| * lib/scatterlist.c: fix kunmap() argument in sg_miter_stop()Arjan van de Ven2008-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kunmap() takes as argument the struct page that orginally got kmap()'d, however the sg_miter_stop() function passed it the kernel virtual address instead, resulting in weird stuff. Somehow I ended up fixing this bug by accident while looking for a bug in the same area.

| * swiotlb: use coherent_dma_mask in alloc_coherentFUJITA Tomonori2008-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix DMA buffer allocation coherency bug in certain configs This patch fixes swiotlb to use dev->coherent_dma_mask in swiotlb_alloc_coherent(). coherent_dma_mask is a subset of dma_mask (equal to it most of the time), enumerating the address range that a given device is able to DMA to/from in a cache-coherent way. But currently, swiotlb uses dev->dma_mask in alloc_coherent() implicitly via address_needs_mapping(), but alloc_coherent is really supposed to use coherent_dma_mask. This bug could break drivers that uses smaller coherent_dma_mask than dma_mask (though the current code works for the majority that use the same mask for coherent_dma_mask and dma_mask).

Eventually, we want to head towards an undefined 'struct cpumask' so they can never be declared on stack. 1) New cpumask functions which take pointers instead of copies. (cpus_* -> cpumask_*) 2) Several new helpers to reduce requirements for temporary cpumasks (cpumask_first_and, cpumask_next_and, cpumask_any_and) 3) Helpers for declaring cpumasks on or offstack for large NR_CPUS (cpumask_var_t, alloc_cpumask_var and free_cpumask_var) 4) 'struct cpumask' for explicitness and to mark new-style code. 5) Make iterator functions stop at nr_cpu_ids (a runtime constant), not NR_CPUS for time efficiency and for smaller dynamic allocations in future. 6) cpumask_copy() so we can allocate less than a full cpumask eventually (for alloc_cpumask_var), and so we can eliminate the 'struct cpumask' definition eventually. 7) work_on_cpu() helper for doing task on a CPU, rather than saving old cpumask for current thread and manipulating it. 8) smp_call_function_many() which is smp_call_function_mask() except taking a cpumask pointer. Note that this patch simply introduces the new functions and leaves the obsolescent ones in place. This is to simplify the transition patches.

| * Driver core: fix 'dynamic_debug' cmd line parameterJason Baron2008-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In testing 2.6.28-rc1, I found that passing 'dynamic_printk' on the command line didn't activate the debug code. The problem is that dynamic_printk_setup() (which activates the debugging) is being called before dynamic_printk_init() is called (which initializes infrastructure). Fix this by setting setting the state to 'DYNAMIC_ENABLED_ALL' in dynamic_printk_setup(), which will also cause all subsequent modules to have debugging automatically started, which is probably the behavior we want.

However, alloc_coherent failure is not a disaster at all. AFAIK, none of other x86 and IA64 IOMMU implementations don't crash in case of alloc_coherent failure. There are some drivers that don't check alloc_coherent failure but not many (about ten and I've already started to fix some of them). alloc_coherent returns NULL in case of failure so it's likely that these guilty drivers crash immediately. So swiotlb doesn't need to call panic() just for them.

| * | | [SCSI] lib: string_get_size(): don't hang on zero; no decimals on exactH. Peter Anvin2008-10-23
| | |/ | |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We would hang forever when passing a zero to string_get_size(). Furthermore, string_get_size() would produce decimals on a value small enough to be exact. Finally, a few formatting issues are inconsistent with standard SI style guidelines. - If the value is less than the divisor, skip the entire rounding step. This prints out all small values including zero as integers, without decimals. - Add a space between the value and the symbol for the unit, consistent with standard SI practice. - Lower case k in kB since we are talking about powers of 10. - Finally, change "int" to "unsigned int" in one place to shut up a gcc warning when compiling the code out-of-kernel for testing.

This patch documents the previously unstated requirement of kobject_rename that is the responsibility of the caller to provide mutual exclusion and to be certain that the new_name for the kobject is valid. This patch modifies sysfs_rename_dir in !CONFIG_SYSFS case to call kobject_set_name to actually change the kobject_name. This patch removes the bogus and misleading check in kobject_rename that attempts to see if a rename is valid. The check is bogus because we do not have the proper locking. The check is misleading because it looks like we can and do perform checking at the kobject level that we don't. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

I've introduced CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, which when enabled centralizes control of debugging statements on a per-module basis in one /proc file, currently, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. When, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, is not set, debugging statements can still be enabled as before, often by defining 'DEBUG' for the proper compilation unit. Thus, this patch set has no affect when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is not set. The infrastructure currently ties into all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. That is, if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set, all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls can be dynamically enabled/disabled on a per-module basis. Future plans include extending this functionality to subsystems, that define their own debug levels and flags. Usage: Dynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that can be enabled. The format of the file is as follows: <module_name> <enabled=0/1> . . . <module_name> : Name of the module in which the debug call resides <enabled=0/1> : whether the messages are enabled or not For example: snd_hda_intel enabled=0 fixup enabled=1 driver enabled=0 Enable a module: $echo "set enabled=1 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules Disable a module: $echo "set enabled=0 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules Enable all modules: $echo "set enabled=1 all" > dynamic_printk/modules Disable all modules: $echo "set enabled=0 all" > dynamic_printk/modules Finally, passing "dynamic_printk" at the command line enables debugging for all modules. This mode can be turned off via the above disable command.

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using "def_bool n" is pointless, simply using bool here appears more appropriate. Further, retaining such options that don't have a prompt and aren't selected by anything seems also at least questionable.

* | vfs: Use const for kernel parser tableSteven Whitehouse2008-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a much better version of a previous patch to make the parser tables constant. Rather than changing the typedef, we put the "const" in all the various places where its required, allowing the __initconst exception for nfsroot which was the cause of the previous trouble. This was posted for review some time ago and I believe its been in -mm since then.
