Prevent timeout overflow if timer ticks are behind jiffies (due to high softirq load or due to dyntick), by limiting the valid timeout range to MAX_LONG/2. Signed-off-by:

Ingo Molnar authored
Fix multiple conversion bugs in msecs_to_jiffies(). The main problem is that this condition: if (m > jiffies_to_msecs(MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET)) overflows if HZ is smaller than 1000! This change is user-visible: for HZ=250 SUS-compliant poll()-timeout value of -20 is mistakenly converted to 'immediate timeout'. (The new dyntick code also triggered this, that's how we noticed.)

A previous cleanup misused need_poll, which had a fairly broken interface. It implemented a growable array, changing the used elements count itself, but leaving it up to the caller to fill in the actual elements, including the entire array if the array had to be reallocated. This worked because the previous users were switching between two such structures, and the elements were copied from the inactive array to the active array after making sure the active array had enough room. maybe_sigio_broken was made to use need_poll, but it was operating on a single array, so when the buffer was reallocated, the previous contents were lost. This patch makes need_poll implement more sane semantics. It merely assures that the array is of the proper size and that the contents are preserved. It is up to the caller to adjust the used elements count and to ensure that the proper elements are resent. This manifested itself as a hang in 2.6.20 as the uninitialized buffer convinced UML that one of its own file descriptors didn't support SIGIO and needed to be watched by poll in a separate thread. The result was an interrupt flood as control traffic over this descriptor sparked interrupts, which resulted in more control traffic, ad nauseum. Signed-off-by:

It appears that the pcim_iomap_regions() function doesn't get the error handling right. It BUGs early at boot with a backtrace along the lines of: ahci_init pci_register_driver driver_register [...] ahci_init_one pcim_iomap_region pcim_iounmap The following patch allows me to boot. Only the if(mask..) continue; part fixes the problem actually, the gotos where changed so that we don't try to unmap something we couldn't map anyway. Signed-off-by:

This modifies drivers/ata/sata_vsc.c to only set the cache line size to 0x80 if the default value is zero. Apparently zero isn't allowed due to a bug in the chip, but I've found performance is much better with the (non-zero) default instead of 0x80.

The hald media changed polling does really confuse things. Noone knows why the delays are needed, but they give us access to the CD. An udelay(50) will give reliable access to the drive, but there is still one (or more) EH reset. The drive works without EH resets with udelay(100). Signed-off-by:

The 80c wire bit is bit 13, not 14. Bit 14 is always 1 if word93 is implemented. This increases the chance of incorrect wire detection especially because host side cable detection is often unreliable and we sometimes soley depend on drive side cable detection. Fix the test and add word93 validity check. Signed-off-by:

This patch updates the sata_promise driver to use new-style libata error handling for 20619 (TX4000) chips. sata_promise already uses new EH for the other chips it supports, so the patch is quite simple: * remove ->phy_reset and ->eng_timeout ops from pdc_pata_ops, and instead bind ->freeze, ->thaw, ->error_handler, and ->post_internal_cmd to existing new EH functions * drop ATA_FLAG_SRST from board_20619's flags * remove now unused pdc_pata_phy_reset() and pdc_eng_timeout() Tested on a TX4000 with both modern working disks and old/quirky disks. Also used a CD-RW drive to test reading and writing CDs. Signed-off-by:

Since the security checks are applied on each read and write of a sysctl file, just like they are applied when calling sys_sysctl, they are redundant on the standard VFS constructs. Since it is difficult to compute the security labels on the standard VFS constructs we just mark the sysctl inodes in proc private so selinux won't even bother with them. Signed-off-by:

Hmmm...turns out to not be quite enough, as the /proc/sys inodes aren't truly private to the fs, so we can run into them in a variety of security hooks beyond just the inode hooks, such as security_file_permission (when reading and writing them via the vfs helpers), security_sb_mount (when mounting other filesystems on directories in proc like binfmt_misc), and deeper within the security module itself (as in flush_unauthorized_files upon inheritance across execve). So I think we have to add an IS_PRIVATE() guard within SELinux, as below. Note however that the use of the private flag here could be confusing, as these inodes are _not_ private to the fs, are exposed to userspace, and security modules must implement the sysctl hook to get any access control over them.

I goofed and when reenabling the fine grained selinux labels for sysctls and forgot to add the "/sys" prefix before consulting the policy database. When computing the same path using proc_dir_entries we got the "/sys" for free as it was part of the tree, but it isn't true for clt_table trees. Signed-off-by:

With this change the sysctl inodes can be cached and nothing needs to be done when removing a sysctl table. For a cost of 2K code we will save about 4K of static tables (when we remove de from ctl_table) and 70K in proc_dir_entries that we will not allocate, or about half that on a 32bit arch. The speed feels about the same, even though we can now cache the sysctl dentries :( We get the core advantage that we don't need to have a 1 to 1 mapping between ctl table entries and proc files. Making it possible to have /proc/sys vary depending on the namespace you are in. The currently merged namespaces don't have an issue here but the network namespace under /proc/sys/net needs to have different directories depending on which network adapters are visible. By simply being a cache different directories being visible depending on who you are is trivial to implement.

The current logic to walk through the list of sysctl table headers is slightly painful and implement in a way it cannot be used by code outside sysctl.c I am in the process of implementing a version of the sysctl proc support that instead of using the proc generic non-caching monster, just uses the existing sysctl data structure as backing store for building the dcache entries and for doing directory reads. To use the existing data structures however I need a way to get at them. [akpm@osdl.org: warning fix] Signed-off-by:
