2007-07-16Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entriesAlexey Dobriyan
Fix following races: =========================================== 1. Write via ->write_proc sleeps in copy_from_user(). Module disappears meanwhile. Or, more generically, system call done on /proc file, method supplied by module is called, module dissapeares meanwhile. pde = create_proc_entry() if (!pde) return -ENOMEM; pde->write_proc = ... open write copy_from_user pde = create_proc_entry(); if (!pde) { remove_proc_entry(); return -ENOMEM; /* module unloaded */ } *boom* ========================================== 2. bogo-revoke aka proc_kill_inodes() remove_proc_entry vfs_read proc_kill_inodes [check ->f_op validness] [check ->f_op->read validness] [verify_area, security permissions checks] ->f_op = NULL; if (file->f_op->read) /* ->f_op dereference, boom */ NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: file_operations are proxied for regular files only. Let's see how this scheme behaves, then extend if needed for directories. Directories creators in /proc only set ->owner for them, so proxying for directories may be unneeded. NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: methods being proxied are ->llseek, ->read, ->write, ->poll, ->unlocked_ioctl, ->ioctl, ->compat_ioctl, ->open, ->release. If your in-tree module uses something else, yell on me.

COWed devices can't handle more than 32 (64 on x86_64) sectors in one request due to the size of the bitmap being carried around in the io_thread_req.

2007-07-16uml: Eliminate kernel allocator wrappersJeff Dike
UML had two wrapper procedures for kmalloc, um_kmalloc and um_kmalloc_atomic because the flag constants weren't available in userspace code. kern_constants.h had made kernel constants available for a long time, so there is no need for these wrappers any more. Rather, userspace code calls kmalloc directly with the userspace versions of the gfp flags. kmalloc isn't a real procedure, so I had to essentially copy the inline wrapper around __kmalloc. vmalloc also had its own wrapper for no good reason. This is now gone.

2007-07-16uml: simplify helper stack handlingJeff Dike
run_helper and run_helper_thread had arguments which were the same in all callers. run_helper's stack_out was always NULL and run_helper_thread's stack_order was always 0. These are now gone, and the constants folded into the code. Also fixed leaks of the helper stack in the AIO and SIGIO code.

2007-07-16uml: SIGIO support cleanupJeff Dike
Cleanup of the SIGWINCH support. Some code and comment reformatting. The stack used for SIGWINCH threads was leaked. This is now fixed by storing it with the pid and other information, and freeing it when the thread is killed. If something goes wrong with a WIGWINCH thread, and this is discovered in the interrupt handler, the winch record would leak. It is now freed, except that the IRQ isn't freed. This is hard to do from interrupt context. This has the side-effect that the IRQ system maintains a reference to the freed structure, but that shouldn't cause a problem since the descriptor is disabled. register_winch_irq is now much better about cleaning up after an initialization failure.

2007-07-16uml: handle errors on opening host side of consolesJeff Dike
If the host side of a console can't be opened, this will now produce visible error messages. enable_chan now returns a status and this is passed up to con_open and ssl_open, which will complain if anything went wrong. The default host device for the serial line driver is now a pts device rather than a pty device since lots of hosts have LEGACY_PTYS disabled. This had always been failing on such hosts, but silently.

2007-07-16uml: DEBUG_SHIRQ fixesEduard-Gabriel Munteanu
DEBUG_SHIRQ generates spurious interrupts, triggering handlers such as mconsole_interrupt() or line_interrupt(). They expect data to be available to be read from their sockets/pipes, but in the case of spurious interrupts, the host didn't actually send anything, so UML hangs in read() and friends.

2007-07-16uml: fix request->sector updateJeff Dike
It is theoretically possible for a request to finish and be freed between writing it to the I/O thread and updating the sector count. In this case, the update will dereference a freed pointer. To avoid this, I delay the update until processing the next sg segment, when the request pointer is known to be good.

2007-07-16slob: initial NUMA supportPaul Mundt
This adds preliminary NUMA support to SLOB, primarily aimed at systems with small nodes (tested all the way down to a 128kB SRAM block), whether asymmetric or otherwise. We follow the same conventions as SLAB/SLUB, preferring current node placement for new pages, or with explicit placement, if a node has been specified. Presently on UP NUMA this has the side-effect of preferring node#0 allocations (since numa_node_id() == 0, though this could be reworked if we could hand off a pfn to determine node placement), so single-CPU NUMA systems will want to place smaller nodes further out in terms of node id. Once a page has been bound to a node (via explicit node id typing), we only do block allocations from partial free pages that have a matching node id in the page flags. The current implementation does have some scalability problems, in that all partial free pages are tracked in the global freelist (with contention due to the single spinlock). However, these are things that are being reworked for SMP scalability first, while things like per-node freelists can easily be built on top of this sort of functionality once it's been added. More background can be found in: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=118117916022379&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=118170446306199&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=118187859420048&w=2 and subsequent threads.
