2006-09-29[PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem)Atsushi Nemoto
Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change. Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky. This cleanup make a barrier added by 5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes it. As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really remove wall_jiffies. It would be another cleanup patch) Signed-off-by: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "Eric W.

2006-09-29[PATCH] I/O Error attempting to read last partial block of a file in an ↵Joel & Rebecca VanderZee
ISO9660 file system There was an I/O error that prevented reading the last partial block of large files in an ISO9660 filesystem. The error was generated when a file comprised more than one section and had a size that was not an exact multiple of the filesystem block size. This patch removes the check (and failure) for reading into the last partial block (and possibly beyond) for multiple-section files. It worked in my testing to prevent reading beyond the end of the section; my first patch just incremented the sect_size block count for a partial block and continued doing the check. But there is a commment in the source code about reading beyond the end of the file to fill a page cache. Failing to access beyond the section would prevent reading beyond the end of the file.

2006-09-29[PATCH] posix-timers: Fix the flags handling in posix_cpu_nsleep()Toyo Abe
When a posix_cpu_nsleep() sleep is interrupted by a signal more than twice, it incorrectly reports the sleep time remaining to the user. Because posix_cpu_nsleep() doesn't report back to the user when it's called from restart function due to the wrong flags handling. This patch, which applies after previous one, moves the nanosleep() function from posix_cpu_nsleep() to do_cpu_nanosleep() and cleans up the flags handling appropriately.

2006-09-29[PATCH] posix-timers: Fix clock_nanosleep() doesn't return the remaining ↵Toyo Abe
time in compatibility mode The clock_nanosleep() function does not return the time remaining when the sleep is interrupted by a signal. This patch creates a new call out, compat_clock_nanosleep_restart(), which handles returning the remaining time after a sleep is interrupted. This patch revives clock_nanosleep_restart(). It is now accessed via the new call out. The compat_clock_nanosleep_restart() is used for compatibility access. Since this is implemented in compatibility mode the normal path is virtually unaffected - no real performance impact.

2006-09-29[PATCH] fix wrong error code on interrupted close syscallsErnie Petrides
The problem is that close() syscalls can call a file system's flush handler, which in turn might sleep interruptibly and ultimately pass back an -ERESTARTSYS return value. This happens for files backed by an interruptible NFS mount under nfs_file_flush() when a large file has just been written and nfs_wait_bit_interruptible() detects that there is a signal pending. I have a test case where the "strace" command is used to attach to a process sleeping in such a close(). Since the SIGSTOP is forced onto the victim process (removing it from the thread's "blocked" mask in force_sig_info()), the RPC wait is interrupted and the close() is terminated early. But the file table entry has already been cleared before the flush handler was called. Thus, when the syscall is restarted, the file descriptor appears closed and an EBADF error is returned (which is wrong). What's worse, there is the hypothetical case where another thread of a multi-threaded application might have reused the file descriptor, in which case that file would be mistakenly closed. The bottom line is that close() syscalls are not restartable, and thus -ERESTARTSYS return values should be mapped to -EINTR. This is consistent with the close(2) manual page. The fix is below.

2006-09-29[PATCH] memory ordering in __kfifo primitivesPaul E. McKenney
Both __kfifo_put() and __kfifo_get() have header comments stating that if there is but one concurrent reader and one concurrent writer, locking is not necessary. This is almost the case, but a couple of memory barriers are needed. Another option would be to change the header comments to remove the bit about locking not being needed, and to change the those callers who currently don't use locking to add the required locking. The attachment analyzes this approach, but the patch below seems simpler. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2006-09-29[PATCH] Chardev checking of overlapping rangesAmos Waterland
The code in __register_chrdev_region checks that if the driver wishing to register has the same major as an existing driver the new minor range is strictly less than the existing minor range. However, it does not also check that the new minor range is strictly greater than the existing minor range. That is, if driver X has registered with major=x and minor=0-3, __register_chrdev_region will allow driver Y to register with major=x and minor=1-4.

2006-09-29[PATCH] pidspace: is_init()Sukadev Bhattiprolu
This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-09-29[PATCH] tty locking on resizeAlan Cox
The current kernel serializes console resizes but does not serialize the resize against the tty structure updates. This means that while two parallel resizes cannot mess up the console you can get incorrect results reported. Secondly while doing this I added vc_lock_resize() to lock and resize the console. This leaves all knowledge of the console_sem in the vt/console driver and kicks it out of the tty layer, which is good Thirdly while doing this I decided I couldn't stand "disallocate" any longer so I switched it to "deallocate".

[assuming BSD security levels are deleted] The only user of i_security, f_security, s_security fields is SELinux, however, quite a few security modules are trying to get into kernel. So, wrap them under CONFIG_SECURITY. Adding config option for each security field is likely an overkill. Following Stephen Smalley's suggestion, i_security initialization is moved to security_inode_alloc() to not clutter core code with ifdefs and make alloc_inode() codepath tiny little bit smaller and faster. The user of (highly greppable) struct fown_struct::security field is still to be found. I've checked every "fown_struct" and every "f_owner" occurence. Additionally it's removal doesn't break i386 allmodconfig build. struct inode, struct file, struct super_block, struct fown_struct become smaller. P.S.

2006-09-29[PATCH] Fix reiserfs latencies caused by data=orderedChris Mason
ReiserFS does periodic cleanup of old transactions in order to limit the length of time a journal replay may take after a crash. Sometimes, writing metadata from an old (already committed) transaction may require committing a newer transaction, which also requires writing all data=ordered buffers. This can cause very long stalls on journal_begin. This patch makes sure new transactions will not need to be committed before trying a periodic reclaim of an old transaction. It is low risk because if a bad decision is made, it just means a slightly longer journal replay after a crash.

Malformed utf-8 sequences are represented as sequences of replacement glyphs,original codes or '?' as a last resort. unicode-xterm, gnome-terminal, kconsole and other terminal emulators in utf-8 mode respect acsc, enacs, rmacs sequences. Also I found that some important system programs (from Debian distro) uses acsc in utf-8 mode - dselect, aptitude, w3m for example.

2006-09-29[PATCH] single bit flip detectorDave Jones
In cases where we detect a single bit has been flipped, we spew the usual slab corruption message, which users instantly think is a kernel bug. In a lot of cases, single bit errors are down to bad memory, or other hardware failure. This patch adds an extra line to the slab debug messages in those cases, in the hope that users will try memtest before they report a bug. 000: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6a 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b Single bit error detected. Possibly bad RAM. Run memtest86. [akpm@osdl.org: cleanups] Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-09-29[PATCH] LSM: remove BSD secure level security moduleChris Wright
This code has suffered from broken core design and lack of developer attention. Broken security modules are too dangerous to leave around. It is time to remove this one.

2006-09-29[PATCH] Use valid_dma_direction() in include/asm-i386/dma-mapping.hRolf Eike Beer
Now that the generic DMA code has a function to decide if a given DMA mapping is valid use it. This will catch cases where direction is not any of the defined enum values but some random number outside the valid range. The current implementation will only catch the defined but invalid case DMA_NONE.
