2006-10-03[PATCH] md: new sysfs interface for setting bits in the write-intent-bitmapPaul Clements
Add a new sysfs interface that allows the bitmap of an array to be dirtied. The interface is write-only, and is used as follows: echo "1000" > /sys/block/md2/md/bitmap (dirty the bit for chunk 1000 [offset 0] in the in-memory and on-disk bitmaps of array md2) echo "1000-2000" > /sys/block/md1/md/bitmap (dirty the bits for chunks 1000-2000 in md1's bitmap) This is useful, for example, in cluster environments where you may need to combine two disjoint bitmaps into one (following a server failure, after a secondary server has taken over the array). By combining the bitmaps on the two servers, a full resync can be avoided (This was discussed on the list back on March 18, 2005, "[PATCH 1/2] md bitmap bug fixes" thread).

2006-10-03[PATCH] md: replace magic numbers in sb_dirty with well defined bit flagsNeilBrown
Instead of magic numbers (0,1,2,3) in sb_dirty, we have some flags instead: MD_CHANGE_DEVS Some device state has changed requiring superblock update on all devices. MD_CHANGE_CLEAN The array has transitions from 'clean' to 'dirty' or back, requiring a superblock update on active devices, but possibly not on spares MD_CHANGE_PENDING A superblock update is underway. We wait for an update to complete by waiting for all flags to be clear. A flag can be set at any time, even during an update, without risk that the change will be lost. Stop exporting md_update_sb - isn't needed. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-10-03[PATCH] ide: Fix crash on repeated resetAlan Cox
Michal Miroslaw reported a problem (bugzilla #7023) where a user initiated reset while the IDE layer was already resetting the channel caused a crash, and provided a rough fix. This is a slightly cleaner version of the fix which tracks the reset state and blocks further reset requests while a reset is in progress.

2006-10-03[PATCH] sched: cleanup sched_group cpu_power setupSiddha, Suresh B
Up to now sched group's cpu_power for each sched domain is initialized independently. This made the setup code ugly as the new sched domains are getting added. Make the sched group cpu_power setup code generic, by using domain child field and new domain flag in sched_domain. For most of the sched domains(except NUMA), sched group's cpu_power is now computed generically using the domain properties of itself and of the child domain. sched groups in NUMA domains are setup little differently and hence they don't use this generic mechanism.

2006-10-03[PATCH] restore parport_pc probing on powermacOlaf Hering
The last change for partport_pc did fix the common case for all PowerMacs, but it broke the case for PCI multiport IO cards. In fact, the config option CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO=y lead to a hard crash when cups probed the parport driver. It enables the winbond and smsc probing. Remove the PARPORT_BASE check again, parport_pc_find_nonpci_ports() will take care of it. All powerpc configs should have CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO=n, the code did not find anything on the chrp boards we tested it on.

2006-10-03[PATCH] Create kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()Franck Bui-Huu
Some uses of kallsyms_lookup() do not need to find out the name of a symbol and its module's name it belongs. This is specially true in arch specific code, which needs to unwind the stack to show the back trace during oops (mips is an example). In this specific case, we just need to retreive the function's size and the offset of the active intruction inside it. Adds a new entry "kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()" This new entry does exactly the same as kallsyms_lookup() but does not require any buffers to store any names. It returns 0 if it fails otherwise 1.

2006-10-03[PATCH] VFS: Make filldir_t and struct kstat deal in 64-bit inode numbersDavid Howells
These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system. They are required because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS for example. The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace automatically where the arch supports it. Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and so overlaps occur. This patch: Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace. The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where available and where possible. If it is not possible to represent the inode number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then error EOVERFLOW will be issued. Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented. Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to. Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a 32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the same reasons. It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.

2006-10-02[PATCH] replace cad_pid by a struct pidCedric Le Goater
There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled. The ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them. It kills a task, usually init, using a cached pid (cad_pid). This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around problem. The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be modified through systctl with /proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid [ I haven't found any distro using it ? ] It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.

The last in-kernel user of errno is gone, so we should remove the definition and everything referring to it. This also removes the now-unused lib/execve.c file that was introduced earlier. Also remove every trace of __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ that still remained in the kernel.

2006-10-02[PATCH] rename the provided execve functions to kernel_execveArnd Bergmann
Some architectures provide an execve function that does not set errno, but instead returns the result code directly. Rename these to kernel_execve to get the right semantics there. Moreover, there is no reasone for any of these architectures to still provide __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ or _syscallN macros, so remove these right away.

2006-10-02[PATCH] namespaces: incorporate fs namespace into nsproxySerge E. Hallyn
This moves the mount namespace into the nsproxy. The mount namespace count now refers to the number of nsproxies point to it, rather than the number of tasks. As a result, the unshare_namespace() function in kernel/fork.c no longer checks whether it is being shared.

This patch adds a nsproxy structure to the task struct. Later patches will move the fs namespace pointer into this structure, and introduce a new utsname namespace into the nsproxy. The vserver and openvz functionality, then, would be implemented in large part by virtualizing/isolating more and more resources into namespaces, each contained in the nsproxy.
