With internal Xen-enabled kernels we see the kernel's static per-cpu data area exceed the limit of 32k on x86-64, and even native x86-64 kernels get fairly close to that limit. I generally question whether it is reasonable to have data structures several kb in size allocated as per-cpu data when the space there is rather limited. The biggest arch-independent consumer is tvec_bases (over 4k on 32-bit archs, over 8k on 64-bit ones), which now gets converted to use dynamically allocated memory instead. Signed-off-by:

__rcu_process_callbacks() disables interrupts to protect itself from call_rcu() which adds new entries to ->nxtlist. However we can check "->nxtlist != NULL" with interrupts enabled, we can't get "false positives" because call_rcu() can only change this condition from 0 to 1. Tested with rcutorture.ko.

When (integer) sysctl values are in either seconds or centiseconds, but represented internally as jiffies, the allowable value range is decreased. This patch adds range checks to the conversion routines. For values in seconds: maximum LONG_MAX / HZ. For values in centiseconds: maximum (LONG_MAX / HZ) * USER_HZ. (BTW, does anyone else feel that an interface in seconds should not be accepting negative values?) Signed-off-by:

Make that the internal value for /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode is stored as jiffies instead of seconds. Let the sysctl interface do the conversions, instead of doing on-the-fly conversions every time the value is used. Add a description of the fact that laptop_mode doubles as a flag and a timeout to the comment above the laptop_mode variable. Signed-off-by:

Make that the internal values for: /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs are stored as jiffies instead of centiseconds. Let the sysctl interface do the conversions with full precision using clock_t_to_jiffies, instead of doing overflow-sensitive on-the-fly conversions every time the values are used. Cons: apparent precision loss if HZ is not a multiple of 100, because of conversion back and forth. This is a common problem for all sysctl values that use proc_dointvec_userhz_jiffies. (There is only one other in-tree use, in net/core/neighbour.c.) Signed-off-by:

Restructure the bitmap_*_region() operations, to avoid code duplication. Also reduces binary text size by about 100 bytes (ia64 arch). The original Bottomley bitmap_*_region patch added about 1000 bytes of compiled kernel text (ia64). The Mundt multiword extension added another 600 bytes, and this restructuring patch gets back about 100 bytes. But the real motivation was the reduced amount of duplicated code. Tested by Paul Mundt using <= BITS_PER_LONG as well as power of 2 aligned multiword spanning allocations. Signed-off-by:

Add support to the lib/bitmap.c bitmap_*_region() routines For bitmap regions larger than one word (nbits > BITS_PER_LONG). This removes a BUG_ON() in lib bitmap. I have an updated store queue API for SH that is currently using this with relative success, and at first glance, it seems like this could be useful for x86 (arch/i386/kernel/pci-dma.c) as well. Particularly for anything using dma_declare_coherent_memory() on large areas and that attempts to allocate large buffers from that space. Paul Jackson also did some cleanup to this patch.

Paul Jackson authored
Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> says: This patch set implements a number of patches to clean up and restructure the bitmap region code, in addition to extending the interface to support multiword spanning allocations. The current implementation (before this patch set) is limited by only being able to allocate pages <= BITS_PER_LONG, as noted by the strategically positioned BUG_ON() at lib/bitmap.c:752: /* We don't do regions of pages > BITS_PER_LONG. The * algorithm would be a simple look for multiple zeros in the * array, but there's no driver today that needs this. If you * trip this BUG(), you get to code it... */ BUG_ON(pages > BITS_PER_LONG); As I seem to have been the first person to trigger this, the result ends up being the following patch set with the help of Paul Jackson. The final patch in the series eliminates quite a bit of code duplication, so the bitmap code size ends up being smaller than the current implementation as an added bonus. After these are applied, it should already be possible to do multiword allocations with dma_alloc_coherent() out of ranges established by dma_declare_coherent_memory() on x86 without having to change any of the code, and the SH store queue API will follow up on this as the other user that needs support for this. This patch: Some code cleanup on the lib/bitmap.c bitmap_*_region() routines: * spacing * variable names * comments Has no change to code function. Signed-off-by: -

Undetected edge case for CRT messages to CEX2A caused length to be too short, thus truncating the message. The solution was to check a different variable which actually determines which key type is being used. Increment version number in z90main.c to correct level of 1.3.3, fix copyright year and add comment about bitlength limit of CEX2A. Signed-off-by:

If a tape device is assigned to another host, the interrupt for the assign operation comes back with deferred condition code 1. Under some conditions this can lead to an endless loop of retries. Check if the current request is still in IO in deferred condition code handling and prevent retries when the request has already been cancelled. Signed-off-by:

Michael Holzheu authored
When a request is aborted because of a signal, we currently stop the request via csh, but we do not wait for the interrupt of csh in any case. We free the request structure and therefore when the interrupt for the csh operation is presented, the request object is no longer valid and an invalid callback pointer is used. To fix this wait until the interrupt for csh arrives and until wait_event_interruptible() does not return -ERESTARTSYS. Signed-off-by:

Stefan Bader authored
If a deferred CC happens there will be lots of messages, because the retry is done immediatly in the interrupt handler which can be too fast. To avoid this requeue the request and schedule the queue to be processed. Signed-off-by:

dasd_cmd just implements three ioctls which are wrappers around functionality in the core kernel or other modules. When merging those into dasd_mod they just add 22 lines of code which is far less than the amount of code removed in the last two patches, and which doesn't spill into another 4k pages when build modular, while removing a 128lines module.

Add an ->ioctl method to the dasd_discipline structure. This allows to apply the same kind of cleanups the last patch applied to dasd_ioctl.c to dasd_eckd.c (the only dasd discipline with special ioctls) aswell. Again lots of code removed. During auditing the ioctls I found two fishy return value propagations from copy_{from,to}_user, maintainers please check those, I've marked them with XXX comments. Signed-off-by: -
Christoph Hellwig authored
Handle ioctls implemented in dasd_ioctl through the normal switch statement that most drivers use instead of the awkward dasd_ioctl_no_register routine. This avoids searching a linear list on every call to dasd_ioctl(), and allows to give the various ioctl implementation functions sane prototypes, aswell as moving the check for bdev->bd_disk->private_data from the individual functions to dasd_ioctl. (I think it can't actually every be NULL, but let's keep that for later) Signed-off-by:
