2009-12-22kfifo: fix warn_unused_resultStefani Seibold
Fix the "ignoring return value of '...', declared with attribute warn_unused_result" compiler warning in several users of the new kfifo API. It removes the __must_check attribute from kfifo_in() and kfifo_in_locked() which must not necessary performed. Fix the allocation bug in the nozomi driver file, by moving out the kfifo_alloc from the interrupt handler into the probe function. Fix the kfifo_out() and kfifo_out_locked() users to handle a unexpected end of fifo.

2009-12-22kfifo: move out spinlockStefani Seibold
Move the pointer to the spinlock out of struct kfifo. Most users in tree do not actually use a spinlock, so the few exceptions now have to call kfifo_{get,put}_locked, which takes an extra argument to a spinlock.

2009-12-22kfifo: move struct kfifo in placeStefani Seibold
This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation. The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it. FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory resources. I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use: - The API is to simple, important functions are missing - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not - There is no support for data records inside a fifo So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up the API to much. The new API has the following benefits: - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver. - Provide an API for the most use case. - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions. - Linux style habit. - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo. - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator. - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo, which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary. - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if one is required. - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported: - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size field of 1 bytes. - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size field of 2 bytes. - Fixed size records, which no record size field. - Preserve memory resource. - Performance! - Easy to use! This patch: Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object, reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

2009-12-16efirtc: explicitly set llseek to no_llseekJohn Kacur
Now that we've removed the BKL here, let's explicitly set llseek to no_llseek since the default llseek is not used here. The default_llseek function still contains the BKL. When we are auditing code to see if we can remove the BKL, this is one of the hidden considerations we need to take into account. i.e., is there syncronization between code that has the BKL and llseek. At the same time we remove the BKL it would be a good idea to do indicate when no llseek function is required, so we don't have to revisit this code again, when we are trying to determine if we can remove the BKL from the default_llseek.

2009-12-16oom-kill: fix NUMA constraint check with nodemaskKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Fix node-oriented allocation handling in oom-kill.c I myself think of this as a bugfix not as an ehnancement. In these days, things are changed as - alloc_pages() eats nodemask as its arguments, __alloc_pages_nodemask(). - mempolicy don't maintain its own private zonelists. (And cpuset doesn't use nodemask for __alloc_pages_nodemask()) So, current oom-killer's check function is wrong. This patch does - check nodemask, if nodemask && nodemask doesn't cover all node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], this is CONSTRAINT_MEMORY_POLICY. - Scan all zonelist under nodemask, if it hits cpuset's wall this faiulre is from cpuset. And - modifies the caller of out_of_memory not to call oom if __GFP_THISNODE. This doesn't change "current" behavior. If callers use __GFP_THISNODE it should handle "page allocation failure" by itself. - handle __GFP_NOFAIL+__GFP_THISNODE path. This is something like a FIXME but this gfpmask is not used now.

2009-12-15vt: introduce and use vt_kmsg_redirect() functionBernhard Walle
The kernel offers with TIOCL_GETKMSGREDIRECT ioctl() the possibility to redirect the kernel messages to a specific console. However, since it's not possible to switch to the kernel message console after a panic(), it would be nice if the kernel would print the panic message on the current console. This patch series adds a new interface to access the global kmsg_redirect variable by a function to be able to use it in code where CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set (kernel/panic.c). This patch: Instead of using and exporting a global value kmsg_redirect, introduce a function vt_kmsg_redirect() that both can set and return the console where messages are printed. Change all users of kmsg_redirect (the VT code itself and kernel/power.c) to the new interface. The main advantage is that vt_kmsg_redirect() can also be used when CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set.

2009-12-11nvram: Fix write beyond end condition; prove to gcc copy is safeH. Peter Anvin
In nvram_write, first of all, correctly handle the case where the file pointer is already beyond the end; we should return EOF in that case. Second, make the logic a bit more explicit so that gcc can statically prove that the copy_from_user() is safe. Once the condition of the beyond-end filepointer is eliminated, the copy is safe but gcc can't prove it, causing build failures for i386 allyesconfig. Third, eliminate the entirely superfluous variable "len", and just use the passed-in variable "count" instead. Signed-off-by: H.

2009-12-11tty: split the lock up a bit furtherAlan Cox
The tty count sanity check may need the BKL, that isn't clear. However it is clear that the count use of the lock is internal and independant of the bigger use of the lock. Furthermore the file list locking is also separately locked already Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-12-11tty: Move the leader test in disassociateAlan Cox
There are two call points, both want to check that tty->signal->leader is set. Move the test into disassociate_ctty() as that will make locking changes easier in a bit Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2009-12-11tty: moxa: split open lockAlan Cox
moxa_openlock is used for several situations where we want to handle the case of an ioctl that crosses many ports (not just the open tty), and also cases where an open races a deinit (eg a pci unplug) and we hangup a port before we can cope with that. The non open race cases can use the moxa_lock spinlock. This simplifies sorting out the remaining mess.

2009-12-11tty: moxa: Locking clean upAlan Cox
- The open lock is needed to fix up the case of a board reset occuring during tty open but too early for a sane hangup response. - The lock can however got for other cases - Use the port mutex for get/setserial - Fix up the confused lack of locking on the THROTTLE and other bits in the private flags. Just use set/test/clear bit and it covers the cases we need Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
