  • 99b762338   proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner ... Browse Code »

    Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
    as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
    ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
    in module refcount underflow.

    We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
    and ->data.

    But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
    and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
    switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
    some thoughts.

    ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
    protection.

    rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
    And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
    We definitely don't want such modular code.

    Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.

    So, let's nuke it.

    Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

  • 27ac792ca   PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architectures ... Browse Code »

    On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
    boundary. For example:

    u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);

    always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.

    The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
    example):

    #define PAGE_SHIFT 12
    #define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
    #define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
    ...
    #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)

    The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
    PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
    Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
    typeof(addr) for the mask.

    Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
    include/linux/mm.h.

  • c74c120a2   proc: remove proc_root from drivers ... Browse Code »

    Remove proc_root export. Creation and removal works well if parent PDE is
    supplied as NULL -- it worked always that way.

    So, one useless export removed and consistency added, some drivers created
    PDEs with &proc_root as parent but removed them as NULL and so on.

  • 9004acc70   [ALSA] Remove sound/driver.h ... Browse Code »

    This header file exists only for some hacks to adapt alsa-driver
    tree. It's useless for building in the kernel. Let's move a few
    lines in it to sound/core.h and remove it.
    With this patch, sound/driver.h isn't removed but has just a single
    compile warning to include it. This should be really killed in
    future.

  • 9c2e08c59   [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 9 ... Browse Code »

    Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
    moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
    dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
    these shared resources.

    The va_list is designed to be used only once. The current code

    Copy/release the arguments temporarily to avoid this problem.

  • 543537bd9   [PATCH] create a kstrdup library function ... Browse Code »

    This patch creates a new kstrdup library function and changes the "local"
    implementations in several places to use this function.

    Most of the changes come from the sound and net subsystems. The sound part
    had already been acknowledged by Takashi Iwai and the net part by David S.
    Miller.

    I left UML alone for now because I would need more time to read the code
    carefully before making changes there.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
