Paul Mundt 20c2df83d2 mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f22 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

Davide Libenzi d47de16c72 fix epoll single pass code and add wait-exclusive flag
Fixes the epoll single pass code.  During the unlocked event delivery (to
userspace) code, the poll callback can re-issue new events, and we must
receive them correctly.  Since we loop in a lockless fashion, we want to be
O(nready), and we don't want to flash on/off the spinlock for every event, we
have the poll callback to use a secondary list to queue events while we're
inside the event delivery loop.  The rw_semaphore has been turned into a
mutex.  This patch also adds the wait-exclusive flag, as suggested by Davi
Arnaut.

Pavel Emelianov b5e618181a Introduce a handy list_first_entry macro
There are many places in the kernel where the construction like

   foo = list_entry(head->next, struct foo_struct, list);

are used.
The code might look more descriptive and neat if using the macro

   list_first_entry(head, type, member) \
             list_entry((head)->next, type, member)

Here is the macro itself and the examples of its usage in the generic code.
 If it will turn out to be useful, I can prepare the set of patches to
inject in into arch-specific code, drivers, networking, etc.

Davide Libenzi 6192bd536f epoll: optimizations and cleanups
Epoll is doing multiple passes over the ready set at the moment, because of
the constraints over the f_op->poll() call.  Looking at the code again, I
noticed that we already hold the epoll semaphore in read, and this
(together with other locking conditions that hold while doing an
epoll_wait()) can lead to a smarter way [1] to "ship" events to userspace
(in a single pass).

This is a stress application that can be used to test the new code.  It
spwans multiple thread and call epoll_wait() and epoll_ctl() from many
threads.  Stress tested on my dual Opteron 254 w/out any problems.

http://www.xmailserver.org/totalmess.c

This is not a benchmark, just something that tries to stress and exploit
possible problems with the new code.
Also, I made a stupid micro-benchmark:

http://www.xmailserver.org/epwbench.c

[1] Considering that epoll must be thread-safe, there are five ways we can
    be hit during an epoll_wait() transfer loop (ep_send_events()):

    1) The epoll fd going away and calling ep_free
       This just can't happen, since we did an fget() in sys_epoll_wait

    2) An epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL)
       This can't happen because epoll_ctl() gets ep->sem in write, and
       we're holding it in read during ep_send_events()

    3) An fd stored inside the epoll fd going away
       This can't happen because in eventpoll_release_file() we get
       ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during
       ep_send_events()

    4) Another epoll_wait() happening on another thread
       They both can be inside ep_send_events() at the same time, we get
       (splice) the ready-list under the spinlock, so each one will get
       its own ready list. Note that an fd cannot be at the same time
       inside more than one ready list, because ep_poll_callback() will
       not re-queue it if it sees it already linked:

       if (ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink))
                goto is_linked;

       Another case that can happen, is two concurrent epoll_wait(),
       coming in with a userspace event buffer of size, say, ten.
       Suppose there are 50 event ready in the list. The first
       epoll_wait() will "steal" the whole list, while the second, seeing
       no events, will go to sleep. But at the end of ep_send_events() in
       the first epoll_wait(), we will re-inject surplus ready fds, and we
       will trigger the proper wake_up to the second epoll_wait().

    5) ep_poll_callback() hitting us asyncronously
       This is the tricky part. As I said above, the ep_is_linked() test
       done inside ep_poll_callback(), will guarantee us that until the
       item will result linked to a list, ep_poll_callback() will not try
       to re-queue it again (read, write data on any of its members). When
       we do a list_del() in ep_send_events(), the item will still satisfy
       the ep_is_linked() test (whatever data is written in prev/next,
       it'll never be its own pointer), so ep_poll_callback() will still
       leave us alone. It's only after the eventual smp_mb()+INIT_LIST_HEAD(&epi->rdllink)
       that it'll become visible to ep_poll_callback(), but at the point
       we're already past it.

Davide Libenzi b611967de4 [PATCH] epoll_pwait()
Implement the epoll_pwait system call, that extend the event wait mechanism
with the same logic ppoll and pselect do.  The definition of epoll_pwait
is:

int epoll_pwait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents,
                 int timeout, const sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sigsetsize);

The difference between the vanilla epoll_wait and epoll_pwait is that the
latter allows the caller to specify a signal mask to be set while waiting
for events.  Hence epoll_pwait will wait until either one monitored event,
or an unmasked signal happen.  If sigmask is NULL, the epoll_pwait system
call will act exactly like epoll_wait.  For the POSIX definition of
pselect, information is available here:

Davide Libenzi 3419b23a91 [PATCH] epoll: use unlocked wqueue operations
A few days ago Arjan signaled a lockdep red flag on epoll locks, and
precisely between the epoll's device structure lock (->lock) and the wait
queue head lock (->lock).

Like I explained in another email, and directly to Arjan, this can't happen
in reality because of the explicit check at eventpoll.c:592, that does not
allow to drop an epoll fd inside the same epoll fd.  Since lockdep is
working on per-structure locks, it will never be able to know of policies
enforced in other parts of the code.

It was decided time ago of having the ability to drop epoll fds inside
other epoll fds, that triggers a very trick wakeup operations (due to
possibly reentrant callback-driven wakeups) handled by the
ep_poll_safewake() function.  While looking again at the code though, I
noticed that all the operations done on the epoll's main structure wait
queue head (->wq) are already protected by the epoll lock (->lock), so that
locked-style functions can be used to manipulate the ->wq member.  This
makes both a lock-acquire save, and lockdep happy.

Running totalmess on my dual opteron for a while did not reveal any problem
so far:

David Howells 454e2398be [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount
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.

Davide Libenzi f348d70a32 [PATCH] POLLRDHUP/EPOLLRDHUP handling for half-closed devices notifications
Implement the half-closed devices notifiation, by adding a new POLLRDHUP
(and its alias EPOLLRDHUP) bit to the existing poll/select sets.  Since the
existing POLLHUP handling, that does not report correctly half-closed
devices, was feared to be changed, this implementation leaves the current
POLLHUP reporting unchanged and simply add a new bit that is set in the few
places where it makes sense.  The same thing was discussed and conceptually
agreed quite some time ago:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/12/116

Since this new event bit is added to the existing Linux poll infrastruture,
even the existing poll/select system calls will be able to use it.  As far
as the existing POLLHUP handling, the patch leaves it as is.  The
pollrdhup-2.6.16.rc5-0.10.diff defines the POLLRDHUP for all the existing
archs and sets the bit in the six relevant files.  The other attached diff
is the simple change required to sys/epoll.h to add the EPOLLRDHUP
definition.

There is "a stupid program" to test POLLRDHUP delivery here:

 http://www.xmailserver.org/pollrdhup-test.c

It tests poll(2), but since the delivery is same epoll(2) will work equally.

Semaphore to mutex conversion.

automatically via a script as well.

Davide Libenzi 53d2be79d5 [PATCH] epoll: fix delayed initialization bug
Al found a potential problem in epoll_create(), where the
file->private_data member was set after fd_install().  This is obviously
wrong since another thread might do a close() on that fd# before we set the
file->private_data member.  This goes over 2.6.13 and passes a few basic
tests I've done here.

(akpm: snuck in a kzalloc() cleanup too)

removing slab allocator wrappers and converting macros to static inline
functions.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
