Rafael J. Wysocki authored
The driver core tries to prevent race conditions between runtime PM and driver removal from happening by incrementing the runtime PM usage counter of the device and executing pm_runtime_barrier() before running the bus notifier and the ->remove() callbacks provided by the device's subsystem or driver. This guarantees that, if a future runtime suspend of the device has been scheduled or a runtime resume or idle request has been queued up right before the driver removal, it will be canceled or waited for to complete and no other asynchronous runtime suspend or idle requests for the device will be put into the PM workqueue until the ->remove() callback returns. However, it doesn't prevent resume requests from being queued up after pm_runtime_barrier() has been called and it doesn't prevent pm_runtime_resume() from executing the device subsystem's runtime resume callback. Morever, it prevents the device's subsystem or driver from putting the device into the suspended state by calling pm_runtime_suspend() from its ->remove() routine. This turns out to be a major inconvenience for some subsystems and drivers that want to leave the devices they handle in the suspended state. To really prevent runtime PM callbacks from racing with the bus notifier callback in __device_release_driver(), which is necessary, because the notifier is used by some subsystems to carry out operations affecting the runtime PM functionality, use pm_runtime_get_sync() instead of the combination of pm_runtime_get_noresume() and pm_runtime_barrier(). This will resume the device if it's in the suspended state and will prevent it from being suspended again until pm_runtime_put_*() is called. To allow subsystems and drivers to put devices into the suspended state by calling pm_runtime_suspend() from their ->remove() routines, execute pm_runtime_put_sync() after running the bus notifier in __device_release_driver(). This will require subsystems and drivers to make their ->remove() callbacks avoid races with runtime PM directly, but it will allow of more flexibility in the handling of devices during the removal of their drivers.

The freezer processes are dealing with multiple threads running simultaneously, and on a UP system, the memory reads/writes do not need barriers to keep things in sync.

The current implementation of suspend-to-RAM returns 0 if there is an error from suspend_enter(), because suspend_devices_and_enter() ignores the return value from suspend_enter(). This patch addresses this issue and properly keep the error return from suspend_enter() and let suspend_devices_and_enter relay the error return.

After that commit, pci_hotplug_io_size is changed to additional_io_size from minium size. So it will not go through resource_size(res) != 0 path, and will not be reset. The root cause is: pci_bridge_check_ranges will set RESOURCE_IO flag for pci bridge, and later if children do not need IO resource. those bridge resources will not need to be allocated. but flags is still there. that will confuse the the pci_enable_bridges later. related code: static void assign_requested_resources_sorted(struct resource_list *head, struct resource_list_x *fail_head) { struct resource *res; struct resource_list *list; int idx; for (list = head->next; list; list = list->next) { res = list->res; idx = res - &list->dev->resource[0]; if (resource_size(res) && pci_assign_resource(list->dev, idx)) { ... reset_resource(res); } } } At last, We have to clear the flags in pbus_size_mem/io when requested size == 0 and !add_head. becasue this case it will not go through adjust_resources_sorted(). Just make size1 = size0 when !add_head. it will make flags get cleared. At the same time when requested size == 0, add_size != 0, will still have in head and add_list. because we do not clear the flags for it. After this, we will get right result: pci 0000:c0:03.0: PCI bridge to [bus c4-c9] pci 0000:c0:03.0: bridge window [io disabled] pci 0000:c0:03.0: bridge window [mem 0xf0000000-0xf00fffff] pci 0000:c0:03.0: bridge window [mem 0xfc180000000-0xfc197ffffff 64bit pref] pci 0000:c0:03.0: enabling bus mastering pci 0000:c0:03.0: setting latency timer to 64 pcieport 0000:c0:03.0: setting latency timer to 64 pcieport 0000:c0:03.0: irq 160 for MSI/MSI-X pcieport 0000:c0:03.0: Signaling PME through PCIe PME interrupt pci 0000:c4:00.0: Signaling PME through PCIe PME interrupt pcie_pme 0000:c0:03.0:pcie01: service driver pcie_pme loaded aer 0000:c0:03.0:pcie02: service driver aer loaded pciehp 0000:c0:03.0:pcie04: Hotplug Controller: v3: more simple fix. also fix one typo in pbus_size_mem Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Ram Pai <linuxram@us.ibm.com> Cc: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org> Cc: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Those reduced to DEBUG can possibly be triggered by unprivileged processes and are nothing exceptional. Illegal checksum combinations can only be caused by driver bug, so promote those messages to WARN. Since GSO without SG will now only cause DEBUG message from netdev_fix_features(), remove the workaround from register_netdevice().

During initialization of vmxnet3, the state of LRO gets out of sync with netdev->features. This leads to very poor TCP performance in a IP forwarding setup and is hitting many VMware users. Simplified call sequence: 1. vmxnet3_declare_features() initializes "adapter->lro" to true. 2. The kernel automatically disables LRO if IP forwarding is enabled, so vmxnet3_set_flags() gets called. This also updates netdev->features. 3. Now vmxnet3_setup_driver_shared() is called. "adapter->lro" is still set to true and LRO gets enabled again, even though netdev->features shows it's disabled. Fix it by updating "adapter->lro", too. The private vmxnet3 adapter flags are scheduled for removal in net-next, see commit a0d2730c "net: vmxnet3: convert to hw_features". Patch applies to 2.6.37 / 2.6.38 and 2.6.39-rc6. Please CC: comments.

Commit 747df225 ('sfc: Always map MCDI shared memory as uncacheable') introduced a separate mapping for the MCDI shared memory (MC_TREG_SMEM). This means we can no longer easily include it in the register dump. Since it is not particularly useful in debugging, substitute a recognisable dummy value.

We need to hold the dev->mode_config.mutex whilst detecting the output status. But we also need to drop it for the call into drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe(), which indirectly acquires the lock when attaching the fbcon. Failure to do so exposes a race with normal output probing. Detected by adding some warnings that the mutex is held to the backend detect routines: [ 17.772456] WARNING: at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_crt.c:471 intel_crt_detect+0x3e/0x373 [i915]() [ 17.772458] Hardware name: Latitude E6400 [ 17.772460] Modules linked in: ....

If the requested device is already active, ignore the request. This restores the original behaviour of the interface. The change was probably an unintended side effect of commit 66b37c67 vga_switcheroo: split switching into two stages which did not take into account to duplicate the !active check in the split-off stage2. Fix this by factoring that check out of stage1 into the debugfs_write routine.

FS_COW_FL and FS_NOCOW_FL were newly introduced to control per file COW in btrfs, but FS_NOCOW_FL is sufficient. The fact is we don't have corresponding BTRFS_INODE_COW flag. COW is default, and FS_NOCOW_FL can be used to switch off COW for a single file. If we mount btrfs with nodatacow, a newly created file will be set with the FS_NOCOW_FL flag. So to turn on COW for it, we can just clear the FS_NOCOW_FL flag. Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

When a btrfs disk is created by mixed data & metadata option, it will have no pure data or pure metadata space info. In btrfs's for-linus branch, commit 78b1ea13838039cd88afdd62519b40b344d6c920 (Btrfs: fix OOPS of empty filesystem after balance) initializes space infos at the very beginning. The problem is this initialization does not take the mixed case into account, which will cause btrfs will easily get into ENOSPC in mixed case.

Shame on me! Commit b1dea800 "tmpfs: fix race between umount and writepage" fixed the advertized race, but introduced another: as even its comment makes clear, we cannot safely rely on a peek at list_empty() while holding no lock - until info->swapped is set, shmem_unuse_inode() may delete any formerly-swapped inode from the shmem_swaplist, which in this case would leave a swap area impossible to swapoff. Although I don't relish taking the mutex every time, I don't care much for the alternatives either; and at least the peek at list_empty() in shmem_evict_inode() (a hotter path since most inodes would never have been swapped) remains safe, because we already truncated the whole file.

This moves the if (num_registered_fb == FB_MAX) return -ENXIO; check _AFTER_ the call to do_remove_conflicting_framebuffers() as this would (now in a safe way) allow a native driver to replace the conflicting one even if all slots in registered_fb[] are taken. This also prevents unregistering a framebuffer that is no longer registered (vga16f will unregister at module unload time even if the frame buffer had been unregistered earlier due to being found conflicting).

When a register_framebuffer() call results in us removing old conflicting framebuffers, the new registration_lock doesn't protect that situation. And we can't just add the same locking to the function, because these functions call each other: register_framebuffer() calls remove_conflicting_framebuffers, which in turn calls unregister_framebuffer for any conflicting entry. In order to fix it, this just creates wrapper functions around all three functions and makes the versions that actually do the work be called "do_xxx()", leaving just the wrapper that gets the lock and calls the worker function. So the rule becomes simply that "do_xxxx()" has to be called with the lock held, and now do_register_framebuffer() can just call do_remove_conflicting_framebuffers(), and that in turn can call _do_unregister_framebuffer(), and there is no deadlock, and we can hold the registration lock over the whole sequence, fixing the races. It also makes error cases simpler, and fixes one situation where we would return from unregister_framebuffer() without releasing the lock, pointed out by Bruno Prémont.

The rbd driver currently splits bios when they span an object boundary. However, the blk_end_request expects the completions to roll up the results in block device order, and the split rbd/ceph ops can complete in any order. This patch adds a struct rbd_req_coll to track completion of split requests and ensures that the results are passed back up to the block layer in order. This fixes errors where the file system gets completion of a read operation that spans an object boundary before the data has actually arrived. The bug is easily reproduced with iozone with a working set larger than available RAM.
