* module: cleanup FIXME comments about trimming exception table entries.Rusty Russell2009-06-1216-32/+0

* module: trim exception table on init free.Rusty Russell2009-06-127-1/+101
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's theoretically possible that there are exception table entries which point into the (freed) init text of modules. These could cause future problems if other modules get loaded into that memory and cause an exception as we'd see the wrong fixup. The only case I know of is kvm-intel.ko (when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n). Amerigo fixed this long-standing FIXME in the x86 version, but this patch is more general. This implements trim_init_extable(); most archs are simple since they use the standard lib/extable.c sort code. Alpha and IA64 use relative addresses in their fixups, so thier trimming is a slight variation. Sparc32 is unique; it doesn't seem to define ARCH_HAS_SORT_EXTABLE, yet it defines its own sort_extable() which overrides the one in lib. It doesn't sort, so we have to mark deleted entries instead of actually trimming them.

* uvesafb: improve parameter handling.Rusty Russell2009-06-121-6/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) Now module_param(..., invbool, ...) requires a bool, and similarly module_param(..., bool, ...) allows it, change pmi_setpal to a bool. 2) #define param_get_scroll to NULL, since it can never be called (perm argument to module_param_named is 0). 3) Return -EINVAL from param_set_scroll if the value is bad, so it's reported. Note that I don't think the old fb_get_options() is required for new drivers: the parameters automatically work as uvesafb.XXX=... anyway.

* module_param: allow 'bool' module_params to be bool, not just int.Rusty Russell2009-06-122-16/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | Impact: API cleanup For historical reasons, 'bool' parameters must be an int, not a bool. But there are around 600 users, so a conversion seems like useless churn. So we use __same_type() to distinguish, and handle both cases. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

| * nilfs2: get rid of bd_mount_sem use from nilfsRyusuke Konishi2009-06-114-9/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This will remove every bd_mount_sem use in nilfs. The intended exclusion control was replaced by the previous patch ("nilfs2: correct exclusion control in nilfs_remount function") for nilfs_remount(), and this patch will replace remains with a new mutex that this inserts in nilfs object.

| * nilfs2: correct exclusion control in nilfs_remount functionRyusuke Konishi2009-06-113-31/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | nilfs_remount() changes mount state of a superblock instance. Even though nilfs accesses other superblock instances during mount or remount, the mount state was not properly protected in nilfs_remount(). Moreover, nilfs_remount() has a lock order reversal problem; nilfs_get_sb() holds: 1. bdev->bd_mount_sem 2. sb->s_umount (sget acquires) and nilfs_remount() holds: 1. sb->s_umount (locked by the caller in vfs) 2. bdev->bd_mount_sem To avoid these problems, this patch divides a semaphore protecting super block instances from nilfs->ns_sem, and applies it to the mount state protection in nilfs_remount(). With this change, bd_mount_sem use is removed from nilfs_remount() and the lock order reversal will be resolved. And the new rw-semaphore, nilfs->ns_super_sem will properly protect the mount state except the modification from nilfs_error function.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This simplifies the test function passed on the remaining sget() callsite in nilfs. Instead of checking mount type (i.e. ro-mount/rw-mount/snapshot mount) in the test function passed to sget(), this patch first looks up the nilfs_sb_info struct which the given mount type matches, and then acquires the super block instance holding the nilfs_sb_info.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This stops using sget() for checking if an r/w-mount or an r/o-mount exists on the device.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This will change the way to obtain nilfs object in nilfs_get_sb() function. Previously, a preliminary sget() call was performed, and the nilfs object was acquired from a super block instance found by the sget() call. This patch, instead, instroduces a new dedicated function find_or_create_nilfs(); as the name implies, the function finds an existent nilfs object from a global list or creates a new one if no object is found on the device.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following EBUSY case in nilfs_get_sb() is meaningless. Indeed, this error code is never returned to the caller. if (!s->s_root) { ... } else if (!(s->s_flags & MS_RDONLY)) { err = -EBUSY; } This simply removes the else case.

This is OK because the filesystem has sole access to the new inode, so it can modify i_state without races (because no other thread should be modifying it, by definition of I_NEW). Ie. a false positive, so remove the warnings. The races are described here 7ef0d7377cb287e08f3ae94cebc919448e1f5dff, which is also where the warnings were introduced.
