After examining what was checked in and the code base I discovered that most of 86c0baf123e474b6eb404798926ecf62b426bf3a wasn't necessary anymore.... So here's a patch that reverts the last part of that changeset: Revert part of 86c0baf123e474b6eb404798926ecf62b426bf3a.

2007-05-11libata: ignore EH scheduling during initializationTejun Heo
libata enables SCSI host during ATA host activation which happens after IRQ handler is registered and IRQ is enabled. All ATA ports are in frozen state when IRQ is enabled but frozen ports may raise limited number of IRQs after being frozen - IOW, ->freeze() is not responsible for clearing pending IRQs. During normal operation, the IRQ handler is responsible for clearing spurious IRQs on frozen ports and it usually doesn't require any extra code. Unfortunately, during host initialization, the IRQ handler can end up scheduling EH for a port whose SCSI host isn't initialized yet. This results in OOPS in the SCSI midlayer. This is relatively short window and scheduling EH for probing is the first thing libata does after initialization, so ignoring EH scheduling until initialization is complete solves the problem nicely. This problem was spotted by Berck E. Nash in the following thread. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/519412 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Cc: Berck E.

2007-05-11libata: clean up SFF init messTejun Heo
The intention of using port_mask in SFF init helpers was to eventually support exoctic configurations such as combination of legacy and native port on the same controller. This never became actually necessary and the related code always has been subtly broken one way or the other. Now that new init model is in place, there is no reason to make common helpers capable of handling all corner cases. Exotic cases can simply dealt within LLDs as necessary. This patch removes port_mask handling in SFF init helpers. SFF init helpers don't take n_ports argument and interpret it into port_mask anymore. All information is carried via port_info. n_ports argument is dropped and always two ports are allocated. LLD can tell SFF to skip certain port by marking it dummy. Note that SFF code has been treating unuvailable ports this way for a long time until recent breakage fix from Linus and is consistent with how other drivers handle with unavailable ports. This fixes 1-port legacy host handling still broken after the recent native mode fix and simplifies SFF init logic. The following changes are made... * ata_pci_init_native_host() and ata_init_legacy_host() both now try to initialized whatever they can and mark failed ports dummy. They return 0 if any port is successfully initialized. * ata_pci_prepare_native_host() and ata_pci_init_one() now doesn't take n_ports argument. All info should be specified via port_info array. Always two ports are allocated. * ata_pci_init_bmdma() exported to be used by LLDs in exotic cases. * port_info handling in all LLDs are standardized - all port_info arrays are const stack variable named ppi. Unless the second port is different from the first, its port_info is specified as NULL (tells libata that it's identical to the last non-NULL port_info). * pata_hpt37x/hpt3x2n: don't modify static variable directly. Make an on-stack copy instead as ata_piix does. * pata_uli: It has 4 ports instead of 2. Don't use ata_pci_prepare_native_host(). Allocate the host explicitly and use init helpers. It's simple enough. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2007-05-11signal/timer/event: KAIO eventfd support exampleDavide Libenzi
This is an example about how to add eventfd support to the current KAIO code, in order to enable KAIO to post readiness events to a pollable fd (hence compatible with POSIX select/poll). The KAIO code simply signals the eventfd fd when events are ready, and this triggers a POLLIN in the fd. This patch uses a reserved for future use member of the struct iocb to pass an eventfd file descriptor, that KAIO will use to post events every time a request completes. At that point, an aio_getevents() will return the completed result to a struct io_event. I made a quick test program to verify the patch, and it runs fine here: http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-aio-test.c The test program uses poll(2), but it'd, of course, work with select and epoll too. This can allow to schedule both block I/O and other poll-able devices requests, and wait for results using select/poll/epoll. In a typical scenario, an application would submit KAIO request using aio_submit(), and will also use epoll_ctl() on the whole other class of devices (that with the addition of signals, timers and user events, now it's pretty much complete), and then would: epoll_wait(...); for_each_event { if (curr_event_is_kaiofd) { aio_getevents(); dispatch_aio_events(); } else { dispatch_epoll_event(); } } Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-05-11signal/timer/event: eventfd coreDavide Libenzi
This is a very simple and light file descriptor, that can be used as event wait/dispatch by userspace (both wait and dispatch) and by the kernel (dispatch only). It can be used instead of pipe(2) in all cases where those would simply be used to signal events. Their kernel overhead is much lower than pipes, and they do not consume two fds. When used in the kernel, it can offer an fd-bridge to enable, for example, functionalities like KAIO or syslets/threadlets to signal to an fd the completion of certain operations. But more in general, an eventfd can be used by the kernel to signal readiness, in a POSIX poll/select way, of interfaces that would otherwise be incompatible with it. The API is: int eventfd(unsigned int count); The eventfd API accepts an initial "count" parameter, and returns an eventfd fd. It supports poll(2) (POLLIN, POLLOUT, POLLERR), read(2) and write(2). The POLLIN flag is raised when the internal counter is greater than zero. The POLLOUT flag is raised when at least a value of "1" can be written to the internal counter. The POLLERR flag is raised when an overflow in the counter value is detected. The write(2) operation can never overflow the counter, since it blocks (unless O_NONBLOCK is set, in which case -EAGAIN is returned). But the eventfd_signal() function can do it, since it's supposed to not sleep during its operation. The read(2) function reads the __u64 counter value, and reset the internal value to zero. If the value read is equal to (__u64) -1, an overflow happened on the internal counter (due to 2^64 eventfd_signal() posts that has never been retired - unlickely, but possible). The write(2) call writes an __u64 count value, and adds it to the current counter. The eventfd fd supports O_NONBLOCK also. On the kernel side, we have: struct file *eventfd_fget(int fd); int eventfd_signal(struct file *file, unsigned int n); The eventfd_fget() should be called to get a struct file* from an eventfd fd (this is an fget() + check of f_op being an eventfd fops pointer). The kernel can then call eventfd_signal() every time it wants to post an event to userspace. The eventfd_signal() function can be called from any context. An eventfd() simple test and bench is available here: http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-bench.c This is the eventfd-based version of pipetest-4 (pipe(2) based): http://www.xmailserver.org/pipetest-4.c Not that performance matters much in the eventfd case, but eventfd-bench shows almost as double as performance than pipetest-4.

2007-05-11signal/timer/event: timerfd coreDavide Libenzi
This patch introduces a new system call for timers events delivered though file descriptors. This allows timer event to be used with standard POSIX poll(2), select(2) and read(2). As a consequence of supporting the Linux f_op->poll subsystem, they can be used with epoll(2) too. The system call is defined as: int timerfd(int ufd, int clockid, int flags, const struct itimerspec *utmr); The "ufd" parameter allows for re-use (re-programming) of an existing timerfd w/out going through the close/open cycle (same as signalfd). If "ufd" is -1, s new file descriptor will be created, otherwise the existing "ufd" will be re-programmed. The "clockid" parameter is either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME. The time specified in the "utmr->it_value" parameter is the expiry time for the timer. If the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME flag is set in "flags", this is an absolute time, otherwise it's a relative time. If the time specified in the "utmr->it_interval" is not zero (.tv_sec == 0, tv_nsec == 0), this is the period at which the following ticks should be generated. The "utmr->it_interval" should be set to zero if only one tick is requested. Setting the "utmr->it_value" to zero will disable the timer, or will create a timerfd without the timer enabled. The function returns the new (or same, in case "ufd" is a valid timerfd descriptor) file, or -1 in case of error. As stated before, the timerfd file descriptor supports poll(2), select(2) and epoll(2). When a timer event happened on the timerfd, a POLLIN mask will be returned. The read(2) call can be used, and it will return a u32 variable holding the number of "ticks" that happened on the interface since the last call to read(2). The read(2) call supportes the O_NONBLOCK flag too, and EAGAIN will be returned if no ticks happened.

2007-05-11signal/timer/event: signalfd coreDavide Libenzi
This patch series implements the new signalfd() system call. I took part of the original Linus code (and you know how badly it can be broken :), and I added even more breakage ;) Signals are fetched from the same signal queue used by the process, so signalfd will compete with standard kernel delivery in dequeue_signal(). If you want to reliably fetch signals on the signalfd file, you need to block them with sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK). This seems to be working fine on my Dual Opteron machine. I made a quick test program for it: http://www.xmailserver.org/signafd-test.c The signalfd() system call implements signal delivery into a file descriptor receiver. The signalfd file descriptor if created with the following API: int signalfd(int ufd, const sigset_t *mask, size_t masksize); The "ufd" parameter allows to change an existing signalfd sigmask, w/out going to close/create cycle (Linus idea). Use "ufd" == -1 if you want a brand new signalfd file. The "mask" allows to specify the signal mask of signals that we are interested in. The "masksize" parameter is the size of "mask". The signalfd fd supports the poll(2) and read(2) system calls. The poll(2) will return POLLIN when signals are available to be dequeued. As a direct consequence of supporting the Linux poll subsystem, the signalfd fd can use used together with epoll(2) too. The read(2) system call will return a "struct signalfd_siginfo" structure in the userspace supplied buffer. The return value is the number of bytes copied in the supplied buffer, or -1 in case of error. The read(2) call can also return 0, in case the sighand structure to which the signalfd was attached, has been orphaned. The O_NONBLOCK flag is also supported, and read(2) will return -EAGAIN in case no signal is available. If the size of the buffer passed to read(2) is lower than sizeof(struct signalfd_siginfo), -EINVAL is returned. A read from the signalfd can also return -ERESTARTSYS in case a signal hits the process. The format of the struct signalfd_siginfo is, and the valid fields depends of the (->code & __SI_MASK) value, in the same way a struct siginfo would: struct signalfd_siginfo { __u32 signo; /* si_signo */ __s32 err; /* si_errno */ __s32 code; /* si_code */ __u32 pid; /* si_pid */ __u32 uid; /* si_uid */ __s32 fd; /* si_fd */ __u32 tid; /* si_fd */ __u32 band; /* si_band */ __u32 overrun; /* si_overrun */ __u32 trapno; /* si_trapno */ __s32 status; /* si_status */ __s32 svint; /* si_int */ __u64 svptr; /* si_ptr */ __u64 utime; /* si_utime */ __u64 stime; /* si_stime */ __u64 addr; /* si_addr */ }; [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix signalfd_copyinfo() on i386] Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

attach_pid() currently takes a pid_t and then uses find_pid() to find the corresponding struct pid. Sometimes we already have the struct pid.

2007-05-11Add hard_irq_disable()Benjamin Herrenschmidt
Some architectures, like powerpc, implement lazy disabling of interrupts. That means that on those, local_irq_disable() doesn't actually disable interrupts on the CPU, but only sets some per CPU flag which cause them to be disabled only if an interrupt actually occurs. However, in some cases, such as stop_machine, we really want interrupts to be fully disabled. For example, I have code using stop machine to do ECC error injection, used to verify operations of the ECC hardware, that sort of thing. It really needs to make sure that nothing is actually writing to memory while the injection happens. Similar examples can be found in other low level bits and pieces. This patch implements a generic hard_irq_disable() function which is meant to be called -after- local_irq_disable() and ensures that interrupts are fully disabled on that CPU. The default implementation is a nop, though powerpc does already provide an appropriate one.

2007-05-11lib/hexdumpRandy Dunlap
Based on ace_dump_mem() from Grant Likely for the Xilinx SystemACE CompactFlash interface. Add print_hex_dump() & hex_dumper() to lib/hexdump.c and linux/kernel.h. This patch adds the functions print_hex_dump() & hex_dumper(). print_hex_dump() can be used to perform a hex + ASCII dump of data to syslog, in an easily viewable format, thus providing a common text hex dump format. hex_dumper() provides a dump-to-memory function. It converts one "line" of output (16 bytes of input) at a time. Example usages: print_hex_dump(KERN_DEBUG, DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS, frame->data, frame->len); hex_dumper(frame->data, frame->len, linebuf, sizeof(linebuf)); Example output using %DUMP_PREFIX_OFFSET: 0009ab42: 40414243 44454647 48494a4b 4c4d4e4f-@ABCDEFG HIJKLMNO Example output using %DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS: ffffffff88089af0: 70717273 74757677 78797a7b 7c7d7e7f-pqrstuvw xyz{|}~.

2007-05-11getrusage(): fill ru_inblock and ru_oublock fields if possibleEric Dumazet
If CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING is defined, we update io accounting counters for each task. This patch permits reporting of values using the well known getrusage() syscall, filling ru_inblock and ru_oublock instead of null values. As TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING currently counts bytes counts, we approximate blocks count doing : nr_blocks = nr_bytes / 512 Example of use : ---------------------- After patch is applied, /usr/bin/time command can now give a good approximation of IO that the process had to do. $ /usr/bin/time grep tototo /usr/include/* Command exited with non-zero status 1 0.00user 0.02system 0:02.11elapsed 1%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 24288inputs+0outputs (0major+259minor)pagefaults 0swaps $ /usr/bin/time dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/testfile count=1000 1000+0 enregistrements lus 1000+0 enregistrements écrits 512000 octets (512 kB) copiés, 0,00326601 seconde, 157 MB/s 0.00user 0.00system 0:00.00elapsed 80%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+3000outputs (0major+299minor)pagefaults 0swaps Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-05-11When stacked block devices are in-use (e.g. md or dm), the recursive callsNeil Brown
to generic_make_request can use up a lot of space, and we would rather they didn't. As generic_make_request is a void function, and as it is generally not expected that it will have any effect immediately, it is safe to delay any call to generic_make_request until there is sufficient stack space available. As ->bi_next is reserved for the driver to use, it can have no valid value when generic_make_request is called, and as __make_request implicitly assumes it will be NULL (ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE fork of switch) we can be certain that all callers set it to NULL. We can therefore safely use bi_next to link pending requests together, providing we clear it before making the real call. So, we choose to allow each thread to only be active in one generic_make_request at a time. If a subsequent (recursive) call is made, the bio is linked into a per-thread list, and is handled when the active call completes. As the list of pending bios is per-thread, there are no locking issues to worry about. I say above that it is "safe to delay any call...". There are, however, some behaviours of a make_request_fn which would make it unsafe. These include any behaviour that assumes anything will have changed after a recursive call to generic_make_request. These could include: - waiting for that call to finish and call it's bi_end_io function. md use to sometimes do this (marking the superblock dirty before completing a write) but doesn't any more - inspecting the bio for fields that generic_make_request might change, such as bi_sector or bi_bdev. It is hard to see a good reason for this, and I don't think anyone actually does it. - inspecing the queue to see if, e.g. it is 'full' yet. Again, I think this is very unlikely to be useful, or to be done.

For device-mapper at the moment though it's essential that, while the bio mappings may now get delayed, they still get processed in exactly the same order as they were passed to generic_make_request(). My main concern is whether the timing changes implicit in this patch will make the rare data-corrupting races in the existing snapshot code more likely. (I'm working on a fix for these races, but the unfinished patch is already several hundred lines long.) It would be helpful if some people on this mailing list would test this patch in various scenarios and report back.

2007-05-11[PATCH] Abnormal End of ProcessesSteve Grubb
Hi, I have been working on some code that detects abnormal events based on audit system events. One kind of event that we currently have no visibility for is when a program terminates due to segfault - which should never happen on a production machine. And if it did, you'd want to investigate it. Attached is a patch that collects these events and sends them into the audit system.

When auditing syscalls that send signals, log the pid and security context for each target process.

For process groups, collect pid/context data in blocks of 16. Move the audit_signal_info() hook up in check_kill_permission() so we audit attempts where permission is denied.
