2006-09-29[PATCH] Fix unserialized task->files changingKirill Korotaev
Fixed race on put_files_struct on exec with proc. Restoring files on current on error path may lead to proc having a pointer to already kfree-d files_struct. ->files changing at exit.c and khtread.c are safe as exit_files() makes all things under lock.

2006-09-29[PATCH] tty locking on resizeAlan Cox
The current kernel serializes console resizes but does not serialize the resize against the tty structure updates. This means that while two parallel resizes cannot mess up the console you can get incorrect results reported. Secondly while doing this I added vc_lock_resize() to lock and resize the console. This leaves all knowledge of the console_sem in the vt/console driver and kicks it out of the tty layer, which is good Thirdly while doing this I decided I couldn't stand "disallocate" any longer so I switched it to "deallocate".

2006-09-29[PATCH] fs.h: ifdef security fieldsAlexey Dobriyan
[assuming BSD security levels are deleted] The only user of i_security, f_security, s_security fields is SELinux, however, quite a few security modules are trying to get into kernel. So, wrap them under CONFIG_SECURITY. Adding config option for each security field is likely an overkill. Following Stephen Smalley's suggestion, i_security initialization is moved to security_inode_alloc() to not clutter core code with ifdefs and make alloc_inode() codepath tiny little bit smaller and faster. The user of (highly greppable) struct fown_struct::security field is still to be found. I've checked every "fown_struct" and every "f_owner" occurence. Additionally it's removal doesn't break i386 allmodconfig build. struct inode, struct file, struct super_block, struct fown_struct become smaller. P.S. Combined with two reiserfs inode shrinking patches sent to linux-fsdevel, I can finally suck 12 reiserfs inodes into one page. /proc/slabinfo -ext2_inode_cache 388 10 +ext2_inode_cache 384 10 -inode_cache 280 14 +inode_cache 276 14 -proc_inode_cache 296 13 +proc_inode_cache 292 13 -reiser_inode_cache 336 11 +reiser_inode_cache 332 12 <= -shmem_inode_cache 372 10 +shmem_inode_cache 368 10 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Cc: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-09-29[PATCH] Fix reiserfs latencies caused by data=orderedChris Mason
ReiserFS does periodic cleanup of old transactions in order to limit the length of time a journal replay may take after a crash. Sometimes, writing metadata from an old (already committed) transaction may require committing a newer transaction, which also requires writing all data=ordered buffers. This can cause very long stalls on journal_begin. This patch makes sure new transactions will not need to be committed before trying a periodic reclaim of an old transaction. It is low risk because if a bad decision is made, it just means a slightly longer journal replay after a crash.

2006-09-29[PATCH] clean up and remove some extra spinlocks from rtmutexSteven Rostedt
Oleg brought up some interesting points about grabbing the pi_lock for some protections. In this discussion, I realized that there are some places that the pi_lock is being grabbed when it really wasn't necessary. Also this patch does a little bit of clean up. This patch basically does three things: 1) renames the "boost" variable to "chain_walk". Since it is used in the debugging case when it isn't going to be boosted. It better describes what the test is going to do if it succeeds. 2) moves get_task_struct to just before the unlocking of the wait_lock. This removes duplicate code, and makes it a little easier to read. The owner wont go away while either the pi_lock or the wait_lock are held. 3) removes the pi_locking and owner blocked checking completely from the debugging case. This is because the grabbing the lock and doing the check, then releasing the lock is just so full of races. It's just as good to go ahead and call the pi_chain_walk function, since after releasing the lock the owner can then block anyway, and we would have missed that. For the debug case, we really do want to do the chain walk to test for deadlocks anyway.

2006-09-29[PATCH] fix Intel RNG detectionJan Beulich
Previously, since determination whether there was an Intel random number generator was based on a single bit, on systems with a matching bridge device but without a firmware hub, there was a 50% chance that the code would incorrectly decide that the system had an RNG. This patch adds detection of the firmware hub to better qualify the existence of an RNG. There is one issue with the patch: I was unable to determine the LPC equivalent for the PCI bridge 8086:2430 (since the old code didn't care about which of the many devices provided by the ICH/ESB it was chose to use the PCI bridge device, but the FWH settings live in the LPC device, so the device list needed to be changed).

2006-09-29[PATCH] mount udf UDF_PART_FLAG_READ_ONLY partitions with MS_RDONLYEric Sandeen
There's a bug where a UDF_PART_FLAG_READ_ONLY udf partition gets mounted read-write, then subsequent problems happen; files seem to be able to be removed, but file creation results in EIO or worse, oops. EIO is coming from udf_new_block(), which returns EIO if the right flags aren't set; only UDF_PART_FLAG_READ_ONLY is set in this case. We probably s hould not have gotten this far...

2006-09-29[PATCH] ignore partition table on disks with AIX labelOlaf Hering
The on-disk data structures from AIX are not known, also the filesystem layout is not known. There is a msdos partition signature at the end of the first block, and the kernel recognizes 3 small (and overlapping) partitions. But they are not usable. Maybe the firmware uses it to find the bootloader for AIX, but AIX boots also if the first block is cleared. This is the content of the partition table: # dd if=/dev/sdb count=$(( 4 * 16 )) bs=1 skip=$(( 0x1be )) | xxd 0000000: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ 0000010: 80ff ffff 41ff ffff 1b11 0000 381b 0000 ....A.......8... 0000020: 00ff ffff 41ff ffff 0211 0000 1900 0000 ....A........... 0000030: 80ff ffff 41ff ffff 1b11 0000 381b 0000 ....A.......8... Handle the whole disk as empty disk. This fixes also YaST which compares the output from parted (and formerly fdisk) with /proc/partitions. fdisk recognizes the AIX label since a long time, SuSE has a patch for parted to handle the disk label as unknown. dmesg will look like this: sda: [AIX] unknown partition table Tested on an IBM B50 with AIX V4.3.3.

2006-09-29[PATCH] hugetlbfs: add lock annotation to hugetlbfs_forget_inode()Josh Triplett
hugetlbfs_forget_inode releases inode_lock. Add a lock annotation to this function so that sparse can check callers for lock pairing, and so that sparse will not complain about this functions since it intentionally uses the lock in this manner.

2006-09-29[PATCH] efi: add lock annotations for efi_call_phys_prelog and ↵Josh Triplett
efi_call_phys_epilog The functions efi_call_phys_prelog and efi_call_phys_epilog in arch/i386/kernel/efi.c wrap the spinlock efi_rt_lock: efi_call_phys_prelog returns with the lock held, and efi_call_phys_epilog releases the lock without acquiring it. Add lock annotations to these two functions so that sparse can check callers for lock pairing, and so that sparse will not complain about these functions since they intentionally use locks in this manner.

2006-09-29[PATCH] use gcc -O1 in fs/reiserfs only for ancient gcc versionsOlaf Hering
Only compile with -O1 if the (very old) compiler is broken. We use reiserfs alot since SLES9 on ppc64, and it was never seen with gcc33. Assume the broken gcc is gcc-3.4 or older.
