The Win 8 protocol specify the fact that each valid touch must be reported within a frame until it is released. We can therefore use the always_valid quirk and dismiss reports when we see duplicate contacts ID. We recognize Win8 certified devices from their vendor feature 0xff0000c5 where Microsoft put a signed blob in the report to check if the device passed the certification.

Win 8 device specification changed the requirements for the hid usages of the multitouch devices. Now InRange is optional and must be only used when the device supports hovering. This ensures that the quirk ALWAYS_VALID is taken into account and also ensures its precedence over the other VALID* quirks.

Win8 devices are required to present the feature "Maximum Contact Number". Fortunately all win7 devices I've seen presents this feature. If the current value is 0, then, the driver can get the actual supported contact count by refering to the logical_max. This win8 specification ensures that logical_max may not be above 250. This also allows us to detect when devices like irtouch or stantum reports an obviously wrong value of 255.

hidinput_calc_abs_res should return the closest int in the division instead of the floor. On a device with a logical_max of 3008 and a physical_max of 255mm, previous implementation gave a resolution of 11 instead of 12. With 11, user-space computes a physical size of 273.5mm and the round_closest results gives 250.6mm. The old implementation introduced an error of 2cm in this example.

Revert commit 03a7beb5 ("epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app") pending resolution of the issues identified by Michael Kerrisk, copied below. We'll revisit this for 3.8. : I've taken a look at this patch as it currently stands in 3.7-rc1, and : done a bit of testing. (By the way, the test program : tools/testing/selftests/epoll/test_epoll.c does not compile...) : : There are one or two places where the behavior seems a little strange, : so I have a question or two at the end of this mail. But other than : that, I want to check my understanding so that the interface can be : correctly documented. : : Just to go though my understanding, the problem is the following : scenario in a multithreaded application: : : 1. Multiple threads are performing epoll_wait() operations, : and maintaining a user-space cache that contains information : corresponding to each file descriptor being monitored by : epoll_wait(). : : 2. At some point, a thread wants to delete (EPOLL_CTL_DEL) : a file descriptor from the epoll interest list, and : delete the corresponding record from the user-space cache. : : 3. The problem with (2) is that some other thread may have : previously done an epoll_wait() that retrieved information : about the fd in question, and may be in the middle of using : information in the cache that relates to that fd. Thus, : there is a potential race. : : 4. The race can't solved purely in user space, because doing : so would require applying a mutex across the epoll_wait() : call, which would of course blow thread concurrency. : : Right? : : Your solution is the EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE operation. I want to : confirm my understanding about how to use this flag, since : the description that has accompanied the patches so far : has been a bit sparse : : 0. In the scenario you're concerned about, deleting a file : descriptor means (safely) doing the following: : (a) Deleting the file descriptor from the epoll interest list : using EPOLL_CTL_DEL : (b) Deleting the corresponding record in the user-space cache : : 1. It's only meaningful to use this EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE in : conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. : : 2. Using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE without using EPOLLONESHOT in : conjunction is a logical error. : : 3. The correct way to code multithreaded applications using : EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE and EPOLLONESHOT is as follows: : : a. All EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD operations should : should EPOLLONESHOT. : : b. When a thread wants to delete a file descriptor, it : should do the following: : : [1] Call epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) : [2] If the return status from epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) : was zero, then the file descriptor can be safely : deleted by the thread that made this call. : [3] If the epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY, : then the descriptor is in use. In this case, the calling : thread should set a flag in the user-space cache to : indicate that the thread that is using the descriptor : should perform the deletion operation. : : Is all of the above correct? : : The implementation depends on checking on whether : (events & ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) == 0 : This replies on the fact that EPOLL_CTL_AD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD always : set EPOLLHUP and EPOLLERR in the 'events' mask, and EPOLLONESHOT : causes those flags (as well as all others in ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) to be : cleared. : : A corollary to the previous paragraph is that using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE : is only useful in conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. However, as things : stand, one can use EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on a file descriptor that does : not have EPOLLONESHOT set in 'events' This results in the following : (slightly surprising) behavior: : : (a) The first call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) returns 0 : (the indicator that the file descriptor can be safely deleted). : (b) The next call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY. : : This doesn't seem particularly useful, and in fact is probably an : indication that the user made a logic error: they should only be using : epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) on a file descriptor for which : EPOLLONESHOT was set in 'events'. If that is correct, then would it : not make sense to return an error to user space for this case? Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: "Paton J.

Virtio wants to release used indices after the corresponding virtio device has been unregistered. However, virtio does not hold an extra reference, giving up its last reference with device_unregister(), making accessing dev->index afterwards invalid. I actually saw problems when testing my (not-yet-merged) virtio-ccw code: - device_add virtio-net,id=xxx -> creates device virtio<n> with n>0 - device_del xxx -> deletes virtio<n>, but calls ida_simple_remove with an index of 0 - device_add virtio-net,id=xxx -> tries to add virtio0, which is still in use... So let's save the index we want to release before calling device_unregister().

Commit 44396476 ("xfs: reset buffer pointers before freeing them") in 3.0-rc1 introduced a regression when recovering log buffers that wrapped around the end of log. The second part of the log buffer at the start of the physical log was being read into the header buffer rather than the data buffer, and hence recovery was seeing garbage in the data buffer when it got to the region of the log buffer that was incorrectly read.

When we shut down the filesystem, we have to unpin and free all the buffers currently active in the CIL. To do this we unpin and remove them in one operation as a result of a failed iclogbuf write. For buffers, we do this removal via a simultated IO completion of after marking the buffer stale. At the time we do this, we have two references to the buffer - the active LRU reference and the buf log item. The LRU reference is removed by marking the buffer stale, and the active CIL reference is by the xfs_buf_iodone() callback that is run by xfs_buf_do_callbacks() during ioend processing (via the bp->b_iodone callback). However, ioend processing requires one more reference - that of the IO that it is completing. We don't have this reference, so we free the buffer prematurely and use it after it is freed. For buffers marked with XBF_ASYNC, this leads to assert failures in xfs_buf_rele() on debug kernels because the b_hold count is zero. Fix this by making sure we take the necessary IO reference before starting IO completion processing on the stale buffer, and set the XBF_ASYNC flag to ensure that IO completion processing removes all the active references from the buffer to ensure it is fully torn down.

When we free a block from the alloc btree tree, we move it to the freelist held in the AGFL and mark it busy in the busy extent tree. This typically happens when we merge btree blocks. Once the transaction is committed and checkpointed, the block can remain on the free list for an indefinite amount of time. Now, this isn't the end of the world at this point - if the free list is shortened, the buffer is invalidated in the transaction that moves it back to free space. If the buffer is allocated as metadata from the free list, then all the modifications getted logged, and we have no issues, either. And if it gets allocated as userdata direct from the freelist, it gets invalidated and so will never get written. However, during the time it sits on the free list, pressure on the log can cause the AIL to be pushed and the buffer that covers the block gets pushed for write. IOWs, we end up writing a freed metadata block to disk. Again, this isn't the end of the world because we know from the above we are only writing to free space. The problem, however, is for validation callbacks. If the block was on old btree root block, then the level of the block is going to be higher than the current tree root, and so will fail validation. There may be other inconsistencies in the block as well, and currently we don't care because the block is in free space. Shutting down the filesystem because a freed block doesn't pass write validation, OTOH, is rather unfriendly. So, make sure we always invalidate buffers as they move from the free space trees to the free list so that we guarantee they never get written to disk while on the free list.

Switching stacks are xfs_alloc_vextent can cause deadlocks when we run out of worker threads on the allocation workqueue. This can occur because xfs_bmap_btalloc can make multiple calls to xfs_alloc_vextent() and even if xfs_alloc_vextent() fails it can return with the AGF locked in the current allocation transaction. If we then need to make another allocation, and all the allocation worker contexts are exhausted because the are blocked waiting for the AGF lock, holder of the AGF cannot get it's xfs-alloc_vextent work completed to release the AGF. Hence allocation effectively deadlocks. To avoid this, move the stack switch one layer up to xfs_bmapi_allocate() so that all of the allocation attempts in a single switched stack transaction occur in a single worker context. This avoids the problem of an allocation being blocked waiting for a worker thread whilst holding the AGF.

Certain allocation paths through xfs_bmapi_write() are in situations where we have limited stack available. These are almost always in the buffered IO writeback path when convertion delayed allocation extents to real extents. The current stack switch occurs for userdata allocations, which means we also do stack switches for preallocation, direct IO and unwritten extent conversion, even those these call chains have never been implicated in a stack overrun. Hence, let's target just the single stack overun offended for stack switches. To do that, introduce a XFS_BMAPI_STACK_SWITCH flag that the caller can pass xfs_bmapi_write() to indicate it should switch stacks if it needs to do allocation.
