* [PATCH] zlib_inflate: Upgrade library code to a recent versionRichard Purdie2006-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Upgrade the zlib_inflate implementation in the kernel from a patched version 1.1.3/4 to a patched 1.2.3. The code in the kernel is about seven years old and I noticed that the external zlib library's inflate performance was significantly faster (~50%) than the code in the kernel on ARM (and faster again on x86_32). For comparison the newer deflate code is 20% slower on ARM and 50% slower on x86_32 but gives an approx 1% compression ratio improvement. I don't consider this to be an improvement for kernel use so have no plans to change the zlib_deflate code. Various changes have been made to the zlib code in the kernel, the most significant being the extra functions/flush option used by ppp_deflate. This update reimplements the features PPP needs to ensure it continues to work. This code has been tested on ARM under both JFFS2 (with zlib compression enabled) and ppp_deflate and on x86_32. JFFS2 sees an approx. 10% real world file read speed improvement. This patch also removes ZLIB_VERSION as it no longer has a correct value. We don't need version checks anyway as the kernel's module handling will take care of that for us. This removal is also more in keeping with the zlib author's wishes (http://www.zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq24) and I've added something to the zlib.h header to note its a modified version.

* [PATCH] vgacon: make VGA_MAP_MEM take size, remove extra useBjorn Helgaas2006-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | VGA_MAP_MEM translates to ioremap() on some architectures. It makes sense to do this to vga_vram_base, because we're going to access memory between vga_vram_base and vga_vram_end. But it doesn't really make sense to map starting at vga_vram_end, because we aren't going to access memory starting there. On ia64, which always has to be different, ioremapping vga_vram_end gives you something completely incompatible with ioremapped vga_vram_start, so vga_vram_size ends up being nonsense. As a bonus, we often know the size up front, so we can use ioremap() correctly, rather than giving it a zero size. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Cc: "Antonino A.

* [PATCH] Fix dcache race during umountNeilBrown2006-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The race is that the shrink_dcache_memory shrinker could get called while a filesystem is being unmounted, and could try to prune a dentry belonging to that filesystem. If it does, then it will call in to iput on the inode while the dentry is no longer able to be found by the umounting process. If iput takes a while, generic_shutdown_super could get all the way though shrink_dcache_parent and shrink_dcache_anon and invalidate_inodes without ever waiting on this particular inode. Eventually the superblock gets freed anyway and if the iput tried to touch it (which some filesystems certainly do), it will lose. The promised "Self-destruct in 5 seconds" doesn't lead to a nice day. The race is closed by holding s_umount while calling prune_one_dentry on someone else's dentry. As a down_read_trylock is used, shrink_dcache_memory will no longer try to prune the dentry of a filesystem that is being unmounted, and unmount will not be able to start until any such active prune_one_dentry completes. This requires that prune_dcache *knows* which filesystem (if any) it is doing the prune on behalf of so that it can be careful of other filesystems. shrink_dcache_memory isn't called it on behalf of any filesystem, and so is careful of everything. shrink_dcache_anon is now passed a super_block rather than the s_anon list out of the superblock, so it can get the s_anon list itself, and can pass the superblock down to prune_dcache. If prune_dcache finds a dentry that it cannot free, it leaves it where it is (at the tail of the list) and exits, on the assumption that some other thread will be removing that dentry soon. To try to make sure that some work gets done, a limited number of dnetries which are untouchable are skipped over while choosing the dentry to work on. I believe this race was first found by Kirill Korotaev.

* [PATCH] remove steal_locks()Miklos Szeredi2006-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the steal_locks() function. steal_locks() doesn't work correctly with any filesystem that does it's own lock management, including NFS, CIFS, etc. In addition it has weird semantics on local filesystems in case tasks sharing file-descriptor tables are doing POSIX locking operations in parallel to execve(). The steal_locks() function has an effect on applications doing: clone(CLONE_FILES) /* in child */ lock execve lock POSIX locks acquired before execve (by "child", "parent" or any further task sharing files_struct) will after the execve be owned exclusively by "child". According to Chris Wright some LSB/LTP kind of suite triggers without the stealing behavior, but there's no known real-world application that would also fail. Apps using NPTL are not affected, since all other threads are killed before execve. Apps using LinuxThreads are only affected if they - have multiple threads during exec (LinuxThreads doesn't kill other threads, the app may do it with pthread_kill_other_threads_np()) - rely on POSIX locks being inherited across exec Both conditions are documented, but not their interaction. Apps using clone() natively are affected if they - use clone(CLONE_FILES) - rely on POSIX locks being inherited across exec The above scenarios are unlikely, but possible. If the patch is vetoed, there's a plan B, that involves mostly keeping the weird stealing semantics, but changing the way lock ownership is handled so that network and local filesystems work consistently. That would add more complexity though, so this solution seems to be preferred by most people.

* [PATCH] Keys: Fix race between two instantiators of a keyDavid Howells2006-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a revocation notification method to the key type and calls it whilst the key's semaphore is still write-locked after setting the revocation flag. The patch then uses this to maintain a reference on the task_struct of the process that calls request_key() for as long as the authorisation key remains unrevoked. This fixes a potential race between two processes both of which have assumed the authority to instantiate a key (one may have forked the other for example). The problem is that there's no locking around the check for revocation of the auth key and the use of the task_struct it points to, nor does the auth key keep a reference on the task_struct. Access to the "context" pointer in the auth key must thenceforth be done with the auth key semaphore held. The revocation method is called with the target key semaphore held write-locked and the search of the context process's keyrings is done with the auth key semaphore read-locked. The check for the revocation state of the auth key just prior to searching it is done after the auth key is read-locked for the search. This ensures that the auth key can't be revoked between the check and the search. The revocation notification method is added so that the context task_struct can be released as soon as instantiation happens rather than waiting for the auth key to be destroyed, thus avoiding the unnecessary pinning of the requesting process.

* [PATCH] Driver model: add ISA busRene Herman2006-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During the recent "isa drivers using platform devices" discussion it was pointed out that (ALSA) ISA drivers ran into the problem of not having the option to fail driver load (device registration rather) upon not finding their hardware due to a probe() error not being passed up through the driver model. In the course of that, I suggested a seperate ISA bus might be best; Russell King agreed and suggested this bus could use the .match() method for the actual device discovery. The attached does this. For this old non (generically) discoverable ISA hardware only the driver itself can do discovery so as a difference with the platform_bus, this isa_bus also distributes match() up to the driver. As another difference: these devices only exist in the driver model due to the driver creating them because it might want to drive them, meaning that all device creation has been made internal as well. The usage model this provides is nice, and has been acked from the ALSA side by Takashi Iwai and Jaroslav Kysela. The ALSA driver module_init's now (for oldisa-only drivers) become: static int __init alsa_card_foo_init(void) { return isa_register_driver(&snd_foo_isa_driver, SNDRV_CARDS); } static void __exit alsa_card_foo_exit(void) { isa_unregister_driver(&snd_foo_isa_driver); } Quite like the other bus models therefore. This removes a lot of duplicated init code from the ALSA ISA drivers. The passed in isa_driver struct is the regular driver struct embedding a struct device_driver, the normal probe/remove/shutdown/suspend/resume callbacks, and as indicated that .match callback. The "SNDRV_CARDS" you see being passed in is a "unsigned int ndev" parameter, indicating how many devices to create and call our methods with. The platform_driver callbacks are called with a platform_device param; the isa_driver callbacks are being called with a "struct device *dev, unsigned int id" pair directly -- with the device creation completely internal to the bus it's much cleaner to not leak isa_dev's by passing them in at all. The id is the only thing we ever want other then the struct device * anyways, and it makes for nicer code in the callbacks as well. With this additional .match() callback ISA drivers have all options. If ALSA would want to keep the old non-load behaviour, it could stick all of the old .probe in .match, which would only keep them registered after everything was found to be present and accounted for. If it wanted the behaviour of always loading as it inadvertently did for a bit after the changeover to platform devices, it could just not provide a .match() and do everything in .probe() as before. If it, as Takashi Iwai already suggested earlier as a way of following the model from saner buses more closely, wants to load when a later bind could conceivably succeed, it could use .match() for the prerequisites (such as checking the user wants the card enabled and that port/irq/dma values have been passed in) and .probe() for everything else. This is the nicest model. To the code... This exports only two functions; isa_{,un}register_driver(). isa_register_driver() register's the struct device_driver, and then loops over the passed in ndev creating devices and registering them. This causes the bus match method to be called for them, which is: int isa_bus_match(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *driver) { struct isa_driver *isa_driver = to_isa_driver(driver); if (dev->platform_data == isa_driver) { if (!isa_driver->match || isa_driver->match(dev, to_isa_dev(dev)->id)) return 1; dev->platform_data = NULL; } return 0; } The first thing this does is check if this device is in fact one of this driver's devices by seeing if the device's platform_data pointer is set to this driver. Platform devices compare strings, but we don't need to do that with everything being internal, so isa_register_driver() abuses dev->platform_data as a isa_driver pointer which we can then check here. I believe platform_data is available for this, but if rather not, moving the isa_driver pointer to the private struct isa_dev is ofcourse fine as well. Then, if the the driver did not provide a .match, it matches. If it did, the driver match() method is called to determine a match. If it did _not_ match, dev->platform_data is reset to indicate this to isa_register_driver which can then unregister the device again. If during all this, there's any error, or no devices matched at all everything is backed out again and the error, or -ENODEV, is returned. isa_unregister_driver() just unregisters the matched devices and the driver itself. More global points/questions... - I'm introducing include/linux/isa.h. It was available but is ofcourse a somewhat generic name. Moving more isa stuff over to it in time is ofcourse fine, so can I have it please? :) - I'm using device_initcall() and added the isa.o (dependent on CONFIG_ISA) after the base driver model things in the Makefile. Will this do, or I really need to stick it in drivers/base/init.c, inside #ifdef CONFIG_ISA? It's working fine. Lastly -- I also looked, a bit, into integrating with PnP. "Old ISA" could be another pnp_protocol, but this does not seem to be a good match, largely due to the same reason platform_devices weren't -- the devices do not have a life of their own outside the driver, meaning the pnp_protocol {get,set}_resources callbacks would need to callback into driver -- which again means you first need to _have_ that driver. Even if there's clean way around that, you only end up inventing fake but valid-form PnP IDs and generally catering to the PnP layer without any practical advantages over this very simple isa_bus. The thing I also suggested earlier about the user echoing values into /sys to set up the hardware from userspace first is... well, cute, but a horrible idea from a user standpoint. Comments ofcourse appreciated. Hope it's okay. As said, the usage model is nice at least. Signed-off-by: Rene Herman <rene.herman@keyaccess.nl>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The RQ_SCSI_* flags are a vestiage of a long past history. The EH code still sets them but we never make use of that information. The other users is pluto.c which never had a chance to work but needs to be kept compiling to keep Davem happy, so copy over the definition there. We could probably get rid of RQ_ACTIVE/RQ_INACTIVE aswell with some work, there's only two more or less bogus looking uses in ubd and scsi.

| * | [SCSI] iscsi: fix writepsace raceMike Christie2006-06-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can race and misset the suspend bit if iscsi_write_space is called then iscsi_send returns with a failure indicating there is no space. To handle this this patch returns a error upwards allowing xmitworker to decide if we need to try and transmit again. For the no write space case xmitworker will not retry, and instead let iscsi_write_space queue it back up if needed (this relies on the work queue code to properly requeue us if needed).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do not flush queues then block session. This will cause commands to needlessly swing around on us and remove goofy recovery_failed field and replace with state value. And do not start recovery from within the host reset function. This causeis too many problems becuase open-iscsi was desinged to call out to userspace then have userpscae decide if we should go into recovery or kill the session.

| * | [SCSI] iscsi: increment expstatsn during loginMike Christie2006-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | debugged by Ming and Rohan: The problem Ming and Rohan debugged was that during a normal session login, open-iscsi is not incrementing the exp_statsn counter. It was stuck at zero. From the RFC, it looks like if the login response PDU has a successful status then we should be incrementing that value. Also from the RFC, it looks like if when we drop a connection then reconnect, we should be using the exp_statsn from the old connection in the next relogin attempt.

| * | [SCSI] dc395x: dynamically map scatter-gather for PIOGuennadi Liakhovetski2006-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current dc395x driver uses PIO to transfer up to 4 bytes which do not get transferred by DMA (under unclear circumstances). For this the driver uses page_address() which is broken on highmem. Apart from this the actual calculation of the virtual address is wrong (even without highmem). So, e.g., for reading it reads bytes from the driver to a wrong address and returns wrong data, I guess, for writing it would just output random data to the device. The proper fix, as suggested by many, is to dynamically map data using kmap_atomic(page, KM_BIO_SRC_IRQ) / kunmap_atomic(virt). The reason why it has not been done until now, although I've done some preliminary patches more than a year ago was that nobody interested in fixing this problem was able to reliably reproduce it. Now it changed - with the help from Sebastian Frei (CC'ed) I was able to trigger the PIO path. Thus, I was also able to test and debug it. There are 4 cases when PIO is used in dc395x - data-in / -out with and without scatter-gather. I was able to reproduce and test only data-in with and without SG. So, the data-out path is still untested, but it is also somewhat simpler than the data-in. Fredrik Roubert (also CC'ed) also had PIO triggering on his system, and in his case it was data-out without SG. It would be great if he could test the attached patch on his system, but even if he cannot, I would still request to apply the patch and just wait if anybody cries... Implementation: I put 2 new functions in scsi_lib.c and their declarations in scsi_cmnd.h. I exported them without _GPL, although, I don't feel strongly about that - not many drivers are likely to use them. But there is at least one more - I want to use them in tmscsim.c. Whether these are the right files for the functions and their declarations - not sure either. Actually, they are not scsi-specific, so, might go somewhere around other scattergather magic? They are not platform specific either, and most SG functions are defined under arch/*/... As these issues were discussed previously there were some more routines suggested to manipulate scattergather buffers, I think, some of them were needed around crypto code... So, might be a common place reasonable, like lib/scattergather.c? I am open here. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

| * | | [SCSI] iscsi: add libiscsiMike Christie2006-04-14

This patch puts the duplicated code in a lib. There is more code to move around but this takes care of the basics. For iscsi_offload if they use the lib we will probably move some things around. For example in the queuecommand we will not assume that the LLD wants to do queue_work, but it is better to handle that later when we know for sure what iscsi_offload looks like (we could probably do this for iscsi_iser though to). Ideally I would like to get the iscsi_transports modules to a place where all they really have to do is put data on the wire, but how to do that will hopefully be more clear when we see other modules like iscsi_offload. Or maybe iscsi_offload will not use the lib and it will just be iscsi_iser and iscsi_tcp and maybe the iscsi_tcp_tgt if that is allowed in mainline.

| * | | [SCSI] iscsi: fix up iscsi ehMike Christie2006-04-14

The attached patch: - Fixes the TMF issues. If a session is rebuilt then we do not send aborts. - Fixes the problem where if the host reset fired, we would return SUCCESS even though we had not really done anything yet. This ends up causing problem with scsi_error.c's TUR. - If someone has turned on the userspace nop daemon code to try and detect network problems before the scsi command timeout we can now drop and clean up the session before the scsi command timesout and fires the eh speeding up the time it takes for a command to go from one patch to another. For network problems we fail the command with DID_BUS_BUSY so if failfast is set scsi_decide_disposition fails the command up to dm for it to try on another path. - And we had to add some basic iscsi session block code. Previously if we were trying to repair a session we would retrun a MLQUEUE code in the queuecommand. This worked but it was not the most efficient or pretty thing to do since it would take a while to relogin to the target. For iscsi_tcp/open-iscsi a lot of the iscsi error handler is in userspace the block code is pretty bare. We will be adding to that for qla4xxx.
