The TOD clock offset injected by an STP sync check can be negative. If the resulting total tod_steering_delta gets negative the kernel will panic. Change the type of tod_steering_delta to a signed type.

The user_timer and system_timer fields are used for the per-thread cputime accounting code. The access to these values is simpler if they are moved to the thread_struct as the task_thread_info(tsk) indirection is not needed anymore.

Convert s390 to use a field in the struct lowcore for the CPU preemption count. It is a bit cheaper to access a lowcore field compared to a thread_info variable and it removes the depencency on a task related structure. bloat-o-meter on the vmlinux image for the default configuration (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y) reports a small reduction in text size: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 18/578 up/down: 228/-5448 (-5220) A larger improvement is achieved with the default configuration but with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=n: add/remove: 2/6 grow/shrink: 59/4477 up/down: 1618/-228762 (-227144) Reviewed-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

We generally expect headers in arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm directory are included from kernel sources, but facilities_src.h is not; it is included from the arch/s390/tools/gen_facilities.c tool. There is no reason to expose this header to the public include path. Furthermore, facilities_src.h makes sure to be included only from gen_facilities.c by the following: #ifndef S390_GEN_FACILITIES_C #error "This file can only be included by gen_facilities.c" #endif This check can be removed by merging the two files.

We replace module.h with moduleparam.h since the file does declare some module_param() and leaving that as-is is currently the easiest way to remain compatible with existing boot arg use cases.

The function dasd_ro_store() calls set_disk_ro() to set the device in question read-only. Since set_disk_ro() might sleep, we can't call it while holding a lock. However, we also can't simply check if the device, block, and gdp references are valid before we call set_disk_ro() because an offline processing might have been started in the meanwhile which will destroy those references. In order to reliably call set_disk_ro() we have to ensure several things: - Still check validity of the mentioned references but additionally check if offline processing is running and bail out accordingly. Also, do this while holding the device lock. - To ensure that the block device is still safe after the lock, increase the open_count while still holding the device lock.

The reference to a device in question may get lost when the extended error reporting (EER) attribute is being enabled/disabled while the device is set offline at the same time. This is due to missing refcounting and incorrect locking. Fix this by the following: - In dasd_eer_store() get the device directly and handle the refcount accordingly. - Move the lock in dasd_eer_enable() up so we can ensure safe processing. - Check if the device is being set offline and return with -EBUSY if so. - While at it, change the return code from -EPERM to -EMEDIUMTYPE as suggested by a FIXME, since that is what we're actually checking.

Before we set a device offline, the open_count for the block device is checked and certain flags are checked and set as well. However, this is all done without holding any lock. Potentially, if the open_count was checked but the DASD_FLAG_OFFLINE wasn't set yet, a different process might want to increase the open_count depending on whether DASD_FLAG_OFFLINE is set or not in the meanwhile. This is quite racy and can lead to the loss of the device for that process and subsequently lead to a panic. Fix this by checking the open_count and setting the offline flags while holding the ccwdev lock.

When setting certain attributes, we actually set the according feature flag. Do this by using dasd_set_feature() at a few occurrences and remove duplicate code. In dasd_set_feature() dasd_find_busid() is used to retrieve the devmap for the device in question. Combined with the change above, this would require the device to be set online at least once so that a devmap is being created. Change that by using dasd_devmap_from_cdev() instead, which uses dasd_find_busid() first and will create a devmap accordingly if there is none yet.

On STP sync events the TOD clock will jump in time, either forward or backward. The TOD clocksource claims to be continuous but in case of an STP sync with a negative offset it is not. Subtract the offset injected by the STP sync check from the result of the TOD clocksource to make it continuous again. Add code to drift the offset towards zero with a fixed rate, steering 1 second in ~9 hours.

gen_pool_alloc_algo() iterates over the chunks of a pool trying to find a contiguous block of memory that satisfies the allocation request. The shortcut if (size > atomic_read(&chunk->avail)) continue; makes the loop skip over chunks that do not have enough bytes left to fulfill the request. There are two situations, though, where an allocation might still fail: (1) The available memory is not contiguous, i.e. the request cannot be fulfilled due to external fragmentation. (2) A race condition. Another thread runs the same code concurrently and is quicker to grab the available memory. In those situations, the loop calls pool->algo() to search the entire chunk, and pool->algo() returns some value that is >= end_bit to indicate that the search failed. This return value is then assigned to start_bit. The variables start_bit and end_bit describe the range that should be searched, and this range should be reset for every chunk that is searched. Today, the code fails to reset start_bit to 0. As a result, prefixes of subsequent chunks are ignored. Memory allocations might fail even though there is plenty of room left in these prefixes of those other chunks.
