netlink: rate-limit leftover bytes warning and print process name

2014-06-02T18:16:11Z

Any process is able to send netlink messages with leftover bytes. Make the warning rate-limited to prevent too much log spam. The warning is supposed to help find userspace bugs, so print the triggering command name to implicate the buggy program. [v2: Use pr_warn_ratelimited instead of printk_ratelimited.] Signed-off-by: Michal Schmidt Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

There's a lot more of that, but it'll probably go into the next merge window - it *does* shape up nicely, removes a lot of boilerplate, gets rid of locking inconsistencie between aio_write and splice_write and I hope to get Kent's direct-io rewrite merged into the same queue, but some of the stuff after this point is having (mostly trivial) conflicts with the things already merged into mainline and with some I want more testing.

lib/percpu_counter.c: fix bad percpu counter state during suspend

2014-04-08T23:48:51Z

I got a bug report yesterday from Laszlo Ersek in which he states that his kvm instance fails to suspend. Laszlo bisected it down to this commit 1cf7e9c68fe8 ("virtio_blk: blk-mq support") where virtio-blk is converted to use the blk-mq infrastructure. After digging a bit, it became clear that the issue was with the queue drain. blk-mq tracks queue usage in a percpu counter, which is incremented on request alloc and decremented when the request is freed. The initial hunt was for an inconsistency in blk-mq, but everything seemed fine. In fact, the counter only returned crazy values when suspend was in progress. When a CPU is unplugged, the percpu counters merges that CPU state with the general state. blk-mq takes care to register a hotcpu notifier with the appropriate priority, so we know it runs after the percpu counter notifier. However, the percpu counter notifier only merges the state when the CPU is fully gone. This leaves a state transition where the CPU going away is no longer in the online mask, yet it still holds private values. This means that in this state, percpu_counter_sum() returns invalid results, and the suspend then hangs waiting for abs(dead-cpu-value) requests to complete which of course will never happen. Fix this by clearing the state earlier, so we never have a case where the CPU isn't in online mask but still holds private state. This bug has been there since forever, I guess we don't have a lot of users where percpu counters needs to be reliable during the suspend cycle.

Kconfig: rename HAS_IOPORT to HAS_IOPORT_MAP

2014-04-07T23:36:11Z

If the renamed symbol is defined lib/iomap.c implements ioport_map and ioport_unmap and currently (nearly) all platforms define the port accessor functions outb/inb and friend unconditionally. So HAS_IOPORT_MAP is the better name for this. Consequently NO_IOPORT is renamed to NO_IOPORT_MAP. The motivation for this change is to reintroduce a symbol HAS_IOPORT that signals if outb/int et al are available. I will address that at least one merge window later though to keep surprises to a minimum and catch new introductions of (HAS|NO)_IOPORT. The changes in this commit were done using: $ git grep -l -E '(NO|HAS)_IOPORT' | xargs perl -p -i -e 's/\b((?:CONFIG_)?(?:NO|HAS)_IOPORT)\b/$1_MAP/' Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

initramfs: debug detected compression method

2014-04-07T23:36:11Z

This can greatly aid in narrowing down the real source of initramfs problems such as failures related to the compression of the in-kernel initramfs when an external initramfs is in use as well. Existing errors are ambiguous as to which initramfs is a problem and why. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use pr_debug()] Signed-off-by: Daniel M.

lib/idr.c: use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL)

2014-04-07T23:36:07Z

Replace rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure. And in the case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize. So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL) Signed-off-by: Monam Agarwal Acked-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
