  • get_seconds() returns real wall-clock seconds. On 32-bit systems
    this value will overflow in year 2038 and beyond. This patch changes
    afs's vlocation record to use ktime_get_real_seconds() instead, for the
    fields time_of_death and update_at.

  • The afs_wait_mode struct isn't really necessary. Client calls only use one
    of a choice of two (synchronous or the asynchronous) and incoming calls
    don't use the wait at all. Replace with a boolean parameter.

  • The workqueue "afs_vlocation_update_worker" queues a single work item
    &afs_vlocation_update and hence it doesn't require execution ordering.
    Hence, alloc_workqueue has been used to replace the deprecated
    create_singlethread_workqueue instance.

    Since the workqueue is being used on a memory reclaim path, WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
    flag has been set to ensure forward progress under memory pressure.

    Since there are fixed number of work items, explicit concurrency
    limit is unnecessary here.

  • schedule(), io_schedule() and schedule_timeout() always return
    with TASK_RUNNING state set, so one more setting is unnecessary.

    (All places in patch are visible good, only exception is
    kiblnd_scheduler() from:

    drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/klnds/o2iblnd/o2iblnd_cb.c

    Its schedule() is one line above standard 3 lines of unified diff)

    No places where set_current_state() is used for mb().

  • Provide the ability to enable and disable fscache cookies. A disabled cookie
    will reject or ignore further requests to:

    Acquire a child cookie
    Invalidate and update backing objects
    Check the consistency of a backing object
    Allocate storage for backing page
    Read backing pages
    Write to backing pages

    but still allows:

    Checks/waits on the completion of already in-progress objects
    Uncaching of pages
    Relinquishment of cookies

    Two new operations are provided:

    (1) Disable a cookie:

    void fscache_disable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
    bool invalidate);

    If the cookie is not already disabled, this locks the cookie against other
    dis/enablement ops, marks the cookie as being disabled, discards or
    invalidates any backing objects and waits for cessation of activity on any
    associated object.

    This is a wrapper around a chunk split out of fscache_relinquish_cookie(),
    but it reinitialises the cookie such that it can be reenabled.

    All possible failures are handled internally. The caller should consider
    calling fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages() afterwards to make sure all page
    markings are cleared up.

    (2) Enable a cookie:

    void fscache_enable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
    bool (*can_enable)(void *data),
    void *data)

    If the cookie is not already enabled, this locks the cookie against other
    dis/enablement ops, invokes can_enable() and, if the cookie is not an
    index cookie, will begin the procedure of acquiring backing objects.

    The optional can_enable() function is passed the data argument and returns
    a ruling as to whether or not enablement should actually be permitted to
    begin.

    All possible failures are handled internally. The cookie will only be
    marked as enabled if provisional backing objects are allocated.

    A later patch will introduce these to NFS. Cookie enablement during nfs_open()
    is then contingent on i_writecount <dhowells@redhat.com

  • Convert delayed_work users doing cancel_delayed_work() followed by
    queue_delayed_work() to mod_delayed_work().

    Most conversions are straight-forward. Ones worth mentioning are,

    * drivers/edac/edac_mc.c: edac_mc_workq_setup() converted to always
    use mod_delayed_work() and cancel loop in
    edac_mc_reset_delay_period() is dropped.

    * drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c: No need to remember whether
    watchdog is active or not. @fan_watchdog_active and related code
    dropped.

    * drivers/power/charger-manager.c: Seemingly a lot of
    delayed_work_pending() abuse going on here.
    [delayed_]work_pending() are unsynchronized and racy when used like
    this. I converted one instance in fullbatt_handler(). Please
    conver the rest so that it invokes workqueue APIs for the intended
    target state rather than trying to game work item pending state
    transitions. e.g. if timer should be modified - call
    mod_delayed_work(), canceled - call cancel_delayed_work[_sync]().

    * drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c: thermal_zone_device_set_polling()
    simplified. Note that round_jiffies() calls in this function are
    meaningless. round_jiffies() work on absolute jiffies not delta
    delay used by delayed_work.

    v2: Tomi pointed out that __cancel_delayed_work() users can't be
    safely converted to mod_delayed_work(). They could be calling it
    from irq context and if that happens while delayed_work_timer_fn()
    is running, it could deadlock. __cancel_delayed_work() users are
    dropped.

  • flush_scheduled_work() is going away. afs needs to make sure all the
    works it has queued have finished before being unloaded and there can
    be arbitrary number of pending works. Add afs_wq and use it as the
    flush domain instead of the system workqueue.

    Also, convert cancel_delayed_work() + flush_scheduled_work() to
    cancel_delayed_work_sync() in afs_mntpt_kill_timer().

  • …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.

  • Authentication error abort codes should be translated to appropriate
    Linux error codes, rather than all being translated to EREMOTEIO - which
    indicates that the server had internal problems.

    Additionally, a server shouldn't be marked unavailable and the next
    server tried if an authentication error occurs. This will quickly make
    all the servers unavailable to the client. Instead the error should be
    returned straight to the user.

  • First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
    function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
    mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

    This patch
    a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
    b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
    c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
    d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
    e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
    getting them indirectly

    Net result is:
    a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
    they don't need sched.h
    b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
    on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
    after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

    Cross-compile tested on

    all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
    alpha alpha-up
    arm
    i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig

  • 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!
