2006-04-11[PATCH] fuse: use a per-mount spinlockMiklos Szeredi
Remove the global spinlock in favor of a per-mount one. This patch is basically find & replace. The difficult part has already been done by the previous patch.

2006-04-11[PATCH] fuse: simplify lockingMiklos Szeredi
This is in preparation for removing the global spinlock in favor of a per-mount one. The only critical part is the interaction between fuse_dev_release() and fuse_fill_super(): fuse_dev_release() must see the assignment to file->private_data, otherwise it will leak the reference to fuse_conn. This is ensured by the fput() operation, which will synchronize the assignment with other CPU's that may do a final fput() soon after this. Also redundant locking is removed from fuse_fill_super(), where exclusion is already ensured by the BKL held for this function by the VFS.

2006-04-11[PATCH] fuse: add O_NONBLOCK support to FUSE deviceJeff Dike
I don't like duplicating the connected and list_empty tests in fuse_dev_readv, but this seemed cleaner than adding the f_flags test to request_wait.

2006-04-11[PATCH] fuse: add O_ASYNC support to FUSE deviceJeff Dike
This adds asynchronous notification to FUSE - a FUSE server can request O_ASYNC on a /dev/fuse file descriptor and receive SIGIO when there is input available. One subtlety - fuse_dev_fasync, which is called when O_ASYNC is requested, does no locking, unlink the other methods. I think it's unnecessary, as the fuse_conn.fasync list is manipulated only by fasync_helper and kill_fasync, which provide their own locking. It would also be wrong to use the fuse_lock, as it's a spin lock and fasync_helper can sleep. My one concern with this is the fuse_conn going away underneath fuse_dev_fasync - sys_fcntl takes a reference on the file struct, so this seems not to be a problem.

2006-04-11[PATCH] fuse: fix fuse_dev_poll() return valueMiklos Szeredi
fuse_dev_poll() returned an error value instead of a poll mask. Luckily (or unluckily) -ENODEV does contain the POLLERR bit. There's also a race if filesystem is unmounted between fuse_get_conn() and spin_lock(), in which case this event will be missed by poll().

2006-04-11[PATCH] fuse: fix oops in fuse_send_readpages()Miklos Szeredi
During heavy parallel filesystem activity it was possible to Oops the kernel. The reason is that read_cache_pages() could skip pages which have already been inserted into the cache by another task. Occasionally this may result in zero pages actually being sent, while fuse_send_readpages() relies on at least one page being in the request. So check this corner case and just free the request instead of trying to send it. Reported and tested by Konstantin Isakov.

2006-04-11[PATCH] inotify: check for NULL inode in inotify_d_instantiateArnd Bergmann
The spufs file system creates files in a directory before instantiating the directory itself, which causes a NULL pointer access in inotify_d_instantiate since c32ccd87bfd1414b0aabfcd8dbc7539ad23bcbaa. I'd like to keep this behavior since it means that the user will not have access to files in the directory before I know that I succeed in creating everything in it. This patch adds a simple check for the inode to keep that working.

2006-04-11[PATCH] kdump: enable CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE by defaultVivek Goyal

2006-04-11[PATCH] process accounting: take original leader's start_time in non-leader execRoland McGrath
The only record we have of the real-time age of a process, regardless of execs it's done, is start_time. When a non-leader thread exec, the original start_time of the process is lost. Things looking at the real-time age of the process are fooled, for example the process accounting record when the process finally dies. This change makes the oldest start_time stick around with the process after a non-leader exec. This way the association between PID and start_time is kept constant, which seems correct to me.

2006-04-11[PATCH] select: don't overflow if (SELECT_STACK_ALLOC % sizeof(long) != 0)Mitchell Blank Jr
If SELECT_STACK_ALLOC is not a multiple of sizeof(long) then stack_fds[] would be shorter than SELECT_STACK_ALLOC bytes and could overflow later in the function. Fixed by simply rearranging the test later to work on sizeof(stack_fds) Currently SELECT_STACK_ALLOC is 256 so this doesn't happen, but it's nasty to have things like this hidden in the code. What if later someone decides to change SELECT_STACK_ALLOC to 300?

2006-04-10[PATCH] de_thread: Don't confuse users do_each_thread.Eric W. Biederman
Oleg Nesterov spotted two interesting bugs with the current de_thread code. The simplest is a long standing double decrement of __get_cpu_var(process_counts) in __unhash_process. Caused by two processes exiting when only one was created. The other is that since we no longer detach from the thread_group list it is possible for do_each_thread when run under the tasklist_lock to see the same task_struct twice. Once on the task list as a thread_group_leader, and once on the thread list of another thread. The double appearance in do_each_thread can cause a double increment of mm_core_waiters in zap_threads resulting in problems later on in coredump_wait. To remedy those two problems this patch takes the simple approach of changing the old thread group leader into a child thread. The only routine in release_task that cares is __unhash_process, and it can be trivially seen that we handle cleaning up a thread group leader properly. Since de_thread doesn't change the pid of the exiting leader process and instead shares it with the new leader process. I change thread_group_leader to recognize group leadership based on the group_leader field and not based on pids. This should also be slightly cheaper then the existing thread_group_leader macro. I performed a quick audit and I couldn't see any user of thread_group_leader that cared about the difference. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-04-10[PATCH] splice: add optional input and output offsetsIngo Molnar
add optional input and output offsets to sys_splice(), for seekable file descriptors: asmlinkage long sys_splice(int fd_in, loff_t __user *off_in, int fd_out, loff_t __user *off_out, size_t len, unsigned int flags); semantics are straightforward: f_pos will be updated with the offset provided by user-space, before the splice transfer is about to begin. Providing a NULL offset pointer means the existing f_pos will be used (and updated in situ). Providing an offset for a pipe results in -ESPIPE. Providing an invalid offset pointer results in -EFAULT.
