* Revert "ceph: update issue_seq on cap grant"Sage Weil2010-10-271-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit d91f2438d881514e4a923fd786dbd94b764a9440. The intent of issue_seq is to distinguish between mds->client messages that (re)create the cap and those that do not, which means we should _only_ be updating that value in the create paths. By updating it in handle_cap_grant, we reset it to zero, which then breaks release. The larger question is what workload/problem made me think it should be updated here...

* ceph: do not carry i_lock for readdir from dcacheSage Weil2010-10-202-26/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | We were taking dcache_lock inside of i_lock, which introduces a dependency not found elsewhere in the kernel, complicationg the vfs locking scalability work. Since we don't actually need it here anyway, remove it. We only need i_lock to test for the I_COMPLETE flag, so be careful to do so without dcache_lock held.

| | | | | | | | | | | | The rados block device (rbd), based on osdblk, creates a block device that is backed by objects stored in the Ceph distributed object storage cluster.

* ceph: factor out libceph from Ceph file systemYehuda Sadeh2010-10-2073-1838/+2566
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This factors out protocol and low-level storage parts of ceph into a separate libceph module living in net/ceph and include/linux/ceph. This is mostly a matter of moving files around. However, a few key pieces of the interface change as well: - ceph_client becomes ceph_fs_client and ceph_client, where the latter captures the mon and osd clients, and the fs_client gets the mds client and file system specific pieces. - Mount option parsing and debugfs setup is correspondingly broken into two pieces. - The mon client gets a generic handler callback for otherwise unknown messages (mds map, in this case). - The basic supported/required feature bits can be expanded (and are by ceph_fs_client). No functional change, aside from some subtle error handling cases that got cleaned up in the refactoring process. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>

* Un-inline the core-dump helper functionsLinus Torvalds2010-10-142-32/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit 0eead9ab41da ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes. Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense. dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway, and none of them are in any way performance-critical. And we really don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already are.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At least one board using the FEC driver does not have a conventional PHY attached to it, it is directly connected to a somewhat simple ethernet switch (the board is the SnapGear/LITE, and the attached 4-port ethernet switch is a RealTek RTL8305). This switch does not present the usual register interface of a PHY, it presents nothing. So a PHY scan will find nothing - it finds ID's of 0 for each PHY on the attached MII bus. After the FEC driver was changed to use phylib for supporting PHYs it no longer works on this particular board/switch setup. Add code support to use a fixed phy if no PHY is found on the MII bus. This is based on the way the cpmac.c driver solved this same problem. Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer <gerg@uclinux.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping code). Just remove it. Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write(). It probably doesn't matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ... [ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of calling ->write directly. That also does the whole fsnotify and write statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ] And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even compile) Reported-by: akiphie <akiphie@lavabit.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Each page of the ring buffer holds a full 64 bit timestamp. Each event has a 27 bit delta stamp from the last event. The unit of time is nanoseconds, so 27 bits can hold ~134 milliseconds. If two events happen more than 134 milliseconds apart, a time extend is inserted to add more bits for the delta. The time extend has 59 bits, which is good for ~18 years. Currently the time extend is committed separately from the event. If an event is discarded before it is committed, due to filtering, the time extend still exists. If all events are being filtered, then after ~134 milliseconds a new time extend will be added to the buffer. This can only happen till the end of the page. Since each page holds a full timestamp, there is no reason to add a time extend to the beginning of a page. Time extends can only fill a page that has actual data at the beginning, so there is no fear that time extends will fill more than a page without any data. When reading an event, a loop is made to skip over time extends since they are only used to maintain the time stamp and are never given to the caller. As a paranoid check to prevent the loop running forever, with the knowledge that time extends may only fill a page, a check is made that tests the iteration of the loop, and if the iteration is more than the number of time extends that can fit in a page a warning is printed and the ring buffer is disabled (all of ftrace is also disabled with it). There is another event type that is called a TIMESTAMP which can hold 64 bits of data in the theoretical case that two events happen 18 years apart. This code has not been implemented, but the name of this event exists, as well as the structure for it. The size of a TIMESTAMP is 16 bytes, where as a time extend is only 8 bytes. The macro used to calculate how many time extends can fit on a page used the TIMESTAMP size instead of the time extend size cutting the amount in half. The following test case can easily trigger the warning since we only need to have half the page filled with time extends to trigger the warning: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/ # echo function > current_tracer # echo 'common_pid < 0' > events/ftrace/function/filter # echo > trace # echo 1 > trace_marker # sleep 120 # cat trace Enabling the function tracer and then setting the filter to only trace functions where the process id is negative (no events), then clearing the trace buffer to ensure that we have nothing in the buffer, then write to trace_marker to add an event to the beginning of a page, sleep for 2 minutes (only 35 seconds is probably needed, but this guarantees the bug), and then finally reading the trace which will trigger the bug. This patch fixes the typo and prevents the false positive of that warning. Reported-by: Hans J. Koch <hjk@linutronix.de> Tested-by: Hans J.
