801c135ce7 UBI: Unsorted Block Images
UBI (Latin: "where?") manages multiple logical volumes on a single
flash device, specifically supporting NAND flash devices. UBI provides
a flexible partitioning concept which still allows for wear-levelling
across the whole flash device.

In a sense, UBI may be compared to the Logical Volume Manager
(LVM). Whereas LVM maps logical sector numbers to physical HDD sector
numbers, UBI maps logical eraseblocks to physical eraseblocks.

More information may be found at
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubi.html

Partitioning/Re-partitioning

  An UBI volume occupies a certain number of erase blocks. This is
  limited by a configured maximum volume size, which could also be
  viewed as the partition size. Each individual UBI volume's size can
  be changed independently of the other UBI volumes, provided that the
  sum of all volume sizes doesn't exceed a certain limit.

  UBI supports dynamic volumes and static volumes. Static volumes are
  read-only and their contents are protected by CRC check sums.

Bad eraseblocks handling

  UBI transparently handles bad eraseblocks. When a physical
  eraseblock becomes bad, it is substituted by a good physical
  eraseblock, and the user does not even notice this.

Scrubbing

  On a NAND flash bit flips can occur on any write operation,
  sometimes also on read. If bit flips persist on the device, at first
  they can still be corrected by ECC, but once they accumulate,
  correction will become impossible. Thus it is best to actively scrub
  the affected eraseblock, by first copying it to a free eraseblock
  and then erasing the original. The UBI layer performs this type of
  scrubbing under the covers, transparently to the UBI volume users.

Erase Counts

  UBI maintains an erase count header per eraseblock. This frees
  higher-level layers (like file systems) from doing this and allows
  for centralized erase count management instead. The erase counts are
  used by the wear-levelling algorithm in the UBI layer. The algorithm
  itself is exchangeable.

Booting from NAND

  For booting directly from NAND flash the hardware must at least be
  capable of fetching and executing a small portion of the NAND
  flash. Some NAND flash controllers have this kind of support. They
  usually limit the window to a few kilobytes in erase block 0. This
  "initial program loader" (IPL) must then contain sufficient logic to
  load and execute the next boot phase.

  Due to bad eraseblocks, which may be randomly scattered over the
  flash device, it is problematic to store the "secondary program
  loader" (SPL) statically. Also, due to bit-flips it may become
  corrupted over time. UBI allows to solve this problem gracefully by
  storing the SPL in a small static UBI volume.

UBI volumes vs. static partitions

  UBI volumes are still very similar to static MTD partitions:

    * both consist of eraseblocks (logical eraseblocks in case of UBI
      volumes, and physical eraseblocks in case of static partitions;
    * both support three basic operations - read, write, erase.

  But UBI volumes have the following advantages over traditional
  static MTD partitions:

    * there are no eraseblock wear-leveling constraints in case of UBI
      volumes, so the user should not care about this;
    * there are no bit-flips and bad eraseblocks in case of UBI volumes.

  So, UBI volumes may be considered as flash devices with relaxed
  restrictions.

Where can it be found?

  Documentation, kernel code and applications can be found in the MTD
  gits.

What are the applications for?

  The applications help to create binary flash images for two purposes: pfi
  files (partial flash images) for in-system update of UBI volumes, and plain
  binary images, with or without OOB data in case of NAND, for a manufacturing
  step. Furthermore some tools are/and will be created that allow flash content
  analysis after a system has crashed..

Who did UBI?

  The original ideas, where UBI is based on, were developed by Andreas
  Arnez, Frank Haverkamp and Thomas Gleixner. Josh W. Boyer and some others
  were involved too. The implementation of the kernel layer was done by Artem
  B. Bityutskiy. The user-space applications and tools were written by Oliver
  Lohmann with contributions from Frank Haverkamp, Andreas Arnez, and Artem.
  Joern Engel contributed a patch which modifies JFFS2 so that it can be run on
  a UBI volume. Thomas Gleixner did modifications to the NAND layer. Alexander
  Schmidt made some testing work as well as core functionality improvements.

071b638689 [WORKQUEUE]: cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync()
del_timer_sync() buys nothing for cancel_delayed_work(), but it is less
efficient since it locks the timer unconditionally, and may wait for the
completion of the delayed_work_timer_fn().

cancel_delayed_work() == 0 means:

	before this patch:
		work->func may still be running or queued

	after this patch:
		work->func may still be running or queued, or
		delayed_work_timer_fn->__queue_work() in progress.

		The latter doesn't differ from the caller's POV,
		delayed_work_timer_fn() is called with _PENDING
		bit set.

cancel_delayed_work() == 1 with this patch adds a new possibility:

	delayed_work->work was cancelled, but delayed_work_timer_fn
	is still running (this is only possible for the re-arming
	works on single-threaded workqueue).

	In this case the timer was re-started by work->func(), nobody
	else can do this. This in turn means that delayed_work_timer_fn
	has already passed __queue_work() (and wont't touch delayed_work)
	because nobody else can queue delayed_work->work.

5b04aa3a64 [PATCH] Turn do_sync_file_range() into do_sync_mapping_range()
do_sync_file_range() accepts a file * from which it takes an address_space to
sync.  Abstract out the bulk of the function into do_sync_mapping_range()
which takes the address_space directly.  This way callers who want to sync an
address_space directly can take advantage of the functionality provided.

do_sync_file_range() is preserved as a small wrapper around
do_sync_mapping_range().

Ocfs2 in particular would like to use this to initiate a sync of a specific
inode range during truncate, where a file * may not be available.

663ead3bb8 [NET]: Use csum_start offset instead of skb_transport_header
The skb transport pointer is currently used to specify the start
of the checksum region for transmit checksum offload.  Unfortunately,
the same pointer is also used during receive side processing.

This creates a problem when we want to retransmit a received
packet with partial checksums since the skb transport pointer
would be overwritten.

This patch solves this problem by creating a new 16-bit csum_start
offset value to replace the skb transport header for the purpose
of checksums.  This offset is calculated from skb->head so that
it does not have to change when skb->data changes.

No extra space is required since csum_offset itself fits within
a 16-bit word so we can use the other 16 bits for csum_start.

For backwards compatibility, just before we push a packet with
partial checksums off into the device driver, we set the skb
transport header to what it would have been under the old scheme.

35fc92a9de [NET]: Allow forwarding of ip_summed except CHECKSUM_COMPLETE
Right now Xen has a horrible hack that lets it forward packets with
partial checksums.  One of the reasons that CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and
CHECKSUM_COMPLETE were added is so that we can get rid of this hack
(where it creates two extra bits in the skbuff to essentially mirror
ip_summed without being destroyed by the forwarding code).

I had forgotten that I've already gone through all the deivce drivers
last time around to make sure that they're looking at ip_summed ==
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL rather than ip_summed != 0 on transmit.  In any case,
I've now done that again so it should definitely be safe.

Unfortunately nobody has yet added any code to update CHECKSUM_COMPLETE
values on forward so we I'm setting that to CHECKSUM_NONE.  This should
be safe to remove for bridging but I'd like to check that code path
first.

So here is the patch that lets us get rid of the hack by preserving
ip_summed (mostly) on forwarded packets.

0947c9fe56 [NET] fib_rules: goto rule action
This patch adds a new rule action FR_ACT_GOTO which allows
to skip a set of rules by jumping to another rule. The rule
to jump to is specified via the FRA_GOTO attribute which
carries a rule preference.

Referring to a rule which doesn't exists is explicitely allowed.
Such goto rules are marked with the flag FIB_RULE_UNRESOLVED
and will act like a rule with a non-matching selector. The rule
will become functional as soon as its target is present.

The goto action enables performance optimizations by reducing
the average number of rules that have to be passed per lookup.

Example:
0:      from all lookup local
40:     not from all to 192.168.23.128 goto 32766
41:     from all fwmark 0xa blackhole

because a dump was started but no error happened. Instead it is
simpler and more clear to return -EINTR and have netlink_run_queue()
deal with getting the queue right.

nfnetlink passed on this error pointer to its subsystem handlers
but only uses it to signal the start of a netlink dump. Therefore
it can be removed there as well.

This patch also cleans up the error handling in the affected
message handlers to be consistent since it had to be touched anyway.

27a884dc3c [SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->tail to sk_buff_data_t
So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)

Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,
mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
meaningful as offsets or pointers.

2e07fa9cd3 [SK_BUFF]: Use offsets for skb->{mac,network,transport}_header on 64bit architectures
With this we save 8 bytes per network packet, leaving a 4 bytes hole to be used
in further shrinking work, likely with the offsetization of other pointers,
such as ->{data,tail,end}, at the cost of adds, that were minimized by the
usual practice of setting skb->{mac,nh,n}.raw to a local variable that is then
accessed multiple times in each function, it also is not more expensive than
before with regards to most of the handling of such headers, like setting one
of these headers to another (transport to network, etc), or subtracting, adding
to/from it, comparing them, etc.

Now we have this layout for sk_buff on a x86_64 machine:

On 32 bits nothing changes, and pointers continue to be used with the compiler
turning all this abstraction layer into dust. But there are some sk_buff

759e5d0064 [UDP]: Clean up UDP-Lite receive checksum
This patch eliminates some duplicate code for the verification of
receive checksums between UDP-Lite and UDP.  It does this by
introducing __skb_checksum_complete_head which is identical to
__skb_checksum_complete_head apart from the fact that it takes
a length parameter rather than computing the first skb->len bytes.

As a result UDP-Lite will be able to use hardware checksum offload
for packets which do not use partial coverage checksums.  It also
means that UDP-Lite loopback no longer does unnecessary checksum
verification.

If any NICs start support UDP-Lite this would also start working
automatically.

This patch removes the assumption that msg_flags has MSG_TRUNC clear
upon entry in recvmsg.

95c385b4d5 [IPV6] ADDRCONF: Optimistic Duplicate Address Detection (RFC 4429) Support.
Nominally an autoconfigured IPv6 address is added to an interface in the
Tentative state (as per RFC 2462).  Addresses in this state remain in this
state while the Duplicate Address Detection process operates on them to
determine their uniqueness on the network.  During this period, these
tentative addresses may not be used for communication, increasing the time
before a node may be able to communicate on a network.  Using Optimistic
Duplicate Address Detection, autoconfigured addresses may be used
immediately for communication on the network, as long as certain rules are
followed to avoid conflicts with other nodes during the Duplicate Address
Detection process.

b7aa0bf70c [NET]: convert network timestamps to ktime_t
We currently use a special structure (struct skb_timeval) and plain
'struct timeval' to store packet timestamps in sk_buffs and struct
sock.

This has some drawbacks :
- Fixed resolution of micro second.
- Waste of space on 64bit platforms where sizeof(struct timeval)=16

I suggest using ktime_t that is a nice abstraction of high resolution
time services, currently capable of nanosecond resolution.

As sizeof(ktime_t) is 8 bytes, using ktime_t in 'struct sock' permits
a 8 byte shrink of this structure on 64bit architectures. Some other
structures also benefit from this size reduction (struct ipq in
ipv4/ip_fragment.c, struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c, ...)

Once this ktime infrastructure adopted, we can more easily provide
nanosecond resolution on top of it. (ioctl SIOCGSTAMPNS and/or
SO_TIMESTAMPNS/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS)

Note : this patch includes a bug correction in
compat_sock_get_timestamp() where a "err = 0;" was missing (so this
syscall returned -ENOENT instead of 0)

3cfe3baaf0 [TCP]: Add two new spurious RTO responses to FRTO
New sysctl tcp_frto_response is added to select amongst these
responses:
	- Rate halving based; reuses CA_CWR state (default)
	- Very conservative; used to be the only one available (=1)
	- Undo cwr; undoes ssthresh and cwnd reductions (=2)

The response with rate halving requires a new parameter to
tcp_enter_cwr because FRTO has already reduced ssthresh and
doing a second reduction there has to be prevented. In addition,
to keep things nice on 80 cols screen, a local variable was
added.

54287cc178 [TCP]: Keep copied_seq, rcv_wup and rcv_next together.
I noticed in oprofile study a cache miss in tcp_rcv_established() to read
copied_seq.

ffffffff80400a80 <tcp_rcv_established>: /* tcp_rcv_established total: 4034293  
2.0400 */

 55493  0.0281 :ffffffff80400bc9:   mov    0x4c8(%r12),%eax copied_seq
543103  0.2746 :ffffffff80400bd1:   cmp    0x3e0(%r12),%eax   rcv_nxt    

if (tp->copied_seq == tp->rcv_nxt &&
        len - tcp_header_len <= tp->ucopy.len) {

In this function, the cache line 0x4c0 -> 0x500 is used only for this
reading 'copied_seq' field.

rcv_wup and copied_seq should be next to rcv_nxt field, to lower number of
active cache lines in hot paths. (tcp_rcv_established(), tcp_poll(), ...)

As you suggested, I changed tcp_create_openreq_child() so that these fields
are changed together, to avoid adding a new store buffer stall.

Patch is 64bit friendly (no new hole because of alignment constraints)

We broke the the alignment of members of taskstats to the 8 byte boundary

not suitable for use by 32 bit applications in a 64 bit kernel.

        252,    # cancelled_write_bytes
    );

This is one way to solve the problem without re-arranging structure members
is to pack the structure.  The patch adds an __attribute__((aligned(8))) to
the taskstats structure members so that 32 bit applications using taskstats
can work with a 64 bit kernel.

Using __attribute__((packed)) would break the 64 bit alignment of members.

The fix was tested on x86_64. After the fix, we got

This is not a deadlock actually, as neighbor table's proxy_queue
and the neighbor's arp_queue are different queues.

Lockdep thinks there is a deadlock as both queues are initialized
with skb_queue_head_init() and thus have a common class.

schedule a new writeback by making nfs_set_page_writeback() return the
value of test_set_page_writeback().
The PG_writeback page flag ends up replacing the functionality of the
PG_FLUSHING nfs_page flag, so we rip that out too.

713c8aad6b USB HID: numlock quirk for dell W7658 keyboard
On Dell W7658 keyboard, when BIOS sets NumLock LED on, it survives the
takeover by kernel and thus confuses users.

Eating of an increasibly scarce quirk bit is unfortunate. We do it for safety,
given the history of nervous input devices which crash if anything unusual

23450319e2 ide: correctly prevent IDE timer expiry function to run if request was already handled
It is possible for the timer expiry function to run even though the
request has already been handled: ide_timer_expiry() only checks that
the handler is not NULL, but it is possible that we have handled a
request (thus clearing the handler) and then started a new request
(thus starting the timer again, and setting a handler). 

A simple way to exhibit this is to set the DMA timeout to 1 jiffy and
run dd: The kernel will panic after a few minutes because
ide_timer_expiry() tries to add a timer when it's already active.

To fix this, we simply add a request generation count that gets
incremented at every interrupt, and check in ide_timer_expiry() that
we have not already handled a new interrupt before running the expiry
function.

driver to hang during the resume.

The problem occurs since the microcode driver uses request_firmware() in

hangs.  It can be fixed by telling the microcode driver to use the
microcode stored in memory during the resume instead of trying to load it

513daadd15 ide: use correct IDE error recovery
IDE error recovery is using IDLE IMMEDIATE if the drive is busy or has DRQ set.
This violates the ATA spec (can only send IDLE IMMEDIATE when drive is not
busy) and really hoses up some drives (modern drives will not be able to
recover using this error handling).  The correct thing to do is issue a SRST
followed by a SET FEATURES command.  This is what Western Digital recommends
for error recovery and what Western Digital says Windows does.  It also does
not violate the ATA spec as far as I can tell.

Bart:
* port the patch over the current tree
* undo the recalibration code removal
* send SET FEATURES command after checking for good drive status
* don't check whether the current request is of REQ_TYPE_ATA_{CMD,TASK}
  type because we need to send SET FEATURES before handling any requests
* some pre-ATA4 drives require INITIALIZE DEVICE PARAMETERS command before
  other commands (except IDENTIFY) so send SET FEATURES only if there are
  no pending drive->special requests
* update comments and patch description
* any bugs introduced by this patch are mine and not Suleiman's :-)

unable to do IO in their remove method.  The shutdown flag should have been
able to prevent a segfault, but was never getting set.  By waiting to
destroy the workqueue until after the master is unregistered, devices are
able to do IO in their remove methods.  An added benefit is that neither
the shutdown flag nor a wait for the queue of messages to empty is needed.

Two attribute methods are converted to use the new helper routine: one
for SCSI device deletion and one for System/390 ccwgroup devices.

9f35575dfc [PATCH] pci: Repair pci_save/restore_state so we can restore one save many times.
Because we do not reserve space for the pci-x and pci-e state in struct
pci dev we need to dynamically allocate it.  However because we need
to support restore being called multiple times after a single save
it is never safe to free the buffers we have allocated to hold the
state.

So this patch modifies the save routines to first check to see
if we have already allocated a state buffer before allocating
a new one.  Then the restore routines are modified to not free
the state after restoring it.  Simple and it fixes some subtle
error path handling bugs, that are hard to test for.

392ee1e6dd [PATCH] msi: Safer state caching.
There are two ways pci_save_state and pci_restore_state are used.  As
helper functions during suspend/resume, and as helper functions around
a hardware reset event.  When used as helper functions around a hardware
reset event there is no reason to believe the calls will be paired, nor
is there a good reason to believe that if we restore the msi state from
before the reset that it will match the current msi state.  Since arch
code may change the msi message without going through the driver, drivers
currently do not have enough information to even know when to call
pci_save_state to ensure they will have msi state in sync with the other
kernel irq reception data structures.

It turns out the solution is straight forward, cache the state in the
existing msi data structures (not the magic pci saved things) and
have the msi code update the cached state each time we write to the hardware.
This means we never need to read the hardware to figure out what the hardware
state should be.

By modifying the caching in this manner we get to remove our save_state
routines and only need to provide restore_state routines.

The only fields that were at all tricky to regenerate were the msi and msi-x
control registers and the way we regenerate them currently is a bit dependent
upon assumptions on how we use the allow msi registers to be configured and used
making the code a little bit brittle.  If we ever change what cases we allow
or how we configure the msi bits we can address the fragility then.

f6dfb4fd7d [PATCH] Add epoll compat_ code to fs/compat.c
IA64 and ARM-OABI are currently using their own version of epoll compat_
code.

An architecture needs epoll_event translation if alignof(u64) in 32 bit
mode is different from alignof(u64) in 64 bit mode.  If an architecture
needs epoll_event translation, it must define struct compat_epoll_event in
asm/compat.h and set CONFIG_HAVE_COMPAT_EPOLL_EVENT and use
compat_sys_epoll_ctl and compat_sys_epoll_wait.

All 64 bit architecture should use compat_sys_epoll_pwait.

[sfr: restructure and move to fs/compat.c, remove MIPS version
of compat_sys_epoll_pwait, use __put_user_unaligned]

1f92267c51 [MTD] [NAND] make oobavail public
During the MTD rework the oobavail parameter of mtd_info structure has become
private. This is not quite correct in terms of integrity and logic. If we have
means to write to OOB area, then we'd like to know upfront how many bytes out
of OOB are spare per page to be able to adapt to specific cases.
The patch inlined adds the public oobavail parameter.

cda1fd4abd [PATCH] knfsd: fix recently introduced problem with shutting down a busy NFS server
When the last thread of nfsd exits, it shuts down all related sockets.  It
currently uses svc_close_socket to do this, but that only is immediately
effective if the socket is not SK_BUSY.

If the socket is busy - i.e.  if a request has arrived that has not yet been
processes - svc_close_socket is not effective and the shutdown process spins.

So create a new svc_force_close_socket which removes the SK_BUSY flag is set
and then calls svc_close_socket.

Also change some open-codes loops in svc_destroy to use
list_for_each_entry_safe.
