2009-06-10nilfs2: return EBUSY against delete request on snapshotRyusuke Konishi
This helps userland programs like the rmcp command to distinguish error codes returned against a checkpoint removal request. Previously -EPERM was returned, and not discriminable from real permission errors. This also allows removal of the latest checkpoint because the deletion leads to create a new checkpoint, and thus it's harmless for the filesystem.

2009-06-10nilfs2: modify list of unsupported features in caveatsRyusuke Konishi
This clarifies missing features of nilfs as a regular filesystem. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-06-10nilfs2: enable sync_page methodRyusuke Konishi
This adds a missing sync_page method which unplugs bio requests when waiting for page locks. This will improve read performance of nilfs. Here is a measurement result using dd command. Without this patch: # mount -t nilfs2 /dev/sde1 /test # dd if=/test/aaa of=/dev/null bs=512k 1024+0 records in 1024+0 records out 536870912 bytes (537 MB) copied, 6.00688 seconds, 89.4 MB/s With this patch: # mount -t nilfs2 /dev/sde1 /test # dd if=/test/aaa of=/dev/null bs=512k 1024+0 records in 1024+0 records out 536870912 bytes (537 MB) copied, 3.54998 seconds, 151 MB/s Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-06-10nilfs2: set bio unplug flag for the last bio in segmentRyusuke Konishi
This sets BIO_RW_UNPLUG flag on the last bio of each segment during write. The last bio should be unplugged immediately because the caller waits for the completion after the submission. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-06-10nilfs2: allow future expansion of metadata read out via get info ioctlRyusuke Konishi
Nilfs has some ioctl commands to read out metadata from meta data files: - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO for checkpoint file, - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUINFO for segment usage file, and - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_VINFO for Disk Address Transalation (DAT) file, respectively. Every routine on these metadata files is implemented so that it allows future expansion of on-disk format. But, the above ioctl commands do not support expansion even though nilfs_argv structure can handle arbitrary size for data exchanged via ioctl. This allows future expansion of the following structures which give basic format of the "get information" ioctls: - struct nilfs_cpinfo - struct nilfs_suinfo - struct nilfs_vinfo So, this introduces forward compatility of such ioctl commands. In this patch, a sanity check in nilfs_ioctl_get_info() function is changed to accept larger data structure [1], and metadata read routines are rewritten so that they become compatible for larger structures; the routines will just ignore the remaining fields which the current version of nilfs doesn't know. [1] The ioctl function already has another upper limit (PAGE_SIZE against a structure, which appears in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy function), and this will not cause security problem.

2009-06-10NILFS2: Pagecache usage optimization on NILFS2Hisashi Hifumi
Hi, I introduced "is_partially_uptodate" aops for NILFS2. A page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate on pagesize != blocksize environment. This aops checks that all buffers which correspond to a part of a file that we want to read are uptodate. If so, we do not have to issue actual read IO to HDD even if a page is not uptodate because the portion we want to read are uptodate. "block_is_partially_uptodate" function is already used by ext2/3/4. With the following patch random read/write mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads can be optimized and we can get performance improvement. I did a performance test using the sysbench. 1 --file-block-size=8K --file-total-size=2G --file-test-mode=rndrw --file-fsync-freq=0 --fil e-rw-ratio=1 run -2.6.30-rc5 Test execution summary: total time: 151.2907s total number of events: 200000 total time taken by event execution: 2409.8387 per-request statistics: min: 0.0000s avg: 0.0120s max: 0.9306s approx. 95 percentile: 0.0439s Threads fairness: events (avg/stddev): 12500.0000/238.52 execution time (avg/stddev): 150.6149/0.01 -2.6.30-rc5-patched Test execution summary: total time: 140.8828s total number of events: 200000 total time taken by event execution: 2240.8577 per-request statistics: min: 0.0000s avg: 0.0112s max: 0.8750s approx. 95 percentile: 0.0418s Threads fairness: events (avg/stddev): 12500.0000/218.43 execution time (avg/stddev): 140.0536/0.01 arch: ia64 pagesize: 16k Thanks.

2009-06-10nilfs2: remove bmap pointer operationsRyusuke Konishi
Previously, the bmap codes of nilfs used three types of function tables. The abuse of indirect function calls decreased source readability and suffered many indirect jumps which would confuse branch prediction of processors. This eliminates one type of the function tables, nilfs_bmap_ptr_operations, which was used to dispatch low level pointer operations of the nilfs bmap. This adds a new integer variable "b_ptr_type" to nilfs_bmap struct, and uses the value to select the pointer operations. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

The b_high field was never used, and the b_low field stores a constant value which can be determined by whether the inode uses btree for block mapping or not.

2009-06-10nilfs2: remove header file for segment list operationsRyusuke Konishi
This will eliminate obsolete list operations of nilfs_segment_entry structure which has been used to handle mutiple segment numbers.

2009-06-09char: mxser, fix ISA board lookupPeter Botha
There's a bug in the mxser kernel module that still appears in the 2.6.29.4 kernel. mxser_get_ISA_conf takes a ioaddress as its first argument, by passing the not of the ioaddr, you're effectively passing 0 which means it won't be able to talk to an ISA card. I have tested this, and removing the ! fixes the problem.

2009-06-09jbd: fix race in buffer processing in commit codeJan Kara
In commit code, we scan buffers attached to a transaction. During this scan, we sometimes have to drop j_list_lock and then we recheck whether the journal buffer head didn't get freed by journal_try_to_free_buffers(). But checking for buffer_jbd(bh) isn't enough because a new journal head could get attached to our buffer head. So add a check whether the journal head remained the same and whether it's still at the same transaction and list. This is a nasty bug and can cause problems like memory corruption (use after free) or trigger various assertions in JBD code (observed).

2009-06-09autofs4: remove hashed check in validate_wait()Ian Kent
The recent ->lookup() deadlock correction required the directory inode mutex to be dropped while waiting for expire completion. We were concerned about side effects from this change and one has been identified. I saw several error messages. They cause autofs to become quite confused and don't really point to the actual problem. Things like: handle_packet_missing_direct:1376: can't find map entry for (43,1827932) which is usually totally fatal (although in this case it wouldn't be except that I treat is as such because it normally is). do_mount_direct: direct trigger not valid or already mounted /test/nested/g3c/s1/ss1 which is recoverable, however if this problem is at play it can cause autofs to become quite confused as to the dependencies in the mount tree because mount triggers end up mounted multiple times. It's hard to accurately check for this over mounting case and automount shouldn't need to if the kernel module is doing its job. There was one other message, similar in consequence of this last one but I can't locate a log example just now. When checking if a mount has already completed prior to adding a new mount request to the wait queue we check if the dentry is hashed and, if so, if it is a mount point. But, if a mount successfully completed while we slept on the wait queue mutex the dentry must exist for the mount to have completed so the test is not really needed. Mounts can also be done on top of a global root dentry, so for the above case, where a mount request completes and the wait queue entry has already been removed, the hashed test returning false can cause an incorrect callback to the daemon. Also, d_mountpoint() is not sufficient to check if a mount has completed for the multi-mount case when we don't have a real mount at the base of the tree.

2009-06-09r8169: fix crash when large packets are receivedEric Dumazet
Michael Tokarev reported receiving a large packet could crash a machine with RTL8169 NIC. ( original thread at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/8/192 ) Problem is this driver tells that NIC frames up to 16383 bytes can be received but provides skb to rx ring allocated with smaller sizes (1536 bytes in case standard 1500 bytes MTU is used) When a frame larger than what was allocated by driver is received, dma transfert can occurs past the end of buffer and corrupt kernel memory. Fix is to tell to NIC what is the maximum size a frame can be. This bug is very old, (before git introduction, linux-2.6.10), and should be backported to stable versions.

2009-06-09md/raid5 - avoid deadlocks in get_active_stripe during reshapeNeilBrown
md has functionality to 'quiesce' and array so that all pending IO completed and no new IO starts. This is used to achieve a stable state before making internal changes. Currently this quiescing applies equally to normal IO, resync IO, and reshape IO. However there is a problem with applying it to reshape IO. Reshape can have multiple 'stripe_heads' that must be active together. If the quiesce come between allocating the first and the last of such a collection, then we deadlock, as the last will not be allocated until the quiesce is lifted, the quiesce will not be lifted until the first (which has been allocated) gets used, and that first cannot be used until the last is allocated. It is not necessary to inhibit reshape IO when a quiesce is requested. Those places in the code that require a full quiesce will ensure the reshape thread is not running at all. So allow reshape requests to get access to new stripe_heads without being blocked by a 'quiesce'. This only affects in-place reshapes (i.e. where the array does not grow or shrink) and these are only newly supported. So this patch is not needed in earlier kernels.

2009-06-09md/raid5: use conf->raid_disks in preference to mddev->raid_diskNeilBrown
mddev->raid_disks can be changed and any time by a request from user-space. It is a suggestion as to what number of raid_disks is desired. conf->raid_disks can only be changed by the raid5 module with suitable locks in place. It is a statement as to the current number of raid_disks. There are two places where the latter should be used, but the former is used. This can lead to a crash when reshaping an array. This patch changes to mddev-> to conf-> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-06-08async: Fix lack of boot-time console due to insufficient synchronizationLinus Torvalds
Our async work synchronization was broken by "async: make sure independent async domains can't accidentally entangle" (commit d5a877e8dd409d8c702986d06485c374b705d340), because it would report the wrong lowest active async ID when there was both running and pending async work. This caused things like no being able to read the root filesystem, resulting in missing console devices and inability to run 'init', causing a boot-time panic. This fixes it by properly returning the lowest pending async ID: if there is any running async work, that will have a lower ID than any pending work, and we should _not_ look at the pending work list. There were alternative patches from Jaswinder and James, but this one also cleans up the code by removing the pointless 'ret' variable and the unnecesary testing for an empty list around 'for_each_entry()' (if the list is empty, the for_each_entry() thing just won't execute).

2009-06-08MIPS: Outline udelay and fix a few issues.Ralf Baechle
Outlining fixes the issue were on certain CPUs such as the R10000 family the delay loop would need an extra cycle if it overlaps a cacheline boundary. The rewrite also fixes build errors with GCC 4.4 which was changed in way incompatible with the kernel's inline assembly. Relying on pure C for computation of the delay value removes the need for explicit. The price we pay is a slight slowdown of the computation - to be fixed on another day.
