2006-01-06[PATCH] Hugetlb: Copy on Write supportDavid Gibson
Implement copy-on-write support for hugetlb mappings so MAP_PRIVATE can be supported. This helps us to safely use hugetlb pages in many more applications. The patch makes the following changes. If needed, I also have it broken out according to the following paragraphs. 1. Add a pair of functions to set/clear write access on huge ptes. The writable check in make_huge_pte is moved out to the caller for use by COW later. 2. Hugetlb copy-on-write requires special case handling in the following situations: - copy_hugetlb_page_range() - Copied pages must be write protected so a COW fault will be triggered (if necessary) if those pages are written to. - find_or_alloc_huge_page() - Only MAP_SHARED pages are added to the page cache. MAP_PRIVATE pages still need to be locked however. 3. Provide hugetlb_cow() and calls from hugetlb_fault() and hugetlb_no_page() which handles the COW fault by making the actual copy. 4. Remove the check in hugetlbfs_file_map() so that MAP_PRIVATE mmaps will be allowed. Make MAP_HUGETLB exempt from the depricated VM_RESERVED mapping check.

2006-01-04Relax the rw_verify_area() error checking.Linus Torvalds
In particular, allow over-large read- or write-requests to be downgraded to a more reasonable range, rather than considering them outright errors. We want to protect lower layers from (the sadly all too common) overflow conditions, but prefer to do so by chopping the requests up, rather than just refusing them outright.

2006-01-03[PATCH] add AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, prepend AOP_ to WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATEZach Brown
readpage(), prepare_write(), and commit_write() callers are updated to understand the special return code AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE in the style of writepage() and WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE. AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE tells the caller that the callee has unlocked the page and that the operation should be tried again with a new page. OCFS2 uses this to detect and work around a lock inversion in its aop methods. There should be no change in behaviour for methods that don't return AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE. WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE is also prepended with AOP_ for consistency and they are made enums so that kerneldoc can be used to document their semantics. Signed-off-by: Zach Brown <zach.brown@oracle.com>

2005-12-30Insanity avoidance in /procLinus Torvalds
The old /proc interfaces were never updated to use loff_t, and are just generally broken. Now, we should be using the seq_file interface for all of the proc files, but converting the legacy functions is more work than most people care for and has little upside.. But at least we can make the non-LFS rules explicit, rather than just insanely wrapping the offset or something. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-12-20[PATCH] relayfs: remove warning printk() in relay_switch_subbuf()Tom Zanussi
There's currently a diagnostic printk in relay_switch_subbuf() meant as a warning if you accidentally try to log an event larger than the sub-buffer size. The problem is if this happens while logging from somewhere it's not safe to be doing printks, such as in the scheduler, you can end up with a deadlock. This patch removes the warning from relay_switch_subbuf() and instead prints some diagnostic info when the channel is closed.

2005-12-15[SCSI] seperate max_sectors from max_hw_sectorsMike Christie
- export __blk_put_request and blk_execute_rq_nowait needed for async REQ_BLOCK_PC requests - seperate max_hw_sectors and max_sectors for block/scsi_ioctl.c and SG_IO bio.c helpers per Jens's last comments. Since block/scsi_ioctl.c SG_IO was already testing against max_sectors and SCSI-ml was setting max_sectors and max_hw_sectors to the same value this does not change any scsi SG_IO behavior. It only prepares ll_rw_blk.c, scsi_ioctl.c and bio.c for when SCSI-ml begins to set a valid max_hw_sectors for all LLDs. Today if a LLD does not set it SCSI-ml sets it to a safe default and some LLDs set it to a artificial low value to overcome memory and feedback issues. Note: Since we now cap max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which is 1024, drivers that used to call blk_queue_max_sectors with a large value of max_sectors will now see the fs requests capped to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS.

2005-12-14[SCSI] Convert SCSI mid-layer to scsi_execute_asyncMike Christie
Add scsi helpers to create really-large-requests and convert scsi-ml to scsi_execute_async(). Per Jens's previous comments, I placed this function in scsi_lib.c. I made it follow all the queue's limits - I think I did at least :), so I removed the warning on the function header. I think the scsi_execute_* functions should eventually take a request_queue and be placed some place where the dm-multipath hw_handler can use them if that failover code is going to stay in the kernel. That conversion patch will be sent in another mail though. Signed-off-by: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

2005-12-12[PATCH] inotify: add two inotify_add_watch flagsJohn McCutchan
The below patch lets userspace have more control over the inodes that inotify will watch. It introduces two new flags. IN_ONLYDIR -- only watch the inode if it is a directory. This is needed to avoid the race that can occur when we want to be sure that we are watching a directory. IN_DONT_FOLLOW -- don't follow a symlink. In combination with IN_ONLYDIR we can make sure that we don't watch the target of symlinks. The issues the flags fix came up when writing the gnome-vfs inotify backend. Default behaviour is unchanged.

2005-12-12[PATCH] Fix listxattr() for generic security attributesDaniel Drake
Commit f549d6c18c0e8e6cf1bf0e7a47acc1daf7e2cec1 introduced a generic fallback for security xattrs, but appears to include a subtle bug. Gentoo users with kernels with selinux compiled in, and coreutils compiled with acl support, noticed that they could not copy files on tmpfs using 'cp'. cp (compiled with acl support) copies the file, lists the extended attributes on the old file, copies them all to the new file, and then exits. However the listxattr() calls were failing with this odd behaviour: llistxattr("a.out", (nil), 0) = 17 llistxattr("a.out", 0x7fffff8c6cb0, 17) = -1 ERANGE (Numerical result out of range) I believe this is a simple problem in the logic used to check the buffer sizes; if the user sends a buffer the exact size of the data, then its ok :) This change solves the problem.

2005-12-03NFS: Fix a few further cache consistency regressionsTrond Myklebust
Steve Dickson writes: Doing the following: 1. On server: $ mkdir ~/t $ echo Hello > ~/t/tmp 2. On client, wait for a string to appear in this file: $ until grep -q foo t/tmp ; do echo -n . ; sleep 1 ; done 3. On server, create a *new* file with the same name containing that string: $ mv ~/t/tmp ~/t/tmp.old; echo foo > ~/t/tmp will show how the client will never (and I mean never ;-) ) see the updated file. The problem is that we do not update nfsi->cache_change_attribute when the file changes on the server (we only update it when our client makes the changes). This again means that functions like nfs_check_verifier() will fail to register when the parent directory has changed and should trigger a dentry lookup revalidation.
