When the scsi_execute_async interface was added it ended up reducing the flexibility of userspace to send arbitrary scsi commands through sg using SG_IO. The SG_IO interface allows userspace to specify the CDB length. This is now ignored in scsi_execute_async and it is guessed using the COMMAND_SIZE macro, which is not always correct, particularly for vendor specific commands. This patch adds a cmd_len parameter to the scsi_execute_async interface to allow the caller to specify the length of the CDB. Signed-off-by:

Resetting the adapter causes the ServeRAID driver to exceed the max time allowed by the softlock watchdog. Resetting the hardware can easily require 30 or more seconds. To avoid the "BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!" result, this patch replaces the mdelay() calls in the initialization/reset routines with msleep().

Internal lun discovery has been removed since fc_transport integration. Short-circuiting for tape-devices in qla2x00_update_fcport() could inadvertently result in a blocked rport timing-out and its targets being reaped. Signed-off-by:

A target can LOGO an initiator at any time (i.e. during I/O, due to a controller hicup, or as a simple authentication mechanism after an initial CDB command), when this occurs, the driver attempts to relogin (PLOGI) to the device via the DPC thread. Add code to make the appropriate upcall to the FC transport layer (fc_remote_port_add()) upon successful completion of the PLOGI. Signed-off-by:

The driver can typically detect port-loss during an interrupt context (i.e. via interrogation of a status IOCB's completion status [CS_PORT_LOGGED_OUT]. Due to the calling requirements of the fc_rport APIs, the driver would defer removal of the device to the default workqueue. If the work-item was preceded by an event which caused the port to obtain visibility (relogin successful, target re-logged into the topology), deferred removal could inadvertently drop the rport. The code also no longer defers removal via the default workqueue, instead opting for use of the driver's own DPC thread. Signed-off-by:

The patch below "fixes" calculation of the virt_addr for the AUTO_REQSENSE case. I put "fixes" in quotes because the real fix would be to completely remove it, but that's beyond the scope of this patch. Signed-off-by:

New versions of the Power5 firmware can send a "re-enable" message to the virtual scsi adapter. This fix makes us handle the message correctly. Without it, the driver goes catatonic and the system crashes unpleasantly. Signed-off-by:

The compat layer timeout handling changes in: 9f72949f are busted. This is most easily seen with an X application that uses sub-second select/poll timeout such as emacs. You hit a key and it takes a second or so before the app responds. The two ROUND_UP() calls upon entry are using {tv,ts}_sec where it should instead be using {tv_usec,ts_nsec}, which perfectly explains the observed incorrect behavior. Another bug shot down with git bisect. Signed-off-by:

This is a subset of the bluesmoke project core code, stripped of the NMI work which isn't ready to merge and some of the "interesting" proc functionality that needs reworking or just has no place in kernel. It requires no core kernel changes except the added scrub functions already posted. The goal is to merge further functionality only after the core code is accepted and proven in the base kernel, and only at the point the upstream extras are really ready to merge. From: doug thompson <norsk5@xmission.com> This converts EDAC to sysfs and is the final chunk neccessary before EDAC has a stable user space API and can be considered for submission into the base kernel.

EDAC requires a way to scrub memory if an ECC error is found and the chipset does not do the work automatically. That means rewriting memory locations atomically with respect to all CPUs _and_ bus masters. That means we can't use atomic_add(foo, 0) as it gets optimised for non-SMP This adds a function to include/asm-foo/atomic.h for the platforms currently supported which implements a scrub of a mapped block. It also adjusts a few other files include order where atomic.h is included before types.h as this now causes an error as atomic_scrub uses u32. Signed-off-by:

Add the sys_pselect6() and sys_poll() calls to the i386 syscall table. Signed-off-by:
David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by:

David Woodhouse authored
The following implementation of ppoll() and pselect() system calls depends on the architecture providing a TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag in the thread_info. These system calls have to change the signal mask during their operation, and signal handlers must be invoked using the new, temporary signal mask. The old signal mask must be restored either upon successful exit from the system call, or upon returning from the invoked signal handler if the system call is interrupted. We can't simply restore the original signal mask and return to userspace, since the restored signal mask may actually block the signal which interrupted the system call. The TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag deals with this by causing the syscall exit path to trap into do_signal() just as TIF_SIGPENDING does, and by causing do_signal() to use the saved signal mask instead of the current signal mask when setting up the stack frame for the signal handler -- or by causing do_signal() to simply restore the saved signal mask in the case where there is no handler to be invoked. The first patch implements the sys_pselect() and sys_ppoll() system calls, which are present only if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is defined. That #ifdef should go away in time when all architectures have implemented it. The second patch implements TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for the PowerPC kernel (in the -mm tree), and the third patch then removes the arch-specific implementations of sys_rt_sigsuspend() and replaces them with generic versions using the same trick. The fourth and fifth patches, provided by David Howells, implement TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for FR-V and i386 respectively, and the sixth patch adds the syscalls to the i386 syscall table. This patch: Add the pselect() and ppoll() system calls, providing core routines usable by the original select() and poll() system calls and also the new calls (with their semantics w.r.t timeouts).

Handle TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as added by David Woodhouse's patch entitled: [PATCH] 2/3 Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK support for arch/powerpc [PATCH] 3/3 Generic sys_rt_sigsuspend It does the following: (1) Declares TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for i386. (2) Invokes it over to do_signal() when TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set. (3) Makes do_signal() support TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, using the signal mask saved in current->saved_sigmask. (4) Discards sys_rt_sigsuspend() from the arch, using the generic one instead. (5) Makes sys_sigsuspend() save the signal mask and set TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK rather than attempting to fudge the return registers. (6) Makes sys_sigsuspend() return -ERESTARTNOHAND rather than looping intrinsically. (7) Makes setup_frame(), setup_rt_frame() and handle_signal() return 0 or -EFAULT rather than true/false to be consistent with the rest of the kernel. Due to the fact do_signal() is then only called from one place: (8) Makes do_signal() no longer have a return value is it was just being ignored; force_sig() takes care of this. (9) Discards the old sigmask argument to do_signal() as it's no longer necessary. (10) Makes do_signal() static. (11) Marks the second argument to do_notify_resume() as unused. The unused argument should remain in the middle as the arguments are passed in as registers, and the ordering is specific in entry.S Given the way do_signal() is now no longer called from sys_{,rt_}sigsuspend(), they no longer need access to the exception frame, and so can just take arguments normally. This patch depends on sys_rt_sigsuspend patch. Signed-off-by:David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

The TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag allows us to have a generic implementation of sys_rt_sigsuspend() instead of duplicating it for each architecture. This provides such an implementation and makes arch/powerpc use it. It also tidies up the ppc32 sys_sigsuspend() to use TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK. Signed-off-by:

Here is a series of patches which introduce in total 13 new system calls which take a file descriptor/filename pair instead of a single file name. These functions, openat etc, have been discussed on numerous occasions. They are needed to implement race-free filesystem traversal, they are necessary to implement a virtual per-thread current working directory (think multi-threaded backup software), etc. We have in glibc today implementations of the interfaces which use the /proc/self/fd magic. But this code is rather expensive. Here are some results (similar to what Jim Meyering posted before). The test creates a deep directory hierarchy on a tmpfs filesystem. Then rm -fr is used to remove all directories. Without syscall support I get this: real 0m31.921s user 0m0.688s sys 0m31.234s With syscall support the results are much better: real 0m20.699s user 0m0.536s sys 0m20.149s The interfaces are for obvious reasons currently not much used. But they'll be used. coreutils (and Jeff's posixutils) are already using them. Furthermore, code like ftw/fts in libc (maybe even glob) will also start using them. I expect a patch to make follow soon. Every program which is walking the filesystem tree will benefit. Signed-off-by:

A recent patch which checked the return status of vfs_getattr in nfsd, completely missed the nfsproc.c (NFSv2) part. Here is it. This patch moved the call to vfs_getattr from the xdr encoding (at which point it is too late to return an error) to the call handling. This means several calls to vfs_getattr are needed in nfsproc.c. Many are encapsulated in nfsd_return_attrs and nfsd_return_dirop. Signed-off-by:
