2007-10-17nfs: remove congestion_end()Peter Zijlstra3-17/+1
These patches aim to improve balance_dirty_pages() and directly address three issues: 1) inter device starvation 2) stacked device deadlocks 3) inter process starvation 1 and 2 are a direct result from removing the global dirty limit and using per device dirty limits. By giving each device its own dirty limit is will no longer starve another device, and the cyclic dependancy on the dirty limit is broken. In order to efficiently distribute the dirty limit across the independant devices a floating proportion is used, this will allocate a share of the total limit proportional to the device's recent activity. 3 is done by also scaling the dirty limit proportional to the current task's recent dirty rate. This patch: nfs: remove congestion_end(). It's redundant, clear_bdi_congested() already wakes the waiters.

2007-10-17powerpc: add Altivec/VMX state to coredumpsMark Nelson3-3/+34
Update dump_task_altivec() (which has so far never been put to use) so that it dumps the Altivec/VMX registers (VR[0] - VR[31], VSCR and VRSAVE) in the same format as the ptrace get_vrregs(), and add the appropriate glue typedef and #defines to make it work. A new note type of NT_PPC_VMX was chosen to be 0x100 (arbitrarily) because it allows the low range values to be used for more generic purposes and 0x100 seems an adequate starting point for PowerPC extensions.

2007-10-17x86: replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE #defineMark Nelson5-8/+11
Replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE in the coredump code which allows for more flexibility in the note type for the state of 'extended floating point' implementations in coredumps. New note types can now be added with an appropriate #define. This does #define ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE to be NT_PRXFPREG in all current users so there's are no change in behaviour. This will let us use different note types on powerpc for the Altivec/VMX state that some PowerPC cpus have (G4, PPC970, POWER6) and for the SPE (signal processing extension) state that some embedded PowerPC cpus from Freescale have.

2007-10-17partially fix up the lookup_one_noperm messChristoph Hellwig3-26/+39
Try to fix the mess created by sysfs braindamage. - refactor code internal to fs/namei.c a little to avoid too much duplication: o __lookup_hash_kern is renamed back to __lookup_hash o the old __lookup_hash goes away, permission checks moves to the two callers o useless inline qualifiers on above functions go away - lookup_one_len_kern loses it's last argument and is renamed to lookup_one_noperm to make it's useage a little more clear - added kerneldoc comments to describe lookup_one_len aswell as lookup_one_noperm and make it very clear that no one should use the latter ever.

This gives use a standardized output similar to the rest of the kernel, and eliminates the need to manually print out PCI bus id. * use DRV_NAME constant where appropriate * clean struct pci_driver indentation Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

2007-10-17SELinux: improve performance when AVC misses.KaiGai Kohei4-237/+303
* We add ebitmap_for_each_positive_bit() which enables to walk on any positive bit on the given ebitmap, to improve its performance using common bit-operations defined in linux/bitops.h. In the previous version, this logic was implemented using a combination of ebitmap_for_each_bit() and ebitmap_node_get_bit(), but is was worse in performance aspect. This logic is most frequestly used to compute a new AVC entry, so this patch can improve SELinux performance when AVC misses are happen. * struct ebitmap_node is redefined as an array of "unsigned long", to get suitable for using find_next_bit() which is fasted than iteration of shift and logical operation, and to maximize memory usage allocated from general purpose slab. * Any ebitmap_for_each_bit() are repleced by the new implementation in ss/service.c and ss/mls.c. Some of related implementation are changed, however, there is no incompatibility with the previous version. * The width of any new line are less or equal than 80-chars. The following benchmark shows the effect of this patch, when we access many files which have different security context one after another. The number is more than /selinux/avc/cache_threshold, so any access always causes AVC misses. selinux-2.6 selinux-2.6-ebitmap AVG: 22.763 [s] 8.750 [s] STD: 0.265 0.019 ------------------------------------------ 1st: 22.558 [s] 8.786 [s] 2nd: 22.458 [s] 8.750 [s] 3rd: 22.478 [s] 8.754 [s] 4th: 22.724 [s] 8.745 [s] 5th: 22.918 [s] 8.748 [s] 6th: 22.905 [s] 8.764 [s] 7th: 23.238 [s] 8.726 [s] 8th: 22.822 [s] 8.729 [s] Signed-off-by: KaiGai Kohei <kaigai@ak.jp.nec.com> Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

Allow policy to select, in much the same way as it selects MLS support, how the kernel should handle access decisions which contain either unknown classes or unknown permissions in known classes. The three choices for the policy flags are 0 - Deny unknown security access. (default) 2 - reject loading policy if it does not contain all definitions 4 - allow unknown security access The policy's choice is exported through 2 booleans in selinuxfs. /selinux/deny_unknown and /selinux/reject_unknown.

2007-10-17firewire: fw-ohci: enforce read order for selfID generationStefan Richter1-0/+3
It seems unlikely, but access to self_id_cpu[0] could at least in theory be deferred until after the loop over self_id_cpu[1..n] or even after the subsequent reg_read. Enforce the desired order by a read barrier. Also prevent the reg_read from being reordered relative to the for loop. This isn't necessary if the loop's conditional printk counts as an implicit barrier, but better make it explicit. (self_id_cpu[] is a coherent DMA buffer.)

2007-10-17firewire: fw-sbp2: use an own workqueue (fix system responsiveness)Stefan Richter1-4/+13
Firewire-sbp2 did very uncooperative things in the kernel's shared workqueue: Sleeping until reception of management status from the target for up to 2 seconds, and performing SCSI inquiry and all of the setup of SCSI command set drivers via scsi_add_device. If there were transient or permanent error conditions, this caused long blockage of the kernel's events process, noticeable e.g. by blocked keyboard input. We now allocate a workqueue process exclusive to fw-sbp2. As a side effect, this also increases parallelism of fw-sbp2's login and reconnect work versus fw-core's device discovery and device update work which is performed in the shared workqueue.

2007-10-17firewire: fw-sbp2: expose module parameter for workaroundsStefan Richter1-12/+54
On rare occasions, the ability to set one of the workaround flags at runtime may save the day. People who experience I/O errors with firewire-sbp2 while the old sbp2 driver worked for them should try workarounds=1 and report to the devel mailinglist whether that improves things. Firewire-sbp2 defaults to the SCSI stack's maximum transfer size per command, while sbp2 limits them to 128 kBytes. Flag 1 accomplishes just that.
