Task Control Groups: basic task cgroup framework
Generic Process Control Groups
--------------------------
There have recently been various proposals floating around for
resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in
the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy
cgroups, and others. These all need the basic abstraction of being
able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to
track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control
other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in
different ways.
This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes
into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those
groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an
aggregate.
The intention is that the various resource management and
virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup
clients, with the result that:
- the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised
- it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in
conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of
them as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system.
- the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource
management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn't need
to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their
chances of getting into the kernel
This patch:
Add the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the
basic structures for tracking membership and associating subsystem state
objects to tasks.

cpuset: zero malloc - revert the old cpuset fix
The cpuset code to present a list of tasks using a cpuset to user space could
write to an array that it had kmalloc'd, after a kmalloc request of zero size.
The problem was that the code didn't check for writes past the allocated end
of the array until -after- the first write.
This is a race condition that is likely rare -- it would only show up if a
cpuset went from being empty to having a task in it, during the brief time
between the allocation and the first write.
Prior to roughly 2.6.22 kernels, this was also a benign problem, because a
zero kmalloc returned a few usable bytes anyway, and no harm was done with the
bogus write.
With the 2.6.22 kernel changes to make issue a warning if code tries to write
to the location returned from a zero size allocation, this problem is no
longer benign. This cpuset code would occassionally trigger that warning.
The fix is trivial -- check before storing into the array, not after, whether
the array is big enough to hold the store.

Implement support for file systems larger than 8 TiB.
The reiserfs superblock contains a 16 bit value for counting the number of

blocks, but the bitmap block limitation artificially limits this to 8 TiB with

Rather than trust the superblock's 16-bit bitmap block count, we calculate it
dynamically based on the number of blocks in the file system. When an
incorrect value is observed in the superblock, it is zeroed out, ensuring that
older kernels will not be able to mount the file system.

JBD: Fix JBD warnings when compiling with CONFIG_JBD_DEBUG
Note from Mingming's JBD2 fix:
Noticed all warnings are occurs when the debug level is 0. Then found the
"jbd2: Move jbd2-debug file to debugfs" patch
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0f49d5d019afa4e94253bfc92f0daca3badb990b
changed the jbd2_journal_enable_debug from int type to u8, makes the
jbd_debug comparision is always true when the debugging level is 0. Thus
the compile warning occurs.
Thought about changing the jbd2_journal_enable_debug data type back to int,
but can't, because the jbd2-debug is moved to debug fs, where calling
debugfs_create_u8() to create the debugfs entry needs the value to be u8
type.
Even if we changed the data type back to int, the code is still buggy,
kernel should not print jbd2 debug message if the jbd2_journal_enable_debug
is set to 0. But this is not the case.
The fix is change the level of debugging to 1. The same should fixed in
ext3/JBD, but currently ext3 jbd-debug via /proc fs is broken, so we
probably should fix it all together.

Console keyboard events and accessibility
Some blind people use a kernel engine called Speakup which uses hardware
synthesis to speak what gets displayed on the screen. They use the
PC keyboard to control this engine (start/stop, accelerate, ...) and
also need to get keyboard feedback (to make sure to know what they are
typing, the caps lock status, etc.)
Up to now, the way it was done was very ugly. Below is a patch to add a
notifier list for permitting a far better implementation, see ChangeLog
above for details.
You may wonder why this can't be done at the input layer. The problem
is that what people want to monitor is the console keyboard, i.e. all
input keyboards that got attached to the console, and with the currently
active keymap (i.e. keysyms, not only keycodes).
This adds a keyboard notifier that such modules can use to get the keyboard
events and possibly eat them, at several stages:
- keycodes: even before translation into keysym.
- unbound keycodes: when no keysym is bound.
- unicode: when the keycode would get translated into a unicode character.
- keysym: when the keycode would get translated into a keysym.
- post_keysym: after the keysym got interpreted, so as to see the result
(caps lock, etc.)
This also provides access to k_handler so as to permit simulation of
keypresses.

I/OAT: clean up of dca provider start and stop
Don't start ioat_dca if ioat_dma didn't start, and then stop ioat_dca

The removal of proc entries was done holding a lock, which is no longer

IPMI: new NMI handling
Convert over to the new NMI handling for getting IPMI watchdog timeouts via an
NMI. This add config options to know if there is the ability to receive NMIs
and if it has an NMI post processing call. Then it modifies the IPMI watchdog
to take advantage of this so that it can know if an NMI comes in.
It also adds testing that the IPMI NMI watchdog works.

IPMI: remove bogus semaphore from watchdog
Lockdep was giving an error when loading the IPMI watchdog module. It turns
out that if you try to claim a lock in a parameter handling routine, lockdep
won't see that lock as "static" yet because the module is not yet on the
module list, so it will complain.
However, the semaphore in question is completely unnecessary. So just remove
it.

IPMI: don't init irq until ready
Patrick found a race at startup. Interrupts were being enabled for the IPMI
interface before the driver was really ready to handle them. This could
result in an oops if something was pending on the interface at startup and
interrupt were already enabled (technically shouldn't happen, but need to
cover for this in real life). So move the IRQ setup to the code that starts
the actual IPMI processing.

fuse: add blksize field to fuse_attr
There are cases when the filesystem will be passed the buffer from a single
read or write call, namely:
1) in 'direct-io' mode (not O_DIRECT), read/write requests don't go
through the page cache, but go directly to the userspace fs
2) currently buffered writes are done with single page requests, but
if Nick's ->perform_write() patch goes it, it will be possible to
do larger write requests. But only if the original write() was
also bigger than a page.
In these cases the filesystem might want to give a hint to the app
about the optimal I/O size.
Allow the userspace filesystem to supply a blksize value to be returned by
stat() and friends. If the field is zero, it defaults to the old
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE value.

fuse: add list of writable files to fuse_inode
Each WRITE request must carry a valid file descriptor. When a page is written
back from a memory mapping, the file through which the page was dirtied is not
available, so a new mechananism is needed to find a suitable file in
->writepage(s).
A list of fuse_files is added to fuse_inode. The file is removed from the
list in fuse_release().
This patch is in preparation for writable mmap support.
