This patch removes the decap_state argument from the xfrm input hook. Previously this function allowed the input hook to share state with the post_input hook. The latter has since been removed. The only purpose for it now is to check the encap type. However, it is easier and better to move the encap type check to the generic xfrm_rcv function. This allows us to get rid of the decap state argument altogether. Signed-off-by:

Fixes Samba bug 3621 and kernel.org bug 6147 For servers which require SMB/CIFS packet signing, we were sending the wrong signature (all zeros) on SMB Read request. The new cifs routine to do signatures across an iovec was not complete - and SMB Read, unlike the new SMBWrite2, did not fall back to the older routine (ie use SendReceive vs. the more efficient SendReceive2 ie used the older cifs_sign_smb vs. the disabled cifs_sign_smb2) for calculating signatures. This finishes up cifs_sign_smb2/cifs_calc_signature2 so that the callers of SendReceive2 can get SMB/CIFS packet signatures. Now that cifs_sign_smb2 is supported, we could start using it in the write path but this smaller fix does not include the change to use SMBWrite2 when signatures are required (which when enabled will make more Writes more efficient and alloc less memory). Currently Write2 is only used when signatures are not required at the moment but after more testing we will enable that as well). Thanks to James Slepicka and Sam Flory for initial investigation.

Commit 70674f95: [PATCH] Optimize select/poll by putting small data sets on the stack resulted in the poll stack being 4-byte aligned on 64-bit architectures, causing misaligned accesses to elements in the array. This patch fixes it by declaring the stack in terms of 'long' instead of 'char'. Force alignment of poll and select stacks to long to avoid unaligned access on 64 bit architectures. Signed-off-by:

The attached patch documents the Linux kernel's memory barriers. I've updated it from the comments I've been given. The per-arch notes sections are gone because it's clear that there are so many exceptions, that it's not worth having them. I've added a list of references to other documents. I've tried to get rid of the concept of memory accesses appearing on the bus; what matters is apparent behaviour with respect to other observers in the system. Interrupts barrier effects are now considered to be non-existent. They may be there, but you may not rely on them. I've added a couple of definition sections at the top of the document: one to specify the minimum execution model that may be assumed, the other to specify what this document refers to by the term "memory". I've made greater mention of the use of mmiowb(). I've adjusted the way in which caches are described, and described the fun that can be had with cache coherence maintenance being unordered and data dependency not being necessarily implicit. I've described (smp_)read_barrier_depends(). I've rearranged the order of the sections, so that memory barriers are discussed in abstract first, and then described the memory barrier facilities available on Linux, before going on to more real-world discussions and examples. I've added information about the lack of memory barriering effects with atomic ops and bitops. I've added information about control dependencies. I've added more diagrams to illustrate caching interactions between CPUs. Signed-off-by:

The monochrome->color expansion routine that handles bitmaps which have (widths % 8) != 0 (slow_imageblit) produces corrupt characters in big-endian. This is caused by a bogus bit test in slow_imageblit(). Fix. This patch may deserve to go to the stable tree. The code has already been well tested in little-endian machines. It's only in big-endian where there is uncertainty and Herbert confirmed that this is the correct way to go. It should not introduce regressions. Signed-off-by:

Generalise the Corgi backlight driver by moving the default intensity and limit mask settings into the platform specific data structure.

Updates to the HP Jornada 680 Backlight driver: - Correct the suspend/resume functions so the driver compiles (SUSPEND_POWER_DOWN/RESUME_POWER_ON no longer exist). - Convert the driver to match the recent platform device changes. - Replace the unsafe static struct platform_device with dynamic allocation. - Convert the driver to the new backlight code. This has not been tested on a device due to lack of hardware but wouldn't compile beforehand. Signed-off-by:

Backlight class attributes are currently easy to implement incorrectly. Moving certain handling into the backlight core prevents this whilst at the same time makes the drivers simpler and consistent. The following changes are included: The brightness attribute only sets and reads the brightness variable in the backlight_properties structure. The power attribute only sets and reads the power variable in the backlight_properties structure. Any framebuffer blanking events change a variable fb_blank in the backlight_properties structure. The backlight driver has only two functions to implement. One function is called when any of the above properties change (to update the backlight brightness), the second is called to return the current backlight brightness value. A new attribute "actual_brightness" is added to return this brightness as determined by the driver having combined all the above factors (and any driver/device specific factors). Additionally, the backlight core takes care of checking the maximum brightness is not exceeded and of turning off the backlight before device removal. The corgi backlight driver is updated to reflect these changes. Signed-off-by:

It is very common to hash a dentry and then to call lookup. If we take fs specific hash functions into account the full hash logic can get ugly. Further full_name_hash as an inline function is almost 100 bytes on x86 so having a non-inline choice in some cases can measurably decrease code size. Signed-off-by:

Simplifies the code, reduces the need for 4 pid hash tables, and makes the code more capable. In the discussions I had with Oleg it was felt that to a large extent the cleanup itself justified the work. With struct pid being dynamically allocated meant we could create the hash table entry when the pid was allocated and free the hash table entry when the pid was freed. Instead of playing with the hash lists when ever a process would attach or detach to a process. For myself the fact that it gave what my previous task_ref patch gave for free with simpler code was a big win. The problem is that if you hold a reference to struct task_struct you lock in 10K of low memory. If you do that in a user controllable way like /proc does, with an unprivileged but hostile user space application with typical resource limits of 1000 fds and 100 processes I can trigger the OOM killer by consuming all of low memory with task structs, on a machine wight 1GB of low memory. If I instead hold a reference to struct pid which holds a pointer to my task_struct, I don't suffer from that problem because struct pid is 2 orders of magnitude smaller. In fact struct pid is small enough that most other kernel data structures dwarf it, so simply limiting the number of referring data structures is enough to prevent exhaustion of low memory. This splits the current struct pid into two structures, struct pid and struct pid_link, and reduces our number of hash tables from PIDTYPE_MAX to just one. struct pid_link is the per process linkage into the hash tables and lives in struct task_struct. struct pid is given an indepedent lifetime, and holds pointers to each of the pid types. The independent life of struct pid simplifies attach_pid, and detach_pid, because we are always manipulating the list of pids and not the hash table. In addition in giving struct pid an indpendent life it makes the concept much more powerful. Kernel data structures can now embed a struct pid * instead of a pid_t and not suffer from pid wrap around problems or from keeping unnecessarily large amounts of memory allocated. Signed-off-by:

A big problem with rcu protected data structures that are also reference counted is that you must jump through several hoops to increase the reference count. I think someone finally implemented atomic_inc_not_zero(&count) to automate the common case. Unfortunately this means you must special case the rcu access case. When data structures are only visible via rcu in a manner that is not determined by the reference count on the object (i.e. tasks are visible until their zombies are reaped) there is a much simpler technique we can employ. Simply delaying the decrement of the reference count until the rcu interval is over. What that means is that the proc code that looks up a task and later wants to sleep can now do: rcu_read_lock(); task = find_task_by_pid(some_pid); if (task) { get_task_struct(task); } rcu_read_unlock(); The effect on the rest of the kernel is that put_task_struct becomes cheaper and immediate, and in the case where the task has been reaped it frees the task immediate instead of unnecessarily waiting an until the rcu interval is over. Cleanup of task_struct does not happen when its reference count drops to zero, instead cleanup happens when release_task is called. Tasks can only be looked up via rcu before release_task is called. All rcu protected members of task_struct are freed by release_task. Therefore we can move call_rcu from put_task_struct into release_task. And we can modify release_task to not immediately release the reference count but instead have it call put_task_struct from the function it gives to call_rcu. The end result: - get_task_struct is safe in an rcu context where we have just looked up the task. - put_task_struct() simplifies into its old pre rcu self. This reorganization also makes put_task_struct uncallable from modules as it is not exported but it does not appear to be called from any modules so this should not be an issue, and is trivially fixed.
