[SCSI] ibmvfc: Improve ADISC timeout handling
The ibmvfc driver currently breaks the CRQ and essentially
resets the entire virtual FC adapter, killing all outstanding
ops to all attached targets, if an ADISC times out during target
discover/rediscovery. This patch adds some code to cancel the
ADISC if it times out, which prevents a single ADISC timeout from
affecting the other devices attached to the fabric.

[SCSI] ibmvfc: Fix dropped interrupts
This patch fixes a problem of possible dropped interrupts. Currently,
the ibmvfc driver has a race condition where after ibmvfc_interrupt
gets run, the platform code clears the interrupt. This can result in
lost interrupts and, in worst case scenarios, result in command
timeouts. Fix this by implementing a tasklet similar to what the
ibmvscsi driver does so that interrupt processing is no longer done in
the actual interrupt handler, which eliminates the race.

Factor out #ifdefs from kernel/spinlock.c to LOCK_CONTENDED_FLAGS
SGI has observed that on large systems, interrupts are not serviced for a
long period of time when waiting for a rwlock. The following patch series
re-enables irqs while waiting for the lock, resembling the code which is
already there for spinlocks.
I only made the ia64 version, because the patch adds some overhead to the
fast path. I assume there is currently no demand to have this for other
architectures, because the systems are not so large. Of course, the
possibility to implement raw_{read|write}_lock_flags for any architecture
is still there.
This patch:
The new macro LOCK_CONTENDED_FLAGS expands to the correct implementation
depending on the config options, so that IRQ's are re-enabled when
possible, but they remain disabled if CONFIG_LOCKDEP is set.

preadv/pwritev: Add preadv and pwritev system calls.
This patch adds preadv and pwritev system calls. These syscalls are a
pretty straightforward combination of pread and readv (same for write).
They are quite useful for doing vectored I/O in threaded applications.
Using lseek+readv instead opens race windows you'll have to plug with
locking.
Other systems have such system calls too, for example NetBSD, check
here: http://www.daemon-systems.org/man/preadv.2.html
The application-visible interface provided by glibc should look like
this to be compatible to the existing implementations in the *BSD family:
This prototype has one problem though: On 32bit archs is the (64bit)
offset argument unaligned, which the syscall ABI of several archs doesn't
allow to do. At least s390 needs a wrapper in glibc to handle this. As
we'll need a wrappers in glibc anyway I've decided to push problem to
glibc entriely and use a syscall prototype which works without
arch-specific wrappers inside the kernel: The offset argument is
explicitly splitted into two 32bit values.
The patch sports the actual system call implementation and the windup in
the x86 system call tables. Other archs follow as separate patches.

netmos serial/parallel adapters come in different flavour differing only
by the number of parallel and serial ports, which are encoded in the
subdevice ID.
Last fix of Christian Pellegrin for 9855 2P2S broke support for 9855 1P4S,
and works only by side-effect for the first parallel port of a 2P2S, as
this first parallel port is found by reading the second addr entry of
(struct parport_pc_pci) cards[netmos_9855], which is not initialized, and
hence has value 0, which happens to be the BAR of the first parallel port.
netmos_9xx5_combo entry in (struct parport_pc_pci) cards[], which is used
for a 9845 1P4S must also be fixed for the parallel port support when
there are 4 serial ports because this entry currently gives 2 as BAR index
for the parallel port. Actually, in this case, BAR 2 is the 3rd serial
port while the parallel port is at BAR 4.
I fixed 9845 1P4S and 9855 1P4S support, while preserving 9855 2P2S support,
- by creating a netmos_9855_2p entry and using it for 9855 boards with 2
parallel ports : 9855 2P2S and 9855 2P0S boards,
- and by allowing netmos_parallel_init to change not only the number of
parallel ports (0 or 1), but making it also change the BAR index of the
parallel port when the serial ports are before the parallel port.
PS: the netmos_9855_2p entry in (struct pciserial_board)
pci_parport_serial_boards[] is needed because netmos_parallel_init has no
clean way to replace FL_BASE2 by FL_BASE4 in the description of the serial
ports in function of the number of parallel ports on the card.
Tested with 9845 1P4S, 9855 1P4S and 9855 2P2S boards.

pids: refactor vnr/nr_ns helpers to make them safe
Inho, the safety rules for vnr/nr_ns helpers are horrible and buggy.
task_pid_nr_ns(task) needs rcu/tasklist depending on task == current.
As for "special" pids, vnr/nr_ns helpers always need rcu. However, if
task != current, they are unsafe even under rcu lock, we can't trust
task->group_leader without the special checks.
And almost every helper has a callsite which needs a fix.
Also, it is a bit annoying that the implementations of, say,
task_pgrp_vnr() and task_pgrp_nr_ns() are not "symmetrical".
This patch introduces the new helper, __task_pid_nr_ns(), which is always
safe to use, and turns all other helpers into the trivial wrappers.

pids: improve get_task_pid() to fix the unsafe sys_wait4()->task_pgrp()
sys_wait4() does get_pid(task_pgrp(current)), this is not safe. We can
add rcu lock/unlock around, but we already have get_task_pid() which can
be improved to handle the special pids in more reliable manner.

Even if task == current, it is not safe to dereference the result of

special pid via setpgid/setsid.
Document this. The next 2 patches give an example of the unsafe usage, we

ptrace_detach: the wrong wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic
Another ancient bug. Consider this trivial test-case,
int main(void)
{
int pid = fork();
if (pid) {
ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL);
wait(NULL);
ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, pid, NULL, NULL);
} else {
pause();
printf("WE HAVE A KERNEL BUG!!!\n");
}
return 0;
}
the child must not "escape" for sys_pause(), but it can and this was seen
in practice.
This is because ptrace_detach does:
if (!child->exit_state)
wake_up_process(child);
this wakeup can happen after this child has already restarted sys_pause(),
because it gets another wakeup from ptrace_untrace().
With or without this patch, perhaps sys_pause() needs a fix. But this
wakeup also breaks the SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED logic in ptrace_untrace().
Remove this wakeup. The caller saw this task in TASK_TRACED state, and
unless it was SIGKILL'ed in between __ptrace_unlink()->ptrace_untrace()
should handle this case correctly. If it was SIGKILL'ed, we don't need to
wakup the dying tracee too.
forget_original_parent: do not abuse child->ptrace_entry
By discussion with Roland.
- Use ->sibling instead of ->ptrace_entry to chain the need to be
release_task'd childs. Nobody else can use ->sibling, this task
is EXIT_DEAD and nobody can find it on its own list.
- rename ptrace_dead to dead_childs.
- Now that we don't have the "parallel" untrace code, change back
reparent_thread() to return void, pass dead_childs as an argument.
Actually, I don't understand why do we notify /sbin/init when we
reparent a zombie, probably it is better to reap it unconditionally.

If /sbin/init ignores SIGCHLD and we re-parent a zombie, it is leaked.
reparent_thread() does do_notify_parent() which sets ->exit_signal = -1 in
this case. This means that nobody except us can reap it, the detached
task is not visible to do_wait().
Change reparent_thread() to return a boolean (like __pthread_detach) to
indicate that the thread is dead and must be released. Also change
forget_original_parent() to add the child to ptrace_dead list in this
case.

reparent_thread() uses ptrace_reparented() to check whether this thread is
ptraced, in that case we should not notify the new parent.
But ptrace_reparented() is not exactly correct when the reparented thread
is traced by /sbin/init, because forget_original_parent() has already
changed ->real_parent.
Currently, the only problem is the false notification. But with the next
patch the kernel crash in this (yes, pathological) case.

reparent_thread: don't call kill_orphaned_pgrp() if task_detached()
If task_detached(p) == T, then either
a) p is not the main thread, we will find the group leader on the
->children list.
or
b) p is the group leader but its ->exit_state = EXIT_DEAD. This
can only happen when the last sub-thread has died, but in that case
that thread has already called kill_orphaned_pgrp() from
exit_notify().
In both cases kill_orphaned_pgrp() looks bogus.
Move the task_detached() check up and simplify the code, this is also
right from the "common sense" pov: we should do nothing with the detached
childs, except move them to the new parent's ->children list.

When ptrace_detach() takes tasklist, the tracee can be SIGKILL'ed. If it
has already passed exit_notify() we can leak a zombie, because a) ptracing
disables the auto-reaping logic, and b) ->real_parent was not notified
about the child's death.
ptrace_detach() should follow the ptrace_exit's logic, change the code
accordingly.
ignoring_children() takes parent->sighand->siglock and checks
k_sigaction[SIGCHLD] atomically. But this buys nothing, we can't get the
"really" wrong result even if we race with sigaction(SIGCHLD). If we read
the "stale" sa_handler/sa_flags we can pretend it was changed right after
the check.
Remove spin_lock(->siglock), and kill "int ign" which caches the result of
ignoring_children() which becomes rather trivial.
Perhaps it makes sense to export this helper, do_notify_parent() can use
it too.
Move the code from __ptrace_detach() to its single caller and kill this
helper.
Also, fix the ->exit_state check, we shouldn't wake up EXIT_DEAD tasks.
Actually, I think task_is_stopped_or_traced() makes more sense, but this
needs another patch.

Normally SIG_DFL signals to global and container-init are dropped early.
But if a signal is blocked when it is posted, we cannot drop the signal
since the receiver may install a handler before unblocking the signal.
Once this signal is queued however, the receiver container-init has no way
of knowing if the signal was sent from an ancestor or descendant
namespace. This patch ensures that contianer-init drops all SIG_DFL
signals in get_signal_to_deliver() except SIGKILL/SIGSTOP.
If SIGSTOP/SIGKILL originate from a descendant of container-init they are
never queued (i.e dropped in sig_ignored() in an earler patch).
If SIGSTOP/SIGKILL originate from parent namespace, the signal is queued
and container-init processes the signal.
IOW, if get_signal_to_deliver() sees a sig_kernel_only() signal for global
or container-init, the signal must have been generated internally or must
have come from an ancestor ns and we process the signal.
Further, the signal_group_exit() check was needed to cover the case of a
multi-threaded init sending SIGKILL to other threads when doing an exit()
or exec(). But since the new sig_kernel_only() check covers the SIGKILL,
the signal_group_exit() check is no longer needed and can be removed.
Finally, now that we have all pieces in place, set SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE for
container-inits.

signals: zap_pid_ns_process() should use force_sig()
send_signal() assumes that signals with SEND_SIG_PRIV are generated from
within the same namespace. So any nested container-init processes become
immune to the SIGKILL generated by kill_proc_info() in
zap_pid_ns_processes().
Use force_sig() in zap_pid_ns_processes() instead - force_sig() clears the
SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag ensuring the signal is processed by

signals: protect cinit from unblocked SIG_DFL signals
Drop early any SIG_DFL or SIG_IGN signals to container-init from within

if they are from an ancestor container.
Blocked, fatal signals (i.e when SIG_DFL is to terminate) from within the
container can still terminate the container-init. That will be addressed
in the next patch.
Note: To be bisect-safe, SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE will be set for container-inits
in a follow-on patch. Until then, this patch is just a preparatory

signals: add from_ancestor_ns parameter to send_signal()
send_signal() (or its helper) needs to determine the pid namespace of the
sender. But a signal sent via kill_pid_info_as_uid() comes from within
the kernel and send_signal() does not need to determine the pid namespace
of the sender. So define a helper for send_signal() which takes an
additional parameter, 'from_ancestor_ns' and have kill_pid_info_as_uid()
use that helper directly.
The 'from_ancestor_ns' parameter will be used in a follow-on patch.

(This is a modified version of the patch submitted by Oleg Nesterov
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/18/249 and tries to address comments that
came up in that discussion)
init ignores the SIG_DFL signals but we queue them anyway, including
SIGKILL. This is mostly OK, the signal will be dropped silently when
dequeued, but the pending SIGKILL has 2 bad implications:
- it implies fatal_signal_pending(), so we confuse things
like wait_for_completion_killable/lock_page_killable.
- for the sub-namespace inits, the pending SIGKILL can
mask (legacy_queue) the subsequent SIGKILL from the
parent namespace which must kill cinit reliably.
(preparation, cinits don't have SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE yet)
The patch can't help when init is ptraced, but ptracing of init is not
"safe" anyway.
