2009-05-09Fix races around the access to ->s_optionsAl Viro
Put generic_show_options read access to s_options under rcu_read_lock, split save_mount_options() into "we are setting it the first time" (uses in foo_fill_super()) and "we are relacing and freeing the old one", synchronize_rcu() before kfree() in the latter.

2009-05-09New helper: deactivate_locked_super()Al Viro
Does equivalent of up_write(&s->s_umount); deactivate_super(s); However, it does not does not unlock it until it's all over. As the result, it's safe to use to dispose of new superblock on ->get_sb() failure exits - nobody will see the sucker until it's all over. Equivalent using up_write/deactivate_super is safe for that purpose if superblock is either safe to use or has NULL ->s_root when we unlock. Normally filesystems take the required precautions, but a) we do have bugs in that area in some of them. b) up_write/deactivate_super sequence is extremely common, so the helper makes sense anyway.

2009-05-09reiserfs: remove privroot hiding in lookupJeff Mahoney
With Al Viro's patch to move privroot lookup to fs mount, there's no need to have special code to hide the privroot in reiserfs_lookup. I've also cleaned up the privroot hiding in reiserfs_readdir_dentry and removed the last user of reiserfs_xattrs().

2009-05-09reiserfs: fixup xattr_root cachingJeff Mahoney
The xattr_root caching was broken from my previous patch set. It wouldn't cause corruption, but could cause decreased performance due to allocating a larger chunk of the journal (~ 27 blocks) than it would actually use. This patch loads the xattr root dentry at xattr initialization and creates it on-demand. Since we're using the cached dentry, there's no point in keeping lookup_or_create_dir around, so that's removed.

2009-05-08Revert driver core: move platform_data into platform_deviceGreg Kroah-Hartman
This reverts commit 006f4571a15fae3a0575f2a0f9e9b63b3d1012f8: This patch moves platform_data from struct device into struct platform_device, based on the two ideas: 1. Now all platform_driver is registered by platform_driver_register, which makes probe()/release()/... of platform_driver passed parameter of platform_device *, so platform driver can get platform_data from platform_device; 2. Other kind of devices do not need to use platform_data, we can decrease size of device if moving it to platform_device. Taking into consideration of thousands of files to be fixed and they can't be finished in one night(maybe it will take a long time), so we keep platform_data in device to allow two kind of cases coexist until all platform devices pass its platfrom data from platform_device->platform_data. All patches to do this kind of conversion are welcome. As we don't really want to do it, it was a bad idea.

2009-05-06mac80211: tell driver when idleJohannes Berg
When we aren't doing anything in mac80211, we can turn off much of the hardware, depending on the driver/hw. Not doing anything, aka being idle, means: * no monitor interfaces * no AP/mesh/wds interfaces * any station interfaces are in DISABLED state * any IBSS interfaces aren't trying to be in a network * we aren't trying to scan By creating a new function that verifies these conditions and calling it at strategic points where the states of those conditions change, we can easily make mac80211 tell the driver when we are idle to save power. Additionally, this fixes a small quirk where a recalculated powersave state is passed to the driver even if the hardware is about to stopped completely. This patch intentionally doesn't touch radio_enabled because that is currently implemented to be a soft rfkill which is inappropriate here when we need to be able to wake up with low latency. One thing I'm not entirely sure about is this: phy0: device no longer idle - in use wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d try 1 wlan0 direct probe responded wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d wlan0: authenticated > phy0: device now idle > phy0: device no longer idle - in use wlan0: associate with AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:11:24:91:07:4d (capab=0x401 status=0 aid=1) wlan0: associated Is it appropriate to go into idle state for a short time when we have just authenticated, but not associated yet? This happens only with the userspace SME, because we cannot really know how long it will wait before asking us to associate. Would going idle after a short timeout be more appropriate? We may need to revisit this, depending on what happens. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-05-06mac80211: unify config_interface and bss_info_changedJohannes Berg

2009-05-06mac80211: clean up beacon interval settingsJohannes Berg
We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs: hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is rather confusing, even though the former is used when we beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to an AP. This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily. NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all drivers, some are updated in this patch.

The list is a replacement for the original dev_addr field and because in some situations there is need to carry several device addresses with the net device. To be backward compatible, dev_addr is made to point to the first member of the list so original drivers sees no difference. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-05-05netfilter: xt_cluster: fix use of cluster match with 32 nodesPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch fixes a problem when you use 32 nodes in the cluster match: % iptables -I PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth0 -m cluster \ --cluster-total-nodes 32 --cluster-local-node 32 \ --cluster-hash-seed 0xdeadbeef -j MARK --set-mark 0xffff iptables: Invalid argument. Run `dmesg' for more information. % dmesg | tail -1 xt_cluster: this node mask cannot be higher than the total number of nodes The problem is related to this checking: if (info->node_mask >= (1 << info->total_nodes)) { printk(KERN_ERR "xt_cluster: this node mask cannot be " "higher than the total number of nodes\n"); return false; } (1 << 32) is 1. Thus, the checking fails. BTW, I said this before but I insist: I have only tested the cluster match with 2 nodes getting ~45% extra performance in an active-active setup. The maximum limit of 32 nodes is still completely arbitrary. I'd really appreciate if people that have more nodes in their setups let me know.

2009-05-04Bluetooth: Fix issue with sysfs handling for connectionsMarcel Holtmann
Due to a semantic changes in flush_workqueue() the current approach of synchronizing the sysfs handling for connections doesn't work anymore. The whole approach is actually fully broken and based on assumptions that are no longer valid. With the introduction of Simple Pairing support, the creation of low-level ACL links got changed. This change invalidates the reason why in the past two independent work queues have been used for adding/removing sysfs devices. The adding of the actual sysfs device is now postponed until the host controller successfully assigns an unique handle to that link. So the real synchronization happens inside the controller and not the host. The only left-over problem is that some internals of the sysfs device handling are not initialized ahead of time. This leaves potential access to invalid data and can cause various NULL pointer dereferences. To fix this a new function makes sure that all sysfs details are initialized when an connection attempt is made. The actual sysfs device is only registered when the connection has been successfully established. To avoid a race condition with the registration, the check if a device is registered has been moved into the removal work. As an extra protection two flush_work() calls are left in place to make sure a previous add/del work has been completed first.

This introduces a CDC Ethernet Emulation Model (EEM) host side driver to support USB EEM devices. EEM is different from the Ethernet Control Model (ECM) currently supported by the "CDC Ethernet" driver. One key difference is that it doesn't require of USB interface alternate settings to manage interface state; some maldesigned hardware can't handle that part of USB. It also avoids a separate USB interface for control and status updates.

2009-04-28netfilter: revised locking for x_tablesStephen Hemminger
The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of the necessary RCU grace period. This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.
