2008-07-15lockd: eliminate duplicate nlmsvc_lookup_host call from nlmsvc_testlockJeff Layton
nlmsvc_testlock calls nlmsvc_lookup_host to find a nlm_host struct. The callers of this functions, however, call nlmsvc_retrieve_args or nlm4svc_retrieve_args, which also return a nlm_host struct. Change nlmsvc_testlock to take a host arg instead of calling nlmsvc_lookup_host itself and change the callers to pass a pointer to the nlm_host they've already found. We take a reference to host in the place where nlmsvc_testlock() previous did a new lookup, so the reference counting is unchanged from before.

2008-07-02svcrdma: Limit ORD based on client's advertised IRDTom Tucker
When adapters have differing IRD limits, the RDMA transport will fail to connect properly. The RDMA transport should use the client's advertised inbound read limit when computing its outbound read limit. For iWARP transports, there is currently no standard for exchanging IRD/ORD during connection establishment so the 'responder_resources' field in the connect event is the local device's limit. The RDMA transport can be configured to use a smaller ORD by writing the desired number to the /proc/sys/sunrpc/svc_rdma/max_outbound_read_requests file.

2008-06-30nfsd: treat all shutdown signals as equivalentJeff Layton
knfsd currently uses 2 signal masks when processing requests. A "loose" mask (SHUTDOWN_SIGS) that it uses when receiving network requests, and then a more "strict" mask (ALLOWED_SIGS, which is just SIGKILL) that it allows when doing the actual operation on the local storage. This is apparently unnecessarily complicated. The underlying filesystem should be able to sanely handle a signal in the middle of an operation. This patch removes the signal mask handling from knfsd altogether. When knfsd is started as a kthread, all signals are ignored. It then allows all of the signals in SHUTDOWN_SIGS. There's no need to set the mask as well. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

2008-06-30nfsd: fix spurious EACCESS in reconnect_path()Neil Brown
Thanks to Frank Van Maarseveen for the original problem report: "A privileged process on an NFS client which drops privileges after using them to change the current working directory, will experience incorrect EACCES after an NFS server reboot. This problem can also occur after memory pressure on the server, particularly when the client side is quiet for some time." This occurs because the filehandle points to a directory whose parents are no longer in the dentry cache, and we're attempting to reconnect the directory to its parents without adequate permissions to perform lookups in the parent directories. We can therefore fix the problem by acquiring the necessary capabilities before attempting the reconnection. We do this only in the no_subtree_check case, since the documented behavior of the subtree_check export option requires the server to check that the user has lookup permissions on all parents. The subtree_check case still has a problem, since reconnect_path() unnecessarily requires both read and lookup permissions on all parent directories. However, a fix in that case would be more delicate, and use of subtree_check is already discouraged for other reasons.

2008-06-30x86: fix cpu hotplug crashZhang, Yanmin
Vegard Nossum reported crashes during cpu hotplug tests: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121413950227884&w=4 In function _cpu_up, the panic happens when calling __raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time. Kernel doesn't panic when calling it at the first time. If just say because of nr_cpu_ids, that's not right. By checking the source code, I found that function do_boot_cpu is the culprit. Consider below call chain: _cpu_up=>__cpu_up=>smp_ops.cpu_up=>native_cpu_up=>do_boot_cpu. So do_boot_cpu is called in the end. In do_boot_cpu, if boot_error==true, cpu_clear(cpu, cpu_possible_map) is executed. So later on, when _cpu_up calls __raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time to report CPU_UP_CANCELED, because this cpu is already cleared from cpu_possible_map, get_cpu_sysdev returns NULL. Many resources are related to cpu_possible_map, so it's better not to change it. Below patch against 2.6.26-rc7 fixes it by removing the bit clearing in cpu_possible_map.

2008-06-29sched: fix cpu hotplugDmitry Adamushko
the CPU hotplug problems (crashes under high-volume unplug+replug tests) seem to be related to migrate_dead_tasks(). Firstly I added traces to see all tasks being migrated with migrate_live_tasks() and migrate_dead_tasks(). On my setup the problem pops up (the one with "se == NULL" in the loop of pick_next_task_fair()) shortly after the traces indicate that some has been migrated with migrate_dead_tasks()). btw., I can reproduce it much faster now with just a plain cpu down/up loop. [disclaimer] Well, unless I'm really missing something important in this late hour [/desclaimer] pick_next_task() is not something appropriate for migrate_dead_tasks() :-) the following change seems to eliminate the problem on my setup (although, I kept it running only for a few minutes to get a few messages indicating migrate_dead_tasks() does move tasks and the system is still ok) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-06-26V4L/DVB (8108): Fix open/close race in saa7134Arjan van de Ven
The saa7134 driver uses a (non-atomic) variable in an attempt to only allow one opener of the device (how it deals with sending the fd over unix sockets I don't know). Unfortunately, the release function first decrements this variable, and THEN goes on to disable more of the device. This allows for a race where another opener of the device comes in after the decrement of the variable, configures the hardware just to then see the hardware be disabled by the rest of the release function. This patch makes the release function use the same lock as the open function to protect the hardware as well as the variable (which now at least has some locking to protect it).
