* Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki2007-07-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* ieee1394: sbp2: offer SAM-conforming target port ID in sysfsStefan Richter2007-05-311-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With "modprobe sbp2 long_ieee1394_id=y", the format of /sys/bus/scsi/devices/*:*:*:*/ieee1394_id is changed from e.g. 0001041010004beb:0:0 to 0001041010004beb:00042c:0000. The longer format fully conforms to object identifier sizes as per SAM(-2...4) and reflects what the SAM target port identifier is meant to contain: A Discovery ID allegedly specified by ISO/IEC 13213:1994 --- however there is no such thing; the authors of SAM probably meant Directory ID). Especially target nodes with multiple dynamically added targets may use Directory IDs to persistently identify target ports. The new format is independent of implementation details of nodemgr. Thus the same ieee1394_id attribute format can be implemented in the new firewire stack. The ieee1394_id is typically used to create persistently named links in /dev/disk/by-id.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch consolidates some bookkeeping for driver registering. It closely models what pci_register_driver() does. The main addition is that the owner of the driver is set, so we get a proper symlink for /sys/bus/ieee1394/driver/*/module. Also moves setting of name and bus type into nodemgr. Because of this, we can remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL for ieee1394_bus_type, since it's now only used in ieee1394.ko. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

* ieee1394: nodemgr: fix deadlock in shutdownStefan Richter2006-12-071-3/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If "modprobe ohci1394" was quickly followed by "modprobe -r ohci1394", say with 1 second pause in between, the modprobe -r got stuck in uninterruptible sleep in kthread_stop. At the same time the knodemgrd slept uninterruptibly in bus_rescan_devices_helper. That's because driver_detach took the semaphore of the PCI device and bus_rescan_devices_helper wanted to take the semaphore of the FireWire host device's parent, which is the same semaphore. This was a regression since Linux 2.6.16, commit bf74ad5bc41727d5f2f1c6bedb2c1fac394de731, "Hold the device's parent's lock during probe and remove". The fix (or workaround) adds a dummy driver to the hpsb_host device. Now bus_rescan_devices_helper won't scan the host device anymore. This doesn't hurt since we have no drivers which will bind to these devices and it is unlikely that there will ever be such a driver. The dummy driver is befittingly presented as a representation of ieee1394 itself. Fixes: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6706 Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

* ieee1394: nodemgr: revise semaphore protection of driver core dataStefan Richter2006-12-071-50/+92
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - The list "struct class.children" is supposed to be protected by class.sem, not by class.subsys.rwsem. - nodemgr_remove_uds() iterated over nodemgr_ud_class.children without proper protection. This was never observed as a bug since the code is usually only accessed by knodemgrd. All knodemgrds are currently globally serialized. But userspace can trigger this code too by writing to /sys/bus/ieee1394/destroy_node. - Clean up access to the FireWire bus type's subsys.rwsem: Access it uniformly via ieee1394_bus_type. Shrink rwsem protected regions where possible. Expand them where necessary. The latter wasn't a problem so far because knodemgr is globally serialized. This should harden the interaction of ieee1394 with sysfs and lay ground for deserialized operation of multiple knodemgrds and for implementation of subthreads for parallelized scanning and probing.

* ieee1394: shrink tlabel pools, remove tpool semaphoresStefan Richter2006-09-171-17/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reduces the size of struct hpsb_host and also removes semaphores from ieee1394_transactions.c. On i386, struct hpsb_host shrinks from 10656 bytes to 6688 bytes. This is accomplished by - using a single wait_queue for hpsb_get_tlabel instead of many instances of semaphores, - using a single lock to serialize access to all tlabel pools (the protected code regions are small, i.e. lock contention very low), - omitting the sysfs attribute tlabels_allocations. Drawback: In the rare case that a process needs to sleep because all transaction labels for the node are temporarily exhausted, it is also woken up if a tlabel for a different node became free, checks for an available tlabel, and is put to sleep again. The check is not costly and the situation occurs extremely rarely. (Tlabels are typically only exhausted if there was no context switch to the khpsbpkt thread which recycles tlables.) Therefore the benefit of reduced tpool size outweighs this drawback. The sysfs attributes tlabels_free and tlabels_mask are not compiled anymore unless CONFIG_IEEE1394_VERBOSEDEBUG is set. The by far biggest member of struct hpsb_host, the struct csr_control csr (5272 bytes on i386), is now placed at the end of struct hpsb_host. Note, hpsb_get_tlabel calls the macro wait_event_interruptible with a condition argument which has a side effect (allocation of a tlabel and manipulation of the packet). This side effect happens only if the condition is true. The patch relies on wait_event_interruptible not evaluating the condition again after it became true.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Another trivial sem2mutex conversion. Side note: nodemgr_serialize's purpose, when introduced in linux1394's revision 529 in July 2002, was to protect several data structures which are now largely handled by or together with Linux' driver core and are now protected by the LDM's own mechanisms. It may very well be possible to remove this mutex now. But fully parallelized node scanning is on our long-term TODO list anyway; the mutex will certainly go away then.

The only resulting problem so far was sbp2 displaying bogus values in the syslog, e.g. S3200 for actual S800 connections if IEEE1394_SPEED_MAX was S3200. But other high-level drivers which access this field could get into more trouble. (Eth1394 is the only other in-tree driver which does so. It seems it is not affected.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After initializing an IEEE 1394 host, broadcast a resume packet. This makes remote nodes visible which suspended their ports while the host was down. Such nodes had to be unplugged and replugged in order to be recognized. Motorola DCT6200 cable reciever was affected, probably other devices too. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=113202715800001 Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> Signed-off-by: Jody McIntyre <scjody@modernduck.com> (cherry picked from 14c0fa243b358c24040ff5f44b60c47aaf6430c3 commit)
* | ieee1394: run high-level updates before high-level probesStefan Richter2005-12-121-3/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After a bus reset, let nodemgr call high-level update hooks first for nodes which do not need to be probed. The main benefit is for a bus with more than one SBP-2 device: SBP-2 reconnects will be performed before SBP-2 logins, thus have a much higher chance to succeed, and their SCSI devices will not be blocked much longer than necessary. This was demonstrated for Linux 2.4 by Dave Cinege a while ago. A better approach would be to perform time-consuming probes in parallel by a subthread. I actually plan to implement this for sbp2 but it may take a while to get that done and tested. Until then, this tweak is a huge improvement for users with multiple SBP-2 devices.
