2006-10-11[PATCH] VM: Fix the gfp_mask in invalidate_complete_page2Trond Myklebust
If try_to_release_page() is called with a zero gfp mask, then the filesystem is effectively denied the possibility of sleeping while attempting to release the page. There doesn't appear to be any valid reason why this should be banned, given that we're not calling this from a memory allocation context. For this reason, change the gfp_mask argument of the call to GFP_KERNEL.

2006-10-11[PATCH] bitmap: parse input from kernel and user buffersReinette Chatre
lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a user buffer. This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc function of the /proc filesystem operates. This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user(). We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the buffer differently. We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for kernel and user. This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel buffers. We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the upcoming bandwidth allocator code. Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.

2006-10-11[PATCH] sched: likely profilingNick Piggin
This likely profiling is pretty fun. I found a few possible problems in sched.c. This patch may be not measurable, but when I did measure long ago, nooping (un)likely cost a couple of % on scheduler heavy benchmarks, so it all adds up. Tweak some branch hints: - the 2nd 64 bits in the bitmask is likely to be populated, because it contains the first 28 bits (nearly 3/4) of the normal priorities. (ratio of 669669:691 ~= 1000:1). - it isn't unlikely that context switching switches to another process. it might be very rapidly switching to and from the idle process (ratio of 475815:419004 and 471330:423544). Let the branch predictor decide. - preempt_enable seems to be very often called in a nested preempt_disable or with interrupts disabled (ratio of 3567760:87965 ~= 40:1) Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Daniel Walker <dwalker@mvista.com> Cc: Hua Zhong <hzhong@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-10-11[PATCH] ext2: errors behaviour fixVasily Averin
Current error behaviour for ext2 and ext3 filesystems does not fully correspond to the documentation and should be fixed. According to man 8 mount, ext2 and ext3 file systems allow to set one of 3 different on-errors behaviours: ---- start of quote man 8 mount ---- errors=continue / errors=remount-ro / errors=panic Define the behaviour when an error is encountered. (Either ignore errors and just mark the file system erroneous and continue, or remount the file system read-only, or panic and halt the system.) The default is set in the filesystem superblock, and can be changed using tune2fs(8). ---- end of quote ---- However EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock, and thus ERRORS_CONT is not saved on the sbi->s_mount_opt. It leads to the incorrect handle of errors on ext3. Then we've checked corresponding code in ext2 and discovered that it is buggy as well: - EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock (the same); - parse_option() does not clean the alternative values and thus something like (ERRORS_CONT|ERRORS_RO) can be set; - if options are omitted, parse_option() does not set any of these options. Therefore it is possible to set any combination of these options on the ext2: - none of them may be set: EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE on superblock / empty mount options; - any of them may be set using mount options; - 2 any options may be set: by using EXT2_ERRORS_RO/EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the superblock and other value in mount options; - and finally all three options may be set by adding third option in remount. Currently ext2 uses these values only in ext2_error() and it is not leading to any noticeable troubles. However somebody may be discouraged when he will try to workaround EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the superblock by using errors=continue in mount options. This patch: EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE should be read from the superblock as default value for error behaviour. parse_option() should clean the alternative options and should not change default value taken from the superblock.

2006-10-11[PATCH] epoll_pwait()Davide Libenzi
Implement the epoll_pwait system call, that extend the event wait mechanism with the same logic ppoll and pselect do. The definition of epoll_pwait is: int epoll_pwait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents, int timeout, const sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sigsetsize); The difference between the vanilla epoll_wait and epoll_pwait is that the latter allows the caller to specify a signal mask to be set while waiting for events. Hence epoll_pwait will wait until either one monitored event, or an unmasked signal happen. If sigmask is NULL, the epoll_pwait system call will act exactly like epoll_wait.

This means that all code executed in the context of the kevent thread is allocating node local.

2006-10-11[PATCH] ext4: errors behaviour fixDmitry Mishin
Current error behaviour for ext2 and ext3 filesystems does not fully correspond to the documentation and should be fixed. According to man 8 mount, ext2 and ext3 file systems allow to set one of 3 different on-errors behaviours: ---- start of quote man 8 mount ---- errors=continue / errors=remount-ro / errors=panic Define the behaviour when an error is encountered. (Either ignore errors and just mark the file system erroneous and continue, or remount the file system read-only, or panic and halt the system.) The default is set in the filesystem superblock, and can be changed using tune2fs(8). ---- end of quote ---- However EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock, and thus ERRORS_CONT is not saved on the sbi->s_mount_opt. It leads to the incorrect handle of errors on ext3. Then we've checked corresponding code in ext2 and discovered that it is buggy as well: - EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock (the same); - parse_option() does not clean the alternative values and thus something like (ERRORS_CONT|ERRORS_RO) can be set; - if options are omitted, parse_option() does not set any of these options. Therefore it is possible to set any combination of these options on the ext2: - none of them may be set: EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE on superblock / empty mount options; - any of them may be set using mount options; - 2 any options may be set: by using EXT2_ERRORS_RO/EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the superblock and other value in mount options; - and finally all three options may be set by adding third option in remount. Currently ext2 uses these values only in ext2_error() and it is not leading to any noticeable troubles. However somebody may be discouraged when he will try to workaround EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the superblock by using errors=continue in mount options. This patch: EXT4_ERRORS_CONTINUE should be taken from the superblock as default value for error behaviour.

2006-10-11[PATCH] ext4: rename logic_sb_blockAndrew Morton
I assume this means "logical sb block". So call it that. I still don't understand the name though. A block is a block. What's different about this one? Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-10-11[PATCH] ext4 64 bit divide fixAndrew Morton
With CONFIG_LBD=n, sector_div() expands to a plain old divide. But ext4 is _not_ passing in a sector_t as the first argument, so... fs/built-in.o: In function `ext4_get_group_no_and_offset': fs/ext4/balloc.c:39: undefined reference to `__umoddi3' fs/ext4/balloc.c:41: undefined reference to `__udivdi3' fs/built-in.o: In function `find_group_orlov': fs/ext4/ialloc.c:278: undefined reference to `__udivdi3' fs/built-in.o: In function `ext4_fill_super': fs/ext4/super.c:1488: undefined reference to `__udivdi3' fs/ext4/super.c:1488: undefined reference to `__umoddi3' fs/ext4/super.c:1594: undefined reference to `__udivdi3' fs/ext4/super.c:1601: undefined reference to `__umoddi3' Fix that up by calling do_div() directly. Also cast the arg to u64. do_div() is only defined on u64, and ext4_fsblk_t is supposed to be opaque. Note especially the changes to find_group_orlov(). It was attempting to do do_div(int, unsigned long long); which is royally screwed up. Switched it to plain old divide.

2006-10-11[PATCH] ext4: removesector_t bits checkMingming Cao
Previously when in-kernel ext4 block type is sector_t, it's only 4 bits long under some 32bit arch (when CONFIG_LBD is not on). So we need to check the size of sector_t before we read 48bit long on-disk blocks to in-kernel blocks. These checks are unnecessary now as we changed the in-kernel blocks to unsigned longlong.
