Gabriel C <nix.or.die@googlemail.com> pointed out that when the x86 bitops are updated to operate on unsigned long, the code in sdma_abort_task() will produce warnings: drivers/infiniband/hw/ipath/ipath_sdma.c: In function 'sdma_abort_task': drivers/infiniband/hw/ipath/ipath_sdma.c:267: warning: passing argument 2 of 'constant_test_bit' from incompatible pointer type and so on, because it uses test_bit() to operation on a u64 value (returned by ipath_read_kref64() for a hardware register). Fix up these warnings by converting the test_bit() operations to &ing with appropriate symbolic defines of the bits within the hardware register. This has the benign side-effect of making the code more self-documenting as well. Signed-off-by:Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>

Somehow the spidev code forgot to include a critical mechanism: when the underlying device is removed (e.g. spi_master rmmod), open file descriptors must be prevented from issuing new I/O requests to that device. On penalty of the oopsing reported by Sebastian Siewior <bigeasy@tglx.de> ... This is a partial fix, adding handshaking between the lower level (SPI messaging) and the file operations using the spi_dev. (It also fixes an issue where reads and writes didn't return the number of bytes sent or received.) There's still a refcounting issue to be addressed (separately). Signed-off-by:

This is a slight change in the namespace cgroup subsystem api. The change is that previously when cgroup_clone() was called (currently only from the unshare path in ns_proxy cgroup, you'd get a new group named "node_$pid" whereas now you'll get a group named after just your pid.) The only users who would notice it are those who are using the ns_proxy cgroup subsystem to auto-create cgroups when namespaces are unshared - something of an experimental feature, which I think really needs more complete container/namespace support in order to be useful. I suspect the only users are Cedric and Serge, or maybe a few others on containers@lists.linux-foundation.org. And in fact it would only be noticed by the users who make the assumption about how the name is generated, rather than getting it from the /proc/<pid>/cgroups file for the process in question. Whether the change is actually needed or not I'm fairly agnostic on, but I guess it is more elegant to just use the pid as the new group name rather than adding a fairly arbitrary "node_" prefix on the front.

Trying to add memory via add_memory() from within an initcall function results in bootmem alloc of 163840 bytes failed! Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory This is caused by zone_wait_table_init() which uses system_state to decide if it should use the bootmem allocator or not. When initcalls are handled the system_state is still SYSTEM_BOOTING but the bootmem allocator doesn't work anymore. So the allocation will fail. To fix this use slab_is_available() instead as indicator like we do it everywhere else. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fix] Reviewed-by:

It in turn calls first_zones_zonelist() which returns a preferred_zone. Where there are no applicable zones this will be NULL. However we use this unconditionally, leading to this panic. Where there are no applicable zones there is no possibility of a successful allocation, so simply fail the allocation. Signed-off-by:Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Signed-off-by:

In 2.6.25, ramdisk devices show up in /proc/partitions, which is a behaviour change from the old rd.c. Add GENHD_FL_SUPPRESS_PARTITION_INFO, which was present in rd.c. All kernels prior to 2.6.25 weren't displaying ramdisks in /proc/partitions. Since there are many userspace tools using information from /proc/partitions some of them may now behave incorrectly (I didn't tested any though). For example before 2.6.25 /proc/partitions was empty if no block devices like hard disks and such were detected by kernel. Now all 16 ramdisks are always visible there. Some software may rely on such information (I mean, on empty /proc/partitions). There was quite similar situation back in 2004, and ramdisks were excluded back from displaying. Thats why I called this a regression (maybe a bit unfortunate). See this patch for info: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.3-rc2/2.6.3-rc2-mm1/broken-out/nbd-proc-partitions-fix.patch I also think that someone somewhere (long time ago) excluded ramdisks from /proc/partitions for good reasons. It is possible that now such new "feature" is harmless, but I think there are more chances that someone will say "hey, /proc/partitions has changed, now my software doesn't work" then "hey where did my new 2.6.25 feature go". nbd devices are also excluded, maybe for very same (unknown to me) reasons.

__exit_signal() does flush_sigqueue(tsk->pending) outside of ->siglock. This can race with another thread doing sigqueue_free(), we can free the same SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC sigqueue twice or corrupt the pending->list. Note that even sys_exit_group() can trigger this race, not only sys_timer_delete(). Move the callsite of flush_sigqueue(tsk->pending) under ->siglock. This patch doesn't touch flush_sigqueue(->shared_pending) below, it is called when there are no other threads which can play with signals, and sigqueue_free() can't be used outside of our thread group.

When we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort the recovery and restart it. For RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the beginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be able to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn't make sense. We already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to and restart from there, but it is not being used properly. This is because: - We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR, which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed. - We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state information. The distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn't needed. If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as Faulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error. So we first remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to MD_RECOVERY_INTR. Then we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to fail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded). Then when remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which recovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and recovery will continue on them as desired. Issue: If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive fails, and a new spare is immediately available, do we want to: 1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or 2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in parallel. Both options can be argued for. The code currently takes option 2 as a/ this requires least code change b/ this results in a minimally-degraded array in minimal time.

In some configurations, a raid6 resync can be limited by CPU speed (Calculating P and Q and moving data) rather than by device speed. In these cases there is nothing to be gained byt serialising resync of arrays that share a device, and doing the resync in parallel can provide benefit. So add a sysfs tunable to flag an array as being allowed to resync in parallel with other arrays that use (a different part of) the same device. Signed-off-by:

This additional notification to 'array_state' is needed to allow the monitor application to learn about stop events via sysfs. The sysfs_notify("sync_action") call that comes at the end of do_md_stop() (via md_new_event) is insufficient since the 'sync_action' attribute has been removed by this point. (Seems like a sysfs-notify-on-removal patch is a better fix. Currently removal updates the event count but does not wake up waiters) Signed-off-by:Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by:

When an array enters write pending, 'array_state' changes, so we must be sure to sysfs_notify. Also, when waiting for user-space to acknowledge 'write-pending' by marking the metadata as dirty, we don't want to wait for MD_CHANGE_DEVS to be cleared as that might not happen. So explicity test for the bits that we are really interested in. Signed-off-by:

When performing a "recovery" or "check" pass on a RAID1 array, we read from each device and possible, if there is a difference or a read error, write back to some devices. We use the same 'bio' for both read and write, resetting various fields between the two operations. We forgot to reset bv_offset and bv_len however. These are often left unchanged, but in the case where there is an IO error one or two sectors into a page, they are changed. This results in correctable errors not being corrected properly. It does not result in any data corruption. Cc: "Fairbanks, David" <David.Fairbanks@stratus.com> Signed-off-by:

Last night we had scsi problems and a hardware raid unit was offlined during heavy i/o. While this happened we got for about 3 minutes a huge number messages like these Apr 12 03:36:07 pfs1n14 kernel: [197510.696595] raid5:md7: read error not correctable (sector 2993096568 on sdj2). I guess the high error rate is responsible for not scheduling other events - during this time the system was not pingable and in the end also other devices run into scsi command timeouts causing problems on these unrelated devices as well.
