2005-07-12[PATCH] reiserfs: fix up case where indent misreads the codeJeff Mahoney
indent(1) doesn't know how to handle the "do not compile" error. It results in the item_ops array declaration being indented a tab stop in when it should not be. This patch replaces it with a #error that describes why it's failing. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-07-12[PATCH] cdev: cdev_put oopsBrian King
While fixing an oops in the st driver in a dirty release path, I encountered an oops in cdev_put for cdevs allocated using cdev_alloc. If cdev_del is called when the cdev kobject still has an open user, when the last cdev_put is called, the cdev_put will call kobject_put, which will end up ultimately releasing the cdev in cdev_dynamic_release. Patch fixes the oops by preventing cdev_put from accessing freed memory.

2005-07-12[PATCH] reset real_timer target on exec leader changeRoland McGrath
When a noninitial thread does exec, it becomes the new group leader. If there is a ITIMER_REAL timer running, it points at the old group leader and when it fires it can follow a stale pointer. The timer data needs to be reset to point at the exec'ing thread that is becoming the group leader. This has to synchronize with any concurrent firing of the timer to make sure that it_real_fn can never run when the data points to a thread that might have been reaped already.

2005-07-12[PATCH] bugfix: two read_inode() calls without clear_inode() call betweenArtem B. Bityuckiy
Bug symptoms ~~~~~~~~~~~~ For the same inode VFS calls read_inode() twice and doesn't call clear_inode() between the two read_inode() invocations. Bug description ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Suppose we have an inode which has zero reference count but is still in the inode cache. Suppose kswapd invokes shrink_icache_memory() to free some RAM. In prune_icache() inodes are removed from i_hash. prune_icache () is then going to call clear_inode(), but drops the inode_lock spinlock before this. If in this moment another task calls iget() for an inode which was just removed from i_hash by prune_icache(), then iget() invokes read_inode() for this inode, because it is *already removed* from i_hash. The end result is: we call iget(#N) then iput(#N); inode #N has zero i_count now and is in the inode cache; kswapd starts. kswapd removes the inode #N from i_hash ans is preempted; we call iget(#N) again; read_inode() is invoked as the result; but we expect clear_inode() before. Fix ~~~~~~~ To fix the bug I remove inodes from i_hash later, when clear_inode() is actually called. I remove them from i_hash under spinlock protection. Since the i_state is set to I_FREEING, it is safe to do this. The others will sleep waiting for the inode state change. I also postpone removing inodes from i_sb_list. It is not compulsory to do so but I do it for readability reasons. Inodes are added/removed to the lists together everywhere in the code and there is no point to change this rule. This is harmless because the only user of i_sb_list which somehow may interfere with me (invalidate_list()) is excluded by the iprune_sem mutex. The same race is possible in invalidate_list() so I do the same for it.

2005-07-12[PATCH] __wait_on_freeing_inode fixMiklos Szeredi
This patch fixes queer behavior in __wait_on_freeing_inode(). If I_LOCK was not set it called yield(), effectively busy waiting for the removal of the inode from the hash. This change was introduced within "[PATCH] eliminate inode waitqueue hashtable" Changeset 1.1938.166.16 last october by wli. The solution is to restore the old behavior, of unconditionally waiting on the waitqueue. It doesn't matter if I_LOCK is not set initally, the task will go to sleep, and wake up when wake_up_inode() is called from generic_delete_inode() after removing the inode from the hash chain. Comment is also updated to better reflect current behavior. This condition is very hard to trigger normally (simultaneous clear_inode() with iget()) so probably only heavy stress testing can reveal any change of behavior.

2005-07-07[PATCH] nfsd4: relax new lock seqid checkNeilBrown
We're insisting that the lock sequence id field passed in the open_to_lockowner struct always be zero. This is probably thanks to the sentence in rfc3530: "The first request issued for any given lock_owner is issued with a sequence number of zero." But there doesn't seem to be any problem with allowing initial sequence numbers other than zero. And currently this is causing lock reclaims from the Linux client to fail. In the spirit of "be liberal in what you accept, conservative in what you send", we'll relax the check (and patch the Linux client as well). Signed-off-by: J.

2005-07-07[PATCH] nfsd4: fix open_reclaim seqidNeilBrown
The sequence number we store in the sequence id is the last one we received from the client. So on the next operation we'll check that the client gives us the next higher number. We increment sequence id's at the last moment, in encode, so that we're sure of knowing the right error return. (The decision to increment the sequence id depends on the exact error returned.) However on the *first* use of a sequence number, if we set the sequence number to the one received from the client and then let the increment happen on encode, we'll be left with a sequence number one to high. For that reason, ENCODE_SEQID_OP_TAIL only increments the sequence id on *confirmed* stateowners. This creates a problem for open reclaims, which are confirmed on first use. Therefore the open reclaim code, as a special exception, *decrements* the sequence id, cancelling out the undesired increment on encode. But this prevents the sequence id from ever being incremented in the case where multiple reclaims are sent with the same openowner. Yuch! We could add another exception to the open reclaim code, decrementing the sequence id only if this is the first use of the open owner. But it's simpler by far to modify the meaning of the op_seqid field: instead of representing the previous value sent by the client, we take op_seqid, after encoding, to represent the *next* sequence id that we expect from the client. This eliminates the need for special-case handling of the first use of a stateowner. Signed-off-by: J.

2005-07-07[PATCH] nfsd4: stop overusing RECLAIM_BADNeilBrown
A misreading of the spec lead us to convert all errors on open and lock reclaims to RECLAIM_BAD. This causes problems--for example, a reboot within the grace period could lead to reclaims with stale stateid's, and we'd like to return STALE errors in those cases. What rfc3530 actually says about RECLAIM_BAD: "The reclaim provided by the client does not match any of the server's state consistency checks and is bad." I'm assuming that "state consistency checks" refers to checks for consistency with the state recorded to stable storage, and that the error should be reserved for that case. Signed-off-by: J.

2005-07-07[PATCH] namespace.c: fix race in mark_mounts_for_expiry()Miklos Szeredi
This patch fixes a race found by Ram in mark_mounts_for_expiry() in fs/namespace.c. The bug can only be triggered with simultaneous exiting of a process having a private namespace, and expiry of a mount from within that namespace. It's practically impossible to trigger, and I haven't even tried. But still, a bug is a bug. The race happens when put_namespace() is called by another task, while mark_mounts_for_expiry() is between atomic_read() and get_namespace(). In that case get_namespace() will be called on an already dead namespace with unforeseeable results. The solution was suggested by Al Viro, with his own words: Instead of screwing with atomic_read() in there, why don't we simply do the following: a) atomic_dec_and_lock() in put_namespace() b) __put_namespace() called without dropping lock c) the first thing done by __put_namespace would be struct vfsmount *root = namespace->root; namespace->root = NULL; spin_unlock(...); .... umount_tree(root); ... d) check in mark_... would be simply namespace && namespace->root. And we are all set; no screwing around with atomic_read(), no magic at all. Dying namespace gets NULL ->root. All changes of ->root happen under spinlock. If under a spinlock we see non-NULL ->mnt_namespace, it won't be freed until we drop the lock (we will set ->mnt_namespace to NULL under that lock before we get to freeing namespace). If under a spinlock we see non-NULL ->mnt_namespace and ->mnt_namespace->root, we can grab a reference to namespace and be sure that it won't go away.

2005-07-07[PATCH] namespace.c: fix mnt_namespace clearingMiklos Szeredi
This patch clears mnt_namespace on unmount. Not clearing mnt_namespace has two effects: 1) It is possible to attach a new mount to a detached mount, because check_mnt() returns true. This means, that when no other references to the detached mount remain, it still can't be freed. This causes a resource leak, and possibly un-removable modules. 2) If mnt_namespace is dereferenced (only in mark_mounts_for_expiry()) after the namspace has been freed, it can cause an Oops, memory corruption, etc. 1) has been tested before and after the patch, 2) is only speculation.

2005-07-07[PATCH] uml: restore hppfs supportPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Some time ago a trivial patch broke HPPFS (one var became a pointer, not all uses were updated). It wasn't fixed at that time because not very used, now it's been requested so I've fixed this, and it has been tested positively (at least partially).

2005-07-07[PATCH] move ioprio syscalls into syscalls.hAnton Blanchard
- Make ioprio syscalls return long, like set/getpriority syscalls. - Move function prototypes into syscalls.h so we can pick them up in the 32/64bit compat code.

2005-07-07[PATCH] export generic_drop_inode() to modulesMark Fasheh
OCFS2 wants to mark an inode which has been orphaned by another node so that during final iput it takes the correct path through the VFS and can pass through the OCFS2 delete_inode callback. Since i_nlink can get out of date with other nodes, the best way I see to accomplish this is by clearing i_nlink on those inodes at drop_inode time. Other than this small amount of work, nothing different needs to happen, so I think it would be cleanest to be able to just call generic_drop_inode at the end of the OCFS2 drop_inode callback.
