Switch the MAINTAINERS email address format from
P: Linus Torvalds
M: torvalds@linux-foundation.org
to
M: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Mainly to ease the copy-n-pasting of maitnainer addresses into email clients.
The script to perform this operation:
#! /bin/sh
#
# Change MAINTAINERS from
# P: name
# M: address
# to:
# M: name <address>
#
# Integrate P: and M: lines
#
perl -i -e 'local $/; while(<>) { s@P: ([^\n]+)\nM: ([^\n]+)\n@M: \1 <\2>\n@g; print; }' MAINTAINERS
#
# Quote names with periods, commas and parentheses
#
sed -r -i -e "s/^M: (.+)([\.,'\(])(.*) </M: \"\1\2\3\" </g" MAINTAINERS

Don't require a specific file in a directory to be tested.
Also Arnd Bergmann pointed out that the MAINTAINERS pattern requirement
that directory patterns have a trailing slash was unnecessary and was
likely to be error prone. Removed that requirement.

Once a structure goes over PAGE_SIZE*2, we see occasional allocation
failures. Some people have chosen to switch over to things like vmalloc()
that will let them keep array-like access to such a large structures.
But, vmalloc() has plenty of downsides.
Here's an alternative. I think it's what Andrew was suggesting here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/2/518
I call it a flexible array. It does all of its work in PAGE_SIZE bits, so
never does an order>0 allocation. The base level has
PAGE_SIZE-2*sizeof(int) bytes of storage for pointers to the second level.
So, with a 32-bit arch, you get about 4MB (4183112 bytes) of total
storage when the objects pack nicely into a page. It is half that on
64-bit because the pointers are twice the size. There's a table detailing
this in the code.
There are kerneldocs for the functions, but here's an
overview:
flex_array_alloc() - dynamically allocate a base structure
flex_array_free() - free the array and all of the
second-level pages
flex_array_free_parts() - free the second-level pages, but
not the base (for static bases)
flex_array_put() - copy into the array at the given index
flex_array_get() - copy out of the array at the given index
flex_array_prealloc() - preallocate the second-level pages
between the given indexes to
guarantee no allocs will occur at
put() time.
We could also potentially just pass the "element_size" into each of the
API functions instead of storing it internally. That would get us one
more base pointer on 32-bit.
I've been testing this by running it in userspace. The header and patch
that I've been using are here, as well as the little script I'm using to
generate the size table which goes in the kerneldocs.

Since commit 8dfd0374be84793360db7fff2e635d2cd3bbcb21 ("MMC core: limit
minimum initialization frequency to 400kHz") MMC core checks for minimum
frequency, and that causes following messages flood when using eSDHC
controllers:
...
mmc0: Minimum clock frequency too high for identification mode
mmc0: Minimum clock frequency too high for identification mode
...
The warnings are legitimate, since if we'd use 133 MHz clocks for standard
SDHCI controllers, we'd not able to scale frequency down to 400 kHz.
But eSDHC controllers have a non-standard SD clock management, so we can
divide clock by 256 * 16, not just 256.
This patch introduces get_min_clock() callback for sdhci core and
implements it for sdhci-of driver, and thus fixes the issue.

commit d6580a9f15238b87e618310c862231ae3f352d2d ("kexec: sysrq: simplify
sysrq-c handler") changed the behavior of sysrq-c to unconditional
dereference of NULL pointer. So in cases with CONFIG_KEXEC, where
crash_kexec() was directly called from sysrq-c before, now it can be said
that a step of "real oops" was inserted before starting kdump.
However, in contrast to oops via SysRq-c from keyboard which results in
panic due to in_interrupt(), oops via "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger" will
not become panic unless panic_on_oops=1. It means that even if dump is
properly configured to be taken on panic, the sysrq-c from proc interface
might not start crashdump while the sysrq-c from keyboard can start
crashdump. This confuses traditional users of kdump, i.e. people who
expect sysrq-c to do common behavior in both of the keyboard and proc
interface.
This patch brings the keyboard and proc interface behavior of sysrq-c in
line, by forcing panic_on_oops=1 before oops in sysrq-c handler.
And some updates in documentation are included, to clarify that there is
no longer dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC, and that now the system can just
crash by sysrq-c if no dump mechanism is configured.

__GFP_NOWARN
The page allocator warns once when an order >= MAX_ORDER is specified.
This is to catch callers of the allocator that are always falling back to
their worst-case when it was not expected. However, there are cases where
the caller is behaving correctly but cannot suppress the warning. This
patch allows the warning to be suppressed by the callers by specifying
__GFP_NOWARN.

After commit ec64f51545fffbc4cb968f0cea56341a4b07e85a ("cgroup: fix
frequent -EBUSY at rmdir"), cgroup's rmdir (especially against memcg)
doesn't return -EBUSY by temporary ref counts. That commit expects all
refs after pre_destroy() is temporary but...it wasn't. Then, rmdir can
wait permanently. This patch tries to fix that and change followings.
- set CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag before pre_destroy().
- clear CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag when the subsys finds racy case.
if there are sleeping ones, wakes them up.
- rmdir() sleeps only when CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag is set.

Under certain circumstances msleep(1) within the loop, which waits for the
EEPROM to be finished, might take longer than the timeout. On the next
loop the status register might now return to be ready and therefore the
loop finishes. The following check now tests if a timeout occurred and if
so returns an error although the device reported it was ready.
This fix replaces testing the occurrence of the timeout by testing the
"not ready" bit in the status register.

The bug was introduced by commit cc31edceee04a7b87f2be48f9489ebb72d264844
("cgroups: convert tasks file to use a seq_file with shared pid array").
We cache a pid array for all threads that are opening the same "tasks"
file, but the pids in the array are always from the namespace of the
last process that opened the file, so all other threads will read pids
from that namespace instead of their own namespaces.
To fix it, we maintain a list of pid arrays, which is keyed by pid_ns.
The list will be of length 1 at most time.

The generic atomic64_t implementation in lib/ did not export the functions
it defined, which means that modules that use atomic64_t would not link on
platforms (such as 32-bit powerpc). For example, trying to build a kernel
with CONFIG_NET_RDS on such a platform would fail with:
ERROR: "atomic64_read" [net/rds/rds.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "atomic64_set" [net/rds/rds.ko] undefined!
Fix this by exporting the atomic64_t functions to modules. (I export the
entire API even if it's not all currently used by in-tree modules to avoid
having to continue fixing this in dribs and drabs)

As reported in Red Hat bz #509671, i_blocks for files on hugetlbfs get
accounting wrong when doing something like:
$ > foo
$ date > foo
date: write error: Invalid argument
$ /usr/bin/stat foo
File: `foo'
Size: 0 Blocks: 18446744073709547520 IO Block: 2097152 regular
...
This is because hugetlb_unreserve_pages() is unconditionally removing
blocks_per_huge_page(h) on each call rather than using the freed amount.
If there were 0 blocks, it goes negative, resulting in the above.
This is a regression from commit a5516438959d90b071ff0a484ce4f3f523dc3152
("hugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page size")
which did:
- inode->i_blocks -= BLOCKS_PER_HUGEPAGE * freed;
+ inode->i_blocks -= blocks_per_huge_page(h);
so just put back the freed multiplier, and it's all happy again.

rtc-cmos has two drivers, one PNP and one platform. When PNP has not
succeeded probing, platform is registered. However, it tries to
unregister both drivers unconditionally, instead of only unregistering
those that were successfully registered. This causes runtime warnings to
be emitted from the driver core code.
Fix this with a boolean variable for each driver indicating whether
registering was successful.

When data is read through DMA, the last element must be read separately
through the RX register. It cannot be transferred by the DMA. For
further details see e.g. OMAP35x TRM (table 19-16).
Without the fix the driver causes extra clocks to be clocked to the bus
after DMA RX operations. This can cause interesting behaviour with some
devices.

If a task is oom killed and still cannot find memory when trying with
no watermarks, it's better to fail the allocation attempt than to loop
endlessly. Direct reclaim has already failed and the oom killer will
be a no-op since current has yet to die, so there is no other
alternative for allocations that are not __GFP_NOFAIL.

Fix a post-2.6.24 performace regression caused by

pages such that repeated callers to the allocator have a strong chance of
getting physically contiguous pages, particularly when external fragmentation
is low. However, of the bulk of the allocations have __GFP_COLD set as they
are due to aio_read() for example, then the PFNs are in reverse PFN order.
This can cause performance degration when used with IO controllers that could
have merged the requests.
This patch attempts to preserve the contiguous ordering of PFNs for users of
__GFP_COLD.

Objects passed to kmemleak_seq_next() have an incremented reference
count (hence not freed) but they may point via object_list.next to
other freed objects. To avoid this, the whole start/next/stop sequence
must be protected by rcu_read_lock().
