This is the counterpart to cba76717 ("pktcdvd: remove broken dev_t export of class devices"). Device is not registered using dev_t, so it should not be destroyed using device_destroy which looks up the device by dev_t. This will fail and adding the device again will fail with the "duplicate name" error. This is fixed using device_unregister instead of device_destroy. Signed-off-by:

The probe function passes a pointer to a struct fb_info to platform_set_drvdata(), so don't interpret the return value of platform_get_drvdata() as a pointer to struct imxfb_info. The original imxfb_info *fbi backlight_power was NULL but in imxfb_suspend it was 4 resulting in an oops as imxfb_suspend calls imxfb_disable_controller(fbi) which in turn has if (fbi->backlight_power) fbi->backlight_power(0); Signed-off-by:

The cache alias problem will happen if the changes of user shared mapping is not flushed before copying, then user and kernel mapping may be mapped into two different cache line, it is impossible to guarantee the coherence after iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic. So the right steps should be: flush_dcache_page(page); kmap_atomic(page); write to page; kunmap_atomic(page); flush_dcache_page(page); More precisely, we might create two new APIs flush_dcache_user_page and flush_dcache_kern_page to replace the two flush_dcache_page accordingly. Here is a snippet tested on omap2430 with VIPT cache, and I think it is not ARM-specific: int val = 0x11111111; fd = open("abc", O_RDWR); addr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); *(addr+0) = 0x44444444; tmp = *(addr+0); *(addr+1) = 0x77777777; write(fd, &val, sizeof(int)); close(fd); The results are not always 0x11111111 0x77777777 at the beginning as expected. Sometimes we see 0x44444444 0x77777777.

Eric Paris located a bug in idr. With IDR_BITS of 6, it grows to three layers when id 4096 is first allocated. When that happens, idr wraps incorrectly and searches the idr array ignoring the high bits. The following test code from Eric demonstrates the bug nicely. #include <linux/idr.h> #include <linux/kernel.h> #include <linux/module.h> static DEFINE_IDR(test_idr); int init_module(void) { int ret, forty95, forty96; void *addr; /* add 2 entries both with 4095 as the start address */ again1: if (!idr_pre_get(&test_idr, GFP_KERNEL)) return -ENOMEM; ret = idr_get_new_above(&test_idr, (void *)4095, 4095, &forty95); if (ret) { if (ret == -EAGAIN) goto again1; return ret; } if (forty95 != 4095) printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, forty95=%d\n", forty95); again2: if (!idr_pre_get(&test_idr, GFP_KERNEL)) return -ENOMEM; ret = idr_get_new_above(&test_idr, (void *)4096, 4095, &forty96); if (ret) { if (ret == -EAGAIN) goto again2; return ret; } if (forty96 != 4096) printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, forty96=%d\n", forty96); /* try to find the 2 entries, noticing that 4096 broke */ addr = idr_find(&test_idr, forty95); if ((int)addr != forty95) printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, after find forty95=%d addr=%d\n", forty95, (int)addr); addr = idr_find(&test_idr, forty96); if ((int)addr != forty96) printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, after find forty96=%d addr=%d\n", forty96, (int)addr); /* really weird, the entry which should be at 4096 is actually at 0!! */ addr = idr_find(&test_idr, 0); if ((int)addr) printk(KERN_ERR "found an entry at id=0 for addr=%d\n", (int)addr); idr_remove(&test_idr, forty95); idr_remove(&test_idr, forty96); return 0; } void cleanup_module(void) { } MODULE_AUTHOR("Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>"); MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Simple idr test"); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); This happens because when sub_alloc() back tracks it doesn't always do it step-by-step while the over-the-limit detection assumes step-by-step backtracking. The logic in sub_alloc() looks like the following. restart: clear pa[top level + 1] for end cond detection l = top level while (true) { search for empty slot at this level if (not found) { push id to the next possible value l++ A: if (pa[l] is clear) failed, return asking caller to grow the tree if (going up 1 level gives more slots to search) continue the while loop above with the incremented l else C: goto restart } adjust id accordingly to the found slot if (l == 0) return found id; create lower level if not there yet record pa[l] and l-- } Test A is the fail exit condition but this assumes that failure is propagated upwared one level at a time but the B optimization path breaks the assumption and restarts the whole thing with a start value which is above the possible limit with the current layers. sub_alloc() assumes the start id value is inside the limit when called and test A is the only exit condition check, so it ends up searching for empty slot while ignoring high set bit. So, for 4095->4096 test, level0 search fails but pa[1] contains a valid pointer. However, going up 1 level wouldn't give any more empty slot so it takes C and when the whole thing restarts nobody notices the high bit set beyond the top level. This patch fixes the bug by changing the fail exit condition check to full id limit check.

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about (un)registered events from connector. Another option was to check credentials on receiving, but we can always restore it without bugs if needed, but genetlink has a wider code base and none complained, that userspace can not get notification when some other clients were (un)registered.

Improve handling of fragmented per-CPU vmaps. We previously don't free up per-CPU maps until all its addresses have been used and freed. So fragmented blocks could fill up vmalloc space even if they actually had no active vmap regions within them. Add some logic to allow all CPUs to have these blocks purged in the case of failure to allocate a new vm area, and also put some logic to trim such blocks of a current CPU if we hit them in the allocation path (so as to avoid a large build up of them). Christoph reported some vmap allocation failures when using the per CPU vmap APIs in XFS, which cannot be reproduced after this patch and the previous bug fix.

RCU list walking of the per-cpu vmap cache was broken. It did not use RCU primitives, and also the union of free_list and rcu_head is obviously wrong (because free_list is indeed the list we are RCU walking). While we are there, remove a couple of unused fields from an earlier iteration. These APIs aren't actually used anywhere, because of problems with the XFS conversion. Christoph has now verified that the problems are solved with these patches. Also it is an exported interface, so I think it will be good to be merged now (and Christoph wants to get the XFS changes into their local tree).

Commit 221af7f8 ("Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions") split the function at the point of no return - ie right where there were no more error cases to check. That made sense from a technical standpoint, but when we then also combined it with the actual personality setting going in between flush_old_exec() and setup_new_exec(), it needs to be a bit more careful. In particular, we need to make sure that we really flush the old personality bits in the 'flush' stage, rather than later in the 'setup' stage, since otherwise we might be flushing the _new_ personality state that we're just setting up. So this moves the flags and personality flushing (and 'flush_thread()', which is the arch-specific function that generally resets lazy FP state etc) of the old process into flush_old_exec(), so that it doesn't affect any state that execve() is setting up for the new process environment. This was reported by Michal Simek as breaking his Microblaze qemu environment. Reported-and-tested-by:

Few weeks back, Shaohua Li had posted similar patch. I am reposting it with more test results. This patch does two things. - Do not idle on async queues. - It also changes the write queue depth CFQ drives (cfq_may_dispatch()). Currently, we seem to driving queue depth of 1 always for WRITES. This is true even if there is only one write queue in the system and all the logic of infinite queue depth in case of single busy queue as well as slowly increasing queue depth based on last delayed sync request does not seem to be kicking in at all. This patch will allow deeper WRITE queue depths (subjected to the other WRITE queue depth contstraints like cfq_quantum and last delayed sync request). Shaohua Li had reported getting more out of his SSD. For me, I have got one Lun exported from an HP EVA and when pure buffered writes are on, I can get more out of the system. Following are test results of pure buffered writes (with end_fsync=1) with vanilla and patched kernel. These results are average of 3 sets of run with increasing number of threads. AVERAGE[bufwfs][vanilla] ------- job Set NR ReadBW(KB/s) MaxClat(us) WriteBW(KB/s) MaxClat(us) --- --- -- ------------ ----------- ------------- ----------- bufwfs 3 1 0 0 95349 474141 bufwfs 3 2 0 0 100282 806926 bufwfs 3 4 0 0 109989 2.7301e+06 bufwfs 3 8 0 0 116642 3762231 bufwfs 3 16 0 0 118230 6902970 AVERAGE[bufwfs] [patched kernel] ------- bufwfs 3 1 0 0 270722 404352 bufwfs 3 2 0 0 206770 1.06552e+06 bufwfs 3 4 0 0 195277 1.62283e+06 bufwfs 3 8 0 0 260960 2.62979e+06 bufwfs 3 16 0 0 299260 1.70731e+06 I also ran buffered writes along with some sequential reads and some buffered reads going on in the system on a SATA disk because the potential risk could be that we should not be driving queue depth higher in presence of sync IO going to keep the max clat low. With some random and sequential reads going on in the system on one SATA disk I did not see any significant increase in max clat. So it looks like other WRITE queue depth control logic is doing its job. Here are the results.
