In the first iteration, those distributors might want to ship the old stack also (but blacklisted) as a fallback for their users if unforeseen problems with the newer replacement drivers are encountered. The older FireWire stack contains several known problems which are not going to be fixed; instead, those issues are addressed by the new stack. An incomplete list of these issues is kept in bugzilla: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10046 We have a guide on migration from the older to the newer stack: http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration

2009-12-29firewire: fix use of multiple AV/C devices, allow multiple FCP listenersClemens Ladisch
Control of more than one AV/C device at once --- e.g. camcorders, tape decks, audio devices, TV tuners --- failed or worked only unreliably, depending on driver implementation. This affected kernelspace and userspace drivers alike and was caused by firewire-core's inability to accept multiple registrations of FCP listeners. The fix allows multiple address handlers to be registered for the FCP command and response registers. When a request for these registers is received, all handlers are invoked, and the Firewire response is generated by the core and not by any handler. The cdev API does not change, i.e., userspace is still expected to send a response for FCP requests; this response is silently ignored.

2009-12-26net: restore ip source validationJamal Hadi Salim
when using policy routing and the skb mark: there are cases where a back path validation requires us to use a different routing table for src ip validation than the one used for mapping ingress dst ip. One such a case is transparent proxying where we pretend to be the destination system and therefore the local table is used for incoming packets but possibly a main table would be used on outbound.

2009-12-23fs-writeback: Add helper function to start writeback if idleEric Sandeen
ext4, at least, would like to start pushing on writeback if it starts to get close to ENOSPC when reserving worst-case blocks for delalloc writes. Writing out delalloc data will convert those worst-case predictions into usually smaller actual usage, freeing up space before we hit ENOSPC based on this speculation. Thanks to Jens for the suggestion for the helper function, & the naming help. I've made the helper return status on whether writeback was started even though I don't plan to use it in the ext4 patch; it seems like it would be potentially useful to test this in some cases.

2009-12-23quota: decouple fs reserved space from quota reservationDmitry Monakhov
Currently inode_reservation is managed by fs itself and this reservation is transfered on dquot_transfer(). This means what inode_reservation must always be in sync with dquot->dq_dqb.dqb_rsvspace. Otherwise dquot_transfer() will result in incorrect quota(WARN_ON in dquot_claim_reserved_space() will be triggered) This is not easy because of complex locking order issues for example http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14739 The patch introduce quota reservation field for each fs-inode (fs specific inode is used in order to prevent bloating generic vfs inode). This reservation is managed by quota code internally similar to i_blocks/i_bytes and may not be always in sync with internal fs reservation. Also perform some code rearrangement: - Unify dquot_reserve_space() and dquot_reserve_space() - Unify dquot_release_reserved_space() and dquot_free_space() - Also this patch add missing warning update to release_rsv() dquot_release_reserved_space() must call flush_warnings() as dquot_free_space() does.

2009-12-23ext4, jbd2: Add barriers for file systems with exernal journalsTheodore Ts'o
This is a bit complicated because we are trying to optimize when we send barriers to the fs data disk. We could just throw in an extra barrier to the data disk whenever we send a barrier to the journal disk, but that's not always strictly necessary. We only need to send a barrier during a commit when there are data blocks which are must be written out due to an inode written in ordered mode, or if fsync() depends on the commit to force data blocks to disk. Finally, before we drop transactions from the beginning of the journal during a checkpoint operation, we need to guarantee that any blocks that were flushed out to the data disk are firmly on the rust platter before we drop the transaction from the journal. Thanks to Oleg Drokin for pointing out this flaw in ext3/ext4. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2009-12-22kfifo: move struct kfifo in placeStefani Seibold
This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation. The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it. FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory resources. I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use: - The API is to simple, important functions are missing - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not - There is no support for data records inside a fifo So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up the API to much. The new API has the following benefits: - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver. - Provide an API for the most use case. - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions. - Linux style habit. - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo. - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator. - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo, which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary. - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if one is required. - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported: - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size field of 1 bytes. - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size field of 2 bytes. - Fixed size records, which no record size field. - Preserve memory resource. - Performance! - Easy to use! This patch: Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object, reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

Just set f_flags when shoving struct file into nameidata; don't postpone that until __dentry_open(). do_filp_open() has correct value; lookup_instantiate_filp() doesn't - we lose the difference between O_RDWR and 3 by that point. We still set .intent.open.flags, so no fs code needs to be changed. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2009-12-21mac80211: fix peer HT capabilitiesJohannes Berg
I noticed yesterday, because Jeff had noticed a speed regression, cf. bug http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2138 that the SM PS settings for peers were wrong. Instead of overwriting the SM PS settings with the local bits, we need to keep the remote bits. The bug was part of the original HT code from over two years ago, but unfortunately nobody noticed that it makes no sense -- we shouldn't be overwriting the peer's setting with our own but rather keep it intact when masking the peer capabilities with our own. While fixing that, I noticed that the masking of capabilities is completely useless for most of the bits, so also fix those other bits. Finally, I also noticed that PSMP_SUPPORT no longer exists in the final 802.11n version, so also remove that. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
