| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The as-documented rcu_nocb_poll will fail to enable this feature for two reasons. (1) there is an extra "s" in the documented name which is not in the code, and (2) since it uses module_param, it really is expecting a prefix, akin to "rcutree.fanout_leaf" and the prefix isn't documented. However, there are several reasons why we might not want to simply fix the typo and add the prefix: 1) we'd end up with rcutree.rcu_nocb_poll, and rather probably make a change to rcutree.nocb_poll 2) if we did #1, then the prefix wouldn't be consistent with the rcu_nocbs=<cpumap> parameter (i.e. one with, one without prefix) 3) the use of module_param in a header file is less than desired, since it isn't immediately obvious that it will get processed via rcutree.c and get the prefix from that (although use of module_param_named() could clarify that.) 4) the implied export of /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_nocb_poll data to userspace via module_param() doesn't really buy us anything, as it is read-only and we can tell if it is enabled already without it, since there is a printk at early boot telling us so. In light of all that, just change it from a module_param() to an early_setup() call, and worry about adding it to /sys later on if we decide to allow a dynamic setting of it. Also change the variable to be tagged as read_mostly, since it will only ever be fiddled with at most, once at boot.

The xloadflags now communicates if this is a 64-bit kernel with the legacy 64-bit entry point and which of the EFI handover entry points are supported. Avoid adding new read flags to loadflags because of claimed bootloaders testing the whole byte for == 1 to determine bzImageness at least until the issue can be researched further.

More importantly, Dan Carpenter found[1] that the driver had a fundamental breakage introduced back in 2008, with commit 7be6065b39c3 ("netdevice wanrouter: Convert directly reference of netdev->priv"). So we know with certainty that the code hasn't been used by anyone willing to at least take the effort to send an e-mail report of breakage for at least 4 years. This commit does a decouple of the wanrouter subsystem, by going after the Makefile/Kconfig and similar files, so that these mainline files that we are keeping do not have the big wanrouter file/driver deletion commit tied into their history. Once this commit is in place, we then can remove the obsolete cyclomx drivers and similar that have a dependency on CONFIG_WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS.

That is, we make sure that there are not too many failed devices - or devices specified for rebuild - to undermine our ability to activate the array. The current code performs this check twice - once to ensure there were not too many devices specified for rebuild by the user ('validate_rebuild_devices') and again after possibly experiencing a failure to read the superblock ('analyse_superblocks'). Neither of these checks are sufficient. The first check is done properly but with insufficient information about the possible failure state of the devices to make a good determination if the array can be activated. The second check is simply done wrong in the case of RAID10 because it doesn't account for the independence of the stripes (i.e. mirror sets). The solution is to use the properly written check ('validate_rebuild_devices'), but perform the check after the superblocks have been read and we know which devices have failed. This gives us one check instead of two and performs it in a location where it can be done right. Only RAID10 was affected and it was affected in the following ways: - the code did not properly catch the condition where a user specified a device for rebuild that already had a failed device in the same mirror set. (This condition would, however, be caught at a deeper level in MD.) - the code triggers a false positive and denies activation when devices in independent mirror sets have failed - counting the failures as though they were all in the same set. The most likely place this error was introduced (or this patch should have been included) is in commit 4ec1e369 - first introduced in v3.7-rc1. Consequently this fix should also go in v3.7.y, however there is a small conflict on the .version in raid_target, so I'll submit a separate patch to -stable.

Fortunately sane hardware probing and auto detection (via PCI and ISA/PnP) largely made the document a relic of the past, hence it being abandoned a decade ago. However, there is one last useful thing that we can extract from the effort made in maintaining that document. We can use it to guide us with respect to what rare, experimental and/or super ancient 10Mbit ISA drivers don't make sense to maintain in-tree anymore. Nobody will argue that ISA is obsolete. Availability went away at about the time Pentium3 motherboards moved from 500MHz Slot1/SECC processors to the green 500MHz Socket 370 Pentium3 chips, at the turn of the century. In theory, it is possible that someone could still be running one of these 12+ year old P3 machines and want 3.9+ bleeding edge kernels (but unlikely). In light of the above (remote) possibility, we can defer the removal of some ISA network drivers that were highly popular and well tested. Typically that means the stuff more from the mid to late '90s, some with ISA PnP support, like the 3c509, the wd/SMC 8390 based stuff, PCnet/lance etc. But a lot of other drivers, typically from the early 1990s were for rare hardware, and experimental (to the point of requiring a cron job that would do a test ping, and then ifconfig down/up and/or a rmmod/insmod!). And some of these drivers (znet, and lp486e to name two) are physically tied to platforms with on motherboard ethernet -- of 486 machines that date from the early 1990s and can only have single digit amounts of memory. What I'd like to achieve here with this series, is to get rid of those old drivers that are no longer being used. In an earlier discussion where I'd proposed deleting a single driver, Alan suggested we instead dump all the historical stuff in one go, to make it "...immediately obvious where the break point is..."[1] and that it was "perfectly reasonable it (and a pile of other ISA cards) ought to be shown the door"[2]. So that is the goal here - make a clear line in the sand where the really ancient stuff finally gets kicked to the curb. Two old parallel port drivers are considered for removal here as well, since in early 386/486 ISA machines, the parallel port was typically found with the UARTS on the multi-I/O ISA controller card. These drivers also date from the early 1990's; parallel ports are no longer found on modern boards, and their performance was not even capable of 10% of 10Mbit bandwidth. Allow me a preemptive justification against the inevitable comments from well meaning bystanders who suggest "why not just leave all this alone?". Dead drivers cost us all if they are left in tree. If you think that is false, then please first consider: -every time you type "git status", you are checking to see if modifications have been made by you to all that dead code. -every time you type "git grep <regex>" you are searching through files which contain that dead code that simply does not interest you. -every time you build a "allyesconfig" and an "allmodconfig" (don't tell me you skip this step before submitting your changes to a maintainer), you waste CPU cycles building this dead code. -every time there is a tree wide API change, or cleanup, or file relocation, we pay the cost of updating dead code, or moving dead code. -daily regression tests (take linux-next as the most transparent example) spend time building (and possibly running) this dead code. -hard working people who regularly run auditing tools looking for lurking bugs (sparse/coverity/smatch/coccinelle) are wasting time checking for, and fixing bugs in this dead code. This last one is key. Please take a look at the git history for the files that are proposed for removal here. Look at the git history for any one of them ("git whatchanged --follow drivers/net/.../driver.c") Mentally sort the changes into two bins -- (1) the robotic tree-wide changes, and (2) the "look I found a real run-time bug while using this" category. You will see that category #2 is essentially empty. Further to that, realize that drivers don't simply disappear. We are not operating in the binary-only distribution space like other OS. All these drivers remain in the git history forever. If a person is an enthusiast for extreme legacy hardware, they are probably already customizing their kernel source and building it themselves to support such systems. Also keep in mind that they could still build the 3.8 kernel exactly as-is, and run it (or a 3.8.x stable variant of it) for several more years if they were really determined to cling to these old experimental ISA drivers for some reason. In summary, I hope that folks can be pragmatic about this, and not get swept up in nostalgia. Ask yourself whether it is realistic to expect a person would have a genuine use case where they would need to build a 3.9+ modern kernel and install it on some legacy hardware that has no option but to absolutely _require_ one of the drivers that are deleted here.

Let us not pretend that anyone cares about these drivers anymore, or worse - pretend that anyone is using them on a modern kernel. As a side bonus, this is the end of legacy parallel port ethernet, so we get to drop the whole chunk relating to that in the legacy Space.c file containing the non-PCI unified probe dispatch.

I was intending to delete some now-gone MCA/token ring entries in this file, but once I opened it, I found it only contained information on the earliest (pre-2000) linux networking drivers. Checking the git history shows that the file hasn't been touched since 2005. Clearly nobody is actively consulting this file as a meaningful reference. Rather than add a "YES YES YES" line for all of the drivers we currently have, lets just take advantage of the fact that nobody is using the file to delete it. This has the side benefit of not having to do a line-by-line deletion of the file content as each older driver is expired.

This commit adds a socket option to lock the filter (SO_LOCK_FILTER) preventing any modification of a socket filter program. This is similar to OpenBSD BIOCLOCK ioctl on bpf sockets, except even root is not allowed change/drop the filter. The state of the lock can be read with getsockopt(). No error is triggered if the state is not changed. -EPERM is returned when a user tries to remove the lock or to change/remove the filter while the lock is active. The check is done directly in sk_attach_filter() and sk_detach_filter() and does not affect only setsockopt() syscall. Signed-off-by: Vincent Bernat <bernat@luffy.cx> Signed-off-by: David S.

This may lead to problems when there are two devices such that the .suspend() callback executed for one of them depends on runtime PM working for the other. In that case, if runtime PM has already been disabled for the second device, the first one's .suspend() won't work correctly (and analogously for resume). To make those issues go away, make the PM core disable runtime PM for devices right before executing subsystem/driver .suspend_late() callbacks for them and enable runtime PM for them right after executing subsystem/driver .resume_early() callbacks for them. This way the potential conflitcs between .suspend_late()/.resume_early() and their runtime PM counterparts are still prevented from happening, but the subtle ordering issues related to disabling/enabling runtime PM for devices during system suspend/resume are much easier to avoid.

This variable can be used to set desired id for next allocated IPC object. By default it's equal to -1 and old behaviour is preserved. If this variable is non-negative, then desired idr will be extracted from it and used as a start value to search for free IDR slot. Notes: 1) this patch doesn't guarantee that the new object will have desired id. So it's up to user space how to handle new object with wrong id. 2) After a sucessful id allocation attempt, "next_id" will be set back to -1 (if it was non-negative).
