The "run_to_completion" mode was somewhat broken. Locks need to be avoided in
run_to_completion mode, and it shouldn't be used by normal users, just
internally for panic situations.
This patch removes locks in run_to_completion mode and removes the user call
for setting the mode. The only user was the poweroff code, but it was easily
converted to use the polling interface.

sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.
This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all

introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted

Fix some RCU problem pointed out by Paul McKenney of IBM. These are:
The wholesale move of the command receivers list into a new list was not
safe because the list will point to the new tail during a traversal, so the
traversal will never end on a reader if this happens during a read.
Memory barriers were needed to handle proper ordering of the setting of the
IPMI interface as valid. Readers might not see proper ordering of data
otherwise.
In ipmi_smi_watcher_register(), the use of the _rcu suffix on the list is
unnecessary.

The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:
"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.
With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)
There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)
Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.
Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
ATOMIC CHAINS

net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain
BLOCKING CHAINS
---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain

kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain
kernel/module.c module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain
It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)
The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.

Add full driver model support for the IPMI driver. It links in the proper
bus and device support.
It adds an "ipmi" driver interface that has each BMC discovered by the
driver (as a device). These BMCs appear in the devices/platform directory.
If there are multiple interfaces to the same BMC, the driver should
discover this and will only have one BMC entry. The BMC entry will have
pointers to each interface device that connects to it.
The device information (statistics and config information) has not yet been
ported over to the driver model from proc, that will come later.
This work was based on work by Yani Ioannou. I basically rewrote it using
that code as a guide, but he still deserves credit :).

While looking to the report by Coverity in ipmi, I came across the
following issue:
The IPMI message handler relies on two defines which are the same -one in
include/linux/ipmi.h
#define IPMI_NUM_CHANNELS 0x10
and one in drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.
#define IPMI_MAX_CHANNELS 16
These are used interchangeably in ipmi_msghandler.c, but since the array
addr->channels[] is of size IPMI_MAX_CHANNELS, I have made a patch that
uses IPMI_MAX_CHANNELS for all the checks for the array index.
NOTE: You could probably remove the line that defines IPMI_NUM_CHANNELS
from ipmi.h, or move IPMI_MAX_CHANNELS to ipmi.h

I missed a use of list_for_each_rcu_safe() in -mm tree. Here is an updated
patch to fix it. This time tested on a machine that actually uses IPMI...
(Thanks to Serge Hallyn for spotting this.)

The IPMI specifcation says the generator ID is 0x20, but that is for bits
7-1. Bit 0 is set to specify it is a software event. The correct value is
0x41. Without this fix, panic events written into the System Event Log
appear to come from an "unknown" generator, rather than from the kernel.

Lots of good changes to the driver lately that userspace will care about
the version of the driver. Bump the version from 36.0 to 38.0 to be higher
than 37 that the 2.4 driver came out with a few weeks ago which doesn't
have all the same changes.

Part of a patch was accidentally reverted, this corrects an
inconsistent spinlock use in the IPMI message handler.

Use rcu_read_lock for the cmd_rcvrs list, since that was what what
intended, anyway. This means that all the users of the cmd_rcvrs_lock are
tasks, so the irq disables are no longer required for that lock and it can
become a semaphore.

This patch is rather large, but it really can't be done in smaller chunks
easily and I believe it is an important change. This has been out and tested
for a while in the latest IPMI driver release. There are no functional
changes, just changes as necessary to convert the locking over (and a few
minor style updates).
The IPMI driver uses read/write locks to ensure that things exist while they
are in use. This is bad from a number of points of view. This patch removes
the rwlocks and uses refcounts and RCU lists to manage what the locks did.
