* [PATCH] Enforce "unsigned long flags;" when spinlockingAlexey Dobriyan2006-11-252-14/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make it break or warn if you pass to spin_lock_irqsave() and friends something different from "unsigned long flags;". Suprisingly large amount of these was caught by recent commit c53421b18f205c5f97c604ae55c6a921f034b0f6 and others. Idea is largely from FRV typechecking. Suggestions from Andrew Morton. All stupid typos in first version fixed. Passes allmodconfig on i386, x86_64, alpha, arm as well as my usual config. Note #1: checking with sparse is still needed, because a driver can save and pass around flags or something. So far patch is very intrusive. Note #2: techically, we should break only if sizeof(flags) < sizeof(unsigned long), however, the more pain for getting suspicious code into kernel, the better.

* Add "pure_initcall" for static variable initializationLinus Torvalds2006-11-201-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a quick hack to overcome the fact that SRCU currently does not allow static initializers, and we need to sometimes initialize those things before any other initializers (even "core" ones) can do so.

* [PATCH] hugetlb: prepare_hugepage_range check offset tooHugh Dickins2006-11-141-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (David:) If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example, because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path. But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path will call unmap_region() on it. That will eventually call down to the non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range(). On ppc64, at least, that will cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the same PUD. unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud entries. I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't have a machine to test it on. (Hugh:) prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from unmapping before it fails further down. PowerPC should apply the same prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do. Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge mappings into a separate region of the address space.

* [PATCH] sysctl: allow a zero ctl_name in the middle of a sysctl tableEric W. Biederman2006-11-061-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since it is becoming clear that there are just enough users of the binary sysctl interface that completely removing the binary interface from the kernel will not be an option for foreseeable future, we need to find a way to address the sysctl maintenance issues. The basic problem is that sysctl requires one central authority to allocate sysctl numbers, or else conflicts and ABI breakage occur. The proc interface to sysctl does not have that problem, as names are not densely allocated. By not terminating a sysctl table until I have neither a ctl_name nor a procname, it becomes simple to add sysctl entries that don't show up in the binary sysctl interface. Which allows people to avoid allocating a binary sysctl value when not needed. I have audited the kernel code and in my reading I have not found a single sysctl table that wasn't terminated by a completely zero filled entry. So this change in behavior should not affect anything. I think this mechanism eases the pain enough that combined with a little disciple we can solve the reoccurring sysctl ABI breakage.

* [PATCH] __vmalloc with GFP_ATOMIC causes 'sleeping from invalid context'Giridhar Pemmasani2006-10-281-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | If __vmalloc is called to allocate memory with GFP_ATOMIC in atomic context, the chain of calls results in __get_vm_area_node allocating memory for vm_struct with GFP_KERNEL, causing the 'sleeping from invalid context' warning. This patch fixes it by passing the gfp flags along so __get_vm_area_node allocates memory for vm_struct with the same flags.

* [PATCH] vmscan: Fix temp_priority raceMartin Bligh2006-10-281-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The temp_priority field in zone is racy, as we can walk through a reclaim path, and just before we copy it into prev_priority, it can be overwritten (say with DEF_PRIORITY) by another reclaimer. The same bug is contained in both try_to_free_pages and balance_pgdat, but it is fixed slightly differently. In balance_pgdat, we keep a separate priority record per zone in a local array. In try_to_free_pages there is no need to do this, as the priority level is the same for all zones that we reclaim from. Impact of this bug is that temp_priority is copied into prev_priority, and setting this artificially high causes reclaimers to set distress artificially low. They then fail to reclaim mapped pages, when they are, in fact, under severe memory pressure (their priority may be as low as 0). This causes the OOM killer to fire incorrectly. From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> __zone_reclaim() isn't modifying zone->prev_priority. But zone->prev_priority is used in the decision whether or not to bring mapped pages onto the inactive list. Hence there's a risk here that __zone_reclaim() will fail because zone->prev_priority ir large (ie: low urgency) and lots of mapped pages end up stuck on the active list. Fix that up by decreasing (ie making more urgent) zone->prev_priority as __zone_reclaim() scans the zone's pages. This bug perhaps explains why ZONE_RECLAIM_PRIORITY was created. It should be possible to remove that now, and to just start out at DEF_PRIORITY?

* [PATCH] drivers: wait for threaded probes between initcall levelsAndrew Morton2006-10-271-9/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The multithreaded-probing code has a problem: after one initcall level (eg, core_initcall) has been processed, we will then start processing the next level (postcore_initcall) while the kernel threads which are handling core_initcall are still executing. This breaks the guarantees which the layered initcalls previously gave us. IOW, we want to be multithreaded _within_ an initcall level, but not between different levels. Fix that up by causing the probing code to wait for all outstanding probes at one level to complete before we start processing the next level.

* [PATCH] Remove __must_check for device_for_each_child()Russell King2006-10-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Eliminate more __must_check madness. The return code from device_for_each_child() depends on the values which the helper function returns. If the helper function always returns zero, it's utterly pointless to check the return code from device_for_each_child(). The only code which knows if the return value should be checked is the caller itself, so forcing the return code to always be checked is silly. Hence, remove the __must_check annotation.
