2007-10-16eCryptfs: convert mmap functions to use persistent fileMichael Halcrow

2007-10-16eCryptfs: make open, truncate, and setattr use persistent fileMichael Halcrow
Rather than open a new lower file for every eCryptfs file that is opened, truncated, or setattr'd, instead use the existing lower persistent file for the eCryptfs inode. Change truncate to use read_write.c functions. Change ecryptfs_getxattr() to use the common ecryptfs_getxattr_lower() function.

2007-10-16eCryptfs: update metadata read/write functionsMichael Halcrow
Update the metadata read/write functions and grow_file() to use the read_write.c routines. Do not open another lower file; use the persistent lower file instead. Provide a separate function for crypto.c::ecryptfs_read_xattr_region() to get to the lower xattr without having to go through the eCryptfs getxattr.

2007-10-16eCryptfs: read_write.c routinesMichael Halcrow
Add a set of functions through which all I/O to lower files is consolidated. This patch adds a new inode_info reference to a persistent lower file for each eCryptfs inode; another patch later in this series will set that up. This persistent lower file is what the read_write.c functions use to call vfs_read() and vfs_write() on the lower filesystem, so even when reads and writes come in through aops->readpage and aops->writepage, we can satisfy them without resorting to direct access to the lower inode's address space. Several function declarations are going to be changing with this patchset. For now, in order to keep from breaking the build, I am putting dummy parameters in for those functions.

2007-10-16eCryptfs: Use generic_file_splice_read()Michael Halcrow
eCryptfs is currently just passing through splice reads to the lower filesystem. This is obviously incorrect behavior; the decrypted data is what needs to be read, not the lower encrypted data. I cannot think of any good reason for eCryptfs to implement splice_read, so this patch points the eCryptfs fops splice_read to use generic_file_splice_read.

2007-10-16eCryptfs: fix Tag 11 writing codeMichael Halcrow
Fix up the Tag 11 writing code to handle size limits and boundaries more explicitly. It looks like the packet length was 1 shorter than it should have been, chopping off the last byte of the key identifier. This is largely inconsequential, since it is not much more likely that a key identifier collision will occur with 7 bytes rather than 8. This patch fixes the packet to use the full number of bytes that were originally intended to be used for the key identifier.

2007-10-16eCryptfs: add key list structure; search keyringMichael Halcrow
Add support structures for handling multiple keys. The list in crypt_stat contains the key identifiers for all of the keys that should be used for encrypting each file's File Encryption Key (FEK). For now, each inode inherits this list from the mount-wide crypt_stat struct, via the ecryptfs_copy_mount_wide_sigs_to_inode_sigs() function. This patch also removes the global key tfm from the mount-wide crypt_stat struct, instead keeping a list of tfm's meant for dealing with the various inode FEK's. eCryptfs will now search the user's keyring for FEK's parsed from the existing file metadata, so the user can make keys available at any time before or after mounting. Now that multiple FEK packets can be written to the file metadata, we need to be more meticulous about size limits. The updates to the code for writing out packets to the file metadata makes sizes and limits more explicit, uniformly expressed, and (hopefully) easier to follow.

2007-10-16SPI driver runtime footprint shrinkageDavid Brownell
Shrink the runtime footprint of various SPI drivers: - Move the probe() routine into the init section where practical, using platform_driver_probe() to make that safe. This often saves around 1KB. Using platform_driver_probe() can also be a correctness fix, if the probe routine is already marked __init but the driver struct keeps a dangling pointer to it after init section removal. - Likewise move remove() routines into the exit sections. These changes would be inappropriate iff the platform devices were actually hotpluggable (e.g. they're found on optional addon cards, or in an FPGA that's dynamically reprogrammed). In these cases, that's not the situation; it's an SOC controller and the only device is initialized before these drivers.

2007-10-16cpuset: remove sched domain hooks from cpusetsPaul Jackson
Remove the cpuset hooks that defined sched domains depending on the setting of the 'cpu_exclusive' flag. The cpu_exclusive flag can only be set on a child if it is set on the parent. This made that flag painfully unsuitable for use as a flag defining a partitioning of a system. It was entirely unobvious to a cpuset user what partitioning of sched domains they would be causing when they set that one cpu_exclusive bit on one cpuset, because it depended on what CPUs were in the remainder of that cpusets siblings and child cpusets, after subtracting out other cpu_exclusive cpusets. Furthermore, there was no way on production systems to query the result. Using the cpu_exclusive flag for this was simply wrong from the get go. Fortunately, it was sufficiently borked that so far as I know, almost no successful use has been made of this. One real time group did use it to affectively isolate CPUs from any load balancing efforts. They are willing to adapt to alternative mechanisms for this, such as someway to manipulate the list of isolated CPUs on a running system. They can do without this present cpu_exclusive based mechanism while we develop an alternative. There is a real risk, to the best of my understanding, of users accidentally setting up a partitioned scheduler domains, inhibiting desired load balancing across all their CPUs, due to the nonobvious (from the cpuset perspective) side affects of the cpu_exclusive flag. Furthermore, since there was no way on a running system to see what one was doing with sched domains, this change will be invisible to any using code. Unless they have real insight to the scheduler load balancing choices, they will be unable to detect that this change has been made in the kernel's behaviour. Initial discussion on lkml of this patch has generated much comment. My (probably controversial) take on that discussion is that it has reached a rough concensus that the current cpuset cpu_exclusive mechanism for defining sched domains is borked. There is no concensus on the replacement. But since we can remove this mechanism, and since its continued presence risks causing unwanted partitioning of the schedulers load balancing, we should remove it while we can, as we proceed to work the replacement scheduler domain mechanisms.

2007-10-16DCA: Add Direct Cache Access driverShannon Nelson
Direct Cache Access (DCA) is a method for warming the CPU cache before data is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses. This patch adds a manager and interface for matching up client requests for DCA services with devices that offer DCA services. In order to use DCA, a module must do bus writes with the appropriate tag bits set to trigger a cache read for a specific CPU. However, different CPUs and chipsets can require different sets of tag bits, and the methods for determining the correct bits may be simple hardcoding or may be a hardware specific magic incantation. This interface is a way for DCA clients to find the correct tag bits for the targeted CPU without needing to know the specifics.

2007-10-16uml: definitively kill subprocesses on panicLepton Wu
In a stock 2.6.22.6 kernel, poweroff a user mode linux guest (2.6.22.6 running in skas0 mode) will halt the host linux. I think the reason is the kernel thread abort because of a bug. Then the sys_reboot in process of user mode linux guest is not trapped by the user mode linux kernel and is executed by host. I think it is better to make sure all of our children process to quit when user mode linux kernel abort. [ jdike - the kernel process needs to ignore SIGTERM, plus the waitpid/kill loop is needed to make sure that all of our children are dead before the kernel exits ] Signed-off-by: Lepton Wu <ytht.net@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
