2018-02-12vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacementLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done. Scripted-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Some embedded systems use hibernation for fast boot. and in it, some software components need to handle specific things before hibernation and after restore. So it needs to capture the apm status about these pm events. Currently apm just supports suspend to ram, but not suspend to disk, so here add logic about hibernation apm events.

2012-04-03APM: fix deadlock in APM_IOC_SUSPEND ioctlNeilBrown1-1/+1
I found the Xorg server on my ARM device stuck in the 'msleep()' loop in apm_ioctl. I suspect it had attempted suspend immediately after resuming and lost a race. During that msleep(10);, a new suspend cycle must have started and changed ->suspend_state to SUSPEND_PENDING, so it was never seen to be SUSPEND_DONE and the loop could never exited. It would have moved on to SUSPEND_ACKTO but never been able to reach SUSPEND_DONE. So change the loop to only run while SUSPEND_ACKED rather than until SUSPEND_DONE. This is much safer.

2011-08-23apm-emulation: use wait_event_freezable() instead of freezer_[do_not_]count()Tejun Heo1-10/+6
vfork is moving away from freezer_[do_not_]count() one way or the other leaving apm_ioctl() as the only user. apm_ioctl() just wants to wait for suspend/resume cycle to complete without hindering the freezer. Use wait_event_freezable() instead. The only annoyance is that wait_event_freezable() wakes up with -ERESTART if there are pending signals while apm_ioctl() wants to ignore all signals until suspend is complete. We can play with @current->[real_]blocked but this is hardly a performance or latency critical path - simply chill a bit on each iteration until SUSPEND_DONE for unlikely cases where there are pending signals.

2011-05-23apm-emulation: apm_mutex breaks ACK; remove itPaul Parsons1-5/+0
apm_mutex is locked by a process (e.g. apm -s) at the start of apm_ioctl() and remains locked while pm_suspend() is called. Any subsequent process trying to ACK the suspend (e.g. apmd) is then blocked at the start of apm_ioctl(), causing the suspend to be delayed for 5 seconds in apm_suspend_notifier() while the ACK times out. In short, ACKs don't work. The driver's data structures are sufficiently protected by assorted locks. And pm_suspend() has its own mutex to prevent reentrancy. Consequently there is no obvious requirement for apm_mutex, which evolved from earlier BKL calls. So let's remove it. Signed-off-by: Paul Parsons <lost.distance@yahoo.com> Acked-by: Rafael J.

2010-10-15llseek: automatically add .llseek fopArnd Bergmann1-0/+1
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a .llseek pointer. The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...

2010-10-05drivers: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutexArnd Bergmann1-5/+6
All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial way to serialize their private file operations, typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic pushdown from VFS. None of these drivers appears to want to lock against other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level lock in their file operations, meaning that there is no lock-order inversion problem. Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely, replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case. Using a scripted approach means we can avoid typos. These drivers do not seem to be under active maintainance from my brief investigation. Apologies to those maintainers that I have missed. file=$1 name=$2 if grep -q lock_kernel ${file} ; then if grep -q 'include.*linux.mutex.h' ${file} ; then sed -i '/include.*<linux\/smp_lock.h>/d' ${file} else sed -i 's/include.*<linux\/smp_lock.h>.*$/include <linux\/mutex.h>/g' ${file} fi sed -i ${file} \ -e "/^#include.*linux.mutex.h/,$ { 1,/^\(static\|int\|long\)/ { /^\(static\|int\|long\)/istatic DEFINE_MUTEX(${name}_mutex); } }" \ -e "s/\(un\)*lock_kernel\>[ ]*()/mutex_\1lock(\&${name}_mutex)/g" \ -e '/[ ]*cycle_kernel_lock();/d' else sed -i -e '/include.*\<smp_lock.h\>/d' ${file} \ -e '/cycle_kernel_lock()/d' fi Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Move the definition of 'struct pm_ops' and related functions from <linux/pm.h> to <linux/suspend.h> . There are, at least, the following reasons to do that: * 'struct pm_ops' is specifically related to suspend and not to the power management in general. * As long as 'struct pm_ops' is defined in <linux/pm.h>, any modification of it causes the entire kernel to be recompiled, which is unnecessary and annoying. * Some suspend-related features are already defined in <linux/suspend.h>, so it is logical to move the definition of 'struct pm_ops' into there. * 'struct hibernation_ops', being the hibernation-related counterpart of 'struct pm_ops', is defined in <linux/suspend.h> .

2007-07-17Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki1-11/+1
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
