Consider how many ad-croc usages of 'restorecon' are needed to get a Fedora SELinux box through rc.sysinit: While I don't think restorecon is really necessary to properly boot SELinux-enabled (I've got a Debian box with some heavily customized policy which does so just fine), I am of the opinion that adding a "name" parameter to the file/directory create actions would be useful. For example, with such support you could actually specify a type-transition rule conditional on a specific name or substring: named_type_transition sshd_t tmp_t:sock_file prefix "ssh-" ssh_sock_t; Useful options for matching would be "prefix", "suffix", "substr (start,len)". "regex" would be nice but is sorta computationally intensive and would be likely to cause more problems than it solves. /sbin/restorecon -R /dev 2>/dev/null [ -n "$SELINUX_STATE" ] && restorecon /dev/mapper /dev/mapper/ control >/dev/null 2>&1 These can go away if you modify your policy and pass "-o fscontext=system_u:object_r:dev_t" to the mount command for the /dev tmpfs, changing both the filesystem and the default directory labels from the default "system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t". This will work as long as your policy files contain appropriate transitions from the dev_t type. REBOOTFLAG=`restorecon -v /sbin/init` restorecon /etc/mtab /etc/ld.so.cache /etc/blkid/blkid.tab /etc/ resolv.conf >/dev/null 2>&1 [ -n "$SELINUX_STATE" ] && restorecon /tmp [ -n "$SELINUX_STATE" ] && restorecon /tmp/.ICE-unix >/dev/null 2>&1 I believe these are to handle rebooting from non-SELinux mode. There are two solutions to this kind of problem: (1) Failing the boot if the labels are wrong (2) Fixing the labels (and rebooting if necessary) It would appear that FC does the latter, although for certain high- security systems (such as firewalls handling classified/confidential data), the first option is the only acceptable one. [ -n "$SELINUX_STATE" ] && restorecon /dev/pts >/dev/null 2>&1 I think this can be handled with some combination of appropriate SELinux policy and mount options. At least, I don't need this in the boot scripts on my heavily customized Debian SELinux box. [ -n "$SELINUX_STATE" -a -e "$path" ] && restorecon -R "$path" I don't know what the point of this generic line is; but I certainly don't have anything of the sort on my test system, and it appears to work just fine. And that's just getting the system up to single-user. Things like sendmail and sshd require more restorecon handholding in their rc.init files. Or just look at the creeping horror that is 'restorecond' (in particular, consider that the default restorcond.conf contains the strings '~/public_html' and '~/.mozilla/plugins/ libflashplayer.so'. Yee. Frikkin. Hah. ;) Part of the reason that Fedora has a large quantity of that restorecon and restorecond crap is that there is a certain amount of broken binary software needing executable stack/heap (such as flashplayer), programs without comprehensive or complete policies, or programs which by definition need extra support for SELinux. For example, to really complete the SELinux model you need editors and tools which understand security labels the same way they understand UNIX permissions. With a bit of vim scripting I can probably make it run external commands to read file labels before it reads the file itself and modify /proc/self/attr/fscreate before writing out the file, similar to the way it would keep track of the standard DAC permissions on files it modifies. There's also the fact that corporate products have fixed release schedules so remaining bugs in each release tend to get papered over instead of fixed properly (such as the restorecon in FC init- scripts). I haven't seen many problems with the SELinux model which aren't associated with working around buggy software or missing features.

[PATCH] Add Marvell 6141 PATA support to AHCI driver
Here is a patch against 2.6.22-rc3 that adds support for both the PATA
and SATA portions of the Marvell AHCI-like chip.
The architecture for PATA is quite nice, mimicing AHCI very closely.
Basic port scanning, interrupt handling, freezing and thawing is the
same, and uses the same register offets.
This is completely untested code. But it looks like it should work :)
Engineering questions I need to bounce back to Marvell:
* do I need to worry about PIO/UDMA timing? I don't see any registers
or other knobs dealing with timing. Maybe the controller snoops?
* it appears that I don't have to worry about device selection, that
the controller will handle this for me. But I want to make sure.
* figure out controller commands. these are poorly documented.
controller commands are how one directly accesses the PATA device's
command and control registers, and are necessary to do things like
SRST. Currently the driver only does hard reset.
This is checked into the 'mv-ahci-pata' branch of

Re: [2.6.21.1] resume doesn't run suspended kernel?
Bill Davidsen wrote: I was testing susp2disk in 2.6.21.1 under FC6, to support reliable computing environment (RCE) needs. The idea is that if power fails, after some short time on UPS the system does susp2disk with a time set, and boots back every so often to see if power is stable. No, I don't want susp2mem until I debug it, console come up in useless mode, console as kalidescope is not what I need. Anyway, I pulled the plug on the UPS, and the system shut down. But when it powered up, it booted the default kernel rather than the test kernel, decided that it couldn't resume, and then did a cold boot. I can bypass this by making the debug kernel the default, but WHY? Is the kernel not saved such that any kernel can be rolled back into memory and run? Actually, the answer is HELL NO, so I really ask if this is the intended mode of operation, that only the default boot kernel will restore. Fedora scripts for hibernation are supposed to tell GRUB to set the default kernel on the next boot to be the current one before suspending to disk, so that it comes up with the same version it was running and the resume can succeed. If the way you're triggering the suspend bypasses this mechanism, you'll see this problem. -- Robert Hancock Saskatoon, SK, Canada To email, remove "nospam" from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Page: http://www.roberthancock.com/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Oops, right, I was overlooking that check.
This is a little strange, though--if there's somebody waiting for a
write lock on an inode (because somebody else already holds a read lock
on it), that shouldn't block requests for read locks.

(1) Object labeling has a assumption that labels are always properly defined and maintained. This can not be easily achieved. That's a circular argument, and a fairly trivial one at that. If you can't properly manage your labels, then how do you expect any security at all? If you can't manage your "labels", then pathname- based security won't work either. This is analogous to saying "Pathname-based security has an assumption that path-permissions are always properly defined and maintained", which is equally obvious. If you can't achieve the first with reasonable security, then you probably can't achieve the second either. Also, if you can't manage correct object labeling then I'm very interested in how you are maintaining secure Linux systems without standard DAC. (2) Also, assigning a label is something like inventing and assigning a *new* name (label name) to objects which can cause flaws. I don't understand how assigning new attributes to objects "can cause flaws", nor what flaws those might be; could you elaborate further? In particular, I don't see how this is really all that more complicated than defining additional access control in apache .htaccess files. The principle is the same: by stacking multiple independent security-verification mechanisms (Classical UNIX DAC and Apache permissions) you can increase security, albeit at an increased management cost. You might also note that ".htaccess" files are yet another form of successful "label-based" security; the security context for a directory depends on the .htaccess "label" file found within. The *exact* same principles apply to SELinux: you add additional attributes backed by a simple and powerful state- machine. The cross-checks are lower-level than those from .htaccess files, but the principles are the same.

Okay, thanks Adrian. I didn't realize I was making a mistake. I've
been waiting for the below patch to make it upstream, but it landed
in stable first, so I guess there's a regression as you indicate. My

I think that faced with cpu affinity use by the system administrator that smpnice will tend towards a task to cpu allocation that is (close to) the best that can be achieved without violating the cpu affinity assignments. (It may take a little longer than normal but it should get there eventually.) You have to assume that the system administrator knows what (s)he's doing and is willing to accept the impact of their policy decision on the overall system performance. Having said that, if it was deemed necessary you could probably increase the speed at which the load balancer converged on a good result in the face of cpu affinity by keeping a "pinned weighted load" value for each run queue and using that to modify find_busiest_group() and find_busiest_queue() to be a bit smarter. But I'm not sure that it would be worth the added complexity. Just in case anyone was looking for algorithms... Lag should be considered in lieu of load because lag What's the definition of lag here? is what the scheduler is trying to minimize; This isn't always the case. Some may prefer fairness to minimal lag. Others may prefer particular tasks to receive preferential treatment. load is not directly relevant, but appears to have some sort of relationship. Also, instead of pinned, unpinned should be considered. If you have total and pinned you can get unpinned. It's probably cheaper to maintain data for pinned than unpinned as there's less of it on normal systems. It's unpinned that load balancing can actually migrate. True but see previous comment. Using the signed minimax pseudonorm (i.e. the highest signed lag, where positive is higher than all negative regardless of magnitude) on unpinned lags yields a rather natural load balancing algorithm consisting of migrating from highest to lowest signed lag, with progressively longer periods for periodic balancing across progressively higher levels of hierarchy in sched_domains etc. as usual. Basically skip over pinned tasks as far as lag goes. The trick with all that comes when tasks are pinned within a set of cpus (especially crossing sched_domains) instead of to a single cpu. Yes, this makes the cost of maintaining the required data higher which makes keeping pinned data more attractive than unpinned. BTW keeping data for sets of CPU affinities could cause problems as the number of possible sets is quite large (being 2 to the power of the number of CPUs). So you need an algorithm based on pinned data for single CPUs that knows the pinning isn't necessarily exclusive rather than one based on sets of CPUs. As I understand it (which may be wrong), the mechanism you describe below takes that approach. There one can just consider a cpu to enter a periodic load balance cycle, and then consider pushing and pulling, perhaps what could be called the "exchange lags" for the pair of cpus. That would be the minimax lag pseudonorms for the tasks migratable to both cpus of the pair. That makes the notion of moving things from highest to lowest lag (where load is now considered) unambiguous apart from whether all this converges, but not when to actually try to load balance vs. when not to, or when it's urgent vs. when it should be done periodically. To clarify that, an O(cpus**2) notion appears to be necessary, namely the largest exchange lag differential between any pair of cpus. There is also the open question of whether moving tasks between cpus with the highest exchange lag differential will actually reduce it or whether it runs the risk of increasing it by creating a larger exchange lag differential between different pairs of cpus. A similar open question is raised by localizing balancing decisions to sched_domains. What remains clear is that any such movement reduces the worst-case lag in the whole system. Because of that, the worst-case lag in the whole system monotonically decreases as balancing decisions are made, and that much is subject to an infinite descent argument. Unfortunately, determining the largest exchange lag differential appears to be more complex than merely finding the highest and lowest lags. Bipartite forms of the problem also arise from sched_domains. I doubt anyone's really paying any sort of attention, so I'll not really bother working out much more in the way of details with respect to load balancing. It may be that there are better ways to communicate algorithmic notions than prose descriptions. However, it's doubtful I'll produce anything in a timely enough fashion to attract or hold interest. The smpnice affair is better phrased in terms of task weighting. It's simple to honor nice in such an arrangement. First unravel the grouping hierarchy

I doubt it will matter - I don't think we are marking the inode dirty at
the right point.
The change that was at fault modifies the way we update the file
size on the inode. We added an in-memory copy of the file size to
the in-memory copy of the disk inode's file size that we already
keep. We now only update the disk inode's (in memory copy) file size
on I/O completion. Because the generic code writes the inode out
before waiting for I/O to complete, the old file size gets written
out instead of the new one.
If the write was to extending the file into an existing block there
would be no delalloc transaction to redirty the inode (happens on
log I/O completion). Hence when the I/O completes and the file size
gets updated to the in-core disk inode (which is marked dirty), the
linux inode remains clean. As a result, a sync will never flush the
inode to get the updated file size to disk.
What I don't understand is that on unmount dirty xfs inodes get
written out. Clearly this is not happening - either there's a hole
in the writeback logic (unlikely - it was unchanged) or we've missed
some case where we need to update the filesize and mark the inode
dirty.
H - if the write was just a short append to the file, then the
block that was written to should already be mapped. Then we'll just
look up the extent by doing a BMAPI_READ lookup, set the type to
IOMAP_READ and add the block to ioend we are building.
The type IOMAP_READ determines the I/O completion behaviour - in this case
it is xfs_end_bio_read(), which fails to update the file size
Bingo.
A patch for you to try, Jeremy. I've just started a test run on it...
Cheers,
Dave.

True, on sparc64 PCI-E controllers, for example, the MSI vector is received by the PCI-E host controller, and the host controller turns this into a cpu format interrupt packet for the system bus. I guess on IRQ pin starved systems, the PCI-E host controller or something similar would get interrogated by the cpu for the MSI vector number. I don't want to be the person who has to code up support for that, as it's not easy to shim mid-level vectoring into the generic IRQ layer currently. I'd love to be able to do that on sparc64 instead of what arch/sparc64/kernel/pci_sun4v.c's pci_sun4v_msi_prehandler() is doing.

It doesn't matter if it's embedded or not. Trying to share what is the equivalent to an "edge triggered" interrupt is futile.

Oops. Yes. It used to be inside the lock_kernel() section, but has since

AFS does not, as far as I know. Upgrades are dangerous anyway as you can get
deadlock quite easily.

Locally, yes. 'if (list_empty(&vnode->pending_locks))' covers it quite
handily. I can't do anything about checking the server.

[PATCH] convert sata_qstor to new libata EH
This patch is an attempt to convert sata_qstor over to new EH.
It compiles, but I have not tested it. If anyone is willing to give
it an "it talks to the disks" test that would be great.
This is checked into the 'new-eh' branch of libata. Review requested.

[PATCH] Remove the last few UMSDOS leftovers
(sorry about the long Cc: list for such a trivial patch, but I wanted to
include everyone who's stuff I'm changing)
The UMSDOS filesystem was removed back in 2.6.11, but some tiny bits
stuck around. This patch removes the few leftovers.
The only things left behind after this are the entries in the CREDITS file
and the ioctl number in Documentation/ioctl-number.txt as documentation.

Do the changes > below sound like everything we need? > How does the kernel specify what memory it requires to be mapped (both for the image itself, and for any memory it needs to use to decompress/relocate the final kernel image). If its by using ELF Phdrs, then we need to: 1. specify the constraints on what mappings are allowed, 2. specify how the bootloader uses the mappings, and 3. specify how the ELF file is to be found. If the bzImage is really a plain ELF file, then 3 is a non-issue. Otherwise, should we allocate a field which specifies the offset of the ELF header within the bzImage, and make all offsets contained in the ELF header relative to the header itself rather than the overall bzImage? As far as 1 and 2 go, I propose: Requirements on the Phdrs in the image: 1. the Phdrs must map the actual bzImage code and data, with appropriate filesz and memsz 2. the Phdrs must also map all the other memory needed to decompress/relocate the kernel, with filesz=0 and memsz set appropriately 3. the Phdr mappings must always be 1:1 (ie, P=V), and RW(X) 4. the mappings must be as low as possible, to avoid any hole the hypervisor requires (if the mappings are too high, the bootloader may just fail to start the kernel) Requirements for the bootloader: 1. it is always correct for the bootloader to simply leave paging disabled; presumably the subarch will tell the kernel that it needs to set up its own initial mappings 2. if paging is enabled, the bootloader creates mappings: 1. with PAE set to match the kernel's requirements (this suggests that loadflags should have a PAE/non-PAE flag) 2. all mappings are RWX (ie, RW, no NX) [ rationale: this means we don't need to deal with pages of different types/permissions at this stage of booting, which might be especially awkward when recycling pages ] 3. mappings covering at least the ones specified by the Phdrs, but it is acceptible to over-map (for example, map the entire address space) 4. Other non-1:1 mappings may exist outside the image's Phdrs (for example, containing the initial pagetables, hypervisor address space, and other mappings) > Field name: loadflags > Type:modify (obligatory) > Offset/size: 0x211/1 > Protocol:2.00+ > >This field is a bitmask. > >Bit 0 (read): LOADED_HIGH > - If 0, the protected-mode code is loaded at 0x1. > - If 1, the protected-mode code is loaded at 0x10. > + Bit 5 (read): PAE mode +If the bootloader starts kernel with paging enabled, then: +- if 0, enable non-PAE mode paging +- if 1, enable PAE mode paging > + Bit 6 (write): KEEP_SEGMENTS > + Protocol: 2.07+ > + - if 0, reload the segment registers in the 32bit entry point. > So does this mean the bootloader has set up a kernel-compatible GDT?

(This is how traditional Unix DAC has always functioned, and is what SELinux does: object labeling). Object labeling (or labeled security) looks simple and straight forward way, but it's not. (1) Object labeling has a assumption that labels are always properly defined and maintained. This can not be easily achieved. (2) Also, assigning a label is something like inventing and assigning a *new* name (label name) to objects which can cause flaws. I'm not saying labeled security or SELinux is wrong. I just wanted to remind that the important part is the "process" not the "result". :-) -- Toshiharu Harada [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
[PATCH] convert pdc_adma to new libata EH
This patch is an attempt to convert pdc_adma over to new EH. It
compiles, but I have not tested it. If anyone is willing to give it an
"it talks to the disks" test that would be great.
This hardware is -mostly- compatible with the docs on
http://www.T13.org/ (look for d1510r1) according to Mark, IIRC.
This is checked into the 'new-eh' branch of libata. Review requested.

Aside from the obvious, consider a server that needs to do a little bit of work on each of 1,000 clients on a single CPU system. With a thread-per-client approach, 1,000 context switches will be needed. With an epoll thread pool approach, none are needed and five or six are typical. Both get you the major advantages of threading. You can take full advantage of multiple CPUs. You can write code that blocks occasionally without bringing the whole server down. A page fault doesn't stall your whole server.

As I pointed out, if you wanted to trust the argv[0] value (which I understand AppArmor makes no claims about) and you wanted to use the argv[0] value to determine application behavior (which several people claim is a Bad Idea) you could use Name Based Access Control to provide different access to the common binary.

Fair enough, I don't believe that an argv[0] check ought to be used as a security mechanism. I am not convinced that everyone would agree with us.

It is likely architecture dependant whether the PCI controller wires unique MSI interrupts to shared cpu interrupt lines.

[2.6.21.1] resume doesn't run suspended kernel?
I was testing susp2disk in 2.6.21.1 under FC6, to support reliable computing environment (RCE) needs. The idea is that if power fails, after some short time on UPS the system does susp2disk with a time set, and boots back every so often to see if power is stable. No, I don't want susp2mem until I debug it, console come up in useless mode, console as kalidescope is not what I need. Anyway, I pulled the plug on the UPS, and the system shut down. But when it powered up, it booted the default kernel rather than the test kernel, decided that it couldn't resume, and then did a cold boot. I can bypass this by making the debug kernel the default, but WHY? Is the kernel not saved such that any kernel can be rolled back into memory and run? Actually, the answer is HELL NO, so I really ask if this is the intended mode of operation, that only the default boot kernel will restore. -- Bill Davidsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

I just thought that there has been no outcome at all. I will try to be patient as long as I do not dig into kernel hacking myself deeply enough to be able to help with that - did not do more than to put together two conflicting patches to compile my own kernels till now and forward port a patch for a sundance network card. I can help with testing once there is something testable tough.

[RFC][PATCH][EXPERIMENTAL] Make kernel threads nonfreezable by default
Hi, Following the "Freezing of kernel threads" discussion (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/5/12/162) I have created a patch that changes the freezer's behavior with respect to kernel threads. Namely, with the patch applied all kernel threads are nonfreezable by default (have PF_NOFREEZE set) and the ones that want to be frozen need to call set_freezable() (which clears PF_NOFREEZE for them) and try_to_freeze(). The other (nonfreezable) kernel threads don't need to call try_to_freeze() any more. I have removed try_to_freeze() from a handful of kernel threads that I think need not be freezable, but in many cases I wasn't quite sure whether or not it was a good idea to change the current behavior. For this reason I've added set_freezable() to the majority of (currently freezable) kernel threads that belong to device drivers and filesystems. Of course, I have removed the setting of PF_NOFREEZE from the kernel threads that are currently nonfreezable, since with the other changes in the patch it isn't necessary any more. This patch is on top of the "Freezer: Avoid freezing kernel threads prematurely" patch that I posted yestarday, available at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/5/25/199 (updated version that applies cleanly on top of 2.6.22-rc3, is available at http://www.sisk.pl/kernel/hibernation_and_suspend/2.6.22-rc3/patches/07-freezer-avoid-freezing-kernel-threads-prematurely.patch). It has been tested on a couple of machines and doesn't seem to break anything. [As you can see there are quite a lot of files affected, so I didn't add all maintainers of them to the CC list. In fact, I'm not sure how to handle notifying them of the change, so please advise.] Greetings, Rafael Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

[stable][PATCH] pci: quirk disable MSI on via vt3351
The Via VT3351 APIC does not play well with MSI and unleashes a flood of APIC errors when MSI is used to deliver interrupts. The problem was recently exposed when the atl1 network device driver, which enables MSI by default, stimulated APIC errors on an Asus M2V mainboard, which employs the Via VT3351.

Everyone just needs to cool down. And you both (Uwe and Michael) just
need to try debugging the problem.
Abstracting the SSB code into a library is clearly the correct solution,
rather than having the same code in two separate places. The whole
_point_ of having code in various trees (wireless, mm, etc) is to find
these bugs before the patches hit mainline. Even testing on > 3
machines may not uncover subtle bugs (for example, different behavior on
different silicon revisions, especially in reverse-engineered parts),
it's only something Michael can test so far before other people have to
pick it up and test it. And that's where you come in, Uwe.
So both of you should actually just stop the name-calling, suck it up,
and debug the problem. We're getting nothing done here.

YES! And I wonder TOO, definitely!
Quand meme (now, if you do not speak french: Above all that), I applied your
patch against 2.6.22-rc2-mm1. Just to show my cooperation willing to get
your "dream" being fulfilled!
Result is: No change!
Non-functionable b44-device at all!
Hint: Although being a "non-hacker" or "non-developer" I do have stepped
across some experienced developer people who at least added some code to make
their modules function in the following way:
modprobe xyz debug=1 (or debug=2 or debug=3 or debug=4 or debug=5 or debug=6)
In so far, if you continue to state that debugging is nothing but guessing
around wildly you are definitely wrong, showing us all your missing code
hacker experience. If you DO continue like this every step will be a torture
not only for me but for the reading folks as well.
But every human being is here to learn and develop: In so far I am very
optimistic!
Apart from the Kconfig chaos that seems to be subordinate in your personal
rating scale, you at least could have added some functions like the above
mentioned functions.
The fact that you simply ignored to imply those functions and continue to call
other people dumb shows exactly how small and humble you are.
Apart from that:
The message that you rooted to my place was no "proof" at all for any kind of
disfunctionality or compatibility issue!
In that message the lack of performance of the "enclosed" or "old"
or "complete" b44 module (i. e. PCI-only module) was criticised, NOT the one
ripped by you personally into two modules called b44 and ssb.
In so far I would deeply appreciate you personally to stick to the facts in
your personal lack of knowledge about the b44 driver instead of playing bad
politics against other people like me and others.
Hello my dear Andrew Morton,
Could you please do me and the rest of the world two favours?
A. Rip Michael Buesches code out of the mm-tree
B. Give Michael Buesch a fair chance to revise his disfunctionable code
outside the mm-tree and / or the vanilla mainline.
Side note for the what and why:
I like to help avoid dangers by testing the mm-tree.
BUT:
If real debugging conforms to nothing but guessing around wildly let me tell
you that I do not appreciate to be part of that torture due to the lack of
experience of some German spare time hacker.
A: proven by facts not knowing or even wanting to know how to imply
appropriate functionable debug parametres in his driver code
B: non-cooperative as far as Kconfig help features are concerned (i. E. help
to understand the issues for users
C: calling all people simply dumb who do not know about his personal issues at
all
Thank you, Andrew Morton! You are real fine!
Sincerely
Uwe

This only difference I see is that he is testing with an NCQ-capable disk, and I am not -- which could be a very significant difference. Dave also appears to have an NCQ-capable disk. Dave's output (sent privately to me) was different -- errors and corruption -- rather than the BUG_ON/WARN_ON stuff both he and dean sent in March 2007, which is interesting.

udev regression? lsusb silent (no output) since 2.6.22-rc2 at least

The outcome was, more-or-less, that we'll work on merging suspend2 or at least some parts of it. However, in the meantime there have been some discussions implying that we have some important problems with suspend/hibernation that suspend2 doesn't solve and that IMHO are more urgent than the merging of suspend2 right not. So, as far as I'm concerned, the plan is to fix the more urgent problems first and to work on merging suspend2 as far as there's time to do this. The problem is there are only a few people working on it and there's a lot to do, so I can only ask you to be patient. ;-) Greetings, Rafael - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Assuming the device supports multiple MSI-X messages. > What i read from the specs: 6.2 Message Signals Interrupts The MSI logic is responsible for generating the MSI messages.MSI is an optional feature in PCI Express that enables a device to request a service by writing a system-specified message to a system-specified address (PCI Express DWORD memory write transaction). The write transaction address specifies the MSI message destination and the write transaction data specifies the message including a message “ID”. During device configuration, system software reads the capability list of the logic core to find out whether it supports MSI, and if yes how many different MSI messages it is requesting. Using the multiple message feature allows an PCI Express device to give different MSI messages a unique message ID (e.g. an MSI message initiated by interrupt source #1 gets a different message ID than an MSI message initiated by interrupt source#2). The max. number of requested MSI messages is 32 and must be aligned to a power of two (1,2,4,8,16, or 32). The core will be configured for 32 requested messages, but optionally the default setting of 32 requested messages can be modified by the BOOT logic immediately after power-on-reset (i.e. before device configuration). After reading the capability list, system software initializes the following parameters: - Multiple Message Enable field Defines the number of allowed messages, which is either all or a subsetof the number of requested messages. For example, a PCI Express device can request 4messages and be allocated either four, two, or one message. The number of messages requested and allocated are aligned to a power of two (a PCI Express device that requires three messages must request four) - MSI message destination address Defines the (physical) message destination address of MSI messages. - MSI message data Defines the message data of MSI messages. The main features of the MSI logic are: • MSI capability - 32 different messages - programmable ID in MSI message data field - programmable TC in MSI message address field • Support for MSI delay timer • Support for the following interrupt sources: - DMA channel tag_ack (“buffer_done”) interrupts (12x) - DMA channel overflow interrupts (12x) - A/V interrupts (8x) - I2C interrupts (2x) - unmapped_tc interrupt (1x) - external interrupts from GPIO (16x) - all interrupts edge sensitive with programmable edge polarity - round-robin arbitration between multiple, simultaneous interrupt requests • Support for interrupt masking (i.e. enable/disable) • Support for INT-A emulation • DTL-MMIO target interface for SW access - 4Kbyte address aperture (12bit address / 32bit aligned) - 32bit read and write data >> In such a context, if i request for say more than the messages that i >> need, say i request 16 messages, but use only 1 or 2, that does bear any >> consequences ? > > Yes. One is allocating IRQ vectors from a finite number of vectors. > But this normally isn't a problem until one gets to larger machines that > have more than 4-8 PCI-e or PCI-X slots. Ok. Alongwith this, i am a bit confused with the mailbox approach of sending messages, every register type has it's own set of interrupt registers (for example I2C, say I2C has it's own set of 32 STATUS bitfields for it's interrupt, the same goes for the others) Another aspect is the DTL-MMIO interface, which isn't defined any place. Using the base addresses as an offset to the normal MMIO obtained using pci_resource_*/ioremap() doesn't seem to work at all. Seems like it needs some kind of a translation (guessing here, still no clue yet) The device supports 50 MSI interrupt sources Somewhere else it mentions thus: 6.4Global Register (GREG) The logic provides a set of global registers there are accessible via a device transaction level protocol memory mapped input output interface. Primarily, the global registers are used to control and/or observe logic inside the SAA7160 that is not directly accessible via the device status network.

Please don't do this. With ==NULL/!=NULL, it is clear what
could be (integer or pointer) without needing
to look it up. It also reads quite strange: "if not buffer".
For bools ('adjectives' / 'is a'), it works, not so much for ptrs.

well, yes.

Yes.
And I'd also like to mention one rather special case where I'd rather
like to see ==0 than ! for clarity (!strcmp looks like !streq, so
one needs to look twice to get it):
if (!strcmp(hay, needle))
At least don't force the '!' doctrine.

You still didn't get it, right? b44-ssb is a SSB device driver. No PCI, nothing. To get this working on PCI you need to enable the PCI glue. Which is enabled by default. It even includes the comment "Say Y". If you say N nevertheless it's your fault. What's so hard to understand about this? We have LOTS of drivers in the kernel that work _exactly_ the same way. There is a base module to drive the hardware and several glue drivers. If you de-select the glue driver it doesn't work. If you use your old config and do not DISABLE some option you will not experience a regression (at least regarding to the kconfig stuff. There's still your transmission bug left). > Apart from that, it is Michael's task to explain the what and why, not mine > and not yours!

Re: [RFC] LZO de/compression support - take 4
btw - does in-kernel lzo scale on SMP systems ? is it a matter of lzo builtin compression or a matter of the component using in-kernel lzo compression ? if i write/read data on reiser4 filesystem with lzo compression on - will all CPUs being used ? just curious here, because i remember reading about a scale problem with zfs filesystem and gzip compression on solaris, so i'm just curious what to expect on linux. regards roland ps: btw - there is a smp aware lzop utility at lemley.net/lzop_patches/lzop.html Hi, This is kernel port of LZO1X compressor and LZO1X decompressor (safe version only). * Changes since 'take 3' (Full Changelog after this): 1) Removed 'unsafe' decompressor - hence also do away with symlinks in Makefiles. 2) Rolled back changes where I replaced COPY4 with memcpy() calls. This seemed to be causing too much perf. loss as shown by Richard's tests. Need perf. testing again to confirm that this patch has perf. comparable to original LZO code/Richard's patch. 3) Some functions were inlined (DX2, DX3 etc.) - this also seemed to be one of factors for perf. loss. Changed them back Macros. 4) Added back the 'register' keyword - again seemed to me one of factors for perf. loss. Once I pinpoint exact reason for bad perf., I will do above cleanups again. But this should not be reason for non-inclusion in mainline. These are only minor cleanups. Richard, can you please provide perf. results for this patch also? Also, can you please mail back latest version of your LZO patch?

That's nothing but a joke, and if it is a joke : ) it hits well in Mister Buesches direction. In so far it's well-done : ) : ) : ) To be honest: I expect at least TWO explained cases: A. The case in which the b44 module is a PCI module (onboard, additional PCI card etc.). B. At least one well described case in which the b44 module is a bus independent one. Apart from that, it is Michael's task to explain the what and why, not mine and not yours! It is him that wants his stuff being pulled into mainline, and in so far he very well can do the "dirty work" of documentation, explanation. But the issue is: He is not ready to DO that! Only if it fires back!

But I think I have no voting right here.
