Purely in-memory filesystems do not use the inode hash as the dcache tells us if an entry already exists. As a result, they do not call unlock_new_inode, and thus directory inodes do not get put into a different lockdep class for i_sem. We need the different lockdep classes, because the locking order for i_mutex is different for directory inodes and regular inodes. Directory inodes can do "readdir()", which takes i_mutex *before* possibly taking mm->mmap_sem (due to a page fault while copying the directory entry to user space). In contrast, regular inodes can be mmap'ed, which takes mm->mmap_sem before accessing i_mutex. The two cases can never happen for the same inode, so no real deadlock can occur, but without the different lockdep classes, lockdep cannot understand that. As a result, if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set, this can lead to false positives from lockdep like below: find/645 is trying to acquire lock: (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff81109514>] might_fault+0x5c/0xac but task is already holding lock: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81149f34>] vfs_readdir+0x5b/0xb4 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+.+.}: [<ffffffff8108ac26>] lock_acquire+0xbf/0x103 [<ffffffff814db822>] __mutex_lock_common+0x4c/0x361 [<ffffffff814dbc46>] mutex_lock_nested+0x40/0x45 [<ffffffff811daa87>] hugetlbfs_file_mmap+0x82/0x110 [<ffffffff81111557>] mmap_region+0x258/0x432 [<ffffffff811119dd>] do_mmap_pgoff+0x2ac/0x306 [<ffffffff81111b4f>] sys_mmap_pgoff+0x118/0x16a [<ffffffff8100c858>] sys_mmap+0x22/0x24 [<ffffffff814e3ec2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b -> #0 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}: [<ffffffff8108a4bc>] __lock_acquire+0xa1a/0xcf7 [<ffffffff8108ac26>] lock_acquire+0xbf/0x103 [<ffffffff81109541>] might_fault+0x89/0xac [<ffffffff81149cff>] filldir+0x6f/0xc7 [<ffffffff811586ea>] dcache_readdir+0x67/0x205 [<ffffffff81149f54>] vfs_readdir+0x7b/0xb4 [<ffffffff8114a073>] sys_getdents+0x7e/0xd1 [<ffffffff814e3ec2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b This patch moves the directory vs file lockdep annotation into a helper function that can be called by in-memory filesystems and has hugetlbfs call it.

I ran into a couple of programs which broke with the new Linux 3.0 version. Some of those were binary only. I tried to use LD_PRELOAD to work around it, but it was quite difficult and in one case impossible because of a mix of 32bit and 64bit executables. For example, all kind of management software from HP doesnt work, unless we pretend to run a 2.6 kernel. $ uname -a Linux svivoipvnx001 3.0.0-08107-g97cd98f #1062 SMP Fri Aug 12 18:11:45 CEST 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $ hpacucli ctrl all show Error: No controllers detected. $ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/hpacucli hpacucli-8.75-12.0 Another notable case is that Python now reports "linux3" from sys.platform(); which in turn can break things that were checking sys.platform() == "linux2": https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664564 It seems pretty clear to me though it's a bug in the apps that are using '==' instead of .startswith(), but this allows us to unbreak broken programs. This patch adds a UNAME26 personality that makes the kernel report a 2.6.40+x version number instead. The x is the x in 3.x. I know this is somewhat ugly, but I didn't find a better workaround, and compatibility to existing programs is important. Some programs also read /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease. This can be worked around in user space with mount --bind (and a mount namespace) To use: wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/ak/uname26/uname26.c gcc -o uname26 uname26.c ./uname26 program Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

In commit a144c6a6 ("PM: Print a warning if firmware is requested when tasks are frozen") we not only printed a warning if somebody tried to load the firmware when tasks are frozen - we also failed the load. But that check was done before the check for built-in firmware, and then when we disallowed usermode helpers during bootup (commit 288d5abe: "Boot up with usermodehelper disabled"), that actually means that built-in modules can no longer load their firmware even if the firmware is built in too. Which used to work, and some people depended on it for the R100 driver. So move the test for usermodehelper_is_disabled() down, to after checking the built-in firmware.

When we enter a 32-bit system call via SYSENTER or SYSCALL, we shuffle the arguments to match the int $0x80 calling convention. This was probably a design mistake, but it's what it is now. This causes errors if the system call as to be restarted. For SYSENTER, we have to invoke the instruction from the vdso as the return address is hardcoded. Accordingly, we can simply replace the jump in the vdso with an int $0x80 instruction and use the slower entry point for a post-restart.

This reverts commit f3637a5f. It turns out that this breaks several drivers, one example being OMAP boards which use the on-board OMAP UARTs and the omap-serial driver that will not boot to userspace after the commit. Paul Walmsley reports that enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ reveals 'IRQ handler type mismatch' errors: IRQ handler type mismatch for IRQ 74 current handler: serial idle ... and the reason is that setting IRQF_ONESHOT will now result in those interrupt handlers having different IRQF flags, and thus being unsharable. So the commit log in the reverted commit: "Since it is required for those users and there is no difference for others it makes sense to add this flag unconditionally." is simply not true: there may not be any difference from a "actions at irq time", but there is a *big* difference wrt this flag testing irq management (see __setup_irq() in kernel/irq/manage.c). One solution may be to stop verifying IRQF_ONESHOT in __setup_irq(), but right now the safe course of action is to revert the change. Let's revisit this in a later merge window.

The wiimote reports data in several data reporting modes (DRM). The DRM request makes the wiimote send data in the requested drm. The DRM mode can be set explicitely or can be chosen by the driver. To let the driver choose the DRM mode, pass WIIPROTO_REQ_NULL placeholder to it. This is no valid request and is replaced with an appropriate DRM. Currently, the driver always sets the basic DRM_K mode, but this will be extended when further peripherals like accelerometer and IR are supported.
