  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • We've designed the /dev/rfkill API in a way that we
    can increase the event struct by adding members at
    the end, should it become necessary. To validate the
    events, userspace and the kernel need to have the
    proper event size to check for -- when reading from
    the other end they need to verify that it's at least
    version 1 of the event API, with the current struct
    size, so define a constant for that and make the
    code a little more 'future proof'.

    Not that I expect that we'll have to change the event
    size any time soon, but it's better to write the code
    in a way that lends itself to extending.

    Due to the current size of the event struct, the code
    is currently equivalent, but should the event struct
    ever need to be increased the new code might not need
    changing.

  • This information allows userspace to implement a hybrid policy where
    it can store the rfkill soft-blocked state in platform non-volatile
    storage if available, and if not then file-based storage can be used.

    Some users prefer platform non-volatile storage because of the behaviour
    when dual-booting multiple versions of Linux, or if the rfkill setting
    is changed in the BIOS setting screens, or if the BIOS responds to
    wireless-toggle hotkeys itself before the relevant platform driver has
    been loaded.

  • The setting of the "persistent" flag is also made more explicit using
    a new rfkill_init_sw_state() function, instead of special-casing
    rfkill_set_sw_state() when it is called before registration.

    Suspend is a bit of a corner case so we try to get away without adding
    another hack to rfkill-input - it's going to be removed soon.
    If the state does change over suspend, users will simply have to prod
    rfkill-input twice in order to toggle the state.

    Userspace policy agents will be able to implement a more consistent user
    experience. For example, they can avoid the above problem if they
    toggle devices individually. Then there would be no "global state"
    to get out of sync.

    Currently there are only two rfkill drivers with persistent soft-blocked
    state. thinkpad-acpi already checks the software state on resume.
    eeepc-laptop will require modification.

  • If we return after fiddling with the state, userspace will see the
    wrong state and rfkill_set_sw_state() won't work until the next call to
    rfkill_set_block(). At the moment rfkill_set_block() will always be
    called from rfkill_resume(), but this will change in future.

    Also, presumably the point of this test is to avoid bothering devices
    which may be suspended. If we don't want to call set_block(), we
    probably don't want to call query() either :-).

  • Once rfkill-input is disabled, the "global" states will only be used as

  • rfkill_set_global_sw_state() (previously rfkill_set_default()) will no
    longer be exported by the rewritten rfkill core.

    Instead, platform drivers which can provide persistent soft-rfkill state
    across power-down/reboot should indicate their initial state by calling
    rfkill_set_sw_state() before registration. Otherwise, they will be
    initialized to a default value during registration by a set_block call.

    We remove existing calls to rfkill_set_sw_state() which happen before
    registration, since these had no effect in the old model. If these
    drivers do have persistent state, the calls can be put back (subject
    to testing :-). This affects hp-wmi and acer-wmi.

    Drivers with persistent state will affect the global state only if
    rfkill-input is enabled. This is required, otherwise booting with
    wireless soft-blocked and pressing the wireless-toggle key once would
    have no apparent effect. This special case will be removed in future
    along with rfkill-input, in favour of a more flexible userspace daemon
    (see Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt).

    Now rfkill_global_states[n].def is only used to preserve global states
    over EPO, it is renamed to ".sav".

  • The rfkill core didn't initialise the poll delayed work
    because it assumed that polling was always done by specifying
    the poll function. cfg80211, however, would like to start
    polling only later, which is a valid use case and easy to
    support, so change rfkill to always initialise the poll
    delayed work and thus allow starting polling by calling the

  • The new code added by this patch will make rfkill create
    a misc character device /dev/rfkill that userspace can use
    to control rfkill soft blocks and get status of devices as
    well as events when the status changes.

    Using it is very simple -- when you open it you can read
    a number of times to get the initial state, and every
    further read blocks (you can poll) on getting the next
    event from the kernel. The same structure you read is
    also used when writing to it to change the soft block of
    a given device, all devices of a given type, or all
    devices.

    This also makes CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT selectable again in
    order to be able to test without it present since its
    functionality can now be replaced by userspace entirely
    and distros and users may not want the input part of
    rfkill interfering with their userspace code. We will
    also write a userspace daemon to handle all that and
    consequently add the input code to the feature removal
    schedule.

    In order to have rfkilld support both kernels with and
    without CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT (or new kernels after its
    eventual removal) we also add an ioctl (that only exists
    if rfkill-input is present) to disable rfkill-input.
    It is not very efficient, but at least gives the correct
    behaviour in all cases.

  • This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
    the following deficiencies:

    * all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
    rather than having one central implementation

    * updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
    contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
    lots of code

    * rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
    internally -- the core should do this

    * the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
    asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister

    * rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
    driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
    should be avoided

    * rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module

    * drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
    depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
    that do nothing if it isn't compiled in

    * the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
    it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
    force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()

    * the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
    reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS

    * the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
    operations in locked sections

    * fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
    changes -- this wasn't done before

  • We "optimize" away the get_state() hook call on rfkill_toggle_radio
    when doing a forced state change. This means the resume path is not
    calling get_state() as it should.

    Call it manually on the resume handler, as we don't want to mess with
    the EPO path by removing the optimization. This has the added benefit
    of making it explicit that rfkill->state could have been modified
    before we hit the rfkill_toggle_radio() call in the class resume
    handler.

  • The rfkill class API requires that the driver connected to a class
    call rfkill_force_state() on resume to update the real state of the
    rfkill controller, OR that it provides a get_state() hook.

    This means there is potentially a hidden call in the resume code flow
    that changes rfkill->state (i.e. rfkill_force_state()), so the
    previous state of the transmitter was being lost.

    The simplest and most future-proof way to fix this is to explicitly
    store the pre-sleep state on the rfkill structure, and restore from
    that on resume.

  • Limit the number of "expensive" rfkill workqueue operations per second, in
    order to not hog system resources too much when faced with a rogue source
    of rfkill input events.

    The old rfkill-input code (before it was refactored) had such a limit in
    place. It used to drop new events that were past the rate limit. This
    behaviour was not implemented as an anti-DoS measure, but rather as an
    attempt to work around deficiencies in input device drivers which would
    issue multiple KEY_FOO events too soon for a given key FOO (i.e. ones that
    do not implement mechanical debouncing properly).

    However, we can't really expect such issues to be worked around by every
    input handler out there, and also by every userspace client of input
    devices. It is the input device driver's responsability to do debouncing
    instead of spamming the input layer with bogus events.

    The new limiter code is focused only on anti-DoS behaviour, and tries to
    not lose events (instead, it coalesces them when possible).

    The transmitters are updated once every 200ms, maximum. Care is taken not
    to delay a request to _enter_ rfkill transmitter Emergency Power Off (EPO)
    mode.

    If mistriggered (e.g. by a jiffies counter wrap), the code delays processing
    *once* by 200ms.
