I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by:Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by:

Since kcmp syscall has been implemented (initially on x86 architecture) a number of other archs wire it up as well: xtensa, sparc, sh, s390, mips, microblaze, m68k (not taking into account those who uses <asm-generic/unistd.h> for syscall numbers definitions). But the Makefile, which turns kcmp.o generation on still depends on former config-x86. Thus get rid of this limitation and make kcmp.o depend on CHECKPOINT_RESTORE option. Signed-off-by:

Documentation/blockdev/nbd.txt contained some documentation which was horribly outdated and probably still dates from the original patch that added NBD support to the kernel. This patch removes the useless and outdated bits. The tools on nbd.sf.net are fully documented in manpages, which is where documentation for the non-kernel bits should live. Additionally, add a reference to the MAINTAINERS file for the nbd-general mailinglist that is used for discussion of the userland tools and the kernel module already. Signed-off-by:

There are two problems with shutdown in the NBD driver. 1: Receiving the NBD_DISCONNECT ioctl does not sync the filesystem. This patch adds the sync operation into __nbd_ioctl()'s NBD_DISCONNECT handler. This is useful because BLKFLSBUF is restricted to processes that have CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and the NBD client may not possess it (fsync of the block device does not sync the filesystem, either). 2: Once we clear the socket we have no guarantee that later reads will come from the same backing storage. The patch adds calls to kill_bdev() in __nbd_ioctl()'s socket clearing code so the page cache is cleaned, lest reads that hit on the page cache will return stale data from the previously-accessible disk. Example: # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sr0 # file -s /dev/nbd0 /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc. # qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0 # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sda # file -s /dev/nbd0 /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc. While /dev/sda has: # file -s /dev/sda /dev/sda: x86 boot sector; etc. Signed-off-by:Paul Clements <Paul.Clements@steeleye.com> Cc: Alex Bligh <alex@alex.org.uk> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by:

Currently, the NBD device does not accept flush requests from the Linux block layer. If the NBD server opened the target with neither O_SYNC nor O_DSYNC, however, the device will be effectively backed by a writeback cache. Without issuing flushes properly, operation of the NBD device will not be safe against power losses. The NBD protocol has support for both a cache flush command and a FUA command flag; the server will also pass a flag to note its support for these features. This patch adds support for the cache flush command and flag. In the kernel, we receive the flags via the NBD_SET_FLAGS ioctl, and map NBD_FLAG_SEND_FLUSH to the argument of blk_queue_flush. When the flag is active the block layer will send REQ_FLUSH requests, which we translate to NBD_CMD_FLUSH commands. FUA support is not included in this patch because all free software servers implement it with a full fdatasync; thus it has no advantage over supporting flush only. Because I [Paolo] cannot really benchmark it in a realistic scenario, I cannot tell if it is a good idea or not. It is also not clear if it is valid for an NBD server to support FUA but not flush. The Linux block layer gives a warning for this combination, the NBD protocol documentation says nothing about it. The patch also fixes a small problem in the handling of flags: nbd->flags must be cleared at the end of NBD_DO_IT, but the driver was not doing that. The bug manifests itself as follows. Suppose you two different client/server pairs to start the NBD device. Suppose also that the first client supports NBD_SET_FLAGS, and the first server sends NBD_FLAG_SEND_FLUSH; the second pair instead does neither of these two things. Before this patch, the second invocation of NBD_DO_IT will use a stale value of nbd->flags, and the second server will issue an error every time it receives an NBD_CMD_FLUSH command. This bug is pre-existing, but it becomes much more important after this patch; flush failures make the device pretty much unusable, unlike Signed-off-by:

Currently, sizeof(struct parsed_partitions) may be 64KB in 32bit arch, so it is easy to trigger page allocation failure by check_partition, especially in hotplug block device situation(such as, USB mass storage, MMC card, ...), and Felipe Balbi has observed the failure. This patch does below optimizations on the allocation of struct parsed_partitions to try to address the issue: - make parsed_partitions.parts as pointer so that the pointed memory can fit in 32KB buffer, then approximate 32KB memory can be saved - vmalloc the buffer pointed by parsed_partitions.parts because 32KB is still a bit big for kmalloc - given that many devices have the partition count limit, so only allocate disk_max_parts() partitions instead of 256 partitions always Signed-off-by:

UEFI 2.3.1D will include a change to the spec language mandating that a GPT header must be greater than *or equal to* the size of the defined structure. While verifying that this would work on Linux, I discovered that we're not actually checking the minimum bound at all. The result of this is that when we verify the checksum, it's possible that on a malformed header (with header_size of 0), we won't actually verify any data.

The configuration change building ipmi_si into the kernel precludes the use of a custom driver that can utilize more than one KCS interface, multiple IPMBs, and more than one BMC. This capability is important for fault-tolerant systems. Even if the kernel option ipmi_si.trydefaults=0 is specified, ipmi_si discovers and claims one of the KCS interfaces on a Stratus server. The inability to now prevent the kernel from managing this device is a regression from previous kernels. The regression breaks a capability fault-tolerant vendors have relied upon. To support both ACPI opregion access and the need to avoid activation of ipmi_si on some platforms, we've added two new kernel options, ipmi_si.tryacpi and ipmi_si.trydmi be added to prevent ipmi_si from initializing when these options are set to 0 on the kernel command line. With these options at the default value of 1, ipmi_si init proceeds according to the kernel default. Tested-by:

Until recently, when an negative ID is specified, idr functions used to ignore the sign bit and proceeded with the operation with the rest of bits, which is bizarre and error-prone. The behavior recently got changed so that negative IDs are treated as invalid but we're triggering WARN_ON_ONCE() on negative IDs just in case somebody was depending on the sign bit being ignored, so that those can be detected and fixed easily. We only need this for a while. Explain why WARN_ON_ONCE()s are there and that they can be removed later. Signed-off-by:

While idr lookup isn't a particularly heavy operation, it still is too substantial to use in hot paths without worrying about the performance implications. With recent changes, each idr_layer covers 256 slots which should be enough to cover most use cases with single idr_layer making lookup hint very attractive. This patch adds idr->hint which points to the idr_layer which allocated an ID most recently and the fast path lookup becomes if (look up target's prefix matches that of the hinted layer) return hint->ary[ID's offset in the leaf layer]; which can be inlined. idr->hint is set to the leaf node on idr_fill_slot() and cleared from free_layer().
