| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch does a few things. 1) Makes /sys/bus/fcoe/ctlr_{create,destroy} interfaces. These interfaces take an <ifname> and will either create an FCoE Controller or destroy an FCoE Controller depending on which file is written to. The new FCoE Controller will start in a DISABLED state and will not do discovery or login until it is ENABLED. This pause will allow us to configure the FCoE Controller before enabling it. 2) Makes the 'mode' attribute of a fcoe_ctlr_device writale. This allows the user to configure the mode in which the FCoE Controller will start in when it is ENABLED. Possible modes are 'Fabric', or 'VN2VN'. The default mode for a fcoe_ctlr{,_device} is 'Fabric'. Drivers must implement the set_fcoe_ctlr_mode routine to support this feature. libfcoe offers an exported routine to set a FCoE Controller's mode. The mode can only be changed when the FCoE Controller is DISABLED. This patch also removes the get_fcoe_ctlr_mode pointer in the fcoe_sysfs function template, the code in fcoe_ctlr.c to get the mode and the assignment of the fcoe_sysfs function pointer to the fcoe_ctlr.c implementation (in fcoe and bnx2fc). fcoe_sysfs can return that value for the mode without consulting the LLD. 3) Make a 'enabled' attribute of a fcoe_ctlr_device. On a read, fcoe_sysfs will return the attribute's value. On a write, fcoe_sysfs will call the LLD (if there is a callback) to notifiy that the enalbed state has changed. This patch maintains the old FCoE control interfaces as module parameters, but it adds comments pointing out that the old interfaces are deprecated.

It contains an internal EEPROM, allowing to configure up to 12 light patterns. A light pattern is a RGB color plus a fade time. This driver registers a LED class instance with additional sysfs attributes to support basic functions such as setting RGB colors, fade and playing. Other functions are still accessible through the hidraw interface. At this time, the only documentation for the device is the firmware source code from ThingM, plus a few schematics. They are available at: https://github.com/todbot/blink1 This patch is version 3. It updates the name of the source file, the driver and the led sysfs entry, according to comments from Jiri Kosina and Simon Wood.

First, it provides creators (devices and filesystems) of a backing_dev_info a flag that declares whether or not it is necessary to ensure that page contents cannot change during writeout. It is no longer assumed that this is true of all devices (which was never true anyway). Second, the flag is used to relaxed the wait_on_page_writeback calls so that wait only occurs if the device needs it. Third, it fixes up the remaining disk-backed filesystems to use this improved conditional-wait logic to provide stable page writes on those filesystems. It is hoped that (for people not using checksumming devices, anyway) this patchset will give back unnecessary performance decreases since the original stable page write patchset went into 3.0. Sorry about not fixing it sooner. Complaints were registered by several people about the long write latencies introduced by the original stable page write patchset. Generally speaking, the kernel ought to allocate as little extra memory as possible to facilitate writeout, but for people who simply cannot wait, a second page stability strategy is (re)introduced: snapshotting page contents. The waiting behavior is still the default strategy; to enable page snapshotting, a superblock flag (MS_SNAP_STABLE) must be set. This flag is used to bandaid^Henable stable page writeback on ext3[1], and is not used anywhere else. Given that there are already a few storage devices and network FSes that have rolled their own page stability wait/page snapshot code, it would be nice to move towards consolidating all of these. It seems possible that iscsi and raid5 may wish to use the new stable page write support to enable zero-copy writeout. Thank you to Jan Kara for helping fix a couple more filesystems. Per Andrew Morton's request, here are the result of using dbench to measure latencies on ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat ---------------------------------------- WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817 ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391 Flush 15514 29.828 287.283 Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273 ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112 Flush 14982 30.540 298.634 Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms As you can see, for ext2 the maximum write latency decreases from ~60ms on a laptop hard disk to ~4ms. I'm not sure why the flush latencies increase, though I suspect that being able to dirty pages faster gives the flusher more work to do.

The network filesystems were left to do their own thing, so they'd wait too. After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they provide their own wait code, or they don't block at all. The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk requiring stable page writes. This patchset has been tested on 3.8.0-rc3 on x64 with ext3, ext4, and xfs. I've spot-checked 3.8.0-rc4 and seem to be getting the same results as -rc3. [1] The alternative fixes to ext3 include fixing the locking order and page bit handling like we did for ext4 (but then why not just use ext4?), or setting PG_writeback so early that ext3 becomes extremely slow. I tried that, but the number of write()s I could initiate dropped by nearly an order of magnitude. That was a bit much even for the author of the stable page series! :) This patch: Creates a per-backing-device flag that tracks whether or not pages must be held immutable during writeout. Eventually it will be used to waive wait_for_page_writeback() if nothing requires stable pages. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

If, for example, the policy contains an ext4 measurement rule, the rule is enabled for all ext4 partitions. Sometimes it might be necessary to enable measurement/appraisal/audit only for one partition and disable it for another partition of the same type. With the existing IMA policy syntax, this can not be done. This patch provides support for IMA policy rules to specify the file system by its UUID (eg. fsuuid=397449cd-687d-4145-8698-7fed4a3e0363). For partitions not being appraised, it might be a good idea to mount file systems with the 'noexec' option to prevent executing non-verified binaries.

This driver registers most of its devices and exposes sysfs attributes for information such as jumpers' state or presence of some of its options. This driver currently registers the TS-5500 platform, its on-board LED, 2 pin blocks (GPIO) and its analog/digital converter. It can be extended to support other Technologic Systems products, such as the TS-5600.

Changelog[v4]: [Jiri Olsa]: Mention that multiple event= like terms can be specified in the 'events' file. [Jiri Olsa]: Remove the documentation for the 'config format' file as it is already documented in 'Documentation/ABI/testing/'.
