2008-04-30Basic braille screen reader supportSamuel Thibault
This adds a minimalistic braille screen reader support. This is meant to be used by blind people e.g. on boot failures or when / cannot be mounted etc and thus the userland screen readers can not work.

2008-04-30mm: Add NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP counterMiklos Szeredi
Fuse will use temporary buffers to write back dirty data from memory mappings (normal writes are done synchronously). This is needed, because there cannot be any guarantee about the time in which a write will complete. By using temporary buffers, from the MM's point if view the page is written back immediately. If the writeout was due to memory pressure, this effectively migrates data from a full zone to a less full zone. This patch adds a new counter (NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP) for the number of pages used as temporary buffers.

2008-04-30mm: bdi: allow setting a minimum for the bdi dirty limitPeter Zijlstra
Under normal circumstances each device is given a part of the total write-back cache that relates to its current avg writeout speed in relation to the other devices. min_ratio - allows one to assign a minimum portion of the write-back cache to a particular device. This is useful in situations where you might want to provide a minimum QoS. (One request for this feature came from flash based storage people who wanted to avoid writing out at all costs - they of course needed some pdflush hacks as well) max_ratio - allows one to assign a maximum portion of the dirty limit to a particular device. This is useful in situations where you want to avoid one device taking all or most of the write-back cache. Eg. an NFS mount that is prone to get stuck, or a FUSE mount which you don't trust to play fair. Add "min_ratio" to /sys/class/bdi. This indicates the minimum percentage of the global dirty threshold allocated to this bdi.

2008-04-30pidns: make pid->level and pid_ns->level unsignedPavel Emelyanov
These values represent the nesting level of a namespace and pids living in it, and it's always non-negative. Turning this from int to unsigned int saves some space in pid.c (11 bytes on x86 and 64 on ia64) by letting the compiler optimize the pid_nr_ns a bit. E.g. on ia64 this removes the sign extension calls, which compiler adds to optimize access to pid->nubers[ns->level]. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Cc: "Eric W.

2008-04-30pids: introduce change_pid() helperOleg Nesterov
Based on Eric W. Biederman's idea. Without tasklist_lock held task_session()/task_pgrp() can return NULL if the caller races with setprgp()/setsid() which does detach_pid() + attach_pid(). This can happen even if task == current. Intoduce the new helper, change_pid(), which should be used instead. This way the caller always sees the special pid != NULL, either old or new. Also change the prototype of attach_pid(), it always returns 0 and nobody check the returned value. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: "Eric W.

On some machines those bits are scarce, and we can free this unneeded one up for other uses. It is probably the case that TIF_SIGPENDING is always set anyway everywhere set_restore_sigmask() is used.

2008-04-30signals: fix /sbin/init protection from unwanted signalsOleg Nesterov
The global init has a lot of long standing problems with the unhandled fatal signals. - The "is_global_init(current)" check in get_signal_to_deliver() protects only the main thread. Sub-thread can dequee the fatal signal and shutdown the whole thread group except the main thread. If it dequeues SIGSTOP /sbin/init will be stopped, this is not right too. Note that we can't use is_global_init(->group_leader), this breaks exec and this can't solve other problems we have. - Even if afterwards ignored, the fatal signals sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT on delivery. This breaks exec, has other bad implications, and this is just wrong. Introduce the new SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag to fix these problems. It also helps to solve some other problems addressed by the subsequent patches. Currently we use this flag for the global init only, but it could also be used by kthreads and (perhaps) by the sub-namespace inits. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: "Eric W.

2008-04-30signals: re-assign CLD_CONTINUED notification from the sender to recieverOleg Nesterov
Based on discussion with Jiri and Roland. In short: currently handle_stop_signal(SIGCONT, p) sends the notification to p->parent, with this patch p itself notifies its parent when it becomes running. handle_stop_signal(SIGCONT) has to drop ->siglock temporary in order to notify the parent with do_notify_parent_cldstop(). This leads to multiple problems: - as Jiri Kosina pointed out, the stopped task can resume without actually seeing SIGCONT which may have a handler. - we race with another sig_kernel_stop() signal which may come in that window. - we race with sig_fatal() signals which may set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT in that window. - we can't avoid taking tasklist_lock() while sending SIGCONT. With this patch handle_stop_signal() just sets the new SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED flag in p->signal->flags and returns. The notification is sent by the first task which returns from finish_stop() (there should be at least one) or any other signalled thread from get_signal_to_deliver(). This is a user-visible change. Say, currently kill(SIGCONT, stopped_child) can't return without seeing SIGCHLD, with this patch SIGCHLD can be delayed unpredictably. Another difference is that if the child is ptraced by another process, CLD_CONTINUED may be delivered to ->real_parent after ptrace_detach() while currently it always goes to the tracer which doesn't actually need this notification. Hopefully not a problem. The patch asks for the futher obvious cleanups, I'll send them separately.

Fail migrate if we allocated new blocks via mmap write. If we write to holes in the file via mmap, we end up allocating new blocks. This block allocation happens without taking inode->i_mutex. Since migrate is protected by i_mutex and migrate expects that no new blocks get allocated during migrate, fail migrate if new blocks get allocated. We can't take inode->i_mutex in the mmap write path because that would result in a locking order violation between i_mutex and mmap_sem. Also adding a separate rw_sempahore for protection is really high overhead for a rare operation such as migrate.

2008-04-29block: fix queue locking verificationLinus Torvalds
The new queue_flag_set/clear() functions verify that the queue is locked, but in doing so they will actually instead oops if the queue lock hasn't been initialized at all. So fix the lock debug test to consider the "no lock" case to be unlocked. This way you get a nice WARN_ON_ONCE() instead of a fatal oops. Bug introduced by commit 75ad23bc0fcb4f992a5d06982bf0857ab1738e9e ("block: make queue flags non-atomic").

[PATCH 1/2] pci/irq: restore mask_bits in msi shutdown -v3 Yinghai found that kexec'ing a RHEL 5.1 kernel with 2.6.25-rc3+ kernels prevents his NIC from working. He bisected to | commit 89d694b9dbe769ca1004e01db0ca43964806a611 | Author: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> | Date: Mon Feb 18 18:25:17 2008 +0100 | | genirq: do not leave interupts enabled on free_irq | | The default_disable() function was changed in commit: | | 76d2160147f43f982dfe881404cfde9fd0a9da21 | genirq: do not mask interrupts by default | For MSI, default_shutdown will call mask_bit for msi device. All mask bits will left disabled after free_irq. Then in the kexec case, the next kernel can only use msi_enable bit, so all device's MSI can not be used. So lets to restore the mask bit to its pci reset defined value (enabled) when we disable the kernels use of msi to be a little friendlier to kexec'd kernels. Extend msi_set_mask_bit to msi_set_mask_bits to take mask, so we can fully restore that to 0x00 instead of 0xfe.
