Since path_walk sets the total_link_count to 0 and calls link_path_walk, we can just call path_walk directly. Signed-off-by:

Fix tty_set_ldisc in tty_io.c so that tty->receive_room is only cleared if actually changing line disciplines. Without this fix a problem occurs when requesting the line discipline to change to the same line discipline. In this case tty->receive_room is cleared but ldisc->open() is not called to set tty->receive_room back to a sane value. The result is that tty->receive_room is stuck at 0 preventing the tty flip buffer from passing receive data to the line discipline. For example: a switch from N_TTY to N_TTY followed by a select() call for read input results in data never being received because tty->receive_room is stuck at zero. A switch from N_TTY to N_TTY followed by a read() call works because the read() call itself sets tty->receive_room correctly (but select does not). Previously (< 2.6.18) this was not a problem because the tty flip buffer pushed data to the line discipline without regard for tty->receive room. Signed-off-by:

This patch moves the sig_kernel_* and related macros from kernel/signal.c to linux/signal.h, and cleans them up slightly. I need the sig_kernel_* macros for default signal behavior in the utrace code, and want to avoid duplication or overhead to share the knowledge. Signed-off-by:

When cpuset is configured, it breaks the strict hugetlb page reservation as the accounting is done on a global variable. Such reservation is completely rubbish in the presence of cpuset because the reservation is not checked against page availability for the current cpuset. Application can still potentially OOM'ed by kernel with lack of free htlb page in cpuset that the task is in. Attempt to enforce strict accounting with cpuset is almost impossible (or too ugly) because cpuset is too fluid that task or memory node can be dynamically moved between cpusets. The change of semantics for shared hugetlb mapping with cpuset is undesirable. However, in order to preserve some of the semantics, we fall back to check against current free page availability as a best attempt and hopefully to minimize the impact of changing semantics that cpuset has on hugetlb.

The MCA bus has a few "integrated" functions, which are effectively virtual slots on the bus. The problem is that these special functions don't have dedicated pos IDs, so we have to manufacture ids for them outside the pos space ... and these ids can't be matched by the standard matching function, so add a special registration that requests a list of pos ids or a particular integrated function.

There's a bug in the MCA bus matching algorithm in that it promotes from signed short to int before comparing with the actual id and does sign extension on anything > 0x7fff (which means that pos ids > 0x7fff never get correctly matched). Signed-off-by:

hard_smp_processor_id used to be just a macro that hard-coded hard_smp_processor_id to 0 in the non SMP case. When booting non SMP kernels on hardware where the boot ioapic id is not 0 this turns out to be a problem. This is happens frequently in the case of kdump and once in a great while in the case of real hardware. Use the APIC to determine the hardware processor id in both UP and SMP kernels to fix this issue. Notice that hard_smp_processor_id is only used by SMP code or by code that works with apics so we do not need to handle the case when apics are not present and hard_smp_processor_id should never be called there.

With the advent of kdump, the assumption that the boot CPU when booting an UP kernel is always the CPU with a particular hardware ID (often 0) (usually referred to as BSP on some architectures) is not valid anymore. The reason being that the dump capture kernel boots on the crashed CPU (the CPU that invoked crash_kexec), which may be or may not be that particular CPU. Move definition of hard_smp_processor_id for the UP case to architecture-specific code ("asm/smp.h") where it belongs, so that each architecture can provide its own implementation. Signed-off-by: -

[ With Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> ] Separate the hibernation (aka suspend to disk code) from the other suspend code. In particular: * Remove the definitions related to hibernation from include/linux/pm.h * Introduce struct hibernation_ops and a new hibernate() function to hibernate the system, defined in include/linux/suspend.h * Separate suspend code in kernel/power/main.c from hibernation-related code in kernel/power/disk.c and kernel/power/user.c (with the help of hibernation_ops) * Switch ACPI (the only user of pm_ops.pm_disk_mode) to hibernation_ops Signed-off-by:

The internal hugetlb resv_huge_pages variable can permanently leak nonzero value in the error path of hugetlb page fault handler when hugetlb page is used in combination of cpuset. The leaked count can permanently trap N number of hugetlb pages in unusable "reserved" state. Steps to reproduce the bug: (1) create two cpuset, user1 and user2 (2) reserve 50 htlb pages in cpuset user1 (3) attempt to shmget/shmat 50 htlb page inside cpuset user2 (4) kernel oom the user process in step 3 (5) ipcrm the shm segment At this point resv_huge_pages will have a count of 49, even though there are no active hugetlbfs file nor hugetlb shared memory segment in the system. The leak is permanent and there is no recovery method other than system reboot. The leaked count will hold up all future use of that many htlb pages in all cpusets. The culprit is that the error path of alloc_huge_page() did not properly undo the change it made to resv_huge_page, causing inconsistent state. Signed-off-by:

This patch removes the possibility of having uninitialized log state if the log device has failed. When a mirror resumes operation, it calls 'resume' on the logging module. If disk based logging is being used, the log device is read to fill in the log state. If the log device has failed, we cannot simply return, because this would leave the in-memory log state uninitialized. Instead, we assume all regions are out-of-sync and reset the log state. Failure to do this could result in the logging code reporting a region as in-sync, even though it isn't; which could result in a corrupted mirror. Signed-off-by:

The call to rh_in_sync() in do_reads() should be allowed to block. It is in the mirror worker thread which already permits blocking operations. This will be needed to support clustered mirroring which will perform network operations. Signed-off-by:

Jonathan Brassow authored
With the code as it is, it is possible for oustanding clear region requests never to get flushed when a mirror is deactivated or suspended. This means there will always be some resync work required when a mirror is activated, even though it may very well be in-sync. Always requesting the flush doesn't hurt us. This is because the log tracks whether any changes occurred and, if not, no flush is performed. Signed-off-by:
