2007-06-15splice: only check do_wakeup in splice_to_pipe() for a real pipeJens Axboe
We only ever set do_wakeup to non-zero if the pipe has an inode backing, so it's pointless to check outside the pipe->inode check. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-06-15splice: fix leak of pages on short splice to pipeJens Axboe
If the destination pipe is full and we already transferred data, we break out instead of waiting for more pipe room. The exit logic looks at spd->nr_pages to see if we moved everything inside the spd container, but we decrement that variable in the loop to decide when spd has emptied. Instead we want to compare to the original page count in the spd, so cache that in a local variable. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-06-15splice: adjust balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() callJens Axboe
As we have potentially dirtied more than 1 page, we should indicate as such to the dirty page balancing. So call balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_nr() and pass in the approximate number of pages we dirtied. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-06-12sysfs: fix race condition around sd->s_dentry, take#2Tejun Heo
Allowing attribute and symlink dentries to be reclaimed means sd->s_dentry can change dynamically. However, updates to the field are unsynchronized leading to race conditions. This patch adds sysfs_lock and use it to synchronize updates to sd->s_dentry. Due to the locking around ->d_iput, the check in sysfs_drop_dentry() is complex. sysfs_lock only protect sd->s_dentry pointer itself. The validity of the dentry is protected by dcache_lock, so whether dentry is alive or not can only be tested while holding both locks. This is minimal backport of sysfs_drop_dentry() rewrite in devel branch. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2007-06-12sysfs: fix condition check in sysfs_drop_dentry()Tejun Heo

2007-06-12sysfs: store sysfs inode nrs in s_ino to avoid readdir oopsesEric Sandeen
Backport of ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.22-rc1/2.6.22-rc1-mm1/broken-out/gregkh-driver-sysfs-allocate-inode-number-using-ida.patch For regular files in sysfs, sysfs_readdir wants to traverse sysfs_dirent->s_dentry->d_inode->i_ino to get to the inode number. But, the dentry can be reclaimed under memory pressure, and there is no synchronization with readdir. This patch follows Tejun's scheme of allocating and storing an inode number in the new s_ino member of a sysfs_dirent, when dirents are created, and retrieving it from there for readdir, so that the pointer chain doesn't have to be traversed. Tejun's upstream patch uses a new-ish "ida" allocator which brings along some extra complexity; this -stable patch has a brain-dead incrementing counter which does not guarantee uniqueness, but because sysfs doesn't hash inodes as iunique expects, uniqueness wasn't guaranteed today anyway.

2007-06-08[CIFS] CIFS should honour umaskSteve French
This patch makes CIFS honour a process' umask like other filesystems. Of course the server is still free to munge the permissions if it wants to; but the client will send the "right" permissions to begin with. A few caveats: 1) It only applies to filesystems that have CAP_UNIX (aka support unix extensions) 2) It applies the correct mode to the follow up CIFSSMBUnixSetPerms() after remote creation When mode to CIFS/NTFS ACL mapping is complete we can do the same thing for that case for servers which do not support the Unix Extensions.

2007-06-08splice: __generic_file_splice_read: fix read/truncate raceJens Axboe
Original patch and description from Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>, merged and adapted to splice branch by me. Neils text follows: __generic_file_splice_read() currently samples the i_size at the start and doesn't do so again unless it needs to call ->readpage to load a page. After ->readpage it has to re-sample i_size as a truncate may have caused that page to be filled with zeros, and the read() call should not see these. However there are other activities that might cause ->readpage to be called on a page between the time that __generic_file_splice_read() samples i_size and when it finds that it has an uptodate page. These include at least read-ahead and possibly another thread performing a read So we must sample i_size *after* it has an uptodate page. Thus the current sampling at the start and after a read can be replaced with a sampling before page addition into spd. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

In the manpage of fchmod, "EPERM: The effective UID does not match the owner of the file, and the process is not privileged (Linux: it does not have the CAP_FOWNER capability)."

2007-06-06ocfs2: Fix invalid assertion during write on 64k pagesMark Fasheh
The write path code intends to bug if a math error (or unhandled case) results in a write outside of the current cluster boundaries. The actual BUG_ON() statements however are incorrect, leading to a crash on kernels with 64k page size. Fix those by checking against the right variables.

2007-05-29[XFS] Write at EOF may not update filesize correctly.David Chinner
The recent fix for preventing NULL files from being left around does not update the file size corectly in all cases. The missing case is a write extending the file that does not need to allocate a block. In that case we used a read mapping of the extent which forced the use of the read I/O completion handler instead of the write I/O completion handle. Hence the file size was not updated on I/O completion.

2007-05-25fix compat console unimap regressionHugh Dickins
Why is it that since the 2f1a2ccb9c0de632ab07193becf5f7121794f6ae console UTF-8 fixes went into 2.6.22-rc1, the PowerMac G5 shows only inverse video question marks for the text on tty2-6? whereas tty1 is fine, and so is x86. No fault of that patch: by removing the old fallback behaviour, it reveals that 32-bit setfont running on 64-bit kernels has only really worked on the current console, the rest getting faked by that inadequate fallback. Bring the compat do_unimap_ioctl into line with the main one: PIO_UNIMAP and GIO_UNIMAP apply to the specified tty, not redirected to fg_console. Use the same checks, and most particularly, remember to check access_ok: con_set_unimap and con_get_unimap are using __get_user and __put_user. And the compat vt_check should ask for the same capability as the main one, CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG rather than CAP_SYS_ADMIN. Added in vt_ioctl's vc_cons_allocated check for safety, though failure may well be impossible.
