2006-10-17[PATCH] Fix IO error reporting on fsync()Jan Kara
When IO error happens on metadata buffer, buffer is freed from memory and later fsync() is called, filesystems like ext2 fail to report EIO. We solve the problem by introducing a pointer to associated address space into the buffer_head. When a buffer is removed from a list of metadata buffers associated with an address space, IO error is transferred from the buffer to the address space, so that fsync can later report it.

2006-10-17[PATCH] knfsd: Allow lockd to drop replies as appropriateNeilBrown
It is possible for the ->fopen callback from lockd into nfsd to find that an answer cannot be given straight away (an upcall is needed) and so the request has to be 'dropped', to be retried later. That error status is not currently propagated back. So: Change nlm_fopen to return nlm error codes (rather than a private protocol) and define a new nlm_drop_reply code. Cause nlm_drop_reply to cause the rpc request to get rpc_drop_reply when this error comes back. Cause svc_process to drop a request which returns a status of rpc_drop_reply.

2006-10-16[PATCH] FRV: Use the correct preemption primitives in kmap_atomic() and coDavid Howells
Use inc/dec_preempt_count() rather than preempt_enable/disable() and manually add in the compiler barriers that were provided by the latter. This makes FRV consistent with other archs. Furthermore, the compiler barrier effects are now there unconditionally - at least as far as preemption is concerned - because we don't want the compiler moving memory accesses out of the section of code in which the mapping is in force - in effect the kmap_atomic() must imply a LOCK-class barrier and the kunmap_atomic() must imply an UNLOCK-class barrier to the compiler.

Most Bluetooth chips don't support concurrent connect requests, because this would involve a multiple baseband page with only one radio. In the case an upper layer like L2CAP requests a concurrent connect these chips return the error "Command Disallowed" for the second request. If this happens it the responsibility of the Bluetooth core to queue the request and try again after the previous connect attempt has been completed.

2006-10-14ACPI: consolidate functions in acpi ec driverLennart Poettering
Unify the following functions: acpi_ec_poll_read() acpi_ec_poll_write() acpi_ec_poll_query() acpi_ec_intr_read() acpi_ec_intr_write() acpi_ec_intr_query() into: acpi_ec_poll_transaction() acpi_ec_intr_transaction() These new functions take as arguments an ACPI EC command, a few bytes to write to the EC data register and a buffer for a few bytes to read from the EC data register. The old _read(), _write(), _query() are just special cases of these functions. Then unified the code in acpi_ec_poll_transaction() and acpi_ec_intr_transaction() a little more. Both functions are now just wrappers around the new acpi_ec_transaction_unlocked() function. The latter contains the EC access logic, the two original function now just do their special way of locking and call the the new function for the actual work. This saves a lot of very similar code. The primary reason for doing this, however, is that my driver for MSI 270 laptops needs to issue some non-standard EC commands in a safe way. Due to this I added a new exported function similar to ec_write()/ec_write() which is called ec_transaction() and is essentially just a wrapper around acpi_ec_{poll,intr}_transaction().

2006-10-14ACPI: Processor native C-states using MWAITVenkatesh Pallipadi
Intel processors starting with the Core Duo support support processor native C-state using the MWAIT instruction. Refer: Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual http://www.intel.com/design/Pentium4/manuals/253668.htm Platform firmware exports the support for Native C-state to OS using ACPI _PDC and _CST methods. Refer: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI: Interface Specification http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/302223.htm With Processor Native C-state, we use 'MWAIT' instruction on the processor to enter different C-states (C1, C2, C3). We won't use the special IO ports to enter C-state and no SMM mode etc required to enter C-state. Overall this will mean better C-state support. One major advantage of using MWAIT for all C-states is, with this and "treat interrupt as break event" feature of MWAIT, we can now get accurate timing for the time spent in C1, C2, .. states.

2006-10-11IPsec: correct semantics for SELinux policy matchingVenkat Yekkirala
Currently when an IPSec policy rule doesn't specify a security context, it is assumed to be "unlabeled" by SELinux, and so the IPSec policy rule fails to match to a flow that it would otherwise match to, unless one has explicitly added an SELinux policy rule allowing the flow to "polmatch" to the "unlabeled" IPSec policy rules. In the absence of such an explicitly added SELinux policy rule, the IPSec policy rule fails to match and so the packet(s) flow in clear text without the otherwise applicable xfrm(s) applied. The above SELinux behavior violates the SELinux security notion of "deny by default" which should actually translate to "encrypt by default" in the above case. This was first reported by Evgeniy Polyakov and the way James Morris was seeing the problem was when connecting via IPsec to a confined service on an SELinux box (vsftpd), which did not have the appropriate SELinux policy permissions to send packets via IPsec. With this patch applied, SELinux "polmatching" of flows Vs. IPSec policy rules will only come into play when there's a explicit context specified for the IPSec policy rule (which also means there's corresponding SELinux policy allowing appropriate domains/flows to polmatch to this context). Secondly, when a security module is loaded (in this case, SELinux), the security_xfrm_policy_lookup() hook can return errors other than access denied, such as -EINVAL. We were not handling that correctly, and in fact inverting the return logic and propagating a false "ok" back up to xfrm_lookup(), which then allowed packets to pass as if they were not associated with an xfrm policy. The solution for this is to first ensure that errno values are correctly propagated all the way back up through the various call chains from security_xfrm_policy_lookup(), and handled correctly. Then, flow_cache_lookup() is modified, so that if the policy resolver fails (typically a permission denied via the security module), the flow cache entry is killed rather than having a null policy assigned (which indicates that the packet can pass freely). This also forces any future lookups for the same flow to consult the security module (e.g. SELinux) for current security policy (rather than, say, caching the error on the flow cache entry). This patch: Fix the selinux side of things. This makes sure SELinux polmatching of flow contexts to IPSec policy rules comes into play only when an explicit context is associated with the IPSec policy rule. Also, this no longer defaults the context of a socket policy to the context of the socket since the "no explicit context" case is now handled properly.

2006-10-11IPsec: propagate security module errors up from flow_cache_lookupJames Morris
When a security module is loaded (in this case, SELinux), the security_xfrm_policy_lookup() hook can return an access denied permission (or other error). We were not handling that correctly, and in fact inverting the return logic and propagating a false "ok" back up to xfrm_lookup(), which then allowed packets to pass as if they were not associated with an xfrm policy. The way I was seeing the problem was when connecting via IPsec to a confined service on an SELinux box (vsftpd), which did not have the appropriate SELinux policy permissions to send packets via IPsec. The first SYNACK would be blocked, because of an uncached lookup via flow_cache_lookup(), which would fail to resolve an xfrm policy because the SELinux policy is checked at that point via the resolver. However, retransmitted SYNACKs would then find a cached flow entry when calling into flow_cache_lookup() with a null xfrm policy, which is interpreted by xfrm_lookup() as the packet not having any associated policy and similarly to the first case, allowing it to pass without transformation. The solution presented here is to first ensure that errno values are correctly propagated all the way back up through the various call chains from security_xfrm_policy_lookup(), and handled correctly. Then, flow_cache_lookup() is modified, so that if the policy resolver fails (typically a permission denied via the security module), the flow cache entry is killed rather than having a null policy assigned (which indicates that the packet can pass freely). This also forces any future lookups for the same flow to consult the security module (e.g. SELinux) for current security policy (rather than, say, caching the error on the flow cache entry).

2006-10-11[PATCH] VFS: Destroy the dentries contributed by a superblock on unmountingDavid Howells
The attached patch destroys all the dentries attached to a superblock in one go by: (1) Destroying the tree rooted at s_root. (2) Destroying every entry in the anon list, one at a time. (3) Each entry in the anon list has its subtree consumed from the leaves inwards. This reduces the amount of work generic_shutdown_super() does, and avoids iterating through the dentry_unused list. Note that locking is almost entirely absent in the shrink_dcache_for_umount*() functions added by this patch. This is because: (1) at the point the filesystem calls generic_shutdown_super(), it is not permitted to further touch the superblock's set of dentries, and nor may it remove aliases from inodes; (2) the dcache memory shrinker now skips dentries that are being unmounted; and (3) the superblock no longer has any external references through which the VFS can reach it. Given these points, the only locking we need to do is when we remove dentries from the unused list and the name hashes, which we do a directory's worth at a time. We also don't need to guard against reference counts going to zero unexpectedly and removing bits of the tree we're working on as nothing else can call dput(). A cut down version of dentry_iput() has been folded into shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree() function. Apart from not needing to unlock things, it also doesn't need to check for inotify watches. In this version of the patch, the complaint about a dentry still being in use has been expanded from a single BUG_ON() and now gives much more information.

2006-10-11[PATCH] include linux/types.h in linux/nbd.hMike Frysinger
The nbd header uses __be32 and such types but doesn't actually include the header that defines these things (linux/types.h); so let's include it. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-10-11[PATCH] Consolidate check_signatureMatthew Wilcox
There's nothing arch-specific about check_signature(), so move it to <linux/io.h>. Use a cross between the Alpha and i386 implementations as the generic one.

2006-10-11[PATCH] bitmap: parse input from kernel and user buffersReinette Chatre
lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a user buffer. This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc function of the /proc filesystem operates. This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user(). We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the buffer differently. We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for kernel and user. This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel buffers. We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the upcoming bandwidth allocator code. Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.

2006-10-11[PATCH] 32-bit compatibility HDIO IOCTLsMaciej W. Rozycki
A couple of HDIO IOCTLs are not yet handled and a few others are marked as using a pointer rather than an unsigned long. The formers include: HDIO_GET_WCACHE, HDIO_GET_ACOUSTIC, HDIO_GET_ADDRESS and HDIO_GET_BUSSTATE. The latters are: HDIO_SET_MULTCOUNT, HDIO_SET_UNMASKINTR, HDIO_SET_KEEPSETTINGS, HDIO_SET_32BIT, HDIO_SET_NOWERR, HDIO_SET_DMA, HDIO_SET_PIO_MODE and HDIO_SET_NICE. Additionally 0x330 used to be HDIO_GETGEO_BIG and may be issued by 32-bit `hdparm' run on a 64-bit kernel making Linux complain loudly. This is a fix for these issues. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

2006-10-11[PATCH] sched: likely profilingNick Piggin
This likely profiling is pretty fun. I found a few possible problems in sched.c. This patch may be not measurable, but when I did measure long ago, nooping (un)likely cost a couple of % on scheduler heavy benchmarks, so it all adds up. Tweak some branch hints: - the 2nd 64 bits in the bitmask is likely to be populated, because it contains the first 28 bits (nearly 3/4) of the normal priorities. (ratio of 669669:691 ~= 1000:1). - it isn't unlikely that context switching switches to another process. it might be very rapidly switching to and from the idle process (ratio of 475815:419004 and 471330:423544). Let the branch predictor decide. - preempt_enable seems to be very often called in a nested preempt_disable or with interrupts disabled (ratio of 3567760:87965 ~= 40:1) Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Daniel Walker <dwalker@mvista.com> Cc: Hua Zhong <hzhong@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
