* mac80211: move TX station pointer and restructure TXThomas Huehn2012-07-3153-132/+232
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the control.sta pointer from ieee80211_tx_info to free up sufficient space in the TX skb control buffer for the upcoming Transmit Power Control (TPC). Instead, the pointer is now on the stack in a new control struct that is passed as a function parameter to the drivers' tx method.

* mac80211: add PS flag to bss_confEliad Peller2012-07-315-3/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, ps mode is indicated per device (rather than per interface), which doesn't make a lot of sense. Moreover, there are subtle bugs caused by the inability to indicate ps change along with other changes (e.g. when the AP deauth us, we'd like to indicate CHANGED_PS | CHANGED_ASSOC, as changing PS before notifying about disassociation will result in null-packets being sent (if IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS) while the sta is already disconnected.) Keep the current per-device notifications, and add parallel per-vif notifications. In order to keep it simple, the per-device ps and the per-vif ps are orthogonal - the per-vif ps configuration is determined only by the user configuration (enable/disable) and the connection state, and is not affected by other vifs state and (temporary) dynamic_ps/offchannel operations (unlike per-device ps).

* mac80211: don't react to beacon loss if HW monitoringJohannes Berg2012-07-311-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the HW is monitoring connection loss (as advertised by IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR) but not filtering beacons (IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER) then mac80211 will still start the beacon loss timer and if a few beacons are lost, e.g. due to scanning, drop the connection. If the hardware doesn't advertise connection monitoring, then it won't drop the connection right away but probe the AP, which is intended, but due to the logic in the timer when connection monitoring is done it assumes the connection was actually lost. Fix this problem by not starting the timer when the HW does connection monitoring. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

| * ext4: undo ext4_calc_metadata_amount if we fail to claim spaceTheodore Ts'o2012-07-231-11/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function ext4_calc_metadata_amount() has side effects, although it's not obvious from its function name. So if we fail to claim space, regardless of whether we retry to claim the space again, or return an error, we need to undo these side effects. Otherwise we can end up incorrectly calculating the number of metadata blocks needed for the operation, which was responsible for an xfstests failure for test #271 when using an ext2 file system with delalloc enabled.

| * ext4: don't let i_reserved_meta_blocks go negativeBrian Foster2012-07-221-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we hit a condition where we have allocated metadata blocks that were not appropriately reserved, we risk underflow of ei->i_reserved_meta_blocks. In turn, this can throw sbi->s_dirtyclusters_counter significantly out of whack and undermine the nondelalloc fallback logic in ext4_nonda_switch(). Warn if this occurs and set i_allocated_meta_blocks to avoid this problem. This condition is reproduced by xfstests 270 against ext2 with delalloc enabled: Mar 28 08:58:02 localhost kernel: [ 171.526344] EXT4-fs (loop1): delayed block allocation failed for inode 14 at logical offset 64486 with max blocks 64 with error -28 Mar 28 08:58:02 localhost kernel: [ 171.526346] EXT4-fs (loop1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost 270 ultimately fails with an inconsistent filesystem and requires an fsck to repair. The cause of the error is an underflow in ext4_da_update_reserve_space() due to an unreserved meta block allocation.

| * ext4: fix hole punch failure when depth is greater than 0Ashish Sangwan2012-07-221-17/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Whether to continue removing extents or not is decided by the return value of function ext4_ext_more_to_rm() which checks 2 conditions: a) if there are no more indexes to process. b) if the number of entries are decreased in the header of "depth -1". In case of hole punch, if the last block to be removed is not part of the last extent index than this index will not be deleted, hence the number of valid entries in the extent header of "depth - 1" will remain as it is and ext4_ext_more_to_rm will return 0 although the required blocks are not yet removed. This patch fixes the above mentioned problem as instead of removing the extents from the end of file, it starts removing the blocks from the particular extent from which removing blocks is actually required and continue backward until done.

When creating the first large file on a file system without EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_LARGE_FILE feature. 2. When re-sizing the file-system. 3. When creating an xattr on a file-system without the EXT4_FEATURE_COMPAT_EXT_ATTR feature. If the file-system has journal enabled, the superblock is written via the journal. We do not modify this path. If the file-system has no journal, this function, falls back to just marking the superblock as dirty using the 's_dirt' superblock flag. This means that it delays the actual superblock I/O submission by 5 seconds (default setting). Namely, the 'sync_supers()' kernel thread will call 'ext4_write_super()' later and will actually submit the superblock for I/O. And this is the behavior this patch modifies: we stop using 's_dirt' and just mark the superblock buffer as dirty right away. Indeed, all 3 cases above are extremely rare and it does not add any value to delay the I/O submission for them. Note: 'ext4_handle_dirty_super()' executes '__ext4_handle_dirty_super()' with 'now = 0'. This patch basically makes the 'now' argument unneeded and it will be deleted in one of the next patches. This patch also removes 's_dirt' condition on the unmount path because we never set it anymore, so we should not test it. Tested using xfstests for both journalled and non-journalled ext4.

It is based on the proposal at: https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Design_For_1st_Class_Quota_in_Ext4 This patch introduces a new feature - EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_QUOTA which, when turned on, enables quota accounting at mount time iteself. Also, the quota inodes are stored in two additional superblock fields. Some changes introduced by this patch that should be pointed out are: 1) Two new ext4-superblock fields - s_usr_quota_inum and s_grp_quota_inum for storing the quota inodes in use. 2) Default quota inodes are: inode#3 for tracking userquota and inode#4 for tracking group quota. The superblock fields can be set to use other inodes as well. 3) If the QUOTA feature and corresponding quota inodes are set in superblock, the quota usage tracking is turned on at mount time. On 'quotaon' ioctl, the quota limits enforcement is turned on. 'quotaoff' ioctl turns off only the limits enforcement in this case. 4) When QUOTA feature is in use, the quota mount options 'quota', 'usrquota', 'grpquota' are ignored by the kernel. 5) mke2fs or tune2fs can be used to set the QUOTA feature and initialize quota inodes. The default reserved inodes will not be visible to user as regular files. 6) The quota-tools will need to be modified to support hidden quota files on ext4. E2fsprogs will also include support for creating and fixing quota files. 7) Support is only for the new V2 quota file format.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In xattr block operation, we use h_refcount to indicate whether the xattr block is shared among many inodes. And xattr block csum uses s_csum_seed if it is shared and i_csum_seed if it belongs to one inode. But this has a problem. So consider the block is shared first bewteen inode A and B, and B has some xattr update and CoW the xattr block. When it updates the *old* xattr block(because of the h_refcount change) and calls ext4_xattr_release_block, we has no idea that inode A is the real owner of the *old* xattr block and we can't use the i_csum_seed of inode A either in xattr block csum calculation. And I don't think we have an easy way to find inode A. So this patch just removes the tricky i_csum_seed and we now uses s_csum_seed every time for the xattr block csum. The corresponding patch for the e2fsprogs will be sent in another patch. This is spotted by xfstests 117.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently ext4_mb_load_buddy is called for every group, irrespective of whether the group info is already in memory, while reading /proc/fs/ext4/<partition>/mb_groups proc file. For the purpose of mb_groups proc file, it is unnecessary to load the file group info from disk if it was loaded in past. These calls to ext4_mb_load_buddy make reading the mb_groups proc file expensive. Also, the locks around ext4_get_group_info are not required. This patch modifies the code to call ext4_mb_load_buddy only if the group info had never been loaded into memory in past. It also removes the mb group locking around ext4_get_group_info call.

We use the fls macro from ARMv5 onwards, where we have a clz instruction available which saves us a mov instruction when targetting Thumb-2. For older CPUs, we use the magic 0x0ff0001 constant. Big-endian configurations make use of the implementation from asm-generic. With this implemented, we can replace our byte-at-a-time strnlen_user and strncpy_from_user functions with the optimised generic versions.

Unfortunately, this does not scale well in the presence of multiple PMUs and creates a single, global namespace across all PMUs in the system. This patch removes the enumeration and instead uses the name string for the PMU to map onto the OProfile variant. perf_pmu_name is implemented for CPU PMUs, which is all that OProfile cares about anyway.

This is especially important on systems where memory-access times are not necessarily uniform when accessing the lock structure (for example, on a multi-cluster platform where the lock is allocated into L1 when a CPU releases it). This patch implements the ticket spinlock algorithm for ARM, replacing the simpler implementation for ARMv6+ processors.

This is useful when analysing hardware trace, since writes to this register can be configured to emit an event into the trace stream. The thread notifier for writing the PID is deliberately kept separate from the ASID-writing code so that we can support newer processors using LPAE, where the ASID is stored in TTBR0. As such, the switch_mm code is updated to perform a read-modify-write sequence to ensure that we don't clobber the PID on CPUs using the classic 2-level page tables.

Within CPU idle, before processors enter shutdown they enter clock events broadcast mode through the clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER, cpuid); function where the local timers are emulated by a global always-on timer. On CPU resume, the per-CPU tick device normal mode is restored by exiting broadcast mode through clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_EXIT, cpuid); In order for this mechanism to function, architected timers should add to their feature C3STOP, which means that they are not able to function when the CPU is in off-mode.
