EFI on some machines, e.g., Intel Tiger, reports that the VGA framebuffer
supports WB access. ioremap() prefers WB when possible, so it can work
when mapping main memory.
But it doesn't make sense to map a framebuffer WB, because the driver
doesn't flush explicitly, so updates won't make it to the device
immediately.
This is due to Zou Nan hai <nanhai.zou@intel.com>.
More extensive fix that adds a "size" argument coming soon.

This patch fixes arch_local_page_offset(pfn,nid) in arm.
This new one (added by unify_pfn_to_page patches) is obviously buggy.
This macro calculate page offset in a node.
Note: about LOCAL_MAP_NR()
comment in arm's sub-archs says...
/*
* Given a kaddr, LOCAL_MAP_NR finds the owning node of the memory
* and returns the index corresponding to the appropriate page in the

*/
but LOCAL_MAP_NR() is designed to be able to take both paddr and kaddr.
In this case, paddr is better.

Patch from Pavel Pisa
This patch adds support of i.MX/MX1 SD/MMC controller.
It has been significantly redesigned from the original Sascha Hauer's
version to support scatter-gather DMA, to conform to latest Pierre Ossman's
and Russell King's MMC-SD Linux 2.6.x infrastructure.
The handling of all events has been moved to the softirq context
and is designed with no busy-looping in mind. Unfortunately
some controller bugs has to be overcome by limited looping
about 2-20 usec but these are observed only for initial card
recognition phase.
There are still some missing/missed IRQs problems under heavy load.
Help of somebody with access to the full SDHC design information
is probably necessary.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
This patch adds support for the I/O coherent cache available on the
xsc3. The approach is to provide a simple API to determine whether the
chipset supports coherency by calling arch_is_coherent() and then
setting the appropriate system memory PTE and PMD bits. In addition,
we call this API on dma_alloc_coherent() and dma_map_single() calls.
A generic version exists that will compile out all the coherency-related
code that is not needed on the majority of ARM systems.
Note that we do not check for coherency in the dma_alloc_writecombine()
function as that still requires a special PTE setting. We also don't
touch dma_mmap_coherent() as that is a special ARM-only API that is by
definition only used on non-coherent system.

Backlight class attributes are currently easy to implement incorrectly.
Moving certain handling into the backlight core prevents this whilst at the
same time makes the drivers simpler and consistent. The following changes are
included:
The brightness attribute only sets and reads the brightness variable in the
backlight_properties structure.
The power attribute only sets and reads the power variable in the
backlight_properties structure.
Any framebuffer blanking events change a variable fb_blank in the
backlight_properties structure.
The backlight driver has only two functions to implement. One function is
called when any of the above properties change (to update the backlight
brightness), the second is called to return the current backlight brightness
value. A new attribute "actual_brightness" is added to return this brightness
as determined by the driver having combined all the above factors (and any
driver/device specific factors).
Additionally, the backlight core takes care of checking the maximum brightness
is not exceeded and of turning off the backlight before device removal.
The corgi backlight driver is updated to reflect these changes.

Simplifies the code, reduces the need for 4 pid hash tables, and makes the
code more capable.
In the discussions I had with Oleg it was felt that to a large extent the
cleanup itself justified the work. With struct pid being dynamically
allocated meant we could create the hash table entry when the pid was
allocated and free the hash table entry when the pid was freed. Instead of
playing with the hash lists when ever a process would attach or detach to a
process.
For myself the fact that it gave what my previous task_ref patch gave for free
with simpler code was a big win. The problem is that if you hold a reference
to struct task_struct you lock in 10K of low memory. If you do that in a user
controllable way like /proc does, with an unprivileged but hostile user space
application with typical resource limits of 1000 fds and 100 processes I can
trigger the OOM killer by consuming all of low memory with task structs, on a
machine wight 1GB of low memory.
If I instead hold a reference to struct pid which holds a pointer to my
task_struct, I don't suffer from that problem because struct pid is 2 orders
of magnitude smaller. In fact struct pid is small enough that most other
kernel data structures dwarf it, so simply limiting the number of referring
data structures is enough to prevent exhaustion of low memory.
This splits the current struct pid into two structures, struct pid and struct
pid_link, and reduces our number of hash tables from PIDTYPE_MAX to just one.
struct pid_link is the per process linkage into the hash tables and lives in
struct task_struct. struct pid is given an indepedent lifetime, and holds
pointers to each of the pid types.
The independent life of struct pid simplifies attach_pid, and detach_pid,
because we are always manipulating the list of pids and not the hash table.
In addition in giving struct pid an indpendent life it makes the concept much
more powerful.
Kernel data structures can now embed a struct pid * instead of a pid_t and
not suffer from pid wrap around problems or from keeping unnecessarily
large amounts of memory allocated.

A big problem with rcu protected data structures that are also reference
counted is that you must jump through several hoops to increase the reference
count. I think someone finally implemented atomic_inc_not_zero(&count) to
automate the common case. Unfortunately this means you must special case the
rcu access case.
When data structures are only visible via rcu in a manner that is not
determined by the reference count on the object (i.e. tasks are visible until
their zombies are reaped) there is a much simpler technique we can employ.
Simply delaying the decrement of the reference count until the rcu interval is
over.
What that means is that the proc code that looks up a task and later
wants to sleep can now do:
rcu_read_lock();
task = find_task_by_pid(some_pid);
if (task) {
get_task_struct(task);
}
rcu_read_unlock();
The effect on the rest of the kernel is that put_task_struct becomes cheaper
and immediate, and in the case where the task has been reaped it frees the
task immediate instead of unnecessarily waiting an until the rcu interval is
over.
Cleanup of task_struct does not happen when its reference count drops to
zero, instead cleanup happens when release_task is called. Tasks can only
be looked up via rcu before release_task is called. All rcu protected
members of task_struct are freed by release_task.
Therefore we can move call_rcu from put_task_struct into release_task. And
we can modify release_task to not immediately release the reference count
but instead have it call put_task_struct from the function it gives to
call_rcu.
The end result:
- get_task_struct is safe in an rcu context where we have just looked
up the task.
- put_task_struct() simplifies into its old pre rcu self.
This reorganization also makes put_task_struct uncallable from modules as

Currently, count_active_tasks() calls both nr_running() &
nr_interruptible(). Each of these functions does a "for_each_cpu" & reads
values from the runqueue of each cpu. Although this is not a lot of
instructions, each runqueue may be located on different node. Depending on
the architecture, a unique TLB entry may be required to access each
runqueue.
Since there may be more runqueues than cpu TLB entries, a scan of all
runqueues can trash the TLB. Each memory reference incurs a TLB miss &
refill.
In addition, the runqueue cacheline that contains nr_running &
nr_uninterruptible may be evicted from the cache between the two passes.
This causes unnecessary cache misses.
Combining nr_running() & nr_interruptible() into a single function
substantially reduces the TLB & cache misses on large systems. This should
have no measureable effect on smaller systems.
On a 128p IA64 system running a memory stress workload, the new function
reduced the overhead of calc_load() from 605 usec/call to 324 usec/call.

Remove the recently-added LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE and LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT
fadvise() additions, do it in a new sys_sync_file_range() syscall instead.
Reasons:
- It's more flexible. Things which would require two or three syscalls with
fadvise() can be done in a single syscall.
- Using fadvise() in this manner is something not covered by POSIX.
The patch wires up the syscall for x86.
The sycall is implemented in the new fs/sync.c. The intention is that we can
move sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and perhaps sys_sync() into there later.
Documentation for the syscall is in fs/sync.c.
A test app (sync_file_range.c) is in
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz.
The available-to-GPL-modules do_sync_file_range() is for knfsd: "A COMMIT can
say NFS_DATA_SYNC or NFS_FILE_SYNC. I can skip the ->fsync call for
NFS_DATA_SYNC which is hopefully the more common."
Note: the `async' writeout mode SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE will turn synchronous if
the queue is congested. This is trivial to fix: add a new flag bit, set
wbc->nonblocking. But I'm not sure that we want to expose implementation
details down to that level.
Note: it's notable that we can sync an fd which wasn't opened for writing.
Same with fsync() and fdatasync()).
Note: the code takes some care to handle attempts to sync file contents
outside the 16TB offset on 32-bit machines. It makes such attempts appear to
succeed, for best 32-bit/64-bit compatibility. Perhaps it should make such
requests fail...

If running on a host not supporting TLS (for instance 2.4) we should report

that.
Additionally, i386 and x86_64 support different ranges for
user_desc->entry_number, and we must account for that; we couldn't pass
ourselves -1 because we need to override previously existing TLS descriptors
which glibc has possibly set, so test at startup the range to use.

Implement sys_[gs]et_thread_area and the corresponding ptrace operations for
UML. This is the main chunk, additional parts follow. This implementation is
now well tested and has run reliably for some time, and we've understood all
the previously existing problems.
Their implementation saves the new GDT content and then forwards the call to
the host when appropriate, i.e. immediately when the target process is
running or on context switch otherwise (i.e. on fork and on ptrace() calls).
In SKAS mode, we must switch registers on each context switch (because SKAS
does not switches tls_array together with current->mm).
Also, added get_cpu() locking; this has been done for SKAS mode, since TT does
not need it (it does not use smp_processor_id()).

ldt-{i386,x86_64}.h is made of two different parts - some code for parsing of

LDT block inside UML), which is mostly arch-independant (among x86 and x86_64,
at least).
Join the common part in a single file (ldt.h) and split the rest away
(host_ldt-{i386,x86_64}.h).
This is needed because processor.h, with next patches, will start including
the LDT descriptor parsing macros in host_ldt.h, but it can't include ldt.h
because it uses semaphores (and to define semaphores one must first include
processor.h!).

Porting the patch I posted for x86_64 to i386.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114178139610707&w=2
o While using kdump, after a system crash when second kernel boots, timer
vector gets (0x31) locked and CPU does not see timer interrupts
travelling from IOAPIC to APIC. Currently it does not lead to boot
failure in second kernel as timer interrupts continues to come as ExtInt
through LAPIC directly, but fixing it is good in case some boards do not
support the other mode.
o After a system crash, it is not safe to service interrupts any more,
hence interrupts are disabled. This leads to pending interrupts at
LAPIC. LAPIC sends these interrupts to the CPU during early boot of
second kernel. Other pending interrupts are discarded saying unexpected
trap but timer interrupt is serviced and CPU does not issue an LAPIC EOI
because it think this interrupt came from i8259 and sends ack to 8259.
This leads to vector 0x31 locking as LAPIC does not clear respective ISR
and keeps on waiting for EOI.
o This patch issues extra EOI for the pending interrupts who have ISR set.
o Though today only timer seems to be the special case because in early
boot it thinks interrupts are coming from i8259 and uses
mask_and_ack_8259A() as ack handler and does not issue LAPIC EOI. But
probably doing it in generic manner for all vectors makes sense.

This ugly hack add support for Siemens MC45 PCMCIA GPRS card (which is
identical to Possio GCC, and which is offered by one of our local GPRS
providers). Card has unfortunate feature that after poweron oxcf950 chip
is fully powered and works, but attached MC45 modem is powered down :-(
There is a special sequence (which takes 1 sec :-( ) to poweron MC45 (and
after MC45 powers on, it takes more than 2 secs until firmware fully
boots...) which needs to be executed after all powerons.
I'm really not familiar with PCMCIA subsystem, so I have no idea whether I
should issue request_region() on rest of oxcf950 address range (0-7 is
UART, 8-F are special configuration registers), or how this should be
better integrated with PM system and so on - I just put it in same place
where another hack already lived...
Card uses 18.432MHz XTAL, so to get it to work you must add lines below to
the /etc/pcmcia/serial.opts.

This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a
transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only).
From the splice.c comments:
"splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands.
This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as
an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel
buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other.
The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation
that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer.

bugs.

Add a field to the host_set called 'flags' (was host_set_flags changed
to suit Jeff)
Add a simplex_claimed field so we can remember who owns the DMA channel
Add a ->mode_filter() hook to allow drivers to filter modes
Add docs for mode_filter and set_mode
Filter according to simplex state
Filter cable in core
This provides the needed framework to support all the mode rules found
in the PATA world. The simplex filter deals with 'to spec' simplex DMA
systems found in older chips. The cable filter avoids duplicating the
same rules in each chip driver with PATA. Finally the mode filter is
neccessary because drive/chip combinations have errata that forbid
certain modes with some drives or types of ATA object.
Drive speed setup remains per channel for now and the filters now use
the framework Tejun put into place which cleans them up a lot from the
older libata-pata patches.

This is the minimal patch set to enable the current code to be used with

assigned by the BIOS for some reason.
Simplex status is recorded but not acted upon in this change, this isn't
a problem with the current drivers as none of them are for simplex
hardware. A following diff will deal with that.
The flags in the probe structure remain ->host_set_flags although Jeff
asked me to rename them, simply because the rename would break the usual

This patch kills PIDTYPE_TGID pid_type thus saving one hash table in
kernel/pid.c and speeding up subthreads create/destroy a bit. It is also a
preparation for the further tref/pids rework.
This patch adds 'struct list_head thread_group' to 'struct task_struct'
instead.
We don't detach group leader from PIDTYPE_PID namespace until another
thread inherits it's ->pid == ->tgid, so we are safe wrt premature
free_pidmap(->tgid) call.
Currently there are no users of find_task_by_pid_type(PIDTYPE_TGID).
Should the need arise, we can use find_task_by_pid()->group_leader.

__exit_signal() does important cleanups atomically under ->siglock. It is
also called from copy_process's error path. This is not good, for example we
can't move __unhash_process() under ->siglock for that reason.
We should not mix these 2 paths, just look at ugly 'if (p->sighand)' under
'bad_fork_cleanup_sighand:' label. For copy_process() case it is sufficient
to just backout copy_signal(), nothing more.
Again, nobody can see this task yet. For CLONE_THREAD case we just decrement
signal->count, otherwise nobody can see this ->signal and we can free it
lockless.
This patch assumes it is safe to do exit_thread_group_keys() without
tasklist_lock.

Add lock_task_sighand() helper and converts group_send_sig_info() to use
it. Hopefully we will have more users soon.
This patch also removes '!sighand->count' and '!p->usage' checks, I think
they both are bogus, racy and unneeded (but probably it makes sense to
restore them as BUG_ON()s).
->sighand is cleared and it's ->count is decremented in release_task() with
sighand->siglock held, so it is a bug to have '!p->usage || !->count' after
we already locked and verified it is the same. On the other hand, an
already dead task without ->sighand can have a non-zero ->usage due to
ptrace, for example.
If we read the stale value of ->sighand we must see the change after
spin_lock(), because that change was done while holding that same old
->sighand.siglock.

This patch borrows a clever Hugh's 'struct anon_vma' trick.
Without tasklist_lock held we can't trust task->sighand until we locked it
and re-checked that it is still the same.
But this means we don't need to defer 'kmem_cache_free(sighand)'. We can
return the memory to slab immediately, all we need is to be sure that
sighand->siglock can't dissapear inside rcu protected section.
To do so we need to initialize ->siglock inside ctor function,
SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU does the rest.

daemonize() calls set_special_pids(1,1), while init and kernel threads spawned
from init/main.c:init() run with 0,0 special pids. This patch changes
INIT_SIGNALS() so that that they run with ->pgrp == ->session == 1 also. This
patch relies on fact that swapper's pid == 1.
Now we have no hashed zero pids in pid_hash[].
User-space visibible change is that now /sbin/init runs with (1,1) special
pids and becomes a session leader.
Quoting Eric W. Biederman:

fork_idle() does unhash_process() just after copy_process(). Contrary,
boot_cpu's idle thread explicitely registers itself for each pid_type with nr
= 0.
copy_process() already checks p->pid != 0 before process_counts++, I think we
can just skip attach_pid() calls and job control inits for idle threads and
kill unhash_process(). We don't need to cleanup ->proc_dentry in fork_idle()
because with this patch idle threads are never hashed in
kernel/pid.c:pid_hash[].
We don't need to hash pid == 0 in pidmap_init(). free_pidmap() is never
called with pid == 0 arg, so it will never be reused. So it is still possible
to use pid == 0 in any PIDTYPE_xxx namespace from kernel/pid.c's POV.
However with this patch we don't hash pid == 0 for PIDTYPE_PID case. We still
have have PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID entries with pid == 0: /sbin/init and
kernel threads which don't call daemonize().

switch_exec_pids is only called from de_thread by way of exec, and it is
only called when we are exec'ing from a non thread group leader.
Currently switch_exec_pids gives the leader the pid of the thread and
unhashes and rehashes all of the process groups. The leader is already in
the EXIT_DEAD state so no one cares about it's pids. The only concern for
the leader is that __unhash_process called from release_task will function
correctly. If we don't touch the leader at all we know that
__unhash_process will work fine so there is no need to touch the leader.
For the task becomming the thread group leader, we just need to give it the
pid of the old thread group leader, add it to the task list, and attach it
to the session and the process group of the thread group.
Currently de_thread is also adding the task to the task list which is just
silly.
Currently the only leader of __detach_pid besides detach_pid is
switch_exec_pids because of the ugly extra work that was being
performed.
So this patch removes switch_exec_pids because it is doing too much, it is
creating an unnecessary special case in pid.c, duing work duplicated in
de_thread, and generally obscuring what it is going on.
The necessary work is added to de_thread, and it seems to be a little
clearer there what is going on.

Basically this patch moves the generic tunnel protocol stuff out of
xfrm4_tunnel/xfrm6_tunnel and moves it into the new files of tunnel4.c
and tunnel6 respectively.
The reason for this is that the problem that Hugo uncovered is only
the tip of the iceberg. The real problem is that when we removed the
dependency of ipip on xfrm4_tunnel we didn't really consider the module
case at all.
For instance, as it is it's possible to build both ipip and xfrm4_tunnel
as modules and if the latter is loaded then ipip simply won't load.
After considering the alternatives I've decided that the best way out of
this is to restore the dependency of ipip on the non-xfrm-specific part
of xfrm4_tunnel. This is acceptable IMHO because the intention of the
removal was really to be able to use ipip without the xfrm subsystem.
This is still preserved by this patch.
So now both ipip/xfrm4_tunnel depend on the new tunnel4.c which handles
the arbitration between the two. The order of processing is determined
by a simple integer which ensures that ipip gets processed before
xfrm4_tunnel.
The situation for ICMP handling is a little bit more complicated since
we may not have enough information to determine who it's for. It's not
a big deal at the moment since the xfrm ICMP handlers are basically
no-ops. In future we can deal with this when we look at ICMP caching
in general.
The user-visible change to this is the removal of the TUNNEL Kconfig
prompts. This makes sense because it can only be used through IPCOMP
as it stands.
The addition of the new modules shouldn't introduce any problems since
module dependency will cause them to be loaded.
Oh and I also turned some unnecessary pskb's in IPv6 related to this
patch to skb's.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
This patch adds support for the new XScale v3 core. This is an
ARMv5 ISA core with the following additions:
- L2 cache
- I/O coherency support (on select chipsets)
- Low-Locality Reference cache attributes (replaces mini-cache)
- Supersections (v6 compatible)
- 36-bit addressing (v6 compatible)
- Single instruction cache line clean/invalidate
- LRU cache replacement (vs round-robin)
I attempted to merge the XSC3 support into proc-xscale.S, but XSC3
cores have separate errata and have to handle things like L2, so it
is simpler to keep it separate.
L2 cache support is currently a build option because the L2 enable
bit must be set before we enable the MMU and there is no easy way to
capture command line parameters at this point.
There are still optimizations that can be done such as using LLR for
copypage (in theory using the exisiting mini-cache code) but those
can be addressed down the road.

Optimize select and poll by a using stack space for small fd sets
This brings back an old optimization from Linux 2.0. Using the stack is
faster than kmalloc. On a Intel P4 system it speeds up a select of a
single pty fd by about 13% (~4000 cycles -> ~3500)
It also saves memory because a daemon hanging in select or poll will
usually save one or two less pages. This can add up - e.g. if you have 10
daemons blocking in poll/select you save 40KB of memory.
I did a patch for this long ago, but it was never applied. This version is
a reimplementation of the old patch that tries to be less intrusive. I
only did the minimal changes needed for the stack allocation.
The cut off point before external memory is allocated is currently at
832bytes. The system calls always allocate this much memory on the stack.
These 832 bytes are divided into 256 bytes frontend data (for the select
bitmaps of the pollfds) and the rest of the space for the wait queues used
by the low level drivers. There are some extreme cases where this won't
work out for select and it falls back to allocating memory too early -
especially with very sparse large select bitmaps - but the majority of
processes who only have a small number of file descriptors should be ok.
[TBD: 832/256 might not be the best split for select or poll]
I suspect more optimizations might be possible, but they would be more
complicated. One way would be to cache the select/poll context over
multiple system calls because typically the input values should be similar.
Problem is when to flush the file descriptors out though.

Now that Christoph Lameter's atomic_long_t support is merged in mainline,
might as well convert asm-generic/local.h to use it, so the same code can
be used for both sizes of 32 and 64-bit unsigned longs.
akpm sayeth:
Q:
Is there any particular reason why these routines weren't simply
implemented with local_save/restore_flags, if they are only meant to
guarantee atomicity to the local cpu? I'm sure on most platforms this
would be more efficient than using an atomic...
A:
The whole _point_ of local_t is to avoid local_irq_disable(). It's
designed to exploit the fact that many CPUs can do incs and decs in a way
which is atomic wrt local interrupts, but not atomic wrt SMP.
But this patch makes sense, because asm-generic/local.h is just a fallback
implementation for architectures which either cannot perform these
local-irq-atomic operations, or its maintainers haven't yet got around to
implementing them.
We need more work done on local_t in the 2.6.17 timeframe - they're defined as
unsigned long, but some architectures implement them as signed long.

Reading the CMOS clock on x86 and some other arches currently takes up to one
second because it synchronizes with the CMOS second tick-over. This delay
shows up at boot time as well a resume time.
This is the currently the most substantial boot time delay for machines that
are working towards instant-on capability. Also, a quick back of the envelope
calculation (.5sec * 2M users * 1 boot a day * 10 years) suggests it has cost
Linux users in the neighborhood of a million man-hours.
An earlier thread on this topic is here:
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_frm/thread/8a24255215ff6151/2aa97e66a977653d?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26selm%3D1To2R-2S7-11%40gated-at.bofh.it#2aa97e66a977653d
..from which the consensus seems to be that it's no longer desirable.
In my view, there are basically four cases to consider:
1) networked, need precise walltime: use NTP
2) networked, don't need precise walltime: use NTP anyway
3) not networked, don't need sub-second precision walltime: don't care
4) not networked, need sub-second precision walltime:
get a network or a radio time source because RTC isn't good enough anyway
So this patch series simply removes the synchronization in favor of a simple
seqlock-like approach using the seconds value.
Note that for purposes of timer accuracy on wakeup, this patch will cause us
to fire timers up to one second late. But as the current timer resume code
will already sync once (or more!), it's no worse for short timers.

We allow the superblock to record an 'old' and a 'new' geometry, and a
position where any conversion is up to. The geometry allows for changing

When using verion-0.90 superblock, we convert the version to 0.91 while the
conversion is happening so that an old kernel will refuse the assemble the
array. For version-1, we use a feature bit for the same effect.
When starting an array we check for an incomplete reshape and restart the

This patch provides the core of the resize/expand process.
sync_request notices if a 'reshape' is happening and acts accordingly.
It allocated new stripe_heads for the next chunk-wide-stripe in the target
geometry, marking them STRIPE_EXPANDING.
Then it finds which stripe heads in the old geometry can provide data needed
by these and marks them STRIPE_EXPAND_SOURCE. This causes stripe_handle to
read all blocks on those stripes.
Once all blocks on a STRIPE_EXPAND_SOURCE stripe_head are read, any that are
needed are copied into the corresponding STRIPE_EXPANDING stripe_head. Once a
STRIPE_EXPANDING stripe_head is full, it is marks STRIPE_EXPAND_READY and then
is written out and released.

We need to allow that different stripes are of different effective sizes, and
use the appropriate size. Also, when a stripe is being expanded, we must
block any IO attempts until the stripe is stable again.
Key elements in this change are:
- each stripe_head gets a 'disk' field which is part of the key,
thus there can sometimes be two stripe heads of the same area of
the array, but covering different numbers of devices. One of these
will be marked STRIPE_EXPANDING and so won't accept new requests.
- conf->expand_progress tracks how the expansion is progressing and
is used to determine whether the target part of the array has been
expanded yet or not.

Before a RAID-5 can be expanded, we need to be able to expand the stripe-cache
data structure.
This requires allocating new stripes in a new kmem_cache. If this succeeds,
we copy cache pages over and release the old stripes and kmem_cache.
We then allocate new pages. If that fails, we leave the stripe cache at it's
new size. It isn't worth the effort to shrink it back again.
Unfortuanately this means we need two kmem_cache names as we, for a short
period of time, we have two kmem_caches. So they are raid5/%s and

The remainder of this batch implements raid5 reshaping. Currently the only
shape change that is supported is added a device, but it is envisioned that
changing the chunksize and layout will also be supported, as well as changing
the level (e.g. 1->5, 5->6).
The reshape process naturally has to move all of the data in the array, and so
should be used with caution. It is believed to work, and some testing does
support this, but wider testing would be great for increasing my confidence.
You will need a version of mdadm newer than 2.3.1 to make use of raid5 growth.
This is because mdadm need to take a copy of a 'critical section' at the
start of the array incase there is a crash at an awkward moment. On restart,
mdadm will restore the critical section and allow reshape to continue.
I hope to release a 2.4-pre by early next week - it still needs a little more
polishing.
This patch:
Previously the array of disk information was included in the raid5 'conf'
structure which was allocated to an appropriate size. This makes it awkward
to change the size of that array. So we split it off into a separate
kmalloced array which will require a little extra indexing, but is much easier
to grow.

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.

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.
