2011-05-31ip_options_compile: properly handle unaligned pointerChris Metcalf
The current code takes an unaligned pointer and does htonl() on it to make it big-endian, then does a memcpy(). The problem is that the compiler decides that since the pointer is to a __be32, it is legal to optimize the copy into a processor word store. However, on an architecture that does not handled unaligned writes in kernel space, this produces an unaligned exception fault. The solution is to track the pointer as a "char *" (which removes a bunch of unpleasant casts in any case), and then just use put_unaligned_be32() to write the value to memory.

2011-05-31rcu: Cure load woesPeter Zijlstra
Commit cc3ce5176d83 (rcu: Start RCU kthreads in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state) fudges a sleeping task' state, resulting in the scheduler seeing a TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE task going to sleep, but a TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE task waking up. The result is unbalanced load calculation. The problem that patch tried to address is that the RCU threads could stay in UNINTERRUPTIBLE state for quite a while and triggering the hung task detector due to on-demand wake-ups. Cure the problem differently by always giving the tasks at least one wake-up once the CPU is fully up and running, this will kick them out of the initial UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and into the regular INTERRUPTIBLE wait state. [ The alternative would be teaching kthread_create() to start threads as INTERRUPTIBLE but that needs a tad more thought. ] Reported-by: Damien Wyart <damien.wyart@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul E.

2011-05-30batman-adv: Ensure that we really have route changes in update_routeSven Eckelmann
The debug output of update_route has tests for "route deleted" and "route added". All other situations are handled as "route changed".

2011-05-30batman-adv: Check type of x and y in seq_(before|after)Sven Eckelmann
seq_before and seq_after depend on the fact that both sequence numbers have the same type and thus the same bitwidth. We can ensure that by compile time checking using a compare between the pointer to the temporary buffers which were created using the typeof of both parameters.

2011-05-30batman-adv: Calculate sizeof using variable insead of typesSven Eckelmann
Documentation/CodingStyle recommends to use the form p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...); to calculate the size of a struct and not the version where the struct name is spelled out to prevent bugs when the type of p changes. This also seems appropriate for manipulation of buffers when they are directly associated with p. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

2011-05-30batman-adv: Only use int up and down gw representationSven Eckelmann

2011-05-30virtio: add api for delayed callbacksMichael S. Tsirkin
Add an API that tells the other side that callbacks should be delayed until a lot of work has been done. Implement using the new event_idx feature. Note: it might seem advantageous to let the drivers ask for a callback after a specific capacity has been reached. However, as a single head can free many entries in the descriptor table, we don't really have a clue about capacity until get_buf is called. The API is the simplest to implement at the moment, we'll see what kind of hints drivers can pass when there's more than one user of the feature. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2011-05-30virtio ring: inline function to check for eventsMichael S. Tsirkin
With the new used_event and avail_event and features, both host and guest need similar logic to check whether events are enabled, so it helps to put the common code in the header. Note that Xen has similar logic for notification hold-off in include/xen/interface/io/ring.h with req_event and req_prod corresponding to event_idx + 1 and new_idx respectively. +1 comes from the fact that req_event and req_prod in Xen start at 1, while event index in virtio starts at 0.

2011-05-30virtio balloon: kill tell-host-first logicDave Hansen
The virtio balloon driver has a VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST feature bit. Whenever the bit is set, the guest kernel must always tell the host before we free pages back to the allocator. Without this feature, we might free a page (and have another user touch it) while the hypervisor is unprepared for it. But, if the bit is _not_ set, we are under no obligation to reverse the order; we're under no obligation to do _anything_. As of now, qemu-kvm defines the bit, but doesn't set it. This patch makes the "tell host first" logic the only case. This should make everybody happy, and reduce the amount of untested or untestable code in the kernel. This _also_ means that we don't have to preserve a pfn list after the pages are freed, which should let us get rid of some temporary storage (vb->pfns) eventually.
