* Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entriesAlexey Dobriyan2007-07-163-3/+296
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix following races: =========================================== 1. Write via ->write_proc sleeps in copy_from_user(). Module disappears meanwhile. Or, more generically, system call done on /proc file, method supplied by module is called, module dissapeares meanwhile. pde = create_proc_entry() if (!pde) return -ENOMEM; pde->write_proc = ... open write copy_from_user pde = create_proc_entry(); if (!pde) { remove_proc_entry(); return -ENOMEM; /* module unloaded */ } *boom* ========================================== 2. bogo-revoke aka proc_kill_inodes() remove_proc_entry vfs_read proc_kill_inodes [check ->f_op validness] [check ->f_op->read validness] [verify_area, security permissions checks] ->f_op = NULL; if (file->f_op->read) /* ->f_op dereference, boom */ NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: file_operations are proxied for regular files only. Let's see how this scheme behaves, then extend if needed for directories. Directories creators in /proc only set ->owner for them, so proxying for directories may be unneeded. NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: methods being proxied are ->llseek, ->read, ->write, ->poll, ->unlocked_ioctl, ->ioctl, ->compat_ioctl, ->open, ->release. If your in-tree module uses something else, yell on me.

* uml: Eliminate kernel allocator wrappersJeff Dike2007-07-1617-38/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UML had two wrapper procedures for kmalloc, um_kmalloc and um_kmalloc_atomic because the flag constants weren't available in userspace code. kern_constants.h had made kernel constants available for a long time, so there is no need for these wrappers any more. Rather, userspace code calls kmalloc directly with the userspace versions of the gfp flags. kmalloc isn't a real procedure, so I had to essentially copy the inline wrapper around __kmalloc. vmalloc also had its own wrapper for no good reason. This is now gone.

* uml: SIGIO support cleanupJeff Dike2007-07-164-55/+80
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cleanup of the SIGWINCH support. Some code and comment reformatting. The stack used for SIGWINCH threads was leaked. This is now fixed by storing it with the pid and other information, and freeing it when the thread is killed. If something goes wrong with a WIGWINCH thread, and this is discovered in the interrupt handler, the winch record would leak. It is now freed, except that the IRQ isn't freed. This is hard to do from interrupt context. This has the side-effect that the IRQ system maintains a reference to the freed structure, but that shouldn't cause a problem since the descriptor is disabled. register_winch_irq is now much better about cleaning up after an initialization failure.

They expect data to be available to be read from their sockets/pipes, but in the case of spurious interrupts, the host didn't actually send anything, so UML hangs in read() and friends.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | isa_bus_to_virt() is still needed in a few places (lance.c, at least). When we switch the kernel to using -Werror-implicit-function-declaration, the lack of isa_bus_to_virt() breaks alpha allmodconfig builds. Add isa_bus_to_virt() and deprecate the ezisting ISA APIs, though it might be better to define these functions as BUG(), since virt_to_bus/bus_to_virt just do wrong things on a number of machines.

* slob: initial NUMA supportPaul Mundt2007-07-165-82/+172
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds preliminary NUMA support to SLOB, primarily aimed at systems with small nodes (tested all the way down to a 128kB SRAM block), whether asymmetric or otherwise. We follow the same conventions as SLAB/SLUB, preferring current node placement for new pages, or with explicit placement, if a node has been specified. Presently on UP NUMA this has the side-effect of preferring node#0 allocations (since numa_node_id() == 0, though this could be reworked if we could hand off a pfn to determine node placement), so single-CPU NUMA systems will want to place smaller nodes further out in terms of node id. Once a page has been bound to a node (via explicit node id typing), we only do block allocations from partial free pages that have a matching node id in the page flags. The current implementation does have some scalability problems, in that all partial free pages are tracked in the global freelist (with contention due to the single spinlock). However, these are things that are being reworked for SMP scalability first, while things like per-node freelists can easily be built on top of this sort of functionality once it's been added.

* mm/slab.c: start_cpu_timer() should be __cpuinitAdrian Bunk2007-07-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | start_cpu_timer() should be __cpuinit (which also matches what it's callers are). __devinit didn't cause problems, it simply wasted a few bytes of memory for the common CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n case.

* mm: more __meminit annotationsPaul Mundt2007-07-161-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently zone_spanned_pages_in_node() and zone_absent_pages_in_node() are non-static for ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP and static otherwise. However, only the non-static versions are __meminit annotated, despite only being called from __meminit functions in either case. zone_init_free_lists() is currently non-static and not __meminit annotated either, despite only being called once in the entire tree by init_currently_empty_zone(), which too is __meminit. So make it static and properly annotated.

* numa: mempolicy: trivial debug fixes.Paul Mundt2007-07-161-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enabling debugging fails to build due to the nodemask variable in do_mbind() having changed names, and then oopses on boot due to the assumption that the nodemask can be dereferenced -- which doesn't work out so well when the policy is changed to MPOL_DEFAULT with a NULL nodemask by numa_default_policy(). This fixes it up, and switches from PDprintk() to pr_debug() while we're at it.

* oom: stop allocating user memory if TIF_MEMDIE is setEthan Solomita2007-07-161-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | get_user_pages() can try to allocate a nearly unlimited amount of memory on behalf of a user process, even if that process has been OOM killed. The OOM kill occurs upon return to user space via a SIGKILL, but get_user_pages() will try allocate all its memory before returning. Change get_user_pages() to check for TIF_MEMDIE, and if set then return immediately.
