2006-06-23[PATCH] page migration: sys_move_pages(): support moving of individual pagesChristoph Lameter
move_pages() is used to move individual pages of a process. The function can be used to determine the location of pages and to move them onto the desired node. move_pages() returns status information for each page. long move_pages(pid, number_of_pages_to_move, addresses_of_pages[], nodes[] or NULL, status[], flags); The addresses of pages is an array of void * pointing to the pages to be moved. The nodes array contains the node numbers that the pages should be moved to. If a NULL is passed instead of an array then no pages are moved but the status array is updated. The status request may be used to determine the page state before issuing another move_pages() to move pages. The status array will contain the state of all individual page migration attempts when the function terminates. The status array is only valid if move_pages() completed successfullly. Possible page states in status[]: 0..MAX_NUMNODES The page is now on the indicated node. -ENOENT Page is not present -EACCES Page is mapped by multiple processes and can only be moved if MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified. -EPERM The page has been mlocked by a process/driver and cannot be moved. -EBUSY Page is busy and cannot be moved. Try again later. -EFAULT Invalid address (no VMA or zero page). -ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory on target node. -EIO Unable to write back page. The page must be written back in order to move it since the page is dirty and the filesystem does not provide a migration function that would allow the moving of dirty pages. -EINVAL A dirty page cannot be moved. The filesystem does not provide a migration function and has no ability to write back pages. The flags parameter indicates what types of pages to move: MPOL_MF_MOVE Move pages that are only mapped by the process. MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL Also move pages that are mapped by multiple processes. Requires sufficient capabilities. Possible return codes from move_pages() -ENOENT No pages found that would require moving. All pages are either already on the target node, not present, had an invalid address or could not be moved because they were mapped by multiple processes. -EINVAL Flags other than MPOL_MF_MOVE(_ALL) specified or an attempt to migrate pages in a kernel thread. -EPERM MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL specified without sufficient priviledges. or an attempt to move a process belonging to another user. -EACCES One of the target nodes is not allowed by the current cpuset. -ENODEV One of the target nodes is not online. -ESRCH Process does not exist. -E2BIG Too many pages to move. -ENOMEM Not enough memory to allocate control array. -EFAULT Parameters could not be accessed. A test program for move_pages() may be found with the patches on ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/christoph/pmig/patches-2.6.17-rc4-mm3 From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Detailed results for sys_move_pages() Pass a pointer to an integer to get_new_page() that may be used to indicate where the completion status of a migration operation should be placed.

2006-06-23[PATCH] support for panic at OOMKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
This patch adds panic_on_oom sysctl under sys.vm. When sysctl vm.panic_on_oom = 1, the kernel panics intead of killing rogue processes. And if vm.panic_on_oom is 0 the kernel will do oom_kill() in the same way as it does today. Of course, the default value is 0 and only root can modifies it. In general, oom_killer works well and kill rogue processes. So the whole system can survive. But there are environments where panic is preferable rather than kill some processes.

2006-06-23[PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentryDavid Howells
Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock pointer. This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits the root in the vfsmount to be used instead. linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build successfully. Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

2006-06-23[PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mountDavid Howells
Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint. The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt() which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour). The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the superblock pointer. This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root and mnt_sb would be set directly. The patch also makes the following changes: (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change very little. (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb(). (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon(). This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root, and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in dentries being left unculled. However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries with child trees. [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree. (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

The tuntap driver allows an admin to create persistent devices and assign ownership of them to individual users.

2006-06-22[PATCH] Keys: Fix race between two instantiators of a keyDavid Howells
Add a revocation notification method to the key type and calls it whilst the key's semaphore is still write-locked after setting the revocation flag. The patch then uses this to maintain a reference on the task_struct of the process that calls request_key() for as long as the authorisation key remains unrevoked. This fixes a potential race between two processes both of which have assumed the authority to instantiate a key (one may have forked the other for example). The problem is that there's no locking around the check for revocation of the auth key and the use of the task_struct it points to, nor does the auth key keep a reference on the task_struct. Access to the "context" pointer in the auth key must thenceforth be done with the auth key semaphore held. The revocation method is called with the target key semaphore held write-locked and the search of the context process's keyrings is done with the auth key semaphore read-locked. The check for the revocation state of the auth key just prior to searching it is done after the auth key is read-locked for the search. This ensures that the auth key can't be revoked between the check and the search. The revocation notification method is added so that the context task_struct can be released as soon as instantiation happens rather than waiting for the auth key to be destroyed, thus avoiding the unnecessary pinning of the requesting process.

2006-06-22[ALSA] cmipci - Disable integrated mpu401 as defaultTakashi Iwai
Enable the support of mpu401 PCI port only when mpu_port=1 module option is given, i.e. disabled as default. It turned out that the check of integrated midi port isn't perfect and caused hang-ups on some boards. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

2006-06-22[PATCH] w1: Userspace communication protocol over connector.Evgeniy Polyakov
There are three types of messages between w1 core and userspace: 1. Events. They are generated each time new master or slave device found either due to automatic or requested search. 2. Userspace commands. Includes read/write and search/alarm search comamnds. 3. Replies to userspace commands.

2006-06-22[PATCH] w1: Added default generic read/write operations.Evgeniy Polyakov
Special file in each w1 slave device's directory called "rw" is created each time new slave and no appropriate w1 family is registered. "rw" file supports read and write operations, which allows to perform almost any kind of operations. Each logical operation is a transaction in nature, which can contain several (two or one) low-level operations. Let's see how one can read EEPROM context: 1. one must write control buffer, i.e. buffer containing command byte and two byte address. At this step bus is reset and appropriate device is selected using either W1_SKIP_ROM or W1_MATCH_ROM command. Then provided control buffer is being written to the wire. 2. reading. This will issue reading eeprom response. It is possible that between 1. and 2. w1 master thread will reset bus for searching and slave device will be even removed, but in this case 0xff will be read, since no device was selected.

2006-06-22[PATCH] lm70: New hardware monitoring driverKaiwan N Billimoria
This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM70 temperature sensor. The LM70 temperature sensor chip supports a single temperature sensor. It communicates with a host processor (or microcontroller) via an SPI/Microwire Bus interface. Communication with the LM70 is simple: when the temperature is to be sensed, the driver accesses the LM70 using SPI communication: 16 SCLK cycles comprise the MOSI/MISO loop. At the end of the transfer, the 11-bit 2's complement digital temperature (sent via the SIO line), is available in the driver for interpretation. This driver makes use of the kernel's in-core SPI support.
