* [PATCH] 32-bit compatibility HDIO IOCTLsMaciej W. Rozycki2006-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A couple of HDIO IOCTLs are not yet handled and a few others are marked as using a pointer rather than an unsigned long. The formers include: HDIO_GET_WCACHE, HDIO_GET_ACOUSTIC, HDIO_GET_ADDRESS and HDIO_GET_BUSSTATE. The latters are: HDIO_SET_MULTCOUNT, HDIO_SET_UNMASKINTR, HDIO_SET_KEEPSETTINGS, HDIO_SET_32BIT, HDIO_SET_NOWERR, HDIO_SET_DMA, HDIO_SET_PIO_MODE and HDIO_SET_NICE. Additionally 0x330 used to be HDIO_GETGEO_BIG and may be issued by 32-bit `hdparm' run on a 64-bit kernel making Linux complain loudly. This is a fix for these issues. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

* [PATCH] ext2: errors behaviour fixVasily Averin2006-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current error behaviour for ext2 and ext3 filesystems does not fully correspond to the documentation and should be fixed. According to man 8 mount, ext2 and ext3 file systems allow to set one of 3 different on-errors behaviours: ---- start of quote man 8 mount ---- errors=continue / errors=remount-ro / errors=panic Define the behaviour when an error is encountered. (Either ignore errors and just mark the file system erroneous and continue, or remount the file system read-only, or panic and halt the system.) The default is set in the filesystem superblock, and can be changed using tune2fs(8). ---- end of quote ---- However EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock, and thus ERRORS_CONT is not saved on the sbi->s_mount_opt. It leads to the incorrect handle of errors on ext3. Then we've checked corresponding code in ext2 and discovered that it is buggy as well: - EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock (the same); - parse_option() does not clean the alternative values and thus something like (ERRORS_CONT|ERRORS_RO) can be set; - if options are omitted, parse_option() does not set any of these options. Therefore it is possible to set any combination of these options on the ext2: - none of them may be set: EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE on superblock / empty mount options; - any of them may be set using mount options; - 2 any options may be set: by using EXT2_ERRORS_RO/EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the superblock and other value in mount options; - and finally all three options may be set by adding third option in remount. Currently ext2 uses these values only in ext2_error() and it is not leading to any noticeable troubles. However somebody may be discouraged when he will try to workaround EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the superblock by using errors=continue in mount options. This patch: EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE should be read from the superblock as default value for error behaviour. parse_option() should clean the alternative options and should not change default value taken from the superblock.

* [PATCH] grow_buffers() infinite loop fixAndrew Morton2006-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If grow_buffers() is for some reason passed a block number which wants to lie outside the maximum-addressable pagecache range (PAGE_SIZE * 4G bytes) then it will accidentally truncate `index' and will then instnatiate a page at the wrong pagecache offset. This causes __getblk_slow() to go into an infinite loop. This can happen with corrupted disks, or with software errors elsewhere. Detect that, and handle it.

* [PATCH] epoll_pwait()Davide Libenzi2006-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement the epoll_pwait system call, that extend the event wait mechanism with the same logic ppoll and pselect do. The definition of epoll_pwait is: int epoll_pwait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents, int timeout, const sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sigsetsize); The difference between the vanilla epoll_wait and epoll_pwait is that the latter allows the caller to specify a signal mask to be set while waiting for events. Hence epoll_pwait will wait until either one monitored event, or an unmasked signal happen. If sigmask is NULL, the epoll_pwait system call will act exactly like epoll_wait.

* [PATCH] ext4 64 bit divide fixAndrew Morton2006-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With CONFIG_LBD=n, sector_div() expands to a plain old divide. But ext4 is _not_ passing in a sector_t as the first argument, so... fs/built-in.o: In function `ext4_get_group_no_and_offset': fs/ext4/balloc.c:39: undefined reference to `__umoddi3' fs/ext4/balloc.c:41: undefined reference to `__udivdi3' fs/built-in.o: In function `find_group_orlov': fs/ext4/ialloc.c:278: undefined reference to `__udivdi3' fs/built-in.o: In function `ext4_fill_super': fs/ext4/super.c:1488: undefined reference to `__udivdi3' fs/ext4/super.c:1488: undefined reference to `__umoddi3' fs/ext4/super.c:1594: undefined reference to `__udivdi3' fs/ext4/super.c:1601: undefined reference to `__umoddi3' Fix that up by calling do_div() directly. Also cast the arg to u64. do_div() is only defined on u64, and ext4_fsblk_t is supposed to be opaque. Note especially the changes to find_group_orlov(). It was attempting to do do_div(int, unsigned long long); which is royally screwed up. Switched it to plain old divide.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit fe1668ae5bf0145014c71797febd9ad5670d5d05 causes kernel to oops with libhugetlbfs test suite. The problem is that hugetlb pages can be shared by multiple mappings. Multiple threads can fight over page->lru in the unmap path and bad things happen. We now serialize __unmap_hugepage_range to void concurrent linked list manipulation. Such serialization is also needed for shared page table page on hugetlb area. This patch will fixed the bug and also serve as a prepatch for shared page table.

* [PATCH] Introduce vfs_listxattrBill Nottingham2006-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves code out of fs/xattr.c:listxattr into a new function - vfs_listxattr. The code for vfs_listxattr was originally submitted by Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com> to Unionfs. Sorry about that. The reason for this submission is to make the listxattr code in fs/xattr.c a little cleaner (as well as to clean up some code in Unionfs.) Currently, Unionfs has vfs_listxattr defined in its code. I think that's very ugly, and I'd like to see it (re)moved. The logical place to put it, is along side of all the other vfs_*xattr functions. Overall, I think this patch is benefitial for both kernel.org kernel and Unionfs.
