  • __GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
    could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
    context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should
    clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing
    __GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
    wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
    indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
    them prevents it.

  • …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.

  • Currently, ide_cmd_ioctl when invoked for setting DMA transfer mode calls
    ide_find_dma_mode with requested mode as XFER_UDMA_6. This prevents setting DMA
    mode to any other value than the default (maximum) supported by the device (or
    UDMA6, if supported) irrespective of the actual requested transfer mode and
    returns error.

    For example, setting mode to UDMA2 using hdparm, where UDMA4 is the default
    transfer mode gives following error:
    # ./hdparm -d1 -Xudma2 /dev/hda
    /dev/hda:hda: UDMA/66 mode selected
    setting using_dma to 1 (on)
    hda: UDMA/66 mode selected
    setting xfermode to 66 (UltraDMA mode2)
    HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setxfermode) failed: Invalid argument
    using_dma = 1 (on)

    This patch fixes the issue.

  • * Make cmd->tf_flags field 'u16' and add IDE_TFLAG_SET_XFER taskfile flag.

    * Update ide_finish_cmd() to set xfer / re-read id if the new flag is set.

    * Convert set_xfer_rate() (write handler for /proc/ide/hd?/current_speed)
    and ide_cmd_ioctl() (HDIO_DRIVE_CMD ioctl handler) to use the new flag.

    * Remove no longer needed disable_irq_nosync() + enable_irq() from
    ide_config_drive_speed().

  • …tl HDIO_OBSOLETE_IDENTITY

    This patch fixes a memory overrun in function ide_get_identity_ioctl() which
    chooses the size of a memory buffer depending on the ioctl command that led
    to the function call, however, passes that buffer to a function which needs the
    buffer size to be always chosen unconditionally.

    Due to conditional compilation the memory overrun can only happen on big endian
    machines. The error can be triggered using ioctl HDIO_OBSOLETE_IDENTITY. Usage
    of ioctl HDIO_GET_IDENTITY is safe.

  • Make 'struct ide_taskfile' cover only 8 register values and thus put two such
    fields ('tf' and 'hob') into 'struct ide_cmd', dropping unnecessary 'tf_array'
    field from it.

    This required changing the prototype of ide_get_lba_addr() and ide_tf_dump().

  • Replace IDE_TFLAG_{IN|OUT}_* flags meaning to the taskfile register validity on
    input/output by the IDE_VALID_* flags and introduce 4 symmetric 8-bit register
    validity indicator subfields, 'valid.{input/output}.{tf|hob}', into the 'struct
    ide_cmd' instead of using the 'tf_flags' field for that purpose (this field can
    then be turned from 32-bit into 8-bit one).

  • * Add IDE_TFLAG_MULTI_PIO taskfile flag and set it for commands
    using multi-PIO protocol.

    * Use ata_tf_protocols enums instead of TASKFILE_* defines to
    denote command's protocol and then rename ->data_phase field
    to ->protocol.

    * Remove no longer needed includes.

    There should be no functional changes caused by this patch.
