  • …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.

  • When I review ocfs2 code, find there are 2 typos to "successfull". After
    doing grep "successfull " in kernel tree, 22 typos found totally -- great
    minds always think alike :)

    This patch fixes all the similar typos. Thanks for Randy's ack and comments.

  • I was notified by Randy Stewart that lksctp claims to be
    "the reference implementation". First of all, "the
    refrence implementation" was the original implementation
    of SCTP in usersapce written ty Randy and a few others.
    Second, after looking at the definiton of 'reference implementation',
    we don't really meet the requirements.

  • If SCTP-AUTH is enabled, received AUTH chunk with BAD shared key
    identifier will cause kernel panic.

    Test as following:
    step1: enabled /proc/sys/net/sctp/auth_enable
    step 2: connect to SCTP server with auth capable. Association is
    established between endpoints. Then send a AUTH chunk with a bad
    shareid, SCTP server will kernel panic after received that AUTH chunk.

    SCTP client SCTP server
    INIT ---------->
    (with auth capable)

    AUTH chunk is like this:
    AUTH chunk
    Chunk type: AUTH (15)
    Chunk flags: 0x00
    Chunk length: 28
    Shared key identifier: 10
    HMAC identifier: SHA-1 (1)
    HMAC: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

    The assignment of NULL to key can safely be removed, since key_for_each
    (which is just list_for_each_entry under the covers does an initial
    assignment to key anyway).

    If the endpoint_shared_keys list is empty, or if the key_id being
    requested does not exist, the function as it currently stands returns
    the actuall list_head (in this case endpoint_shared_keys. Since that
    list_head isn't surrounded by an actuall data structure, the last
    iteration through list_for_each_entry will do a container_of on key, and
    we wind up returning a bogus pointer, instead of NULL, as we should.
