2007-12-21[XFS] Initialise current offset in xfs_file_readdir correctlyLachlan McIlroy
After reading the directory contents into the temporary buffer, we grab each dirent and pass it to filldir witht eh current offset of the dirent. The current offset was not being set for the first dirent in the temporary buffer, which coul dresult in bad offsets being set in the f_pos field result in looping and duplicate entries being returned from readdir.

2007-12-21[XFS] Fix mknod regressionChristoph Hellwig
This was broken by my '[XFS] simplify xfs_create/mknod/symlink prototype', which assigned the re-shuffled ondisk dev_t back to the rdev variable in xfs_vn_mknod. Because of that i_rdev is set to the ondisk dev_t instead of the linux dev_t later down the function. Fortunately the fix for it is trivial: we can just remove the assignment because xfs_revalidate_inode has done the proper job before unlocking the inode.

2007-12-21x86: fix die() to not be preemptibleIngo Molnar
Andrew "Eagle Eye" Morton noticed that we use raw_local_save_flags() instead of raw_local_irq_save(flags) in die(). This allows the preemption of oopsing contexts - which is highly undesirable. It also causes CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT to complain, as reported by Miles Lane. this bug was introduced via: commit 39743c9ef717fd4f2b5583f010115c5f2482b8ae Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Date: Fri Oct 19 20:35:03 2007 +0200 x86: use raw locks during oopses - spin_lock_irqsave(&die.lock, flags); + __raw_spin_lock(&die.lock); + raw_local_save_flags(flags); that is not a correct open-coding of spin_lock_irqsave(): both the ordering is wrong (irqs should be disabled _first_), and the wrong flags-saving API was used.

2007-12-20dm crypt: use bio_add_pageMilan Broz
Fix possible max_phys_segments violation in cloned dm-crypt bio. In write operation dm-crypt needs to allocate new bio request and run crypto operation on this clone. Cloned request has always the same size, but number of physical segments can be increased and violate max_phys_segments restriction. This can lead to data corruption and serious hardware malfunction. This was observed when using XFS over dm-crypt and at least two HBA controller drivers (arcmsr, cciss) recently. Fix it by using bio_add_page() call (which tests for other restrictions too) instead of constructing own biovec. All versions of dm-crypt are affected by this bug.

2007-12-20dm: table detect io beyond deviceJun'ichi Nomura
This patch fixes a panic on shrinking a DM device if there is outstanding I/O to the part of the device that is being removed. (Normally this doesn't happen - a filesystem would be resized first, for example.) The bug is that __clone_and_map() assumes dm_table_find_target() always returns a valid pointer. It may fail if a bio arrives from the block layer but its target sector is no longer included in the DM btree. This patch appends an empty entry to table->targets[] which will be returned by a lookup beyond the end of the device. After calling dm_table_find_target(), __clone_and_map() and target_message() check for this condition using dm_target_is_valid(). Sample test script to trigger oops:

2007-12-20debug: add end-of-oops markerArjan van de Ven
Right now it's nearly impossible for parsers that collect kernel crashes from logs or emails (such as www.kerneloops.org) to detect the end-of-oops condition. In addition, it's not currently possible to detect whether or not 2 oopses that look alike are actually the same oops reported twice, or are truly two unique oopses. This patch adds an end-of-oops marker, and makes the end marker include a very simple 64-bit random ID to be able to detect duplicate reports. Normally, this ID is calculated as a late_initcall() (in the hope that at that time there is enough entropy to get a unique enough ID); however for early oopses the oops_exit() function needs to generate the ID on the fly. We do this all at the _end_ of an oops printout, so this does not impact our ability to get the most important portions of a crash out to the console first. [ Sidenote: the already existing oopses-since-bootup counter we print during crashes serves as the differentiator between multiple oopses that trigger during the same bootup. ] Tested on 32-bit and 64-bit x86. Artificially injected very early crashes as well, as expected they result in this constant ID after multiple bootups: ---[ end trace ca143223eefdc828 ]--- ---[ end trace ca143223eefdc828 ]--- because the random pools are still all zero. But it all still works fine and causes no additional problems (which is the main goal of instrumentation code).

2007-12-19Do dirty page accounting when removing a page from the page cacheLinus Torvalds
Krzysztof Oledzki noticed a dirty page accounting leak on some of his machines, causing the machine to eventually lock up when the kernel decided that there was too much dirty data, but nobody could actually write anything out to fix it. The culprit turns out to be filesystems (cough ext3 with data=journal cough) that re-dirty the page when the "->invalidatepage()" callback is called. Fix it up by doing a final dirty page accounting check when we actually remove the page from the page cache.

2007-12-18[IA64] Avoid unnecessary TLB flushes when allocating memoryde Dinechin, Christophe (Integrity VM)
Improve performance of memory allocations on ia64 by avoiding a global TLB purge to purge a single page from the file cache. This happens whenever we evict a page from the buffer cache to make room for some other allocation. Test case: Run 'find /usr -type f | xargs cat > /dev/null' in the background to fill the buffer cache, then run something that uses memory, e.g. 'gmake -j50 install'. Instrumentation showed that the number of global TLB purges went from a few millions down to about 170 over a 12 hours run of the above. The performance impact is particularly noticeable under virtualization, because a virtual TLB is generally both larger and slower to purge than a physical one.

Looks like the changes I made and combined with Christoph's lost a line somewhere when I was merging it all.

2007-12-18[SCSI] sym53c8xx: fix "irq X: nobody cared" regressionTony Battersby
The patch described by the following excerpt from ChangeLog-2.6.24-rc1 eventually causes a "irq X: nobody cared" error after a while: commit 99c9e0a1d6cfe1ba1169a7a81435ee85bc00e4a1 Author: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> Date: Fri Oct 5 15:55:12 2007 -0400 [SCSI] sym53c8xx: Make interrupt handler capable of returning IRQ_NONE After this happens, the kernel disables the IRQ, causing the SCSI card to stop working until the next reboot. The problem is caused by the interrupt handler returning IRQ_NONE instead of IRQ_HANDLED after handling an interrupt-on-the-fly (INTF) condition. The following patch fixes the problem.

2007-12-18[SCSI] dpt_i2o: driver is only 32 bit so don't set 64 bit DMA maskJames Bottomley
This fixes a potential corruption bug where the truncation would cause reading or writing to the wrong memory area on machines with >4GB of main memory. Cc: Stable Kernel Tree <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>
2007-12-18[SCSI] sym53c8xx: fix free_irq() regressionTony Battersby
The following commit changed the pointer passed to request_irq(), but failed to change the pointer passed to free_irq(): commit 99c9e0a1d6cfe1ba1169a7a81435ee85bc00e4a1 Author: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> Date: Fri Oct 5 15:55:12 2007 -0400 [SCSI] sym53c8xx: Make interrupt handler capable of returning IRQ_NONE ... The result is that free_irq() doesn't actually take any action. This patch fixes it.
