This driver supports host initiated backup of the guest. On Windows guests, the host can generate application consistent backups using the Windows VSS framework. On Linux, we ensure that the backup will be file system consistent. This driver allows the host to initiate a "Freeze" operation on all the mounted file systems in the guest. Once the mounted file systems in the guest are frozen, the host snapshots the guest's file systems. Once this is done, the guest's file systems are "thawed". This driver has a user-level component (daemon) that invokes the appropriate operation on all the mounted file systems in response to the requests from the host. The duration for which the guest is frozen is very short - a few seconds. During this interval, the diff disk is comitted. In this version of the patch I have addressed the feedback from Olaf Herring. Also, some of the connector related issues have been fixed. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

Properly cleanup the channel state on receipt of the "offer rescind" message. Starting with ws2012, the host requires that the channel "relid" be properly cleaned up when the offer is rescinded.

Implement the memory hot-add functionality. With this, Linux guests can fully participate in the Dynamic Memory protocol implemented in the Windows hosts. In this version of the patch, based Olaf Herring's feedback, I have gotten rid of the module level dependency on MEMORY_HOTPLUG. Instead the code within the driver that depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG has the appropriate compilation switches. This would allow this driver to support pure ballooning in cases where the kernel does not support memory hotplug. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

The balloon driver is stateful. For instance, it needs to keep track of pages that have been ballooned out to properly post pressure reports. This state cannot be re-constructed if the driver were to be unloaded and subsequently loaded. Furthermore, as we support memory hot-add as part of this driver, this driver becomes even more stateful and this state cannot be re-created. Make the balloon driver unloadable to deal with this issue. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

Execute the hot-add operation in a separate work context. This allows us to decouple the pressure reporting activity from the "hot-add" activity.

Tomas Hozza authored
Previously HyperV daemon set sockaddr_nl.nl_groups to CN_KVP_IDX. Netlink documentation says: "nl_groups is a bit mask with every bit representing a netlink group number". Since CN_KVP_IDX value is "9" HyperV daemon was receiving Netlink messages also from group number "1" which is used by CGroup Rules Engine Daemon. This caused the daemon to segfault (at least on 2.6.32 kernel). HyperV daemon should set nl_groups to zero and specify multicast group CN_KVP_IDX only by using socket options.

There is a more complete atmel patch-series out by Nick Dyer that fixes this and other things, but in the meantime this is the minimal thing to get the touchscreen going on (at least my) Pixel Chromebook. Not that I want my dirty fingers near that beautiful screen, but it seems that a non-initialized touchscreen will also end up being a constant wakeup source, so you have to disable it to go to sleep. And it's easier to just fix the initialization sequence. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Update proc_ns_follow_link to use nd_jump_link instead of just manually updating nd.path.dentry. This fixes the BUG_ON(nd->inode != parent->d_inode) reported by Dave Jones and reproduced trivially with mkdir /proc/self/ns/uts/a. Sigh it looks like the VFS change to require use of nd_jump_link happend while proc_ns_follow_link was baking and since the common case of proc_ns_follow_link continued to work without problems the need for making this change was overlooked.

This same driver can be used by atmel based touchscreens and touchpads (buttonpads). Platform data may specify a device is a touchpad using the is_tp flag. This will cause the driver to perform some touchpad specific initializations, such as: * register input device name "Atmel maXTouch Touchpad" instead of Touchscreen. * register BTN_LEFT & BTN_TOOL_* event types. * register axis resolution (as a fixed constant, for now) * register BUTTONPAD property * process GPIO buttons using reportid T19 Input event GPIO mapping is done by the platform data key_map array. key_map[x] should contain the KEY or BTN code to send when processing GPIOx from T19. To specify a GPIO as not an input source, populate with KEY_RESERVED, or 0.

idr_find(), idr_remove() and idr_replace() used to silently ignore the sign bit and perform lookup with the rest of the bits. The weird behavior has been changed such that negative IDs are treated as invalid. As the behavior change was subtle, WARN_ON_ONCE() was added in the hope of determining who's calling idr functions with negative IDs so that they can be examined for problems. Up until now, all two reported cases are ID number coming directly from userland and getting fed into idr_find() and the warnings seem to cause more problems than being helpful. Drop the WARN_ON_ONCE()s.
