Commit 88491d8(drivers/net: Kconfig & Makefile cleanup) causes a
regression that netconsole does not work if netconsole and network
device driver are build into kernel, because netconsole is linked
before network device driver.Andrew Morton suggested to fix this with initcall ordering.
Fixes it by switching init_netconsole() to late_initcall.Signed-off-by: Lin Ming

V3: rename NETDEV_ENSLAVE to NETDEV_JOIN
Currently we do nothing when we enslave a net device which is running netconsole.
Neil pointed out that we may get weird results in such case, so let's disable
netpoll on the device being enslaved. I think it is too harsh to prevent
the device being ensalved if it is running netconsole.By the way, this patch also removes the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN from netconsole
netdev notifier, because netpoll will check if the device is running or not
and we don't handle NETDEV_PRE_UP neither.This patch is based on net-next-2.6.

A deadlock was reported to me recently that occured when netconsole was being
used in a virtual guest. If the virtio_net driver was removed while netconsole
was setup to use an interface that was driven by that driver, the guest
deadlocked. No backtrace was provided because netconsole was the only console
configured, but it became clear pretty quickly what the problem was. In
netconsole_netdev_event, if we get an unregister event, we call
__netpoll_cleanup with the target_list_lock held and irqs disabled.
__netpoll_cleanup can, if pending netpoll packets are waiting call
cancel_delayed_work_sync, which is a sleeping path. the might_sleep call in
that path gets triggered, causing a console warning to be issued. The
netconsole write handler of course tries to take the target_list_lock again,
which we already hold, causing deadlock.The fix is pretty striaghtforward. Simply drop the target_list_lock and
re-enable irqs prior to calling __netpoll_cleanup, the re-acquire the lock, and
restart the loop. Confirmed by myself to fix the problem reported.Signed-off-by: Neil Horman

Netconsole calls netpoll_cleanup on receipt of a NETDEVICE_UNREGISTER event.
The notifier subsystem calls these event handlers with rtnl_lock held, which
netpoll_cleanup also takes, resulting in deadlock. Fix this by calling the
__netpoll_cleanup interior function instead, and fixing up the additional

This whole patchset is for adding netpoll support to bridge and bonding
devices. I already tested it for bridge, bonding, bridge over bonding,
and bonding over bridge. It looks fine now.To make bridge and bonding support netpoll, we need to adjust
some netpoll generic code. This patch does the following things:1) introduce two new priv_flags for struct net_device:
IFF_IN_NETPOLL which identifies we are processing a netpoll;
IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL is used to disable netpoll support for a device
at run-time;2) introduce one new method for netdev_ops:
->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() is used to clean up netpoll when a device is
removed.3) introduce netpoll_poll_dev() which takes a struct net_device * parameter;
export netpoll_send_skb() and netpoll_poll_dev() which will be used later;4) hide a pointer to struct netpoll in struct netpoll_info, ditto.
5) introduce ->real_dev for struct netpoll.
6) introduce a new status NETDEV_BONDING_DESLAE, which is used to disable
netconsole before releasing a slave, to avoid deadlocks.Cc: David Miller

…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 allmodconfig8. 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.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

rmmod $interface_driver_module) the rmmod remains stuck and some locks
are taken that prevent any additional module loading/unloading as well

of this, -ENOMEM is the only return code bubbled up the stack.Multiple folks have requested the ability to return specific error codes
when these operations fail. This patch adds that ability by changing the

Since 0bcc1816188e570bde1d56a208996660f2633ae0 (netconsole: Support
dynamic reconfiguration using configfs), the netconsole is always
registered, regardless of whether the user actually specified a
netconsole configuration on the command line.However because netconsole has CON_PRINTBUFFER set, when it is
registered it causes the printk buffer to be replayed to all consoles.
When there is no netconsole configured this is a) pointless, and b)
somewhat annoying for the user of the existing console.So instead we should only set CON_PRINTBUFFER if there is a netconsole
configuration found on the command line. This retains the existing
behaviour if a netconsole is setup by the user, and avoids spamming
other consoles when we're only registering for the dynamic
netconsole case.Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii .
This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing
and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a
userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated
accordingly.Issues and brief design overview:
(1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not
possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed
exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module
params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be
setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the
lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created
via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the
boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here
and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed
through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed
dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting
complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support
kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.(2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to
create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at
the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various
attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus,
netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
_this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables
the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this
effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,
that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure.
netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to
be used from netconsole.Signed-off-by: Satyam Sharma

This patch introduces support for multiple targets, independent of
CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC -- this is useful even in the default case and
(including the infrastructure introduced in previous patches) doesn't really
add too many bytes to module text. All the complexity (and size) comes with
the dynamic reconfigurability / userspace interface patch, and so it's
plausible users may want to keep this enabled but that disabled (say to avoid
a dependency on CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS too).Also update documentation to mention the use of ";" separator to specify
multiple logging targets in the boot/module option string.Brief overview:
We maintain a target_list (and corresponding lock). Get rid of the static
"default_target" and introduce allocation and release functions for our
netconsole_target objects (but keeping sure to preserve previous behaviour
such as default values). During init_netconsole(), ";" is used as the
separator to identify multiple target specifications in the boot/module option
string. The target specifications are parsed and netpolls setup. During
exit, the target_list is torn down and all items released.Signed-off-by: Satyam Sharma

To update fields of underlying netpoll structure at runtime on corresponding
NETDEV_CHANGEADDR or NETDEV_CHANGENAME notifications.ioctl(SIOCSIFHWADDR or SIOCSIFNAME) could be used to change the hardware/MAC
address or name of the local interface that our netpoll is attached to.
Whenever this happens, netdev notifier chain is called out with the
NETDEV_CHANGEADDR or NETDEV_CHANGENAME event message. We respond to that and
update the local_mac or dev_name field of the struct netpoll. This makes
sense anyway, but is especially required for dynamic netconsole because the
netpoll structure's internal members become user visible files when either
sysfs or configfs are used. So this helps us to keep up with the MAC
address/name changes and keep values in struct netpoll uptodate.[ Note that ioctl(SIOCSIFADDR) to change IP address of interface at
runtime is not handled (to update local_ip of netpoll) on purpose --
some setups may set the local_ip to a private address, not necessary
the actual IP address of the sender host, as presently allowed. ]Signed-off-by: Satyam Sharma

Presently, boot/module parameters are set up quite differently for the case of
built-in netconsole (__setup() -> obsolete_checksetup() ->
netpoll_parse_options() -> strlen(config) == 0 in init_netconsole()) vs
modular netconsole (module_param_string() -> string copied to the config
variable -> strlen(config) != 0 init_netconsole() -> netpoll_parse_options()).This patch makes both of them similar by doing exactly the equivalent of a
module_param_string() in option_setup() also -- just copying the param string
passed from the kernel command line into "config" variable. So,
strlen(config) != 0 in both cases, and netpoll_parse_options() is always
called from init_netconsole(), thus making the setup logic for both cases
similar.Now, option_setup() is only ever called / used for the built-in case, so we
put it inside a #ifndef MODULE, otherwise gcc will complain about
option_setup() being "defined but not used". Also, the "configured" variable
is redundant with this patch and hence removed.Signed-off-by: Satyam Sharma
