* buffer_head: fix private_list handlingJan Kara2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two possible races in handling of private_list in buffer cache. 1) When fsync_buffers_list() processes a private_list, it clears b_assoc_mapping and moves buffer to its private list. Now drop_buffers() comes, sees a buffer is on list so it calls __remove_assoc_queue() which complains about b_assoc_mapping being cleared (as it cannot propagate possible IO error). This race has been actually observed in the wild. 2) When fsync_buffers_list() processes a private_list, mark_buffer_dirty_inode() can be called on bh which is already on the private list of fsync_buffers_list(). As buffer is on some list (note that the check is performed without private_lock), it is not readded to the mapping's private_list and after fsync_buffers_list() finishes, we have a dirty buffer which should be on private_list but it isn't. This race has not been reported, probably because most (but not all) callers of mark_buffer_dirty_inode() hold i_mutex and thus are serialized with fsync(). Fix these issues by not clearing b_assoc_map when fsync_buffers_list() moves buffer to a dedicated list and by reinserting buffer in private_list when it is found dirty after we have submitted buffer for IO. We also change the tests whether a buffer is on a private list from !list_empty(&bh->b_assoc_buffers) to bh->b_assoc_map so that they are single word reads and hence lockless checks are safe.

* Add new string functions strict_strto* and convert kernel params to use themYi Yang2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, for every sysfs node, the callers will be responsible for implementing store operation, so many many callers are doing duplicate things to validate input, they have the same mistakes because they are calling simple_strtol/ul/ll/uul, especially for module params, they are just numeric, but you can echo such values as 0x1234xxx, 07777888 and 1234aaa, for these cases, module params store operation just ignores succesive invalid char and converts prefix part to a numeric although input is acctually invalid. This patch tries to fix the aforementioned issues and implements strict_strtox serial functions, kernel/params.c uses them to strictly validate input, so module params will reject such values as 0x1234xxxx and returns an error: write error: Invalid argument Any modules which export numeric sysfs node can use strict_strtox instead of simple_strtox to reject any invalid input. Here are some test results: Before applying this patch: [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0x1000 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0x1000g > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0x1000gggggggg > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 010000 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0100008 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 010000aaaaa > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# After applying this patch: [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0x1000 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0x1000g > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0x1000gggggggg > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 010000 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0100008 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 010000aaaaa > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo -n 4096 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix compiler warnings] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix off-by-one found by tiwai@suse.de] Signed-off-by: Yi Yang <yi.y.yang@intel.com> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Cc: "Randy.Dunlap" <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Cc: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Several filesystems which use mount options, have not implemented a .show_options superblock operation. Several others have implemented this callback, but have not kept it fully up to date with the parsed options. Q: Why do we need correct option showing in /proc/mounts? A: We want /proc/mounts to fully replace /etc/mtab. The reasons for this are: - unprivileged mounters won't be able to update /etc/mtab - /etc/mtab doesn't work with private mount namespaces - /etc/mtab can become out-of-sync with reality Q: Can't this be done, so that filesystems need not bother with implementing a .show_mounts callback, and keeping it up to date? A: Only in some cases. Certain filesystems allow modification of a subset of options in their remount_fs method. It is not possible to take this into account without knowing exactly how the filesystem handles options. For the simple case (no remount or remount resets all options) the patchset introduces two helpers: generic_show_options() save_mount_options() These can also be used to emulate the old /etc/mtab behavior, until proper support is added.

* drop linux/ufs_fs.h from userspace export and relocate it to fs/ufs/ufs_fs.hMike Frysinger2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Per previous discussions about cleaning up ufs_fs.h, people just want this straight up dropped from userspace export. The only remaining consumer (silo) has been fixed a while ago to not rely on this header. This allows use to move it completely from include/linux/ to fs/ufs/ seeing as how the only in-kernel consumer is fs/ufs/.

* avoid overflows in kernel/time.cH. Peter Anvin2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the conversion factor between jiffies and milli- or microseconds is not a single multiply or divide, as for the case of HZ == 300, we currently do a multiply followed by a divide. The intervening result, however, is subject to overflows, especially since the fraction is not simplified (for HZ == 300, we multiply by 300 and divide by 1000). This is exposed to the user when passing a large timeout to poll(), for example. This patch replaces the multiply-divide with a reciprocal multiplication on 32-bit platforms. When the input is an unsigned long, there is no portable way to do this on 64-bit platforms there is no portable way to do this since it requires a 128-bit intermediate result (which gcc does support on 64-bit platforms but may generate libgcc calls, e.g. on 64-bit s390), but since the output is a 32-bit integer in the cases affected, just simplify the multiply-divide (*3/10 instead of *300/1000). The reciprocal multiply used can have off-by-one errors in the upper half of the valid output range. This could be avoided at the expense of having to deal with a potential 65-bit intermediate result. Since the intent is to avoid overflow problems and most of the other time conversions are only semiexact, the off-by-one errors were considered an acceptable tradeoff. At Ralf Baechle's suggestion, this version uses a Perl script to compute the necessary constants. We already have dependencies on Perl for kernel compiles. This does, however, require the Perl module Math::BigInt, which is included in the standard Perl distribution starting with version 5.8.0. In order to support older versions of Perl, include a table of canned constants in the script itself, and structure the script so that Math::BigInt isn't required if pulling values from said table. Running the script requires that the HZ value is available from the Makefile. Thus, this patch also adds the Kconfig variable CONFIG_HZ to the architectures which didn't already have it (alpha, cris, frv, h8300, m32r, m68k, m68knommu, sparc, v850, and xtensa.) It does *not* touch the sh or sh64 architectures, since Paul Mundt has dealt with those separately in the sh tree. Signed-off-by: H.

* PWM LED driverDavid Brownell2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a LED driver using the PWM on newer SOCs from Atmel; brightness is controlled by changing the PWM duty cycle. So for example if you've set up two leds labeled "pwm0" and "pwm1": echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/pwm2/brightness # off (0%) echo 80 > /sys/class/leds/pwm2/brightness echo 255 > /sys/class/leds/pwm2/brightness # on (100%) Note that "brightness" here isn't linear; maybe that should change. Going from 4 to 8 probably doubles perceived brightness, while 244 to 248 is imperceptible. This is mostly intended to be a simple example of PWM, although it's realistic since LCD backlights are often driven with PWM to conserve battery power (and offer brightness options).
