Alan Stern e041c68341 [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2

We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:

	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;

	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.

We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.

With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)

There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)

Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.

Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

  ATOMIC CHAINS
  -------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain

  BLOCKING CHAINS
  ---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain

drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.

The fw_realloc_buffer routine does not handle an increase in buffer size of

as much memory as is requested, instead of what we previously had + 4k.

I've tested this on my laptop, which would crash occaisionally on boot

Zhang, Yanmin 69dcc99199 [PATCH] Export cpu topology in sysfs
The patch implements cpu topology exportation by sysfs.

Items (attributes) are similar to /proc/cpuinfo.

1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/physical_package_id:
	represent the physical package id of  cpu X;
2) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_id:
	represent the cpu core id to cpu X;
3) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings:
	represent the thread siblings to cpu X in the same core;
4) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings:
	represent the thread siblings to cpu X in the same physical package;

To implement it in an architecture-neutral way, a new source file,
driver/base/topology.c, is to export the 5 attributes.

If one architecture wants to support this feature, it just needs to
implement 4 defines, typically in file include/asm-XXX/topology.h.
The 4 defines are:
#define topology_physical_package_id(cpu)
#define topology_core_id(cpu)
#define topology_thread_siblings(cpu)
#define topology_core_siblings(cpu)

The type of **_id is int.
The type of siblings is cpumask_t.

To be consistent on all architectures, the 4 attributes should have
deafult values if their values are unavailable. Below is the rule.

1) physical_package_id: If cpu has no physical package id, -1 is the
default value.

2) core_id: If cpu doesn't support multi-core, its core id is 0.

3) thread_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support
HT/multi-thread.

4) core_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support
multi-core and HT/Multi-thread.

So be careful when declaring the 4 defines in include/asm-XXX/topology.h.

If an attribute isn't defined on an architecture, it won't be exported.

Thank Nathan, Greg, Andi, Paul and Venki.

The patch provides defines for i386/x86_64/ia64.

Michael Richardson 9c08a938ce [PATCH] device_shutdown can loop if the driver frees itself
This patch changes device_shutdown() to use the newly introduced safe
reverse list traversal.  We experienced loops on system reboot if we had
removed and re-inserted our device from the device list.

We noticed this problem on PPC405. Our PCI IDE device comes and goes a lot.

Our hypothesis was that there was a loop caused by the driver->shutdown
freeing memory.  It is possible that we do something wrong as well, but
being unable to reboot is kind of nasty.

There are cases in which a device's memory mapped registers overlap
with another device's memory mapped registers.  On several PowerPC
devices this occurs for the MDIO bus, whose registers tended to overlap
with one of the ethernet controllers.

Alan Stern bf74ad5bc4 [PATCH] Hold the device's parent's lock during probe and remove
This patch (as604) makes the driver core hold a device's parent's lock
as well as the device's lock during calls to the probe and remove
methods in a driver.  This facility is needed by USB device drivers,
owing to the peculiar way USB devices work:

	A device provides multiple interfaces, and drivers are bound
	to interfaces rather than to devices;

	Nevertheless a reset, reset-configuration, suspend, or resume
	affects the entire device and requires the caller to hold the
	lock for the device, not just a lock for one of the interfaces.

Since a USB driver's probe method is always called with the interface
lock held, the locking order rules (always lock parent before child)
prevent these methods from acquiring the device lock.  The solution
provided here is to call all probe and remove methods, for all devices
(not just USB), with the parent lock already acquired.

Although currently only the USB subsystem requires these changes, people
have mentioned in prior discussion that the overhead of acquiring an
extra semaphore in all the prove/remove sequences is not overly large.

Up to now, the USB core has been using its own set of private
semaphores.  A followup patch will remove them, relying entirely on the
device semaphores provided by the driver core.

The code paths affected by this patch are:

	device_add and device_del: The USB core already holds the parent
	lock, so no actual change is needed.

	driver_register and driver_unregister: The driver core will now
	lock both the parent and the device before probing or removing.

	driver_bind and driver_unbind (in sysfs): These routines will
	now lock both the parent and the device before binding or
	unbinding.

	bus_rescan_devices: The helper routine will lock the parent
	before probing a device.

I have not tested this patch for conflicts with other subsystems.  As
far as I can see, the only possibility of conflict would lie in the
bus_rescan_devices pathway, and it seems pretty remote.  Nevertheless,
it would be good for this to get a lot of testing in -mm.

Russell King 00d3dcdd96 [DRIVER MODEL] Add platform_driver
Introduce struct platform_driver.  This allows the platform device
driver methods to be passed a platform_device structure instead of
instead of a plain device structure, and therefore requiring casting
in every platform driver.

We introduce this in such a way that any existing platform drivers
registered directly via driver_register continue to work as before,
thereby allowing a gradual conversion to the new platform_driver
methods.

Russell King 37c12e7497 [DRIVER MODEL] Improved dynamically allocated platform_device interface
Re-jig the simple platform device support to allow private data
to be attached to a platform device, as well as allowing the
parent device to be set.

Example usage:

	pdev = platform_device_alloc("mydev", id);
	if (pdev) {
		err = platform_device_add_resources(pdev, &resources,
						    ARRAY_SIZE(resources));
		if (err == 0)
			err = platform_device_add_data(pdev, &platform_data,
						       sizeof(platform_data));
		if (err == 0)
			err = platform_device_add(pdev);
	} else {
		err = -ENOMEM;
	}
	if (err)
		platform_device_put(pdev);

Manual #include fixups for clashes - there may be some unnecessary
2005-10-31 07:32:56 -08:00
Tim Schmielau 4e57b68178 [PATCH] fix missing includes
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.

In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch.  This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other.  So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it.  My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

Ashok Raj ad74557a49 [PATCH] introduce get_cpu_sysdev() to retrieve a sysfs entry for a cpu.
Some modules creating sysfs entries under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/
need to know the parent sysfs entry to make devices under them.  This will
just return the sysfs entry for a given cpu.

sysfs entries showing under each cpu sysfs can be easily created if such
entries can be created by registering a sysfs driver for cpuclass.  The
issue is when the entry is created the CPU may not be online, hence we
would need to defer the creation until the online notification comes.

Current users: cache entries for Intel CPU's and cpufreq subsystem.

This basically keeps up from having to extern __kmalloc_section_memmap().

The vaddr_in_vmalloc_area() helper could go in a vmalloc header, but that
header gets hard to work with, because it needs some arch-specific macros.
Just stick it in here for now, instead of creating another header.

David Brownell 979d5199fe [PATCH] root hub changes (lesser half)
This patch collects various small updates related to root hubs, to shrink
later patches which build on them.

  - For root hub suspend/resume support:
     * Make the existing usb_hcd_resume_root_hub() routine respect pmcore
       locking, exporting and using the dpm_runtime_resume() method.
     * Add a new usb_hcd_suspend_root_hub() to pair with that routine.
       (Essential to make OHCI autosuspend behave again...)
     * HC_SUSPENDED by itself only refers to the root hub's downstream ports.
       So let HCDs see root hub URBs unless the parent device is suspended.

  - Remove an assertion we no longer need (and now, also don't want).

  - Generic suspend/resume updates to work better with swsusp.
     * Ignore the FREEZE vs SUSPEND distinction for hardware; trying to
       use it breaks the swsusp snapshots it's supposed to help (sigh).
     * On resume, mark devices as resumed right away, but then
       do nothing else if the device is marked NOTATTACHED.

These changes shouldn't be very noticable by themselves.

David Brownell e9b7bd4ee7 [PATCH] one less word in struct device
This saves a word from "struct device" ... there's a refcounting mechanism
stub that's rather ineffective (the values are never even tested!), which
can safely be deleted.  With this patch it uses normal device refcounting,
so any potential users of the pm_parent mechanism will be more correct.
(That mechanism is actually unusable for now though; it does nothing.)
