2008-02-20Remove empty file remnants that were left in the tree by mistakeLinus Torvalds
Noted by various people (Sam, Jeff, Roland..) Commit 58b7983d15a422d9616bdc4e245d5c31dfaefbe2 intended to remove the xfs "Makefile-linux-2.6" file, but it was mistakenly still left in the tree as a empty file, and would cause git to correctly complain about a tracked file being removed after a "make distclean" (which removes empty files as garbage). And the asm-x86/desc_64.h file was supposed to be removed by commit c81c6ca45a69478c7877b729af1942d2b80ef582, but instead stayed around containing just a single newline. Get rid of them both properly. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-02-14dentries: Extract common code to remove dentry from lruChristoph Lameter
Extract the common code to remove a dentry from the lru into a new function dentry_lru_remove(). Two call sites used list_del() instead of list_del_init(). AFAIK the performance of both is the same. dentry_lru_remove() does a list_del_init(). As a result dentry->d_lru is now always empty when a dentry is freed.

This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata. Together with the other patches of this series - it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on <dentry,vfsmount> pairs - it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed - it reduces the overall code size: without patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5321639 858418 715768 6895825 6938d1 vmlinux with patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5320026 858418 715768 6894212 693284 vmlinux This patch: Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

The warning issued by fs/binfmt_flat.c when the format handler is given a non-FLAT and non-script executable is annoying to say the least when working with FDPIC ELF objects. If you build a kernel that supports both FLAT and FDPIC ELFs on no-mmu, every time you execute an FDPIC ELF, the kernel spits out this message. While I understand a lot of newcomers to the no-mmu world screw up generation of FLAT binaries, this warning is not usable for systems that support more than just FLAT.

2008-02-13NFS: Allow text-based mounts via compat_sys_mountChuck Lever
The compat_sys_mount() system call throws EINVAL for text-based NFSv4 mounts. The text-based mount interface assumes that any mount option blob that doesn't set the version field to "1" is a C string (ie not a legacy mount request). The compat_sys_mount() call treats blobs that don't set the version field to "1" as an error. We just relax the check in compat_sys_mount() a bit to allow C strings to be passed down to the NFSv4 client.

2008-02-13NFS: fix reference counting for NFSv4 callback threadJeff Layton
The reference counting for the NFSv4 callback thread stays artificially high. When this thread comes down, it doesn't properly tear down the svc_serv, causing a memory leak. In my testing on an older kernel on x86_64, memory would leak out of the 8k kmalloc slab. So, we're leaking at least a page of memory every time the thread comes down. svc_create() creates the svc_serv with a sv_nrthreads count of 1, and then svc_create_thread() increments that count. Whenever the callback thread is started it has a sv_nrthreads count of 2. When coming down, it calls svc_exit_thread() which decrements that count and if it hits 0, it tears everything down. That never happens here since the count is always at 2 when the thread exits. The problem is that nfs_callback_up() should be calling svc_destroy() on the svc_serv on both success and failure. This is how lockd_up_proto() handles the reference counting, and doing that here fixes the leak.

2008-02-10NLM: don't requeue block if it was invalidated while GRANT_MSG was in flightJeff Layton
It's possible for lockd to catch a SIGKILL while a GRANT_MSG callback is in flight. If this happens we don't want lockd to insert the block back into the nlm_blocked list. This helps that situation, but there's still a possible race. Fixing that will mean adding real locking for nlm_blocked. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J.

2008-02-10NLM: don't reattempt GRANT_MSG when there is already an RPC in flightJeff Layton
With the current scheme in nlmsvc_grant_blocked, we can end up with more than one GRANT_MSG callback for a block in flight. Right now, we requeue the block unconditionally so that a GRANT_MSG callback is done again in 30s. If the client is unresponsive, it can take more than 30s for the call already in flight to time out. There's no benefit to having more than one GRANT_MSG RPC queued up at a time, so put it on the list with a timeout of NLM_NEVER before doing the RPC call. If the RPC call submission fails, we requeue it with a short timeout. If it works, then nlmsvc_grant_callback will end up requeueing it with a shorter timeout after it completes.

2008-02-10NLM: have server-side RPC clients default to soft RPC tasksJeff Layton
Now that it no longer does an RPC ping, lockd always ends up queueing an RPC task for the GRANT_MSG callback. But, it also requeues the block for later attempts. Since these are hard RPC tasks, if the client we're calling back goes unresponsive the GRANT_MSG callbacks can stack up in the RPC queue. Fix this by making server-side RPC clients default to soft RPC tasks. lockd requeues the block anyway, so this should be OK. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2008-02-10NLM: set RPC_CLNT_CREATE_NOPING for NLM RPC clientsJeff Layton
It's currently possible for an unresponsive NLM client to completely lock up a server's lockd. The scenario is something like this: 1) client1 (or a process on the server) takes a lock on a file 2) client2 tries to take a blocking lock on the same file and awaits the callback 3) client2 goes unresponsive (plug pulled, network partition, etc) 4) client1 releases the lock ...at that point the server's lockd will try to queue up a GRANT_MSG callback for client2, but first it requeues the block with a timeout of 30s. nlm_async_call will attempt to bind the RPC client to client2 and will call rpc_ping. rpc_ping entails a sync RPC call and if client2 is unresponsive it will take around 60s for that to time out. Once it times out, it's already time to retry the block and the whole process repeats. Once in this situation, nlmsvc_retry_blocked will never return until the host starts responding again. lockd won't service new calls. Fix this by skipping the RPC ping on NLM RPC clients. This makes nlm_async_call return quickly when called. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

2008-02-10ext4: Add new "development flag" to the ext4 filesystemTheodore Tso
This flag is simply a generic "this is a crash/burn test filesystem" marker. If it is set, then filesystem code which is "in development" will be allowed to mount the filesystem. Filesystem code which is not considered ready for prime-time will check for this flag, and if it is not set, it will refuse to touch the filesystem. As we start rolling ext4 out to distro's like Fedora, et. al, this makes it less likely that a user might accidentally start using ext4 on a production filesystem; a bad thing, since that will essentially make it be unfsckable until e2fsprogs catches up.

For example, with this change (on top of the noinline patch sent earlier): -ext4_mb_new_blocks 200 +ext4_mb_new_blocks 40 -ext4_mb_free_blocks 344 +ext4_mb_free_blocks 168 -ext4_mb_release_inode_pa 216 +ext4_mb_release_inode_pa 40 -ext4_mb_release_group_pa 192 +ext4_mb_release_group_pa 24 Most of these stack-allocated structs are actually used only for mballoc history; and in those cases often a smaller struct would do. So changing that may be another way around it, at least for those functions, if preferred. For now, in those cases where the ac is only for history, an allocation failure simply skips the history recording, and does not cause any other failures.

2008-02-10JBD2: Clear buffer_ordered flag for barried IO request on successDave Kleikamp
In JBD2 jbd2_journal_write_commit_record(), clear the buffer_ordered flag for the bh after barried IO has succeed. This prevents later, if the same buffer head were submitted to the underlying device, which has been reconfigured to not support barrier request, the JBD2 commit code could treat it as a normal IO (without barrier). This is a port from JBD/ext3 fix from Neil Brown. More details from Neil: Some devices - notably dm and md - can change their behaviour in response to BIO_RW_BARRIER requests. They might start out accepting such requests but on reconfiguration, they find out that they cannot any more. JBD2 deal with this by always testing if BIO_RW_BARRIER requests fail with EOPNOTSUPP, and retrying the write requests without the barrier (probably after waiting for any pending writes to complete). However there is a bug in the handling this in JBD2 for ext4 . When ext4/JBD2 to submit a BIO_RW_BARRIER request, it sets the buffer_ordered flag on the buffer head. If the request completes successfully, the flag STAYS SET. Other code might then write the same buffer_head after the device has been reconfigured to not accept barriers. This write will then fail, but the "other code" is not ready to handle EOPNOTSUPP errors and the error will be treated as fatal.

2008-02-10ext4: Fix Direct I/O lockingJan Kara
We cannot start transaction in ext4_direct_IO() and just let it last during the whole write because dio_get_page() acquires mmap_sem which ranks above transaction start (e.g. because we have dependency chain mmap_sem->PageLock->journal_start, or because we update atime while holding mmap_sem) and thus deadlocks could happen. We solve the problem by starting a transaction separately for each ext4_get_block() call. We *could* have a problem that we allocate a block and before its data are written out the machine crashes and thus we expose stale data. But that does not happen because for hole-filling generic code falls back to buffered writes and for file extension, we add inode to orphan list and thus in case of crash, journal replay will truncate inode back to the original size.

2008-02-10ext4: Fix circular locking dependency with migrate and rm.Aneesh Kumar K.V
In order to prevent a circular locking dependency when an unlink operation is racing with an ext4 migration, we delay taking i_data_sem until just before switch the inode format, and use i_mutex to prevent writes and truncates during the first part of the migration operation.

When xfs_file_readdir() exactly fills a buffer, it can move it's index past the end of the buffer and dereference it even though the result of the dereference is never used. On some platforms this causes an oops. SGI-PV: 976923 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:30458a Signed-off-by: David Chinner <dgc@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Lachlan McIlroy <lachlan@sgi.com>
