2012-05-16ramoops: Move to fs/pstore/ram.cAnton Vorontsov
Since ramoops was converted to pstore, it has nothing to do with character devices nowadays. Instead, today it is just a RAM backend for pstore. The patch just moves things around. There are a few changes were needed because of the move: 1. Kconfig and Makefiles fixups, of course. 2. In pstore/ram.c we have to play a bit with MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX, this is needed to keep user experience the same as with ramoops driver (i.e. so that ramoops.foo kernel command line arguments would still work).

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless John Linville says: Here are three more fixes that some of my developers are desperate to see included in 3.4... Johan Hedberg went to some length justifyng the inclusion of these two Bluetooth fixes: "The device_connected fix should be quite self-explanatory, but it's actually a wider issue than just for keyboards. All profiles that do incoming connection authorization (e.g. headsets) will break without it with specific hardware. The reason it wasn't caught earlier is that it only occurs with specific Bluetooth adapters. As for the security level patch, this fixes L2CAP socket based security level elevation during a connection. The HID profile needs this (for keyboards) and it is the only way to achieve the security level elevation when using the management interface to talk to the kernel (hence the management enabling patch being the one that exposes this" The rtlwifi fix addresses a regression related to firmware loading, as described in kernel.org bug 43187.

2012-05-15jbd: Write journal superblock with WRITE_FUA after checkpointingJan Kara
If journal superblock is written only in disk's caches and other transaction starts reusing space of the transaction cleaned from the log, it can happen blocks of a new transaction reach the disk before journal superblock. When power failure happens in such case, subsequent journal replay would still try to replay the old transaction but some of it's blocks may be already overwritten by the new transaction. For this reason we must use WRITE_FUA when updating log tail and we must first write new log tail to disk and update in-memory information only after that. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

Split these cases into separate functions. It makes the code slightly more straightforward and later patches will make the distinction even more important. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2012-05-15net: Add net_ratelimited_function and net_<level>_ratelimited macrosJoe Perches
__ratelimit() can be considered an inverted bool test because it returns true when not ratelimited. Several tests in the kernel tree use this __ratelimit() function incorrectly. No net_ratelimit uses are incorrect currently though. Most uses of net_ratelimit are to log something via printk or pr_<level>. In order to minimize the uses of net_ratelimit, and to start standardizing the code style used for __ratelimit() and net_ratelimit(), add a net_ratelimited_function() macro and net_<level>_ratelimited() logging macros similar to pr_<level>_ratelimited that use the global net_ratelimit instead of a static per call site "struct ratelimit_state".

2012-05-15usbnet: fix skb traversing races during unlink(v2)Ming Lei
Commit 4231d47e6fe69f061f96c98c30eaf9fb4c14b96d(net/usbnet: avoid recursive locking in usbnet_stop()) fixes the recursive locking problem by releasing the skb queue lock before unlink, but may cause skb traversing races: - after URB is unlinked and the queue lock is released, the refered skb and skb->next may be moved to done queue, even be released - in skb_queue_walk_safe, the next skb is still obtained by next pointer of the last skb - so maybe trigger oops or other problems This patch extends the usage of entry->state to describe 'start_unlink' state, so always holding the queue(rx/tx) lock to change the state if the referd skb is in rx or tx queue because we need to know if the refered urb has been started unlinking in unlink_urbs. The other part of this patch is based on Huajun's patch: always traverse from head of the tx/rx queue to get skb which is to be unlinked but not been started unlinking.

2012-05-15mm: frontswap: core swap subsystem hooks and headersDan Magenheimer
This patch, 2of4, contains the changes to the core swap subsystem. This includes: (1) makes available core swap data structures (swap_lock, swap_list and swap_info) that are needed by frontswap.c but we don't need to expose them to the dozens of files that include swap.h so we create a new swapfile.h just to extern-ify these and modify their declarations to non-static (2) adds frontswap-related elements to swap_info_struct. Frontswap_map points to vzalloc'ed one-bit-per-swap-page metadata that indicates whether the swap page is in frontswap or in the device and frontswap_pages counts how many pages are in frontswap. (3) adds hooks in the swap subsystem and extends try_to_unuse so that frontswap_shrink can do a "partial swapoff". Note that a failed frontswap_map allocation is safe... failure is noted by lack of "FS" in the subsequent printk. --- [v14: rebase to 3.4-rc2] [v10: no change] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: mark some statics __read_mostly] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: add clarifying comments] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: no need to loop repeating try_to_unuse] [v9: error27@gmail.com: remove superfluous check for NULL] [v8: rebase to 3.0-rc4] [v8: kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: change counter to atomic_t to avoid races] [v8: kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: comment to clarify informational counters] [v7: rebase to 3.0-rc3] [v7: JBeulich@novell.com: add new swap struct elements only if config'd] [v6: rebase to 3.0-rc1] [v6: lliubbo@gmail.com: fix null pointer deref if vzalloc fails] [v6: konrad.wilk@oracl.com: various checks and code clarifications/comments] [v5: no change from v4] [v4: rebase to 2.6.39] Signed-off-by: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Kamezawa Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@novell.com> Acked-by: Seth Jennings <sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> Cc: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com> Cc: Rik Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> [v11: Rebased, fixed mm/swapfile.c context change] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
2012-05-15mm: frontswap: add frontswap header fileDan Magenheimer
Frontswap is the alter ego of cleancache, the "yang" to cleancache's "yin"... and more precisely frontswap is the provider of anonymous pages to transcendent memory to nicely complement cleancache's providing of clean pagecache pages to transcendent memory. For optimal use of transcendent memory, both are necessary... because a kernel under memory pressure first reclaims clean pagecache pages and, when under more memory pressure, starts swapping anonymous pages. Frontswap and cleancache (which was merged at 3.0) are the "frontends" and the only necessary changes to the core kernel for transcendent memory; all other supporting code -- the "backends" -- is implemented as drivers. See the LWN.net article "Transcendent memory in a nutshell" for a detailed overview of frontswap and related kernel parts: https://lwn.net/Articles/454795/ Frontswap code was first posted publicly in January 2009 and on LKML in May 2009, and has remained functionally stable for nearly three years now. It is barely invasive, touching only the swap subsystem and adds less than 100 lines of code to existing swap subsystem code files. It has improved syntactically substantially between V1 and this posting of V14, thanks to the review of a few kernel developers, and has adapted easily to at least one major swap subsystem change. As of 3.4, there are three in-tree users of frontswap patiently waiting for this patchset and for CONFIG_FRONTSWAP to be enabled: zcache (staging driver merged at 2.6.39), Xen tmem (merged at 3.0 and 3.1) and RAMster (staging driver merged at 3.4). In addition, a RFC has been posted for a KVM backend. The frontswap patchset has been in linux-next since next-110603. Earlier versions of frontswap already ship in the Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel and SuSE SLES. This patch, 1of4, provides the header file for the core code for frontswap that interfaces between the hooks in the swap subsystem and a frontswap backend via frontswap_ops. --- New file added: include/linux/frontswap.h [v14: add support for writethrough, per suggestion by aarcange@redhat.com] [v14: rebase to 3.4-rc2] [v11: konrad.wilk@oracle.com: squashed s/flush/invalidate/ in] [v10: no change] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: change "flush" to "invalidate", part 1] [v8: rebase to 3.0-rc4] [v7: rebase to 3.0-rc3] [v7: JBeulich@novell.com: new static inlines resolve to no-ops if not config'd] [v7: JBeulich@novell.com: avoid redundant shifts/divides for *_bit lib calls] [v6: rebase to 3.1-rc1] [v5: no change from v4] [v4: rebase to 2.6.39] Signed-off-by: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@novell.com> Acked-by: Seth Jennings <sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> Cc: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com> Cc: Rik Riel <riel@redhat.com> [v15: int/bool on some functions] Signed-off-by: Konrad Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
2012-05-15lockdep: fix oops in processing workqueuePeter Zijlstra
Under memory load, on x86_64, with lockdep enabled, the workqueue's process_one_work() has been seen to oops in __lock_acquire(), barfing on a 0xffffffff00000000 pointer in the lockdep_map's class_cache[]. Because it's permissible to free a work_struct from its callout function, the map used is an onstack copy of the map given in the work_struct: and that copy is made without any locking. Surprisingly, gcc (4.5.1 in Hugh's case) uses "rep movsl" rather than "rep movsq" for that structure copy: which might race with a workqueue user's wait_on_work() doing lock_map_acquire() on the source of the copy, putting a pointer into the class_cache[], but only in time for the top half of that pointer to be copied to the destination map. Boom when process_one_work() subsequently does lock_map_acquire() on its onstack copy of the lockdep_map. Fix this, and a similar instance in call_timer_fn(), with a lockdep_copy_map() function which additionally NULLs the class_cache[]. Note: this oops was actually seen on 3.4-next, where flush_work() newly does the racing lock_map_acquire(); but Tejun points out that 3.4 and earlier are already vulnerable to the same through wait_on_work(). * Patch orginally from Peter. Hugh modified it a bit and wrote the description.

2012-05-16KEYS: Don't check for NULL key pointer in key_validate()David Howells
Don't bother checking for NULL key pointer in key_validate() as all of the places that call it will crash anyway if the relevant key pointer is NULL by the time they call key_validate(). Therefore, the checking must be done prior to calling here. Whilst we're at it, simplify the key_validate() function a bit and mark its argument const.
