Use memdup_user when user data is immediately copied into the

<title>[SCSI] implement runtime Power Management</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bc4f24014de58f045f169742701a6598884d93db</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch (as1398b) adds runtime PM support to the SCSI layer.  Only
the machanism is provided; use of it is up to the various high-level
drivers, and the patch doesn't change any of them.  Except for sg --
the patch expicitly prevents a device from being runtime-suspended
while its sg device file is open.

The implementation is simplistic.  In general, hosts and targets are
automatically suspended when all their children are asleep, but for
them the runtime-suspend code doesn't actually do anything.  (A host's
runtime PM status is propagated up the device tree, though, so a
runtime-PM-aware lower-level driver could power down the host adapter
hardware at the appropriate times.)  There are comments indicating
where a transport class might be notified or some other hooks added.

LUNs are runtime-suspended by calling the drivers' existing suspend
handlers (and likewise for runtime-resume).  Somewhat arbitrarily, the
implementation delays for 100 ms before suspending an eligible LUN.
This is because there typically are occasions during bootup when the
same device file is opened and closed several times in quick
succession.

The way this all works is that the SCSI core increments a device's
PM-usage count when it is registered.  If a high-level driver does
nothing then the device will not be eligible for runtime-suspend
because of the elevated usage count.  If a high-level driver wants to
use runtime PM then it can call scsi_autopm_put_device() in its probe
routine to decrement the usage count and scsi_autopm_get_device() in
its remove routine to restore the original count.

Hosts, targets, and LUNs are not suspended while they are being probed
or removed, or while the error handler is running.  In fact, a fairly
large part of the patch consists of code to make sure that things
aren't suspended at such times.

After blk_rq_map_user is successful, if we find that a device is
unavailable (was detached), we must call blk_end_request_all to free
bio(s) before blk_rq_unmap_user and blk_put_request.

<title>include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h</title>
<updated>2010-03-30T13:02:32Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Tejun Heo</name>
</author>
<published>2010-03-24T08:04:11Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05'/>
<id>urn:sha1:5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05</id>
<content type='text'>
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 -&gt; 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.

<content type='text'>
Running sg_luns on s390x with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC enabled fails
with EFAULT from the SG_IO ioctl. The EFAULT is the result from
copy_to_user failing in this call chain:

sg_ioctl
sg_new_read
sg_finish_rem_req
blk_rq_unmap_user
__blk_rq_unmap_user
bio_uncopy_user
__bio_copy_iov
copy_to_user

The sg driver calls sg_remove_scat to free the memory pages before
calling blk_rq_unmap_user that tries to copy the data back to
userspace. Change the order to first call blk_rq_unmap_user before
freeing the pages in sg_remove_scat.
