cfq_exit_lock is protecting two things now:
- The per-ioc rbtree of cfq_io_contexts
- The per-cfqd linked list of cfq_io_contexts
The per-cfqd linked list can be protected by the queue lock, as it is (by
definition) per cfqd as the queue lock is.
The per-ioc rbtree is mainly used and updated by the process itself only.
The only outside use is the io priority changing. If we move the
priority changing to not browsing the rbtree, we can remove any locking
from the rbtree updates and lookup completely. Let the sys_ioprio syscall
just mark processes as having the iopriority changed and lazily update
the private cfq io contexts the next time io is queued, and we can
remove this locking as well.

o As per ELF specifications, it looks like that elf note "namesz" field
contains the length of "name" including the size of null character. And
currently we are filling "namesz" without taking into the consideration
the null character size.
o Kexec-tools performs this check deligently hence I ran into the issue
while trying to open /proc/kcore in kexec-tools for some info.

The patches solve the following problem: We want to grant access to devices
based on who is logged in from where, etc. This includes switching back and
forth between multiple user sessions, etc.
Using ACLs to define device access for logged-in users gives us all the
flexibility we need in order to fully solve the problem.
Device special files nowadays usually live on tmpfs, hence tmpfs ACLs.
Different distros have come up with solutions that solve the problem to
different degrees: SUSE uses a resource manager which tracks login sessions
and sets ACLs on device inodes as appropriate. RedHat uses pam_console, which
changes the primary file ownership to the logged-in user. Others use a set of
groups that users must be in in order to be granted the appropriate accesses.
The freedesktop.org project plans to implement a combination of a
console-tracker and a HAL-device-list based solution to grant access to
devices to users, and more distros will likely follow this approach.
These patches have first been posted here on 2 February 2005, and again
on 8 January 2006. We have been shipping them in SLES9 and SLES10 with
no problems reported. The previous submission is archived here:

POSIX states that poll() shall fail with EINVAL if nfds > OPEN_MAX. In
this context, POSIX is referring to sysconf(OPEN_MAX), which is the value
of current->signal->rlim[RLIMIT_NOFILE].rlim_cur in the linux kernel, not
the compile-time constant which happens to also be named OPEN_MAX. In the
current code, an application may poll up to max_fdset file descriptors,
even if this exceeds RLIMIT_NOFILE. The current code also breaks
applications which poll more than max_fdset descriptors, which worked circa
2.4.18 when the check was against NR_OPEN, which is 1024*1024. This patch
enforces the limit precisely as POSIX defines, even if RLIMIT_NOFILE has
been changed at run time with ulimit -n.
To elaborate on the rationale for this, there are three cases:
1) RLIMIT_NOFILE is at the default value of 1024
In this (default) case, the patch changes nothing. Calls with nfds > 1024
fail with EINVAL both before and after the patch, and calls with nfds <=
1024 pass the check both before and after the patch, since 1024 is the
initial value of max_fdset.
2) RLIMIT_NOFILE has been raised above the default
In this case, poll() becomes more permissive, allowing polling up to
RLIMIT_NOFILE file descriptors even if less than 1024 have been opened.
The patch won't introduce new errors here. If an application somehow
depends on poll() failing when it polls with duplicate or invalid file
descriptors, it's already broken, since this is already allowed below 1024,
and will also work above 1024 if enough file descriptors have been open at
some point to cause max_fdset to have been increased above nfds.
3) RLIMIT_NOFILE has been lowered below the default
In this case, the system administrator or the user has gone out of their
way to protect the system from inefficient (or malicious) applications
wasting kernel memory. The current code allows polling up to 1024 file
descriptors even if RLIMIT_NOFILE is much lower, which is not what the user
or administrator intended. Well-written applications which only poll
valid, unique file descriptors will never notice the difference, because
they'll hit the limit on open() first. If an application gets broken
because of the patch in this case, then it was already poorly/maliciously
designed, and allowing it to work in the past was a violation of POSIX and
a DoS risk on low-resource systems.
With this patch, poll() will permit exactly what POSIX suggests, no more,
no less, and for any run-time value set with ulimit -n, not just 256 or
1024. There are existing apps which which poll a large number of file
descriptors, some of which may be invalid, and if those numbers stradle
1024, they currently fail with or without the patch in -mm, though they
worked fine under 2.4.18.

ISO9660 file system
There was an I/O error that prevented reading the last partial block of
large files in an ISO9660 filesystem. The error was generated when a file
comprised more than one section and had a size that was not an exact
multiple of the filesystem block size. This patch removes the check (and
failure) for reading into the last partial block (and possibly beyond) for
multiple-section files.
It worked in my testing to prevent reading beyond the end of the section;
my first patch just incremented the sect_size block count for a partial
block and continued doing the check. But there is a commment in the source
code about reading beyond the end of the file to fill a page cache.
Failing to access beyond the section would prevent reading beyond the end
of the file.

The problem is that close() syscalls can call a file system's flush
handler, which in turn might sleep interruptibly and ultimately pass back
an -ERESTARTSYS return value. This happens for files backed by an
interruptible NFS mount under nfs_file_flush() when a large file has just
been written and nfs_wait_bit_interruptible() detects that there is a
signal pending.
I have a test case where the "strace" command is used to attach to a
process sleeping in such a close(). Since the SIGSTOP is forced onto the
victim process (removing it from the thread's "blocked" mask in
force_sig_info()), the RPC wait is interrupted and the close() is
terminated early.
But the file table entry has already been cleared before the flush handler
was called. Thus, when the syscall is restarted, the file descriptor
appears closed and an EBADF error is returned (which is wrong). What's
worse, there is the hypothetical case where another thread of a
multi-threaded application might have reused the file descriptor, in which
case that file would be mistakenly closed.
The bottom line is that close() syscalls are not restartable, and thus
-ERESTARTSYS return values should be mapped to -EINTR. This is consistent
with the close(2) manual page. The fix is below.

The code in __register_chrdev_region checks that if the driver wishing to
register has the same major as an existing driver the new minor range is
strictly less than the existing minor range. However, it does not also
check that the new minor range is strictly greater than the existing minor
range. That is, if driver X has registered with major=x and minor=0-3,
__register_chrdev_region will allow driver Y to register with major=x and
minor=1-4.

[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.

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.

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

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...
Attached patch seems to fix it - and includes a printk to alert the user

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:

Some filesystems may want to report different values depending on the path
within the filesystem, i.e. one mount is actually several filesystems. This
can be the case for a network filesystem exported by an unprivileged server
(e.g. sshfs).
This is now possible, thanks to David Howells "VFS: Permit filesystem to

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.

Remove the unnecessary PageUptodate check from simple_readpage. The only
two callers for ->readpage that don't have explicit PageUptodate check are
read_cache_pages and page_cache_read which operate on newly allocated pages
which don't have the flag set.
[akpm: use the allegedly-faster clear_page(), too]

Check driver layer errors.
Fix from: "Jun'ichi Nomura" <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com>
In blockdevc-check-errors.patch, add_bd_holder() is modified to return error
values when some of its operation failed. Among them, it returns -EEXIST when
a given bd_holder object already exists in the list.
However, in this case, the function completed its work successfully and need
no action by its caller other than freeing unused bd_holder object. So I
think it's better to return success after freeing by itself.
Otherwise, bd_claim-ing with same claim pointer will fail.
Typically, lvresize will fails with following message:
device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
and you'll see messages like below in kernel log:
device-mapper: table: 254:13: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
Similarly, it should not add bd_holder to the list if either one of symlinking
fails. I don't have a test case for this to happen but it should cause
dereference of freed pointer.
If a matching bd_holder is found in bd_holder_list, add_bd_holder() completes
its job by just incrementing the reference count. In this case, it should be
considered as success but it used to return 'fail' to let the caller free
temporary bd_holder. Fixed it to return success and free given object by
itself.
Also, if either one of symlinking fails, the bd_holder should not be added to
the list so that it can be discarded later. Otherwise, the caller will free
bd_holder which is in the list.

It's always good to make symbols static when we can, and this also eliminates
the need to rename the function in jbd2
