* docs/core-api: memory-hotplug: add some details about locking internalsDavid Hildenbrand2018-10-121-0/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Let's document the magic a bit, especially why device_hotplug_lock is required when adding/removing memory and how it all play together with requests to online/offline memory from user space.

* docs: improve readability for people with poorer eyesightDarrick J. Wong2018-10-072-3/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My eyesight is not in good shape, which means that I have difficulty reading the online Linux documentation. Specifically, body text is oddly small compared to list items and the contrast of various text elements is too low for me to be able to see easily. Therefore, alter the HTML theme overrides to make the text larger and increase the contrast for better visibility, and trust the typeface choices of the reader's browser. For the PDF output, increase the text size, use a sans-serif typeface for sans-serif text, and use a serif typeface for "roman" serif text. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

* Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/Henrik Austad2018-09-0950-1896/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned) and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox. The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers) A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps it is time to just throw them out. A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX. List of outdated 00-INDEX: Documentation: (4/10) Documentation/sysctl: (0/1) Documentation/timers: (1/0) Documentation/blockdev: (3/1) Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1) Documentation/locking: (0/1) Documentation/devicetree: (0/5) Documentation/power: (1/1) Documentation/powerpc: (0/5) Documentation/arm: (1/0) Documentation/x86: (0/9) Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1) Documentation/scsi: (4/4) Documentation/filesystems: (2/9) Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2) Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2) Documentation/kbuild: (0/4) Documentation/spi: (1/0) Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0) Documentation/scheduler: (0/2) Documentation/fb: (0/1) Documentation/block: (0/1) Documentation/networking: (6/37) Documentation/vm: (1/3) Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no 00-INDEX). I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX, but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not if we just want to delete them anyway. As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and see where the discussion is going. Signed-off-by: Henrik Austad <henrik@austad.us> Acked-by: "Paul E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move as much as possible to kernel space; leave the parts in user space that rely on checking memory allocation failures to detect the transition between an exceptional entry and a bitmap. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert to new API and move to kernel space. Take the opportunity to test the situation a little more thoroughly (ie at different offsets). Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
| * | idr-test: Convert ida_check_nomem to new APIMatthew Wilcox2018-08-221-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can't move this test to kernel space because there's no way to force kmalloc to fail. But we can use the new API and check this works when the test is in userspace. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
| * | ida: Start new test_ida moduleMatthew Wilcox2018-08-227-7/+71
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Start transitioning the IDA tests into kernel space. Framework heavily cribbed from test_xarray.c. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
| * | target/iscsi: Allocate session IDs from an IDAMatthew Wilcox2018-08-223-30/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the session is never looked up by ID, we can use the more space-efficient IDA instead of the IDR. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
| * | iscsi target: fix session creation failure handlingMike Christie2018-08-221-14/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem is that iscsi_login_zero_tsih_s1 sets conn->sess early in iscsi_login_set_conn_values. If the function fails later like when we alloc the idr it does kfree(sess) and leaves the conn->sess pointer set. iscsi_login_zero_tsih_s1 then returns -Exyz and we then call iscsi_target_login_sess_out and access the freed memory. This patch has iscsi_login_zero_tsih_s1 either completely setup the session or completely tear it down, so later in iscsi_target_login_sess_out we can just check for it being set to the connection.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reorder allocation to avoid an awkward lock/unlock/lock sequence. Simpler code due to being able to use ida_alloc_max(), even if we can't eliminate the driver's spinlock.
