* [PATCH] ufs: unlock_super without lockEvgeniy Dushistov2006-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ufs_free_blocks function looks now in so way: if (err) goto failed; lock_super(); failed: unlock_super(); So if error happen we'll unlock not locked super.

* [PATCH] ufs: easy debugEvgeniy Dushistov2006-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently to turn on debug mode "user" has to edit ~10 files, to turn off he has to do it again.

* [PATCH] ufs: not usual amounts of fragments per blockEvgeniy Dushistov2006-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | The writing to UFS file system with block/fragment!=8 may cause bogus behaviour. The problem in "ufs_bitmap_search" function, which doesn't work correctly in "block/fragment!=8" case. The idea is stolen from BSD code.

* [PATCH] ufs: wrong type castEvgeniy Dushistov2006-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two ugly macros in ufs code: #define UCPI_UBH ((struct ufs_buffer_head *)ucpi) #define USPI_UBH ((struct ufs_buffer_head *)uspi) when uspi looks like struct { struct ufs_buffer_head ; } and USPI_UBH has some sence, ucpi looks like struct { struct not_ufs_buffer_head; } To prevent bugs in future, this patch convert macros to inline function and fix "ucpi" structure.

* [PATCH] ufs: directory and page cache: install aopsEvgeniy Dushistov2006-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This series of patches finished "bugs fixing" mentioned here http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/31/275 . The main bugs: * for i in `seq 1 1000`; do touch $i; done - crash system * mkdir create directory without "." and ".." entries The suggested solution is work with page cache instead of straight work with blocks. Such solution has following advantages * reduce code size and its complexity * some global locks go away * fix bugs The most part of code is stolen from ext2, because of it has similar directory structure. Patches testes with UFS1 and UFS2 file systems. This patch installs i_mapping->a_ops for directory inodes and removes some duplicated code.

* [PATCH] ufs: change block number on the flyEvgeniy Dushistov2006-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | First of all some necessary notes about UFS by it self: To avoid waste of disk space the tail of file consists not from blocks (which is ordinary big enough, 16K usually), it consists from fragments(which is ordinary 2K). When file is growing its tail occupy 1 fragment, 2 fragments... At some stage decision to allocate whole block is made and all fragments are moved to one block. How this situation was handled before: ufs_prepare_write ->block_prepare_write ->ufs_getfrag_block ->... ->ufs_new_fragments: bh = sb_bread bh->b_blocknr = result + i; mark_buffer_dirty (bh); This is wrong solution, because: - it didn't take into consideration that there is another cache: "inode page cache" - because of sb_getblk uses not b_blocknr, (it uses page->index) to find certain block, this breaks sb_getblk. How this situation is handled now: we go though all "page inode cache", if there are no such page in cache we load it into cache, and change b_blocknr.

* [PATCH] ufs: ufs_trunc_indirect: infinite cycleEvgeniy Dushistov2006-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, ufs write support have two sets of problems: work with files and work with directories. This series of patches should solve the first problem. This patch is similar to http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/17/61 this patch complements it. The situation the same: in ufs_trunc_(not direct), we read block, check if count of links to it is equal to one, if so we finish cycle, if not continue. Because of "count of links" always >=2 this operation cause infinite cycle and hang up the kernel.

* [PATCH] Define __raw_get_cpu_var and use itPaul Mackerras2006-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are several instances of per_cpu(foo, raw_smp_processor_id()), which is semantically equivalent to __get_cpu_var(foo) but without the warning that smp_processor_id() can give if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled. For those architectures with optimized per-cpu implementations, namely ia64, powerpc, s390, sparc64 and x86_64, per_cpu() turns into more and slower code than __get_cpu_var(), so it would be preferable to use __get_cpu_var on those platforms. This defines a __raw_get_cpu_var(x) macro which turns into per_cpu(x, raw_smp_processor_id()) on architectures that use the generic per-cpu implementation, and turns into __get_cpu_var(x) on the architectures that have an optimized per-cpu implementation.

* [PATCH] page migration: Support a vma migration functionChristoph Lameter2006-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hooks for calling vma specific migration functions With this patch a vma may define a vma->vm_ops->migrate function. That function may perform page migration on its own (some vmas may not contain page structs and therefore cannot be handled by regular page migration. Pages in a vma may require special preparatory treatment before migration is possible etc) . Only mmap_sem is held when the migration function is called. The migrate() function gets passed two sets of nodemasks describing the source and the target of the migration. The flags parameter either contains MPOL_MF_MOVE which means that only pages used exclusively by the specified mm should be moved or MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL which means that pages shared with other processes should also be moved. The migration function returns 0 on success or an error condition. An error condition will prevent regular page migration from occurring. On its own this patch cannot be included since there are no users for this functionality. But it seems that the uncached allocator will need this functionality at some point.

There is no need to set VM_SHM since it does nothing. VM_LOCKED is of no use since the remap_pfn_range does not place pages on the LRU. The pages are therefore never subject to swap anyways. Remove all the vm_flags settings before calling remap_pfn_range. After removing all the vm_flag settings no use of VM_SHM is left. Drop it.
