For browsable autofs maps, a mount request that arrives at the same time an
expire is happening can fail to perform the needed mount.
This happens becuase the directory exists and so the revalidate succeeds when
we need it to fail so that lookup is called on the same dentry to do the
mount. Instead lookup is called on the next path component which should be
whithin the mount, but the parent isn't mounted.
The solution is to allow the revalidate to continue and perform the mount as
no directory creation (at mount time) is needed for browsable mount entries.

At the tail end of an expire it's possible for a process to enter
autofs4_wait, with a waitq type of NFY_NONE but find that the expire is
finished. In this cause autofs4_wait will try to create a new wait but not
notify the daemon leading to a hang. As the wait type is meant to delay mount
requests from revalidate or lookup during an expire and the expire is done all
we need to do is check if the dentry is a mountpoint. If it's not then we're
done.

Ingo recently introduced a great speedup for allocating new mmaps using the
free_area_cache pointer which boosts the specweb SSL benchmark by 4-5% and
causes huge performance increases in thread creation.
The downside of this patch is that it does lead to fragmentation in the
mmap-ed areas (visible via /proc/self/maps), such that some applications
that work fine under 2.4 kernels quickly run out of memory on any 2.6
kernel.
The problem is twofold:
1) the free_area_cache is used to continue a search for memory where
the last search ended. Before the change new areas were always
searched from the base address on.
So now new small areas are cluttering holes of all sizes
throughout the whole mmap-able region whereas before small holes
tended to close holes near the base leaving holes far from the base
large and available for larger requests.
2) the free_area_cache also is set to the location of the last
munmap-ed area so in scenarios where we allocate e.g. five regions of
1K each, then free regions 4 2 3 in this order the next request for 1K
will be placed in the position of the old region 3, whereas before we
appended it to the still active region 1, placing it at the location
of the old region 2. Before we had 1 free region of 2K, now we only
get two free regions of 1K -> fragmentation.
The patch addresses thes issues by introducing yet another cache descriptor
cached_hole_size that contains the largest known hole size below the
current free_area_cache. If a new request comes in the size is compared
against the cached_hole_size and if the request can be filled with a hole
below free_area_cache the search is started from the base instead.
The results look promising: Whereas 2.6.12-rc4 fragments quickly and my
(earlier posted) leakme.c test program terminates after 50000+ iterations
with 96 distinct and fragmented maps in /proc/self/maps it performs nicely
(as expected) with thread creation, Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads
requires 0.7s system time.
Taking out Ingo's patch (un-patch available per request) by basically
deleting all mentions of free_area_cache from the kernel and starting the
search for new memory always at the respective bases we observe: leakme
terminates successfully with 11 distinctive hardly fragmented areas in
/proc/self/maps but thread creating is gringdingly slow: 30+s(!) system
time for Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads.
Now - drumroll ;-) the appended patch works fine with leakme: it ends with
only 7 distinct areas in /proc/self/maps and also thread creation seems
sufficiently fast with 0.71s for 20000 threads.

This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that
Arjan van de Ven and I came up with.
The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API
spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the
usage side.
Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the
complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined
__smp_processor_id.
In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols:
- smp_processor_id(): debug variant.
- raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing
uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined
by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h.
There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT:
- debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to
smp_processor_id().
Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new
lib/smp_processor_id.c file. All related comments got updated and/or
clarified.
I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86:
{SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT}
I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT. (Other
architectures are untested, but should work just fine.)

Based on the discussion about spufs attributes, this is my suggestion
for a more generic attribute file support that can be used by both
debugfs and spufs.
Simple attribute files behave similarly to sequential files from
a kernel programmers perspective in that a standard set of file
operations is provided and only an open operation needs to
be written that registers file specific get() and set() functions.
These operations are defined as
void foo_set(void *data, u64 val); and
u64 foo_get(void *data);
where data is the inode->u.generic_ip pointer of the file and the
operations just need to make send of that pointer. The infrastructure
makes sure this works correctly with concurrent access and partial
read calls.
A macro named DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE is provided to further simplify
using the attributes.
This patch already contains the changes for debugfs to use attributes
for its internal file operations.

We should never apply a lookup intent to anything other than the last

Introduce the helper nfs_lookup_check_intent() which always returns
zero if LOOKUP_CONTINUE or LOOKUP_PARENT are set, and returns the
intent flags if we're on the last component of the lookup.
By doing so, we fix a bug in open(O_EXCL), where we may end up

one if we hit it just after crossing a mountpoint. Again, wrong vfsmount

In open_namei(), __follow_down() loop turned into __follow_mount().
Instead of
if we are on a mountpoint dentry
if O_NOFOLLOW checks fail
drop path.dentry
drop nd
return
do equivalent of follow_mount(&path.mnt, &path.dentry)
nd->mnt = path.mnt
we do
if __follow_mount(path) had, indeed, traversed mountpoint
/* now both nd->mnt and path.mnt are pinned down */
if O_NOFOLLOW checks fail
drop path.dentry
drop path.mnt
drop 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.

- Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a
node. These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of
the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching
dentry and inode cache bloat.
This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more
accurate view of the tree presented to userland.

CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WRITEBUFFER.

For Dataflash, can_mark_obsolete = false and the NAND write buffering
code (wbuf.c) is used.
Since the DataFlash chip will automatically erase pages when writing,
the cleanmarkers are not needed - so cleanmarker_oob = false and
cleanmarker_size = 0
DataFlash page-sizes are not a power of two (they're multiples of 528
bytes). The SECTOR_ADDR macro (added in the previous core patch) is
replaced with a (slower) div/mod version if CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_DATAFLASH is

DataFlash page-sizes are not a power of two (they're multiples of 528
bytes). There are a few places in JFFS2 code where sector_size is used
as a bitmask. A new macro (SECTOR_ADDR) was defined to calculate these
sector addresses. For non-DataFlash devices, the original (faster)
bitmask operation is still used.
In scan.c, the EMPTY_SCAN_SIZE was a constant of 1024.
Since this could be larger than the sector size of the DataFlash, this
is now basically set to MIN(sector_size, 1024).

Avoid console spam with ext3 aborted journal.
ext3 usually reports error conditions that it detects in its environment.
But when its journal gets aborted due to such errors, it can sometimes
continue to report that condition forever, spamming the console to such
an extent that the initial first cause of the journal abort can be lost.
When the journal aborts, we put the filesystem into readonly mode. Most
subsequent filesystem operations will get rejected immediately by checks
for MS_RDONLY either in the filesystem or in the VFS. But some paths do
not have such checks --- for example, if we continue to write to a file
handle that was opened before the fs went readonly. (We only check for
the ROFS condition when the file is first opened.) In these cases, we
can continue to generate log errors similar to
EXT3-fs error (device $DEV) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted
for each subsequent write.
There is really no point in generating these errors after the initial
error has been fully reported. Specifically, if we're starting a
completely new filesystem operation, and the filesystem is *already*
readonly (ie. the ext3 layer has already detected and handled the
underlying jbd abort), and we see an EROFS error, then there is simply
no point in reporting it again.

If block_read_full_page() detects an error when running get_block() it will
run SetPageError(), then it will zero out the block in pagecache and will mark
the buffer_head uptodate.
So at the end of readahead we end up with a non-uptodate pagecache page which
is marked PageError. But it has uptodate buffers.
The pagefault code will run ClearPageError, will launch readpage a second time
and block_read_full_page() will notice the uptodate buffers and will mark the
page uptodate as well. We end up with an uptodate, !PageError page full of
zeros and the error is lost.
(It seems a little odd that filemap_nopage() runs ClearPageError(). I guess
all of this adds up to meaning that for each attempted access to the page, the
pagefault handler will retry the I/O. Which is good and bad. If the app is
ignoring SIGBUS for some reason we could get a lot of back-to-back I/O
errors.)
Fix it by not marking the pagecache buffer_head as uptodate if the attempt to
map that buffer to a disk block failed.

When running

page size over loopback to an image file on a tmpfs filesystem, I would
very quickly hit
BUG_ON(!buffer_async_write(bh));
in fs/buffer.c:end_buffer_async_write
It seems that more than one request would be submitted for a given bh
at a time.
What would happen is the following:
2 threads doing __mpage_writepages on the same page.
Thread 1 - lock the page first, and enter __block_write_full_page.
Thread 1 - (eg.) mark_buffer_async_write on the first 2 buffers.
Thread 1 - set page writeback, unlock page.
Thread 2 - lock page, wait on page writeback
Thread 1 - submit_bh on the first 2 buffers.
=> both requests complete, none of the page buffers are async_write,
end_page_writeback is called.
Thread 2 - wakes up. enters __block_write_full_page.
Thread 2 - mark_buffer_async_write on (eg.) the last buffer
Thread 1 - finds the last buffer has async_write set, submit_bh on that.
Thread 2 - submit_bh on the last buffer.
=> oops.
So change __block_write_full_page to explicitly keep track of the last bh
we need to issue, so we don't touch anything after issuing the last

sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I
have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.
I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.
You can see result of the modified documentation build at

The extra race-with-truncate-then-retry logic around
ext3_get_block_handle(), which was inherited from ext2, becomes unecessary
for ext3, since we have already obtained the ei->truncate_sem in
ext3_get_block_handle() before calling ext3_alloc_branch(). The
ei->truncate_sem is already there to block concurrent truncate and block
allocation on the same inode. So the inode's indirect addressing tree
won't be changed after we grab that semaphore.
We could, after get the semaphore, re-verify the branch is up-to-date or
not. If it has been changed, then get the updated branch. If we still
need block allocation, we will have a safe version of the branch to work
with in the ext3_find_goal()/ext3_splice_branch().
The code becomes more readable after remove those retry logic. The patch
also clean up some gotos in ext3_get_block_handle() to make it more

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().

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.

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.

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.

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.
