2008-03-19rcu: fix misplaced mb() in rcu_enter/exit_nohz()Paul E. McKenney
In the process of writing up the mechanical proof of correctness for the dynticks/preemptable-RCU interface, I noticed misplaced memory barriers in rcu_enter_nohz() and rcu_exit_nohz(). This patch puts them in the right place and adds a comment. The key thing to keep in mind is that rcu_enter_nohz() is -exiting- the mode that can legally execute RCU read-side critical sections. The memory barrier must be between any potential RCU read-side critical sections and the increment of the per-CPU dynticks_progress_counter, and thus must come -before- this increment. And vice versa for rcu_exit_nohz(). The locking in the scheduler is probably saving us for the moment. Also, switch to smp_mb() - we don't need a barrier for uniprocessor kernels.

2008-03-19ROMFS: Fix up an error in iget removalDavid Howells
Fix up an error in iget removal in which romfs_lookup() making a successful call to romfs_iget() continues through the negative/error handling (previously the successful case jumped around the negative/error handling case): (1) inode is initialised to NULL at the top of the function, eliminating the need for specific negative-inode handling. This means the positive success handling now flows straight through. (2) Rename the labels to be clearer about what they mean. Also make romfs_lookup()'s result variable of type long so as to avoid 32-bit/64-bit conversions with PTR_ERR() and friends. Based upon a report and patch from Adam Richter.

2008-03-19aio: bad AIO race in aio_complete() leads to process hangQuentin Barnes
My group ran into a AIO process hang on a 2.6.24 kernel with the process sleeping indefinitely in io_getevents(2) waiting for the last wakeup to come and it never would. We ran the tests on x86_64 SMP. The hang only occurred on a Xeon box ("Clovertown") but not a Core2Duo ("Conroe"). On the Xeon, the L2 cache isn't shared between all eight processors, but is L2 is shared between between all two processors on the Core2Duo we use. My analysis of the hang is if you go down to the second while-loop in read_events(), what happens on processor #1: 1) add_wait_queue_exclusive() adds thread to ctx->wait 2) aio_read_evt() to check tail 3) if aio_read_evt() returned 0, call [io_]schedule() and sleep In aio_complete() with processor #2: A) info->tail = tail; B) waitqueue_active(&ctx->wait) C) if waitqueue_active() returned non-0, call wake_up() The way the code is written, step 1 must be seen by all other processors before processor 1 checks for pending events in step 2 (that were recorded by step A) and step A by processor 2 must be seen by all other processors (checked in step 2) before step B is done. The race I believed I was seeing is that steps 1 and 2 were effectively swapped due to the __list_add() being delayed by the L2 cache not shared by some of the other processors. Imagine: proc 2: just before step A proc 1, step 1: adds to ctx->wait, but is not visible by other processors yet proc 1, step 2: checks tail and sees no pending events proc 2, step A: updates tail proc 1, step 3: calls [io_]schedule() and sleeps proc 2, step B: checks ctx->wait, but sees no one waiting, skips wakeup so proc 1 sleeps indefinitely My patch adds a memory barrier between steps A and B. It ensures that the update in step 1 gets seen on processor 2 before continuing. If processor 1 was just before step 1, the memory barrier makes sure that step A (update tail) gets seen by the time processor 1 makes it to step 2 (check tail). Before the patch our AIO process would hang virtually 100% of the time. After the patch, we have yet to see the process ever hang.

2008-03-19nfs: don't ignore return value from nfs_pageio_add_requestFred Isaman
Ignoring the return value from nfs_pageio_add_request can cause deadlocks. In read path: call nfs_pageio_add_request from readpage_async_filler assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that can't be merged with the current request. so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc. assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set. This causes nfs_pageio_add_request to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original request. BUT, since return code is ignored, readpage_async_filler assumes it has been added, and does nothing further, leaving page locked. do_generic_mapping_read will eventually call lock_page, resulting in deadlock In write path: page is marked dirty by generic_perform_write nfs_writepages is called call nfs_pageio_add_request from nfs_page_async_flush assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that can't be merged with the current request. so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc. assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set. This causes nfs_page_async_flush to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original request, yet marking the request as locked (PG_BUSY) and in writeback, clearing dirty marks. The next time a write is done to the page, deadlock will result as nfs_write_end calls nfs_update_request Signed-off-by: Fred Isaman <iisaman@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2008-03-19[PATCH] get stack footprint of pathname resolution back to relative sanityAl Viro
Somebody had put struct nameidata in stack frame of link_path_walk(). Unfortunately, there are certain realities to deal with: * It's in the middle of recursion. Depth is equal to the nesting depth of symlinks, i.e. up to 8. * struct namiedata is, even if one discards the intent junk, at least 12 pointers + 5 ints. * moreover, adding a stack frame is not free in that situation. * there are fs methods called on top of that, and they also have stack footprint. * kernel stack is not infinite. The thing is, even if one chooses to deal with -ESTALE that way (and it's one hell of an overkill), the only thing that needs to be preserved is vfsmount + dentry, not the entire struct nameidata.

2008-03-19[PATCH] fix up new filp allocatorsDave Hansen
Some new uses of get_empty_filp() have crept in; switched to alloc_file() to make sure that pieces of initialization won't be missing. We really need to kill get_empty_filp().

2008-03-19[PATCH] check for null vfsmount in dentry_open()Christoph Hellwig
Make sure no-one calls dentry_open with a NULL vfsmount argument and crap out with a stacktrace otherwise. A NULL file->f_vfsmnt has always been problematic, but with the per-mount r/o tracking we can't accept anymore at all.

2008-03-19[PATCH] reiserfs: eliminate private use of struct file in xattrJeff Mahoney
After several posts and bug reports regarding interaction with the NULL nameidata, here's a patch to clean up the mess with struct file in the reiserfs xattr code. As observed in several of the posts, there's really no need for struct file to exist in the xattr code. It was really only passed around due to the f_op->readdir() and a_ops->{prepare,commit}_write prototypes requiring it. reiserfs_prepare_write() and reiserfs_commit_write() don't actually use the struct file passed to it, and the xattr code uses a private version of reiserfs_readdir() to enumerate the xattr directories.

2008-03-19[PATCH] sanitize hppfsAl Viro
* hppfs_iget() and its users are racy; there's no need to pollute icache anyway, new_inode() works fine and is safe, unlike the current kludges (these relied on overwriting ->i_ino before another iget_locked() gets to that one - and did it after unlocking). * merge hppfs_iget()/init_inode()/hppfs_read_inode(), while we are at it. * to pass proper vfsmount to dentry_open() store the reference in hppfs superblock.

Here's patch for hppfs that uses vfs_kern_mount to make sure it always has a procfs instance and passed the vfsmount on through the inode private data. Also fixes a procfs file_system_type leak for every attempted hppfs mount.

2008-03-18IDE: Make taskfile interface more robust wrt unexpected end-of-commandLinus Torvalds
Now that we handle all the special commands using REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE rather than using the old REQ_TYPE_ATA_CMD model, we need to also emulate the lack of full taskfile data that comes with the old command model (ie when commands are generated with the HDIO_DRIVE_CMD ioctl rather than using the HDIO_DRIVE_TASK[FILE] ioctls). In particular, this means that we should handle command completion the more relaxed way that the old drive_cmd_intr() code did. It allows commands to finish early even if they don't use up all the data that we thought we had for them. This fixes a regression seen by Anders Eriksson where some SMART commands sent by smartd would cause a boot-time system hang on his machine because the IDE command handling code didn't realize that the command had completed.
