2008-06-23gss_krb5: create a define for token header size and clean up ptr locationKevin Coffman
cleanup: Document token header size with a #define instead of open-coding it. Don't needlessly increment "ptr" past the beginning of the header which makes the values passed to functions more understandable and eliminates the need for extra "krb5_hdr" pointer. Clean up some intersecting white-space issues flagged by checkpatch.pl. This leaves the checksum length hard-coded at 8 for DES. A later patch cleans that up.

Rename nfsd_permission() specific MAY_* flags to NFSD_MAY_* to make it clear, that these are not used outside nfsd, and to avoid name and number space conflicts with the VFS.

2008-06-23sunrpc: remove sv_kill_signal field from svc_serv structJeff Layton

2008-06-23knfsd: convert knfsd to kthread APIJeff Layton
This patch is rather large, but I couldn't figure out a way to break it up that would remain bisectable. It does several things: - change svc_thread_fn typedef to better match what kthread_create expects - change svc_pool_map_set_cpumask to be more kthread friendly. Make it take a task arg and and get rid of the "oldmask" - have svc_set_num_threads call kthread_create directly - eliminate __svc_create_thread Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J.

2008-06-23knfsd: Replace lock_kernel with a mutex for nfsd thread startup/shutdown ↵Neil Brown
locking. This removes the BKL from the RPC service creation codepath. The BKL really isn't adequate for this job since some of this info needs protection across sleeps. Also, add some comments to try and clarify how the locking should work and to make it clear that the BKL isn't necessary as long as there is adequate locking between tasks when touching the svc_serv fields.

2008-05-15[POWERPC] Fix uninitialized variable bug in copy_{to|from}_userNate Case
Calls to copy_to_user() or copy_from_user() can fail when copying N bytes, where N is a constant less than 8, but not 1, 2, 4, or 8, because 'ret' is not initialized and is only set if the size is 1, 2, 4 or 8, but is tested after the switch statement for any constant size <= 8. This fixes it by initializing 'ret' to 1, causing the code to fall through to the __copy_tofrom_user call for sizes other than 1, 2, 4 or 8.

2008-05-15[POWERPC] vmemmap fixes to use smaller pagesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This changes vmemmap to use a different region (region 0xf) of the address space, and to configure the page size of that region dynamically at boot. The problem with the current approach of always using 16M pages is that it's not well suited to machines that have small amounts of memory such as small partitions on pseries, or PS3's. In fact, on the PS3, failure to allocate the 16M page backing vmmemmap tends to prevent hotplugging the HV's "additional" memory, thus limiting the available memory even more, from my experience down to something like 80M total, which makes it really not very useable. The logic used by my match to choose the vmemmap page size is: - If 16M pages are available and there's 1G or more RAM at boot, use that size. - Else if 64K pages are available, use that - Else use 4K pages I've tested on a POWER6 (16M pages) and on an iSeries POWER3 (4K pages) and it seems to work fine. Note that I intend to change the way we organize the kernel regions & SLBs so the actual region will change from 0xf back to something else at one point, as I simplify the SLB miss handler, but that will be for a later patch.

2008-05-14per_cpu: fix DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED for modulesEric Dumazet
Current module loader lookups ".data.percpu" ELF section to perform per_cpu relocation. But DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED() uses another section (".data.percpu.shared_aligned"), currently only handled in vmlinux.lds, not by module loader. To correct this problem, instead of adding logic into module loader, or using at build time a module.lds file for all arches to group ".data.percpu.shared_aligned" into ".data.percpu", just use ".data.percpu" for modules. Alignment requirements are correctly handled by ld and module loader.

2008-05-14asm-{alpha,h8300,um,v850,xtensa}/param.h: unbreak HZ for userspaceMike Frysinger
I noticed this because alpha was broken due to the recent commit commit bdc807871d58285737d50dc6163d0feb72cb0dc2 ("avoid overflows in kernel/time.c"). Most arches do something like this in their asm/param.h: #ifdef __KERNEL__ # define HZ CONFIG_HZ #else # define HZ 100 #endif A few arches though (namely alpha/h8300/um/v850/xtensa) either do no set HZ at all for !__KERNEL__, or they set it wrongly. This should bring all arches in line by setting up HZ for userspace. Without this currently perl 5.10 doesn't build on alpha: perl.c: In function 'perl_construct': perl.c:388: error: 'CONFIG_HZ' undeclared (first use in this function) -> http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=perl;ver=5.10.0-10;arch=alpha;stamp=1210252894 Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Cc: Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net> Cc: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru> Cc: Yoshinori Sato <ysato@users.sourceforge.jp> Cc: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Cc: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net> Cc: maximilian attems <max@stro.at> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> [ HZ on alpha is 1024 for historical reasons. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-05-149p: fix error path during early mountEric Van Hensbergen
There was some cleanup issues during early mount which would trigger a kernel bug for certain types of failure. This patch reorganizes the cleanup to get rid of the bad behavior. This also merges the 9pnet and 9pnet_fd modules for the purpose of configuration and initialization.

2008-05-14add match_strlcpy() us it to make v9fs make uname and remotename parsing ↵Markus Armbruster
more robust match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer. There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options(). I believe it currently can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious. The source string is a substing of the mount options. The kernel silently truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero. See compat_sys_mount() and do_mount(). The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX. We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE. PATH_MAX is 4096. As far as I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096. Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct. It doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

2008-05-14fix SMP data race in pagetable setup vs walkingNick Piggin
There is a possible data race in the page table walking code. After the split ptlock patches, it actually seems to have been introduced to the core code, but even before that I think it would have impacted some architectures (powerpc and sparc64, at least, walk the page tables without taking locks eg. see find_linux_pte()). The race is as follows: The pte page is allocated, zeroed, and its struct page gets its spinlock initialized. The mm-wide ptl is then taken, and then the pte page is inserted into the pagetables. At this point, the spinlock is not guaranteed to have ordered the previous stores to initialize the pte page with the subsequent store to put it in the page tables. So another Linux page table walker might be walking down (without any locks, because we have split-leaf-ptls), and find that new pte we've inserted. It might try to take the spinlock before the store from the other CPU initializes it. And subsequently it might read a pte_t out before stores from the other CPU have cleared the memory. There are also similar races in higher levels of the page tables. They obviously don't involve the spinlock, but could see uninitialized memory. Arch code and hardware pagetable walkers that walk the pagetables without locks could see similar uninitialized memory problems, regardless of whether split ptes are enabled or not. I prefer to put the barriers in core code, because that's where the higher level logic happens, but the page table accessors are per-arch, and open-coding them everywhere I don't think is an option. I'll put the read-side barriers in alpha arch code for now (other architectures perform data-dependent loads in order).

2008-05-14read_barrier_depends arch fixletsNick Piggin
read_barrie_depends has always been a noop (not a compiler barrier) on all architectures except SMP alpha. This brings UP alpha and frv into line with all other architectures, and fixes incorrect documentation. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Acked-by: Paul E.
