2009-02-23cipso: Fix documentation commentPaul Moore
The CIPSO protocol engine incorrectly stated that the FIPS-188 specification could be found in the kernel's Documentation directory. This patch corrects that by removing the comment and directing users to the FIPS-188 documented hosted online. For the sake of completeness I've also included a link to the CIPSO draft specification on the NetLabel website. Thanks to Randy Dunlap for spotting the error and letting me know.

2009-02-22docbook: split kernel-api for device-driversRandy Dunlap
The kernel-api docbook was much larger than any of the others, so processing it took longer and needed some docbook extras in some cases, so split it into kernel-api (infrastructure etc.) and device drivers/device subsystems. This allows these docbooks to be generated in parallel. (This reduced the docbook processing time on my 4-proc system with make -j4 from about 5min:16sec to about 2min:01sec.)

2009-02-22x86: Add IRQF_TIMER to legacy x86 timer interrupt descriptorsLinus Torvalds
Right now nobody cares, but the suspend/resume code will eventually want to suspend device interrupts without suspending the timer, and will depend on this flag to know. The modern x86 timer infrastructure uses the local APIC timers and never shows up as a device interrupt at all, so it isn't affected and doesn't need any of this. Cc: Rafael J.

Remove CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM. It was always set the same as CONFIG_ACPI, and it had no menu label, so there was no way to set it to anything other than "y". Some things under CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM (acpi_irq_handled, acpi_os_gpe_count(), event_is_open, register_acpi_notifier(), etc.) are used unconditionally by the CA, the OSPM, and drivers, so we depend on them always being present.

2009-02-21fujitsu-laptop: Use RFKILL support bitmask from firmwareTony Vroon
Up until now, we polled the rfkill status for every incoming FUJ02E3 ACPI event. It turns out that the firmware has a bitmask which indicates what rfkill-related state it can report. The rfkill_supported bitmask is now used to avoid polling for rfkill at all in the notification handler if there is no support. Also, it is used in the platform device callbacks. As before we register all callbacks and report "unknown" if the firmware does not give us status updates for that particular bit. This was fed through checkpatch.pl and tested on the S6420, S7020 and P8010 platforms.

As acpi_enter_sleep_state can fail, take this into account in do_suspend_lowlevel and don't return to the do_suspend_lowlevel's caller. This would break (currently) fpu status and preempt count. Technically, this means use `call' instead of `jmp' and `jmp' to the `resume_point' after the `call' (i.e. if acpi_enter_sleep_state returns=fails). `resume_point' will handle the restore of fpu and preempt count gracefully.

2009-02-21PM: Fix suspend_console and resume_console to use only one semaphoreArve Hjønnevåg
This fixes a race where a thread acquires the console while the console is suspended, and the console is resumed before this thread releases it. In this case, the secondary console semaphore would be left locked, and the primary semaphore would be released twice. This in turn would cause the console switch on suspend or resume to hang forever. Note that suspend_console does not actually lock the console for clients that use acquire_console_sem, it only locks it for clients that use try_acquire_console_sem. If we change suspend_console to fully lock the console, then the kernel may deadlock on suspend. One client of try_acquire_console_sem is acquire_console_semaphore_for_printk, which uses it to prevent printk from using the console while it is suspended.

2009-02-21PM/hibernate: fix "swap breaks after hibernation failures"Alan Jenkins
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12239 The image writing code dropped a reference to the current swap device. This doesn't show up if the hibernation succeeds - because it doesn't affect the image which gets resumed. But it means multiple _failed_ hibernations end up freeing the swap device while it is still use! swsusp_write() finds the block device for the swap file using swap_type_of(). It then uses blkdev_get() / blkdev_put() to open and close the block device. Unfortunately, blkdev_get() assumes ownership of the inode of the block_device passed to it. So blkdev_put() calls iput() on the inode. This is by design and other callers expect this behaviour. The fix is for swap_type_of() to take a reference on the inode using bdget().

2009-02-21[CIFS] Fix multiuser mounts so server does not invalidate earlier security ↵Steve French
contexts When two different users mount the same Windows 2003 Server share using CIFS, the first session mounted can be invalidated. Some servers invalidate the first smb session when a second similar user (e.g. two users who get mapped by server to "guest") authenticates an smb session from the same client. By making sure that we set the 2nd and subsequent vc numbers to nonzero values, this ensures that we will not have this problem. Fixes Samba bug 6004, problem description follows: How to reproduce: - configure an "open share" (full permissions to Guest user) on Windows 2003 Server (I couldn't reproduce the problem with Samba server or Windows older than 2003) - mount the share twice with different users who will be authenticated as guest. noacl,noperm,user=john,dir_mode=0700,domain=DOMAIN,rw noacl,noperm,user=jeff,dir_mode=0700,domain=DOMAIN,rw Result: - just the mount point mounted last is accessible: Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
2009-02-21[CIFS] improve posix semantics of file createSteve French
Samba server added support for a new posix open/create/mkdir operation a year or so ago, and we added support to cifs for mkdir to use it, but had not added the corresponding code to file create. The following patch helps improve the performance of the cifs create path (to Samba and servers which support the cifs posix protocol extensions). Using Connectathon basic test1, with 2000 files, the performance improved about 15%, and also helped reduce network traffic (17% fewer SMBs sent over the wire) due to saving a network round trip for the SetPathInfo on every file create. It should also help the semantics (and probably the performance) of write (e.g. when posix byte range locks are on the file) on file handles opened with posix create, and adds support for a few flags which would have to be ignored otherwise.

2009-02-208250: fix boot hang with serial console when using with Serial Over Lan portMauro Carvalho Chehab
Intel 8257x Ethernet boards have a feature called Serial Over Lan. This feature works by emulating a serial port, and it is detected by kernel as a normal 8250 port. However, this emulation is not perfect, as also noticed on changeset 7500b1f602aad75901774a67a687ee985d85893f. Before this patch, the kernel were trying to check if the serial TX is capable of work using IRQ's. This were done with a code similar this: serial_outp(up, UART_IER, UART_IER_THRI); lsr = serial_in(up, UART_LSR); iir = serial_in(up, UART_IIR); serial_outp(up, UART_IER, 0); if (lsr & UART_LSR_TEMT && iir & UART_IIR_NO_INT) up->bugs |= UART_BUG_TXEN; This works fine for other 8250 ports, but, on 8250-emulated SoL port, the chip is a little lazy to down UART_IIR_NO_INT at UART_IIR register. Due to that, UART_BUG_TXEN is sometimes enabled. However, as TX IRQ keeps working, and the TX polling is now enabled, the driver miss-interprets the IRQ received later, hanging up the machine until a key is pressed at the serial console. This is the 6 version of this patch. Previous versions were trying to introduce a large enough delay between serial_outp and serial_in(up, UART_IIR), but not taking forever. However, the needed delay couldn't be safely determined. At the experimental tests, a delay of 1us solves most of the cases, but still hangs sometimes. Increasing the delay to 5us was better, but still doesn't solve. A very high delay of 50 ms seemed to work every time. However, poking around with delays and pray for it to be enough doesn't seem to be a good approach, even for a quirk. So, instead of playing with random large arbitrary delays, let's just disable UART_BUG_TXEN for all SoL ports.

2009-02-20vmalloc: call flush_cache_vunmap() from unmap_kernel_range()Tejun Heo
Impact: proper vcache flush on unmap_kernel_range() flush_cache_vunmap() should be called before pages are unmapped. Add a call to it in unmap_kernel_range().

2009-02-20cpuset: various documentation fixes and updatesLi Zefan
I noticed the old commit 8f5aa26c75b7722e80c0c5c5bb833d41865d7019 ("cpusets: update_cpumask documentation fix") is not a complete fix, resulting in inconsistent paragraphs. This patch fixes it and does other fixes and updates: - s/migrate_all_tasks()/migrate_live_tasks()/ - describe more cpuset control files - s/cpumask_t/struct cpumask/ - document cpu hotplug and change of 'sched_relax_domain_level' may cause domain rebuild - document various ways to query and modify cpusets - the equivalent of "mount -t cpuset" is "mount -t cgroup -o cpuset,noprefix" Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Cc: Paul Menage <menage@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The "break" would just result in reusing a free'd pointer.
