Clean up the pseries scanlog driver's use of procfs:
(1) Don't need to save the proc_dir_entry pointer as we have the filename to
remove with.
(2) Save the scan log buffer pointer in a static variable (there is only one
of it) and don't save it in the PDE (which doesn't have a destructor).

Clean up some of the problems with the rtas_flash driver:
(1) It shouldn't fiddle with the internals of the procfs filesystem (altering
pde->count).
(2) If pid namespaces are in effect, then you can get multiple inodes
connected to a single pde, thereby rendering the pde->count > 2 test
useless.
(3) The pde->count fudging doesn't work for forked, dup'd or cloned file
descriptors, so add static mutexes and use them to wrap access to the
driver through read, write and release methods.
(4) The driver can only handle one device, so allocate most of the data
previously attached to the pde->data as static variables instead (though
allocate the validation data buffer with kmalloc).
(5) We don't need to save the pde pointers as long as we have the filenames
available for removal.
(6) Don't try to multiplex what the update file read method does based on the
filename. Instead provide separate file ops and split the function.
Whilst we're at it, tabulate the procfile information and loop through it when
creating or destroying them rather than manually coding each one.

Use remove_proc_subtree() rather than remove_proc_entry() to remove a
minor-specific drm proc directory and all its children.
Things could theoretically be improved by storing the drm_minor pointer in the
minor-specific dir proc_dir_entry struct data and then scrapping the list of
proc files - but that's shared with the debugfs interface where you can't do
that, so I don't see an easy way of doing it.

Use minor->index to label things, not the name field from the proc_dir_entry
of the /proc/dwm/<minor>/ directory.
Also, use "%u" not "%d" to render the value and use a 12-byte buffer in which
to render the integer, not a 16-byte buffer. The longest string an unsigned
int can give you is 10 chars (4294967295) plus a NUL, so round up to 12 as the
stack is likely to be 4- or 8-byte aligned.

Don't access the proc_dir_entry in ReiserFS's r_open(), r_start() r_show()
procfs interface functions.
ReiserFS stores the ->show() method pointer in PDE->data and the super_block
pointer in PDE->parent->data. This isn't changing.
Currently, ReiserFS passes the PDE pointer into seq_file::private from
r_open() so that r_start() and r_show() can then access it. Instead, use
seq_open_private() to allocate a two-pointer struct that's passed through
seq_file::private and put the ->show() method and the sb pointers in there.

Supply an accessor function for getting the private data from the parent
proc_dir_entry struct of the proc_dir_entry struct associated with an inode.
ReiserFS, for instance, stores the super_block pointer in the proc directory
it makes for that super_block, and a pointer to the respective seq_file show
function in each of the proc files in that directory.
This allows a reduction in the number of file_operations structs, open
functions and seq_operations structs required. The problem otherwise is that
each show function requires two pieces of data but only has storage for one
per PDE (and this has no release function).

Create a dir under /proc/net/r8180/ named for the device and create that
device's files under there. This means that there won't be a problem for
multiple devices in the system (if such is possible) and it means we don't

Using bit fields is dangerous on ppc64/sparc64, as the compiler [1]
uses 64bit instructions to manipulate them.
If the 64bit word includes any atomic_t or spinlock_t, we can lose
critical concurrent changes.
This is happening in af_unix, where unix_sk(sk)->gc_candidate/
gc_maybe_cycle/lock share the same 64bit word.
This leads to fatal deadlock, as one/several cpus spin forever
on a spinlock that will never be available again.
A safer way would be to use a long to store flags.
This way we are sure compiler/arch wont do bad things.
As we own unix_gc_lock spinlock when clearing or setting bits,
we can use the non atomic __set_bit()/__clear_bit().
recursion_level can share the same 64bit location with the spinlock,
as it is set only with this spinlock held.

Without this change, the unintended bits may cause the driver to needlessly

that the old link did not advertise the same capabilities and thus cannot

After some discussion, It seems that a semaphore is the proper mechanism to use

condition exists for semaphores (save for the fact that the non blocking api
calls, like up and down_trylock must be used when in irq context).

Commit f91eb62f71b3 ("init: scream bloody murder if interrupts are
enabled too early") added three new warnings. The first two seemed
reasonable, but the third included a warning when an initcall returned
non-zero. Although, the third WARN() does include an imbalanced preempt
disabled, or irqs disable, it shouldn't warn if it only had an initcall
that just returns non-zero.
In fact, according to Linus, it shouldn't print at all. As it only
prints with initcall_debug set, and that already shows enough
information to fix things.

This patch fixes races uncovered by xfstests testcase 068.
One race is the result of jfs_sync() trying to write a sync point to the
journal after it has been frozen (or possibly in the process). Since
freezing sync's the journal, there is no need to write a sync point so
we simply want to return.
The second involves jfs_write_inode() being called on a deleted inode.
It calls jfs_flush_journal which is held up by the jfs_commit thread
doing the final iput on the same deleted inode, which itself is
waiting for the I_SYNC flag to be cleared. jfs_write_inode need not
do anything when i_nlink is zero, which is the easy fix.

Merge IPC cleanup and scalability patches from Andrew Morton.
This cleans up many of the oddities in the IPC code, uses the list
iterator helpers, splits out locking and adds per-semaphore locks for
greater scalability of the IPC semaphore code.
Most normal user-level locking by now uses futexes (ie pthreads, but
also a lot of specialized locks), but SysV IPC semaphores are apparently
still used in some big applications, either for portability reasons, or
because they offer tracking and undo (and you don't need to have a
special shared memory area for them).
Our IPC semaphore scalability was pitiful. We used to lock much too big
ranges, and we used to have a single ipc lock per ipc semaphore array.
Most loads never cared, but some do. There are some numbers in the
individual commits.
* ipc-scalability:

Trying to run an application which was trying to put data into half of
memory using shmget(), we found that having a shmall value below 8EiB-8TiB
would prevent us from using anything more than 8TiB. By setting
kernel.shmall greater than 8EiB-8TiB would make the job work.
In the newseg() function, ns->shm_tot which, at 8TiB is INT_MAX.
ipc/shm.c:
458 static int newseg(struct ipc_namespace *ns, struct ipc_params *params)
459 {
...
465 int numpages = (size + PAGE_SIZE -1) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
...
474 if (ns->shm_tot + numpages > ns->shm_ctlall)
475 return -ENOSPC;
[[email protected]: make ipc/shm.c:newseg()'s numpages size_t, not int]

Introduce finer grained locking for semtimedop, to handle the common case
of a program wanting to manipulate one semaphore from an array with
multiple semaphores.
If the call is a semop manipulating just one semaphore in an array with
multiple semaphores, only take the lock for that semaphore itself.
If the call needs to manipulate multiple semaphores, or another caller is
in a transaction that manipulates multiple semaphores, the sem_array lock
is taken, as well as all the locks for the individual semaphores.
On a 24 CPU system, performance numbers with the semop-multi
test with N threads and N semaphores, look like this:

Having only one list in struct sem_queue, and only queueing simple
semaphore operations on the list for the semaphore involved, allows us to
introduce finer grained locking for semtimedop.

Rename sem_lock() to sem_obtain_lock(), so we can introduce a sem_lock()
later that only locks the sem_array and does nothing else.
Open code the locking from ipc_lock() in sem_obtain_lock() so we can
introduce finer grained locking for the sem_array in the next patch.

Instead of holding the ipc lock for permissions and security checks, among
others, only acquire it when necessary.
Some numbers....
1) With Rik's semop-multi.c microbenchmark we can see the following
results:
Baseline (3.9-rc1):
cpus 4, threads: 256, semaphores: 128, test duration: 30 secs
total operations: 151452270, ops/sec 5048409
+ 59.40% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
+ 6.14% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sys_semtimedop
+ 3.84% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] avc_has_perm_flags
+ 3.64% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __audit_syscall_exit
+ 2.06% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string
+ 1.86% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ipc_lock
With this patchset:
cpus 4, threads: 256, semaphores: 128, test duration: 30 secs
total operations: 273156400, ops/sec 9105213
+ 18.54% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
+ 11.72% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sys_semtimedop
+ 7.70% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ipc_has_perm.isra.21
+ 6.58% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] avc_has_perm_flags
+ 6.54% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __audit_syscall_exit
+ 4.71% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ipc_obtain_object_check
2) While on an Oracle swingbench DSS (data mining) workload the
improvements are not as exciting as with Rik's benchmark, we can see
some positive numbers. For an 8 socket machine the following are the
percentages of %sys time incurred in the ipc lock:
Baseline (3.9-rc1):
100 swingbench users: 8,74%
400 swingbench users: 21,86%
800 swingbench users: 84,35%
With this patchset:
100 swingbench users: 8,11%
400 swingbench users: 19,93%
800 swingbench users: 77,69%

Various forms of ipc use ipcctl_pre_down() to retrieve an ipc object and
check permissions, mostly for IPC_RMID and IPC_SET commands.
Introduce ipcctl_pre_down_nolock(), a lockless version of this function.
The locking version is retained, yet modified to call the nolock version
without affecting its semantics, thus transparent to all ipc callers.

Through ipc_lock() and therefore ipc_lock_check() we currently return the
locked ipc object. This is not necessary for all situations and can,
therefore, cause unnecessary ipc lock contention.
Introduce analogous ipc_obtain_object() and ipc_obtain_object_check()
functions that only lookup and return the ipc object.
Both these functions must be called within the RCU read critical section.

This series makes the sysv semaphore code more scalable, by reducing the
time the semaphore lock is held, and making the locking more scalable for
semaphore arrays with multiple semaphores.
The first four patches were written by Davidlohr Buesso, and reduce the
hold time of the semaphore lock.
The last three patches change the sysv semaphore code locking to be more
fine grained, providing a performance boost when multiple semaphores in a
semaphore array are being manipulated simultaneously.
On a 24 CPU system, performance numbers with the semop-multi
test with N threads and N semaphores, look like this:

This patch:
There is no reason to be holding the ipc lock while reading ipcp->seq,
hence remove misleading comment.
Also simplify the return value for the function.
