2007-02-12[PATCH] inotify: read return val fixNick Piggin
Fix for inotify read bug (bugzilla.kernel.org #6999) Problem Description: When reading from an inotify device with an insufficient sized buffer, read(2) will return 0 with no errno set. This is because of an logically incorrect action from the user program thus should return an more logical value. My suggestion is return -EINVAL as for bind(2). This patch is based on the proposal from Ryan <wolf0403@hotmail.com>, and feedback from John McCutchan <john@johnmccutchan.com>. Return -EINVAL if we have not passed in enough buffer space to read a single inotify event, rather than 0 which indicates that there is nothing to read.

2007-02-12[PATCH] remove sb->s_files and file_list_lock usage in dquot.cChristoph Hellwig
Iterate over sb->s_inodes instead of sb->s_files in add_dquot_ref. This reduces list search and lock hold time aswell as getting rid of one of the few uses of file_list_lock which Ingo identified as a scalability problem. Previously we called dq_op->initialize for every inode handing of a writeable file that wasn't initialized before. Now we're calling it for every inode that has a non-zero i_writecount, aka a writeable file descriptor refering to it. Thanks a lot to Jan Kara for running this patch through his quota test harness.

2007-02-12[PATCH] Fix d_path for lazy unmountsAndreas Gruenbacher
Here is a bugfix to d_path. First, when d_path() hits a lazily unmounted mount point, it tries to prepend the name of the lazily unmounted dentry to the path name. It gets this wrong, and also overwrites the slash that separates the name from the following pathname component. This is demonstrated by the attached test case, which prints "getcwd returned d_path-bugsubdir" with the bug. The correct result would be "getcwd returned d_path-bug/subdir". It could be argued that the name of the root dentry should not be part of the result of d_path in the first place. On the other hand, what the unconnected namespace was once reachable as may provide some useful hints to users, and so that seems okay. Second, it isn't always possible to tell from the __d_path result whether the specified root and rootmnt (i.e., the chroot) was reached: lazy unmounts of bind mounts will produce a path that does start with a non-slash so we can tell from that, but other lazy unmounts will produce a path that starts with a slash, just like "ordinary" paths. The attached patch cleans up __d_path() to fix the bug with overlapping pathname components. It also adds a @fail_deleted argument, which allows to get rid of some of the mess in sys_getcwd(). Grabbing the dcache_lock can then also be moved into __d_path(). The patch also makes sure that paths will only start with a slash for paths which are connected to the root and rootmnt. The @fail_deleted argument could be added to d_path() as well: this would allow callers to recognize deleted files, without having to resort to the ambiguous check for the " (deleted)" string at the end of the pathnames. This is not currently done, but it might be worthwhile.

2007-02-12[PATCH] Make BH_Unwritten a first class bufferhead flag V2David Chinner
Currently, XFS uses BH_PrivateStart for flagging unwritten extent state in a bufferhead. Recently, I found the long standing mmap/unwritten extent conversion bug, and it was to do with partial page invalidation not clearing the unwritten flag from bufferheads attached to the page but beyond EOF. See here for a full explaination: http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00196.html The solution I have checked into the XFS dev tree involves duplicating code from block_invalidatepage to clear the unwritten flag from the bufferhead(s), and then calling block_invalidatepage() to do the rest. Christoph suggested that this would be better solved by pushing the unwritten flag into the common buffer head flags and just adding the call to discard_buffer(): http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00239.html The following patch makes BH_Unwritten a first class citizen.

2007-02-11[PATCH] buffer: memorder fixNick Piggin
unlock_buffer(), like unlock_page(), must not clear the lock without ensuring that the critical section is closed. Mingming later sent the same patch, saying: We are running SDET benchmark and saw double free issue for ext3 extended attributes block, which complains the same xattr block already being freed (in ext3_xattr_release_block()). The problem could also been triggered by multiple threads loop untar/rm a kernel tree. The race is caused by missing a memory barrier at unlock_buffer() before the lock bit being cleared, resulting in possible concurrent h_refcounter update. That causes a reference counter leak, then later leads to the double free that we have seen. Inside unlock_buffer(), there is a memory barrier is placed *after* the lock bit is being cleared, however, there is no memory barrier *before* the bit is cleared. On some arch the h_refcount update instruction and the clear bit instruction could be reordered, thus leave the critical section re-entered. The race is like this: For example, if the h_refcount is initialized as 1, cpu 0: cpu1 -------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- lock_buffer() /* test_and_set_bit */ clear_buffer_locked(bh); lock_buffer() /* test_and_set_bit */ h_refcount = h_refcount+1; /* = 2*/ h_refcount = h_refcount + 1; /*= 2 */ clear_buffer_locked(bh); .... ...... We lost a h_refcount here. We need a memory barrier before the buffer head lock bit being cleared to force the order of the two writes. Please apply.

2007-02-11[PATCH] extend the set of "__attribute__" shortcut macrosRobert P. J. Day
Extend the set of "__attribute__" shortcut macros, and remove identical (and now superfluous) definitions from a couple of source files. based on a page at robert love's blog: http://rlove.org/log/2005102601 extend the set of shortcut macros defined in compiler-gcc.h with the following: #define __packed __attribute__((packed)) #define __weak __attribute__((weak)) #define __naked __attribute__((naked)) #define __noreturn __attribute__((noreturn)) #define __pure __attribute__((pure)) #define __aligned(x) __attribute__((aligned(x))) #define __printf(a,b) __attribute__((format(printf,a,b))) Once these are in place, it's up to subsystem maintainers to decide if they want to take advantage of them. there is already a strong precedent for using shortcuts like this in the source tree. The ones that might give people pause are "__aligned" and "__printf", but shortcuts for both of those are already in use, and in some ways very confusingly. note the two very different definitions for a macro named "ALIGNED": drivers/net/sgiseeq.c:#define ALIGNED(x) ((((unsigned long)(x)) + 0xf) & ~(0xf)) drivers/scsi/ultrastor.c:#define ALIGNED(x) __attribute__((aligned(x))) also: include/acpi/platform/acgcc.h: #define ACPI_PRINTF_LIKE(c) __attribute__ ((__format__ (__printf__, c, c+1))) Given the precedent, then, it seems logical to at least standardize on a consistent set of these macros.

2007-02-11[PATCH] fix umask when noACL kernel meets extN tuned for ACLsHugh Dickins
Fix insecure default behaviour reported by Tigran Aivazian: if an ext2 or ext3 or ext4 filesystem is tuned to mount with "acl", but mounted by a kernel built without ACL support, then umask was ignored when creating inodes - though root or user has umask 022, touch creates files as 0666, and mkdir creates directories as 0777. This appears to have worked right until 2.6.11, when a fix to the default mode on symlinks (always 0777) assumed VFS applies umask: which it does, unless the mount is marked for ACLs; but ext[234] set MS_POSIXACL in s_flags according to s_mount_opt set according to def_mount_opts. We could revert to the 2.6.10 ext[234]_init_acl (adding an S_ISLNK test); but other filesystems only set MS_POSIXACL when ACLs are configured. We could fix this at another level; but it seems most robust to avoid setting the s_mount_opt flag in the first place (at the expense of more ifdefs). Likewise don't set the XATTR_USER flag when built without XATTR support.

2007-02-11[PATCH] relax check for AIX in msdos partition tableOlaf Hering
The patch to identify AIX disks and ignore them has caused at least one machine to fail to find the root partition on 2.6.19. The patch is: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/31/117 The problem is some disk formatters do not blow away the first 4 bytes of the disk. If the disk we are installing to used to have AIX on it, then the first 4 bytes will still have IBMA in EBCDIC. The install in question was debian etch. Im not sure what the best fix is, perhaps the AIX detection code could check more than the first 4 bytes. The whole partition info for primary partitions is in this block: dd if=/dev/sdb count=$(( 4 * 16 )) bs=1 skip=$(( 0x1be )) All other data do not matter, beside the 0x55aa marker at the end of the first block.

2007-02-10[PARTITION]: Add whole_disk attribute.Fabio Massimo Di Nitto
Some partitioning systems create special partitions that span the entire disk. One example are Sun partitions, and this whole-disk partition exists to tell the firmware the extent of the entire device so it can load the boot block and do other things. Such partitions should not be treated as normal partitions, because all the other partitions overlap this whole-disk one. So we'd see multiple instances of the same UUID etc. which we do not want. udev and friends can thus search for this 'whole_disk' attribute and use it to decide to ignore the partition.

2007-02-10[XFS] Fix callers of xfs_iozero() to zero the correct range.Lachlan McIlroy
The problem is the two callers of xfs_iozero() are rounding out the range to be zeroed to the end of a fsb and in some cases this extends past the new eof. The call to commit_write() in xfs_iozero() will cause the Linux inode's file size to be set too high.

2007-02-10[XFS] Ensure a frozen filesystem has a clean log before writing the dummyDavid Chinner
record. The current Linux XFS freeze code is a mess. We flush the metadata buffers out while we are still allowing new transactions to start and then fail to flush the dirty buffers back out before writing the unmount and dummy records to the log. This leads to problems when the frozen filesystem is used for snapshots - we do log recovery on a readonly image and often it appears that the log image in the snapshot is not correct. Hence we end up with hangs, oops and mount failures when trying to mount a snapshot image that has been created when the filesystem has not been correctly frozen. To fix this, we need to move th metadata flush to after we wait for all current transactions to complete in teh second stage of the freeze. This means that when we write the final log records, the log should be clean and recovery should never occur on a snapshot image created from a frozen filesystem.

2007-02-10[XFS] Fix sub-block zeroing for buffered writes into unwritten extents.David Chinner
When writing less than a filesystem block of data into an unwritten extent via buffered I/O, __xfs_get_blocks fails to set the buffer new flag. As a result, the generic code will not zero either edge of the block resulting in garbage being written to disk either side of the real data. Set the buffer new state on bufferd writes to unwritten extents to ensure that zeroing occurs.

2007-02-10[XFS] Re-initialize the per-cpu superblock counters after recovery.Lachlan McIlroy
After filesystem recovery the superblock is re-read to bring in any changes. If the per-cpu superblock counters are not re-initialized from the superblock then the next time the per-cpu counters are disabled they might overwrite the global counter with a bogus value.

2007-02-10[XFS] Fix block reservation mechanism.David Chinner
The block reservation mechanism has been broken since the per-cpu superblock counters were introduced. Make the block reservation code work with the per-cpu counters by syncing the counters, snapshotting the amount of available space and then doing a modifcation of the counter state according to the result. Continue in a loop until we either have no space available or we reserve some space.

The free block modification code has a 32bit interface, limiting the size the filesystem can be grown even on 64 bit machines. On 32 bit machines, there are other 32bit variables in transaction structures and interfaces that need to be expanded to allow this to work.
