include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32Z

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

net: Add MSG_WAITFORONE flag to recvmmsg

2010-03-27T15:29:01Z

Add new flag MSG_WAITFORONE for the recvmmsg() syscall. When this flag is specified for a blocking socket, recvmmsg() will only block until at least 1 packet is available. The default behavior is to block until all vlen packets are available. This flag has no effect on non-blocking sockets or when used in combination with MSG_DONTWAIT.

fs: no games with DCACHE_UNHASHED

2009-12-17T15:51:40Z

Filesystems outside the regular namespace do not have to clear DCACHE_UNHASHED in order to have a working /proc/$pid/fd/XXX. Nothing in proc prevents the fd link from being used if its dentry is not in the hash. Also, it does not get put into the dcache hash if DCACHE_UNHASHED is clear; that depends on the filesystem calling d_add or d_rehash. So delete the misleading comments and needless code.

net/atm: move all compat_ioctl handling to atm/ioctl.c

2009-11-12T03:22:23Z

We have two implementations of the compat_ioctl handling for ATM, the one that we have had for ages in fs/compat_ioctl.c and the one added to net/atm/ioctl.c by David Woodhouse. Unfortunately, both versions are incomplete, and in practice we use a very confusing combination of the two. For ioctl numbers that have the same identifier on 32 and 64 bit systems, we go directly through the compat_ioctl socket operation, for those that differ, we do a conversion in fs/compat_ioctl.c. This patch moves both variants into the vcc_compat_ioctl() function, while preserving the current behaviour. It also kills off the COMPATIBLE_IOCTL definitions that we never use here. Doing it this way is clearly not a good solution, but I hope it is a step into the right direction, so that someone is able to clean up this mess for real.

net/compat: fix dev_ifsioc emulation corner cases

2009-11-12T03:22:22Z

Handling for SIOCSHWTSTAMP is broken on architectures with a split user/kernel address space like s390, because it passes a real user pointer while using set_fs(KERNEL_DS). A similar problem might arise the next time somebody adds code to dev_ifsioc. Split up dev_ifsioc into three separate functions for SIOCSHWTSTAMP, SIOC*IFMAP and all other numbers so we can get rid of set_fs in all potentially affected cases.
