Introduce the disable_irq_nosync_lockdep_irqsave() and enable_irq_lockdep_irqrestore() APIs. These are needed for NE2000; basically NE2000 calls disable_irq and enable_irq as locking against the IRQ handler, but both in cases where interrupts are on and off. This means that lockdep needs to track the old state of the virtual irq flags on disable_irq, and restore these at enable_irq time. Signed-off-by:

It always returns 0, so relying on it is useless. The only caller isn't checking return value. In general, un-, de-, -free functions should return void. Signed-off-by:

Currently, __acquire and __release take a lock expression, but __cond_lock takes only a condition, not the lock acquired if the expression evaluates to true. Change __cond_lock to accept a lock expression, and change all the callers to pass in a lock expression. Signed-off-by:

At the beginning of the routine, "copied" is set to 0, but it is no good because in lines 805 and 812 it is set to other values. Finally, the routine returns as if it copied 12 (=ENOMEM) bytes less than it actually did. Signed-off-by:

spin_trylock_irq and spin_trylock_irqsave use _spin_trylock, which does not use the __cond_lock wrapper annotation and thus does not affect the lock context; change them to use spin_trylock instead, which does use __cond_lock. Signed-off-by:
-
Josh Triplett authored
The lock annotations used on spinlocks and rwlocks currently use __{acquires,releases}(spinlock_t) and __{acquires,releases}(rwlock_t), respectively. This loses the information of which lock actually got acquired or released, and assumes a different type for the parameter of __acquires and __releases than the rest of the kernel. While the current implementations of __acquires and __releases throw away their argument, this will not always remain the case. Change this to use the lock parameter instead, to preserve this information and increase consistency in usage of __acquires and __releases. Signed-off-by: -

If your driver implements "break on" and "break off" this ensures you won't get multiple overlapping requests or requests in parallel. If your driver has its own break handling then its still your problem as the driver author. Break is also now serialized against writes from user space properly but no new guarantees are made driver level about writes from the line discipline itself (eg flow control or echo) Signed-off-by:

copy_process: // holds tasklist_lock + ->siglock /* * inherit ioprio */ p->ioprio = current->ioprio; Why? ->ioprio was already copied in dup_task_struct(). I guess this is needed to ensure that the child can't escape sys_ioprio_set(IOPRIO_WHO_{PGRP,USER}), yes? In that case we don't need ->siglock held, and the comment should be updated.

Remove open-coded has_rt_policy(), no changes in kernel/exit.o Signed-off-by:
-
Oleg Nesterov authored
I am not sure this patch is correct: I can't understand what the current code does, and I don't know what it was supposed to do. The comment says: * can't change policy, except between SCHED_NORMAL * and SCHED_BATCH: The code: if (((policy != SCHED_NORMAL && p->policy != SCHED_BATCH) && (policy != SCHED_BATCH && p->policy != SCHED_NORMAL)) && But this is equivalent to: if ( (is_rt_policy(policy) && has_rt_policy(p)) && which means something different. We can't _decrease_ the current ->rt_priority with such a check (if rlim[RLIMIT_RTPRIO] == 0). Probably, it was supposed to be: if ( !(policy == SCHED_NORMAL && p->policy == SCHED_BATCH) && !(policy == SCHED_BATCH && p->policy == SCHED_NORMAL) this matches the comment, but strange: it doesn't allow to _drop_ the realtime priority when rlim[RLIMIT_RTPRIO] == 0. I think the right check would be: /* can't set/change rt policy */ if (is_rt_policy(policy) && policy != p->policy && !rlim_rtprio) return -EPERM; Signed-off-by:

It is sure confusing that linux/ptrace.h has: #define PTRACE_SINGLESTEP 9 #define PTRACE_ATTACH 0x10 #define PTRACE_DETACH 0x11 #define PTRACE_SYSCALL 24 All the low-numbered constants are in decimal, but the last two in hex. It sure makes it likely that someone will look at this and think that 9, 10, 11 are used, and that 16 and 17 are not used. How about we use the same notation for all the numbers [0,24] in the same short list? Signed-off-by:

Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change. Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky. This cleanup make a barrier added by 5aee405c needless. So this patch removes it. As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really remove wall_jiffies. It would be another cleanup patch) Signed-off-by:

There was an I/O error that prevented reading the last partial block of large files in an ISO9660 filesystem. The error was generated when a file comprised more than one section and had a size that was not an exact multiple of the filesystem block size. This patch removes the check (and failure) for reading into the last partial block (and possibly beyond) for multiple-section files. It worked in my testing to prevent reading beyond the end of the section; my first patch just incremented the sect_size block count for a partial block and continued doing the check. But there is a commment in the source code about reading beyond the end of the file to fill a page cache. Failing to access beyond the section would prevent reading beyond the end of the file.
