      blktrace: print human-readable act_mask · 09341997
      Li Zefan authored
      Impact: new feature, allow symbolic values in /debug/tracing/act_mask
      
      Print stringified act_mask instead of hex value:
      
       # cat act_mask
       read,write,barrier,sync,queue,requeue,issue,complete,fs,pc,ahead,meta,
       discard,drv_data
       # echo "meta,write" > act_mask
       # cat act_mask
       write,meta
      
      Also:
       - make act_mask accept "ahead", "meta", "discard" and "drv_data"
       - use strsep() instead of strchr() to parse user input
       - return -EINVAL if a token is not found in the mask map
       - fix a bug that 'value' is unsigned, so it can < 0
       - propagate error value of blk_trace_mask2str() to userspace, but not
         always return -ENXIO.

      aio: lookup_ioctx can return the wrong value when looking up a bogus context · 65c24491
      Jeff Moyer authored
      The libaio test harness turned up a problem whereby lookup_ioctx on a
      bogus io context was returning the 1 valid io context from the list
      (harness/cases/3.p).
      
      Because of that, an extra put_iocontext was done, and when the process
      exited, it hit a BUG_ON in the put_iocontext macro called from exit_aio
      (since we expect a users count of 1 and instead get 0).
      
      The problem was introduced by "aio: make the lookup_ioctx() lockless"
      (commit abf137dd).
      
      Thanks to Zach for pointing out that hlist_for_each_entry_rcu will not
      return with a NULL tpos at the end of the loop, even if the entry was
      not found.

      eventfd: remove fput() call from possible IRQ context · 87c3a86e
      Davide Libenzi authored
      Remove a source of fput() call from inside IRQ context.  Myself, like Eric,
      wasn't able to reproduce an fput() call from IRQ context, but Jeff said he was
      able to, with the attached test program.  Independently from this, the bug is
      conceptually there, so we might be better off fixing it.  This patch adds an
      optimization similar to the one we already do on ->ki_filp, on ->ki_eventfd.
      Playing with ->f_count directly is not pretty in general, but the alternative
      here would be to add a brand new delayed fput() infrastructure, that I'm not
      sure is worth it.

      Fix race in create_empty_buffers() vs __set_page_dirty_buffers() · a8e7d49a
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Nick Piggin noticed this (very unlikely) race between setting a page
      dirty and creating the buffers for it - we need to hold the mapping
      private_lock until we've set the page dirty bit in order to make sure
      that create_empty_buffers() might not build up a set of buffers without
      the dirty bits set when the page is dirty.
      
      I doubt anybody has ever hit this race (and it didn't solve the issue
      Nick was looking at), but as Nick says: "Still, it does appear to solve
      a real race, which we should close."

      Add '-fwrapv' to gcc CFLAGS · 68df3755
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This makes sure that gcc doesn't try to optimize away wrapping
      arithmetic, which the kernel occasionally uses for overflow testing, ie
      things like
      
      	if (ptr + offset < ptr)
      
      which technically is undefined for non-unsigned types. See
      
      	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12597
      
      for details.
      
      Not all versions of gcc support it, so we need to make it conditional
      (it looks like it was introduced in gcc-3.4).

      tracing/ring-buffer: fix non cpu hotplug case · 3bf832ce
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Impact: fix warning with irqsoff tracer
      
      The ring buffer allocates its buffers on pre-smp time (early_initcall).
      It means that, at first, only the boot cpu buffer is allocated and
      the ring-buffer cpumask only has the boot cpu set (cpu_online_mask).
      
      Later, the secondary cpu will show up and the ring-buffer will be notified
      about this event: the appropriate buffer will be allocated and the cpumask
      will be updated.
      
      Unfortunately, if !CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG, the ring-buffer will not be
      notified about the secondary cpus, meaning that the cpumask will have
      only the cpu boot set, and only one cpu buffer allocated.
      
      We fix that by using cpu_possible_mask if !CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG.
      
      This patch fixes the following warning with irqsoff tracer running:

      Because this tracer may try to swap two cpu ring buffers for an
      unregistered cpu on the ring buffer.
      
      This patch might also fix a fair loss of traces due to unallocated buffers
      for secondary cpus.
