Is there any method for one thread to force another thread to suspend
execution, then later let it resume, that is lighter weight than using
signals? I don't need it to be portable to anything other than Linux.
The suspend needs to be synchronous, but resume doesn't.
What I've thought about so far (but haven't tested) for thread A
to suspend thread B is to use a signal and two pthread conditions:

This patch changes attach_task_by_pid() to take a u64 rather than a
string; as a result it can be called directly as a control groups
write_u64 handler, and cgroup_common_file_write() can be removed.

Currently read_counter_write() is a raw file handler even though it's
ultimately taking a number, since in some cases it wants to
pre-process the string when converting it to a number.
This patch converts res_counter_write() from a raw file handler to a
write_string() handler; this allows some of the boilerplate
copying/locking/checking to be removed, and simplies the cleanup path,
since these functions are now performed by the cgroups framework.

This patch adds a write_string() method for cgroups control files. The
semantics are that a buffer is copied from userspace to kernelspace
and the handler function invoked on that buffer. The buffer is
guaranteed to be nul-terminated, and no longer than max_write_len
(defaulting to 64 bytes if unspecified). Later patches will convert
existing raw file write handlers in control group subsystems to use
this method.

Adds cgroup_release_agent_write() and cgroup_release_agent_show()
methods to handle writing/reading the path to a cgroup hierarchy's
release agent. As a result, cgroup_common_file_read() is now unnecessary.
As part of the change, a previously-tolerated race in
cgroup_release_agent() is avoided by copying the current
release_agent_path prior to calling call_usermode_helper().

| menage | [PATCH 0/8] CGroup Files: Add write_string control file method
This is a resend of a patchset that I sent last month, reworked to
remove some controversial locking proposals. All locking is now explicit.
This patchset provides:
1) A new write_string() cgroup file method that copies the user's data
to kernel space and invokes the relevant handler with the
nul-terminated kernelspace buffer
2) A new helper function, cgroup_lock_live_group(), which combines
taking the cgroup lock and checking the liveness of a cgroup, to allow
simplification of a common lock/...

| Ivan Kokshaysky | [PATCH] alpha: fix compile failures with gcc-4.3 (bug #10438)
Vast majority of these build failures are gcc-4.3 warnings
about static functions and objects being referenced from
non-static (read: "extern inline") functions, in conjunction
with our -Werror.
We cannot just convert "extern inline" to "static inline",
as people keep suggesting all the time, because "extern inline"
logic is crucial for generic kernel build.
So
- just make sure that all callees of critical "extern inline"
functions are also "extern inline";
- use "static inline", wherever it's...

| Ivan Kokshaysky | [PATCH] alpha: fix module load failures on smp (bug #10926)
To calculate addresses of locally defined variables, GCC uses 32-bit
displacement from the GP. Which doesn't work for per cpu variables in
modules, as an offset to the kernel per cpu area is way above 4G.
The workaround is to force allocation of a GOT entry for per cpu variable
using ldq instruction with a 'literal' relocation.
I had to use custom asm/percpu.h, as a required argument magic doesn't
work with asm-generic/percpu.h macros.

Which was removed in the hope that generic legacy IDE quirk in
drivers/pci/probe.c is sufficient for Cypress IDE.
It isn't, as this controller has non-standard BAR layout:
secondary channel registers are in the BAR0-1 of the second
PCI function - not in the BAR2-3 of the same function, as the
generic quirk routine assumes.

This happens with -Os (CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y) with all gcc-4

The problem is in sd.c:sd_major() being inlined into __exit function

| Jeremy Fitzhardinge | Various x86 syscall mechanisms
Hi Roland,
As far as I can work out, an x86_32 kernel will use "int 0x80" and
"sysenter" for system calls. 64-bit kernel will use just "syscall" for
64-bit processes (though you can use "int 0x80" to access the 32-bit
syscall interface from a 64-bit process), but will allow "sysenter",
"syscall" or "int 0x80" for 32-on-64 processes.
Why does 32-on-64 implement 32-bit syscall when native 32-bit doesn't
seem to? Or am I overlooking something here? Does 32-bit also support
syscall?

I think it is clearest to talk separately about the "intended ABI", the
"what actually works today", and the "why". (Also note I was not the
decision-maker in this, just picking up what I can see.)
First and simplest, the 64-bit ABI. AFAIK the intended ABI has always been
the "syscall" instruction for 64-bit syscalls and "int $0x80" for 32-bit
syscalls made from 64-bit tasks on CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION kernels (intended
for valgrind). For 64-bit processes, that's all there is meant to be and

FWIW I've booted up osx just for the hell of it, and then back to
linux, upon booting linux I'm seeing
something new: appletouch: atp_complete - usb_submit_urb failed with result -1
when grepping appletouch I see:
[ 15.986401] usbcore: registered new interface driver appletouch
[ 18.722161] appletouch 1-2:1.1: usb_probe_interface
[ 18.726984] appletouch 1-2:1.1: usb_probe_interface - got id

| Alan Stern | Scatter-gather list constraints
Is there any way to express the constraint that for a particular
request queue, all members of a scatter-gather list (except the last)
must be a multiple of a particular length?
This question arises in connection with wireless USB mass-storage
devices. The controller driver requires that all DMA segments
in a transfer, other than the last one, have a multiple of 1024 bytes.
But we're sometimes getting s-g lists where an element contains an odd
number of 512-byte sectors, and of course it doesn...

The generic device layer DMA bits does have ways to indicate
DMA restrictions such as maximum segment size, but not something
like this.
This is a pretty strange requirement, and would be probably be
quite difficult to support across the board just to handle this
strange device :)

| Alan Cox | [PATCH 00/70] tty updates proposed for 2.6.27
This patch series introduces the idea of a tty_port - a common structure
that eventually all ports will have. Some drivers are migrated to make partial
use of the tty port commonality and helpers but only a little.
On the USB side the USB tty API is changed to fix a whole pile of races where
tty->port->tty cannot be assumed to be tty (because of hangup/reopen). The
USB drivers all get a spring clean and the entire pile have been dragged into
CodingStyle near compliance (some cases where the ch...

I don't know what is more wicked, the size of this series or loading
after you aimed :-)
