The CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID flag is used by NPTL to have its threads
communicate via memory/futex when they exit, so pthread_join can
synchronize using a simple futex wait. The word of user memory where NPTL
stores a thread's own TID is what it passes; this gets reset to zero at
thread exit.
It is not desireable to touch this user memory when threads are dying due
to a fatal signal. A core dump is more usefully representative of the
dying program state if the threads live at the time of the crash have their
NPTL data structures unperturbed. The userland expectation of
CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID has only ever been that it works for a thread making
an _exit system call.

fs/9p/vfs_inode.c
Function v9fs_get_idpool returns int, not u32. Actually it returns -1 on
errors, and these two callers check if the value is smaller than 0, which
was caught by gcc with extra warning flags. Compile tested only but should
be OK, as the value computed in v9fs_get_idpool() is also int.

I've been using Steve Grubb's purely evil "fsfuzzer" tool, at
http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/fsfuzzer-0.4.tar.gz
Basically it makes a filesystem, splats some random bits over it, then
tries to mount it and do some simple filesystem actions.
At best, the filesystem catches the corruption gracefully. At worst,
things spin out of control.
As you might guess, we found a couple places in ext4 where things spin out
of control :)
First, we had a corrupted directory that was never checked for
consistency... it was corrupt, and pointed to another bad "entry" of
length 0. The for() loop looped forever, since the length of
ext4_next_entry(de) was 0, and we kept looking at the same pointer over and
over and over and over... I modeled this check and subsequent action on
what is done for other directory types in ext4_readdir...
(adding this check adds some computational expense; I am testing a followup
patch to reduce the number of times we check and re-check these directory
entries, in all cases. Thanks for the idea, Andreas).
Next we had a root directory inode which had a corrupted size, claimed to
be > 200M on a 4M filesystem. There was only really 1 block in the
directory, but because the size was so large, readdir kept coming back for
more, spewing thousands of printk's along the way.
Per Andreas' suggestion, if we're in this read error condition and we're
trying to read an offset which is greater than i_blocks worth of bytes,
stop trying, and break out of the loop.
With these two changes fsfuzz test survives quite well on ext4.

itself, or, in case a module includes other headers already, needs to put

which would create a new lock dependency:

but this new dependency connects a hard-irq-safe lock:

Move ide_remove_proc_entries() out from under ide_lock; there is nothing
that indicates that this is needed.
In specific, the call to ide_add_proc_entries() is unprotected, and there
is nothing else in the file using the respective ->proc fields. Also the
lock order around destroy_proc_ide_interface() suggests this.
Alan sayeth:
proc_ide_write_settings walks the setting list under ide_setting_sem, read
ditto. remove_proc_entry is doing proc side housekeeping.
Looks fine to me, although that old code is such a mess anything could be
going on.

One of our test team hit a reiserfs_panic while running fsstress tests on
2.6.19-rc1. The message looks like :
REISERFS: panic(device Null superblock):
reiserfs[5676]: assertion !(p->path_length != 1 ) failed at
fs/reiserfs/stree.c:397:reiserfs_check_path: path not properly relsed.

Upon debugging I found that the restart_transaction was not releasing
the path if the th->refcount was > 1.
/*static*/
int restart_transaction(struct reiserfs_transaction_handle *th,
struct inode *inode, struct path *path)
{
[...]
/* we cannot restart while nested */
if (th->t_refcount > 1) { <<- Path is not released in this case!
return 0;
}
pathrelse(path); <<- Path released here.
[...]
This could happen in such a situation :
In reiserfs/inode.c: reiserfs_get_block() ::
if (repeat == NO_DISK_SPACE || repeat == QUOTA_EXCEEDED) {
/* restart the transaction to give the journal a chance to free
** some blocks. releases the path, so we have to go back to
** research if we succeed on the second try
*/
SB_JOURNAL(inode->i_sb)->j_next_async_flush = 1;
-->> retval = restart_transaction(th, inode, &path); <<--
We are supposed to release the path, no matter we succeed or fail. But
if the th->refcount is > 1, the path is still valid. And,
if (retval)
goto failure;
repeat =
_allocate_block(th, block, inode,
&allocated_block_nr, NULL, create);
If the above allocate_block fails with NO_DISK_SPACE or QUOTA_EXCEEDED,
we would have path which is not released.
if (repeat != NO_DISK_SPACE && repeat != QUOTA_EXCEEDED) {
goto research;
}
if (repeat == QUOTA_EXCEEDED)
retval = -EDQUOT;
else
retval = -ENOSPC;
goto failure;
[...]
failure:
[...]
reiserfs_check_path(&path); << Panics here !
Attached here is a patch which could fix the issue.
fix reiserfs/inode.c : restart_transaction() to release the path in all
cases.
The restart_transaction() doesn't release the path when the the journal
handle has a refcount > 1. This would trigger a reiserfs_panic() if we
encounter an -ENOSPC / -EDQUOT in reiserfs_get_block().

free_fdtable_rc() schedules timer to reschedule fddef->wq if
schedule_work() on it returns 0. However, schedule_work() guarantees that
the target work is executed at least once after the scheduling regardless
of its return value. 0 return simply means that the work was already
pending and thus no further action was required.
Another problem is that it used contant '5' as @expires argument to
mod_timer().

I never intended this, but people started using fuse to implement block device
based "real" filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs).
The following four patches add better support for these kinds of filesystems.
Unlike "normal" fuse filesystems, using this feature should require superuser
privileges (enforced by the fusermount utility).
Thanks to Szabolcs Szakacsits for the input and testing.
This patch adds a 'fuseblk' filesystem type, which is only different from the

This patch addresses incorrect symbol type information reported through
/proc/kallsyms. A lowercase character should designate the symbol as local
(or non-exported). An uppercase character should designate the symbol as
global (or external).
Without this patch, some non-exported symbols are incorrectly assigned an
upper-case designation in /proc/kallsyms. This patch corrects this
condition by converting non-exported symbols types to lower case when
appropriate and eliminates the superfluous upcase_if_global function

Stick NFS sockets in their own class to avoid some lockdep warnings. NFS
sockets are never exposed to user-space, and will hence not trigger certain
code paths that would otherwise pose deadlock scenarios.

Add a driver for the Xilinx uartlite serial controller used in boards with
the PPC405 core in the Xilinx V2P/V4 fpgas.
The hardware is very simple (baudrate/start/stopbits fixed and no break
support). See the datasheet for details:
http://www.xilinx.com/bvdocs/ipcenter/data_sheet/opb_uartlite.pdf
See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.serial/1237/ for the email thread.

check_partition() stops its probe once it hits an I/O error from the
partition checkers. This would prevent the actual partition checker
getting a chance to verify the partition.
So this patch lets check_partition() continue probing untill it hits a
success while recording the I/O error which might have been reported by the
checking routines.
Also, it does some cleanup of the partition methods for ibm, atari and
amiga to return -1 upon hitting an I/O error.

The current rescan_partition implementation ignores the errors that comes from
the lower layer. It reports success for unknown partitions as well as I/O
error cases while reading the partition information.
The unknown partition is not (and will not be) considered as an error in the
kernel, since there are legal users of it (e.g, members of a RAID5 MD Device
or a new disk which is not partitioned at all ). Changing this behaviour
would scare the user about a serious problem with their disk and is not
recommended. Thus for both "unknown partitions" to the Linux (eg., DEC
VMS,Novell Netware) and the legal users of NULL partition, would still be
reported as "SUCCESS".
The patch attached here, scares the user about something which he does need to
worry about. i.e, returning -EIO on disk I/O errors while reading the
partition information.
