fsnotify: unified filesystem notification backend
fsnotify is a backend for filesystem notification. fsnotify does
not provide any userspace interface but does provide the basis
needed for other notification schemes such as dnotify. fsnotify
can be extended to be the backend for inotify or the upcoming
fanotify. fsnotify provides a mechanism for "groups" to register for
some set of filesystem events and to then deliver those events to
those groups for processing.
fsnotify has a number of benefits, the first being actually shrinking the size
of an inode. Before fsnotify to support both dnotify and inotify an inode had
unsigned long i_dnotify_mask; /* Directory notify events */
struct dnotify_struct *i_dnotify; /* for directory notifications */
struct list_head inotify_watches; /* watches on this inode */
struct mutex inotify_mutex; /* protects the watches list
But with fsnotify this same functionallity (and more) is done with just
__u32 i_fsnotify_mask; /* all events for this inode */
struct hlist_head i_fsnotify_mark_entries; /* marks on this inode */
That's right, inotify, dnotify, and fanotify all in 64 bits. We used that
much space just in inotify_watches alone, before this patch set.
fsnotify object lifetime and locking is MUCH better than what we have today.
inotify locking is incredibly complex. See 8f7b0ba1c8539 as an example of
what's been busted since inception. inotify needs to know internal semantics
of superblock destruction and unmounting to function. The inode pinning and
vfs contortions are horrible.
no fsnotify implementers do allocation under locks. This means things like f04b30de3 which (due to an overabundance of caution) changes GFP_KERNEL to
GFP_NOFS can be reverted. There are no longer any allocation rules when using
or implementing your own fsnotify listener.
fsnotify paves the way for fanotify. In brief fanotify is a notification
mechanism that delivers the lisener both an 'event' and an open file descriptor
to the object in question. This means that fanotify is pathname agnostic.
Some on lkml may not care for the original companies or users that pushed for
TALPA, but fanotify was designed with flexibility and input for other users in
mind. The readahead group expressed interest in fanotify as it could be used
to profile disk access on boot without breaking the audit system. The desktop
search groups have also expressed interest in fanotify as it solves a number
of the race conditions and problems present with managing inotify when more
than a limited number of specific files are of interest. fanotify can provide
for a userspace access control system which makes it a clean interface for AV
vendors to hook without trying to do binary patching on the syscall table,
LSM, and everywhere else they do their things today. With this patch series
fanotify can be implemented in less than 1200 lines of easy to review code.
Almost all of which is the socket based user interface.
This patch series builds fsnotify to the point that it can implement
dnotify and inotify_user. Patches exist and will be sent soon after
acceptance to finish the in kernel inotify conversion (audit) and implement
fanotify.

sierra: driver interface blacklisting
Interface blacklisting is necessary for non-serial interfaces that are handled
by a different driver. The interface blacklisting is implemented in sierra
driver per device. Each device in need of a blacklist has a static information
array kept in the driver. This array contains the interface numbers that are
blacklisted. The pointer for each blacklist array and the length
of that blacklist are 'bundled' in data structure sierra_iface_info. A pointer
to this information is set in id_table when the device is added to the id_table.
The following is summary of changes we have made to sierra.c driver in
this patch dealing with interface blacklisting support:
- Added data structure sierra_iface_info and function is_blacklisted()
to support blacklisting
- Modified sierra_probe() to handle blacklisted interfaces accordingly

so keeping them split seems unhelpful
Merge fixes done versus other conflicting changes and moved the
spin_lock_init from open to setup time -- Alan]
Summary of the changes and code re-organization in this patch:
- The memory for urbs is allocated and urbs are submitted only for the active
interfaces (instead of pre-allocating these for all interfaces). This will
save memory especially in the case of using composite devices.
- The code has been re-organized and functionality has been extracted from
sierra_startup(), sierra_shutdown(), sierra_open(), sierra_close() and added
in helper functions sierra_release_urb(), sierra_stop_rx_urbs(),
sierra_submit_rx_urbs() and sierra_setup_urb()
- Added function sierra_release_urb() to free an urb and its transfer
buffer.
- Removed unecessary include file reference and comment.
- Added function sierra_stop_rx_urbs() that takes care of the release of
receive and interrupt urbs. This function is to be called by sierra_close()
whenever an interface is de-activated.
- Added new function sierra_submit_rx_urbs() that handles the submission of
receive urbs and interrupt urbs (if any) during the interface activation.
This function is to be called by sierra_open(). Added a second parameter to
pass the memory allocation (as suggested by Oliver Neukum) so that this
function can be used in post_reset() and resume().
- Added new function sierra_setup_urb() that contains the functionality to
allocate an urb, fill bulk urb using the supplied memory allocation flag
and release urb upon error. Added parameter so that the caller pass the
memory allocation flag for flexibility.
- Moved sierra_close() before sierra_open() to resolve dependencies
introduced by the code reorganization.
- Modified sierra_close() to call sierra_stop_rx_urbs() and
sierra_release_urb() functions added in previous patch.
- Modified sierra_open() to call sierra_setup_urb() and sierra_submit_rx_urbs()
functions; note urbs are allocated and submitted for each activated interface.
- Modified sierra_startup() so that allocation of urbs happens whenever an
interface is activated (urb allocation is moved to sierra_open()).
- Modified sierra_shutdown() so that urbs are freed whenever an interface is
de-activated (urb freeing moved to sierra_close() as shown in previous patch
from the series)
- Removed unecessary data structure from sierra_port_private_data
- Suppress an entry in logs by not re-submitting an urb when usb_submit_urb()
returns -EPERM, as this shows that usb_kill_urb() is running (as suggested by
Oliver Neukum)

tty: rewrite the ldisc locking
There are several pretty much unfixable races in the old ldisc code, especially
with respect to pty behaviour and also to hangup. It's easier to rewrite the
code than simply try and patch it up.
This patch
- splits the ldisc from the tty (so we will be able to refcount it more cleanly
later)
- introduces a mutex lock for ldisc changing on an active device
- fixes the complete mess that hangup caused
- implements hopefully correct setldisc/close/hangup locking
There are still some problems around pty pairs that have always been there but
at least it is now possible to understand the code and fix further problems.
This fixes the following known bugs
- hang up can leak ldisc references
- hang up may not call open/close on ldisc in a matched way
- pty/tty pairs can deadlock during an ldisc change
- reading the ldisc proc files can cause every ldisc to be loaded
and probably a few other of the mysterious ldisc race reports.
I'm sure it also adds the odd new one.

tty: throttling race fix
The tty throttling code can race due to the lock drops. It takes very high
loads but this has been observed and verified by Rob Duncan.
The basic problem is that on an SMP box we can go
CPU #1 CPU #2
need to throttle ?
suppose we should buffer space cleared
are we throttled
yes ? - unthrottle
call throttle method
This changeet take the termios lock to protect against this. The termios
lock isn't the initial obvious candidate but many implementations of throttle
methods already need to poke around their own termios structures (and nobody
really locks them against a racing change of flow control).
This does mean that anyone who is setting tty->low_latency = 1 and then
calling tty_flip_buffer_push from their unthrottle method is going to end up
collapsing in a pile of locks. However we've removed all the known bogus
users of low_latency = 1 and such use isn't safe anyway for other reasons so
catching it would be an improvement.

block: add request clone interface (v2)
This patch adds the following 2 interfaces for request-stacking drivers:
- blk_rq_prep_clone(struct request *clone, struct request *orig,
struct bio_set *bs, gfp_t gfp_mask,
int (*bio_ctr)(struct bio *, struct bio*, void *),
void *data)
* Clones bios in the original request to the clone request
(bio_ctr is called for each cloned bios.)
* Copies attributes of the original request to the clone request.
The actual data parts (e.g. ->cmd, ->buffer, ->sense) are not
copied.
- blk_rq_unprep_clone(struct request *clone)
* Frees cloned bios from the clone request.
Request stacking drivers (e.g. request-based dm) need to make a clone
request for a submitted request and dispatch it to other devices.
To allocate request for the clone, request stacking drivers may not
be able to use blk_get_request() because the allocation may be done
in an irq-disabled context.
So blk_rq_prep_clone() takes a request allocated by the caller
as an argument.
For each clone bio in the clone request, request stacking drivers
should be able to set up their own completion handler.
So blk_rq_prep_clone() takes a callback function which is called
for each clone bio, and a pointer for private data which is passed
to the callback.
NOTE:
blk_rq_prep_clone() doesn't copy any actual data of the original
request. Pages are shared between original bios and cloned bios.
So caller must not complete the original request before the clone
request.
