2011-01-13Decompressors: check for write errors in decompress_unlzma.cLasse Collin
The return value of wr->flush() is not checked in write_byte(). This means that the decompressor won't stop even if the caller doesn't want more data. This can happen e.g. with corrupt LZMA-compressed initramfs. Returning the error quickly allows the user to see the error message quicker. There is a similar missing check for wr.flush() near the end of unlzma(). Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> Cc: "H.

2011-01-13Decompressors: check for read errors in decompress_unlzma.cLasse Collin
Return value of rc->fill() is checked in rc_read() and error() is called when needed, but then the code continues as if nothing had happened. rc_read() is a void function and it's on the top of performance critical call stacks, so propagating the error code via return values doesn't sound like the best fix. It seems better to check rc->buffer_size (which holds the return value of rc->fill()) in the main loop. It does nothing bad that the code runs a little with unknown data after a failed rc->fill(). This fixes an infinite loop in initramfs decompression if the LZMA-compressed initramfs image is corrupt. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> Cc: "H.

2011-01-13Decompressors: get rid of set_error_fn() macroLasse Collin
set_error_fn() has become a useless complication after c1e7c3ae59 ("bzip2/lzma/gzip: pre-boot malloc doesn't return NULL on failure") fixed the use of error() in malloc(). Only decompress_unlzma.c had some use for it and that was easy to change too. This also gets rid of the static function pointer "error", which should have been marked as __initdata.

2011-01-13cramfs: generate unique inode number for better inode cache usageStefani Seibold
Generate a unique inode numbers for any entries in the cram file system. For files which did not contain data's (device nodes, fifos and sockets) the offset of the directory entry inside the cramfs plus 1 will be used as inode number. The + 1 for the inode will it make possible to distinguish between a file which contains no data and files which has data, the later one has a inode value where the lower two bits are always 0. It also reimplements the behavior to set the size and the number of block to 0 for special file, which is the right value for empty files, devices, fifos and sockets As a little benefit it will be also more compatible which older mkcramfs, because it will never use the cramfs_inode->offset for creating a inode number for special files.

2011-01-13VMware balloon: stop locking pages when hypervisor tells us enoughDmitry Torokhov
When hypervisor decides to decrease target balloon size while the balloon driver tries to lock pages hypervisor may respond with VMW_BALLOON_PPN_NOTNEEDED. Use this data and immediately stop reserving pages and wait for the next update cycle to fetch new target instead of continuing trying to lock pages until size of refused list grows above VMW_BALLOON_MAX_REFUSED (16) pages. As a result the driver stops bothering the hypervisor with its attempts to lock more pages that are not needed anymore. Most likely next order from hypervisor will be to reduce ballon size anyway.

2011-01-13pps: add parallel port PPS clientAlexander Gordeev
Add parallel port PPS client. It uses a standard method for capturing timestamps for assert edge transitions: getting a timestamp soon after an interrupt has happened. This is not a very precise source of time information due to interrupt handling delays. However, timestamps for clear edge transitions are much more precise because the interrupt handler continuously polls hardware port until the transition is done. Hardware port operations require only about 1us so the maximum error should not exceed this value. This was my primary goal when developing this client. Clear edge capture could be disabled using clear_wait parameter.

2011-01-13ntp: add hardpps implementationAlexander Gordeev
This commit adds hardpps() implementation based upon the original one from the NTPv4 reference kernel code from David Mills. However, it is highly optimized towards very fast syncronization and maximum stickness to PPS signal. The typical error is less then a microsecond. To make it sync faster I had to throw away exponential phase filter so that the full phase offset is corrected immediately. Then I also had to throw away median phase filter because it gives a bigger error itself if used without exponential filter. Maybe we will find an appropriate filtering scheme in the future but it's not necessary if the signal quality is ok.

2011-01-13pps: fix race in PPS_FETCH handlerAlexander Gordeev
There was a race in PPS_FETCH ioctl handler when several processes want to obtain PPS data simultaneously using sleeping PPS_FETCH. They all sleep most of the time in the system call. With the old approach when the first process waiting on the pps queue is waken up it makes new system call right away and zeroes pps->go. So other processes continue to sleep. This is a clear race condition because of the global 'go' variable. With the new approach pps->last_ev holds some value increasing at each PPS event. PPS_FETCH ioctl handler saves current value to the local variable at the very beginning so it can safely check that there is a new event by just comparing both variables.

2011-01-13taskstats: use better ifdef for alignmentJeff Mahoney
Commit 4be2c95d ("taskstats: pad taskstats netlink response for aligment issues on ia64") added a null field to align the taskstats structure but the discussion centered around ia64. The issue exists on other platforms with inefficient unaligned access and adding them piecemeal would be an unmaintainable mess. This patch uses Dave Miller's suggestion of using a combination of CONFIG_64BIT && !CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to determine whether alignment is needed. Note that this will cause breakage on those platforms with applications like iotop which had hard-coded offsets into the packet to access the taskstats structure. The message seen on systems without the alignment fixes looks like: kernel unaligned access to 0xe000023879dca9bc, ip=0xa000000100133d10 The addresses may vary but resolve to locations inside __delayacct_add_tsk. iotop makes what I'd call unreasonable assumptions about the contents of a netlink genetlink packet containing generic attributes. They're typed and have headers that specify value lengths, so the client can (should) identify and skip the ones the client doesn't understand. The kernel, as of version 2.6.36, presented a packet like so: +--------------------------------+ | genlmsghdr - 4 bytes | +--------------------------------+ | NLA header - 4 bytes | /* Aggregate header */ +-+------------------------------+ | | NLA header - 4 bytes | /* PID header */ | +------------------------------+ | | pid/tgid - 4 bytes | | +------------------------------+ | | NLA header - 4 bytes | /* stats header */ | + -----------------------------+ <- oops. aligned on 4 byte boundary | | struct taskstats - 328 bytes | +-+------------------------------+ The iotop code expects that the kernel will behave as it did then, assuming that the packet format is set in stone. The format is set in stone, but the packet offsets are not. There's nothing in the packet format that guarantees that the packet will be sent in exactly the same way. The attribute contents are set (or versioned) and the aggregate contents are set but they can be anywhere in the packet. The issue here isn't that an unaligned structure gets passed to userspace, it's that the NLA infrastructure has something of a weakness: The 4 byte attribute header may force the payload to be unaligned. The taskstats structure is created at an unaligned location and then 64-bit values are operated on inside the kernel, so the unaligned access warnings gets spewed everywhere. It's possible to use the unaligned access API to operate on the structure in the kernel but it seems like a wasted effort to work around userspace code that isn't following the packet format. Any new additions would also need the be worked around. It's a maintenance nightmare. The conclusion of the earlier discussion seemed to be "ok fine, if we have to break it, don't break it on arches that don't have the problem." Dave pointed out that the unaligned access problem doesn't only exist on ia64, but also on other 64-bit arches that don't have efficient unaligned access and it should be fixed there as well. The committed version of the patch and this addition keep with the conclusion of that discussion not to break it unnecessarily, which the pid padding and the packet padding fixes did do. x86_64 and powerpc don't suffer this problem so they shouldn't suffer the solution. Other 64-bit architectures do and will, though. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Reported-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Acked-by: David S.

2011-01-13NFC: Driver for NXP Semiconductors PN544 NFC chip.Matti J. Aaltonen
Creates a new "Near Field Communication" subsystem in drivers/nfc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_Field_Communication is useful ;) This is a driver for the pn544 NFC device. The driver transfers ETSI messages between the device and the user space. Signed-off-by: Matti J.

2011-01-13user_ns: improve the user_ns on-the-slab packagingPavel Emelyanov
Currently on 64-bit arch the user_namespace is 2096 and when being kmalloc-ed it resides on a 4k slab wasting 2003 bytes. If we allocate a separate cache for it and reduce the hash size from 128 to 64 chains the packaging becomes *much* better - the struct is 1072 bytes and the hole between is 98 bytes.

2011-01-13rapidio: fix hang on RapidIO doorbell queue full conditionThomas Taranowski
In fsl_rio_dbell_handler() the code currently simply acknowledges the QFI queue full interrupt, but does nothing to resolve the queue full condition. Instead, it jumps to the end of the isr. When a queue full condition occurs, the isr is then re-entered immediately and continually, forever. The fix is to just fall through and read out current doorbell entries.

2011-01-13rapidio: use Component Tag for unified switch identificationAlexandre Bounine
Change the way how switchid value is set. Local counter variable does not provide unified way to identify switch devices in a system with multiple processors. Using local counter leads to the situation when the same RIO switch has different switch ID for each processor. Replacing local counter with unique portion of the Component Tag provides unified reference to the switch by every processor in the system.

2011-01-13rapidio: add definitions of Component Tag fieldsAlexandre Bounine
Add definition of the unique device identifier field in the component tag. RIO_CTAG_UDEVID does not take all 32 bits of the component tag value to allow future extensions to the component tag use. Selected size of the RIO_CTAG_UDEVID field (17 bits) is sufficient to accommodate maximum number of endpoints in large RIO network (16-bit id) plus switches.

2011-01-13rapidio: integrate rio_switch into rio_devAlexandre Bounine
Convert RIO switches device structures (rio_dev + rio_switch) into a single allocation unit. This change is based on the fact that RIO switches are using common RIO device objects anyway. Allocating RIO switch objects as RIO devices with added space for switch information simplifies handling of RIO switch devices.
