Add common inbound memory mapping/unmapping interface. This allows to make local memory space accessible from the RapidIO side using hardware mapping capabilities of RapidIO bridging devices. The new interface is intended to enable data transfers between RapidIO devices in combination with DMA engine support.

Fix multicast packet transmit logic to account for repetitive transmission of single skb: - correct check for available buffers (this bug may produce NULL pointer crash dump in case of heavy traffic); - update skb user count (incorrect user counter causes a warning dump from net_tx_action routine during multicast transfers in systems with three or more rionet participants).

proc_get_inode() obtains the inode via a call to iget_locked(). iget_locked() calls alloc_inode() which will call proc_alloc_inode() which clears proc_inode.fd, so there is no need to clear this field in proc_get_inode(). If iget_locked() instead found the inode via find_inode_fast(), that inode will not have I_NEW set so this change has no effect.

Existing PRSTATUS note contains only si_signo, si_code, si_errno fields from the siginfo of the signal which caused core to be dumped. There are tools which try to analyze crashes for possible security implications, and they want to use, among other data, si_addr field from the SIGSEGV. This patch adds a new elf note, NT_SIGINFO, which contains the complete siginfo_t of the signal which killed the process.

This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note. Make the location of compat_siginfo_t uniform across eight architectures which have it. Now it can be pulled in by including asm/compat.h or linux/compat.h. Most of the copies are verbatim. compat_uid[32]_t had to be replaced by __compat_uid[32]_t. compat_uptr_t had to be moved up before compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already had it moved up). compat_sigval_t had to be relocated from linux/compat.h to asm/compat.h.

Some coredump handlers want to create a core file in a way compatible with standard behavior. Standard behavior with fs.suid_dumpable = 2 is to create core file with uid=gid=0. However, there was no way for coredump handler to know that the process being dumped was suid'ed. This patch adds the new %d specifier for format_corename() which simply reports __get_dumpable(mm->flags), this is compatible with /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable we already have.

Adds an expert Kconfig option, CONFIG_COREDUMP, which allows disabling of core dump. This saves approximately 2.6k in the compiled kernel, and complements CONFIG_ELF_CORE, which now depends on it. CONFIG_COREDUMP also disables coredump-related sysctls, except for suid_dumpable and related functions, which are necessary for ptrace.

The original model of device_cgroup is having a whitelist where all the allowed devices are listed. The problem with this approach is that is impossible to have the case of allowing everything but few devices. The reason for that lies in the way the whitelist is handled internally: since there's only a whitelist, the "all devices" entry would have to be removed and replaced by the entire list of possible devices but the ones that are being denied. Since dev_t is 32 bits long, representing the allowed devices as a bitfield is not memory efficient. This patch replaces the "whitelist" by a "exceptions" list and the default policy is kept as "deny_all" variable in dev_cgroup structure. The current interface determines that whenever "a" is written to devices.allow or devices.deny, the entry masking all devices will be added or removed, respectively. This behavior is kept and it's what will determine the default policy: # cat devices.list a *:* rwm # echo a >devices.deny # cat devices.list # echo a >devices.allow # cat devices.list a *:* rwm The interface is also preserved. For example, if one wants to block only access to /dev/null: # ls -l /dev/null crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jul 24 16:17 /dev/null # echo a >devices.allow # echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.deny # cat /dev/null cat: /dev/null: Operation not permitted # echo >/dev/null bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted # echo "c 1:3 r" >devices.allow # cat /dev/null # echo >/dev/null bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted # echo "c 1:3 rw" >devices.allow # echo >/dev/null # cat /dev/null # mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted # echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.allow # echo >/dev/null # cat /dev/null # mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 # Note that I didn't rename the functions/variables in this patch, but in the next one to make reviewing easier.

A section with the name "Example" (case-insensitive) has a special meaning to kernel-doc. These sections are output using mono-type fonts. However, leading whitespace is stripped, thus robbing a lot of meaning from this, as indented code examples will be mangled. This patch preserves the leading whitespace for "Example" sections. More accurately, it preserves it for all sections, but removes it later if the section isn't an "Example" section.

Maintain an index of directory inodes by starting cluster, so that fat_get_parent() can return the proper cached inode rather than inventing one that cannot be traced back to the filesystem root. Add a new msdos/vfat binary mount option "nfs" so that FAT filesystems that are _not_ exported via NFS are not saddled with maintenance of an index they will never use. Finally, simplify NFS file handle generation and lookups. An ext2-congruent implementation is adequate for FAT needs. Signed-off-by: Steven J.

Under memory pressure, the system may evict dentries from cache. When the FAT driver receives a NFS request involving an evicted dentry, it is unable to reconnect it to the filesystem root. This causes the request to fail, often with ENOENT. This is partially due to ineffectiveness of the current FAT NFS implementation, and partially due to an unimplemented fh_to_parent method. The latter can cause file accesses to fail on shares exported with subtree_check. This patch set provides the FAT driver with the ability to reconnect dentries. NFS file handle generation and lookups are simplified and made congruent with ext2. Testing has involved a memory-starved virtual machine running 3.5-rc5 that exports a ~2 GB vfat filesystem containing a kernel tree (~770 MB, ~40000 files, 9 levels). Both 'cp -r' and 'ls -lR' operations were performed from a client, some overlapping, some consecutive. Exports with 'subtree_check' and 'no_subtree_check' have been tested. Note that while this patch set improves FAT's NFS support, it does not eliminate ESTALE errors completely. The following should be considered for NFS clients who are sensitive to ESTALE: * Mounting with lookupcache=none Unfortunately this can degrade performance severely, particularly for deep filesystems. * Incorporating VFS patches to retry ESTALE failures on the client-side, such as https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/29/381 * Handling ESTALE errors in client application code This patch: Move NFS-related code into its own C file.
