Here's an additional patch that contains the cleanups I did to John's timer patches. It does the following: - uses C99 initializers - makes the timer list static - adds better documentation to the timer function structure - makes the timer init function return 0 on success - NULL terminates the list of timers to make further patches easier.

The 2.5.x RPC code is currently broken in that it demands that all tasks that call xprt_create_proto() in order to open a TCP socket must have CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capabilities, and must bind to a privileged port. This breaks the NLM locking code and its use of the call_bind() RPC portmapper lookup feature. This patch allows the built-in portmapper client to use unbound TCP sockets if the user does not have the necessary capabilities.

This is a nontrivial change to the NFS client. In this patch, we finish modifying the async READ path so that it is version-agnostic. We define a new nfs_rpc_op ->setup_read(), and move the v2- and v3-specific code in nfs_read_rpcsetup() there. We also have to change nfs_readpage() result so that the 'count' of bytes read is a parameter. The extra parameter means that it can no longer be ->tk_exit(). Instead, it is called from a version-specific ->tk_exit() routine which is set in ->read_setup(). The upshot of all this is that the version-specific part of the async READ path has been encapsulated in a new nfs_rpc_op ->read_setup(), and NFSv4 can share the logic for asynchronous READ's with NFSv2 and v3.

This is a nontrivial change to the NFS client. Synchronous READ operations are currently done via the ->read() nfs_rpc_op. Therefore, the synchronous READ path can easily be adapted for NFSv4. On the other hand, the asynchronous READ path contains several NFSv3-specific features, which make it difficult to adapt for NFSv4. In this patch and the next, we modify the async READ path to be version-agnostic. This patch just changes the 'struct nfs_read_data' so that the v2- and v3-specific parts are moved into a private area, with room for a v4-specific part in parallel. None of the logic is changed.

If the NFS_ATTR_FATTR_V4 flag is set, use the NFSv3 convention for the 'space_used' part of the fattr.

This is a nontrivial change to the NFS client. NFSv4 defines a new file attribute, change_attr. This is a per-file opaque quantity returned by the server, whose value is required to change whenever the file is modified. If it exists, we want to use it for all cache consistency checks in nfs_refresh_inode(). Some operations also return a "pre-operation" value of the change_attr; we want to take this into account too. First, define flags NFS_ATTR_FATTR_V4 - indicates that the 'struct nfs_fattr' is an NFSv4 fattr, so the change_attr field is valid NFS_ATTR_PRE_CHANGE - indicates that the server returned a pre-operation change_attr, so the pre_change_attr field is valid Second, change nfs_refresh_inode() so that the caches are invalidated if there is a change_attr mismatch. Exception: If the pre_change_attr tells us that the mismatch was caused by our operation, then do not invalidate the caches. This patch should leave the logic in nfs_refresh_inode() unchanged if neither of the new flags are set.

In NFSv4, an fsid is a 64-bit major number together with a 64-bit minor number. In previous versions, an fsid is a single number. This patch changes 'struct nfs_fattr' accordingly.

In NFSv4, there is no hard limit on the length of symlink text. This patch changes the -ENAMETOOLONG test in nfs_symlink() accordingly.

This patch changes the interface of the ->setattr() nfs_rpc_op so that its first argument is a dentry instead of an inode. [Explanation: The dentry is required because in NFSv4, we may need to OPEN the file before doing the SETATTR. (This is required if the file size is changed as part of the setattr.) Opening the file requires making use of the containing directory's inode.]

This patch changes the interface of the ->readdir() nfs_rpc_op so that its first argument is a dentry instead of an inode. [Explanation: The dentry is required because in NFSv4, we need to make use of the _parent_ directory's inode. This is because NFSv4 servers no longer return an entry for ".." in the READDIR response, so the client kernel needs to fake this entry, inode number and all.]

In a number of places in the NFS client, I had to change #ifdef CONFIG_NFS_V3 /* ... */ #endif to #if defined(CONFIG_NFS_V3) || defined(CONFIG_NFS_V4) /* ... */ #endif

Instantiate a new file, include/linux/nfs4.h, which contains constants and typedef's for the NFSv4 protocol (by analogy with include/linux/nfs2.h and include/linux/nfs3.h). Also #include this file in a few places where it will be needed later.

The patch below removes some dead code and nonsense code. The part that changes behaviour is - if (sbi->s_cruft == 'n' && - (volume_seq_no != 0) && (volume_seq_no != 1)) { - printk(KERN_WARNING "Warning: defective CD-ROM " - "(volume sequence number %d). " - "Enabling \"cruft\" mount option.\n", volume_seq_no); - sbi->s_cruft = 'y'; - } that has already bitten lots of people. Nothing is wrong with a volume sequence number different from 0 or 1. (Cf. Ecma-119.pdf, Sections 4.17, 4.18, 6.6.)

This patch takes out the unused KERN_PPC_ZEROPAGED sysctl, and restricts the KERN_PPC_POWERSAVE_NAP and KERN_PPC_L2CR sysctls to be present only on those PPC processors where they are useful. This patch only affects PPC.

This patch adds the PCI device ID for the Motorola MPC107 host bridge. The entry is already in the list at pciids.sf.net but isn't in the kernel pci_ids.h file yet. Please apply this to your tree.

This patch allows to change uid, gid and mode of files and directories located in procfs. Without this patch you can change uid, gid and mode as long as the file is open. As soon as you close the file, it reverts back to its default, which is root:root and readonly usually.

Reference to .ver file incorrect after recent makefile changes. Grepped the kernel tree, and this is the only Makefile that uses $(MODVERDIR).

CD-ROM puts struct cdrom_changer_info on the stack in a few places, this is a bad idea since it's big (a bit over 1kb). This makes us allocate it instead. Noticed by Anton.

In order to demonstrate how new time-sources are added to my timer-changes patch. Here is my current version of my cyclone-timer patch for 2.5.41. This uses the infrastructure set up in the timer-changes_A4 patch set to add the cyclone counter (found on IBM Summit Based hardware) as a time-source. The current code is not enabled as it also depends on James Cleverdon's 2.5 summit patch, however it illustrates how cleanly new time-sources can be added.

This is the final part 3 of 3 of my timer-change patch. Part 3 integrates the moved code (from part 2) into the new infrastructure (from part 1).

John Stultz authored
This is part 2 of 3 of my timer-change patch. Part 2 is just a bulk move of code out of time.c and into timer_pit.c and timer_tsc.c. No code is changed, only moved. Please note, this code will not compile without the final third part of this patch collection. This was done for readability alone.

The i386 time.c code is turning into a mess. We've got multiple functions that do the same thing, only with different hardware, all surrounded #ifdefs and even more difficult to follow #ifndefs. George Anzinger is introducing a new ACPIpm time source, I'm going to attempt to add the cyclone counter as a time source, and in the future there will be HPET to deal with. These will not go in cleanly together as things are now. Inspired by suggestions from Alan, this collection of patches tries to clean up time.c by breaking out the PIT and TSC specific parts into their own files. Additionally the patch creates an abstract interface to use these existing time soruces, as well as make it easier to add future time sources. It introduces "struct timer_ops" which gives the time code a clear interface to use these different time sources. It also allows for clearer conditional compilation of these various time sources. This first patch (part 1 of 3) provides the infrastructure needed via the timer_ops structure, as well as the select_timer() function for choosing the best available timer.

Should resolve an ongoing fiasco concerning what we should return to userspace if they do a readv or writev of zero segments. SuS is ambiguous, but implies EINVAL. We're currently returning EINVAL, but 2.4 returns zero. I think zero makes more sense, and it is what 2.4 does.

The changed sched_yield() semantics have made ext3's transaction batching terribly slow. Apparently a schedule() fixes that, although it probably breaks transaction batching. This patch largely fixes my complaints about the new scheduler being extremely sluggish to interactive applications. Evidently those applications were calling fsync() and were spending extremely long periods in sched_yield().

From Hugh Dickins. radix_tree_reserve() exists solely for the tmpfs move_to_swap_cache() and move_from_swap_cache() functions, and yet they don't need it: there is no problem in the one page being simultaneously listed in two radix trees (while both locks are held). Use radix_tree_insert(), and remove radix_tree_reserve(); also removed a few blank lines.

Fix the raw driver by tricking it into performing O_DIRECT IO against the bound blockdev. - rewrite the i_mapping for /dev/raw/raw0 to point at the same thing as bdev->bd_inode->i_mapping. We've performed a bdget() against the blockdev, which should pin it for the correct lifetime. - set the O_DIRECT bit on the caller's file->flags.

The atomicicty fix for move_one_page() was not quite right. We only do the page_table_present() test if CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y. Which is fine, but even with CONFIG_HIGHPTE=n, the pte mapping functions still do an inc_preempt_count() due to their unconditional kmap_atomic(). So we get a might_sleep() warning. The warning is actually bogus, because those pte's are always in direct-mapped memory. So hm. Three fixes suggest themselves: 1: Run the page_table_present() test if CONFIG_HIGHMEM. Rejected: penalises non-pte_highmem setups 2: Make kmap_atomic() not do inc_preempt_count() is the page was direct mapped. Rejected: I don't think we want kmap_atomic side effects to be varying according to the page which was passed. 3: Change the pte mapping functions so they don't run kmap_atomic at all if CONFIG_HIGHPTE=n This is what I did. And guess what? For CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y, CONFIG_HIGHPTE=n this patch shrinks the kernel by 5 kbytes. Because kmap_atomic is inlined. The lesson: we do way too much damn inlining.

I have invented a new software development methodology! You send an email to Hugh saying "I don't have the foggiest idea why this guy's kernel is oopsing" and next morning, you get a patch! I shall patent this. Since 2.5.3, move_vma() has been passing a freed vma into move_page_tables(). Fix it to move back to the previous vma in the list if we're about to delete this one. Thanks to Morten Helgesen for patient reporting, diagnosis and testing.

This is my latest timer patchset, it makes del_timer_sync() a bit more robust wrt. code that re-adds timers from the timer handler. Other changes in the patch: - clean up cascading a bit. - do not save flags in __run_timer_list - we enter from an irqs-enabled tasklet.

2 bug fixes for scsi pass through When talking directly to scsi devices, the driver would sometimes get two things wrong. We could set too short of a timeout. Or, we could confuse the adapter by having non-zero values in certain fields which we shouldn't have been using. This patch corrects these problems.

2 minor bug fixes. The first section makes sure we limit the size of the sense_buffer copy to the target buffer's size so that we don't overflow the sence_buffer. The other sections remove some pointer arithmatic that is wrong on 64bit machines do to padding. Instead, just call the pci_map functions on the buffer.

This is by far the biggest patch. It is a rewrite of the driver's horrid locking. In addition to the host_lock, the driver used to have 4 other locks per adapter! It had a redundant ha_lock and a lock for each of 3 queues. In a few places it also played with atomic bit setting. And almost all of it was useless as the host_lock was already held. This patch cleans up this locking nightmare. The driver now uses the host_lock exclusively. Only a few places needed to add calls to lock the host_lock. Most of this patch is deletion of useless extra locking.

This patch adds an Adaptec copyright, makes a few minor comment changes, and removes a few unneeded macros.

This patch is some simple code consolidation. A new function ips_abort_init() is created and consolidates some repeated code that is used if there is an error during initialization of the adapter.
