      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull nfsd changes from Bruce Fields:
      
      Highlights:
       - Benny Halevy and Tigran Mkrtchyan implemented some more 4.1 features,
         moving us closer to a complete 4.1 implementation.
       - Bernd Schubert fixed a long-standing problem with readdir cookies on
         ext2/3/4.
       - Jeff Layton performed a long-overdue overhaul of the server reboot
         recovery code which will allow us to deprecate the current code (a
         rather unusual user of the vfs), and give us some needed flexibility
         for further improvements.
       - Like the client, we now support numeric uid's and gid's in the
         auth_sys case, allowing easier upgrades from NFSv2/v3 to v4.x.
      
      Plus miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanup.
      
      Thanks to everyone!
      
      There are also some delegation fixes waiting on vfs review that I
      suppose will have to wait for 3.5.  With that done I think we'll finally
      turn off the "EXPERIMENTAL" dependency for v4 (though that's mostly
      symbolic as it's been on by default in distro's for a while).
      
      And the list of 4.1 todo's should be achievable for 3.5 as well:
      
         http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues
      
      though we may still want a bit more experience with it before turning it
      on by default.

      Commit 025c5b24
      
       ("thp: optimize away unnecessary page table
      locking") moves spin_lock() into pmd_trans_huge_lock() in order to avoid
      locking unless pmd is for thp.  So this spin_lock() is a bug.

      Looking at hibernate overwriting I though it looked like a cursor,
      so I tracked down this missing piece to stop the cursor blink
      timer. I've no idea if this is sufficient to fix the hibernate
      problems people are seeing, but please test it.
      
      Both radeon and nouveau have done this for a long time.

      mm: move hugepage test examples to tools/testing/selftests/vm · f0f57b2b
      Dave Young authored
      
      
      hugepage-mmap.c, hugepage-shm.c and map_hugetlb.c in Documentation/vm are
      simple pass/fail tests, It's better to promote them to
      tools/testing/selftests.
      
      Thanks suggestion of Andrew Morton about this.  They all need firstly
      setting up proper nr_hugepages and hugepage-mmap need to mount hugetlbfs.
      So I add a shell script run_vmtests to do such work which will call the
      three test programs and check the return value of them.
      
      Changes to original code including below:
      a. add run_vmtests script
      b. return error when read_bytes mismatch with writed bytes.
      c. coding style fixes: do not use assignment in if condition

      mm: move page-types.c from Documentation to tools/vm · c6dd897f
      Dave Young authored
      
      
      tools/ is the better place for vm tools which are used by many people.
      Moving them to tools also make them open to more users instead of hide in
      Documentation folder.
      
      This patch moves page-types.c to tools/vm/page-types.c.  Also add a
      Makefile in tools/vm and fix two coding style problems: a) change const
      arrary to 'const char * const', b) change a space to tab for indent.

      selftests: launch individual selftests from the main Makefile · f467f714
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      
      
      Remove the run_tests script and launch the selftests by calling "make
      run_tests" from the selftests top directory instead.  This delegates to
      the Makefile in each selftest directory, where it is decided how to launch
      the local test.
      
      This removes the need to add each selftest directory to the now removed
      "run_tests" top script.

      radix-tree: use iterators in find_get_pages* functions · 0fc9d104
      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored
      
      
      Replace radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot() and
      radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot() in page-cache lookup functions with
      brand-new radix-tree direct iterating.  This avoids the double-scanning
      and pointer copying.
      
      Iterator don't stop after nr_pages page-get fails in a row, it continue
      lookup till the radix-tree end.  Thus we can safely remove these restart
      conditions.
      
      Unfortunately, old implementation didn't forbid nr_pages == 0, this corner
      case does not fit into new code, so the patch adds an extra check at the
      beginning.

      radix-tree: introduce bit-optimized iterator · 78c1d784
      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored
      A series of radix tree cleanups, and usage of them in the core pagecache
      code.
      
      Micro-benchmark:
      
      lookup 14 slots (typical page-vector size)
      in radix-tree there earch <step> slot filled and tagged
      before/after - nsec per full scan through tree
      
      * Intel Sandy Bridge i7-2620M 4Mb L3
      New code always faster
      
      * AMD Athlon 6000+ 2x1Mb L2, without L3
      New code generally faster,
      Minor degradation (marked with "*") for huge sparse trees
      
      * i386 on Sandy Bridge
      New code faster for common cases: tagged and dense trees.
      Some degradations for non-tagged lookup on sparse trees.
      
      Ideally, there might help __ffs() analog for searching first non-zero
      long element in array, gcc sometimes cannot optimize this loop corretly.

      This patch:
      
      Implement a clean, simple and effective radix-tree iteration routine.
      
      Iterating divided into two phases:
      * lookup next chunk in radix-tree leaf node
      * iterating through slots in this chunk
      
      Main iterator function radix_tree_next_chunk() returns pointer to first
      slot, and stores in the struct radix_tree_iter index of next-to-last slot.
       For tagged-iterating it also constuct bitmask of tags for retunted chunk.
       All additional logic implemented as static-inline functions and macroses.
      
      Also adds radix_tree_find_next_bit() static-inline variant of
      find_next_bit() optimized for small constant size arrays, because
      find_next_bit() too heavy for searching in an array with one/two long
      elements.

      pidns: add reboot_pid_ns() to handle the reboot syscall · cf3f8921
      Daniel Lezcano authored
      
      
      In the case of a child pid namespace, rebooting the system does not really
      makes sense.  When the pid namespace is used in conjunction with the other
      namespaces in order to create a linux container, the reboot syscall leads
      to some problems.
      
      A container can reboot the host.  That can be fixed by dropping the
      sys_reboot capability but we are unable to correctly to poweroff/
      halt/reboot a container and the container stays stuck at the shutdown time
      with the container's init process waiting indefinitively.
      
      After several attempts, no solution from userspace was found to reliabily
      handle the shutdown from a container.
      
      This patch propose to make the init process of the child pid namespace to
      exit with a signal status set to : SIGINT if the child pid namespace
      called "halt/poweroff" and SIGHUP if the child pid namespace called
      "reboot".  When the reboot syscall is called and we are not in the initial
      pid namespace, we kill the pid namespace for "HALT", "POWEROFF",
      "RESTART", and "RESTART2".  Otherwise we return EINVAL.
      
      Returning EINVAL is also an easy way to check if this feature is supported
      by the kernel when invoking another 'reboot' option like CAD.
      
      By this way the parent process of the child pid namespace knows if it
      rebooted or not and can take the right decision.

      sysctl: use bitmap library functions · 5a04cca6
      Akinobu Mita authored
      
      
      Use bitmap_set() instead of using set_bit() for each bit.  This conversion
      is valid because the bitmap is private in the function call and atomic
      bitops were unnecessary.
      
      This also includes minor change.
      - Use bitmap_copy() for shorter typing

      ipmi: use locks on watchdog timeout set on reboot · 423a5bb4
      Corey Minyard authored
      
      
      The IPMI watchdog timer clears or extends the timer on reboot/shutdown.
      It was using the non-locking routine for setting the watchdog timer, but
      this was causing race conditions.  Instead, use the locking version to
      avoid the races.  It seems to work fine.

      ipmi: simplify locking · f60adf42
      Corey Minyard authored
      
      
      Now that the the IPMI driver is using a tasklet, we can simplify the
      locking in the driver and get rid of the message lock.

      ipmi: fix message handling during panics · 895dcfd1
      Corey Minyard authored
      
      
      The part of the IPMI driver that delivered panic information to the event
      log and extended the watchdog timeout during a panic was not properly
      handling the messages.  It used static messages to avoid allocation, but
      wasn't properly waiting for these, or wasn't properly handling the
      refcounts.

      ipmi: use a tasklet for handling received messages · 7adf579c
      Corey Minyard authored
      
      
      The IPMI driver would release a lock, deliver a message, then relock.
      This is obviously ugly, and this patch converts the message handler
      interface to use a tasklet to schedule work.  This lets the receive
      handler be called from an interrupt handler with interrupts enabled.

      ipmi: increase KCS timeouts · 828dc9da
      Matthew Garrett authored
      
      
      We currently time out and retry KCS transactions after 1 second of waiting
      for IBF or OBF.  This appears to be too short for some hardware.  The IPMI
      spec says "All system software wait loops should include error timeouts.
      For simplicity, such timeouts are not shown explicitly in the flow
      diagrams.  A five-second timeout or greater is recommended".  Change the
      timeout to five seconds to satisfy the slow hardware.

      ipmi: decrease the IPMI message transaction time in interrupt mode · b88e7693
      Srinivas_Gowda authored
      
      
      Call the event handler immediately after starting the next message.
      
      This change considerably decreases the IPMI transaction time (cuts off
      ~9ms for a single ipmitool transaction).
