include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

[NET] netconsole: Support dynamic reconfiguration using configfs
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing
and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a
userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated
accordingly.
Issues and brief design overview:
(1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not
possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed
exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module
params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be
setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the
lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created
via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the
boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here
and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed
through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed
dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting
complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support
kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.
(2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to
create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at
the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various
attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus,
netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
_this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables
the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this
effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.
(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.
(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,
that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure.
netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to
be used from netconsole.

[NET] netconsole: Support dynamic reconfiguration using configfs
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing
and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a
userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated
accordingly.
Issues and brief design overview:
(1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not
possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed
exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module
params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be
setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the
lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created
via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the
boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here
and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed
through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed
dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting
complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support
kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.
(2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to
create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at
the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various
attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus,
netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
_this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables
the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this
effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.
(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.
(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,
that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure.
netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to
be used from netconsole.

mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to
create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at
the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various
attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus,
netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
_this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables
the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this
effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.
(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.
(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,
that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure.
netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to
be used from netconsole.

[NET] netconsole: Support dynamic reconfiguration using configfs
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing
and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a
userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated
accordingly.
Issues and brief design overview:
(1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not
possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed
exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module
params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be
setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the
lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created
via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the
boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here
and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed
through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed
dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting
complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support
kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.
(2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to
create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at
the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various
attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus,
netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
_this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables
the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this
effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.
(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.
(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,

we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at
the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various
attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus,
netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
_this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables
the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this
effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.
(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.
(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,
that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure.
netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to
be used from netconsole.

[NET] netconsole: Support dynamic reconfiguration using configfs

This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing
and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a
userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated
accordingly.
Issues and brief design overview:
(1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not
possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed
exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module
params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be
setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the
lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created
via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the
boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here
and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed
through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed
dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting
complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support
kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.
(2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to
create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence

[NET] netconsole: Support dynamic reconfiguration using configfs
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing
and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a
userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated
accordingly.
Issues and brief design overview:
(1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not
possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed
exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module
params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be
setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the
lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created
via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the
boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here
and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed
through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed
dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting
complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support
kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.
(2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to
create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at
the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various
attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus,
netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
_this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables
the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this
effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.
(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.
(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,
that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure.
netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to
be used from netconsole.

[NET] netconsole: Support dynamic reconfiguration using configfs
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing
and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a
userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated
accordingly.
Issues and brief design overview:
(1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not
possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed
exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module
params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be
setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the
lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created
via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the
boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here
and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed
through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed
dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting
complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support
kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.
(2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to
create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at
the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various
attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus,
netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
_this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables
the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this
effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.
(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.
(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,
that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure.
netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to
be used from netconsole.

kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.
(2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to
create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at
the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various
attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus,
netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
_this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables
the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this
effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.
(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.
(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,
that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure.
netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to
be used from netconsole.

[NET] netconsole: Support dynamic reconfiguration using configfs
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing
and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a
userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated
accordingly.
Issues and brief design overview:
(1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not
possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed
exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module
params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be
setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the
lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created
via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the
boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here
and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed
through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed
dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting
complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support
kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.
(2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to
create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at
the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various
attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus,
netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
_this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables
the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this
effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.
(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.
(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,

and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a
userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated
accordingly.
Issues and brief design overview:
(1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not
possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed
exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module
params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be
setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the
lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created
via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the
boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here
and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed
through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed
dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting
complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support
kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.
(2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to
create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at
the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various
attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus,
netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
_this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables
the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this
effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.
(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.
(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,
that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure.
netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to
be used from netconsole.
