There is a possibility that dlm_remaster_locks could overwride node->state
with DLM_RECO_NODE_DATA_REQUESTED after dlm_reco_data_done_handler sets the
node->state to DLM_RECO_NODE_DATA_DONE. This could lead to recovery getting
stuck and requires a cluster reboot. Synchronize with dlm_reco_state_lock
spinlock.

We originally used to read every node and allocate a jffs2_tmp_dnode_info
structure for each, before processing them in (reverse) version order
and discarding the ones which are obsoleted by later nodes.
With huge logfiles, this behaviour caused memory problems. For example, a
file involved in OLPC trac #1292 has 1822391 nodes, and would cause the XO
machine to run out of memory during the first stage of read_inode().
Instead of just inserting nodes into a tree in version order as we find
them, we now put them into a tree in order of their offset within the
file, which allows us to immediately discard nodes which are completely
obsoleted.
We don't use a full tree with 'fragments' pointing to the real data
structure, as we do in the normal fragtree. We sort only on the start
address, and add an 'overlapped' flag to the tmp_dnode_info to indicate
that the node in question is (partially) overlapped by another.
When the scan is complete, we start at the end of the file, adding each
node to a real fragtree as before. Where the node is non-overlapped, we
just add it (it doesn't matter that it's not the latest version; there is
no overlap). When the node at the end of the tree _is_ overlapped, we sort
it and all its overlapping nodes into version order and then add them to
the fragtree in that order.
This 'early discard' reduces the peak allocation of tmp_dnode_info
structures from 1.8M to a mere 62872 (3.5%) in the degenerate case
referenced above.
This version of the patch also correctly rememembers the highest node
version# seen for an inode when it's scanned.

The listxattr() and getxattr() operations are only protected by a read
lock. As a result, if either of these operations run in parallel, a race
condition exists where the xattr_root will end up being cached twice, which
results in the leaking of a reference and a BUG() on umount.
This patch refactors get_xa_root(), __get_xa_root(), and create_xa_root(),
into one get_xa_root() function that takes the appropriate locking around
the entire critical section.

In read inode we have an optimization which prevents one
min. I/O unit (e.g. NAND page) to be read more then once.
Namely, at the beginning we do not know which node type we read,
so we read so we assume we read the directory entry, because it
has the smallest node header. When we read it, we read up to the
next min. I/O unit, just because if later we'll need to read more,
we already have this data.
If it turns out to be that the node is not directory entry, and
we need more data, and we did not read it because it sits in the
next min. I/O unit, we read the whole next (or several next)
min. I/O unit(s). And if it happens to be that we read a data node,
and we've read part of its data, we calculate partial CRC.
So if later we need to check data CRC, we'll only read the rest
of the data from further min. I/O units and continue CRC checking.
This code was a bit messy and buggy. The bug was that it assumed
relatively large min. I/O unit, so that the largest node header
could overlap only one min. I/O unit boundary.
This parch clean-ups the code a bit and fixes this bug.
The patch was not tested on flash with small min. I/O unit, like
NOR-ECC, nut it was tested on NAND with 512 bytes NAND page, so
it at least does not break NAND. It was also tested with mtdram
so it should not break NOR.

Commit f50b6f8691 introduced a race in
autofs4 between autofs_lookup_unhashed() and autofs_dentry_release().
autofs_dentry_release() ends up clearing the ->dentry and ->inode members
of autofs_info before removing it from the rehash list. The list is
protected by the rehash lock in both functions, but since
autofs_dentry_release() starts tearing the autofs_info struct down before
removing it from the list, autofs_lookup_unhashed() can get a autofs_info
with a NULL dentry.
This patch moves the clearing of ->dentry and ->inode after the removal
from the rehash list.

"When we block_prepare_write() failed while ext3_prepare_write() we jump to

and invoke commit_write untill it. This is wrong!! because some bh from
begining to the last mapped bh may be not uptodate. As a result we commit to
disk not uptodate page content witch contains garbage from previous usage."
and
"Unexpected file size increasing."
Call trace the same as it was in first issue but result is different.
For example we have file with i_size is zero. we want write two blocks ,
but fs has only one free block.
->ext3_prepare_write(...from == 0, to == 2048)
retry:
->block_prepare_write() == -ENOSPC# we failed but allocated one block here.
->ext3_prepare_failure()
->commit_write( from == 0, to == 1024) # after this i_size becomes 1024 :)
if (ret == -ENOSPC && ext3_should_retry_alloc(inode->i_sb, &retries))
goto retry;
Finally when all retries will be spended ext3_prepare_failure return
-ENOSPC, but i_size was increased and later block trimm procedures can't
help here.
We don't appear to have the horsepower to fix these issues, so let's put
things back the way they were for now.

while only providing our own code where it's actually important.

Splice does not need to readpage to bring the page uptodate before writing
to it, because prepare_write will take care of that for us.
Splice is also wrong to SetPageUptodate before the page is actually uptodate.
This results in the old uninitialised memory leak. This gets fixed as a
matter of course when removing the readpage logic.

Stealing pages with splice is problematic because we cannot just insert
an uptodate page into the pagecache and hope the filesystem can take care
of it later.
We also cannot just ClearPageUptodate, then hope prepare_write does not
write anything into the page, because I don't think prepare_write gives
that guarantee.
Remove support for SPLICE_F_MOVE for now. If we really want to bring it
back, we might be able to do so with a the new filesystem buffered write
aops APIs I'm working on. If we really don't want to bring it back, then
we should decide that sooner rather than later, and remove the flag and
all the stealing infrastructure before anybody starts using it.

Fix the /proc/pid/stat representation of executable boundaries. It should

The code boundaries are then 3276111872 to 3276141668, which are:
(gdb) p/x 3276111872
$1 = 0xc3458000
(gdb) p/x 3276141668
$2 = 0xc345f464

c3458000-c345f464 r-xs 00000000 00:0b 16384612 /usr/sbin/inetd

This bug was seen on ppc64, but it could have occurred on any
architecture with a page size of 64k or above. The problem is that in
fs/binfmt_elf.c:randomize_stack_top() randomizes the stack to within
0x7ff pages. On 4k page machines, this is 8MB; on 64k page boxes, this
is 128MB.
The problem is that the new binary layout (selected in
arch_pick_mmap_layout) places the mapping segment 128MB or the stack
rlimit away from the top of the process memory, whichever is larger. If
you chose an rlimit of less than 128MB (most defaults are in the 8Mb
range) then you can end up having your entire stack randomized away.
The fix is to make randomize_stack_top() only steal at most 8MB, which this
patch does. However, I have to point out that even with this, your stack
rlimit might not be exactly what you get if it's > 128MB, because you're
still losing the random offset of up to 8MB.
The true fix should be to leave an explicit gap for the randomization plus
a buffer when determining mmap_base, but that would involve fixing all the
architectures.

The current NFS client congestion logic is severly broken, it marks the

mirror this in nfs_writepage() which makes for deadlocks. Also it
implements its own waitqueue.
Replace this by a more regular congestion implementation that puts a cap on
the number of active writeback pages and uses the bdi congestion waitqueue.
Also always use an interruptible wait since it makes sense to be able to
SIGKILL the process even for mounts without 'intr'.

The garbage collection thread is strictly an optimisation. Everything it
does would also be done just-in-time in the context of something in
userspace trying to access the file system.
Sometimes, however, it's a pessimisation. Especially during early boot
when it's checksumming nodes and scanning inodes which are shortly going
to be pulled in by read_inode anyway. We end up building the rbtree of
node coverage twice for the same inode.
By switching to yield() instead of cond_resched() in the main loop, we
observe boot times on the OLPC system going down from about 100 seconds to
