2005-11-09[PATCH] md: improvements to raid5 handling of read errorsNeilBrown
Two refinements to the 'attempt-overwrite-on-read-error' mechanism. 1/ If the array is read-only, don't attempt an over-write. 2/ If there are more than max_nr_stripes read errors on a device with no success, fail the drive. This will make sure a dead drive will be eventually kicked even when we aren't trying to rewrite (which would normally kick a dead drive more quickly.

2005-11-09[PATCH] md: extend md sysfs support to component devices.NeilBrown
Each device in an md array how has a corresponding /sys/block/mdX/md/devNN/ directory which can contain attributes. Currently there is only 'state' which summarises the state, nd 'super' which has a copy of the superblock, and 'block' which is a symlink to the block device. Also, /sys/block/mdX/md/rdNN represents slot 'NN' in the array, and is a symlink to the relevant 'devNN'. Obviously spare devices do not have a slot in the array, and so don't have such a symlink.

2005-11-09[PATCH] md: better handling of readerrors with raid5.NeilBrown
This patch changes the behaviour of raid5 when it gets a read error. Instead of just failing the device, it tried to find out what should have been there, and writes it over the bad block. For some media-errors, this has a reasonable chance of fixing the error. If the write succeeds, and a subsequent read succeeds as well, raid5 decided the address is OK and conitnues. Instead of failing a drive on read-error, we attempt to re-write the block, and then re-read. If that all works, we allow the device to remain in the array.

2005-11-09[PATCH] fbcon: Console Rotation - Add ability to control rotation via sysfsAntonino A. Daplas
Add ability to set rotation via sysfs. The attributes are located in /sys/class/graphics/fb[n] and accepts 0 - unrotated; 1 - clockwise; 2 - upside down; 3 - counterclockwise. The attributes are: con_rotate (r/w) - set rotation of the active console con_rotate_all (w) - set rotation of all consoles rotate (r/w) - set rotation of the framebuffer, if supported. Currently, none of the drivers support this. This is probably temporary, since con_rotate and con_rotate_all are console-specific and has no business being under the fb device. However, until the console layer acquires it's own sysfs class, these attributes will temporarily reside here.

2005-11-09[PATCH] fbcon: Console Rotation - Prepare fbcon for console rotationAntonino A. Daplas
This patch series implements generic code to rotate the console at 90, 180, and 270 degrees. The implementation is completely done in the framebuffer console level, thus no changes to the framebuffer layer or to the drivers are needed. Console rotation is required by some Sharp-based devices where the natural orientation of the display is not at 0 degrees. Also, users that have displays that can pivot will benefit by having a console in portrait mode if they so desire. The choice to implement the code in the console layer rather than in the framebuffer layer is due to the following reasons: - it's fast - it does not require driver changes - it can coexist with devices that can rotate the display at the hardware level - it complements graphics applications that can do display rotation The changes to core fbcon are minimal-- recognition of the console rotation angle so it can swap directions, origins and axes (xres vs yres, xpanstep vs ypanstep, xoffset vs yoffset, etc) and storage of the rotation angle per display. The bulk of the code that does the actual drawing to the screen are placed in separate files. Each angle of rotation has separate methods (bmove, clear, putcs, cursor, update_start which is derived from update_var, and clear_margins). To mimimize processing time, the fontdata are pre-rotated at each console switch (only if the font or the angle has changed). The option can be compiled out (CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION = n) if rotation is not needed. Choosing the rotation angle can be done in several ways: 1. boot option fbcon=rotate:n, where n = 0 - normal n = 1 - 90 degrees (clockwise) n = 2 - 180 degrees (upside down) n = 3 - 270 degrees (counterclockwise) 2. echo n > /sys/class/graphics/fb[num]/con_rotate where n is the same as described above. It sets the angle of rotation of the current console 3 echo n > /sys/class/graphics/fb[num]/con_rotate_all where n is the same as described above. Globally sets the angle of rotation. GOTCHAS: The option, especially at angles of 90 and 270 degrees, will exercise the least used code of drivers. Namely, at these angles, panning is done in the x-axis, so it can reveal bugs in the driver if xpanstep is set incorrectly. A workaround is to set xpanstep = 0. Secondly, at these angles, the framebuffer memory access can be unaligned if (fontheight * bpp) % 32 ~= 0 which can reveal bugs in the drivers imageblit, fillrect and copyarea functions. (I think cfbfillrect may have this buglet). A workaround is to use a standard 8x16 font. Speed: The scrolling speed difference between 0 and 180 degrees is minimal, somewhere areound 1-2%. At 90 or 270 degress, speed drops down to a vicinity of 30-40%. This is understandable because the blit direction is across the framebuffer "direction." Scrolling will be helped at these angles if xpanstep is not equal to zero, use of 8x16 fonts, and setting xres_virtual >= xres * 2. Note: The code is tested on little-endian only, so I don't know if it will work in big-endian. Please let me know, it will take only less than a minute of your time. This patch prepares fbcon for console rotation and contains the following changes: - add rotate field in struct fbcon_ops to keep fbcon's current rotation angle - add con_rotate field in struct display to store per-display rotation angle - create a private copy of the current var to fbcon. This will prevent fbcon from directly manipulating info->var, especially the fields xoffset, yoffset and vmode. - add ability to swap pertinent axes (xres, yres; xpanstep, ypanstep; etc) depending on the rotation angle - change global update_var() (function that sets the screen start address) as an fbcon method update_start. This is required because the axes, start offset, and/or direction can be reversed depending on the rotation angle. - add fbcon method rotate_font() which will rotate each character bitmap to the correct angle of rotation. - add fbcon boot option 'rotate' to select the angle of rotation at bootime.

2005-11-09[PATCH] sanitize lookup_hash prototypeChristoph Hellwig
->permission and ->lookup have a struct nameidata * argument these days to pass down lookup intents. Unfortunately some callers of lookup_hash don't actually pass this one down. For lookup_one_len() we don't have a struct nameidata to pass down, but as this function is a library function only used by filesystem code this is an acceptable limitation. All other callers should pass down the nameidata, so this patch changes the lookup_hash interface to only take a struct nameidata argument and derives the other two arguments to __lookup_hash from it. All callers already have the nameidata argument available so this is not a problem. At the same time I'd like to deprecate the lookup_hash interface as there are better exported interfaces for filesystem usage. Before it can actually be removed I need to fix up rpc_pipefs.

An unbindable mount does not forward or receive propagation. Also unbindable mount disallows bind mounts. The semantics is as follows. Bind semantics: It is invalid to bind mount an unbindable mount. Move semantics: It is invalid to move an unbindable mount under shared mount. Clone-namespace semantics: If a mount is unbindable in the parent namespace, the corresponding cloned mount in the child namespace becomes unbindable too. Note: there is subtle difference, unbindable mounts cannot be bind mounted but can be cloned during clone-namespace.

2005-11-07[PATCH] saner handling of auto_acct_off() and DQUOT_OFF() in umountAl Viro
The way we currently deal with quota and process accounting that might keep vfsmount busy at umount time is inherently broken; we try to turn them off just in case (not quite correctly, at that) and a) pray umount doesn't fail (otherwise they'll stay turned off) b) pray nobody doesn anything funny just as we turn quota off Moreover, LSM provides hooks for doing the same sort of broken logics. The proper way to deal with that is to introduce the second kind of reference to vfsmount. Semantics: - when the last normal reference is dropped, all special ones are converted to normal ones and if there had been any, cleanup is done. - normal reference can be cloned into a special one - special reference can be converted to normal one; that's a no-op if we'd already passed the point of no return (i.e. mntput() had converted special references to normal and started cleanup). The way it works: e.g. starting process accounting converts the vfsmount reference pinned by the opened file into special one and turns it back to normal when it gets shut down; acct_auto_close() is done when no normal references are left. That way it does *not* obstruct umount(2) and it silently gets turned off when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone. Which is exactly what we want... The same should be done by LSM module that holds some internal references to vfsmount and wants to shut them down on umount - it should make them special and security_sb_umount_close() will be called exactly when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone. quota handling is even simpler - we don't use normal file IO anymore, so there's no need to hold vfsmounts at all. DQUOT_OFF() is done from deactivate_super(), where it really belongs. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-11-07[PATCH] drivers/pnp/: cleanupsAdrian Bunk
This patch contains the following possible cleanups: - make needlessly global code static - #if 0 the following unused global function: - core.c: pnp_remove_device - #if 0 the following unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL's: - card.c: pnp_add_card - card.c: pnp_remove_card - card.c: pnp_add_card_device - card.c: pnp_remove_card_device - card.c: pnp_add_card_id - core.c: pnp_register_protocol - core.c: pnp_unregister_protocol - core.c: pnp_add_device - core.c: pnp_remove_device - pnpacpi/core.c: pnpacpi_protocol - driver.c: pnp_add_id - isapnp/core.c: isapnp_read_byte - manager.c: pnp_auto_config_dev - resource.c: pnp_register_dependent_option - resource.c: pnp_register_independent_option - resource.c: pnp_register_irq_resource - resource.c: pnp_register_dma_resource - resource.c: pnp_register_port_resource - resource.c: pnp_register_mem_resource Note that this patch #if 0's exactly one functions and removes no functions. Most it does is the #if 0 of EXPORT_SYMBOL's, so if any modular code will use any of them, re-adding will be trivial. Modular ISAPnP might be interesting in some cases, but this is more legacy code. If someone would work on it to sort all the issues out (starting with the point that most users of __ISAPNP__ will have to be fixed) re-enabling the required EXPORT_SYMBOL's won't be hard for him.

2005-11-07[PATCH] __deprecated_for_modules: panic_timeoutAdrian Bunk
This looks like something which out-of-tree code could possibly be using. Give panic_timeout the twelve-month treatment. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
