27af4245b6 posix-timers: use "struct pid*" instead of "struct task_struct*"
Impact: restructure, clean up code

k_itimer holds the ref to the ->it_process until sys_timer_delete(). This
allows to pin up to RLIMIT_SIGPENDING dead task_struct's. Change the code
to use "struct pid *" instead.

The patch doesn't kill ->it_process, it places ->it_pid into the union.
->it_process is still used by do_cpu_nanosleep() as before. It would be
trivial to change the nanosleep code as well, but since it uses it_process
in a special way I think it is better to keep this field for grep.

The patch bloats the kernel by 104 bytes and it also adds the new pointer,
->it_signal, to k_itimer. It is used by lock_timer() to verify that the
found timer was not created by another process. It is not clear why do we
use the global database (and thus the global idr_lock) for posix timers.
We still need the signal_struct->posix_timers which contains all useable
timers, perhaps it is better to use some form of per-process array
instead.

Instead of doing directly assignment of file operations that set an

8229efdaef netns: ip6mr: enable namespace support in ipv6 multicast forwarding code
This last patch makes the appropriate changes to use and propagate the
network namespace where needed in IPv6 multicast forwarding code.

This consists mainly in replacing all the remaining init_net occurences
with current netns pointer retrieved from sockets, net devices or 
mfc6_caches depending on the routines' contexts.

Some routines receive a new 'struct net' parameter to propagate the current
netns:
* ip6mr_get_route
* ip6mr_cache_report
* ip6mr_cache_find
* ip6mr_cache_unresolved
* mif6_add/mif6_delete
* ip6mr_mfc_add/ip6mr_mfc_delete
* ip6mr_reg_vif

All the IPv6 multicast forwarding variables moved to struct netns_ipv6 by
the previous patches are now referenced in the correct namespace.

Changelog:
==========
* Take into account the net associated to mfc6_cache when matching entries in
  mfc_unres_queue list.
* Call mroute_clean_tables() in ip6mr_net_exit() to free memory allocated
  per-namespace.
* Call dev_net_set() in ip6mr_reg_vif() to initialize dev->nd_net 
  correctly.

58701ad411 netns: ip6mr: store netns in struct mfc6_cache
This patch stores into struct mfc6_cache the network namespace each
mfc6_cache belongs to. The new member is mfc6_net.

mfc6_net is assigned at cache allocation and doesn't change during
the rest of the cache entry life.

This will help to retrieve the current netns around the IPv6 multicast
forwarding code.

At the moment, all mfc6_cache are allocated in init_net.

Changelog:
==========
* Use write_pnet()/read_pnet() to set and get mfc6_net.

9c24624727 KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN fixes
Miles Lane tailing /sys files hit a BUG which Pekka Enberg has tracked
to my 966c8c12dc sprint_symbol(): use
less stack exposing a bug in slub's list_locations() -
kallsyms_lookup() writes a 0 to namebuf[KSYM_NAME_LEN-1], but that was
beyond the end of page provided.

The 100 slop which list_locations() allows at end of page looks roughly
enough for all the other stuff it might print after the symbol before
it checks again: break out KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN earlier than before.

Latencytop and ftrace and are using KSYM_NAME_LEN buffers where they
need KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffers, and vmallocinfo a 2*KSYM_NAME_LEN buffer
where it wants a KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffer: fix those before anyone copies
them.

the new percpu_counter_sum_and_set() is racy against updates to the
cpu-local accumulators on other CPUs.  Revert that change.

This means that ext4 will be slow again.  But correct.

    commit 1f7c14c62c

    Date:   Thu Oct 9 12:50:59 2008 -0400

        percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set()

Before this patch we had the following:

percpu_counter_sum(): return the percpu_counter's value

percpu_counter_sum_and_set(): return the percpu_counter's value, copying
that value into the central value and zeroing the per-cpu counters before
returning.

After this patch, percpu_counter_sum_and_set() has gone, and
percpu_counter_sum() gets the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
functionality.

Problem is, as Eric points out, the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
functionality was racy and wrong.  It zeroes out counters on "other" cpus,
without holding any locks which will prevent races agaist updates from
those other CPUS.

This patch reverts 1f7c14c62c.  This means
that percpu_counter_sum_and_set() still has the race, but
percpu_counter_sum() does not.

Note that this is not a simple revert - ext4 has since started using
percpu_counter_sum() for its dirty_blocks counter as well.

Note that this revert patch changes percpu_counter_sum() semantics.

Before the patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will bring the counter's
central counter mostly up-to-date, so a following percpu_counter_read()
will return a close value.

After this patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will leave the counter's
central accumulator unaltered, so a subsequent call to
percpu_counter_read() can now return a significantly inaccurate result.

If there is any code in the tree which was introduced after
e8ced39d5e was merged, and which depends
upon the new percpu_counter_sum() semantics, that code will break.

7b363e4400 netpoll: fix race on poll_list resulting in garbage entry
A few months back a race was discused between the netpoll napi service
path, and the fast path through net_rx_action:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2007/10/16/345470

A patch was submitted for that bug, but I think we missed a case.

Consider the following scenario:

INITIAL STATE
CPU0 has one napi_struct A on its poll_list
CPU1 is calling netpoll_send_skb and needs to call poll_napi on the same
napi_struct A that CPU0 has on its list



CPU0						CPU1
net_rx_action					poll_napi
!list_empty (returns true)			locks poll_lock for A
						 poll_one_napi
						  napi->poll
						   netif_rx_complete
						    __napi_complete
						    (removes A from poll_list)
list_entry(list->next)


In the above scenario, net_rx_action assumes that the per-cpu poll_list is
exclusive to that cpu.  netpoll of course violates that, and because the netpoll
path can dequeue from the poll list, its possible for CPU0 to detect a non-empty
list at the top of the while loop in net_rx_action, but have it become empty by
the time it calls list_entry.  Since the poll_list isn't surrounded by any other
structure, the returned data from that list_entry call in this situation is
garbage, and any number of crashes can result based on what exactly that garbage
is.

Given that its not fasible for performance reasons to place exclusive locks
arround each cpus poll list to provide that mutal exclusion, I think the best
solution is modify the netpoll path in such a way that we continue to guarantee
that the poll_list for a cpu is in fact exclusive to that cpu.  To do this I've
implemented the patch below.  It adds an additional bit to the state field in
the napi_struct.  When executing napi->poll from the netpoll_path, this bit will
be set. When a driver calls netif_rx_complete, if that bit is set, it will not
remove the napi_struct from the poll_list.  That work will be saved for the next
iteration of net_rx_action.

I've tested this and it seems to work well.  About the biggest drawback I can
see to it is the fact that it might result in an extra loop through
net_rx_action in the event that the device is actually contended for (i.e. the
netpoll path actually preforms all the needed work no the device, and the call
to net_rx_action winds up doing nothing, except removing the napi_struct from
the poll_list.  However I think this is probably a small price to pay, given
that the alternative is a crash.

This patch records all TIOCSTI calls to disambiguate the input.  It
generates one audit message per character pushed back; considering
TIOCSTI is used very rarely, this simple solution is probably good
enough.  (The only program I could find that uses TIOCSTI is mailx/nail
in "header editing" mode, e.g. using the ~h escape.  mailx is used very
rarely, and the escapes are used even rarer.)

It's much better to follow lockdep with normal spinlock, so this patch

to be paused. We also can send an ftrace_printk whithout worrying of

8b96f01198 tracing/function-graph-tracer: introduce __notrace_funcgraph to filter special functions
Impact: trace more functions

When the function graph tracer is configured, three more files are not
traced to prevent only four functions to be traced. And this impacts the
normal function tracer too.

arch/x86/kernel/process_64/32.c:

I had crashes when I let this file traced. After some debugging, I saw
that the "current" task point was changed inside__swtich_to(), ie:
"write_pda(pcurrent, next_p);" inside process_64.c Since the tracer store
the original return address of the function inside current, we had
crashes. Only __switch_to() has to be excluded from tracing.

kernel/module.c and kernel/extable.c:

Because of a function used internally by the function graph tracer:
__kernel_text_address()

To let the other functions inside these files to be traced, this patch
introduces the __notrace_funcgraph function prefix which is __notrace if
function graph tracer is configured and nothing if not.

0b8f1efad3 sparse irq_desc[] array: core kernel and x86 changes
Impact: new feature

Problem on distro kernels: irq_desc[NR_IRQS] takes megabytes of RAM with
NR_CPUS set to large values. The goal is to be able to scale up to much
larger NR_IRQS value without impacting the (important) common case.

To solve this, we generalize irq_desc[NR_IRQS] to an (optional) array of
irq_desc pointers.

When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y is used, we use kzalloc_node to get irq_desc,
this also makes the IRQ descriptors NUMA-local (to the site that calls
request_irq()).

This gets rid of the irq_cfg[] static array on x86 as well: irq_cfg now
uses desc->chip_data for x86 to store irq_cfg.

6fdd34d43b dccp ccid-2: Phase out the use of boolean Ack Vector sysctl
This removes the use of the sysctl and the minisock variable for the Send Ack
Vector feature, as it now is handled fully dynamically via feature negotiation
(i.e. when CCID-2 is enabled, Ack Vectors are automatically enabled as per
 RFC 4341, 4.).

Using a sysctl in parallel to this implementation would open the door to
crashes, since much of the code relies on tests of the boolean minisock /
sysctl variable. Thus, this patch replaces all tests of type

	if (dccp_msk(sk)->dccpms_send_ack_vector)
		/* ... */
with
	if (dp->dccps_hc_rx_ackvec != NULL)
		/* ... */

The dccps_hc_rx_ackvec is allocated by the dccp_hdlr_ackvec() when feature
negotiation concluded that Ack Vectors are to be used on the half-connection.
Otherwise, it is NULL (due to dccp_init_sock/dccp_create_openreq_child),
so that the test is a valid one.

The activation handler for Ack Vectors is called as soon as the feature
negotiation has concluded at the
 * server when the Ack marking the transition RESPOND => OPEN arrives;
 * client after it has sent its ACK, marking the transition REQUEST => PARTOPEN.

Adding the sequence number of the Response packet to the Ack Vector has been
removed, since
 (a) connection establishment implies that the Response has been received;
 (b) the CCIDs only look at packets received in the (PART)OPEN state, i.e.
     this entry will always be ignored;
 (c) it can not be used for anything useful - to detect loss for instance, only
     packets received after the loss can serve as pseudo-dupacks.

There was a FIXME to change the error code when dccp_ackvec_add() fails.
I removed this after finding out that:
 * the check whether ackno < ISN is already made earlier,
 * this Response is likely the 1st packet with an Ackno that the client gets,
 * so when dccp_ackvec_add() fails, the reason is likely not a packet error.

4098dce5be dccp: Remove manual influence on NDP Count feature
Updating the NDP count feature is handled automatically now:
 * for CCID-2 it is disabled, since the code does not use NDP counts;
 * for CCID-3 it is enabled, as NDP counts are used to determine loss lengths.

Allowing the user to change NDP values leads to unpredictable and failing
behaviour, since it is then possible to disable NDP counts even when they
are needed (e.g. in CCID-3).

This means that only those user settings are sensible that agree with the
values for Send NDP Count implied by the choice of CCID. But those settings
are already activated by the feature negotiation (CCID dependency tracking),
hence this form of support is redundant.

At startup the initialisation of the NDP count feature uses the default
value of 0, which is done implicitly by the zeroing-out of the socket when
it is allocated. If the choice of CCID or feature negotiation enables NDP
count, this will then be updated via the NDP activation handler.

0049bab5e7 dccp: Remove obsolete parts of the old CCID interface
The TX/RX CCIDs of the minisock are now redundant: similar to the Ack Vector
case, their value equals initially that of the sysctl, but at the end of
feature negotiation may be something different.

The old interface removed by this patch thus has been replaced by the newer
interface to dynamically query the currently loaded CCIDs.

Also removed are the constructors for the TX CCID and the RX CCID, since the
switch "rx <-> non-rx" is done by the handler in minisocks.c (and the handler
is the only place in the code where CCIDs are loaded).

b74ca3a896 netdevice: Kill netdev->priv
This is the last shoot of this series.
After I removing all directly reference of netdev->priv, I am killing
"priv" of "struct net_device" and fixing relative comments/docs.

Anyone will not be allowed to reference netdev->priv directly.
If you want to reference the memory of private data, use netdev_priv()
instead.
If the private data is not allocted when alloc_netdev(), use
netdev->ml_priv to point that memory after you creating that private
data.

f2f1fa78a1 Enforce a minimum SG_IO timeout
There's no point in having too short SG_IO timeouts, since if the
command does end up timing out, we'll end up through the reset sequence
that is several seconds long in order to abort the command that timed
out.

As a result, shorter timeouts than a few seconds simply do not make
sense, as the recovery would be longer than the timeout itself.

Add a BLK_MIN_SG_TIMEOUT to match the existign BLK_DEFAULT_SG_TIMEOUT.
