[PATCH] noop-iosched: avoid corrupted request merging

Tejun Heo notes:

   "I'm currently debugging this.  The problem is that we are using the
    generic dispatch queue directly in the noop sched and merging is NOT
    allowed on dispatch queues but generic handling of last_merge tries
    to merge requests.  I'm still trying to verify this, so I'll be back
    with results soon."

In the meantime, disable merging for noop by setting REQ_NOMERGE in
elevator_noop_add_request().

Eventually, we should add a noop_list and do the dispatching like in the
other io schedulers.  Merging is still beneficial for noop (and it has
always done it).

[PATCH] hpet: allow shared interrupts

This patch adds support for shared HPET interrupts.

The driver previously acknowledged interrupts for both edge and level
interrupts, but didn't actually allow a shared interrupt in the latter case.

We use a new per-timer flag to save whether the timer's interrupt might be
shared, and use it to do the processing required for level interrupts only if
necessary.

[PATCH] HPET: make frequency calculations 32 bit safe

On 32-bit architectures, the multiplication in the argument for
hpet_time_div() often overflows.  In the typical case of a 14.32 MHz timer,
this happens when the desired frequency exceeds 61 Hz.

To avoid this multiplication, we can precompute and store the hardware
timer frequency, instead of the period, in the device structure, which
leaves us with a simple division when computing the number of timer ticks.

As a side effect, this also removes a theoretical bug where the timer
interpolator's frequency would be computed as a 32-bit value even if the
HPET frequency is greater than 2^32 Hz (the HPET spec allows up to 10 GHz).

19 years ago[PATCH] fix nr_unused accounting, and avoid recursing in iput with I_WILL_FREE set
Andrea Arcangeli [Sun, 30 Oct 2005 23:03:05 +0000 (15:03 -0800)] 
[PATCH] fix nr_unused accounting, and avoid recursing in iput with I_WILL_FREE set

  list_move(&inode->i_list, &inode_in_use);
  } else {
  list_move(&inode->i_list, &inode_unused);
+ inodes_stat.nr_unused++;
  }
  }
  wake_up_inode(inode);

Are you sure the above diff is correct? It was added somewhere between
2.6.5 and 2.6.8. I think it's wrong.

The only way I can imagine the i_count to be zero in the above path, is
that I_WILL_FREE is set.  And if I_WILL_FREE is set, then we must not
increase nr_unused.  So I believe the above change is buggy and it will
definitely overstate the number of unused inodes and it should be backed
out.

Note that __writeback_single_inode before calling __sync_single_inode, can
drop the spinlock and we can have both the dirty and locked bitflags clear
here:

spin_unlock(&inode_lock);
__wait_on_inode(inode);
iput(inode);
XXXXXXX
spin_lock(&inode_lock);
}
use inode again here

a construct like the above makes zero sense from a reference counting
standpoint.

Either we don't ever use the inode again after the iput, or the
inode_lock should be taken _before_ executing the iput (i.e. a __iput
would be required). Taking the inode_lock after iput means the iget was
useless if we keep using the inode after the iput.

So the only chance the 2.6 was safe to call __writeback_single_inode
with the i_count == 0, is that I_WILL_FREE is set (I_WILL_FREE will
prevent the VM to free the inode in XXXXX).

Potentially calling the above iput with I_WILL_FREE was also wrong
because it would recurse in iput_final (the second mainline bug).

The below (untested) patch fixes the nr_unused accounting, avoids recursing
in iput when I_WILL_FREE is set and makes sure (with the BUG_ON) that we
don't corrupt memory and that all holders that don't set I_WILL_FREE, keeps
a reference on the inode!

changes are:

 (1) The key struct now supports a security pointer for the use of security

     programs may access a key.

 (2) Security modules get a chance to note (or abort) the allocation of a key.

 (3) The key permission checking can now be enhanced by the security modules;
     the permissions check consults LSM if all other checks bear out.

 (4) The key permissions checking functions now return an error code rather
     than a boolean value.

 (5) An extra permission has been added to govern the modification of
     attributes (UID, GID, permissions).

Note that there isn't an LSM hook specifically for each keyctl() operation,
but rather the permissions hook allows control of individual operations based
on the permission request bits.

Key management access control through LSM is enabled by automatically if both
CONFIG_KEYS and CONFIG_SECURITY are enabled.
