* md: Make mddev->array_size sector-based.Andre Noll2008-07-219-28/+33
| | | | | | | | | This patch renames the array_size field of struct mddev_s to array_sectors and converts all instances to use units of 512 byte sectors instead of 1k blocks. Signed-off-by: Andre Noll <maan@systemlinux.org> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md: Make super_type->rdev_size_change() take sector-based sizes.Andre Noll2008-07-211-21/+19
| | | | | | | | Also, change the type of the size parameter from unsigned long long to sector_t and rename it to num_sectors. Signed-off-by: Andre Noll <maan@systemlinux.org> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md: Fix check for overlapping devices.Andre Noll2008-07-211-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The checks in overlaps() expect all parameters either in block-based or sector-based quantities. However, its single caller passes two rdev->data_offset arguments as well as two rdev->size arguments, the former being sector counts while the latter are measured in 1K blocks. This could cause rdev_size_store() to accept an invalid size from user space. Fix it by passing only sector-based quantities to overlaps().

* md: Tidy up rdev_size_store a bit:Neil Brown2008-07-212-10/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - used strict_strtoull in place of simple_strtoull - use my_mddev in place of rdev->mddev (they have the same value) and more significantly, - don't adjust mddev->size to fit, rather reject changes which make rdev->size smaller than mddev->size Adjusting mddev->size is a hangover from bind_rdev_to_array which does a similar thing. But it really is a better design to insist that mddev->size is set as required, then the rdev->sizes are set to allow for that. The previous way invites confusion.

* md: Make calc_dev_sboffset() return a sector count.Andre Noll2008-07-111-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | As BLOCK_SIZE_BITS is 10 and MD_NEW_SIZE_SECTORS(2 * x) = 2 * NEW_SIZE_BLOCKS(x), the return value of calc_dev_sboffset() doubles. Fix up all three callers accordingly. Signed-off-by: Andre Noll <maan@systemlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
* md: Replace calc_dev_size() by calc_num_sectors().Andre Noll2008-07-111-11/+7
| | | | | | | | | Number of sectors is the preferred unit for sizes of raid devices, so change calc_dev_size() so that it returns this unit instead of the number of 1K blocks. Signed-off-by: Andre Noll <maan@systemlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
* md: Make update_size() take the number of sectors.Andre Noll2008-07-111-18/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changing the internal representations of sizes of raid devices from 1K blocks to sector counts (512B units) is desirable because it allows to get rid of many divisions/multiplications and unnecessary casts that are present in the current code. This patch is a first step in this direction. It replaces the old 1K-based "size" argument of update_size() by "num_sectors" and fixes up its two callers.

* md: Better control of when do_md_stop is allowed to stop the array.Neil Brown2008-07-111-14/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | do_md_stop check the number of active users before allowing the array to be stopped. Two problems: 1/ it assumes the request is coming through an open file descriptor (via ioctl) so it allows for that. This is not always the case. 2/ it doesn't do the check it the array hasn't been activated. This is not good for cases when we use an inactive array to hold some devices in a container.

| | * tun: Persistent devices can get stuck in xoff stateMax Krasnyansky2008-07-111-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The scenario goes like this. App stops reading from tun/tap. TX queue gets full and driver does netif_stop_queue(). App closes fd and TX queue gets flushed as part of the cleanup. Next time the app opens tun/tap and starts reading from it but the xoff state is not cleared. We're stuck. Normally xoff state is cleared when netdev is brought up. But in the case of persistent devices this happens only during initial setup. The fix is trivial. If device is already up when an app opens it we clear xoff state and that gets things moving again.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As soon as init_registers() was called, the rt2400/rt2500 would start raising beacondone interrupts. Since this is highly premature since no beacons were provided yet, we should initialize the synchronization register to 0. This will make all drivers initialize it to 0 regardless if they are raising beacondone interrupts or not, since it only makes sense to have it completely disabled.

| | |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a conntrack entry is destroyed in process context and destruction is interrupted by packet processing and the packet is an attempt to reopen a closed connection, TCP conntrack tries to kill the old entry itself and returns NF_REPEAT to pass the packet through the hook again. This may lead to an endless loop: TCP conntrack repeatedly finds the old entry, but can not kill it itself since destruction is already in progress, but destruction in process context can not complete since TCP conntrack is keeping the CPU busy. Drop the packet in TCP conntrack if we can't kill the connection ourselves to avoid this.

Maybe some other nasty things, but we caught only the oops in gc so far. The solution is to disarm the ifp->timer before flushing the rt from it.

Where did "c" come from? Uh-oh... c = get_cpu_slab(s, smp_processor_id()); This looks like it has very much to do with CPU hotplug/unplug. Is there a race between SLUB/hotplug since the CPU slab is used after it has been freed?" Good analysis. Yeah, it's possible that a caller of kmem_cache_alloc() -> slab_alloc() can be migrated on another CPU right after local_irq_restore() and before memset(). The inital cpu can become offline in the mean time (or a migration is a consequence of the CPU going offline) so its 'kmem_cache_cpu' structure gets freed ( slab_cpuup_callback). At some point of time the caller continues on another CPU having an obsolete pointer...

| * | exec: fix stack excutability without PT_GNU_STACKHugh Dickins2008-07-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kernel Bugzilla #11063 points out that on some architectures (e.g. x86_32) exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program header should default to an executable stack; but this got broken by the unlimited argv feature because stack vma is now created before the right personality has been established: so breaking old binaries using nested function trampolines. Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack vm_flags used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup. Checking through our existing VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct: so this seems safer than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The stack-glue merge changed the way we use flags in dlmglue in that we now use the fs/dlm equivalents. Unfortunately, a merge error left the new flock code only partially updated. This took a while to show up though, because the lock level constants are actually identical between o2dlm and fs/dlm. The *_CONVERT and *_NOQUEUE flags have different values though, which is eventually causing a crash in flags_to_o2dlm(). Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
