8882b39421 Driver core: add device_create_vargs and device_create_drvdata
We want to have the drvdata field set properly when creating the device
as sysfs callbacks can assume it is present and it can race the later
setting of this field.

So, create two new functions, deviec_create_vargs() and
device_create_drvdata() that take this new field.

device_create_drvdata() will go away in 2.6.27 as the drvdata field will
just be moved to the device_create() call as it should be.

6e7045990f HID: split Numlock emulation quirk from HID_QUIRK_APPLE_HAS_FN.
Since 2.6.25 the HID_QUIRK_APPLE_HAS_FN quirk is enabled even for
non-laptop Apple keyboards of the Aluminium series. The USB version of
these don't need Numlock emulation, like the laptop (and Aluminium
Wireless) do, as they have a proper keypad.

This patch splits the Numlock emulation for Apple keyboards in a
different quirk flag, so that it can be enabled for all the keyboards
but the Aluminium USB ones.

If the Numlock emulation is enabled for Aluminium USB keyboards, the
JKL and UIO keys become the numeric pad, and the rest of the keyboard
is disabled, included the key used to disable Numlock.

Additionally, these keyboard should not have a Numlock at all, as the
Numlock key is instead replaced by the 'Clear' key as usual for Apple
USB keyboards.

50af2fa1e1 libata: ignore SIMG4726 config pseudo device
I was hoping ATA_HORKAGE_NODMA | ATA_HORKAGE_SKIP_PM could keep it
happy but no even this doesn't work under certain configurations and
it's not like we can do anything useful with the cofig device anyway.
Replace ATA_HORKAGE_SKIP_PM with ATA_HORKAGE_DISABLE and use it for
the config device.  This makes the device completely ignored by
libata.

bf1bff6fa9 libata: increase PMP register access timeout to 3s
This timeout was set low because previously PMP register access was
done via polling and register access timeouts could stack up.  This is
no longer the case.  One timeout will make all following accesses fail
immediately.

In rare cases both marvell and SIMG PMPs need almost a second.  Bump
it to 3s.

While at it, rename it to SATA_PMP_RW_TIMEOUT.  It's not specific to
SCR access.

02e7452de7 svcrdma: Simplify RDMA_READ deferral buffer management
An NFS_WRITE requires a set of RDMA_READ requests to fetch the write
data from the client. There are two principal pieces of data that
need to be tracked: the list of pages that comprise the completed RPC
and the SGE of dma mapped pages to refer to this list of pages. Previously
this whole bit was managed as a linked list of contexts with the
context containing the page list buried in this list. This patch
simplifies this processing by not keeping a linked list, but rather only
a pionter from the last submitted RDMA_READ's context to the context
that maps the set of pages that describe the RPC.  This significantly
simplifies this code path. SGE contexts are cleaned up inline in the DTO
path instead of at read completion time.

Same goes for linux/atm.h.  The linux/socket.h include there also gets

44c81433e8 per_cpu: fix DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED for modules
Current module loader lookups ".data.percpu" ELF section to perform
per_cpu relocation.  But DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED() uses another
section (".data.percpu.shared_aligned"), currently only handled in
vmlinux.lds, not by module loader.

To correct this problem, instead of adding logic into module loader, or
using at build time a module.lds file for all arches to group
".data.percpu.shared_aligned" into ".data.percpu", just use ".data.percpu"
for modules.

Alignment requirements are correctly handled by ld and module loader.

b32a09db4f add match_strlcpy() us it to make v9fs make uname and remotename parsing more robust
match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure
that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or
forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer.

There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options().  I believe it currently
can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious.

The source string is a substing of the mount options.  The kernel silently
truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero.  See
compat_sys_mount() and do_mount().

The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from
name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX.

We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.  PATH_MAX is 4096.  As far as
I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096.

Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct.  It
doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

78bb6cb9a8 fuse: add flag to turn on big writes
Prior to 2.6.26 fuse only supported single page write requests.  In theory all
fuse filesystem should be able support bigger than 4k writes, as there's
nothing in the API to prevent it.  Unfortunately there's a known case in
NTFS-3G where big writes cause filesystem corruption.  There could also be
other filesystems, where the lack of testing with big write requests would
result in bugs.

To prevent such problems on a kernel upgrade, disable big writes by default,
but let filesystems set a flag to turn it on.

c714a534d8 Make 'cond_resched()' nullification depend on PREEMPT_BKL
Because it's not correct with a non-preemptable BKL and just causes
PREEMPT kernels to have longer latencies than non-PREEMPT ones (which is
obviously not the point of it at all).

Of course, that config option actually got removed as an option earlier,
so for now this basically disables it entirely, but if BKL preemption is
ever resurrected it will be a meaningful optimization.  And in the
meantime, it at least documents the intent of the code, while not doing
the wrong thing.

9404ef0297 Fix up 'need_resched()' definition
We should not go through the task pointer to get at the thread info,
since it's usually cheaper to just access the thread info directly.

So don't make the code look up 'current', when we can just use the
thread info accessor functions directly.  This generally avoids one
level of indirection and tends to work better together with code that
also looks at other thread flags (eg preempt_count).

4951704b4e syncppp: Fix crashes.
The syncppp layer wants a mid-level netdev private pointer.

It was using netdev->priv but that only worked by accident,
and thus this scheme was broken when the device private
allocation strategy changed.

Add a proper mid-layer private pointer for uses like this,
update syncppp and all users, and remove the HDLC_PPP broken

c3921ab715 Add new 'cond_resched_bkl()' helper function
It acts exactly like a regular 'cond_resched()', but will not get
optimized away when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set.

Normal kernel code is already preemptable in the presense of
CONFIG_PREEMPT, so cond_resched() is optimized away (see commit
02b67cc3ba "sched: do not do
cond_resched() when CONFIG_PREEMPT").

But when wanting to conditionally reschedule while holding a lock, you
need to use "cond_sched_lock(lock)", and the new function is the BKL
equivalent of that.

Also make fs/locks.c use it.

60b129d7bf i2c: Match dummy devices by type
As the old driver_name/type matching scheme is going away soon, change
the dummy device mechanism to use the new matching scheme.

This has the downside that dummy i2c clients can no longer choose
their name, they'll all appear as "dummy" in sysfs and in log
messages. I don't think it is a problem in practice though, as there
is little reason to use these i2c clients to log messages.

8e3e076c5a BKL: revert back to the old spinlock implementation
The generic semaphore rewrite had a huge performance regression on AIM7
(and potentially other BKL-heavy benchmarks) because the generic
semaphores had been rewritten to be simple to understand and fair.  The
latter, in particular, turns a semaphore-based BKL implementation into a
mess of scheduling.

The attempt to fix the performance regression failed miserably (see the
previous commit 00b41ec261 'Revert
"semaphore: fix"'), and so for now the simple and sane approach is to
instead just go back to the old spinlock-based BKL implementation that
never had any issues like this.

This patch also has the advantage of being reported to fix the
regression completely according to Yanmin Zhang, unlike the semaphore
hack which still left a couple percentage point regression.

As a spinlock, the BKL obviously has the potential to be a latency
issue, but it's not really any different from any other spinlock in that
respect.  We do want to get rid of the BKL asap, but that has been the
plan for several years.

These days, the biggest users are in the tty layer (open/release in
particular) and Alan holds out some hope:

  "tty release is probably a few months away from getting cured - I'm
   afraid it will almost certainly be the very last user of the BKL in
   tty to get fixed as it depends on everything else being sanely locked."

so while we're not there yet, we do have a plan of action.

ef75d49f11 netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: restrict RTP expect flushing on error to last request
Some Inovaphone PBXs exhibit very stange behaviour: when dialing for
example "123", the device sends INVITE requests for "1", "12" and
"123" back to back.  The first requests will elicit error responses
from the receiver, causing the SIP helper to flush the RTP
expectations even though we might still see a positive response.

Note the sequence number of the last INVITE request that contained a
media description and only flush the expectations when receiving a
negative response for that sequence number.

78ab88f04f libata: improve post-reset device ready test
Some controllers (jmb and inic162x) use 0x77 and 0x7f to indicate that
the device isn't ready yet.  It looks like they use 0xff if device
presence is detected but connection isn't established.  0x77 or 0x7f
after connection is established and use the value from signature FIS
after receiving it.

This patch implements ata_check_ready(), which takes TF status value
and determines whether the port is ready or not considering the above
and other conditions, and use it in @check_ready() functions.  This is
safe as both 0x77 and 0x7f aren't valid ready status value even though
they have BSY bit cleared.

This fixes hot plug detection failures which can be triggered with
certain drives if they aren't already spun up when the data connector
is hot plugged.

Tested on sil, sil24, ahci (jmb/ich), piix and inic162x combined with
eight drives from all major vendors.

e73b65f1db sysfs: build fix
x86.git testing found the following build failure on v2.6.26-rc1:

with the following config:

    http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Sun_May__4_07_09_30_CEST_2008.bad

the reason for the build failure is the duplicate definition of the
sysfs_update_group() inline function in include/linux/sysfs.h.

The duplication was a merge error: it was added via -mm by commit
v2.6.25-7262-g2850699, "sysfs: sysfs_update_group stub for
CONFIG_SYSFS=n" a day before v2.6.26-rc1, but a day before that the same
commit was already merged upstream via the sysfs tree, with commit
v2.6.25-7211-g1cbfb7a.

ae4f8fca40 bridge: forwarding table information for >256 devices
The forwarding table binary interface (my bad choice), only exposes
the port number of the first 8 bits. The bridge code was limited to
256 ports at the time, but now the kernel supports up 1024 ports, so
the upper bits are lost when doing:

   brctl showmacs

The fix is to squeeze the extra bits into small hole left in data
structure, to maintain binary compatiablity.

c45a6816c1 virtio: explicit advertisement of driver features
A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API: in particular, we assume that feature
negotiation is complete once a driver's probe function returns.

There is nothing in the API to require this, however, and even I
didn't notice when it was violated.

So instead, we require the driver to specify what features it supports
in a table, we can then move the feature negotiation into the virtio
core.  The intersection of device and driver features are presented in
a new 'features' bitmap in the struct virtio_device.

Note that this highlights the difference between Linux unsigned-long
bitmaps where each unsigned long is in native endian, and a
straight-forward little-endian array of bytes.

Drivers can still remove feature bits in their probe routine if they
really have to.

API changes:
- dev->config->feature() no longer gets and acks a feature.
- drivers should advertise their features in the 'feature_table' field
- use virtio_has_feature() for extra sanity when checking feature bits

72e61eb40b virtio: change config to guest endian.
A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API, in particular how easy it is to break big
endian machines.

The virtio config space was originally chosen to be little-endian,
because we thought the config might be part of the PCI config space
for virtio_pci.  It's actually a separate mmio region, so that
argument holds little water; as only x86 is currently using the virtio
mechanism, we can change this (but must do so now, before the
impending s390 merge).

API changes:
- __virtio_config_val() just becomes a striaght vdev->config_get() call.

5539ae9613 virtio: finer-grained features for virtio_net
So, we previously had a 'VIRTIO_NET_F_GSO' bit which meant that 'the
host can handle csum offload, and any TSO (v4&v6 incl ECN) or UFO
packets you might want to send.  I thought this was good enough for
Linux, but it actually isn't, since we don't do UFO in software.

So, add separate feature bits for what the host can handle.  Add
equivalent ones for the guest to say what it can handle, because LRO
is coming too (thanks Herbert!).

8147313287 virtio: export more headers to userspace
Rusty,

is there a reason why we dont export the virtio headers for
9p, balloon, console, pci, and virtio_ring? kvm uses make sync,
but I think it is still useful to heave these headers exported
as they might be useful for other userspace tools.

I dont export virtio.h, because it does not seem to have useful
information for userspace and it requires scatterlist.h which is
also not exported. See also my other mail about your "virtio:

1adb0850a1 genirq: reenable a nobody cared disabled irq when a new driver arrives
Uwe Kleine-Koenig has some strange hardware where one of the shared
interrupts can be asserted during boot before the appropriate driver
loads. Requesting the shared irq line from another driver result in a
spurious interrupt storm which finally disables the interrupt line.

I have seen similar behaviour on resume before (the hardware does not
work anymore so I can not verify).

Change the spurious disable logic to increment the disable depth and
mark the interrupt with an extra flag which allows us to reenable the
interrupt when a new driver arrives which requests the same irq
line. In the worst case this will disable the irq again via the
spurious trap, but there is a decent chance that the new driver is the
one which can handle the already asserted interrupt and makes the box
usable again.

Eric Biederman said further: This case also happens on a regular basis
in kdump kernels where we deliberately don't shutdown the hardware
before starting the new kernel.  This patch should reduce the need for
using irqpoll in that situation by a small amount.

time_offset is already a 64bit value but its resolution barely used, so this
makes better use of it by replacing SHIFT_UPDATE with TICK_LENGTH_SHIFT.

Side note: the SHIFT_HZ in SHIFT_UPDATE was incorrect for CONFIG_NO_HZ and the
primary reason for changing time_offset to 64bit to avoid the overflow.

This adds a few more things from the ntp nanokernel related to user space.
It's now possible to select the resolution used of some values via STA_NANO
and the kernel reports in which mode it works (pll/fll).

If some values for adjtimex() are outside the acceptable range, they are now
simply normalized instead of letting the syscall fail.  I removed
MOD_CLKA/MOD_CLKB as the mapping didn't really makes any sense, the kernel
doesn't support setting the clock.

f8bd2258e2 remove div_long_long_rem
x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for
div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that
the divide doesn't overflow.

The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are
signed.  The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and
produces worse code on 64bit archs.

There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few
users to the new API.

2418f4f28f introduce explicit signed/unsigned 64bit divide
The current do_div doesn't explicitly say that it's unsigned and the signed
counterpart is missing, which is e.g.  needed when dealing with time values.

This introduces 64bit signed/unsigned divide functions which also attempts to
cleanup the somewhat awkward calling API, which often requires the use of
temporary variables for the dividend.  To avoid the need for temporary
variables everywhere for the remainder, each divide variant also provides a
version which doesn't return the remainder.

Each architecture can now provide optimized versions of these function,
otherwise generic fallback implementations will be used.

As an example I provided an alternative for the current x86 divide, which
avoids the asm casts and using an union allows gcc to generate better code.
It also avoids the upper divde in a few more cases, where the result is known
(i.e.  upper quotient is zero).

3ac7fe5a4a infrastructure to debug (dynamic) objects
We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the
kernel:

1) freeing of active objects
2) reinitialization of active objects

Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where
we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore.  One problem spot are
kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt
context and usually causes the machine to panic.

While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code
into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause.  This
debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due
to the intrusiveness into the timer code.

The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause
instantly and keep the system operational.

Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug
information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special
knowledge of the bug reporter.

The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to
expose it usually in a full system crash.  Other objects are less explosive,
but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug.

Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a
generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code
and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble.

The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic
objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on
object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is
freed.

The tracked object operations are:
- initializing an object
- adding an object to a subsystem list
- deleting an object from a subsystem list

Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the
subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent
the damage of the operation.  When the sanity check triggers a warning message
and a stack trace is printed.

The list of operations can be extended if the need arises.  For now it's
limited to the requirements of the first user (timers).

The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets.  The hash index is
generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check
on kfree/vfree.  Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a
global lock.

The debug code can be compiled in without being active.  The runtime overhead
is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives.  A kernel command line
option enables the debugging code.

Thanks to Ingo Molnar for review, suggestions and cleanup patches.

fc3ba692a4 mm: Add NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP counter
Fuse will use temporary buffers to write back dirty data from memory mappings
(normal writes are done synchronously).  This is needed, because there cannot
be any guarantee about the time in which a write will complete.

By using temporary buffers, from the MM's point if view the page is written
back immediately.  If the writeout was due to memory pressure, this
effectively migrates data from a full zone to a less full zone.

This patch adds a new counter (NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP) for the number of pages used
as temporary buffers.

because debugfs is initialized in core_initcall().

Update descriptions in ABI documentation.

a42dde0415 mm: bdi: allow setting a maximum for the bdi dirty limit
Add "max_ratio" to /sys/class/bdi.  This indicates the maximum percentage of
the global dirty threshold allocated to this bdi.

[mszeredi@suse.cz]

 - fix parsing in max_ratio_store().
 - export bdi_set_max_ratio() to modules
 - limit bdi_dirty with bdi->max_ratio
 - document new sysfs attribute

189d3c4a94 mm: bdi: allow setting a minimum for the bdi dirty limit
Under normal circumstances each device is given a part of the total write-back
cache that relates to its current avg writeout speed in relation to the other
devices.

min_ratio - allows one to assign a minimum portion of the write-back cache to
a particular device.  This is useful in situations where you might want to
provide a minimum QoS.  (One request for this feature came from flash based
storage people who wanted to avoid writing out at all costs - they of course
needed some pdflush hacks as well)

max_ratio - allows one to assign a maximum portion of the dirty limit to a
particular device.  This is useful in situations where you want to avoid one
device taking all or most of the write-back cache.  Eg.  an NFS mount that is
prone to get stuck, or a FUSE mount which you don't trust to play fair.

Add "min_ratio" to /sys/class/bdi.  This indicates the minimum percentage of
the global dirty threshold allocated to this bdi.

 - fix parsing in min_ratio_store()
 - document new sysfs attribute

cf0ca9fe5d mm: bdi: export BDI attributes in sysfs
Provide a place in sysfs (/sys/class/bdi) for the backing_dev_info object.
This allows us to see and set the various BDI specific variables.

In particular this properly exposes the read-ahead window for all relevant
users and /sys/block/<block>/queue/read_ahead_kb should be deprecated.

With patient help from Kay Sievers and Greg KH

[mszeredi@suse.cz]

 - split off NFS and FUSE changes into separate patches
 - document new sysfs attributes under Documentation/ABI
 - do bdi_class_init as a core_initcall, otherwise the "default" BDI
   won't be initialized
 - remove bdi_init_fmt macro, it's not used very much

caafa43243 pidns: make pid->level and pid_ns->level unsigned
These values represent the nesting level of a namespace and pids living in it,
and it's always non-negative.

Turning this from int to unsigned int saves some space in pid.c (11 bytes on
x86 and 64 on ia64) by letting the compiler optimize the pid_nr_ns a bit.
E.g.  on ia64 this removes the sign extension calls, which compiler adds to
optimize access to pid->nubers[ns->level].
