This reverts commit 3bcf3860a4ff9bbc522820b4b765e65e4deceb3e (and the accompanying commit c1e5c954020e "vfs/fsnotify: fsnotify_close can delay the final work in fput" that was a horribly ugly hack to make it work at all). The 'struct file' approach not only causes that disgusting hack, it somehow breaks pulseaudio, probably due to some other subtlety with f_count handling.

2010-08-12mm: fix writeback_in_progress()Jan Kara
Commit 83ba7b071f3 ("writeback: simplify the write back thread queue") broke writeback_in_progress() as in that commit we started to remove work items from the list at the moment we start working on them and not at the moment they are finished. Thus if the flusher thread was doing some work but there was no other work queued, writeback_in_progress() returned false. This could in particular cause unnecessary queueing of background writeback from balance_dirty_pages() or writeout work from writeback_sb_if_idle(). This patch fixes the problem by introducing a bit in the bdi state which indicates that the flusher thread is processing some work and uses this bit for writeback_in_progress() test. NOTE: Both callsites of writeback_in_progress() (namely, writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() and balance_dirty_pages()) would actually need a different information than what writeback_in_progress() provides. They would need to know whether *the kind of writeback they are going to submit* is already queued. But this information isn't that simple to provide so let's fix writeback_in_progress() for the time being.

2010-08-12writeback: merge for_kupdate and !for_kupdate casesWu Fengguang
Unify the logic for kupdate and non-kupdate cases. There won't be starvation because the inodes requeued into b_more_io will later be spliced _after_ the remaining inodes in b_io, hence won't stand in the way of other inodes in the next run. It avoids unnecessary redirty_tail() calls, hence the update of i_dirtied_when. The timestamp update is undesirable because it could later delay the inode's periodic writeback, or may exclude the inode from the data integrity sync operation (which checks timestamp to avoid extra work and livelock). === How the redirty_tail() comes about: It was a long story.. This redirty_tail() was introduced with wbc.more_io. The initial patch for more_io actually does not have the redirty_tail(), and when it's merged, several 100% iowait bug reports arised: reiserfs: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/23/93 jfs: commit 29a424f28390752a4ca2349633aaacc6be494db5 JFS: clear PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY for no-write pages ext2: http://www.spinics.net/linux/lists/linux-ext4/msg04762.html They are all old bugs hidden in various filesystems that become "visible" with the more_io patch. At the time, the ext2 bug is thought to be "trivial", so not fixed. Instead the following updated more_io patch with redirty_tail() is merged: http://www.spinics.net/linux/lists/linux-ext4/msg04507.html This will in general prevent 100% on ext2 and possibly other unknown FS bugs.

2010-08-12writeback: fix queue_io() orderingWu Fengguang

2010-08-12writeback: don't redirty tail an inode with dirty pagesWu Fengguang
Avoid delaying writeback for an expire inode with lots of dirty pages, but no active dirtier at the moment. Previously we only do that for the kupdate case. Any filesystem that does delayed allocation or unwritten extent conversion after IO completion will cause this - for example, XFS.

2010-08-11AFS: Implement an autocell mount capability [ver #2]wanglei
Implement the ability for the root directory of a mounted AFS filesystem to accept lookups of arbitrary directory names, to interpet the names as the names of cells, to look the cell names up in the DNS for AFSDB records and to mount the root.cell volume of the nominated cell on the pseudo-directory created by lookup. This facility is requested by passing: -o autocell to the mountpoint for which this is desired, usually the /afs mount. To use this facility, a DNS upcall program is required for AFSDB records. This can be obtained from: http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/afs/dns.afsdb.c It should be compiled with -lresolv and -lkeyutils and installed as, say: /usr/sbin/dns.afsdb Then the following line needs to be added to /sbin/request-key.conf: create dns_resolver afsdb:* * /usr/sbin/dns.afsdb %k This can be tested by mounting AFS, say: insmod dns_resolver.ko insmod af-rxrpc.ko insmod kafs.ko rootcell=grand.central.org mount -t afs "#grand.central.org:root.cell." /afs -o autocell and doing: ls /afs/grand.central.org/ which should show: archive/ cvs/ doc/ local/ project/ service/ software/ user/ www/ if it works.

2010-08-11DNS: If the DNS server returns an error, allow that to be cached [ver #2]Wang Lei
If the DNS server returns an error, allow that to be cached in the DNS resolver key in lieu of a value. Userspace passes the desired error number as an option in the payload: "#dnserror=<number>" Userspace must map h_errno from the name resolution routines to an appropriate Linux error before passing it up. Something like the following mapping is recommended: [HOST_NOT_FOUND] = ENODATA, [TRY_AGAIN] = EAGAIN, [NO_RECOVERY] = ECONNREFUSED, [NO_DATA] = ENODATA, in lieu of Linux errors specifically for representing name service errors. The filesystem must map these errors appropropriately before passing them to userspace. AFS is made to map ENODATA and EAGAIN to EDESTADDRREQ for the return to userspace; ECONNREFUSED is allowed to stand as is. The error can be seen in /proc/keys as a negative number after the description of the key. Compare, for example, the following key entries: 2f97238c I--Q-- 1 53s 3f010000 0 0 dns_resol afsdb:grand.centrall.org: -61 338bfbbe I--Q-- 1 59m 3f010000 0 0 dns_resol afsdb:grand.central.org: 37 If the error option is supplied in the payload, the main part of the payload is discarded. The key should have an expiry time set by userspace.

2010-08-11signalfd: fill in ssi_int for posix timers and message queuesNathan Lynch
If signalfd is used to consume a signal generated by a POSIX interval timer or POSIX message queue, the ssi_int field does not reflect the data (sigevent->sigev_value) supplied to timer_create(2) or mq_notify(3). (The ssi_ptr field, however, is filled in.) This behavior differs from signalfd's treatment of sigqueue-generated signals -- see the default case in signalfd_copyinfo. It also gives results that differ from the case when a signal is handled conventionally via a sigaction-registered handler. So, set signalfd_siginfo->ssi_int in the remaining cases (__SI_TIMER, __SI_MESGQ) where ssi_ptr is set. akpm: a non-back-compatible change.

2010-08-11blkdev: cgroup whitelist permission fixChris Wright
The cgroup device whitelist code gets confused when trying to grant permission to a disk partition that is not currently open. Part of blkdev_open() includes __blkdev_get() on the whole disk. Basically, the only ways to reliably allow a cgroup access to a partition on a block device when using the whitelist are to 1) also give it access to the whole block device or 2) make sure the partition is already open in a different context. The patch avoids the cgroup check for the whole disk case when opening a partition.

2010-08-11param: use ops in struct kernel_param, rather than get and set fns directlyRusty Russell
This is more kernel-ish, saves some space, and also allows us to expand the ops without breaking all the callers who are happy for the new members to be NULL. The few places which defined their own param types are changed to the new scheme (more which crept in recently fixed in following patches). Since we're touching them anyway, we change get() and set() to take a const struct kernel_param (which they really are). This causes some harmless warnings until we fix them (in following patches). To reduce churn, module_param_call creates the ops struct so the callers don't have to change (and casts the functions to reduce warnings). The modern version which takes an ops struct is called module_param_cb.

2010-08-11isofs: Fix lseek() to position beyond 4 GBJan Andres
isofs supports files larger than 4 GB by using multi-extent files. However an lseek() to a position beyond 4 GB in such a file will fail with EINVAL, because s_maxbytes in the isofs superblock is initialized to 2^32-1, and generic_file_llseek() checks against that value. I therefore suggest increasing the value of s_maxbytes to have full support for large files in isofs. With multi-extent files, file size is only limited by the maximum size of the file system (8 TB), so this seems a reasonable value for s_maxbytes.

2010-08-11vfs: remove unused MNT_STRICTATIMEMiklos Szeredi
Commit d0adde574b8487ef30f69e2d08bba769e4be513f added MNT_STRICTATIME but it isn't actually used (MS_STRICTATIME clears MNT_RELATIME and MNT_NOATIME rather than setting any mount flag). Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2010-08-11vfs: show unreachable paths in getcwd and procMiklos Szeredi
Prepend "(unreachable)" to path strings if the path is not reachable from the current root. Two places updated are - the return string from getcwd() - and symlinks under /proc/$PID. Other uses of d_path() are left unchanged (we know that some old software crashes if /proc/mounts is changed).

2010-08-11vfs: only add " (deleted)" where necessaryMiklos Szeredi
__d_path() has 4 callers: d_path() sys_getcwd() seq_path_root() tomoyo_realpath_from_path2() Of these the only one which needs the " (deleted)" ending is d_path(). sys_getcwd() checks for existence before calling __d_path(). seq_path_root() is used to show the mountpoint path in /proc/PID/mountinfo, which is always a positive. And tomoyo doesn't want the deleted ending. Create a helper "path_with_deleted()" as subsequent patches will need this in multiple places.

2010-08-11vfs: add prepend_path() helperMiklos Szeredi
Split off prepend_path() from __d_path(). This new helper takes an end-of-buffer pointer and buffer-length pointer just like the other prepend_* functions. Move the " (deleted)" postfix out to __d_path(). This patch doesn't change any functionality but paves the way for the following patches.

2010-08-11vfs: __d_path: dont prepend the name of the root dentryMiklos Szeredi
In the old times pseudo-filesystems set the name of theroot dentry to some prefix like "pipe:" and the name of the child dentry to "[123]" and relied on a hack in __d_path() to replace the preceding slash with the root's name to get "pipe:[123]". Then the d_dname() dentry operation was introduced which solved the same problem without having to pre-fill the name in each dentry. Currently the following pseudo filesystems exist in the kernel: perfmon mtd anon_inode bdev pipe socket Of these only perfmon, anon_inode, pipe and socket create sub-dentries, all of which have now been switched to using d_dname(). bdev and mtd only create inodes. This means that now the hack to overwrite the slash can be removed, so for unreachable paths (e.g. within a detached mount) the path string won't be polluted with garbage. For these cases a subsequent patch will add a prefix, indicating that the path is unreachable. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
