2006-06-09NFSv4: Some NFSv4 servers have broken behaviour for the change attributeTrond Myklebust
The Linux NFSv4 server violates RFC3530 in that the change attribute is not guaranteed to be updated for every change to the inode. Our optimisation for checking whether or not the inode metadata has changed or not is broken too. Grr.... Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2006-06-09NFS: Clean up and fix page zeroing when we have short readsTrond Myklebust
The code that is supposed to zero the uninitialised partial pages when the server returns a short read is currently broken: it looks at the nfs_page wb_pgbase and wb_bytes fields instead of the equivalent nfs_read_data values when deciding where to start truncating the page. Also ensure that we are more careful about setting PG_uptodate before retrying a short read: the retry will change the nfs_read_data args.pgbase and args.count.

2006-06-08[PATCH] s390: fix in-user atomic futex operation.Martin Schwidefsky
From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> __futex_atomic_op needs to do an atomic operation in the user address space, not the kernel address space. Add the missing sacf 256/sacf 0 to switch to the secondary mode before doing the compare-and-swap. In addition add another fixup for catch specification exceptions if the compare-and-swap address is not aligned.

2006-06-08[PATCH] debugfs inode leakJens Axboe
Looking at the reiser4 crash, I found a leak in debugfs. In debugfs_mknod(), we create the inode before checking if the dentry already has one attached. We don't free it if that is the case. These bugs happen quite often, I'm starting to think we should disallow such coding in CodingStyle. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-06-08[PATCH] elevator switching raceJens Axboe
There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be invoked with bad or NULL data. To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer. Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be run without the lock held. This isn't easily fixable, without also changing the mempool API. So split the initialization into two parts, and alloc-init operation and an attach operation. Then we can preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach inside the lock after we detach the old one. This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching with a very busy io load. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

From: "Andy Currid" <ACurrid@nvidia.com> This patch fixes a kernel panic during boot that occurs on NVIDIA platforms that have HPET enabled. When HPET is enabled, the standard timer IRQ is routed to IOAPIC pin 2 and is advertised as such in the ACPI APIC table - but an earlier workaround in the kernel was ignoring this override.

2006-06-05[TCP]: Avoid skb_pull if possible when trimming headHerbert Xu ~{PmVHI~}
Trimming the head of an skb by calling skb_pull can cause the packet to become unaligned if the length pulled is odd. Since the length is entirely arbitrary for a FIN packet carrying data, this is actually quite common. Unaligned data is not the end of the world, but we should avoid it if it's easily done. In this case it is trivial. Since we're discarding all of the head data it doesn't matter whether we move skb->data forward or back. However, it is still possible to have unaligned skb->data in general. So network drivers should be prepared to handle it instead of crashing. This patch also adds an unlikely marking on len < headlen since partial ACKs on head data are extremely rare in the wild. As the return value of __pskb_trim_head is no longer ever NULL that has been removed. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu ~{PmV>HI~} <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
