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.

$ losetup -d /dev/loop0
triggers a [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
I think this warning is a false positive.
Open/close on a loop device acquires bd_mutex of the device before
acquiring lo_ctl_mutex of the same device. For ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD) after
acquiring lo_ctl_mutex, fput on the backing_file might acquire the bd_mutex of
a device, if backing file is a device and this is the last reference to the
file being dropped . But it is guaranteed that it is impossible to have a
circular list of backing devices.(say loop2->loop1->loop0->loop2 is not
possible), which guarantees that this can never deadlock.
So this warning should be suppressed. It is very difficult to annotate lockdep
not to warn here in the correct way. A simple way to silence lockdep could be
to mark the lo_ctl_mutex in ioctl to be a sub class, but this might mask some
other real bugs.

Or actually marking the bd_mutex after lo_ctl_mutex as a sub class could be

Luckily it is easy to avoid calling fput on backing file with lo_ctl_mutex
held, so no lockdep annotation is required.
If you do not like the special handling of the lo_ctl_mutex just for the

To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset.
2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
3) kill the old (renamed) methods.
Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver

This patch allows to use loop device with partitionned disk image.
Original behavior of loop is not modified.
A new parameter is introduced to define how many partition we want to be
able to manage per loop device. This parameter is "max_part".
For instance, to manage 63 partitions / loop device, we will do:
# modprobe loop max_part=63
# ls -l /dev/loop?*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 0 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 64 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop1

brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 448 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop7
And to attach a raw partitionned disk image, the original losetup is used:
# losetup -f etch.img
# ls -l /dev/loop?*

This allows a flag to be set on loop devices so that when they are
closed for the last time, they'll self-destruct.
In general, so that we can automatically allocate loop devices (as with
losetup -f) and have them disappear when we're done with them.
In particular, right now, so that we can stop relying on the hackish
special-case in umount(8) which kills off loop devices which were set up by
'mount -oloop'. That means we can stop putting crap in /etc/mtab which
doesn't belong there, which means it can be a symlink to /proc/mounts, which
means yet another writable file on the root filesystem is eliminated and the
'stateless' folks get happier... and OLPC trac #356 can be closed.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

It's very common for file systems to need to zero part or all of a page,
the simplist way is just to use kmap_atomic() and memset(). There's
actually a library function in include/linux/highmem.h that does exactly
that, but it's confusingly named memclear_highpage_flush(), which is
descriptive of *how* it does the work rather than what the *purpose* is.
So this patchset renames the function to zero_user_page(), and calls it
from the various places that currently open code it.
This first patch introduces the new function call, and converts all the
core kernel callsites, both the open-coded ones and the old
memclear_highpage_flush() ones. Following this patch is a series of
conversions for each file system individually, per AKPM, and finally a
patch deprecating the old call. The diffstat below shows the entire
patchset.

Convert loop.c from the deprecated kernel_thread to kthread. This patch
simplifies the code quite a bit and passes similar testing to the previous
submission on both emulated x86 and s390.
Changes since last submission:
switched to using a rather simple loop based on
wait_event_interruptible.

This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode. Filesystems that want
to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.
Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)
values for i_blksize.

Same as with already do with the file operations: keep them in .rodata and
prevents people from doing runtime patching.

This reverts commit c7b2eff059.
Hugh Dickins explains:
"It seems too little tested: "losetup -d /dev/loop0" fails with
EINVAL because nothing sets lo_thread; but even when you patch
loop_thread() to set lo->lo_thread = current, it can't survive
more than a few dozen iterations of the loop below (with a tmpfs
mounted on /tst):
j=0
cp /dev/zero /tst
while :
do
let j=j+1
echo "Doing pass $j"
losetup /dev/loop0 /tst/zero
mkfs -t ext2 -b 1024 /dev/loop0 >/dev/null 2>&1
mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /mnt
umount /mnt
losetup -d /dev/loop0
done
it collapses with failed ioctl then BUG_ON(!bio).
I think the original lo_done completion was more subtle and safe
than the kthread conversion has allowed for."

While writing a version of losetup, I ran into the problem that the loop
device was returning total garbage.
It turns out the problem was that this losetup was only issuing the
LOOP_SET_FD ioctl and not issuing a subsequent LOOP_SET_STATUS ioctl. This
losetup didn't have any special status to set, so it left out the call.
The deeper cause is that loop_set_fd sets the transfer function to NULL,
which causes no transfer to happen lo_do_transfer.
This patch fixes the problem by setting transfer to transfer_none in
loop_set_fd.

This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on
XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your
luck with it might be different.

readpage(), prepare_write(), and commit_write() callers are updated to
understand the special return code AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE in the style of
writepage() and WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE. AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE tells the caller that
the callee has unlocked the page and that the operation should be tried again
with a new page. OCFS2 uses this to detect and work around a lock inversion in
its aop methods. There should be no change in behaviour for methods that don't
return AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE.
WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE is also prepended with AOP_ for consistency and they are
made enums so that kerneldoc can be used to document their semantics.

Looks like locking can be optimised quite a lot. Increase lock widths
slightly so lo_lock is taken fewer times per request. Also it was quite
trivial to cover lo_pending with that lock, and remove the atomic
requirement. This also makes memory ordering explicitly correct, which is
nice (not that I particularly saw any mem ordering bugs).
Test was reading 4 250MB files in parallel on ext2-on-tmpfs filesystem (1K
block size, 4K page size). System is 2 socket Xeon with HT (4 thread).

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!
