4bf69b2a06 [PATCH] aio: ring wrapping simplification
Since the tail pointer in aio_ring structure never wrap ring size more than
once, so a simple compare is sufficient to wrap the index around.  This avoid
a more expensive mod operation.

212079cf4e [PATCH] aio: remove superfluous kiocb member initialization
This patch removes superfluous kiocb member initialization in the AIO
allocation and deallocation path.  For example, in really_put_req(),
right before kiocb is returned to slab, 5 variables are reset to NULL.
The same variables will be initialized at the kiocb allocation time,
so why bother reset them knowing that they will be set to valid data
at alloc time?  Another example: ki_retry is initialized in __aio_get_req,
but is initialized again in io_submit_one.

9a3bb30173 [PATCH] reiserfs: make resize option auto-get new device size
It's trivial for the resize option to auto-get the underlying device size,
while it's harder for the user.  I've copied the code from jfs.

Since of the different reiserfs option parser (which does not use the
superior match_token used by almost every other filesystem), I've had to
use the "resize=auto" and not "resize" option to specify this behaviour.
Changing the option parser to the kernel one wouldn't be bad but I've no
time to do this cleanup in this moment.

Btw, the mount(8) man page should be updated to include this option.  Cc
the relevant people, please (I hope I cc'ed the right people).

f246315e1a [PATCH] procfs: Fix hardlink counts for /proc/<PID>/task
The current logic assumes that a /proc/<PID>/task directory should have a
hardlink count of 3, probably counting ".", "..", and a directory for a
single child task.

It's fairly obvious that this doesn't work out correctly when a PID has
more than one child task, which is quite often the case.

bcf88e1163 [PATCH] procfs: Fix hardlink counts
The pid directories in /proc/ currently return the wrong hardlink count - 3,
when there are actually 4 : ".", "..", "fd", and "task".

This is easy to notice using find(1):
	cd /proc/<pid>
	find

In the output, you'll see a message similar to:

find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for .: this may be a bug in your
filesystem driver.  Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option.
Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have
been searched.

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86031

I also noticed that CONFIG_SECURITY can add a 5th: attr, and performed a
similar fix on the task directories too.

ffa0aea681 [PATCH] uml - hostfs: avoid buffers
Use this:
	.set_page_dirty = __set_page_dirty_nobuffers,

We already dropped the inclusion of <linux/buffer_head.h>, and we don't have a
backing block device for this FS.

"Without having looked at it, I'm sure that hostfs does not use buffer_heads.
So setting your ->set_page_dirty a_op to point at __set_page_dirty_nobuffers()
is a reasonable thing to do - it'll provide a slight speedup."

This speedup is one less spinlock held and one less conditional branch, which
isn't bad.

ea3834d9fb namei: add audit_inode to all branches in path_lookup
Main change is in path_lookup: added a goto to do audit_inode
instead of return statement, when emul_lookup_dentry for root
is successful.The existing code does audit_inode only when
lookup is done in normal root or cwd.

Other changes: Some lookup routines are returning zero on success,
and some are returning zero on failure. I documented the related
function signatures in this code path, so that one can glance over
abstract functions without understanding the entire code.

The problem is that the mount data for the NFS4 mount process includes

conceivably exceed PAGE_SIZE in size - thus breaking against the hard
limit imposed by sys_mount().

The problem is that it breaks things ... __register_chrdev_region() has
a block of code, commented "temporary" for over two years now, which
fails rudely during PCMCIA initialization or other register_chrdev()
calls, because it doesn't "degrade to linked list".  This keeps whole
subsystems from working.

A real fix to that "temporary" code should be possible, using some better
scheme to allocate major numbers, but it's not something I want to spend
time on just now.

d13df84ff7 [PATCH] jbd dirty buffer leak fix
This fixes the lots-of-fsx-linux-instances-cause-a-slow-leak bug.

It's been there since 2.6.6, caused by:

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.5/2.6.5-mm4/broken-out/jbd-move-locked-buffers.patch

That patch moves under-writeout ordered-data buffers onto a separate journal
list during commit.  It took out the old code which was based on a single
list.

The old code (necessarily) had logic which would restart I/O against buffers
which had been redirtied while they were on the committing transaction's
t_sync_datalist list.  The new code only writes buffers once, ignoring
redirtyings by a later transaction, which is good.

But over on the truncate side of things, in journal_unmap_buffer(), we're
treating buffers on the t_locked_list as inviolable things which belong to the
committing transaction, and we just leave them alone during concurrent
truncate-vs-commit.

The net effect is that when truncate tries to invalidate a page whose buffers
are on t_locked_list and have been redirtied, journal_unmap_buffer() just
leaves those buffers alone.  truncate will remove the page from its mapping
and we end up with an anonymous clean page with dirty buffers, which is an
illegal state for a page.  The JBD commit will not clean those buffers as they
are removed from t_locked_list.  The VM (try_to_free_buffers) cannot reclaim
these pages.

The patch teaches journal_unmap_buffer() about buffers which are on the
committing transaction's t_locked_list.  These buffers have been written and
I/O has completed.  We can take them off the transaction and undirty them
within the context of journal_invalidatepage()->journal_unmap_buffer().

29504ff3be [PATCH] Direct IO async short read fix
The direct I/O code is mapping the read request to the file system block.  If
the file size was not on a block boundary, the result would show the the read
reading past EOF.  This was only happening for the AIO case.  The non-AIO case
truncates the result to match file size (in direct_io_worker).  This patch
does the same thing for the AIO case, it truncates the result to match the
file size if the read reads past EOF.

When I/O completes the result can be truncated to match the file size
without using i_size_read(), thus the aio result now matches the number of
bytes read to the end of file.

Don't put root block of quota tree to the free list (when quota file is

e072c6f2af [PATCH] ext2 corruption - regression between 2.6.9 and 2.6.10
Whilst trying to stress test a Promise SX8 card, we stumbled across
some nasty filesystem corruption in ext2. Our tests involved
creating an ext2 partition, mounting, running several concurrent
fsx's over it, umounting, and fsck'ing, all scripted[1]. The fsck
would always return with errors.

This regression was traced back to a change between 2.6.9 and
2.6.10, which moves the functionality of ext2_put_inode into
ext2_clear_inode.  The attached patch reverses this change, and
eliminated the source of corruption.

Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> said:

I think his patch for ext2 is correct.  The corruption on ext3 is not the same
issue he saw on ext2.  I believe that's the race between discard reservation
and reservation in-use that we already fixed it in 2.6.12- rc1.

For the problem related to ext2, at the time when we design reservation for
ext3, we decide we only need to discard the reservation at the last file
close, so we have ext3_discard_reservation on iput_final- >ext3_clear_inode.

The ext2 handle discard preallocation differently at that time, it discard the
preallocation at each iput(), not in input_final(), so we think it's
unnecessary to thrash it so frequently, and the right thing to do, as we did
for ext3 reservation, discard preallocation on last iput().  So we moved the
ext2_discard_preallocation from ext2_put_inode(0 to ext2_clear_inode.

Since ext2 preallocation is doing pre-allocation on disk, so it is possible
that at the unmount time, someone is still hold the reference of the inode, so
the preallocation for a file is not discard yet, so we still mark those blocks
allocated on disk, while they are not actually in the inode's block map, so
fsck will catch/fix that error later.

This is not a issue for ext3, as ext3 reservation(pre-allocation) is done in
memory.

fc9c9ab22d [PATCH] AYSNC IO using singals other than SIGIO
A question on sigwaitinfo based IO mechanism in multithreaded applications.

I am trying to use RT signals to notify me of IO events using RT signals
instead of SIGIO in a multithreaded applications.  I noticed that there was
some discussion on lkml during november 1999 with the subject of the
discussion as "Signal driven IO".  In the thread I noticed that RT signals
were being delivered to the worker thread.  I am running 2.6.10 kernel and
I am trying to use the very same mechanism and I find that only SIGIO being
propogated to the worker threads and RT signals only being propogated to
the main thread and not the worker threads where I actually want them to be
propogated too.  On further inspection I found that the following patch
which I have attached solves the problem.

I am not sure if this is a bug or feature in the kernel.


Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> said:

This relates only to fcntl F_SETSIG, which is a Linux extension.  So there is
no POSIX issue.  When changing various things like the normal SIGIO signalling
to do group signals, I was concerned strictly with the POSIX semantics and
generally avoided touching things in the domain of Linux inventions.  That's
why I didn't change this when I changed the call right next to it.  There is
no reason I can see that F_SETSIG-requested signals shouldn't use a group
signal like normal SIGIO does.  I'm happy to ACK this patch, there is nothing
wrong with its change to the semantics in my book.  But neither POSIX nor I
care a whit what F_SETSIG does.

547ee84cea [PATCH] ppc64: Improve mapping of vDSO
This patch reworks the way the ppc64 is mapped in user memory by the kernel
to make it more robust against possible collisions with executable
segments.  Instead of just whacking a VMA at 1Mb, I now use
get_unmapped_area() with a hint, and I moved the mapping of the vDSO to
after the mapping of the various ELF segments and of the interpreter, so
that conflicts get caught properly (it still has to be before
create_elf_tables since the later will fill the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR with the
proper address).

While I was at it, I also changed the 32 and 64 bits vDSO's to link at
their "natural" address of 1Mb instead of 0.  This is the address where
they are normally mapped in absence of conflict.  By doing so, it should be
possible to properly prelink one it's been verified to work on glibc.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
