NFS: Ensure we always update inode->i_mode when doing O_EXCL creates
When the client performs an exclusive create and opens the file for writing,
a Netapp filer will first create the file using the mode 01777. It does this
since an NFSv3/v4 exclusive create cannot immediately set the mode bits.
The 01777 mode then gets put into the inode->i_mode. After the file creation
is successful, we then do a setattr to change the mode to the correct value
(as per the NFS spec).

The problem is that nfs_refresh_inode() no longer updates inode->i_mode, so
the latter retains the 01777 mode. A bit later, the VFS notices this, and calls
remove_suid(). This of course now resets the file mode to inode->i_mode & 0777.
Hey presto, the file mode on the server is now magically changed to 0777. Duh...

The two functions are

 - fsnotify_nameremove -- called when a directory entry is going away.
   It notifies the PARENT of the deletion.  This is called from
   d_delete().

 - inoderemove -- called when the files inode itself is going away.  It
   notifies the inode that is being deleted.  This is called from

ba02508248 [PATCH] blk: fix tag shrinking (revive real_max_size)
My patch in commit fa72b903f7 incorrectly
removed blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth.

The original resize implementation was incorrect in the following
points.

 * actual allocation size of tag_index was shorter than real_max_size,
   but assumed to be of the same size, possibly causing memory access
   beyond the allocated area.
 * bits in tag_map between max_deptn and real_max_depth were
   initialized to 1's, making the tags permanently reserved.

In an attempt to fix above two bugs, I had removed allocation optimization
in init_tag_map and real_max_size.  Tag map/index were allocated and freed
immediately during resize.

Unfortunately, I wasn't considering that tag map/index can be resized
dynamically with tags beyond new_depth active.  This led to accessing
freed area after shrinking tags and led to the following bug reporting
thread on linux-scsi.

   http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112319898111885&w=2

To fix the problem, I've revived real_max_depth without allocation
optimization in init_tag_map, and Andrew Vasquez confirmed that the
problem was fixed.  As Jens is not going to be available for a week, he
asked me to make sure that this patch reaches you.

   http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112325778530886&w=2

Also, a comment was added to make sure that real_max_size is needed for
dynamic shrinking.

fec59a711e [PATCH] PCI: restore BAR values after D3hot->D0 for devices that need it
Some PCI devices (e.g. 3c905B, 3c556B) lose all configuration
(including BARs) when transitioning from D3hot->D0.  This leaves such
a device in an inaccessible state.  The patch below causes the BARs
to be restored when enabling such a device, so that its driver will
be able to access it.

The patch also adds pci_restore_bars as a new global symbol, and adds a
correpsonding EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for that.

Some firmware (e.g. Thinkpad T21) leaves devices in D3hot after a
(re)boot.  Most drivers call pci_enable_device very early, so devices
left in D3hot that lose configuration during the D3hot->D0 transition
will be inaccessible to their drivers.

Drivers could be modified to account for this, but it would
be difficult to know which drivers need modification.  This is
especially true since often many devices are covered by the same
driver.  It likely would be necessary to replicate code across dozens
of drivers.

The patch below should trigger only when transitioning from D3hot->D0
(or at boot), and only for devices that have the "no soft reset" bit
cleared in the PM control register.  I believe it is safe to include
this patch as part of the PCI infrastructure.

The cleanest implementation of pci_restore_bars was to call
pci_update_resource.  Unfortunately, that does not currently exist
for the sparc64 architecture.  The patch below includes a null
implemenation of pci_update_resource for sparc64.

Some have expressed interest in making general use of the the
pci_restore_bars function, so that has been exported to GPL licensed
modules.

f33ea7f404 [PATCH] fix get_user_pages bug
Checking pte_dirty instead of pte_write in __follow_page is problematic
for s390, and for copy_one_pte which leaves dirty when clearing write.

So revert __follow_page to check pte_write as before, and make
do_wp_page pass back a special extra VM_FAULT_WRITE bit to say it has
done its full job: once get_user_pages receives this value, it no longer
requires pte_write in __follow_page.

But most callers of handle_mm_fault, in the various architectures, have
switch statements which do not expect this new case.  To avoid changing
them all in a hurry, make an inline wrapper function (using the old
name) that masks off the new bit, and use the extended interface with
double underscores.

Yes, we do have a call to do_wp_page from do_swap_page, but no need to
change that: in rare case it's needed, another do_wp_page will follow.

c293621bbf [PATCH] stale POSIX lock handling
I believe that there is a problem with the handling of POSIX locks, which
the attached patch should address.

The problem appears to be a race between fcntl(2) and close(2).  A
multithreaded application could close a file descriptor at the same time as
it is trying to acquire a lock using the same file descriptor.  I would
suggest that that multithreaded application is not providing the proper
synchronization for itself, but the OS should still behave correctly.

SUS3 (Single UNIX Specification Version 3, read: POSIX) indicates that when
a file descriptor is closed, that all POSIX locks on the file, owned by the
process which closed the file descriptor, should be released.

The trick here is when those locks are released.  The current code releases
all locks which exist when close is processing, but any locks in progress
are handled when the last reference to the open file is released.

There are three cases to consider.

One is the simple case, a multithreaded (mt) process has a file open and
races to close it and acquire a lock on it.  In this case, the close will
release one reference to the open file and when the fcntl is done, it will
release the other reference.  For this situation, no locks should exist on
the file when both the close and fcntl operations are done.  The current
system will handle this case because the last reference to the open file is
being released.

The second case is when the mt process has dup(2)'d the file descriptor.
The close will release one reference to the file and the fcntl, when done,
will release another, but there will still be at least one more reference
to the open file.  One could argue that the existence of a lock on the file
after the close has completed is okay, because it was acquired after the
close operation and there is still a way for the application to release the
lock on the file, using an existing file descriptor.

The third case is when the mt process has forked, after opening the file
and either before or after becoming an mt process.  In this case, each
process would hold a reference to the open file.  For each process, this
degenerates to first case above.  However, the lock continues to exist
until both processes have released their references to the open file.  This
lock could block other lock requests.

The changes to release the lock when the last reference to the open file
aren't quite right because they would allow the lock to exist as long as
there was a reference to the open file.  This is too long.

The new proposed solution is to add support in the fcntl code path to
detect a race with close and then to release the lock which was just
acquired when such as race is detected.  This causes locks to be released
in a timely fashion and for the system to conform to the POSIX semantic
specification.

This was tested by instrumenting a kernel to detect the handling locks and
then running a program which generates case #3 above.  A dangling lock
could be reliably generated.  When the changes to detect the close/fcntl
race were added, a dangling lock could no longer be generated.

951f22d5b1 [PATCH] s390: spin lock retry
Split spin lock and r/w lock implementation into a single try which is done
inline and an out of line function that repeatedly tries to get the lock
before doing the cpu_relax().  Add a system control to set the number of
retries before a cpu is yielded.

The reason for the spin lock retry is that the diagnose 0x44 that is used to
give up the virtual cpu is quite expensive.  For spin locks that are held only
for a short period of time the costs of the diagnoses outweights the savings
for spin locks that are held for a longer timer.  The default retry count is
1000.

49f2991585 [PATCH] i4l: add Olitec ISDN PCI card in hisax gazel driver
This patch adds support for the Olitec ISDN PCI card in the hisax gazel
driver.  The gazel driver supports this card, but wasn't aware of its PCI
ids.  Users used to modify the PCI ids of a supported card in
include/linux/pci_ids.h and recompile their kernel to get this card
running, as said in most Howtos.  This patch makes the hisax gazel driver
recognize the PCI ids of the Olitec ISDN PCI card.

05caac585f [SERIAL] Convert parport_serial to use new 8250_pci interfaces
Convert parport_serial to use the new 8250_pci interface, converting
the table to a pciserial_board table.  This also unuses the SPCI_*
definitions in serialP.h, which can now be removed.
