2005-08-15[PATCH] inotify: add MOVE_SELF eventJohn McCutchan
This adds a MOVE_SELF event to inotify. It is sent whenever the inode you are watching is moved. We need this event so that we can catch something like this: - app1: watch /etc/mtab - app2: cp /etc/mtab /tmp/mtab-work mv /etc/mtab /etc/mtab~ mv /tmp/mtab-work /etc/mtab app1 still thinks it's watching /etc/mtab but it's actually watching /etc/mtab~.

2005-08-08[PATCH] fsnotify_name/inoderemoveJohn McCutchan
The patch below unhooks fsnotify from vfs_unlink & vfs_rmdir. It introduces two new fsnotify calls, that are hooked in at the dcache level. This not only more closely matches how the VFS layer works, it also avoids the problem with locking and inode lifetimes. The two functions are - fsnotify_nameremove -- called when a directory entry is going away. It notifies the PARENT of the deletion. This is called from d_delete(). - inoderemove -- called when the files inode itself is going away. It notifies the inode that is being deleted. This is called from dentry_iput().

2005-08-05[PATCH] blk: fix tag shrinking (revive real_max_size)Tejun Heo
My patch in commit fa72b903f75e4f0f0b2c2feed093005167da4023 incorrectly removed blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth. The original resize implementation was incorrect in the following points. * actual allocation size of tag_index was shorter than real_max_size, but assumed to be of the same size, possibly causing memory access beyond the allocated area. * bits in tag_map between max_deptn and real_max_depth were initialized to 1's, making the tags permanently reserved. In an attempt to fix above two bugs, I had removed allocation optimization in init_tag_map and real_max_size. Tag map/index were allocated and freed immediately during resize. Unfortunately, I wasn't considering that tag map/index can be resized dynamically with tags beyond new_depth active. This led to accessing freed area after shrinking tags and led to the following bug reporting thread on linux-scsi. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112319898111885&w=2 To fix the problem, I've revived real_max_depth without allocation optimization in init_tag_map, and Andrew Vasquez confirmed that the problem was fixed. As Jens is not going to be available for a week, he asked me to make sure that this patch reaches you. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112325778530886&w=2 Also, a comment was added to make sure that real_max_size is needed for dynamic shrinking.

2005-08-04[PATCH] PCI: restore BAR values after D3hot->D0 for devices that need itJohn W. Linville
Some PCI devices (e.g. 3c905B, 3c556B) lose all configuration (including BARs) when transitioning from D3hot->D0. This leaves such a device in an inaccessible state. The patch below causes the BARs to be restored when enabling such a device, so that its driver will be able to access it. The patch also adds pci_restore_bars as a new global symbol, and adds a correpsonding EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for that. Some firmware (e.g. Thinkpad T21) leaves devices in D3hot after a (re)boot. Most drivers call pci_enable_device very early, so devices left in D3hot that lose configuration during the D3hot->D0 transition will be inaccessible to their drivers. Drivers could be modified to account for this, but it would be difficult to know which drivers need modification. This is especially true since often many devices are covered by the same driver. It likely would be necessary to replicate code across dozens of drivers. The patch below should trigger only when transitioning from D3hot->D0 (or at boot), and only for devices that have the "no soft reset" bit cleared in the PM control register. I believe it is safe to include this patch as part of the PCI infrastructure. The cleanest implementation of pci_restore_bars was to call pci_update_resource. Unfortunately, that does not currently exist for the sparc64 architecture. The patch below includes a null implemenation of pci_update_resource for sparc64. Some have expressed interest in making general use of the the pci_restore_bars function, so that has been exported to GPL licensed modules. Signed-off-by: John W.

2005-08-03[PATCH] fix get_user_pages bugNick Piggin
Checking pte_dirty instead of pte_write in __follow_page is problematic for s390, and for copy_one_pte which leaves dirty when clearing write. So revert __follow_page to check pte_write as before, and make do_wp_page pass back a special extra VM_FAULT_WRITE bit to say it has done its full job: once get_user_pages receives this value, it no longer requires pte_write in __follow_page. But most callers of handle_mm_fault, in the various architectures, have switch statements which do not expect this new case. To avoid changing them all in a hurry, make an inline wrapper function (using the old name) that masks off the new bit, and use the extended interface with double underscores. Yes, we do have a call to do_wp_page from do_swap_page, but no need to change that: in rare case it's needed, another do_wp_page will follow.

It may shut up gcc, but it also incorrectly changes the semantics of the smp_call_function() helpers. You can fix the warning other ways if you are interested (create another inline function that takes no arguments and returns zero), but preferably gcc just shouldn't complain about unused return values from statement expressions in the first place.

Apparently gcc 4.0 complains about "({ 0; });", which leads to -Werror breakage in one of the alpha oprofile modules. One might could argue that this is a gcc bug, in that statement-expressions should be considered to be function-like rather than statement-like for the purposes of this warning.

2005-07-27[PATCH] stale POSIX lock handlingPeter Staubach
I believe that there is a problem with the handling of POSIX locks, which the attached patch should address. The problem appears to be a race between fcntl(2) and close(2). A multithreaded application could close a file descriptor at the same time as it is trying to acquire a lock using the same file descriptor. I would suggest that that multithreaded application is not providing the proper synchronization for itself, but the OS should still behave correctly. SUS3 (Single UNIX Specification Version 3, read: POSIX) indicates that when a file descriptor is closed, that all POSIX locks on the file, owned by the process which closed the file descriptor, should be released. The trick here is when those locks are released. The current code releases all locks which exist when close is processing, but any locks in progress are handled when the last reference to the open file is released. There are three cases to consider. One is the simple case, a multithreaded (mt) process has a file open and races to close it and acquire a lock on it. In this case, the close will release one reference to the open file and when the fcntl is done, it will release the other reference. For this situation, no locks should exist on the file when both the close and fcntl operations are done. The current system will handle this case because the last reference to the open file is being released. The second case is when the mt process has dup(2)'d the file descriptor. The close will release one reference to the file and the fcntl, when done, will release another, but there will still be at least one more reference to the open file. One could argue that the existence of a lock on the file after the close has completed is okay, because it was acquired after the close operation and there is still a way for the application to release the lock on the file, using an existing file descriptor. The third case is when the mt process has forked, after opening the file and either before or after becoming an mt process. In this case, each process would hold a reference to the open file. For each process, this degenerates to first case above. However, the lock continues to exist until both processes have released their references to the open file. This lock could block other lock requests. The changes to release the lock when the last reference to the open file aren't quite right because they would allow the lock to exist as long as there was a reference to the open file. This is too long. The new proposed solution is to add support in the fcntl code path to detect a race with close and then to release the lock which was just acquired when such as race is detected. This causes locks to be released in a timely fashion and for the system to conform to the POSIX semantic specification. This was tested by instrumenting a kernel to detect the handling locks and then running a program which generates case #3 above. A dangling lock could be reliably generated. When the changes to detect the close/fcntl race were added, a dangling lock could no longer be generated.

2005-07-27[PATCH] s390: spin lock retryMartin Schwidefsky
Split spin lock and r/w lock implementation into a single try which is done inline and an out of line function that repeatedly tries to get the lock before doing the cpu_relax(). Add a system control to set the number of retries before a cpu is yielded. The reason for the spin lock retry is that the diagnose 0x44 that is used to give up the virtual cpu is quite expensive. For spin locks that are held only for a short period of time the costs of the diagnoses outweights the savings for spin locks that are held for a longer timer. The default retry count is 1000.

2005-07-21[NETFILTER]: ip_conntrack_expect_related must not free expectationRusty Russell
If a connection tracking helper tells us to expect a connection, and we're already expecting that connection, we simply free the one they gave us and return success. The problem is that NAT helpers (eg. FTP) have to allocate the expectation first (to see what port is available) then rewrite the packet. If that rewrite fails, they try to remove the expectation, but it was freed in ip_conntrack_expect_related. This is one example of a larger problem: having registered the expectation, the pointer is no longer ours to use. Reference counting is needed for ctnetlink anyway, so introduce it now. To have a single "put" path, we need to grab the reference to the connection on creation, rather than open-coding it in the caller.
