2008-02-06[CPUFREQ] Eliminate cpufreq_userspace scaling_setspeed deadlockVenki Pallipadi
Eliminate cpufreq_userspace scaling_setspeed deadlock. Luming Yu recently uncovered yet another cpufreq related deadlock. One thread that continuously switches the governors and the other thread that repeatedly cats the contents of cpufreq directory causes both these threads to go into a deadlock. Detailed examination of the deadlock showed the exact flow before the deadlock as: Thread 1 Thread 2 ________ ________ cats files under /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/ Set governor to userspace Adds a new sysfs entry for scaling_setspeed cats files under /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/ Set governor to performance Holds cpufreq_rw_sem in write mode Sends a STOP notify to userspace governor cat /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/scaling_setspeed Gets a handle on the above sysfs entry with sysfs_get_active Blocks while trying to get cpufreq_rw_sem in read mode Remove a sysfs entry for scaling_setspeed Blocks on sysfs_deactivate while waiting for earlier get_active (on other thread) to drain At this point both threads go into deadlock and any other thread that tries to do anything with sysfs cpufreq will also block. There seems to be no easy way to avoid this deadlock as long as cpufreq_userspace adds/removes the sysfs entry under same kobject as cpufreq. Below patch moves scaling_setspeed to cpufreq.c, keeping it always and calling back the governor on read/write. This is the cleanest fix I could think of, even though adding two callbacks in governor structure just for this seems unnecessary. Note that the change makes scaling_setspeed under /sys/.../cpufreq permanent and returns <unsupported> when governor is not userspace.

2008-02-069p: transport API reorganizationEric Van Hensbergen
This merges the mux.c (including the connection interface) with trans_fd in preparation for transport API changes. Ultimately, trans_fd will need to be rewritten to clean it up and simplify the implementation, but this reorganization is viewed as the first step.

2008-02-069p: add support for sticky bitAnthony Liguori
GDM gets unhappy if /var/gdm doesn't have the sticky bit set. This patch adds support for the sticky bit in much the same way setuid/setgid is supported.

2008-02-06md: allow devices to be shared between md arraysNeilBrown
Currently, a given device is "claimed" by a particular array so that it cannot be used by other arrays. This is not ideal for DDF and other metadata schemes which have their own partitioning concept. So for externally managed metadata, just claim the device for md in general, require that "offset" and "size" are set properly for each device, and make sure that if a device is included in different arrays then the active sections do not overlap. This involves adding another flag to the rdev which makes it awkward to set "->flags = 0" to clear certain flags. So now clear flags explicitly by name when we want to clear things.

2008-02-06md: allow a maximum extent to be set for resyncingNeilBrown
This allows userspace to control resync/reshape progress and synchronise it with other activities, such as shared access in a SAN, or backing up critical sections during a tricky reshape. Writing a number of sectors (which must be a multiple of the chunk size if such is meaningful) causes a resync to pause when it gets to that point.

2008-02-06md: support 'external' metadata for md arraysNeilBrown
- Add a state flag 'external' to indicate that the metadata is managed externally (by user-space) so important changes need to be left of user-space to handle. Alternates are non-persistant ('none') where there is no stable metadata - after the array is stopped there is no record of it's status - and internal which can be version 0.90 or version 1.x These are selected by writing to the 'metadata' attribute. - move the updating of superblocks (sync_sbs) to after we have checked if there are any superblocks or not. - New array state 'write_pending'. This means that the metadata records the array as 'clean', but a write has been requested, so the metadata has to be updated to record a 'dirty' array before the write can continue. This change is reported to md by writing 'active' to the array_state attribute. - tidy up marking of sb_dirty: - don't set sb_dirty when resync finishes as md_check_recovery calls md_update_sb when the sync thread finishes anyway. - Don't set sb_dirty in multipath_run as the array might not be dirty. - don't mark superblock dirty when switching to 'clean' if there is no internal superblock (if external, userspace can choose to update the superblock whenever it chooses to).

2008-02-06md: Update md bitmap during resync.NeilBrown
Currently an md array with a write-intent bitmap does not updated that bitmap to reflect successful partial resync. Rather the entire bitmap is updated when the resync completes. This is because there is no guarentee that resync requests will complete in order, and tracking each request individually is unnecessarily burdensome. However there is value in regularly updating the bitmap, so add code to periodically pause while all pending sync requests complete, then update the bitmap. Doing this only every few seconds (the same as the bitmap update time) does not notciably affect resync performance.

2008-02-06atmel_lcdfb: backlight controlDavid Brownell
On the sam9 EK boards, the LCD backlight is hooked up to a PWM output from the LCD controller. It's controlled by "contrast" registers though. This patch lets boards declare that they have that kind of backlight control. The driver can then export this control, letting screenblank and other operations actually take effect ... reducing the typically substantial power drain from the backlight. Note that it's not fully cooked - doesn't force backlight off during system suspend - the "power" and "blank" events may not be done right This should be easily added in the future.

2008-02-06sm501fb: control panel pin usage with platform data flagsMagnus Damm
This patch makes it possible to control panel pins usage with flags passed from the platform data. Without this patch the sm501fb driver always controls the VBIASEN and FPEN pins. The polarity and use of these pins are very platform specific, so this patch introduces the flags SM501FB_FLAG_PANEL_USE_VBIASEN and SM501FB_FLAG_PANEL_USE_FPEN which enable the use of these pins. This patch is needed to support the a Sharp LQ104V1DG21 lcd panel on SuperH platforms such as R2D-1 and R2D-PLUS boards. Letting the sm501fb driver control the FPEN and VBIASEN pins like today just results in lcd panel flicker. Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp> Cc: "Antonino A.

2008-02-06system timer: fix crash in <100Hz system timerDavid Fries
The kernel has a divide by zero crash when trying to run the system timer less than 100Hz. The problem is x/(HZ/USER_HZ) and related. Now x*(USER_HZ/HZ) will be used if HZ<USER_HZ. I'm running the Linux kernel under qemu and went to run a slower system timer to take less CPU (and battery) on the host. I found that the kernel paniced under emulation because of a divide by zero in three places. Here is the patch. The base git was updated today 01-05-2008. I went for a 20Hz system time by adding config HZ_20 etc to kernel/Kconfig.hz. With this patch I verified the system timer by looking at /proc/interrupts.

2008-02-06kernel/sys.c: get rid of expensive divides in groups_sort()Eric Dumazet
groups_sort() can be quite long if user loads a large gid table. This is because GROUP_AT(group_info, some_integer) uses an integer divide. So having to do XXX thousand divides during one syscall can lead to very high latencies. (NGROUPS_MAX=65536) In the past (25 Mar 2006), an analog problem was found in groups_search() (commit d74beb9f33a5f16d2965f11b275e401f225c949d ) and at that time I changed some variables to unsigned int. I believe that a more generic fix is to make sure NGROUPS_PER_BLOCK is unsigned.

2008-02-06Remove rcu_assign_pointer() penalty for NULL pointersPaul E. McKenney
The rcu_assign_pointer() primitive currently unconditionally executes a memory barrier, even when a NULL pointer is being assigned. This has lead some to avoid using rcu_assign_pointer() for NULL pointers, which loses the self-documenting advantages of rcu_assign_pointer() This patch uses __builtin_const_p() to omit needless memory barriers for NULL-pointer assignments at compile time with no runtime penalty, as discussed in the following thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg54852.html Tested on x86_64 and ppc64, also compiled the four cases (NULL/non-NULL and const/non-const) with gcc version 4.1.2, and hand-checked the assembly output.

2008-02-06Fix __const_udelay declaration and definition mismatchesJeff Dike
The declaration and implementation of __const_udelay use different names for the parameter on a number of architectures: include/asm-avr32/delay.h:15:extern void __const_udelay(unsigned long usecs); arch/avr32/lib/delay.c:39:inline void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops) include/asm-sh/delay.h:15:extern void __const_udelay(unsigned long usecs); arch/sh/lib/delay.c:22:inline void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops) include/asm-m32r/delay.h:15:extern void __const_udelay(unsigned long usecs); arch/m32r/lib/delay.c:58:void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops) include/asm-x86/delay.h:16:extern void __const_udelay(unsigned long usecs); arch/x86/lib/delay_32.c:82:inline void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops) arch/x86/lib/delay_64.c:46:inline void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops) The units of the parameter isn't usecs, so that name is definitely wrong. It's also not exactly loops, so I suppose xloops is an OK name. This patch changes these names from usecs to xloops.

2008-02-06get rid of NR_OPEN and introduce a sysctl_nr_openEric Dumazet
NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open more than 1024*1024 handles. Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process. Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential exhaust. This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to 1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload needs it.

2008-02-06inotify: send IN_ATTRIB events when link count changesJan Kara
Currently, no notification event has been sent when inode's link count changed. This is inconvenient for the application in some cases: Suppose you have the following directory structure foo/test bar/ and you watch test. If someone does "mv foo/test bar/", you get event IN_MOVE_SELF and you know something has happened with the file "test". However if someone does "ln foo/test bar/test" and "rm foo/test" you get no inotify event for the file "test" (only directories "foo" and "bar" receive events). Furthermore it could be argued that link count belongs to file's metadata and thus IN_ATTRIB should be sent when it changes. The following patch implements sending of IN_ATTRIB inotify events when link count of the inode changes, i.e., when a hardlink to the inode is created or when it is removed. This event is sent in addition to all the events sent so far. In particular, when a last link to a file is removed, IN_ATTRIB event is sent in addition to IN_DELETE_SELF event.
