) From: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> - create one common dump_thread() prototype in kernel.h - dump_thread() is only used in fs/binfmt_aout.c and can therefore be removed on all architectures where CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT is not available Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-01-09[PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to mutex: VFS, sb->s_lockIngo Molnar

2006-01-09V4L (926_2): Moves compat32 functions from fs to v4l subsystemArnd Bergmann
This moves the 32 bit ioctl compatibility handlers for Video4Linux into a new file and adds explicit calls to them to each v4l device driver. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any code handling the v4l2 ioctls, so quite often the code goes through two separate conversions, first from 32 bit v4l to 64 bit v4l, and from there to 64 bit v4l2. My patch does not change that, so there is still much room for improvement. Also, some drivers have additional ioctl numbers, for which the conversion should be handled internally to that driver.

2006-01-09[ARM] Make Acorn partition types depend on ACORN_PARTITIONRussell King
balamurugan reported a problem where it was possible to have the various Acorn partition types selected in the configuration, but ACORN_PARTITION disabled. Since ACORN_PARTITION controls whether we build fs/partitions/acorn.c, this lead to undefined references to the adfspart_check_TYPE symbols. Fix this by making the Acorn partition type symbols depend on ACORN_PARTITION. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2006-01-08[PATCH] Fix handling of ELF segments with zero filesizeDavid Gibson
mmap() returns -EINVAL if given a zero length, and thus elf_map() in binfmt_elf.c does likewise if it attempts to map a (page-aligned) ELF segment with zero filesize. Such a situation never arises with the default linker scripts, but there's nothing inherently wrong with zero-filesize (but non-zero memsize) ELF segments. Custom linker scripts can generate them, and the kernel should be able to map them; this patch makes it so.

2006-01-08[PATCH] shrink dentry structEric Dumazet
Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple of memory cache lines. Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning (128 + 8 = 136 bytes) This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u), where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their memory needs. At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing. Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints) As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

2006-01-08[PATCH] do_coredump() should reset group_stop_count earlierOleg Nesterov
__group_complete_signal() sets ->group_stop_count in sig_kernel_coredump() path and marks the target thread as ->group_exit_task. So any thread except group_exit_task will go to handle_group_stop()->finish_stop(). However, when group_exit_task actually starts do_coredump(), it sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, but does not reset ->group_stop_count while killing other threads. If we have not yet stopped threads in the same thread group, they all will spin in kernel mode until group_exit_task sends them SIGKILL, because ->group_stop_count > 0 means: recalc_sigpending_tsk() never clears TIF_SIGPENDING get_signal_to_deliver() goes to handle_group_stop() handle_group_stop() returns when SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT set syscall_exit/resume_userspace notice TIF_SIGPENDING, call get_signal_to_deliver() again. So we are wasting cpu cycles, and if one of these threads is rt_task() this may be a serious problem. NOTE: do_coredump() holds ->mmap_sem, so not stopped threads can't escape coredumping after clearing ->group_stop_count.

(It'll fail for huge filesystems with blocksize<PAGE_CACHE_SIZE) - cramfs_read() needs to use sector_t (I think cramsfs is busted on large filesystems anyway) - affs is limited in file size anyway. - I generally didn't fix 32-bit overflows in directory operations. - arm's __flush_dcache_page() is peculiar.

2006-01-08[PATCH] Fix overflow tests for compat_sys_fcntl64 lockingNeilBrown
When making an fctl locking call through compat_sys_fcntl64 (i.e. a 32bit app on a 64bit kernel), the syscall can return a locking range that is in conflict with the queried lock. If some aspect of this range does not fit in the 32bit structure, something needs to be done. The current code is wrong in several respects: - It returns data to userspace even if no conflict was found i.e. it should check l_type for F_UNLCK - It returns -EOVERFLOW too agressively. A lock range covering the last possible byte of the file (start = COMPAT_OFF_T_MAX, len = 1) should be possible, but is rejected with the current test. - A extra-long 'len' should not be a problem. If only that part of the conflicting lock that would be visible to the 32bit app needs to be reported to the 32bit app anyway. This patch addresses those three issues and adds a comment to (hopefully) record it for posterity. Note: this patch mainly affects test-cases. Real applications rarely is ever see the problems. This patch has been tested (LSB test suite), and works.

2006-01-08[PATCH] Fix some problems with truncate and mtime semantics.NeilBrown
SUS requires that when truncating a file to the size that it currently is: truncate and ftruncate should NOT modify ctime or mtime O_TRUNC SHOULD modify ctime and mtime. Currently mtime and ctime are always modified on most local filesystems (side effect of ->truncate) or never modified (on NFS). With this patch: ATTR_CTIME|ATTR_MTIME are sent with ATTR_SIZE precisely when an update of these times is required whether size changes or not (via a new argument to do_truncate). This allows NFS to do the right thing for O_TRUNC. inode_setattr nolonger forces ATTR_MTIME|ATTR_CTIME when the ATTR_SIZE sets the size to it's current value. This allows local filesystems to do the right thing for f?truncate. Also, the logic in inode_setattr is changed a bit so there are two return points. One returns the error from vmtruncate if it failed, the other returns 0 (there can be no other failure). Finally, if vmtruncate succeeds, and ATTR_SIZE is the only change requested, we now fall-through and mark_inode_dirty. If a filesystem did not have a ->truncate function, then vmtruncate will have changed i_size, without marking the inode as 'dirty', and I think this is wrong.

2006-01-08[PATCH] relayfs: remove unused alloc/destroy_inode()Tom Zanussi
Since we're no longer using relayfs_inode_info, remove relayfs_alloc_inode() and relayfs_destroy_inode() along with the relayfs inode cache. Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-01-08[PATCH] relayfs: use generic_ip for private dataTom Zanussi
Use inode->u.generic_ip instead of relayfs_inode_info to store pointer to user data. Clients using relayfs_file_create() to create their own files would probably more expect their data to be stored in generic_ip; we also intend in the next set of patches to get rid of relayfs-specific stuff in the file operations, so we might as well do it here.

2006-01-08[PATCH] relayfs: add relayfs_remove_file()Tom Zanussi
This patch adds and exports relayfs_remove_file(), for API symmetry (with relayfs_create_file()). Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-01-08[PATCH] relayfs: export relayfs_create_file() with fileops paramTom Zanussi
This patch adds a mandatory fileops param to relayfs_create_file() and exports that function so that clients can use it to create files defined by their own set of file operations, in relayfs. The purpose is to allow relayfs applications to create their own set of 'control' files alongside their relay files in relayfs rather than having to create them in /proc or debugfs for instance. relayfs_create_file() is also used by relay_open_buf() to create the relay files for a channel. In this case, a pointer to relayfs_file_operations is passed in, along with a pointer to the buffer associated with the file.
