2011-03-17Btrfs: simplify our write pathJosef Bacik
Our aio_write function is huge and kind of hard to follow at times. So this patch fixes this by breaking out the buffered and direct write paths out into seperate functions so it's a little clearer what's going on. I've also fixed some wrong typing that we had and added the ability to handle getting an error back from btrfs_set_extent_delalloc. Tested this with xfstests and everything came out fine. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>

2011-03-17block: Require subsystems to explicitly allocate bio_set integrity mempoolMartin K. Petersen
MD and DM create a new bio_set for every metadevice. Each bio_set has an integrity mempool attached regardless of whether the metadevice is capable of passing integrity metadata. This is a waste of memory. Instead we defer the allocation decision to MD and DM since we know at metadevice creation time whether integrity passthrough is needed or not. Automatic integrity mempool allocation can then be removed from bioset_create() and we make an explicit integrity allocation for the fs_bio_set. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2011-03-16ext4: Initialize fsync transaction ids in ext4_new_inode()Theodore Ts'o
When allocating a new inode, we need to make sure i_sync_tid and i_datasync_tid are initialized. Otherwise, one or both of these two values could be left initialized to zero, which could potentially result in BUG_ON in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction. (This could happen by having journal->commit_request getting set to zero, which could wake up the kjournald process even though there is no running transaction, which then causes a BUG_ON via the J_ASSERT(j_ruinning_transaction != NULL) statement.

2011-03-16Increase OSF partition limit from 8 to 18Linus Torvalds
It turns out that while a maximum of 8 partitions may be what people "should" have had, you can actually fit up to 18 entries(*) in a sector. And some people clearly were taking advantage of that, like Michael Cree, who had ten partitions on one of his OSF disks. (*) The OSF partition data starts at byte offset 64 in the first sector, and the array of 16-byte partition entries start at offset 148 in the on-disk partition structure.

2011-03-16prune back iprune_semChristoph Hellwig
iprune_sem is continously giving us lockdep warnings because we do take it in read mode in the reclaim path, but we're also doing non-NOFS allocations under it taken in write mode. Taking a bit deeper look at it I think it's fixable quite trivially: - for invalidate_inodes we do not need iprune_sem at all. We have an active reference on the superblock, so the filesystem is not going away until it has finished. - for evict_inodes we do need it, to make sure prune_icache has done it's work before we tear down the superblock. But there is no reason to hold it over the actual reclaim operation - it's enough to cycle through it after the actual reclaim to make sure we wait for any pending prune_icache to complete. We just have to remove the WARN_ON for otherwise busy inodes as they can actually happen now. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Handle the rare case where a directory metadata block is uncompressed and corrupted, leading to a kernel oops in directory scanning (memcpy). Normally corruption is detected at the decompression stage and dealt with then, however, this will not happen if: - metadata isn't compressed (users can optionally request no metadata compression), or - the compressed metadata block was larger than the original, in which case the uncompressed version was used, or - the data was corrupt after decompression This patch fixes this by adding some sanity checks against known maximum values.

2011-03-15VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression in kernel 2.6.38Trond Myklebust
The new vfs locking scheme introduced in 2.6.38 breaks NFS sillyrename because the latter relies on being able to determine the parent directory of the dentry in the ->iput() callback in order to send the appropriate unlink rpc call. Looking at the code that cares about races with dput(), there doesn't seem to be anything that specifically uses d_parent as a test for whether or not there is a race: - __d_lookup_rcu(), __d_lookup() all test for d_hashed() after d_parent - shrink_dcache_for_umount() is safe since nothing else can rearrange the dentries in that super block. - have_submount(), select_parent() and d_genocide() can test for a deletion if we set the DCACHE_DISCONNECTED flag when the dentry is removed from the parent's d_subdirs list.

2011-03-15Turn resolution of trailing symlinks iterative everywhereAl Viro
The last remaining place (resolution of nested symlink) converted to the loop of the same kind we have in path_lookupat() and path_openat(). Note that we still *do* have a recursion in pathname resolution; can't avoid it, really. However, it's strictly for nested symlinks now - i.e. ones in the middle of a pathname. link_path_walk() has lost the tail now - it always walks everything except the last component. do_follow_link() renamed to nested_symlink() and moved down.
