2005-06-06[PATCH] namei fixes (8/19)Al Viro
In open_namei() we never use path.mnt or path.dentry after exit: or ok:. Assignment of path.dentry in case of LAST_BIND is dead code and only obfuscates already convoluted function; assignment of path.mnt after __do_follow_link() can be moved down to the place where we set path.dentry. Obviously equivalent transformations, just to clean the air a bit in that region.

2005-06-06[PATCH] namei fixes (7/19)Al Viro
The first argument of __do_follow_link() switched to struct path * (__do_follow_link(path->dentry, ...) -> __do_follow_link(path, ...)). All callers have the same calls of mntget() right before and dput()/mntput() right after __do_follow_link(); these calls have been moved inside. Obviously equivalent transformations.

2005-06-06[PATCH] namei fixes (6/19)Al Viro
mntget(path->mnt) in do_follow_link() moved down to right before the __do_follow_link() call and rigth after loop: resp. dput()+mntput() on non-ELOOP branch moved up to right after __do_follow_link() call. resulting loop: mntget(path->mnt); path_release(nd); dput(path->mnt); mntput(path->mnt); replaced with equivalent dput(path->mnt); path_release(nd); Equivalent transformations - the reason why we have that mntget() is that __do_follow_link() can drop a reference to nd->mnt and that's what holds path->mnt. So that call can happen at any point prior to __do_follow_link() touching nd->mnt. The rest is obvious. NOTE: current tree relies on symlinks *never* being mounted on anything. It's not hard to get rid of that assumption (actually, that will come for free later in the series). For now we are just not making the situation worse than it is.

2005-06-06[PATCH] namei fixes (5/19)Al Viro
fix for too early mntput() in open_namei() - we pin path.mnt down for the duration of __do_follow_link(). Otherwise we could get the fs where our symlink lived unmounted while we were in __do_follow_link(). That would end up with dentry of symlink staying pinned down through the fs shutdown.

2005-06-06[PATCH] namei fixes (4/19)Al Viro
path.mnt in open_namei() set to mirror nd->mnt. nd->mnt is set in 3 places in that function - path_lookup() in the beginning, __follow_down() loop after do_last: and __do_follow_link() call after do_link:. We set path.mnt to nd->mnt after path_lookup() and __do_follow_link(). In __follow_down() loop we use &path.mnt instead of &nd->mnt and set nd->mnt to path.mnt immediately after that loop.

2005-06-06[PATCH] namei fixesAl Viro
OK, here comes a patch series that hopefully should close all too-early-mntput() races in fs/namei.c. Entire area is convoluted as hell, so I'm splitting that series into _very_ small chunks. Patches alread in the tree close only (very wide) races in following symlinks (see "busy inodes after umount" thread some time ago). Unfortunately, quite a few narrower races of the same nature were not closed. Hopefully this should take care of all of them.

2005-06-06[PATCH] ppc32: Fix incorrect CPU_FTR fixup usage for unified cachesKumar Gala
Runtime feature support for unified caches was testing a userland feature flag (PPC_FEATURE_UNIFIED_CACHE) instead of a cpu feature flag (CPU_FTR_SPLIT_ID_CACHE). Luckily the current defined bit mask for cpu features and userland features do not overlap so this only causes an issue on machines with a unified cache, which is extremely rare on PPC today.

The system might hang when using appldata_mem with high I/O traffic and a large number of devices. The spinlocks bdev_lock and swaplock are acquired via calls to si_meminfo() and si_swapinfo() from a tasklet, i.e. interrupt context, which can lead to a deadlock. Replace tasklet with work queue.

2005-06-04[PATCH] s390: uml ptrace fixesBodo Stroesser
To make UML build and run on s390, I needed to do these two little changes: 1) UML includes some of the subarch's (s390) headers. I had to change one of them with the following one-liner, to make this compile. AFAICS, this change doesn't break compilation of s390 itself. 2) UML needs to intercept syscalls via ptrace to invalidate the syscall, read syscall's parameters and write the result with the result of UML's syscall processing. Also, UML needs to make sure, that the host does no syscall restart processing. On i386 for example, this can be done by writing -1 to orig_eax on the 2nd syscall interception (orig_eax is the syscall number, which after the interception is used as a "interrupt was a syscall" flag only. Unfortunately, s390 holds syscall number and syscall result in gpr2 and its "interrupt was a syscall" flag (trap) is unreachable via ptrace. So I changed the host to set trap to -1, if the syscall number is changed to an invalid value on the first syscall interception.

2005-06-04[PATCH] s390: ptrace peek and pokeMartin Schwidefsky
The special cases of peek and poke on acrs[15] and the fpc register are not handled correctly. A poke on acrs[15] will clobber the 4 bytes after the access registers in the thread_info structure. That happens to be the kernel stack pointer. A poke on the fpc with an invalid value is not caught by the validity check. On the next context switch the broken fpc value will cause a program check in the kernel. Improving the checks in peek and poke fixes this.

When fsync() runs wait_on_page_writeback_range() it only inspects pages which are actually under I/O (PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK). If a page completed I/O prior to wait_on_page_writeback_range() looking at it, it is supposed to have recorded its I/O error state in the address_space. But mpage_mpage_end_io_write() forgot to set the address_space error flag in this case.

Re-work the m68knommu specific idle code according to suggestions from Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au>. A couple of rules that we need to follow: 1. Preempt should now disabled over idle routines. Should only be enabled to call schedule() then disabled again. 3. When cpu_idle finds (need_resched() == 'true'), it should call schedule(). It should not call schedule() otherwise. Also fix interrupt locking around the need_resched() and cpu stop state so that there is no race condition.

2005-06-02[PATCH] ppc64: cleanup iseries runlight supportAnton Blanchard
The iseries has a bar graph on the front panel that shows how busy it is. The operating system sets and clears a bit in the CTRL register to control it. Instead of going to the complexity of using a thread info bit, just set and clear it in the idle loop. Also create two helper functions, ppc64_runlatch_on and ppc64_runlatch_off. Finally don't use the short form of the SPR defines.

2005-06-02[PATCH] ppc64: cleanup SPR definitionsAnton Blanchard
There are a bunch of irrelevant SPR definitions in asm/processer.h. Cut them down a bit, also add a DABR_TRANSLATION define which will be used shortly. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-06-02[PATCH] ext3: fix list scanning in __cleanup_transactionJan Kara
Fix a bug in list scanning that can cause us to skip the last buffer on the checkpoint list (and hence fail to do any progress under some rather unfavorable conditions). The problem is we first do jh=next_jh and then test } while (jh!=last_jh); Hence we skip the last buffer on the list (if it was not the only buffer on the list). As we already do jh=next_jh; in the beginning of the loop we are safe to just remove the assignment in the end. It can happen that 'jh' will be freed at the point we test jh != last_jh but that does not matter as we never *dereference* the pointer.

2005-06-02[PATCH] ext3: fix log_do_checkpoint() assertion failureJan Kara
Fix possible false assertion failure in log_do_checkpoint(). We might fail to detect that we actually made a progress when cleaning up the checkpoint lists if we don't retry after writing something to disk. The patch was confirmed to fix observed assertion failures for several users. When we flushed some buffers we need to retry scanning the list. Otherwise we can fail to detect our progress.
