* [PATCH] Add 32-bit compatibility for NFSv4 mountDavid Howells2005-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds 32-bit compatibility for mounting an NFSv4 mount on a 64-bit kernel (such as happens with PPC64). The problem is that the mount data for the NFS4 mount process includes auxilliary data pointers, probably because the NFS4 mount data may conceivably exceed PAGE_SIZE in size - thus breaking against the hard limit imposed by sys_mount().

* [PATCH] revert fs/char_dev.c CONFIG_BASE_FULL changeDavid Brownell2005-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts a fs/char_dev.c patch that was merged into BK on March 3. The problem is that it breaks things ... __register_chrdev_region() has a block of code, commented "temporary" for over two years now, which fails rudely during PCMCIA initialization or other register_chrdev() calls, because it doesn't "degrade to linked list". This keeps whole subsystems from working. A real fix to that "temporary" code should be possible, using some better scheme to allocate major numbers, but it's not something I want to spend time on just now.

* [PATCH] jbd dirty buffer leak fixakpm@osdl.org2005-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes the lots-of-fsx-linux-instances-cause-a-slow-leak bug. It's been there since 2.6.6, caused by: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.5/2.6.5-mm4/broken-out/jbd-move-locked-buffers.patch That patch moves under-writeout ordered-data buffers onto a separate journal list during commit. It took out the old code which was based on a single list. The old code (necessarily) had logic which would restart I/O against buffers which had been redirtied while they were on the committing transaction's t_sync_datalist list. The new code only writes buffers once, ignoring redirtyings by a later transaction, which is good. But over on the truncate side of things, in journal_unmap_buffer(), we're treating buffers on the t_locked_list as inviolable things which belong to the committing transaction, and we just leave them alone during concurrent truncate-vs-commit. The net effect is that when truncate tries to invalidate a page whose buffers are on t_locked_list and have been redirtied, journal_unmap_buffer() just leaves those buffers alone. truncate will remove the page from its mapping and we end up with an anonymous clean page with dirty buffers, which is an illegal state for a page. The JBD commit will not clean those buffers as they are removed from t_locked_list. The VM (try_to_free_buffers) cannot reclaim these pages. The patch teaches journal_unmap_buffer() about buffers which are on the committing transaction's t_locked_list. These buffers have been written and I/O has completed. We can take them off the transaction and undirty them within the context of journal_invalidatepage()->journal_unmap_buffer(). Acked-by: "Stephen C.

* [PATCH] Direct IO async short read fixDaniel McNeil2005-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The direct I/O code is mapping the read request to the file system block. If the file size was not on a block boundary, the result would show the the read reading past EOF. This was only happening for the AIO case. The non-AIO case truncates the result to match file size (in direct_io_worker). This patch does the same thing for the AIO case, it truncates the result to match the file size if the read reads past EOF. When I/O completes the result can be truncated to match the file size without using i_size_read(), thus the aio result now matches the number of bytes read to the end of file.

* [PATCH] ext2 corruption - regression between 2.6.9 and 2.6.10Bernard Blackham2005-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Whilst trying to stress test a Promise SX8 card, we stumbled across some nasty filesystem corruption in ext2. Our tests involved creating an ext2 partition, mounting, running several concurrent fsx's over it, umounting, and fsck'ing, all scripted[1]. The fsck would always return with errors. This regression was traced back to a change between 2.6.9 and 2.6.10, which moves the functionality of ext2_put_inode into ext2_clear_inode. The attached patch reverses this change, and eliminated the source of corruption. Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> said: I think his patch for ext2 is correct. The corruption on ext3 is not the same issue he saw on ext2. I believe that's the race between discard reservation and reservation in-use that we already fixed it in 2.6.12- rc1. For the problem related to ext2, at the time when we design reservation for ext3, we decide we only need to discard the reservation at the last file close, so we have ext3_discard_reservation on iput_final- >ext3_clear_inode. The ext2 handle discard preallocation differently at that time, it discard the preallocation at each iput(), not in input_final(), so we think it's unnecessary to thrash it so frequently, and the right thing to do, as we did for ext3 reservation, discard preallocation on last iput(). So we moved the ext2_discard_preallocation from ext2_put_inode(0 to ext2_clear_inode. Since ext2 preallocation is doing pre-allocation on disk, so it is possible that at the unmount time, someone is still hold the reference of the inode, so the preallocation for a file is not discard yet, so we still mark those blocks allocated on disk, while they are not actually in the inode's block map, so fsck will catch/fix that error later. This is not a issue for ext3, as ext3 reservation(pre-allocation) is done in memory. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] AYSNC IO using singals other than SIGIOBharath Ramesh2005-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A question on sigwaitinfo based IO mechanism in multithreaded applications. I am trying to use RT signals to notify me of IO events using RT signals instead of SIGIO in a multithreaded applications. I noticed that there was some discussion on lkml during november 1999 with the subject of the discussion as "Signal driven IO". In the thread I noticed that RT signals were being delivered to the worker thread. I am running 2.6.10 kernel and I am trying to use the very same mechanism and I find that only SIGIO being propogated to the worker threads and RT signals only being propogated to the main thread and not the worker threads where I actually want them to be propogated too. On further inspection I found that the following patch which I have attached solves the problem. I am not sure if this is a bug or feature in the kernel. Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> said: This relates only to fcntl F_SETSIG, which is a Linux extension. So there is no POSIX issue. When changing various things like the normal SIGIO signalling to do group signals, I was concerned strictly with the POSIX semantics and generally avoided touching things in the domain of Linux inventions. That's why I didn't change this when I changed the call right next to it. There is no reason I can see that F_SETSIG-requested signals shouldn't use a group signal like normal SIGIO does. I'm happy to ACK this patch, there is nothing wrong with its change to the semantics in my book. But neither POSIX nor I care a whit what F_SETSIG does.

* [PATCH] ppc64: Improve mapping of vDSOBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reworks the way the ppc64 is mapped in user memory by the kernel to make it more robust against possible collisions with executable segments. Instead of just whacking a VMA at 1Mb, I now use get_unmapped_area() with a hint, and I moved the mapping of the vDSO to after the mapping of the various ELF segments and of the interpreter, so that conflicts get caught properly (it still has to be before create_elf_tables since the later will fill the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR with the proper address). While I was at it, I also changed the 32 and 64 bits vDSO's to link at their "natural" address of 1Mb instead of 0. This is the address where they are normally mapped in absence of conflict. By doing so, it should be possible to properly prelink one it's been verified to work on glibc.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
