fbd5a26d50 drm/i915: Rearrange acquisition of mutex during pwrite
... to avoid reacquiring it to drop the object reference count on

202f2fef7a drm/i915: Avoid taking the mutex for dropping the refcnt upon creation
After allocation a handle for the fresh object, we know that we can
safely drop the refcnt without triggering a free so we do not need the
mutex. Strangely, this mutex acquisition is the one that appears on
driver profiles.

2549d6c26c drm/i915: Avoid vmallocing a buffer for the relocations
... perform an access validation check up front instead and copy them in
on-demand, during i915_gem_object_pin_and_relocate(). As around 20% of
the CPU overhead may be spent inside vmalloc for the relocation entries
when submitting an execbuffer [for x11perf -aa10text], the savings are
considerable and result in around a 10% throughput increase [for glyphs].

99231028ff kdb, kms: Save and restore the LUT on atomic KMS enter/exit
When changing VTs non-atomically the kernel works in conjunction with
the Xserver in user space and receives the LUT information from the
Xserver via a system call.  When changing modes atomically for kdb,
this information must be saved and restored without disturbing user
space as if nothing ever happened.

There is a short cut used by this patch where gamma_store is used as
the save space.  If this turns out to be a problem in the future a
pre-allocated chunk of memory will be required for each crtc to save
and restore the LUT information.

aa73aec6c3 ALSA: rawmidi: fix oops (use after free) when unloading a driver module
When a driver module is unloaded and the last still open file is a raw
MIDI device, the card and its devices will be actually freed in the
snd_card_file_remove() call when that file is closed.  Afterwards, rmidi
and rmidi->card point into freed memory, so the module pointer is likely
to be garbage.

  "Sorry, reordering breakage.  In the signals tree here I have

   and it's used all over the place (including quite a few places where
   we currently have sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, set, NULL), which is what
   it's equivalent to).  With that done, m32r doesn't use _BLOCKABLE
   anywhere, so it got removed.  And that chunk got picked when I'd been
   reordering the queue to pull the arch-specific fixes in front.

__u64's on 8 bytes boundaries even on systems which would normally align

being kernel internal.

2010-10-15 10:18:36 -07:00
Ohad Ben-Cohen
1c8cf9c997 mmc: sdio: fix SDIO suspend/resume regression
Fix SDIO suspend/resume regression introduced by 4c2ef25fe0 "mmc: fix
all hangs related to mmc/sd card insert/removal during suspend/resume":

  PM: Syncing filesystems ... done.
  Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.01 seconds) done.
  Freezing remaining freezable tasks ... (elapsed 0.01 seconds) done.
  Suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug)
  pm_op(): platform_pm_suspend+0x0/0x5c returns -38
  PM: Device pxa2xx-mci.0 failed to suspend: error -38
  PM: Some devices failed to suspend

4c2ef25fe0 moved the card removal/insertion mechanism out of MMC's
suspend/resume path and into pm notifiers (mmc_pm_notify), and that
broke SDIO's expectation that mmc_suspend_host() will remove the card,
and squash the error, in case -ENOSYS is returned from the bus suspend
handler (mmc_sdio_suspend() in this case).

mmc_sdio_suspend() is using this whenever at least one of the card's SDIO
function drivers does not have suspend/resume handlers - in that case
it is agreed to force removal of the entire card.

This patch fixes this regression by trivially bringing back that part of
mmc_suspend_host(), which was removed by 4c2ef25fe0.

47526903fe ubd: fix incorrect sector handling during request restart
Commit f81f2f7c (ubd: drop unnecessary rq->sector manipulation)
dropped request->sector manipulation in preparation for global request
handling cleanup; unfortunately, it incorrectly assumed that the
updated sector wasn't being used.

ubd tries to issue as many requests as possible to io_thread.  When
issuing fails due to memory pressure or other reasons, the device is
put on the restart list and issuing stops.  On IO completion, devices
on the restart list are scanned and IO issuing is restarted.

ubd issues IOs sg-by-sg and issuing can be stopped in the middle of a
request, so each device on the restart queue needs to remember where
to restart in its current request.  ubd needs to keep track of the
issue position itself because,

* blk_rq_pos(req) is now updated by the block layer to keep track of
  _completion_ position.

* Multiple io_req's for the current request may be in flight, so it's
  difficult to tell where blk_rq_pos(req) currently is.

Add ubd->rq_pos to keep track of the issue position and use it to
correctly restart io_req issue.

Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit
0eead9ab41 ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the
ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes.

Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything
happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the
bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense.

dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway,
and none of them are in any way performance-critical.  And we really
don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already
are.

0eead9ab41 Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps
akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct
dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes
back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping
code).  Just remove it.

Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write().  It probably doesn't
matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he
points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ...

[ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of
  calling ->write directly.  That also does the whole fsnotify and write
  statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ]

And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation
code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even
compile)
