scsi_debug: fix do_device_access() with wrap around range
do_device_access() is a function that abstracts copying SG list from/to
ramdisk storage (fake_storep).
It must deal with the ranges exceeding actual fake_storep size, because
such ranges are valid if virtual_gb is set greater than zero, and they
should be treated as fake_storep is repeatedly mirrored up to virtual
size.
Unfortunately, it can't deal with the range which wraps around the end of
fake_storep. A wrap around range is copied by two
sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() calls, but sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() can't
copy from/to in the middle of SG list, therefore the second call can't
copy correctly.
This fixes it by using sg_pcopy_{from,to}_buffer() that can copy from/to
the middle of SG list.
This also simplifies the assignment of sdb->resid in
fill_from_dev_buffer(). Because fill_from_dev_buffer() is now only called
once per command execution cycle. So it is not necessary to take care to
decrease sdb->resid if fill_from_dev_buffer() is called more than once.

This patch set is for adding support for LZ4-compressed Kernel. LZ4 is a
very fast lossless compression algorithm and it also features an extremely
fast decoder [1].
But we have five of decompressors already and one question which does
arise, however, is that of where do we stop adding new ones? This issue
had been discussed and came to the conclusion [2].
Russell King said that we should have:
- one decompressor which is the fastest
- one decompressor for the highest compression ratio
- one popular decompressor (eg conventional gzip)
If we have a replacement one for one of these, then it should do exactly
that: replace it.
The benchmark shows that an 8% increase in image size vs a 66% increase in
decompression speed compared to LZO(which has been known as the fastest
decompressor in the Kernel). Therefore the "fast but may not be small"
compression title has clearly been taken by LZ4 [3].

reset using the Disable Test Mode sequence shown below. The 64-bit ROM
code must be transmitted in the same bit sequence as with the Match ROM
command, i.e., least significant bit first. This precaution is
recommended in parasite power mode (VCC pin connected to GND) as well as

Because of this, nbd-client's persist mode (which tries to reconnect after

partitions/msdos: enumerate also AIX LVM partitions
Graft AIX partitions enumeration into partitions/msdos.c
There is already a AIX disks detection logic in msdos.c. When an AIX disk
has been found, and if configured to, call the aix partitions recognizer.
This avoids removal of AIX disks protection from msdos.c, avoids code
duplication, and ensures that AIX partitions enumeration is called before
plain msdos partitions enumeration.

AIX LVM permits to make "logical volumes" which are made of multiple
slices of multiple disks. The new code allows only access to the "logical

contiguous disk area. The code also detects "logical volumes" made of
multiple slices on the probed disk, but can not describe them to the
partition layer, because the partition layer generic code does not support
that. When such non-contiguous "logical volumes" are detected, a

The SysV sem code tries to move the main spinlock into a seperate cacheline

wait: introduce prepare_to_wait_event()
Add the new helper, prepare_to_wait_event() which should only be used by
wait_event_common/etc.
prepare_to_wait_event() returns -ERESTARTSYS if signal_pending_state() is
true, otherwise it calls prepare_to_wait(). This allows to uninline the
signal-pending checks in wait_event_*.
Also, it can initialize wait->private/func. We do not care they were
already initialized, the values are the same. This also shaves a couple
of insns from the inlined code.
Unlike the previous change, this patch "reliably" shrinks the size of
generated code for every wait_event*() call,
1. 4c663cfc "fix false timeouts when using wait_event_timeout()"
is not enough, wait(wq, true, 0) still returns zero.
__wait_event_timeout() was already fixed but we need the same
logic in wait_event_timeout() if the fast-path check succeeds.
2. wait_event_timeout/__wait_event_timeout interface do not match
wait_event(), you can't use __wait_event_timeout() instead of
wait_event_timeout() if you do not need the fast-path check.
Same for wait_event_interruptible/__wait_event_interruptible,
so this patch cleanups rtlx.c, ip_vs_sync.c, and af_irda.c:
- __wait_event_interruptible(wq, cond, ret);
+ ret = __wait_event_interruptible(wq, cond);
3. wait_event_* macros duplicate the same code.
This patch adds a single helper wait_event_common() which hopefully
does everything right. Compiler optimizes out the "dead" code when
we do not need signal_pending/schedule_timeout.
In particular, wait_even_timeout(true, non_const_timeout) should
generate more code in the non-void context because the patch adds
the additional code to fix the 1st problem.

(likely(p->pid))" and turn it into into the "else" branch. This makes the
process/thread initialization more symmetrical and removes one check.

fork: reorder permissions when violating number of processes limits
When a task is attempting to violate the RLIMIT_NPROC limit we have a
check to see if the task is sufficiently priviledged. The check first
looks at CAP_SYS_ADMIN, then CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, then if the task is uid=0.
A result is that tasks which are allowed by the uid=0 check are first
checked against the security subsystem. This results in the security
subsystem auditting a denial for sys_admin and sys_resource and then the
task passing the uid=0 check.
This patch rearranges the code to first check uid=0, since if we pass that
we shouldn't hit the security system at all. We then check sys_resource,
since it is the smallest capability which will solve the problem. Lastly
we check the fallback everything cap_sysadmin. We don't want to give this
capability many places since it is so powerful.
This will eliminate many of the false positive/needless denial messages we
get when a root task tries to violate the nproc limit. (note that
kthreads count against root, so on a sufficiently large machine we can
actually get past the default limits before any userspace tasks are
launched.)
