fs/pipe: add simpler helpers for common cases

2025-03-07T04:25:35Z

The fix to atomically read the pipe head and tail state when not holding the pipe mutex has caused a number of headaches due to the size change of the involved types. It turns out that we don't have _that_ many places that access these fields directly and were affected, but we have more than we strictly should have, because our low-level helper functions have been designed to have intimate knowledge of how the pipes work. And as a result, that random noise of direct 'pipe->head' and 'pipe->tail' accesses makes it harder to pinpoint any actual potential problem spots remaining. For example, we didn't have a "is the pipe full" helper function, but instead had a "given these pipe buffer indexes and this pipe size, is the pipe full". That's because some low-level pipe code does actually want that much more complicated interface. But most other places literally just want a "is the pipe full" helper, and not having it meant that those places ended up being unnecessarily much too aware of this all. It would have been much better if only the very core pipe code that cared had been the one aware of this all. So let's fix it - better late than never. This just introduces the trivial wrappers for "is this pipe full or empty" and to get how many pipe buffers are used, so that instead of writing if (pipe_full(pipe->head, pipe->tail, pipe->max_usage)) the places that literally just want to know if a pipe is full can just say if (pipe_is_full(pipe)) instead. The existing trivial cases were converted with a 'sed' script. This cuts down on the places that access pipe->head and pipe->tail directly outside of the pipe code (and core splice code) quite a lot. The splice code in particular still revels in doing the direct low-level accesses, and the fuse fuse_dev_splice_write() code also seems a bit unnecessarily eager to go very low-level, but it's at least a bit better than it used to be.

char: misc: deallocate static minor in error path

2025-02-20T14:21:34Z

When creating sysfs files fail, the allocated minor must be freed such that it can be later reused. That is specially harmful for static minor numbers, since those would always fail to register later on.

treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicable

2025-01-28T12:48:37Z

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls, loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net, drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function. Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata. This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the proc_handlers. Created this by running an spatch followed by a sed command: Spatch: virtual patch @ depends on !(file in "net") disable optional_qualifier @ identifier table_name != { watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, iwcm_ctl_table, ucma_ctl_table, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls, loadpin_sysctl_table }; @@ + const struct ctl_table table_name [] = { ... }; sed: sed --in-place \ -e "s/struct ctl_table .table = &uts_kern/const struct ctl_table *table = \&uts_kern/" \ kernel/utsname_sysctl.c Reviewed-by: Song Liu Acked-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) # for kernel/trace/ Reviewed-by: Martin K.

virtio: console: Replace deprecated kmap_atomic with kmap_local_page

2025-01-10T15:12:38Z

kmap_atomic() is deprecated and should be replaced with kmap_local_page() [1][2]. kmap_local_page() is faster in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled, can take page faults, and allows preemption. According to [2], this replacement is safe as long as the code between kmap_atomic() and kunmap_atomic() does not implicitly depend on disabling page faults or preemption. In this patch, the only thing happening between mapping and unmapping the page is a memcpy, and I don't suspect it depends on disabling page faults or preemption.

ipmi: ssif_bmc: Fix new request loss when bmc ready for a response

2025-01-07T15:14:26Z

Cosmo found that when there is a new request comes in while BMC is ready for a response, the complete_response(), which is called to complete the pending response, would accidentally clear out that new request and force ssif_bmc to move back to abort state again. This commit is to address that issue.
