* [PATCH] reiserfs: warn about the useless nolargeio optionAdrian Bunk2006-09-27

* [PATCH] inode-diet: Eliminate i_blksize from the inode structureTheodore Ts'o2006-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode. Filesystems that want to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function. Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect) values for i_blksize.

* [PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_privateTheodore Ts'o2006-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode (i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat in the VFS inode structure). This patch: The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union, which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where the union will actually be used.

* [PATCH] autofs4 needs to force fail return revalidateIan Kent2006-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For a long time now I have had a problem with not being able to return a lookup failure on an existsing directory. In autofs this corresponds to a mount failure on a autofs managed mount entry that is browsable (and so the mount point directory exists). While this problem has been present for a long time I've avoided resolving it because it was not very visible. But now that autofs v5 has "mount and expire on demand" of nested multiple mounts, such as is found when mounting an export list from a server, solving the problem cannot be avoided any longer. I've tried very hard to find a way to do this entirely within the autofs4 module but have not been able to find a satisfactory way to achieve it. So, I need to propose a change to the VFS.

* [PATCH] ext3: wrong error behaviorVasily Averin2006-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SWsoft Virtuozzo/OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered that ext3 error behavior was broken in linux kernels since 2.5.x versions by the following patch: 2002/10/31 02:15:26-05:00 tytso@snap.thunk.org Default mount options from superblock for ext2/3 filesystems http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@3dc0d88eKbV9ivV4ptRNM8fBuA3JBQ In case ext3 file system is mounted with errors=continue (EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE) errors should be ignored when possible. However at present in case of any error kernel aborts journal and remounts filesystem to read-only. Such behavior was hit number of times and noted to differ from that of 2.4.x kernels. This patch fixes this: - do nothing in case of EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE, - set EXT3_MOUNT_ABORT and call journal_abort() in all other cases - panic() should be called after ext3_commit_super() to save sb marked as EXT3_ERROR_FS Signed-off-by: Vasily Averin <vvs@sw.ru> Acked-by: Kirill Korotaev <dev@sw.ru> Cc: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: "Stephen C.

* [PATCH] JBD: 16T fixesEric Sandeen2006-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These are a few places I've found in jbd that look like they may not be 16T-safe, or consistent with the use of unsigned longs for block containers. Problems here would be somewhat hard to hit, would require journal blocks past the 8T boundary, which would not be terribly common. Still, should fix. (some of these have come from the ext4 work on jbd as well). I think there's one more possibility that the wrap() function may not be safe IF your last block in the journal butts right up against the 232 block boundary, but that seems like a VERY remote possibility, and I'm not worrying about it at this point.

* [PATCH] fix ext3 mounts at 16TEric Sandeen2006-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I need to do some actual IO testing now, but this gets things mounting for a 16T ext3 filesystem. (patched up e2fsprogs is needed too, I'll send that off the kernel list) This patch fixes these issues in the kernel: o sbi->s_groups_count overflows in ext3_fill_super() sbi->s_groups_count = (le32_to_cpu(es->s_blocks_count) - le32_to_cpu(es->s_first_data_block) + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) - 1) / EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb); at 16T, s_blocks_count is already maxed out; adding EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) overflows it and groups_count comes out to 0. Not really what we want, and causes a failed mount. Feel free to check my math (actually, please do!), but changing it this way should work & avoid the overflow: (A + B - 1)/B changed to: ((A - 1)/B) + 1 o ext3_check_descriptors() overflows range checks ext3_check_descriptors() iterates over all block groups making sure that various bits are within the right block ranges... on the last pass through, it is checking the error case [item] >= block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) where "block" is the first block in the last block group. The last block in this group (and the last one that will fit in 32 bits) is block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)- 1. block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) wraps back around to 0. so, make things clearer with "first_block" and "last_block" where those are first and last, inclusive, and use <, > rather than <, >=. Finally, the last block group may be smaller than the rest, so account for this on the last pass through: last_block = sb->s_blocks_count - 1; (a similar patch could be done for ext2; does anyone in their right mind use ext2 at 16T? I'll send an ext2 patch doing the same thing if that's warranted) Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <esandeen@redhat.com> Cc: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* | [PATCH] mm: tracking shared dirty pagesPeter Zijlstra2006-09-26

The idea is simple: write protect clean shared writeable pages, catch the write-fault, make writeable and set dirty. On page write-back clean all the PTE dirty bits and write protect them once again. The implementation is a tad harder, mainly because the default backing_dev_info capabilities were too loosely maintained. Hence it is not enough to test the backing_dev_info for cap_account_dirty. The current heuristic is as follows, a VMA is eligible when: - its shared writeable (vm_flags & (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)) == (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED) - it is not a 'special' mapping (vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_INSERTPAGE)) == 0 - the backing_dev_info is cap_account_dirty mapping_cap_account_dirty(vma->vm_file->f_mapping) - f_op->mmap() didn't change the default page protection Page from remap_pfn_range() are explicitly excluded because their COW semantics are already horrid enough (see vm_normal_page() in do_wp_page()) and because they don't have a backing store anyway. mprotect() is taught about the new behaviour as well. However it overrides the last condition. Cleaning the pages on write-back is done with page_mkclean() a new rmap call. It can be called on any page, but is currently only implemented for mapped pages, if the page is found the be of a VMA that accounts dirty pages it will also wrprotect the PTE. Finally, in fs/buffers.c:try_to_free_buffers(); remove clear_page_dirty() from under ->private_lock. This seems to be safe, since ->private_lock is used to serialize access to the buffers, not the page itself.

* | [PATCH] jbd: fix commit of ordered data buffersJan Kara2006-09-26
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Original commit code assumes, that when a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is locked, it is being written to disk. But this is not true and hence it can lead to a potential data loss on crash. Also the code didn't count with the fact that journal_dirty_data() can steal buffers from committing transaction and hence could write buffers that no longer belong to the committing transaction. Finally it could possibly happen that we tried writing out one buffer several times. The patch below tries to solve these problems by a complete rewrite of the data commit code. We go through buffers on t_sync_datalist, lock buffers needing write out and store them in an array. Buffers are also immediately refiled to BJ_Locked list or unfiled (if the write out is completed). When the array is full or we have to block on buffer lock, we submit all accumulated buffers for IO.

* [PATCH] autofs4: zero timeout prevents shutdownIan Kent2006-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the timeout of an autofs mount is set to zero then umounts are disabled. This works fine, however the kernel module checks the expire timeout and goes no further if it is zero. This is not the right thing to do at shutdown as the module is passed an option to expire mounts regardless of their timeout setting. This patch allows autofs to honor the force expire option.

* ocfs2: Teach ocfs2_drop_lock() to use ->set_lvb() callbackMark Fasheh2006-09-24
| | | | | | | | With this, we don't need to pass an additional struct with function pointer. Now that the callbacks are fully used, comment the remaining API. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
* ocfs2: Remove ->unblock lockres operationMark Fasheh2006-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | Have ocfs2_process_blocked_lock() call ocfs2_generic_unblock_lock(), which gets to be ocfs2_unblock_lock() now that it's the only possible unblock function. Remove the ->unblock() callback from the structure, and all lock type specific unblock functions. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
* ocfs2: move downconvert worker to lockres opsMark Fasheh2006-09-24
| | | | | | | This way lock types don't have to manually pass it to ocfs2_generic_unblock_lock(). Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
* ocfs2: Remove unused dlmglue functionsMark Fasheh2006-09-24
| | | | | | | The meta data unblocking code no longer needs ocfs2_do_unblock_meta() or ocfs2_can_downconvert_meta_lock(), so remove them. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
* ocfs2: Have the metadata lock use generic dlmglue functionsMark Fasheh2006-09-24
| | | | | | | | Fill in the ->check_downconvert and ->set_lvb callbacks with meta data specific operations and switch ocfs2_unblock_meta() to call ocfs2_generic_unblock_lock() Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
* ocfs2: Add ->set_lvb callback in dlmglueMark Fasheh2006-09-24
| | | | | | This allows a lock type to set the value block before downconvert. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
* ocfs2: Add ->check_downconvert callback in dlmglueMark Fasheh2006-09-24
| | | | | | This will allow lock types to force a requeue of a lock downconvert. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
* ocfs2: Check for refreshing locks in generic unblock functionMark Fasheh2006-09-24
| | | | | | Tidy up the exit path a bit too. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
* ocfs2: don't unconditionally pass LVB flagsMark Fasheh2006-09-24
| | | | | | | | | Allow a lock type to specifiy whether it makes use of the LVB. The only type which does this right now is the meta data lock. This should save us some space on network messages since they won't have to needlessly transmit value blocks. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
