* task IO accounting: move all IO statistics in struct task_io_accountingAndrea Righi2008-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | Simplify the code of include/linux/task_io_accounting.h. It is also more reasonable to have all the task i/o-related statistics in a single struct (task_io_accounting).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Isochronous reception in dualbuffer mode is reportedly broken with TI TSB43AB22A on x86-64. Descriptor addresses above 2G have been determined as the trigger: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435550 Two fixes are possible: - pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pdev, DMA_31BIT_MASK); at least when IR descriptors are allocated, or - simply don't use dualbuffer. This fix implements the latter workaround. But we keep using dualbuffer on x86-32 which won't give us highmen (and thus physical addresses outside the 31bit range) in coherent DMA memory allocations. Right now we could for example also whitelist PPC32, but DMA mapping implementation details are expected to change there.

At the moment, only a single file is added to the card directory for all cards: "state". It reflects the "state" field in struct mmc_card, indicating whether the card is present, readonly, etc. For MMC and SD cards (not SDIO), another file is added: "status". Reading this file will ask the card about its current status and return it. This can be useful if the card just refuses to respond to any commands, which might indicate that the card state is not what the MMC core thinks it is (due to a missing stop command, for example.)

See the path "vfs: utimensat(): fix error checking for {UTIME_NOW,UTIME_OMIT} case" by Michael Kerrisk for the patch introducing this behavior.

It's based on the following property of the trees we are actually asked to add: they can be split into stem that is already covered by registered trees and crown that is entirely new. IOW, if a/b and a/c/d are introduced by our tree, then a/c is also introduced by it. That allows to associate tree and table entry with each node in the union; while directory nodes might be covered by many trees, only one will cover the node by its crown. And that will allow much saner logics for /proc/sys in the next patches. This patch introduces the data structures needed to keep track of that. When adding a sysctl table, we find a "parent" one. Which is to say, find the deepest node on its stem that already is present in one of the tables from our table set or its ancestor sets. That table will be our parent and that node in it - attachment point. Add our table to list anchored in parent, have it refer the parent and contents of attachment point. Also remember where its crown lives. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Make sure that we _always_ make ->unregistering non-NULL in start_unregistering(). That allows anybody to get a reference to such puppy, preventing its freeing and reuse. It does *not* block unregistration. Anybody who holds such a reference can * try to grab a "use" reference (ctl_head_grab()); that will succeeds if and only if it hadn't entered unregistration yet. If it succeeds, we can use it in all normal ways until we release the "use" reference (with ctl_head_finish()). Note that this relies on having ->unregistering become non-NULL in all cases when one starts to unregister the sucker. * keep pointers to ctl_table entries; they *can* be freed if the entire thing is unregistered. However, if ctl_head_grab() succeeds, we know that unregistration had not happened (and will not happen until ctl_head_finish()) and such pointers can be used safely. IOW, now we can have inodes under /proc/sys keep references to ctl_table entries, protecting them with references to ctl_table_header and grabbing the latter for the duration of operations that require access to ctl_table. That won't cause deadlocks, since unregistration will not be stopped by mere keeping a reference to ctl_table_header. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Contains: pointer to parent set, list of tables and "should I see this set?" method (->is_seen(set)). Current lists of tables are subsumed by that; net-ns contains such a beast. ->lookup() for ctl_table_root returns pointer to ctl_table_set instead of that to ->list of that ctl_table_set.
