* Revert mount/umount uevent removalGreg Kroah-Hartman2006-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change reverts the 033b96fd30db52a710d97b06f87d16fc59fee0f1 commit from Kay Sievers that removed the mount/umount uevents from the kernel. Some older versions of HAL still depend on these events to detect when a new device has been mounted. These events are not correctly emitted, and are broken by design, and so, should not be relied upon by any future program. Instead, the /proc/mounts file should be polled to properly detect this kind of event. A feature-removal-schedule.txt entry has been added, noting when this interface will be removed from the kernel.

* [PATCH] Fix over-zealous tag clearing in radix_tree_deleteNeilBrown2006-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a tag is set for a node being deleted from a radix_tree, then that tag gets cleared from the parent of the node, even if it is set for some siblings of the node begin deleted. This patch changes the logic to include a test for any_tag_set similar to the logic a little futher down. Care is taken to ensure that 'nr_cleared_tags' remains equals to the number of entries in the 'tags' array which are set to '0' (which means that this tag is not set in the tree below pathp->node, and should be cleared at pathp->node and possibly above. [ Nick says: "Linus FYI, I was able to modify the radix tree test harness to catch the bug and can no longer trigger it after the fix.

* | [PATCH] Fix spinlock debugging delays to not time out too earlyIngo Molnar2006-02-07
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The spinlock-debug wait-loop was using loops_per_jiffy to detect too long spinlock waits - but on fast CPUs this led to a way too fast timeout and false messages. The fix is to include a __delay(1) call in the loop, to correctly approximate the intended delay timeout of 1 second. The code assumes that every architecture implements __delay(1) to last around 1/(loops_per_jiffy*HZ) seconds.

* [PATCH] Introduce __iowrite32_copyBryan O'Sullivan2006-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This arch-independent routine copies data to a memory-mapped I/O region, using 32-bit accesses. The naming is double-underscored to make it clear that it does not guarantee write ordering, nor does it perform a memory barrier afterwards; the kernel doc also explicitly states this. This style of access is required by some devices. This change also introduces include/linux/io.h, at Andrew's suggestion. It only has one occupant at the moment, but is a logical destination for oft-replicated contents of include/asm-*/{io,iomap}.h to migrate to.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Use function pointers to call DMA mapping functionsMuli Ben-Yehuda2006-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AK: I hacked Muli's original patch a lot and there were a lot of changes - all bugs are probably to blame on me now. There were also some changes in the fall back behaviour for swiotlb - in particular it doesn't try to use GFP_DMA now anymore. Also all DMA mapping operations use the same core dma_alloc_coherent code with proper fallbacks now. And various other changes and cleanups. Known problems: iommu=force swiotlb=force together breaks needs more testing. This patch cleans up x86_64's DMA mapping dispatching code. Right now we have three possible IOMMU types: AGP GART, swiotlb and nommu, and in the future we will also have Xen's x86_64 swiotlb and other HW IOMMUs for x86_64. In order to support all of them cleanly, this patch: - introduces a struct dma_mapping_ops with function pointers for each of the DMA mapping operations of gart (AMD HW IOMMU), swiotlb (software IOMMU) and nommu (no IOMMU). - gets rid of: if (swiotlb) return swiotlb_xxx(); - PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS is now checked against the dma_ops being set This makes swiotlb faster by avoiding double copying in some cases.

* [PATCH] cpuset: better bitmap remap defaultsPaul Jackson2006-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the default behaviour for the remap operators in bitmap, cpumask and nodemask. As previously submitted, the pair of masks <A, B> defined a map of the positions of the set bits in A to the corresponding bits in B. This is still true. The issue is how to map the other positions, corresponding to the unset (0) bits in A. As previously submitted, they were all mapped to the first set bit position in B, a constant map. When I tried to code per-vma mempolicy rebinding using these remap operators, I realized this was wrong. This patch changes the default to map all the unset bit positions in A to the same positions in B, the identity map. For example, if A has bits 4-7 set, and B has bits 9-12 set, then the map defined by the pair <A, B> maps each bit position in the first 32 bits as follows: 0 ==> 0 ... 3 ==> 3 4 ==> 9 ... 7 ==> 12 8 ==> 8 9 ==> 9 ... 31 ==> 31 This now corresponds to the typical behaviour desired when migrating pages and policies from one cpuset to another. The pages on nodes within the original cpuset, and the references in memory policies to nodes within the original cpuset, are migrated to the corresponding cpuset-relative nodes in the destination cpuset. Other pages and node references are left untouched. Signed-off-by: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

For example, if a tag is simply not set in the deleted item, nor anywhere up the tree, radix_tree_delete() would attempt to clear it up the entire height of the tree. Also, tag_set() was made conditional so as not to dirty too many cachelines high up in the radix tree. Instead, put this logic into radix_tree_tag_set().

* [PATCH] klist: Fix broken kref counting in find functionsFrank Pavlic2006-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The klist reference counting in the find functions that use klist_iter_init_node is broken. If the function (for example driver_find_device) is called with a NULL start object then everything is fine, the first call to next_device()/klist_next increases the ref-count of the first node on the list and does nothing for the start object which is NULL. If they are called with a valid start object then klist_next will decrement the ref-count for the start object but nobody has incremented it. Logical place to fix this would be klist_iter_init_node because the function puts a reference of the object into the klist_iter struct.

The netlink layer got a nice generic interface with named slots recently, which is probably a better facility to plug events for subsystem specific events. Also the new poll() interface to /proc/mounts is a nicer way to notify about changes than sending events through the core.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

| | * [PATCH] lib/string.c cleanup: restore useful memmove constPaul Jackson2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A couple of (char *) casts removed in a previous cleanup patch in lib/string.c:memmove() were actually useful, as they suppressed a couple of warnings: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type Fix by declaring the local variable const in the first place, so casts aren't needed to strip the const qualifier.

| | * [PATCH] RCU torture-testing kernel modulePaul E. McKenney2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is a rewrite of the one submitted on October 1st, using modules (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112819093522998&w=2). This rewrite adds a tristate CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST, which enables an intense torture test of the RCU infratructure. This is needed due to the continued changes to the RCU infrastructure to accommodate dynamic ticks, CPU hotplug, realtime, and so on. Most of the code is in a separate file that is compiled only if the CONFIG variable is set. Documentation on how to run the test and interpret the output is also included. This code has been tested on i386 and ppc64, and an earlier version of the code has received extensive testing on a number of architectures as part of the PREEMPT_RT patchset. Signed-off-by: "Paul E.
