* dquot: cleanup space allocation / freeing routinesChristoph Hellwig2010-03-052-158/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of the alloc_space, free_space, reserve_space, claim_space and release_rsv dquot operations - they are always called from the filesystem and if a filesystem really needs their own (which none currently does) it can just call into it's own routine directly. Move shared logic into the common __dquot_alloc_space, dquot_claim_space_nodirty and __dquot_free_space low-level methods, and rationalize the wrappers around it to move as much as possible code into the common block for CONFIG_QUOTA vs not. Also rename all these helpers to be named dquot_* instead of vfs_dq_*. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

* quota: move code from sync_quota_sb into vfs_quota_syncChristoph Hellwig2010-03-052-17/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currenly sync_quota_sb does a lot of sync and truncate action that only applies to "VFS" style quotas and is actively harmful for the sync performance in XFS. Move it into vfs_quota_sync and add a wait parameter to ->quota_sync to tell if we need it or not. My audit of the GFS2 code says it's also not needed given the way GFS2 implements quotas, but I'd be happy if this can get a detailed review.

* quota: clean up Q_XQUOTASYNCChristoph Hellwig2010-03-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently Q_XQUOTASYNC calls into the quota_sync method, but XFS does something entirely different in it than the rest of the filesystems. xfs_quota which calls Q_XQUOTASYNC expects an asynchronous data writeout to flush delayed allocations, while the "VFS" quota support wants to flush changes to the quota file. So make Q_XQUOTASYNC call into the writeback code directly and make the quota_sync method optional as XFS doesn't need in the sense expected by the rest of the quota code. GFS2 was using limited XFS-style quota and has a quota_sync method fitting neither the style used by vfs_quota_sync nor xfs_fs_quota_sync. I left it in for now as per discussion with Steve it expects to be called from the sync path this way. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
* quota: manage reserved space when quota is not active [v2]Dmitry Monakhov2010-03-051-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since we implemented generic reserved space management interface, then it is possible to account reserved space even when quota is not active (similar to i_blocks/i_bytes). Without this patch following testcase result in massive comlain from WARN_ON in dquot_claim_space() TEST_CASE: mount /dev/sdb /mnt -oquota dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test bs=1M count=1 quotaon /mnt # fs_reserved_spave == 1Mb # quota_reserved_space == 0, because quota was disabled dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test seek=1 bs=1M count=1 # fs_reserved_spave == 2Mb # quota_reserved_space == 1Mb sync # ->dquot_claim_space() -> WARN_ON Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

* ext3: Use bitops to read/modify EXT3_I(inode)->i_stateJan Kara2010-03-052-9/+26
| | | | | | | | | At several places we modify EXT3_I(inode)->i_state without holding i_mutex (ext3_release_file, ext3_bmap, ext3_journalled_writepage, ext3_do_update_inode, ...). These modifications are racy and we can lose updates to i_state. So convert handling of i_state to use bitops which are atomic. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

Some CPUs (such as Marvell Feroceon) do not generate an exception, if such an instruction is executed with an address that is not 64 bit aligned. In such a case, the Feroceon corrupts adjacent memory, which showed up in my tests as a crash in the rx path of ath9k that only occured with CONFIG_XFRM set. This crash happened, because the first field of the mac80211 rx status info in the cb is an u64, and changing it corrupted the skb->sp field. This patch also closes some potential pre-existing holes in the sk_buff struct surrounding the cb[] area. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: David S.

This will be used by rtnl_link to defer netlink notifications until the device has been fully configured. This changes ordering of some operations, in particular: - netlink notifications are sent after all changes have been performed. As a side effect this surpresses one unnecessary netlink message when the IFF_UP and other flags are changed simultaneously. - The NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_DOWN and NETDEV_CHANGE notifiers are invoked after all changes have been performed. Their relative is unchanged. - net_dmaengine_put() is invoked before the NETDEV_DOWN notifier instead of afterwards.

Add a simple command to make it possible to enable and disable power save via nl80211. I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it. Basically there were three reasons: Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent. Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and still make sense to users, will be very difficult. Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on. Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this. For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network and other traffic parameters. Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

It is then responsible for rejecting ones that it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but the socket can be closed for that. Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the cfg80211 API helps implementing that. Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be used either to exchange action frames on the current operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

Some existing uses of the dev<foo> macros in cdc_eem.c probably mistakenly had trailing "\n". No "\n" added there. Fix net1080 this/other log message inversion.
