2012-08-10dlm: remove redundant variable assignmentsXue Ying
Once the tcp_create_listen_sock() is returned successfully, we will invoke add_sock() immediately. In add_sock(), the 'con' variable is assigned to 'sk_user_data', meanwhile, the 'sock' is also set to 'con->sock'. So it's unnecessary to do the same thing in tcp_create_listen_sock().

2012-08-09Btrfs: remove mnt_want_write call in btrfs_mksubvolAlexander Block
We got a recursive lock in mksubvol because the caller already held a lock. I think we got into this due to a merge error. Commit a874a63 removed the mnt_want_write call from btrfs_mksubvol and added a replacement call to mnt_want_write_file in btrfs_ioctl_snap_create_transid. Commit e7848683 however tried to move all calls to mnt_want_write above i_mutex. So somewhere while merging this, it got mixed up. The solution is to remove the mnt_want_write call completely from mksubvol.

2012-08-08NFSv4.1: Remove a bogus BUG_ON() in nfs4_layoutreturn_doneTrond Myklebust
Ever since commit 0a57cdac3f (NFSv4.1 send layoutreturn to fence disconnected data server) we've been sending layoutreturn calls while there is potentially still outstanding I/O to the data servers. The reason we do this is to avoid races between replayed writes to the MDS and the original writes to the DS. When this happens, the BUG_ON() in nfs4_layoutreturn_done can be triggered because it assumes that we would never call layoutreturn without knowing that all I/O to the DS is finished. The fix is to remove the BUG_ON() now that the assumptions behind the test are obsolete.

2012-08-08dlm: fix deadlock between dlm_send and dlm_controldDavid Teigland
A deadlock sometimes occurs between dlm_controld closing a lowcomms connection through configfs and dlm_send looking up the address for a new connection in configfs. dlm_controld does a configfs rmdir which calls dlm_lowcomms_close which waits for dlm_send to cancel work on the workqueues. The dlm_send workqueue thread has called tcp_connect_to_sock which calls dlm_nodeid_to_addr which does a configfs lookup and blocks on a lock held by dlm_controld in the rmdir path. The solution here is to save the node addresses within the lowcomms code so that the lowcomms workqueue does not need to step through configfs to get a node address. dlm_controld: wait_for_completion+0x1d/0x20 __cancel_work_timer+0x1b3/0x1e0 cancel_work_sync+0x10/0x20 dlm_lowcomms_close+0x4c/0xb0 [dlm] drop_comm+0x22/0x60 [dlm] client_drop_item+0x26/0x50 [configfs] configfs_rmdir+0x180/0x230 [configfs] vfs_rmdir+0xbd/0xf0 do_rmdir+0x103/0x120 sys_rmdir+0x16/0x20 dlm_send: mutex_lock+0x2b/0x50 get_comm+0x34/0x140 [dlm] dlm_nodeid_to_addr+0x18/0xd0 [dlm] tcp_connect_to_sock+0xf4/0x2d0 [dlm] process_send_sockets+0x1d2/0x260 [dlm] worker_thread+0x170/0x2a0 Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>
2012-08-06fuse: verify all ioctl retry iov elementsZach Brown
Commit 7572777eef78ebdee1ecb7c258c0ef94d35bad16 attempted to verify that the total iovec from the client doesn't overflow iov_length() but it only checked the first element. The iovec could still overflow by starting with a small element. The obvious fix is to check all the elements. The overflow case doesn't look dangerous to the kernel as the copy is limited by the length after the overflow. This fix restores the intention of returning an error instead of successfully copying less than the iovec represented. I found this by code inspection. I built it but don't have a test case.

2012-08-05ext4: avoid kmemcheck complaint from reading uninitialized memoryTheodore Ts'o
Commit 03179fe923 introduced a kmemcheck complaint in ext4_da_get_block_prep() because we save and restore ei->i_da_metadata_calc_last_lblock even though it is left uninitialized in the case where i_da_metadata_calc_len is zero. This doesn't hurt anything, but silencing the kmemcheck complaint makes it easier for people to find real bugs.

2012-08-05ext4: make sure the journal sb is written in ext4_clear_journal_err()Theodore Ts'o
After we transfer set the EXT4_ERROR_FS bit in the file system superblock, it's not enough to call jbd2_journal_clear_err() to clear the error indication from journal superblock --- we need to call jbd2_journal_update_sb_errno() as well. Otherwise, when the root file system is mounted read-only, the journal is replayed, and the error indicator is transferred to the superblock --- but the s_errno field in the jbd2 superblock is left set (since although we cleared it in memory, we never flushed it out to disk). This can end up confusing e2fsck. We should make e2fsck more robust in this case, but the kernel shouldn't be leaving things in this confused state, either.

2012-08-04pstore/ram: Mark ramoops_pstore_write_buf() as notraceAnton Vorontsov
write_buf() should be marked as notrace, otherwise it is prone to recursion. Though, yet the issue is never triggered in real life, because we run inside the function tracer, where ftrace does its own recurse protection.

2012-08-04pstore/ram: Fix possible NULL dereferenceAnton Vorontsov
We can dereference 'cxt->cprz' if console and dump logging are disabled (which is unlikely, but still possible to do). This patch fixes the issue by changing the code so that we don't dereference przs at all, we can just calculate bufsize from console_size and record_size values. Plus, while at it, the patch improves the buffer size calculation. After Kay's printk rework, we know the optimal buffer size for console logging -- it is LOG_LINE_MAX (defined privately in printk.c). Previously, if only console logging was enabled, we would allocate unnecessary large buffer in pstore, while we only need LOG_LINE_MAX. (Pstore console logging is still capable of handling buffers > LOG_LINE_MAX, it will just do multiple calls to psinfo->write). Note that I don't export the constant, since we will do even a better thing soon: we will switch console logging to a new write_buf API, which will eliminate the need for the additional buffer; and so we won't need the constant.

2012-08-04vfs: kill write_super and sync_supersArtem Bityutskiy
Finally we can kill the 'sync_supers' kernel thread along with the '->write_super()' superblock operation because all the users are gone. Now every file-system is supposed to self-manage own superblock and its dirty state. The nice thing about killing this thread is that it improves power management. Indeed, 'sync_supers' is a source of monotonic system wake-ups - it woke up every 5 seconds no matter what - even if there were no dirty superblocks and even if there were no file-systems using this service (e.g., btrfs and journalled ext4 do not need it). So it was wasting power most of the time. And because the thread was in the core of the kernel, all systems had to have it. So I am quite happy to make it go away. Interestingly, this thread is a left-over from the pdflush kernel thread which was a self-forking kernel thread responsible for all the write-back in old Linux kernels. It was turned into per-block device BDI threads, and 'sync_supers' was a left-over. Thus, R.I.P, pdflush as well.

2012-08-02pnfs-obj: Better IO pattern in case of unaligned offsetBoaz Harrosh
Depending on layout and ARCH, ORE has some limits on max IO sizes which is communicated on (what else) ore_layout->max_io_length, which is always stripe aligned. This was considered as the pg_test boundary for splitting and starting a new IO. But in the case of a long IO where the start offset is not aligned what would happen is that both end of IO[N] and start of IO[N+1] would be unaligned, causing each IO boundary parity unit to be calculated and written twice. So what we do in this patch is split the very start of an unaligned IO, up to a stripe boundary, and then next IO's can continue fully aligned til the end. We might be sacrificing the case where the full unaligned IO would fit within a single max_io_length, but the sacrifice is well worth the elimination of double calculation and parity units IO. Actually the sacrificing is marginal and is almost unmeasurable. TODO: If we know the total expected linear segment that will be received, at pg_init, we could use that information in many places: 1. blocks-layout get_layout write segment size 2. Better mds-threshold 3. In above situation for a better clean split I will do this in future submission.

It is very common for the end of the file to be unaligned on stripe size. But since we know it's beyond file's end then the XOR should be preformed with all zeros.

But what scares me more about this situation is that, we now have pages attached to the file's mapping that are beyond i_size. I don't like the kind of bugs this calls for.
