Milan Broz authored
Introduce a bvec merge function for device mapper devices for dynamic size restrictions. This code ensures the requested biovec lies within a single target and then calls a target-specific function to check against any constraints imposed by underlying devices. Signed-off-by:

Change snapshot per-module mempool to per-device mempool. Per-module mempools could cause a deadlock if multiple snapshot devices are stacked above each other. Signed-off-by:

Mikulas Patocka authored
Fix a race condition that returns incorrect data when a write causes an exception to be allocated whilst a read is still in flight. The race condition happens as follows: * A read to non-reallocated sector in the snapshot is submitted so that the read is routed to the original device. * A write to the original device is submitted. The write causes an exception that reallocates the block. The write proceeds. * The original read is dequeued and reads the wrong data. This race can be triggered with CFQ scheduler and one thread writing and multiple threads reading simultaneously. (This patch relies upon the earlier dm-kcopyd-per-device.patch to avoid a deadlock.)

Whenever a snapshot read gets mapped through to the origin, track it in a per-snapshot hash table indexed by chunk number, using memory allocated from a new per-snapshot mempool. We need to track these reads to avoid race conditions which will be fixed by patches that follow. Signed-off-by:

make function tracing more robust: do not trace library functions. We've already got a sizable list of exceptions: ifdef CONFIG_FTRACE # Do not profile string.o, since it may be used in early boot or vdso CFLAGS_REMOVE_string.o = -pg # Also do not profile any debug utilities CFLAGS_REMOVE_spinlock_debug.o = -pg CFLAGS_REMOVE_list_debug.o = -pg CFLAGS_REMOVE_debugobjects.o = -pg CFLAGS_REMOVE_find_next_bit.o = -pg CFLAGS_REMOVE_cpumask.o = -pg CFLAGS_REMOVE_bitmap.o = -pg endif ... and the pattern has been that random library functionality showed up in ftrace's critical path (outside of its recursion check), causing hard to debug lockups. So be a bit defensive about it and exclude all lib/*.o functions by default. It's not that they are overly interesting for tracing purposes anyway. Specific ones can still be traced, in an opt-in manner. Signed-off-by: -

Compiling a kernel with allmodconfig or allyesconfig results in tons of gcc warnings, because the default maximum stacksize from which on gcc will emit a warning is just 256 bytes. Increase this to 2048, so these warnings don't distract from the real warnings that we need to watch at. Signed-off-by: -

-tip testing found a bootup hang here: initcall anon_inode_init+0x0/0x130 returned 0 after 0 msecs calling acpi_event_init+0x0/0x57 the bootup should have continued with: initcall acpi_event_init+0x0/0x57 returned 0 after 45 msecs but it hung hard there instead. bisection led to this commit: | commit 5806b81a | Merge: d14c8a68... 6712e299... | Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> | Date: Mon Jul 14 16:11:52 2008 +0200 | Merge branch 'auto-ftrace-next' into tracing/for-linus turns out that i made this mistake in the merge: ifdef CONFIG_FTRACE # Do not profile debug utilities CFLAGS_REMOVE_tsc_64.o = -pg CFLAGS_REMOVE_tsc_32.o = -pg those two files got unified meanwhile - so the dont-profile annotation got lost.

This fixes an arcane bug that we think was a regression introduced by commit b2b2cbc4. When a parent ignores SIGCHLD (or uses SA_NOCLDWAIT), its children would self-reap but they don't if it's using ptrace on them. When the parent thread later exits and ceases to ptrace a child but leaves other live threads in the parent's thread group, any zombie children are left dangling. The fix makes them self-reap then, as they would have done earlier if ptrace had not been in use. Signed-off-by:

This reverts the effect of commit f2cc3eb1 "do_wait: fix security checks". That change reverted the effect of commit 73243284. The rationale for the original commit still stands. The inconsistent treatment of children hidden by ptrace was an unintended omission in the original change and in no way invalidates its purpose. This makes do_wait return the error returned by security_task_wait() (usually -EACCES) in place of -ECHILD when there are some children the caller would be able to wait for if not for the permission failure. A permission error will give the user a clue to look for security policy problems, rather than for mysterious wait bugs. Signed-off-by:

ptrace no longer fiddles with the children/sibling links, and the old ptrace_children list is gone. Now ptrace, whether of one's own children or another's via PTRACE_ATTACH, just uses the new ptraced list instead. There should be no user-visible difference that matters. The only change is the order in which do_wait() sees multiple stopped children and stopped ptrace attachees. Since wait_task_stopped() was changed earlier so it no longer reorders the children list, we already know this won't cause any new problems. Signed-off-by:
