[PATCH] add touch_atime() helper
Preparation for per-mountpoint noatime, nodiratime and later -
per-mountpoint r/o. Depends on file_accessed() patch, should go after

New helper - touch_atime(mnt, dentry). It's a wrapper for
update_atime() and that's where all future per-mountpoint checks will
go.

[PATCH] FD_CLOEXEC fcntl cleanup
This fixes a minor problem with fcntl.

Also, the argument of set_close_on_exec() is being AND'ed with the

[PATCH] hpfs: general cleanup

ChangeSet@1.1802, 2004-03-18 13:24:22-08:00, viro@www.linux.org.uk
[PATCH] hpfs: fix locking scheme
Fixed the locking scheme. The need of extra locking was caused by
the fact that hpfs_write_inode() must update directory entry; since HPFS
directories are implemented as b-trees, we must provide protection both
against rename() (to make sure that we update the entry in right directory)
and against rebalancing of the parent.
Old scheme had both deadlocks and races - to start with, we had no
protection against rename()/unlink()/rmdir(), since (a) locking parent
was done without any warranties that it will remain our parent and (b)
check that we still have a directory entry (== have positive nlink) was
done before we tried to lock the parent. Moreover, iget serialization
killed two steps ago gave immediate deadlocks if iget() of parent had
triggered another hpfs_write_inode().
New scheme introduces another per-inode semaphore (hpfs-only,
obviously) protecting the reference to parent. It's taken on
rename/rmdir/unlink victims and inode being moved by rename. Old semaphores
are taken only on parent(s) and only after we grab one(s) of the new kind.
hpfs_write_inode() gets the new semaphore on our inode, checks nlink and
if it's non-zero grabs parent and takes the old semaphore on it.
Order among the semaphores of the same kind is arbitrary - the only
function that might take more than one of the same kind is hpfs_rename()
and it's serialized by VFS.
We might get away with only one semaphore, but then the ordering
issues would bite us big way - we would have to make sure that child is
always locked before parent (hpfs_write_inode() leaves no other choice)
and while that's easy to do for almost all operations, rename() is a bitch -
as always. And per-superblock rwsem giving rename() vs. write_inode()
exclusion on hpfs would make the entire thing too baroque for my taste.
->readdir() takes no locks at all (protection against directory
modifications is provided by VFS exclusion), ditto for ->lookup().
->llseek() on directories switched to use of (VFS) ->i_sem, so
it's safe from directory modifications and ->readdir() is safe from it -
no hpfs locks are needed here.

[PATCH] hpfs: deadlock fixes
We used to have GFP_KERNEL kmalloc() done by the code that held hpfs
lock on directory. That could trigger a call of hpfs_write_inode() and
deadlock; fixed by switch to GFP_NOFS. Same for hpfs inodes themselves
- hpfs_write_inode() calls iget() and that could trigger both the
deadlocks (avoidable with very baroque locking scheme) and stack
overflows (unavoidable unless we kill potential recursion here).

[PATCH] hpfs: hpfs iget locking cleanup
Killed the nightmares in hpfs iget handling. Since in some (fairly
frequent) cases hpfs_read_inode() could avoid any IO (basically, lookup
hitting a native HPFS regular file can get all data from directory
entry) hpfs had a flag passed to that sucker. Said flag had been
protected by a semaphore lookalike made out of spit and duct-tape and
callers of iget looked like
hpfs_lock_iget(sb, flag);
result = iget(sb, ino);
hpfs_unlock_iget(sb);
Since now we are calling hpfs_read_inode() directly (note that calling
it without hpfs_lock_iget() would simply break) we can forget all that
crap and get rid of the flag - caller knows what it wants to call.
BTW, that had killed one of the last sleep_on() users in fs/*/*.

[PATCH] hpfs: hpfs iget locking cleanup preparation

[PATCH] hpfs: new/read/write_inode() cleanups
1) common initialization for all paths in hpfs_read_inode() taken into
a separate helper (hpfs_init_inode())
2) hpfs mkdir(),create(),mknod() and symlink() do not bother with
iget() anymore - they call new_inode(), do initializations and insert new
inode into icache. Handling of OOM failures cleaned up - if we can't
allocate in-core inode, bail instead of corrupting the filesystem.
Allocating in-core inode early also avoids one of the deadlocks here
(hpfs_write_inode() from memory pressure by kmem_cache_alloc() could
deadlock on attempt to lock our directory).
3) hpfs_write_inode() marks the inode dirty again in case if it
fails to iget() its parent directory. Again, OOM could trigger fs corruption
here.

[PATCH] hpfs: clean up lock ordering
hpfs_{lock,unlock}_{2,3}inodes() killed; all places that take more than

locks are of the same type. IOW, we can replace these guys with multiple
hpfs_lock_inode() - order doesn't matter here.

[PATCH] exportfs - Remove unnecessary locking from find_exported_dentry()
From: "Jose R. Santos" <jrsantos@austin.ibm.com>
After discussing it with Neil, he fell that the original justification for
taking the kernel_lock on find_exported_dentry() is not longer valid and
should be safe to remove.
This patch fixes an issue while running SpecSFS where under memory
pressure, shrinking dcache cause find_exported_dentry() to allocate
disconnected dentries that later needed to be properly connected. The
connecting part of the code was done with BKL taken which cause a sharp
drop in performance during iterations and profiles showing 75% time spent
on find_exported_dentry(). After applying the patch, time spent on the
function is reduce to <1%.
I have tested this on an 8-way machine with 56 filesystems for several days
now with no problems using ext2, ext3, xfs and jfs.

[PATCH] ppc32: Fix booting some IBM PRePs
From: Tom Rini <trini@kernel.crashing.org>
The following patch comes from Paul Mackerras. Earlier on in 2.6,
arch/ppc/boot/utils/mkprep.c was changed slightly so that it would build

pointers to an area to filling out a local copy of the struct. However, a
memcpy was left out, and the info is only needed on some machines to boot.
The following adds in the missing memcpy and allows for IBM PRePs to boot
from a raw floppy again.

[PATCH] x86 vsyscall alignment fix
From: Andy Whitcroft <andyw@uk.ibm.com>
The vsyscall implementation for ia32 provides two different vsyscall pages;
one to use int80 and the other to use sysenter. Each includes a common
signal trailer. The kernel requires the alignment of routines in this
trailer be consistent in both copies. However this is not enforced at
compile time. Failure to maintain this alignment typically leads to an
obscure SIGSEGV in init during boot. This critical alignment requirement
is not well documented.
Below is a patch to better document the alignment requirements and to
enforce the requirement.

When Dave Miller updated <asm-ppc/pci.h> for the _for_device and _for_cpu

would also need to be changed for device or cpu. This is not the case, so
what this does is the pci_*_for_{cpu,device} calls call
consistent_sync{,page} again.

Patch by Manuel Lauss <manuel.lauss@fh-hagenberg.at>
* isl_38xx.[ch]: include firmware.h in header, remove
declaration of headers in c file. Fix compiler warnings.
* islpci_dev.c (islpci_alloc_memory),
* islpci_eth.c (islpci_eth_cleanup_transmit,
islpci_eth_transmit, islpci_eth_receive): deal with skb stray
pointer, declare NULL.
* isl_38xx.c: remove unecessary __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ and
re-ordered headers per vger.kernel.org - liking.
* isl_ioctl.c, islpci_mgt.c: move from MODULE_PARAM to the new
module_param, which is type-safe. Includes the new
<linux/moduleparam.h>.
* isl_ioctl.c (prism54_[s|g]et_[maxframeburst|profile]): added.
Not adding ioctls as ajfa is working on moving current private ioctls
to subioctls.
* isl_oid.h (dot11_[maxframeburst|preamblesettings|
slotsettings|nonerpstatus|nonerpprotection]_t): added.
Note: more ioctls can be added here, I believe problems
with mixed modes can be pinpointed here, with these values.

[PATCH] ide-scsi.c: fix ATAPI multi-lun support
ATAPI multi-lun support has been broken for a long time.
It used to be that "(drive->id->last_id & 0x7) + 1" was used as
shost->max_lun and the "hdXlun=" kernel parameter could be used to
override this value.
However it was far from optimal:
- people played with "hdXlun=" and then complained about multiple instances
of the same device (most ATAPI drives respond to each LUN)
- probably some devices return 7 not 0 in id->last_id (=> 7 x same device)
This patch from Willem Riede <wrlk@riede.org> fixes it w/o need
for "hdXlun=" option. It was tested by Willem on ATAPI PD/CD drive.

[PATCH] wait_task_inactive should not return on preempt
wait_task_inactive is now only used in two non-time-critical places: the
ptrace code to guarantee a schedule and kthread_bind so we can change
the thread CPU. Unfortunately with preempt, the code as stands has a
race: we might return because the thread is preempted, not because it
actually reached schedule(). The ptrace code (probably) doesn't care,
but the kthread code does.
This patch simplifies the (now over-optimized) code, and does a yield()
for the preemption case.

got moved into iSeries_proc.c.
- Kill pmc.c. We dont use those statistics and the ones that are left
can be gained via PMCs.
- Create /proc/iSeries and /proc/ppc64 very early. This means we no
longer have to call proc_ppc64_init in all the drivers, we can
assume its there.
- Fix some error return cases in rtas-proc.c and rtas-flash

[PATCH] Fix multiple EEH-related bugs
From: Linas Vepstas <linas@austin.ibm.com>
This patch fixes multiple EEH-related bugs:
- Fixes the eeh_check_failure() usage in an interrupt context.
This routine is now safe to use in an interrupt. The fix was to
build a cache of IO addresses and check that, instead of using
the pci routines.
- Merges in Olof Johansson's sizeof patch when checking for failure
- Adds EEH tests to array/string reads
- Fixes bugs with address resolution (some i/o addresses were handled
incorrectly, resulting in EEH errors slipping by undetected.)
- Adds EEH support to the PCI Hotplug system (so that devices that
get added/removed get properly registered with the EEH subsystem.)
- Fixes improper use of /proc filesystem.
- Adds some misc statistics.
While merging Linas' patch I also converted the proc usage to
seq_single, used per cpu variables for the stats and removed the
eeh-force-off option.

[PATCH] reiserfs: fix transaction sizes
From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>
Make sure reiserfs uses a reasonable number when restarting long unbounded
transactions (creating holes or deleting files).
Without this patch, the number of blocks requested grows with each
transaction restart, until it hits MAX_BATCH_COUNT and starts forcing
commits with every new transaction.

[PATCH] reiserfs: fix null pointer deref
From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>
From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.de>
fsstress manages to setup a sequence of events that allow an attempt to
perform direct-io on a tail. bh_result->b_page == NULL, which causes the
PageLocked and PageWriteback checks to perform a NULL deref, causing the
oops.

[PATCH] flush_scheduled_work() deadlock fix
Because keventd is a resource which is shared between unrelated parts of the
kernel it is possible for one person's workqueue handler to accidentally call
another person's flush_scheduled_work(). thockin managed it by calling
mntput() from a workqueue handler. It deadlocks.
It's simple enough to fix: teach flush_scheduled_work() to go direct when it
discovers that the calling thread is the one which should be running the
work.
Note that this can cause recursion. The depth of that recursion is equal to
the number of currently-queued works which themselves want to call
flush_scheduled_work(). If this ever exceeds three I'll eat my hat.

[PATCH] selinux: fix compute_av bug
From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>
This patch fixes a bug in the SELinux compute_av code; the current code

harmless) processing to occur when transition permission wasn't granted in
the first place by the TE configuration. Thanks to Chad Hanson of TCS for
reporting the bug.

[PATCH] kbuild: fix modpost when used with O=
From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
modpost or to be more specific sumversion.c was not behaving correct when
used with O= and MODULE_VERSION was used. Previously it failed to use
local .h when calculation the md-sum in case of a O= build.
The following patch introduces the following:
- A generic get_next_line()
- Check that the topmost part of the directory matches
- Using strrch when checking for file with suffix .o
- Use NOFAIL for allocations in sumversion
- Avoid memory leak in new_module
The generic get_next_line will pay off when Andreas implmentation of
storing symbol addresses in a seperate file is introduced.

[PATCH] ide-scsi error handling fixes
From: Willem Riede <wrlk@riede.org>
The patch revises the error handling in ide-scsi, fixing the scheduling
while locked issues, and make it work properly, at least for me...
Specific changes in this patch:
- introduce idescsi_expiry, a timeout routine for the ide subsystem,
which simply flags the fact that the command timed out, but postpones
any other action until either the command still finishes on its own
(unlikely?) or the scsi error handler kicks in;
- introduce idescsi_atapi_error and idescsi_atapi_abort, error routines
for the ide subsystem, which are modeled after those of ide-cd, but
take only minimal effort to recover, leaving the heavy lifting for
the scsi error handler;
- rewrite (and rename for clarity) idescsi_eh_abort and idescsi_eh_error,
the abort/error routines to be called by the scsi error handler --
this redesign should not have the scheduling while atomic problems
of the old implementation.
- move ide_cdrom_dump_status() from ide-cd.c to ide-lib.c as
ide_dump_atapi_status() and both ide-cd and ide-scsi call it.
- replaces BUG() by WARN_ON()/printk in the error handling code.
- sets TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE before schedule_timeout() and moves the host
unlock/lock around the while loop inside the loop in idescsi_eh_reset().

[PATCH] selinux: Conditional policy extension and MLS detection support
From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>
This patch extends the SELinux policy engine to support conditional policy
logic based on a set of policy booleans, allowing well-formed changes to
the policy to be defined within and mediated by the policy itself.
The conditional policy extensions were implemented and contributed by
Tresys Technology.
Userland packages that support these extensions are already available from
nsa.gov/selinux, and backward compatibility is provided for the prior
policy version.
The patch also includes a small change to enable detection of the optional
MLS policy model on a SELinux system and fixes to the conditional policy
extensions to allow the MLS policy to work correctly with them that were
implemented and contributed by Trusted Computer Solutions.

[PATCH] Save some memory in mem_map on x86-64
From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
This patch saves 2MB of memory on a 1GB x86-64 machine, 20MB on a 10GB
machine. It does this by eliminating 8 bytes of useless padding in struct
page.
This resurrects an older patch in a hopefully cleaner form.

[PATCH] Fix early parallel make failures
From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
Ingo said:
Starting at around 2.6.4-rc2-mm1, I keep seeing 'scripts/fixdep: Text
file busy' messages when doing a -j10 bzImage build - which seems to
suggest that by the time fixdep is used by the build system it's not
built yet.
Sam said:
I was pretty sure it was something I had caused, so I gave it a spin. What
actually happened was that we tried to build the target 'silentoldconfig'
in parrallel with 'scripts'. Since 'silentoldconfig' started a new make
and then the config target needed 'scripts' we saw two parallel runs.
The way I decided to fix it was to split scripts/ in two parts. The first
part is now the very basic stuff - moved to scripts/basic/. The second
part is dependent on kernel config etc. and kept in scripts/
In the 2.7 timeframe i will redo this initial stuff - it's becoming too
messy for anyone to understand today.
Description:
Fix dependencies in early phases of kernel build. This solves a few
problems nively: modpost is no longer rebuild twicewhen reaching the
'target' state 'make -j10' now works nicely again
The patch is rather large due to the following file moves:
mkdir scripts/basic
mv scripts/fixdep.c scripts/basic
mv scripts/split-include.c scripts/basic
mv scripts/docproc.c scripts/basic

[PATCH] g5: Fix iommu vs. pci_device_to_OF_node
The g5 iommu code would fill the "iommu_table" member of whatever
device node was pointed to by pcidev->sysdata during boot. However,
the ppc64 kernel fills that with a pointer to the PHB node which is
later replaced "lazily" with a pointer to the real node when calling
pci_device_to_OF_node(). In this case, we were thus "losign" the
iommu_table pointer. Typical symptom: loss of the SATA when looking
at it's /proc entry.
This fixes it by forcing the update to the final sysdata pointer
when filling up the iommu_table pointers. The "lazy" thing is useless
on pmac anyway.
