Pure whitespace and style fixes split out from subsequent patch. Some changes (err -> ret) don't make sense now, only later, but I split them out anyway since they cluttered the patch. Signed-off-by:

do_ubd is actually just a boolean variable - the way it is used currently is a leftover from the old 2.4 block layer, but it is still used; its use is suspicious, but removing it would be too intrusive for now and needs more thinking. Signed-off-by:

Add some comments about requirements for ubd_io_lock and expand its use. When an irq signals that the "controller" (i.e. another thread on the host, which does the actual requests and is the only one blocked on I/O on the host) has done some work, we call again the request function ourselves (do_ubd_request). We now do that with ubd_io_lock held - that's useful to protect against concurrent calls to elv_next_request and so on. XXX: Maybe we shouldn't call at all the request function. Input needed on this. Are we supposed to plug and unplug the queue? That code "indirectly" does that by setting a flag, called do_ubd, which makes the request function return (it's a residual of 2.4 block layer interface). Meanwhile, however, merge this patch, which improves things. Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by:

This lock protects ubd setup and teardown, so is only used in process context; beyond that, during such setup memory allocations must be performed and some generic functions which can sleep must be called (such as add_disk()). So the only correct solution is to make it a mutex instead of a spin_lock. No other change is done - this lock must be acquired in different places but it's done afterwards. Signed-off-by:

To rethink locking, I needed to understand well what each function does. While doing this I renamed some: * ubd_close -> ubd_close_dev (since it pairs with ubd_open_dev) * ubd_new_disk -> ubd_disk_register (it handles registration with the block layer - one hopes this makes clearer the difference with ubd_add()) Signed-off-by:

Rename the ubd_dev array to ubd_devs and then call any "struct ubd" ubd_dev instead of dev, which doesn't make clear what we're treating (and no, it's not hungarian notation - not any more than calling all vm_area_struct vma or all inodes inode). Signed-off-by:

With 256 minors and 16 minors used per each UBD device, we can allow the use of up to 16 UBD devices per UML. Also chnage parse_unit and leave to the caller (which already do it) the check for excess numbers, since this is just supposed to do raw parsing. Signed-off-by:

add_bd_holder() is called from bd_claim_by_kobject to put a given struct bd_holder in the list if there is no matching entry. There are 3 possible results of add_bd_holder(): 1. there is no matching entry and add the given one to the list 2. there is matching entry, so just increment reference count of the existing one 3. something failed during its course 1 and 2 are successful cases. But for case 2, someone has to free the unused struct bd_holder. The current code frees it inside of add_bd_holder and returns same value 0 for both cases 1 and 2. However, it's natural and less error-prone if caller frees it since it's allocated by the caller. Signed-off-by: -

This fixes bd_claim_by_kobject to release bdev correctly in case that bd_claim succeeds but following add_bd_holder fails. Signed-off-by:

A recent patch fixed a problem which would occur when the refcount on an auth_domain reached zero. This problem has not been reported in practice despite existing in two major kernel releases because the refcount can never reach zero. This patch fixes the problems that stop the refcount reaching zero. 1/ We were adding to the refcount when inserting in the hash table, but only removing from the hashtable when the refcount reached zero. Obviously it never would. So don't count the implied reference of being in the hash table. 2/ There are two paths on which a socket can be destroyed. One called svcauth_unix_info_release(). The other didn't. So when the other was taken, we can lose a reference to an ip_map which in-turn holds a reference to an auth_domain So unify the exit paths into svc_sock_put. This highlights the fact that svc_delete_socket has slightly odd semantics - it does not drop a reference but probably should. Fixing this need a bit more thought and testing. Signed-off-by:

From: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com>, Paolo Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Make sure that when compiling USER_OBJS the correct compilation options are passed; since they are compiled with USER_CFLAGS which is derived from CFLAGS, make sure it is a recursively evaluated variable, so that changes to CFLAGS done afterwards the inclusion of arch/$(ARCH)/Makefile are reflected in USER_CFLAGS. For instance, without this patch userspace objects are never compiled with debug info active. Signed-off-by:

Fix commit 5f4c6bc1: it spits out warnings about missing syscall prototype (it is in <unistd.h>) and it does not recognize that two uses of _syscallX are to be resolved against kernel headers in the source tree, not against _syscallX; they in fact do not compile and would not work anyway. If _syscallX macros will be removed from the kernel tree altogether, the only reasonable solution for that piece of code is switching to open-coded inline assembly (it's remapping the whole executable from memory, except the page containing this code).
