As we may run relay_reserve from interrupt context we must always disable IRQs. This is because a call to relay_reserve may expose previously written data to use space.

This implements a few changes on top of the recent kobjsize() refactoring introduced by commit 6cfd53fc. As Christoph points out: virt_to_head_page cannot return NULL. virt_to_page also does not return NULL. pfn_valid() needs to be used to figure out if a page is valid. Otherwise the page struct reference that was returned may have PageReserved() set to indicate that it is not a valid page. As discussed further in the thread, virt_addr_valid() is the preferable way to validate the object pointer in this case. In addition to fixing up the reserved page case, it also has the benefit of encapsulating the hack introduced by commit 4016a139 on the impacted platforms, allowing us to get rid of the extra checking in kobjsize() for the platforms that don't perform this type of bizarre memory_end abuse (every nommu platform that isn't blackfin). If blackfin decides to get in line with every other platform and use PageReserved for the DMA pages in question, kobjsize() will also continue to work fine. It also turns out that compound_order() will give us back 0-order for non-head pages, so we can get rid of the PageCompound check and just use compound_order() directly. Clean that up while we're at it.

Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> wrote: We have a case in powerpc in which we want to link some library routines with all module objects. The routines are intended for handling out-of-line function call register save/restore so having them as EXPORT_SYMBOL() is counter productive (we do also need to link the same "library" code into the kernel). Without this patch a powerpc build would error out and fail to build modules with the added register save/restore module. There were two obvious solutions: 1) To link the .o file before the modpost stage 2) To ignore the symbols in modpost Option 1) was ruled out because we do not have any separate linking stage for single file modules. This patch implements option 2 - and do so only for powerpc. The symbols we ignore are all undefined symbols named: _restgpr_*, _savegpr_*, _rest32gpr_*, _save32gpr_* Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

(overflow means weight >= 2^32 here, because inv_weigh = 2^32/weight) A weight of a cfs_rq is the sum of weights of which entities are queued on this cfs_rq, so it will overflow when there are too many entities. Although, overflow occurs very rarely, but it break fairness when it occurs. 64-bits systems have more memory than 32-bit systems and 64-bit systems can create more process usually, so overflow may occur more frequently. This patch guarantees fairness when overflow happens on 64-bit systems. Thanks to the optimization of compiler, it changes nothing on 32-bit.

I found a bug which can be reproduced by this way:(linux-2.6.26-rc5, x86-64) (use 2^32, 2^33, ...., 2^63 as shares value) # mkdir /dev/cpuctl # mount -t cgroup -o cpu cpuctl /dev/cpuctl # cd /dev/cpuctl # mkdir sub # echo 0x8000000000000000 > sub/cpu.shares # echo $$ > sub/tasks oops here! divide by zero. This is because do_div() expects the 2th parameter to be 32 bits, but unsigned long is 64 bits in x86_64. Peter Zijstra pointed it out that the sane thing to do is limit the shares value to something smaller instead of using an even more expensive divide. Also, I found another bug about "the shares value is too large": pid1 and pid2 are set affinity to cpu#0 pid1 is attached to cg1 and pid2 is attached to cg2 if cg1/cpu.shares = 1024 cg2/cpu.shares = 2000000000 then pid2 got 100% usage of cpu, and pid1 0% if cg1/cpu.shares = 1024 cg2/cpu.shares = 20000000000 then pid2 got 0% usage of cpu, and pid1 100% And a weight of a cfs_rq is the sum of weights of which entities are queued on this cfs_rq, so the shares value should be limited to a smaller value. I think that (1UL << 18) is a good limited value: 1) it's not too large, we can create a lot of group before overflow 2) it's several times the weight value for nice=-19 (not too small) Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

We have a few instances of the open-coded iterative div/mod loop, used when we don't expcet the dividend to be much bigger than the divisor. Unfortunately modern gcc's have the tendency to strength "reduce" this into a full mod operation, which isn't necessarily any faster, and even if it were, doesn't exist if gcc implements it in libgcc. The workaround is to put a dummy asm statement in the loop to prevent gcc from performing the transformation. This patch creates a single implementation of this loop, and uses it to replace the open-coded versions I know about.

This patch tries to identify which devices are able to accept reset-resume handling, by checking that there is at least one interface driver bound and that all of the drivers have a reset_resume method defined. If these conditions don't hold then during resume processing, the device is logicall disconnected. This is only a temporary fix. Later on we will explicitly unbind drivers that can't handle reset-resumes.

If acpi_install_notify_handler() for a bay device fails, the bay driver is superfluous. Most likely, another driver (like libata) is already caring about this device anyway. Furthermore, register_hotplug_dock_device(acpi_handle) from the dock driver must not be called twice with the same handler. This would result in an endless loop consuming 100% of CPU.

When configuring the resources of an ACPI device, we first evaluate _CRS to get a template of resource descriptors, then fill in the specific resource values we want, and finally evaluate _SRS to actually configure the device. Some resources have optional fields, so the size of encoded descriptors varies depending on the specific values. For example, IRQ descriptors can be either two or three bytes long. The third byte contains triggering information and can be omitted if the IRQ is edge-triggered and active high. The BIOS often assumes that IRQ descriptors in the _SRS buffer use the same format as those in the _CRS buffer, so this patch enforces that constraint. The "Start Dependent Function" descriptor also has an optional byte, but we don't currently encode those descriptors, so I didn't do anything for those. I have tested this patch on a Toshiba Portege 4000. Without the patch, parport_pc claims the parallel port only if I use "pnpacpi=off". This patch makes it work with PNPACPI.

When decoding IRQ trigger mode and polarity, it is not enough to mask by IORESOURCE_BITS because there are now additional bits defined. For example, if IORESOURCE_IRQ_SHAREABLE was set, we failed to set *triggering and *polarity at all.

The less tested codepaths for LED handling, used on ThinkPads 570, 600e/x, 770e, 770x, A21e, A2xm/p, T20-22, X20 and maybe a few others, would write data to kernel memory it had no business touching, for leds number 3 and above. If one is lucky, that illegal write would cause an OOPS, but chances are it would silently corrupt a byte. The problem was introduced in commit af116101, "ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add sysfs led class support to thinkpad leds (v3.2)". Fix the bug by refactoring the entire code to be far more obvious on what it wants to do. Also do some defensive "constification". Issue reported by Karol Lewandowski <lmctlx@gmail.com> (he's an lucky guy and got an OOPS instead of silent corruption :-) ). Root cause of the OOPS identified by Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org>.
