18 years agospeedtch: "extended reach"

speedtch: "extended reach"

The speedtouch modem setup code was reverse engineered many years
ago from a prehistoric windows driver. Less ancient windows drivers,
even those from a few years ago, perform extra initialization steps
which this patch adds to the linux driver.  David Woodhouse observed
that this initialization along with the firmware bin/sachu3/zzzlp2.eni
from the driver at
http://www.speedtouch.co.uk/downloads/330/301/UK3012%20Extended.zip
improves line sync speeds by about 20%.  He provided the original
patch, which I've modified to use symbolic names (BMaxDSL, ModemMode,
ModemOption) rather than magic numbers.  These names may not seem like
much of an improvement (after all, what is "ModemOption" exactly?),
but they do have one big advantage: they are the names used in the
windows registry.  I've made them available as module parameters.
Thanks are due to Aurelio Arroyo, who noticed the relationship
between these magic numbers and the entries in Phonebook.ini.

[PATCH] ISDN: fix drivers, by handling errors thrown by ->readstat()

This is a particularly ugly on-failure bug, possibly security, since the
lack of error handling here is covering up another class of bug: failure to
handle copy_to_user() return values.

The I4L API function ->readstat() returns an integer, and by looking at
several existing driver implementations, it is clear that a negative return
value was meant to indicate an error.

Given that several drivers already return a negative value indicating an
errno-style error, the current code would blindly accept that [negative]
value as a valid amount of bytes read.  Obvious damage ensues.

Correcting ->readstat() handling to properly notice errors fixes the
existing code to work correctly on error, and enables future patches to
more easily indicate errors during operation.

[PATCH] Convert cpu hotplug notifiers to use raw_notifier instead of blocking_notifier

The use of blocking notifier by _cpu_up and _cpu_down in cpu.c has two
problem.

1/ An interaction with the workqueue notifier causes lockdep to spit a
   warning.

2/ A notifier could conceivable be added or removed while _cpu_up or
   _cpu_down are in process.  As each notifier is called twice (prepare
   then commit/abort) this could be unhealthy.

To fix to we simply take cpu_add_remove_lock while adding or removing
notifiers to/from the list.

This makes the 'blocking' usage unnecessary as all accesses to cpu_chain
are now protected by cpu_add_remove_lock.  So change "blocking" to "raw" in
all relevant places.  This fixes 1.

lockd has a test for 'sm_sticky' and avoid the unmonitor call if it is set,
but it is currently not set.

If a client creates a file using an open which sets the mode to 000, or if a
chmod changes permissions after a file is opened, then situations may arise
where an NFS client knows that some IO is permitted (because a process holds
the file open), but the NFS server does not (because it doesn't know about the
open, and only sees that the IO conflicts with the current mode of the file).

As a hack to solve this problem, NFS servers normally allow the owner to
override permissions on IO.  The client can still enforce correct
permissions-checking on open by performing an explicit access check.

In NFSv4 the client can rely on the explicit on-the-wire open instead of an
access check.

Therefore we should not be allowing the owner to override permissions on an
over-the-wire open!

However, we should still allow the owner to override permissions in the case
where the client is claiming an open that it already made either before a
reboot, or while it was holding a delegation.

[PATCH] fuse: fix handling of moved directory

Fuse considered it an error (EIO) if lookup returned a directory inode, to
which a dentry already refered.  This is because directory aliases are not
allowed.

But in a network filesystem this could happen legitimately, if a directory is
moved on a remote client.  This patch attempts to relax the restriction by
trying to first evict the offending alias from the cache.  If this fails, it
still returns an error (EBUSY).

A rarer situation is if an mkdir races with an indenpendent lookup, which
finds the newly created directory already moved.  In this situation the mkdir
should return success, but that would be incorrect, since the dentry cannot be
instantiated, so return EBUSY.

Previously checking for a directory alias and instantiation of the dentry
weren't done atomically in lookup/mkdir, hence two such calls racing with each
other could create aliased directories.  To prevent this introduce a new
per-connection mutex: fuse_conn->inst_mutex, which is taken for instantiations
with a directory inode.

Fuse didn't always call i_size_write() with i_mutex held which caused rare
hangs on SMP/32bit.  This bug has been present since fuse-2.2, well before
being merged into mainline.

The simplest solution is to protect i_size_write() with the per-connection
spinlock.  Using i_mutex for this purpose would require some restructuring of
the code and I'm not even sure it's always safe to acquire i_mutex in all
places i_size needs to be set.

Since most of vmtruncate is already duplicated for other reasons, duplicate
the remaining part as well, making all i_size_write() calls internal to fuse.

Using i_size_write() was unnecessary in fuse_init_inode(), since this function
is only called on a newly created locked inode.

David M. Grimes [Tue, 17 Oct 2006 07:09:45 +0000 (00:09 -0700)] 
[PATCH] knfsd: add nfs-export support to tmpfs

We need to encode a decode the 'file' part of a handle.  We simply use the
inode number and generation number to construct the filehandle.

The generation number is the time when the file was created.  As inode numbers
cycle through the full 32 bits before being reused, there is no real chance of
the same inum being allocated to different files in the same second so this is
suitably unique.  Using time-of-day rather than e.g.  jiffies makes it less
likely that the same filehandle can be created after a reboot.

In order to be able to decode a filehandle we need to be able to lookup by
inum, which means that the inode needs to be added to the inode hash table
(tmpfs doesn't currently hash inodes as there is never a need to lookup by
inum).  To avoid overhead when not exporting, we only hash an inode when it is
first exported.  This requires a lock to ensure it isn't hashed twice.

This code is separate from the patch posted in June06 from Atal Shargorodsky
which provided the same functionality, but does borrow slightly from it.

Locking comment: Most filesystems that hash their inodes do so at the point
where the 'struct inode' is initialised, and that has suitable locking
(I_NEW).  Here in shmem, we are hashing the inode later, the first time we
need an NFS file handle for it.  We no longer have I_NEW to ensure only one
thread tries to add it to the hash table.

[PATCH] posix-cpu-timers: prevent signal delivery starvation

The integer divisions in the timer accounting code can round the result
down to 0.  Adding 0 is without effect and the signal delivery stops.

Clamp the division result to minimum 1 to avoid this.

Problem was reported by Seongbae Park <spark@google.com>, who provided
also an inital patch.

Roland sayeth:

  I have had some more time to think about the problem, and to reproduce it
  using Toyo's test case.  For the record, if my understanding of the problem
  is correct, this happens only in one very particular case.  First, the
  expiry time has to be so soon that in cputime_t units (usually 1s/HZ ticks)
  it's < nthreads so the division yields zero.  Second, it only affects each
  thread that is so new that its CPU time accumulation is zero so now+0 is
  still zero and ->it_*_expires winds up staying zero.  For the VIRT and PROF
  clocks when cputime_t is tick granularity (or the SCHED clock on
  configurations where sched_clock's value only advances on clock ticks), this
  is not hard to arrange with new threads starting up and blocking before they
  accumulate a whole tick of CPU time.  That's what happens in Toyo's test
  case.

  Note that in general it is fine for that division to round down to zero,
  and set each thread's expiry time to its "now" time.  The problem only
  arises with thread's whose "now" value is still zero, so that now+0 winds up
  0 and is interpreted as "not set" instead of ">= now".  So it would be a
  sufficient and more precise fix to just use max(ticks, 1) inside the loop
  when setting each it_*_expires value.

  But, it does no harm to round the division up to one and always advance
  every thread's expiry time.  If the thread didn't already fire timers for
  the expiry time of "now", there is no expectation that it will do so before
  the next tick anyway.  So I followed Thomas's patch in lifting the max out
  of the loops.

  This patch also covers the reload cases, which are harder to write a test
  for (and I didn't try).  I've tested it with Toyo's case and it fixes that.

However, since the PIT may no longer be present, we have to properly handle
the cases where SMP systems have TSC skew and fall back from the TSC.
Since the PIT isn't there, it would "fall back" to the TSC again.  So this
changes the jiffies rating to 1, and the TSC-bad rating value to 0.

Thus you will get the following behavior priority on i386 systems:

hpet [if present]

In general, lockdep warnings are intended to be non-fatal, so I have put in
various practical limits on internal data structure failure modes.  We haven't
had a /single/ lockdep-internal crash ever since lockdep went upstream [the
unwinder crashes are outside of lockdep], and that's largely due to the good
internal checks it does.

Recursion within the dependency graph is currently limited to 20, that's
probably not enough on some many-CPU boxes - this patch doubles it to 40.  I
have written the lockdep functions to have as small stackframes as possible,
so 40 should be OK too.  (The practical recursion limit should be somewhere
between 100 and 200 entries.  If we hit that then I'll change the algorithm to
be iteration-based.  Graph walking logic is so easy to program via recursion,
