dlm: audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h

2016-10-19T16:00:03+00:00

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file. This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. In the case of some code where it is modular, we can extend that to also include files that are building basic support functionality but not related to loading or registering the final module; such files also have no need whatsoever for module.h The advantage in removing such instances is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers; adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what headers we are effectively using. Since module.h might have been the implicit source for init.h (for __init) and for export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each instance for the presence of either and replace as needed. In the dlm case, we remove module.h from a global header and only introduce it in the files where it is explicitly required, since there is nothing modular in dlm_internal.h itself.

Pull dlm updates from David Teigland: "This set mainly includes a change to the way the dlm uses the SCTP API in the kernel, removing the direct dependency on the sctp module. Other odd SCTP-related fixes are also included. The other notable fix is for a long standing regression in the behavior of lock value blocks for user space locks" * tag 'dlm-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/teigland/linux-dlm: dlm: print error from kernel_sendpage dlm: fix lvb copy for user locks dlm: sctp_accept_from_sock() can be static dlm: fix reconnecting but not sending data dlm: replace BUG_ON with a less severe handling dlm: use sctp 1-to-1 API dlm: fix not reconnecting on connecting error handling dlm: fix race while closing connections dlm: fix connection stealing if using SCTP

dlm: fix lvb copy for user locks

2015-08-25T19:41:50+00:00

For a userland lock request, the previous and current lock modes are used to decide when the lvb should be copied back to the user. The wrong previous value was used, so that it always matched the current value. This caused the lvb to be copied back to the user in the wrong cases. Signed-off-by: David Teigland

char: make misc_deregister a void function

2015-08-05T17:35:49+00:00

With well over 200+ users of this api, there are a mere 12 users that actually checked the return value of this function. And all of them really didn't do anything with that information as the system or module was shutting down no matter what. So stop pretending like it matters, and just return void from misc_deregister(). If something goes wrong in the call, you will get a WARNING splat in the syslog so you know how to fix up your driver. Other than that, there's nothing that can go wrong. Cc: Alasdair Kergon Cc: Neil Brown Cc: Oleg Drokin Cc: Andreas Dilger Cc: "Michael S.

dlm: adopt orphan locks

2014-11-19T20:48:02+00:00

A process may exit, leaving an orphan lock in the lockspace. This adds the capability for another process to acquire the orphan lock. Acquiring the orphan just moves the lock from the orphan list onto the acquiring process's list of locks. An adopting process must specify the resource name and mode of the lock it wants to adopt. If a matching lock is found, the lock is moved to the caller's 's list of locks, and the lkid of the lock is returned like the lkid of a new lock. If an orphan with a different mode is found, then -EAGAIN is returned. If no orphan lock is found on the resource, then -ENOENT is returned. No async completion is used because the result is immediately available. Also, when orphans are purged, allow a zero nodeid to refer to the local nodeid so the caller does not need to look up the local nodeid. Signed-off-by: David Teigland
