2008-10-23[PATCH vfs-2.6 3/6] vfs: add __d_instantiate() helperOGAWA Hirofumi
This adds __d_instantiate() for users which is already taking dcache_lock, and replace with it. The part of d_add_ci() isn't equivalent. But it should be needed fsnotify_d_instantiate() actually, because the path is to add the inode to negative dentry. fsnotify_d_instantiate() should be called after change from negative to positive.

2008-10-23[PATCH vfs-2.6 2/6] vfs: add d_ancestor()OGAWA Hirofumi
This adds d_ancestor() instead of d_isparent(), then use it. If new_dentry == old_dentry, is_subdir() returns 1, looks strange. "new_dentry == old_dentry" is not subdir obviously. But I'm not checking callers for now, so this keeps current behavior. Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp>

2008-10-23[PATCH] Copy XFS readdir hack into nfsd code.David Woodhouse
Some file systems with their own internal locking have problems with the way that nfsd calls the ->lookup() method from within a filldir function called from their ->readdir() method. The recursion back into the file system code can cause deadlock. XFS has a fairly hackish solution to this which involves doing the readdir() into a locally-allocated buffer, then going back through it calling the filldir function afterwards. It's not ideal, but it works. It's particularly suboptimal because XFS does this for local file systems too, where it's completely unnecessary. Copy this hack into the NFS code where it can be used only for NFS export. In response to feedback, use it unconditionally rather than only for the affected file systems.

2008-10-23[PATCH] new helper: d_obtain_aliasChristoph Hellwig
The calling conventions of d_alloc_anon are rather unfortunate for all users, and it's name is not very descriptive either. Add d_obtain_alias as a new exported helper that drops the inode reference in the failure case, too and allows to pass-through NULL pointers and inodes to allow for tail-calls in the export operations. Incidentally this helper already existed as a private function in libfs.c as exportfs_d_alloc so kill that one and switch the callers to d_obtain_alias.

2008-10-20kdump: add is_vmcore_usable() and vmcore_unusable()Simon Horman
The usage of elfcorehdr_addr has changed recently such that being set to ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX is used by is_kdump_kernel() to indicate if the code is executing in a kernel executed as a crash kernel. However, arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c:reserve_elfcorehdr will rest elfcorehdr_addr to ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX on error, which means any subsequent calls to is_kdump_kernel() will return 0, even though they should return 1. Ok, at this point in time there are no subsequent calls, but I think its fair to say that there is ample scope for error or at the very least confusion. This patch add an extra state, ELFCORE_ADDR_ERR, which indicates that elfcorehdr_addr was passed on the command line, and thus execution is taking place in a crashdump kernel, but vmcore can't be used for some reason. This is tested for using is_vmcore_usable() and set using vmcore_unusable(). A subsequent patch makes use of this new code. To summarise, the states that elfcorehdr_addr can now be in are as follows: ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX: not a crashdump kernel ELFCORE_ADDR_ERR: crashdump kernel but vmcore is unusable any other value: crash dump kernel and vmcore is usable Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Cc: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-10-20kdump: make elfcorehdr_addr independent of CONFIG_PROC_VMCOREVivek Goyal
o elfcorehdr_addr is used by not only the code under CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE but also by the code which is not inside CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE. For example, is_kdump_kernel() is used by powerpc code to determine if kernel is booting after a panic then use previous kernel's TCE table. So even if CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE is not set in second kernel, one should be able to correctly determine that we are booting after a panic and setup calgary iommu accordingly. o So remove the assumption that elfcorehdr_addr is under CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE. o Move definition of elfcorehdr_addr to arch dependent crash files. (Unfortunately crash dump does not have an arch independent file otherwise that would have been the best place). o kexec.c is not the right place as one can Have CRASH_DUMP enabled in second kernel without KEXEC being enabled. o I don't see sh setup code parsing the command line for elfcorehdr_addr. I am wondering how does vmcore interface work on sh. Anyway, I am atleast defining elfcoredhr_addr so that compilation is not broken on sh.

2008-10-20ext3: avoid printk floods in the face of directory corruptionEric Sandeen
A very large directory with many read failures (either due to storage problems, or due to invalid size & blocks from corruption) will generate a printk storm as the filesystem continues to try to read all the blocks. This flood of messages can tie up the box until it is complete - which may be a very long time, especially for very large corrupted values. This is fixed by only reporting the corruption once each time we try to read the directory.
