When resizing online, setup_new_group_blocks attempts to reserve a
potentially very large transaction, depending on the current filesystem
geometry. For some journal sizes, there may not be enough room for this
transaction, and the online resize will fail.
The patch below resizes & restarts the transaction as necessary while
setting up the new group, and should work with even the smallest journal.
Tested with something like:
[root@newbox ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=fsfile bs=1024 count=32768
[root@newbox ~]# mkfs.ext3 -b 1024 fsfile 16384
[root@newbox ~]# mount -o loop fsfile mnt/
[root@newbox ~]# resize2fs /dev/loop0
resize2fs 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007)
Filesystem at /dev/loop0 is mounted on /root/mnt; on-line resizing required
old desc_blocks = 1, new_desc_blocks = 1
Performing an on-line resize of /dev/loop0 to 32768 (1k) blocks.
resize2fs: No space left on device While trying to add group #2
[root@newbox ~]# dmesg | tail -n 1
JBD: resize2fs wants too many credits (258 > 256)
[root@newbox ~]#
With the below change, it works.

One more small change to extend the availability of creation of file
descriptors with FD_CLOEXEC set. Adding a new command to fcntl() requires
no new system call and the overall impact on code size if minimal.
If this patch gets accepted we will also add this change to the next
revision of the POSIX spec.
To test the patch, use the following little program. Adjust the value of
F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC appropriately.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#ifndef F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC
# define F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC 12
#endif
int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (argc > 1)
{
if (fcntl (3, F_GETFD) == 0)
{
puts ("descriptor not closed");
exit (1);
}
if (errno != EBADF)
{
puts ("error not EBADF");
exit (1);
}
exit (0);
}
int fd = fcntl (STDOUT_FILENO, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, 0);
if (fd == -1 && errno == EINVAL)
{
puts ("F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC not supported");
return 0;
}
if (fd != 3)
{
puts ("program called with descriptors other than 0,1,2");
return 1;
}
execl ("/proc/self/exe", "/proc/self/exe", "1", NULL);
puts ("execl failed");
return 1;
}

Currently arch_align_stack() is used by fs/binfmt_elf.c to randomize
stack pointer inside a page. But this happens only if ELF_PLATFORM
symbol is defined.
ELF_PLATFORM is normally set if the architecture wants ld.so to load
implementation specific libraries for optimization. And currently a
lot of architectures just yield this symbol to NULL.
This is the case for MIPS architecture where ELF_PLATFORM is NULL but
arch_align_stack() has been redefined to do stack inside page
randomization. So in this case no randomization is actually done.
This patch breaks this dependency which seems to be useless and allows
platforms such MIPS to do the randomization.

Compiling handle_percpu_irq only on uniprocessor generates an artificial
special case so a typical use like:
set_irq_chip_and_handler(irq, &some_irq_type, handle_percpu_irq);
needs to be conditionally compiled only on SMP systems as well and an
alternative UP construct is usually needed - for no good reason.
This fixes uniprocessor configurations for some MIPS SMP systems.

patch series removes such macros from the tree and transfrom old code to the

has 14 unconditional NEW_AUX_ENT entries and 2 conditional NEW_AUX_ENT

The saved_auxv array must be terminated with an AT_NULL entry. Make the

ARCH_DLINFO entries.

This adds three new functions (or in one case to be more exact makes it
always available)
tty_termios_copy_hw
Copies all the hardware settings from one termios structure to the other.
This is intended for drivers that support little or no hardware setting
tty_termios_encode_baud_rate
Allows you to set the input and output baud rate in a termios structure. A
driver is supposed to set the resulting baud rate from a request so most
will want to use this function to set the resulting input and output rates
to match the hardware values. Internally it knows about keeping Bxxx
encoding when possible to maximise compatibility.
tty_encode_baud_rate
As above but for the tty's own current termios structure
I suspect this will initially need some tweaking as it gets enabled by
driver patches over the next few mm cycles so consider this lot -mm only
for the moment so it can stabilize and end up neat before it goes to base.
I've tried not to break any obscure architectures - if you get a speed you
can't represent the code will print warnings on non updated termios systems
but not break.
Once this is merged and seems sane I've got a growing pile of driver
updates to use it - notably for USB serial drivers.

There is possible dead loop in finish_unfinished function.
In most situation, the call chain iput -> ... -> reiserfs_delete_inode ->
remove_save_link will success. But for some reason such as data
corruption, reiserfs_delete_inode fails on reiserfs_do_truncate ->
search_for_position_by_key.
Then remove_save_link won't be called. We always get the same

This patch makes shrink_dcache_sb consistent with dentry pruning policy.
On the first pass we iterate over dentry unused list and prepare some
dentries for removal.
However, since the existing code moves evicted dentries to the beginning of
the LRU it can happen that fresh dentries from other superblocks will be
inserted *before* our dentries.
This can result in significant slowdown of shrink_dcache_sb(). Moreover,
for virtual filesystems like unionfs which can call dput() during dentries
kill existing code results in O(n^2) complexity.
We observed 2 minutes shrink_dcache_sb() with only 35000 dentries.
To avoid this effects we propose to isolate sb dentries at the end
of LRU list.

Remove the old-fashioned lk201 driver under drivers/tc/ that used to be
used by the old dz.c and zs.c drivers, which is now orphan code referred to
from nowhere and does not build anymore. A modern replacement is available
as drivers/input/keyboard/lkkbd.c.
There are no plans to do anything about this piece of code and it does not
fit anywhere anymore, so it is not just a matter of maintenance or the lack
of. There are still some bits that might be added to the new lkkbd.c
driver based on the old code, and the embedded hardware documentation which
is otherwise quite hard to get hold of might be useful to keep too. Both
of these can be done separately though. RIP.

Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous to make it easier for
NFS to make use of them. There are now accessor functions that do
asynchronous constructions, a wait function to wait for construction to
complete, and a completion function for the key type to indicate completion
of construction.
Note that the construction queue is now gone. Instead, keys under
construction are linked in to the appropriate keyring in advance, and that
anyone encountering one must wait for it to be complete before they can use
it. This is done automatically for userspace.
The following auxiliary changes are also made:
(1) Key type implementation stuff is split from linux/key.h into
linux/key-type.h.
(2) AF_RXRPC provides a way to allocate null rxrpc-type keys so that AFS does
not need to call key_instantiate_and_link() directly.
(3) Adjust the debugging macros so that they're -Wformat checked even if
they are disabled, and make it so they can be enabled simply by defining
__KDEBUG to be consistent with other code of mine.
(3) Documentation.

reiserfs_invalidatepage will refuse to free pages if they have been logged
in data=journal mode, or were pinned down by a data=ordered operation. For
data=journal, this is fairly easy to trigger just with fsx-linux, and it
results in a large number of pages hanging around on the LRUs with
page->mapping == NULL.
Calling try_to_free_buffers when reiserfs decides it is done with the page
allows it to be freed earlier, and with much less VM thrashing. Lock
ordering rules mean that reiserfs can't call lock_page when it is releasing
the buffers, so TestSetPageLocked is used instead. Contention on these
pages should be rare, so it should be sufficient most of the time.

dma_cache_(wback|inv|wback_inv) were the earliest attempt on a generalized
cache managment API for I/O purposes. Originally it was basically the raw
MIPS low level cache API exported to the entire world. The API has
suffered from a lack of documentation, was not very widely used unlike it's
more modern brothers and can easily be replaced by dma_cache_sync. So
remove it rsp. turn the surviving bits back into an arch private API, as
discussed on linux-arch.

As it stands this comment is confusing, and not quite grammatical.

drivers/message/i2o/exec-osm.c:539: warning: `i2o_exec_lct_notify' defined but not used
comes when CONFIG_I2O_LCT_NOTIFY_ON_CHANGES=n, because its only callsite
is #ifdef'ed as such. So let's #ifdef the function definition also. Also
move the definition to before the callsite, to get rid of forward prototype.
