2011-05-14fs: remove FS_COW_FLLi Zefan
FS_COW_FL and FS_NOCOW_FL were newly introduced to control per file COW in btrfs, but FS_NOCOW_FL is sufficient. The fact is we don't have corresponding BTRFS_INODE_COW flag. COW is default, and FS_NOCOW_FL can be used to switch off COW for a single file. If we mount btrfs with nodatacow, a newly created file will be set with the FS_NOCOW_FL flag. So to turn on COW for it, we can just clear the FS_NOCOW_FL flag. Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2011-05-14pata_cm64x: fix boot crash on pariscJames Bottomley
The old IDE cmd64x checks the status of the CNTRL register to see if the ports are enabled before probing them. pata_cmd64x doesn't do this, which causes a HPMC on parisc when it tries to poke at the secondary port because apparently the BAR isn't wired up (and a non-responding piece of memory causes a HPMC). Fix this by porting the CNTRL register port detection logic from IDE cmd64x. In addition, following converns from Alan Cox, add a check to see if a mobility electronics bridge is the immediate parent and forgo the check if it is (prevents problems on hotplug controllers).

The n_tracerouter and n_tracesink line discpline drivers use the Linux tty line discpline framework to route trace data coming from a tty port (say UART for example) to the trace sink line discipline driver and to another tty port(say USB).

The PTI (Parallel Trace Interface) driver directs trace data routed from various parts in the system out through an Intel Penwell PTI port and out of the mobile device for analysis with a debugging tool (Lauterbach or Fido). Though n_tracesink and n_tracerouter line discipline drivers are used to extract modem tracing data to the PTI driver and other parts of an Intel mobile solution, the PTI driver can be used independent of n_tracesink and n_tracerouter.

2011-05-13sysfs: remove "last sysfs file:" line from the oops messagesGreg Kroah-Hartman
On some arches (x86, sh, arm, unicore, powerpc) the oops message would print out the last sysfs file accessed. This was very useful in finding a number of sysfs and driver core bugs in the 2.5 and early 2.6 development days, but it has been a number of years since this file has actually helped in debugging anything that couldn't also be trivially determined from the stack traceback. So it's time to delete the line. This is good as we need all the space we can get for oops messages at times on consoles.

2011-05-13net: ipv4: add IPPROTO_ICMP socket kindVasiliy Kulikov
This patch adds IPPROTO_ICMP socket kind. It makes it possible to send ICMP_ECHO messages and receive the corresponding ICMP_ECHOREPLY messages without any special privileges. In other words, the patch makes it possible to implement setuid-less and CAP_NET_RAW-less /bin/ping. In order not to increase the kernel's attack surface, the new functionality is disabled by default, but is enabled at bootup by supporting Linux distributions, optionally with restriction to a group or a group range (see below). Similar functionality is implemented in Mac OS X: http://www.manpagez.com/man/4/icmp/ A new ping socket is created with socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, PROT_ICMP) Message identifiers (octets 4-5 of ICMP header) are interpreted as local ports. Addresses are stored in struct sockaddr_in. No port numbers are reserved for privileged processes, port 0 is reserved for API ("let the kernel pick a free number"). There is no notion of remote ports, remote port numbers provided by the user (e.g. in connect()) are ignored. Data sent and received include ICMP headers. This is deliberate to: 1) Avoid the need to transport headers values like sequence numbers by other means. 2) Make it easier to port existing programs using raw sockets. ICMP headers given to send() are checked and sanitized. The type must be ICMP_ECHO and the code must be zero (future extensions might relax this, see below). The id is set to the number (local port) of the socket, the checksum is always recomputed. ICMP reply packets received from the network are demultiplexed according to their id's, and are returned by recv() without any modifications. IP header information and ICMP errors of those packets may be obtained via ancillary data (IP_RECVTTL, IP_RETOPTS, and IP_RECVERR). ICMP source quenches and redirects are reported as fake errors via the error queue (IP_RECVERR); the next hop address for redirects is saved to ee_info (in network order). socket(2) is restricted to the group range specified in "/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ping_group_range". It is "1 0" by default, meaning that nobody (not even root) may create ping sockets. Setting it to "100 100" would grant permissions to the single group (to either make /sbin/ping g+s and owned by this group or to grant permissions to the "netadmins" group), "0 4294967295" would enable it for the world, "100 4294967295" would enable it for the users, but not daemons. The existing code might be (in the unlikely case anyone needs it) extended rather easily to handle other similar pairs of ICMP messages (Timestamp/Reply, Information Request/Reply, Address Mask Request/Reply etc.). Userspace ping util & patch for it: http://openwall.info/wiki/people/segoon/ping For Openwall GNU/*/Linux it was the last step on the road to the setuid-less distro. A revision of this patch (for RHEL5/OpenVZ kernels) is in use in Owl-current, such as in the 2011/03/12 LiveCD ISOs: http://mirrors.kernel.org/openwall/Owl/current/iso/ Initially this functionality was written by Pavel Kankovsky for Linux 2.4.32, but unfortunately it was never made public. All ping options (-b, -p, -Q, -R, -s, -t, -T, -M, -I), are tested with the patch. PATCH v3: - switched to flowi4. - minor changes to be consistent with raw sockets code. PATCH v2: - changed ping_debug() to pr_debug(). - removed CONFIG_IP_PING. - removed ping_seq_fops.owner field (unused for procfs). - switched to proc_net_fops_create(). - switched to %pK in seq_printf(). PATCH v1: - fixed checksumming bug. - CAP_NET_RAW may not create icmp sockets anymore. RFC v2: - minor cleanups. - introduced sysctl'able group range to restrict socket(2).

It seems like TCP_ECN_send() calls INET_ECN_xmit(), which only sets the ECN bit in the IPv4 ToS field (inet_sk(sk)->tos), but after the patch, what's checked is inet6_sk(sk)->tclass, which is a completely different field.

All other modes do not allow IP_VS_RT_MODE_RDR, so we should be safe with the ICMP forwarding.

Michał Mirosław's patch (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/94421/) fixes the issue (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/94188/) about not populating FCoE related flags correctly on vlan devices. However, only NETIF_F_FCOE_CRC is part of the NETIF_F_ALL_TX_OFFLOADS right now, where weed NETIF_F_FCOE_MTU and NETIF_F_FSO as well. Therefore, add NETIF_F_ALL_FCOE to indicate feature flags used by FCoE TX offloads. These include NETIF_F_FCOE_CRC, NETIF_F_FCOE_MTU, and NETIF_F_FSO and add them to be part of NETIF_F_ALL_TX_OFFLOADS.

2011-05-12compat: fixes to allow working with tile archChris Metcalf
The existing <asm-generic/unistd.h> mechanism doesn't really provide enough to create the 64-bit "compat" ABI properly in a generic way, since the compat ABI is a mix of things were you can re-use the 64-bit versions of syscalls and things where you need a compat wrapper. To provide this in the most direct way possible, I added two new macros to go along with the existing __SYSCALL and __SC_3264 macros: __SC_COMP and SC_COMP_3264. These macros take an additional argument, typically a "compat_sys_xxx" function, which is passed to __SYSCALL if you define __SYSCALL_COMPAT when including the header, resulting in a pointer to the compat function being placed in the generated syscall table. The change also adds some missing definitions to <linux/compat.h> so that it actually has declarations for all the compat syscalls, since the "[nr] = ##call" approach requires proper C declarations for all the functions included in the syscall table. Finally, compat.c defines compat_sys_sigpending() and compat_sys_sigprocmask() even if the underlying architecture doesn't request it, which tries to pull in undefined compat_old_sigset_t defines. We need to guard those compat syscall definitions with appropriate __ARCH_WANT_SYS_xxx ifdefs. Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
2011-05-12cfg80211/mac80211: avoid bounce back mac->cfg->mac on sched_scan_stoppedLuciano Coelho
When sched_scan_stopped was called by the driver, mac80211 calls cfg80211, which in turn was calling mac80211 back with a flag "driver_initiated". This flag was used so that mac80211 would do the necessary cleanup but would not call the driver. This was enough to prevent the bounce back between the driver and mac80211, but not between mac80211 and cfg80211. To fix this, we now do the cleanup in mac80211 before calling cfg80211. To help with locking issues, the workqueue was moved from cfg80211 to mac80211.

2011-05-12fbcon: add lifetime refcount to opened frame buffersLinus Torvalds
This just adds the refcount and the new registration lock logic. It does not (for example) actually change the read/write/ioctl routines to actually use the frame buffer that was opened: those function still end up alway susing whatever the current frame buffer is at the time of the call. Without this, if something holds the frame buffer open over a framebuffer switch, the close() operation after the switch will access a fb_info that has been free'd by the unregistering of the old frame buffer. (The read/write/ioctl operations will normally not cause problems, because they will - illogically - pick up the new fbcon instead. But a switch that happens just as one of those is going on might see problems too, the window is just much smaller: one individual op rather than the whole open-close sequence.) This use-after-free is apparently fairly easily triggered by the Ubuntu 11.04 boot sequence.

2011-05-12seqlock: Don't smp_rmb in seqlock reader spin loopMilton Miller
Move the smp_rmb after cpu_relax loop in read_seqlock and add ACCESS_ONCE to make sure the test and return are consistent. A multi-threaded core in the lab didn't like the update from 2.6.35 to 2.6.36, to the point it would hang during boot when multiple threads were active. Bisection showed af5ab277ded04bd9bc6b048c5a2f0e7d70ef0867 (clockevents: Remove the per cpu tick skew) as the culprit and it is supported with stack traces showing xtime_lock waits including tick_do_update_jiffies64 and/or update_vsyscall. Experimentation showed the combination of cpu_relax and smp_rmb was significantly slowing the progress of other threads sharing the core, and this patch is effective in avoiding the hang. A theory is the rmb is affecting the whole core while the cpu_relax is causing a resource rebalance flush, together they cause an interfernce cadance that is unbroken when the seqlock reader has interrupts disabled. At first I was confused why the refactor in 3c22cd5709e8143444a6d08682a87f4c57902df3 (kernel: optimise seqlock) didn't affect this patch application, but after some study that affected seqcount not seqlock. The new seqcount was not factored back into the seqlock. I defer that the future. While the removal of the timer interrupt offset created contention for the xtime lock while a cpu does the additonal work to update the system clock, the seqlock implementation with the tight rmb spin loop goes back much further, and is just waiting for the right trigger.

2011-05-11mm: tracing: add missing GFP flags to tracingMel Gorman
include/linux/gfp.h and include/trace/events/gfpflags.h are out of sync. When tracing is enabled, certain flags are not recognised and the text output is less useful as a result. Add the missing flags.

2011-05-11PCI: add latency tolerance reporting enable/disable supportJesse Barnes
Latency tolerance reporting allows devices to send messages to the root complex indicating their latency tolerance for snooped & unsnooped memory transactions. Add support for enabling & disabling this feature, along with a routine to set the max latencies a device should send upstream. Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>
2011-05-11PCI: add OBFF enable/disable supportJesse Barnes
OBFF (optimized buffer flush/fill), where supported, can help improve energy efficiency by giving devices information about when interrupts and other activity will have a reduced power impact. It requires support from both the device and system (i.e. not only does the device need to respond to OBFF messages, but the platform must be capable of generating and routing them to the end point).
