* ext4: Update i_disksize properly when allocating from fallocate area.Aneesh Kumar K.V2008-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When allocating unitialized space at the end of file which had been preallocated with the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE option, the file size is not updated at that time. But the later we are not updating the file size when writing to that preallocated space. These changes are for code correctness.

* jbd2: fix race between jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() and jbd2 commit ↵Mingming Cao2008-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | transaction journal_try_to_free_buffers() could race with jbd commit transaction when the later is holding the buffer reference while waiting for the data buffer to flush to disk. If the caller of journal_try_to_free_buffers() request tries hard to release the buffers, it will treat the failure as error and return back to the caller. We have seen the directo IO failed due to this race. Some of the caller of releasepage() also expecting the buffer to be dropped when passed with GFP_KERNEL mask to the releasepage()->journal_try_to_free_buffers(). With this patch, if the caller is passing the GFP_KERNEL to indicating this call could wait, in case of try_to_free_buffers() failed, let's waiting for journal_commit_transaction() to finish commit the current committing transaction , then try to free those buffers again with journal locked.

* ext4: New inode allocation for FLEX_BG meta-data groups.Jose R. Santos2008-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch mostly controls the way inode are allocated in order to make ialloc aware of flex_bg block group grouping. It achieves this by bypassing the Orlov allocator when block group meta-data are packed toghether through mke2fs. Since the impact on the block allocator is minimal, this patch should have little or no effect on other block allocation algorithms. By controlling the inode allocation, it can basically control where the initial search for new block begins and thus indirectly manipulate the block allocator. This allocator favors data and meta-data locality so the disk will gradually be filled from block group zero upward. This helps improve performance by reducing seek time. Since the group of inode tables within one flex_bg are treated as one giant inode table, uninitialized block groups would not need to partially initialize as many inode table as with Orlov which would help fsck time as the filesystem usage goes up.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Try this: mount a share with unix extensions create a file on it umount the share You'll get the following message in the ring buffer: VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of cifs. Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day... ...the problem is that cifs_get_inode_info_unix is creating and hashing a new inode even when it's going to return error anyway. The first lookup when creating a file returns an error so we end up leaking this inode before we do the actual create. This appears to be a regression caused by commit 0e4bbde94fdc33f5b3d793166b21bf768ca3e098. The following patch seems to fix it for me, and fixes a minor formatting nit as well.

* Fix reference counting race on log buffersDave Chinner2008-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we release the iclog, we do an atomic_dec_and_lock to determine if we are the last reference and need to trigger update of log headers and writeout. However, in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() we also need to check if we have the last reference count there. If we do, we release the log buffer, otherwise we decrement the reference count. But the compare and decrement in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() is not atomic, so both places can see a reference count of 2 and neither will release the iclog. That leads to a filesystem hang. Close the race by replacing the atomic_read() and atomic_dec() pair with atomic_add_unless() to ensure that they are executed atomically.

* exec: fix stack excutability without PT_GNU_STACKHugh Dickins2008-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kernel Bugzilla #11063 points out that on some architectures (e.g. x86_32) exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program header should default to an executable stack; but this got broken by the unlimited argv feature because stack vma is now created before the right personality has been established: so breaking old binaries using nested function trampolines. Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack vm_flags used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup. Checking through our existing VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct: so this seems safer than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.

* 9p: fix O_APPEND in legacy modeEric Van Hensbergen2008-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | The legacy protocol's open operation doesn't handle an append operation (it is expected that the client take care of it). We were incorrectly passing the extended protocol's flag through even in legacy mode. This was reported in bugzilla report #10689. This patch fixes the problem by disallowing extended protocol open modes from being passed in legacy mode and implemented append functionality on the client side by adding a seek after the open.

* Properly notify block layer of sync writesJens Axboe2008-07-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fsync_buffers_list() and sync_dirty_buffer() both issue async writes and then immediately wait on them. Conceptually, that makes them sync writes and we should treat them as such so that the IO schedulers can handle them appropriately. This patch fixes a write starvation issue that Lin Ming reported, where xx is stuck for more than 2 minutes because of a large number of synchronous IO in the system: INFO: task kjournald:20558 blocked for more than 120 seconds. "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. kjournald D ffff810010820978 6712 20558 2 ffff81022ddb1d10 0000000000000046 ffff81022e7baa10 ffffffff803ba6f2 ffff81022ecd0000 ffff8101e6dc9160 ffff81022ecd0348 000000008048b6cb 0000000000000086 ffff81022c4e8d30 0000000000000000 ffffffff80247537 Call Trace: [<ffffffff803ba6f2>] kobject_get+0x12/0x17 [<ffffffff80247537>] getnstimeofday+0x2f/0x83 [<ffffffff8029c1ac>] sync_buffer+0x0/0x3f [<ffffffff8066d195>] io_schedule+0x5d/0x9f [<ffffffff8029c1e7>] sync_buffer+0x3b/0x3f [<ffffffff8066d3f0>] __wait_on_bit+0x40/0x6f [<ffffffff8029c1ac>] sync_buffer+0x0/0x3f [<ffffffff8066d48b>] out_of_line_wait_on_bit+0x6c/0x78 [<ffffffff80243909>] wake_bit_function+0x0/0x23 [<ffffffff8029e3ad>] sync_dirty_buffer+0x98/0xcb [<ffffffff8030056b>] journal_commit_transaction+0x97d/0xcb6 [<ffffffff8023a676>] lock_timer_base+0x26/0x4b [<ffffffff8030300a>] kjournald+0xc1/0x1fb [<ffffffff802438db>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e [<ffffffff80302f49>] kjournald+0x0/0x1fb [<ffffffff802437bb>] kthread+0x47/0x74 [<ffffffff8022de51>] schedule_tail+0x28/0x5d [<ffffffff8020cac8>] child_rip+0xa/0x12 [<ffffffff80243774>] kthread+0x0/0x74 [<ffffffff8020cabe>] child_rip+0x0/0x12 Lin Ming confirms that this patch fixes the issue.
