2007-02-11[PATCH] uml: return hotplug errors to hostJeff Dike
I noticed that errors happening while hotplugging devices from the host were never returned back to the mconsole client. In some cases, success was returned instead of even an information-free error. This patch cleans that up by having the low-level configuration code pass back an error string along with an error code. At the top level, which knows whether it is early boot time or responding to an mconsole request, the string is printk'd or returned to the mconsole client. There are also whitespace and trivial code cleanups in the surrounding code.

2007-02-11[PATCH] uml: console locking fixesJeff Dike
Clean up the console driver locking. There are various problems here, including sleeping under a spinlock and spinlock recursion, some of which are fixed here. This patch deals with the locking involved with opens and closes. The problem is that an mconsole request to change a console's configuration can race with an open. Changing a configuration should only be done when a console isn't opened. Also, an open must be looking at a stable configuration. In addition, a get configuration request must observe the same locking since it must also see a stable configuration. With the old locking, it was possible for this to hang indefinitely in some cases because open would block for a long time waiting for a connection from the host while holding the lock needed by the mconsole request. As explained in the long comment, this is fixed by adding a spinlock for the use count and configuration and a mutex for the actual open and close.

2006-10-31[PATCH] uml ubd driver: ubd_io_lock usage fixupPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Add some comments about requirements for ubd_io_lock and expand its use. When an irq signals that the "controller" (i.e. another thread on the host, which does the actual requests and is the only one blocked on I/O on the host) has done some work, we call again the request function ourselves (do_ubd_request). We now do that with ubd_io_lock held - that's useful to protect against concurrent calls to elv_next_request and so on. XXX: Maybe we shouldn't call at all the request function. Input needed on this. Are we supposed to plug and unplug the queue? That code "indirectly" does that by setting a flag, called do_ubd, which makes the request function return (it's a residual of 2.4 block layer interface). Meanwhile, however, merge this patch, which improves things.

2006-10-31[PATCH] uml ubd driver: change ubd_lock to be a mutexPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
This lock protects ubd setup and teardown, so is only used in process context; beyond that, during such setup memory allocations must be performed and some generic functions which can sleep must be called (such as add_disk()). So the only correct solution is to make it a mutex instead of a spin_lock. No other change is done - this lock must be acquired in different places but it's done afterwards.

2006-10-24[PATCH] uml: mconsole fixesAl Viro
* when we have stop/sysrq/go, we get pt_regs of whatever executes mc_work_proc(). Would be better to see what we had at the time of interrupt that got us stop. * stop/stop/stop..... will give stack overflow. Shouldn't allow stop from mconsole_stop(). * stop/stop/go leaves us inside mconsole_stop() with os_set_fd_block(req->originating_fd, 0); reactivate_fd(req->originating_fd, MCONSOLE_IRQ); just done by nested mconsole_stop(). Ditto. * once we'd seen stop, there's a period when INTR commands are executed out of order (as they should; we might have the things stuck badly enough to never reach mconsole_stop(), but still not badly enough to block mconsole_interrupt(); in that situation we _want_ things like "cad" to be executed immediately). Once we enter monsole_stop(), all INTR commands will be executed in order, mixed with PROC ones. We'd better let user see that such change of behaviour has happened. (Suggested by lennert). * stack footprint of monsole_interrupt() is an atrocity; AFAICS we can safely make struct mc_request req; static in function there.

Freeing the stack is left uselessly to the caller of run_helper in some cases - this is taken from run_helper_thread, but here it is useless, so no caller needs it and the only place where this happens has a potential leak - in case of error neither run_helper() nor xterm_open() call free_stack(). At this point passing a pointer is not needed - the stack pointer should be passed directly, but this change is not done here.

2006-10-02[PATCH] const struct tty_operationsJeff Dike
As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to be fixed. This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra warnings. 53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

2006-09-29[PATCH] uml: assign random MACs to interfaces if necessaryJeff Dike
Assign a random MAC to an ethernet interface if one was not provided on the command line. This became pressing when distros started bringing interfaces up before assigning IPs to them. The previous pattern of assigning an IP then bringing it up allowed the MAC to be generated from the first IP assigned. However, once the thing is up, it's probably a bad idea to change the MAC, so the MAC stayed initialized to fe:fd:0:0:0:0. Now, if there is no MAC from the command line, one is generated. We use the microseconds from gettimeofday (20 bits), plus the low 12 bits of the pid to seed the random number generator. random() is called twice, with 16 bits of each result used. I didn't want to have to try to fill in 32 bits optimally given an arbitrary RAND_MAX, so I just assume that it is greater than 65536 and use 16 bits of each random() return. There is also a bit of reformatting and whitespace cleanup here.

However, Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt explains we are called with rtnl_lock() held - so we don't need to care about other concurrent opens. Verified also in LDD3 and by direct checking. Also verified that the network layer (through a state machine) guarantees us that nobody will close the interface while it's being used. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Also, we must check we don't sleep with irqs disabled!!! But anyway, this is not news - we already can't sleep while holding a spinlock. Who says this is guaranted really by the present code?
