userspace configuration API")causing no automatic merge conflict, but Eric Paris pointed out the
issue.

Once upon a time netlink was not sync and we had to get the effective
capabilities from the skb that was being received. Today we instead get
the capabilities from the current task. This has rendered the entire
purpose of the hook moot as it is now functionally equivalent to the
capable() call.Signed-off-by: Eric Paris

…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>

This patch adds scsi netlink recieve and event support for transport
and scsi LLDD's. It is a reimplementation of the patch posted last
week by David Somayajulu.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=121745486221819&w=2There are a few things done differently:
- Transport support is included
- Event delivery is included
- The vendor message is now its own unique message type, considered
part of the generic "SCSI Transport".- LLDD entry points are now registered rather than included in the
scsi_host_template.Background: When I started to implement the event handler via template,
I had to either: muck up scsi_add_host and scsi_remove_host; or have
the event handler search all possible shosts. Neither was acceptable.
Moving to a registration solves this, and also limits the scope of
the changes to something that could be backported to a distro without
breaking an already-released-distro kabi. However, I admit it isn't
as elegant, as the passing of the LLDD host template in the
registration and the complexity around dynamic add/remove shows.- The receive path was augmented to require a unique identifier for
the LLDD before the message was allowed to be handed off to the
driver. Given how quickly very fatal errors occur if there's msg
mismatches (which I saw in testing my own tools :), I believe this
to be a very good thing. The id plays off the vendor id scheme already
introduced for the vendor unique event messages used by FC.
Additionally, the id use as the basis of the registration/deregistration.- Send assist functions, for both the transport and LLDDs are included.

This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious.
This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current
netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced
asynchronious user -> kernel communication.The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel
netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the
user.Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue
and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all
pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing
may occur in the arbitrary process context.This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet
processing right in the netlink_unicast.Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched.
EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock
drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully
processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now.Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev

Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace,
this includes the controlling kernel sockets.This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols
to only support the initial network namespace. Request
by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED.
As they would if the kernel did not have the support for
that netlink protocol compiled in.As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network
namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets
to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces.The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation
at hash table insertion and hash table look up time.Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

This patch formally adds support for the posting of FC events via netlink.
It is a followup to the original RFC at:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=114530667923464&w=2
and the initial posting at:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115507374832500&w=2The patch has been updated to optimize the send path, per the discussions
in the initial posting.Per discussions at the Storage Summit and at OLS, we are to use netlink for
async events from transports. Also per discussions, to avoid a netlink
protocol per transport, I've create a single NETLINK_SCSITRANSPORT protocol,
which can then be used by all transports.This patch:
- Creates new files scsi_netlink.c and scsi_netlink.h, which contains the
single and shared definitions for the SCSI Transport. It is tied into the
base SCSI subsystem intialization.
Contains a single interface routine, scsi_send_transport_event(), for a
transport to send an event (via multicast to a protocol specific group).
- Creates a new scsi_netlink_fc.h file, which contains the FC netlink event
messages
- Adds 3 new routines to the fc transport:
fc_get_event_number() - to get a FC event #
fc_host_post_event() - to send a simple FC event (32 bits of data)
fc_host_post_vendor_event() - to send a Vendor unique event, with
arbitrary amounts of data.Note: the separation of event number allows for a LLD to send a standard
event, followed by vendor-specific data for the event.Note: This patch assumes 2 prior fc transport patches have been installed:
