* firewire: fw-sbp2: fix another small generation access bugStefan Richter2008-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | queuecommand() looked at the remote and local node IDs before it read the bus generation. The corresponding race with sbp2_reconnect updating these data was probably impossible to happen though because the current code blocks the SCSI layer during reconnection. However, better safe than sorry, especially if someone later improves the code to not block the SCSI layer. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
* firewire: fw-sbp2: enforce s/g segment size limitStefan Richter2008-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. We don't need to round the SBP-2 segment size limit down to a multiple of 4 kB (0xffff -> 0xf000). It is only necessary to ensure quadlet alignment (0xffff -> 0xfffc). 2. Use dma_set_max_seg_size() to tell the DMA mapping infrastructure and the block IO layer about the restriction. This way we can remove the size checks and segment splitting in the queuecommand path. This assumes that no other code in the firewire stack uses dma_map_sg() with conflicting requirements. It furthermore assumes that the controller device's platform actually allows us to set the segment size to our liking. Assert the latter with a BUG_ON(). 3. Also use blk_queue_max_segment_size() to tell the block IO layer about it. It cannot know it because our scsi_add_host() does not point to the FireWire controller's device.

* ieee1394: survive a few seconds connection lossStefan Richter2008-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are situations when nodes vanish from the bus and come back in quickly thereafter: - When certain bus-powered hubs are plugged in, - when certain disk enclosures are switched from self-power to bus power or vice versa and break the daisy chain during the transition, - when the user plugs a cable out and quickly plugs it back in, e.g. to reorder a daisy chain (works on Mac OS X if done quickly enough), - when certain hubs temporarily malfunction during high bus traffic. The ieee1394 driver's nodemgr already contained a function to set vanished nodes aside into "limbo"; i.e. they wouldn't actually be deleted right away. (In fact, only unloading the driver or writing into an obscure sysfs attribute would delete them eventually.) If nodes reappeared later, they would be resurrected out of limbo. Moving nodes into and out of limbo was accompanied with calling the .suspend() and .resume() driver methods of the drivers which were bound to a respective node's unit directories. Not only is this somewhat strange due to the intended use of these driver methods for power management, also the sbp2 driver in particular does not implement .suspend() and .resume(). Hence sbp2 would be disconnected from devices in situations as listed above. We now: - leave drivers bound when nodes go into limbo, - call the drivers' .update() when nodes come out of limbo, - automatically delete in-limbo nodes 3 seconds after the last bus reset and bus rescan. - Because of the automatic removal, the now obsolete bus attribute /sys/bus/ieee1394/destroy_node is removed. This especially lets sbp2 survive brief disconnections. You can for example yank a disk's cable and plug it back in while reading the respective disk with dd, but dd will happily continue as if nothing happened.

* ieee1394: raw1394: make write() thread-safeStefan Richter2008-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Application programs should use a libraw1394 handle only in a single thread. The raw1394 driver was apparently relying on this, because it did nothing to protect its fi->state variable from corruption due to concurrent accesses. We now serialize the fi->state accesses. This affects the write() path. We re-use the state_mutex which was introduced to protect fi->iso_state accesses in the ioctl() path. These paths and accesses are independent of each other, hence separate mutexes could be used. But I don't see much benefit in that. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
* ieee1394: raw1394: narrow down the state_mutex protected regionStefan Richter2008-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | Refactor the ioctl dispatcher in order to move a fraction of it out of the section which is serialized by fi->state_mutex. This is not so much about performance but more about self-documentation: The mutex_lock()/ mutex_unlock() calls are now closer to the data accesses which the mutex protects, i.e. to the iso_state switch.

* ieee1394: raw1394: replace BKL by local mutex, make ioctl() and mmap() ↵Stefan Richter2008-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | thread-safe This removes the last usage of the Big Kernel Lock from the ieee1394 stack, i.e. from raw1394's (unlocked_)ioctl and compat_ioctl. The ioctl()s don't need to take the BKL, but they need to be serialized per struct file *. In particular, accesses to ->iso_state need to be serial. We simply use a blocking mutex for this purpose because libraw1394 does not use O_NONBLOCK. In practice, there is no lock contention anyway because most if not all libraw1394 clients use a libraw1394 handle only in a single thread. mmap() also accesses ->iso_state. Until now this was unprotected against concurrent changes by ioctls. Fix this bug while we are at it. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

* Don't allow splice() to files opened with O_APPENDLinus Torvalds2008-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is debatable, but while we're debating it, let's disallow the combination of splice and an O_APPEND destination. It's not entirely clear what the semantics of O_APPEND should be, and POSIX apparently expects pwrite() to ignore O_APPEND, for example. So we could make up any semantics we want, including the old ones. But Miklos convinced me that we should at least give it some thought, and that accepting writes at arbitrary offsets is wrong at least for IS_APPEND() files (which always have O_APPEND set, even if the reverse isn't true: you can obviously have O_APPEND set on a regular file). So disallow O_APPEND entirely for now. I doubt anybody cares, and this way we have one less gray area to worry about.

Usage count = %d It turns out that netdev_run_todo can dead-lock with itself if a second instance of it is run in a thread that will then free a reference to the device waited on by the first instance. The problem is really quite silly. We were trying to create parallelism where none was required. As netdev_run_todo always follows a RTNL section, and that todo tasks can only be added with the RTNL held, by definition you should only need to wait for the very ones that you've added and be done with it. There is no need for a second mutex or spinlock. This is exactly what the following patch does. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

When removing the promiscous flag from the VLAN device afterwards, the promiscous count on the real device is decremented a second time by the vlan_change_rx_flags() callback. The root cause for this is that the ->change_rx_flags() callback is invoked while the device is down. The synchronization is meant to mirror the behaviour of the ->set_rx_mode callbacks, meaning the ->open function is responsible for doing a full sync on open, the ->close() function is responsible for doing full cleanup on ->stop() and ->change_rx_flags() is meant to do incremental changes while the device is UP. Only invoke ->change_rx_flags() while the device is UP to provide the intended behaviour.

I think the problem comes from "markers: fix duplicate modpost entry" (commit d35cb360c29956510b2fe1a953bd4968536f7216) Especially : - add_marker(mod, marker, fmt); + if (!mod->skip) + add_marker(mod, marker, fmt); } return; fail: Here is a fix that should take care if this problem.
