2006-03-26[PATCH] mempool: use mempool_create_slab_pool()Matthew Dobson
Modify well over a dozen mempool users to call mempool_create_slab_pool() rather than calling mempool_create() with extra arguments, saving about 30 lines of code and increasing readability.

2006-03-26[PATCH] mempool: use common mempool kmalloc allocatorMatthew Dobson
This patch changes several mempool users, all of which are basically just wrappers around kmalloc(), to use the common mempool_kmalloc/kfree, rather than their own wrapper function, removing a bunch of duplicated code.

2006-03-26[PATCH] VFS,fs/locks.c,NFSD4: add race_free posix_lock_file_conf() interfaceAndy Adamson
Lockd and the NFSv4 server both exercise a race condition where posix_test_lock() is called either before or after posix_lock_file() to deal with a denied lock request due to a conflicting lock. Remove the race condition for the NFSv4 server by adding a new conflicting lock parameter to __posix_lock_file() , changing the name to __posix_lock_file_conf(). Keep posix_lock_file() interface, add posix_lock_conf() interface, both call __posix_lock_file_conf().

2006-03-26[PATCH] Use __read_mostly on some hot fs variablesEric Dumazet
I discovered on oprofile hunting on a SMP platform that dentry lookups were slowed down because d_hash_mask, d_hash_shift and dentry_hashtable were in a cache line that contained inodes_stat. So each time inodes_stats is changed by a cpu, other cpus have to refill their cache line. This patch moves some variables to the __read_mostly section, in order to avoid false sharing. RCU dentry lookups can go full speed. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-03-26[PATCH] protect remove_proc_entrySteven Rostedt
It has been discovered that the remove_proc_entry has a race in the removing of entries in the proc file system that are siblings. There's no protection around the traversing and removing of elements that belong in the same subdirectory. This subdirectory list is protected in other areas by the BKL. So the BKL was at first used to protect this area too, but unfortunately, remove_proc_entry may be called with spinlocks held. The BKL may schedule, so this was not a solution. The final solution was to add a new global spin lock to protect this list, called proc_subdir_lock. This lock now protects the list in remove_proc_entry, and I also went around looking for other areas that this list is modified and added this protection there too. Care must be taken since these locations call several functions that may also schedule. Since I don't see any location that these functions that modify the subdirectory list are called by interrupts, the irqsave/restore versions of the spin lock was _not_ used.

2006-03-25[PATCH] direct-io: bug fix in dio handling write errorChen, Kenneth W
There is a bug in direct-io on propagating write error up to the higher I/O layer. When performing an async ODIRECT write to a block device, if a device error occurred (like media error or disk is pulled), the error code is only propagated from device driver to the DIO layer. The error code stops at finished_one_bio(). The aysnc write, however, is supposedly have a corresponding AIO event with appropriate return code (in this case -EIO). Application which waits on the async write event, will hang forever since such AIO event is lost forever (if such app did not use the timeout option in io_getevents call. Regardless, an AIO event is lost). The discovery of above bug leads to another discovery of potential race window with dio->result. The fundamental problem is that dio->result is overloaded with dual use: an indicator of fall back path for partial dio write, and an error indicator used in the I/O completion path. In the event of device error, the setting of -EIO to dio->result clashes with value used to track partial write that activates the fall back path. It was also pointed out that it is impossible to use dio->result to track partial write and at the same time to track error returned from device driver. Because direct_io_work can only determines whether it is a partial write at the end of io submission and in mid stream of those io submission, a return code could be coming back from the driver. Thus messing up all the subsequent logic. Proposed fix is to separating out error code returned by the IO completion path from partial IO submit tracking. A new variable is added to dio structure specifically to track io error returned in the completion path.

2006-03-25[PATCH] udf: fix uid/gid options and add uid/gid=ignore and forget optionsPhillip Susi
As Pekka Enberg pointed out, with the if still following the else, you can still get a null uid written to the disk if you specify a default uid= without uid=forget. In other words, if the desktop user is uid=1000 and the mount option uid=1000 is given ( which is done on ubuntu automatically and probably other distributions that use hal ), then if any other user besides uid 1000 owns a file then a 0 will be written to the media as the owning uid instead.

2006-03-25[PATCH] POLLRDHUP/EPOLLRDHUP handling for half-closed devices notificationsDavide Libenzi
Implement the half-closed devices notifiation, by adding a new POLLRDHUP (and its alias EPOLLRDHUP) bit to the existing poll/select sets. Since the existing POLLHUP handling, that does not report correctly half-closed devices, was feared to be changed, this implementation leaves the current POLLHUP reporting unchanged and simply add a new bit that is set in the few places where it makes sense. The same thing was discussed and conceptually agreed quite some time ago: http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/12/116 Since this new event bit is added to the existing Linux poll infrastruture, even the existing poll/select system calls will be able to use it. As far as the existing POLLHUP handling, the patch leaves it as is. The pollrdhup-2.6.16.rc5-0.10.diff defines the POLLRDHUP for all the existing archs and sets the bit in the six relevant files. The other attached diff is the simple change required to sys/epoll.h to add the EPOLLRDHUP definition. There is "a stupid program" to test POLLRDHUP delivery here: http://www.xmailserver.org/pollrdhup-test.c It tests poll(2), but since the delivery is same epoll(2) will work equally.

2006-03-25[PATCH] inotify: lock avoidance with parent watch status in dentryNick Piggin
Previous inotify work avoidance is good when inotify is completely unused, but it breaks down if even a single watch is in place anywhere in the system. Robin Holt notices that udev is one such culprit - it slows down a 512-thread application on a 512 CPU system from 6 seconds to 22 minutes. Solve this by adding a flag in the dentry that tells inotify whether or not its parent inode has a watch on it. Event queueing to parent will skip taking locks if this flag is cleared. Setting and clearing of this flag on all child dentries versus event delivery: this is no in terms of race cases, and that was shown to be equivalent to always performing the check. The essential behaviour is that activity occuring _after_ a watch has been added and _before_ it has been removed, will generate events.

I think it would be nice to put an usage warning in header of lookup_instantiate_filp() to indicate it is unsafe to use it on anything but regular files (even that is potentially unsafe, but there your ->open() is usually in your hands anyway), so that others won't fall into the same trap I did.

2006-03-25[PATCH] Introduce FMODE_EXEC file flagOleg Drokin
Introduce FMODE_EXEC file flag, to indicate that file is being opened for execution. This is useful for distributed filesystems to maintain consistent behavior for returning ETXTBUSY when opening for write and execution happens on different nodes. akpm: Needed by Lustre at present. I assume their objective to to work towards being able to install Lustre on an unmodified distro kernel, which seems sane. It should have zero runtime cost. Trond and Chuck indicate that NFS4 can probably use this too, for the same thing. Steven says it's also on the GFS todo list.

2006-03-25[PATCH] reiserfs: reiserfs_file_write() will lose error code when a 0-length ↵Jeff Mahoney
write occurs w/ O_SYNC When an error occurs in reiserfs_file_write before any data is written, and O_SYNC is set, the return code of generic_osync_write will overwrite the error code, losing it. This patch ensures that generic_osync_inode() doesn't run under an error condition, losing the error. This duplicates the logic from generic_file_buffered_write().

2006-03-25[PATCH] reiserfs: handle trans_id overflowAlexander Zarochentsev
Reiserfs does not handle transaction ID overflow correctly. Transaction ID == 0 causes reiserfs to crash. The patch fixes all places where the transaction ID is incremented.

2006-03-25[PATCH] reiserfs: fix transaction overflowingAlexander Zarochentzev
This patch fixes a bug in reiserfs truncate. A transaction might overflow when truncating long highly fragmented file. The fix is to split truncation into several transactions to avoid overflowing.

2006-03-25[PATCH] Missed error checking for intent's filp in open_namei().Oleg Drokin
It seems there is error check missing in open_namei for errors returned through intent.open.file (from lookup_instantiate_filp). If there is plain open performed, then such a check done inside __path_lookup_intent_open called from path_lookup_open(), but when the open is performed with O_CREAT flag set, then __path_lookup_intent_open is only called with LOOKUP_PARENT set where no file opening can occur yet. Later on lookup_hash is called where exact opening might take place and intent.open.file may be filled. If it is filled with error value of some sort, then we get kernel attempting to dereference this error value as address (and corresponding oops) in nameidata_to_filp() called from filp_open(). While this is relatively simple to workaround in ->lookup() method by just checking lookup_instantiate_filp() return value and returning error as needed, this is not so easy in ->d_revalidate(), where we can only return "yes, dentry is valid" or "no, dentry is invalid, perform full lookup again", and just returning 0 on error would cause extra lookup (with potential extra costly RPCs). So in short, I believe that there should be no difference in error handling for opening a file and creating a file in open_namei() and propose this simple patch as a solution.
