2005-11-10[ARM] 3140/1: NSLU2 machine supportAlessandro Zummo
Patch from Alessandro Zummo This patch adds support for the LinkSys NSLU2 running with both big and little-endian kernels. The LinkSys NSLU2 is a cost engineered ARM, XScale 420 based system similar to the the Intel IXDP425 evaluation board. It uses the IXP4XX ARCH. While this patch applies independently of other patches the resultant kernel requires further patches to successfully use onboard devices, including the onboard flash. Since these patches are independent of this one they will be submitted separately. A defconfig is not included here because not all of the required drivers are actually in the kernel. We intend to provide one as soon as the patches will be incorporated in mainstream.

2005-11-10[PATCH] powerpc: Consolidate asm compatibility macrosDavid Gibson
This patch consolidates macros used to generate assembly for compatibility across different CPUs or configs. A new header, asm-powerpc/asm-compat.h contains the main compatibility macros. It uses some preprocessor magic to make the macros suitable both for use in .S files, and in inline asm in .c files. Headers (bitops.h, uaccess.h, atomic.h, bug.h) which had their own such compatibility macros are changed to use asm-compat.h. ppc_asm.h is now for use in .S files *only*, and a #error enforces that. As such, we're a lot more careless about namespace pollution here than in asm-compat.h. While we're at it, this patch adds a call to the PPC405_ERR77 macro in futex.h which should have had it already, but didn't. Built and booted on pSeries, Maple and iSeries (ARCH=powerpc). Built for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc). Signed-off-by: David Gibson <dwg@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-11-10[PATCH] powerpc: Merge cacheflush.h and cache.hDavid Gibson
The ppc32 and ppc64 versions of cacheflush.h were almost identical. The two versions of cache.h are fairly similar, except for a bunch of register definitions in the ppc32 version which probably belong better elsewhere. This patch, therefore, merges both headers. Notable points: - there are several functions in cacheflush.h which exist only on ppc32 or only on ppc64. These are handled by #ifdef for now, but these should probably be consolidated, along with the actual code behind them later. - Confusingly, both ppc32 and ppc64 have a flush_dcache_range(), but they're subtly different: it uses dcbf on ppc32 and dcbst on ppc64, ppc64 has a flush_inval_dcache_range() which uses dcbf. These too should be merged and consolidated later. - Also flush_dcache_range() was defined in cacheflush.h on ppc64, and in cache.h on ppc32. In the merged version it's in cacheflush.h - On ppc32 flush_icache_range() is a normal function from misc.S. On ppc64, it was wrapper, testing a feature bit before calling __flush_icache_range() which does the actual flush. This patch takes the ppc64 approach, which amounts to no change on ppc32, since CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE will never be set there, but does mean renaming flush_icache_range() to __flush_icache_range() in arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S and arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S - The PReP register info from asm-ppc/cache.h has moved to arch/ppc/platforms/prep_setup.c - The 8xx register info from asm-ppc/cache.h has moved to a new asm-powerpc/reg_8xx.h, included from reg.h - flush_dcache_all() was defined on ppc32 (only), but was never called (although it was exported). Thus this patch removes it from cacheflush.h and from ARCH=powerpc (misc_32.S) entirely. It's left in ARCH=ppc for now, with the prototype moved to ppc_ksyms.c.

2005-11-10[NETLINK]: Generic netlink familyThomas Graf
The generic netlink family builds on top of netlink and provides simplifies access for the less demanding netlink users. It solves the problem of protocol numbers running out by introducing a so called controller taking care of id management and name resolving. Generic netlink modules register themself after filling out their id card (struct genl_family), after successful registration the modules are able to register callbacks to command numbers by filling out a struct genl_ops and calling genl_register_op(). The registered callbacks are invoked with attributes parsed making life of simple modules a lot easier. Although generic netlink modules can request static identifiers, it is recommended to use GENL_ID_GENERATE and to let the controller assign a unique identifier to the module. Userspace applications will then ask the controller and lookup the idenfier by the module name. Due to the current multicast implementation of netlink, the number of generic netlink modules is restricted to 1024 to avoid wasting memory for the per socket multiacst subscription bitmask.

2005-11-10[NETLINK]: Generic netlink receive queue processorThomas Graf
Introduces netlink_run_queue() to handle the receive queue of a netlink socket in a generic way. Processes as much as there was in the queue upon entry and invokes a callback function for each netlink message found. The callback function may refuse a message by returning a negative error code but setting the error pointer to 0 in which case netlink_run_queue() will return with a qlen != 0.

2005-11-10[NETLINK]: Type-safe netlink messages/attributes interfaceThomas Graf
Introduces a new type-safe interface for netlink message and attributes handling. The interface is fully binary compatible with the old interface towards userspace. Besides type safety, this interface features attribute validation capabilities, simplified message contstruction, and documentation. The resulting netlink code should be smaller, less error prone and easier to understand. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-11-09[NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem.Yasuyuki Kozakai
The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only handle ipv4. There were basically two choices present to add connection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol (TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written. In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3 protocol. The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6, which is also cured here. For example, these issues include: 1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP messages 2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag" (which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply isn't feasible in ipv6 3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking design 4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will fully kill it off 6 months later.

2005-11-10[PATCH] ppc64: PCI error event dispatcherLinas Vepstas
12-eeh-event-dispatcher.patch ppc64: EEH Recovery dispatcher thread This patch adds a mechanism to create recovery threads when an EEH event is received. Since an EEH freeze state may be detected within an interrupt context, we need to get out of the interrupt context before starting recovery. This dispatcher does this in two steps: first, it uses a workqueue to get out, and then lanuches a kernel thread, so that the recovery routine can sleep for exteded periods without upseting the keventd. A kernel thread is created with each EEH event, rather than having one long-running daemon started at boot time. This is because it is anticipated that EEH events will be very rare (very very rare, ideally) and so its pointless to cluter the process tables with a daemon that will almost never run.

2005-11-09[PATCH] md: support BIO_RW_BARRIER for md/raid1NeilBrown
We can only accept BARRIER requests if all slaves handle barriers, and that can, of course, change with time.... So we keep track of whether the whole array seems safe for barriers, and also whether each individual rdev handles barriers. We initially assumes barriers are OK. When writing the superblock we try a barrier, and if that fails, we flag things for no-barriers. This will usually clear the flags fairly quickly. If writing the superblock finds that BIO_RW_BARRIER is -ENOTSUPP, we need to resubmit, so introduce function "md_super_wait" which waits for requests to finish, and retries ENOTSUPP requests without the barrier flag. When writing the real raid1, write requests which were BIO_RW_BARRIER but which aresn't supported need to be retried. So raid1d is enhanced to do this, and when any bio write completes (i.e. no retry needed) we remove it from the r1bio, so that devices needing retry are easy to find. We should hardly ever get -ENOTSUPP errors when writing data to the raid. It should only happen if: 1/ the device used to support BARRIER, but now doesn't. Few devices change like this, though raid1 can! or 2/ the array has no persistent superblock, so there was no opportunity to pre-test for barriers when writing the superblock.
