2007-05-06lockd: pass cookie in nlmsvc_testlockMarc Eshel
Change NLM internal interface to pass more information for test lock; we need this to make sure the cookie information is pushed down to the place where we do request deferral, which is handled for testlock by the following patch.

2007-05-06lockd: save lock state on deferralMarc Eshel
We need to keep some state for a pending asynchronous lock request, so this patch adds that state to struct nlm_block. This also adds a function which defers the request, by calling rqstp->rq_chandle.defer and storing the resulting deferred request in a nlm_block structure which we insert into lockd's global block list. That new function isn't called yet, so it's dead code until a later patch. Signed-off-by: Marc Eshel <eshel@almaden.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2007-05-06locks: add fl_grant callback for asynchronous lock returnMarc Eshel
Acquiring a lock on a cluster filesystem may require communication with remote hosts, and to avoid blocking lockd or nfsd threads during such communication, we allow the results to be returned asynchronously. When a ->lock() call needs to block, the file system will return -EINPROGRESS, and then later return the results with a call to the routine in the fl_grant field of the lock_manager_operations struct. This differs from the case when ->lock returns -EAGAIN to a blocking lock request; in that case, the filesystem calls fl_notify when the lock is granted, and the caller retries the original lock. So while fl_notify is merely a hint to the caller that it should retry, fl_grant actually communicates the final result of the lock operation (with the lock already acquired in the succesful case). Therefore fl_grant takes a lock, a status and, for the test lock case, a conflicting lock. We also allow fl_grant to return an error to the filesystem, to handle the case where the fl_grant requests arrives after the lock manager has already given up waiting for it.

2007-05-06locks: add lock cancel commandMarc Eshel
Lock managers need to be able to cancel pending lock requests. In the case where the exported filesystem manages its own locks, it's not sufficient just to call posix_unblock_lock(); we need to let the filesystem know what's happening too. We do this by adding a new fcntl lock command: FL_CANCELLK. Some day this might also be made available to userspace applications that could benefit from an asynchronous locking api.

2007-05-06locks: allow {vfs,posix}_lock_file to return conflicting lockMarc Eshel
The nfsv4 protocol's lock operation, in the case of a conflict, returns information about the conflicting lock. It's unclear how clients can use this, so for now we're not going so far as to add a filesystem method that can return a conflicting lock, but we may as well return something in the local case when it's easy to.

2007-05-06locks: factor out generic/filesystem switch from setlock codeMarc Eshel
Factor out the code that switches between generic and filesystem-specific lock methods; eventually we want to call this from lock managers (lockd and nfsd) too; currently they only call the generic methods. This patch does that for all the setlk code. Signed-off-by: Marc Eshel <eshel@almaden.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2007-05-06locks: factor out generic/filesystem switch from test_lockJ. Bruce Fields
Factor out the code that switches between generic and filesystem-specific lock methods; eventually we want to call this from lock managers (lockd and nfsd) too; currently they only call the generic methods. This patch does that for test_lock. Note that this hasn't been necessary until recently, because the few filesystems that define ->lock() (nfs, cifs...) aren't exportable via NFS. However GFS (and, in the future, other cluster filesystems) need to implement their own locking to get cluster-coherent locking, and also want to be able to export locking to NFS (lockd and NFSv4). So we accomplish this by factoring out code such as this and exporting it for the use of lockd and nfsd. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2007-05-06locks: give posix_test_lock same interface as ->lockMarc Eshel

2007-04-14NFS: Ensure PG_writeback is cleared when writeback failsTrond Myklebust
If the writebacks are cancelled via nfs_cancel_dirty_list, or due to the memory allocation failing in nfs_flush_one/nfs_flush_multi, then we must ensure that the PG_writeback flag is cleared. Also ensure that we actually own the PG_writeback flag whenever we schedule a new writeback by making nfs_set_page_writeback() return the value of test_set_page_writeback(). The PG_writeback page flag ends up replacing the functionality of the PG_FLUSHING nfs_page flag, so we rip that out too.

2007-04-10ide: correctly prevent IDE timer expiry function to run if request was ↵Suleiman Souhlal
already handled It is possible for the timer expiry function to run even though the request has already been handled: ide_timer_expiry() only checks that the handler is not NULL, but it is possible that we have handled a request (thus clearing the handler) and then started a new request (thus starting the timer again, and setting a handler). A simple way to exhibit this is to set the DMA timeout to 1 jiffy and run dd: The kernel will panic after a few minutes because ide_timer_expiry() tries to add a timer when it's already active. To fix this, we simply add a request generation count that gets incremented at every interrupt, and check in ide_timer_expiry() that we have not already handled a new interrupt before running the expiry function.

2007-04-08[PATCH] Proper fix for highmem kmap_atomic functions for VMI for 2.6.21Zachary Amsden
Since lazy MMU batching mode still allows interrupts to enter, it is possible for interrupt handlers to try to use kmap_atomic, which fails when lazy mode is active, since the PTE update to highmem will be delayed. The best workaround is to issue an explicit flush in kmap_atomic_functions case; this is the only way nested PTE updates can happen in the interrupt handler. Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for noting the bug and suggestions on a fix. This patch gets reverted again when we start 2.6.22 and the bug gets fixed differently.

2007-04-02[PATCH] Fix microcode-related suspend problemRafael J. Wysocki
Fix the regression resulting from the recent change of suspend code ordering that causes systems based on Intel x86 CPUs using the microcode driver to hang during the resume. The problem occurs since the microcode driver uses request_firmware() in its CPU hotplug notifier, which is called after tasks has been frozen and hangs. It can be fixed by telling the microcode driver to use the microcode stored in memory during the resume instead of trying to load it from disk. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
