2007-02-11[PATCH] uml: add per-device queues and locks to ubd driverJeff Dike
Replace global queue and lock with per-device queues and locks. Mostly a straightforward replacement of ubd_io_lock with dev->lock and ubd_queue with dev->queue. Complications - There was no way to get a request struct (and queue) from the structure sent to the io_thread, so a pointer to the request was added. This is needed in ubd_handler in order to kick do_ubd_request to process another request. Queue initialization is moved from ubd_init to ubd_add.

2007-02-11[PATCH] uml: console locking commentary and code cleanupJeff Dike
Remove the last vestiges of devfs from console registration. Change the name of the function, plus remove a couple of unused fields from the line_driver structure. struct lines is no longer needed, all traces of it are gone. The only way that I can see to mark a structure as being almost-const is to individually const the fields. This is the case for the line_driver structure, which has only one modifiable field - a list_head in a sub-structure.

The registration of host network transports needed some locking. The transport list itself is locked, but calls to the registration routines are not.

2007-02-11[PATCH] uml: return hotplug errors to hostJeff Dike
I noticed that errors happening while hotplugging devices from the host were never returned back to the mconsole client. In some cases, success was returned instead of even an information-free error. This patch cleans that up by having the low-level configuration code pass back an error string along with an error code. At the top level, which knows whether it is early boot time or responding to an mconsole request, the string is printk'd or returned to the mconsole client. There are also whitespace and trivial code cleanups in the surrounding code.

2007-02-11[PATCH] uml: console locking fixesJeff Dike
Clean up the console driver locking. There are various problems here, including sleeping under a spinlock and spinlock recursion, some of which are fixed here. This patch deals with the locking involved with opens and closes. The problem is that an mconsole request to change a console's configuration can race with an open. Changing a configuration should only be done when a console isn't opened. Also, an open must be looking at a stable configuration. In addition, a get configuration request must observe the same locking since it must also see a stable configuration. With the old locking, it was possible for this to hang indefinitely in some cases because open would block for a long time waiting for a connection from the host while holding the lock needed by the mconsole request. As explained in the long comment, this is fixed by adding a spinlock for the use count and configuration and a mutex for the actual open and close.

2006-10-31[PATCH] uml ubd driver: ubd_io_lock usage fixupPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Add some comments about requirements for ubd_io_lock and expand its use. When an irq signals that the "controller" (i.e. another thread on the host, which does the actual requests and is the only one blocked on I/O on the host) has done some work, we call again the request function ourselves (do_ubd_request). We now do that with ubd_io_lock held - that's useful to protect against concurrent calls to elv_next_request and so on. XXX: Maybe we shouldn't call at all the request function. Input needed on this. Are we supposed to plug and unplug the queue? That code "indirectly" does that by setting a flag, called do_ubd, which makes the request function return (it's a residual of 2.4 block layer interface). Meanwhile, however, merge this patch, which improves things.

Shouldn't allow stop from mconsole_stop(). * stop/stop/go leaves us inside mconsole_stop() with os_set_fd_block(req->originating_fd, 0); reactivate_fd(req->originating_fd, MCONSOLE_IRQ); just done by nested mconsole_stop(). Ditto. * once we'd seen stop, there's a period when INTR commands are executed out of order (as they should; we might have the things stuck badly enough to never reach mconsole_stop(), but still not badly enough to block mconsole_interrupt(); in that situation we _want_ things like "cad" to be executed immediately). Once we enter monsole_stop(), all INTR commands will be executed in order, mixed with PROC ones. We'd better let user see that such change of behaviour has happened. (Suggested by lennert). * stack footprint of monsole_interrupt() is an atrocity; AFAICS we can safely make struct mc_request req; static in function there.

2006-10-03Attack of "the the"s in archMatt LaPlante
The patch below corrects multiple occurances of "the the" typos across several files, both in source comments and KConfig files. There is no actual code changed, only text. Note this only affects the /arch directory, and I believe I could find many more elsewhere. :) Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>
