2006-12-08[PATCH] fsstack: Introduce fsstack_copy_{attr,inode}_*Josef "Jeff" Sipek
Introduce several fsstack_copy_* functions which allow stackable filesystems (such as eCryptfs and Unionfs) to easily copy over (currently only) inode attributes. This prevents code duplication and allows for code reuse.

2006-12-08[PATCH] lockdep: simplify some aspects of bd_mutex nestingNeilBrown
When we open (actually blkdev_get) a partition we need to also open (get) the whole device that holds the partition. The involves some limited recursion. This patch tries to simplify some aspects of this. As well as opening the whole device, we need to increment ->bd_part_count when a partition is opened (this is used by rescan_partitions to avoid a rescan if any partition is active, as that would be confusing). The main change this patch makes is to move the inc/dec of bd_part_count into blkdev_{get,put} for the whole rather than doing it in blkdev_{get,put} for the partition. More specifically, we introduce __blkdev_get and __blkdev_put which do exactly what blkdev_{get,put} did, only with an extra "for_part" argument (blkget_{get,put} then call the __ version with a '0' for the extra argument). If for_part is 1, then the blkdev is being get(put) because a partition is being opened(closed) for the first(last) time, and so bd_part_count should be updated (on success). The particular advantage of pushing this function down is that the bd_mutex lock (which is needed to update bd_part_count) is already held at the lower level. Note that this slightly changes the semantics of bd_part_count. Instead of updating it whenever a partition is opened or released, it is now only updated on the first open or last release. This is an adequate semantic as it is only ever tested for "== 0". Having introduced these functions we remove the current bd_part_count updates from do_open (which is really the body of blkdev_get) and call __blkdev_get(... 1). Similarly in blkget_put we remove the old bd_part_count updates and call __blkget_put(..., 1). This call is moved to the end of __blkdev_put to avoid nested locks of bd_mutex. Finally the mutex_lock on whole->bd_mutex in do_open can be removed. It was only really needed to protect bd_part_count, and that is now managed (and protected) within the recursive call. The observation that bd_part_count is central to the locking issues, and the modifications to create __blkdev_put are from Peter Zijlstra.

2006-12-08[PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty lockingPeter Zijlstra
Fix the locking of signal->tty. Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current' or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway. (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules) Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access). It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing. (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info invocations) [schwidefsky@de.ibm.com: 3270 fix] [akpm@osdl.org: various post-viro fixes] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: "David S.

Twenty characters in cp936 are not correctly handled. They're all in the U00 plane. nls_cp936 converts all U00XY to XY but this is not correct for some characters.(e.g. U00B7 -> A1A4, U00A8 -> A1A7).

The problem: autofs_fill_super() returns EINVAL to get_sb_nodev(), but before that, it calls kill_anon_super() to destroy the superblock which won't be needed. This is however way too soon to call kill_anon_super(), because get_sb_nodev() has to perform its own cleanup of the superblock first (deactivate_super(), etc.). The correct time to call kill_anon_super() is in the autofs_kill_sb() callback, which is called by deactivate_super() at proper time, when the superblock is ready to be killed. I can see the same faulty codepath also in autofs4. This patch solves issues in both filesystems in a same way - it postpones the kill_anon_super() until the proper time is signalized by deactivate_super() calling the kill_sb() callback.

2006-12-07[PATCH] ext4 balloc: fix _with_rsv freezeHugh Dickins
Port fix to the off-by-one in find_next_usable_block's memscan from ext2 to ext4; but it didn't cause a serious problem for ext4 because the additional ext4_test_allocatable check rescued it from the error.

2006-12-07[PATCH] ext4 balloc: say rb_entry not list_entryHugh Dickins
The reservations tree is an rb_tree not a list, so it's less confusing to use rb_entry() than list_entry() - though they're both just container_of().

2006-12-07[PATCH] jbd2: wait for already submitted t_sync_datalist buffer to completeHisashi Hifumi
In the current jbd code, if a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is dirty and not locked, the buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list, submitted to the IO and waited for IO completion. But the fsstress test showed the case that when a buffer was already submitted to the IO just before the buffer_dirty(bh) check, the buffer was not waited for IO completion. Following patch solves this problem. If it is assumed that a buffer is submitted to the IO before the buffer_dirty(bh) check and still being written to disk, this buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list.

2006-12-07[PATCH] reiserfs: do not add save links for O_DIRECT writesVladimir V. Saveliev
We add a save link for O_DIRECT writes to protect the i_size against the crashes before we actually finish the I/O. If we hit an -ENOSPC in aops->prepare_write(), we would do a truncate() to release the blocks which might have got initialized. Now the truncate would add another save link for the same inode causing a reiserfs panic for having multiple save links for the same inode. Signed-off-by: Vladimir V.

2006-12-07[PATCH] dcache: avoid RCU for never-hashed dentriesEric Dumazet
Some dentries don't need to be globally visible in dentry hashtable. (pipes & sockets) Such dentries dont need to wait for a RCU grace period at delete time. Being able to free them permits a better CPU cache use (hot cache) This patch combined with (dont insert pipe dentries into dentry_hashtable) reduced time of { pipe(p); close(p[0]); close(p[1]);} on my UP machine (1.6 GHz Pentium-M) from 3.23 us to 2.86 us (But this patch does not depend on other patches, only bench results) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com> Cc: "Paul E.

2006-12-07[PATCH] don't insert pipe dentries into dentry_hashtable.Eric Dumazet
We currently insert pipe dentries into the global dentry hashtable. This is suboptimal because there is currently no way these entries can be used for a lookup(). (/proc/xxx/fd/xxx uses a different mechanism). Inserting them in dentry hashtable slows dcache lookups. To let __dpath() still work correctly (ie not adding a " (deleted)") after dentry name, we do : - Right after d_alloc(), pretend they are hashed by clearing the DCACHE_UNHASHED bit. - Call d_instantiate() instead of d_add() : dentry is not inserted in hash table. __dpath() & friends work as intended during dentry lifetime. - At dismantle time, once dput() must clear the dentry, setting again DCACHE_UNHASHED bit inside the custom d_delete() function provided by pipe code, so that dput() can just kill_it.
