2008-02-14dentries: Extract common code to remove dentry from lruChristoph Lameter
Extract the common code to remove a dentry from the lru into a new function dentry_lru_remove(). Two call sites used list_del() instead of list_del_init(). AFAIK the performance of both is the same. dentry_lru_remove() does a list_del_init(). As a result dentry->d_lru is now always empty when a dentry is freed.

This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata. Together with the other patches of this series - it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on <dentry,vfsmount> pairs - it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed - it reduces the overall code size: without patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5321639 858418 715768 6895825 6938d1 vmlinux with patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5320026 858418 715768 6894212 693284 vmlinux This patch: Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

2008-02-14FLAT binaries: drop BINFMT_FLAT bad header magic warningMike Frysinger
The warning issued by fs/binfmt_flat.c when the format handler is given a non-FLAT and non-script executable is annoying to say the least when working with FDPIC ELF objects. If you build a kernel that supports both FLAT and FDPIC ELFs on no-mmu, every time you execute an FDPIC ELF, the kernel spits out this message. While I understand a lot of newcomers to the no-mmu world screw up generation of FLAT binaries, this warning is not usable for systems that support more than just FLAT.

2008-02-14[CIFS] fixup prefixpaths which contain multiple path componentsSteve French
Currently, when we get a prefixpath as part of mount, the kernel only changes the first character to be a '/' or '\' depending on whether posix extensions are enabled. This is problematic as it expects mount.cifs to pass in the correct delimiter in the rest of the prefixpath. But, mount.cifs may not know *what* the correct delimiter is. It's a chicken and egg problem. Note that mount.cifs should not do conversion of the prefixpath - if we want posix behavior then '\' is legal in a path (and we have had bugs in the distant path to prove to me that customers sometimes have apps that require '\'). The kernel code assumes that the path passed in is posix (and current code will handle the first path component fine but was broken for Windows mounts for "deep" prefixpaths unless the user specified a prefixpath with '\' deep in it. So e.g. with current kernel code: 1) mount to //server/share/dir1 will work to all server types 2) mount to //server/share/dir1/subdir1 will work to Samba 3) mount to //server/share/dir1\\subdir1 will work to Windows But case two would fail to Windows without the fix. With the kernel cifs module fix case two now works.

2008-02-13NFS: Allow text-based mounts via compat_sys_mountChuck Lever
The compat_sys_mount() system call throws EINVAL for text-based NFSv4 mounts. The text-based mount interface assumes that any mount option blob that doesn't set the version field to "1" is a C string (ie not a legacy mount request). The compat_sys_mount() call treats blobs that don't set the version field to "1" as an error. We just relax the check in compat_sys_mount() a bit to allow C strings to be passed down to the NFSv4 client.

2008-02-13NFS: fix reference counting for NFSv4 callback threadJeff Layton
The reference counting for the NFSv4 callback thread stays artificially high. When this thread comes down, it doesn't properly tear down the svc_serv, causing a memory leak. In my testing on an older kernel on x86_64, memory would leak out of the 8k kmalloc slab. So, we're leaking at least a page of memory every time the thread comes down. svc_create() creates the svc_serv with a sv_nrthreads count of 1, and then svc_create_thread() increments that count. Whenever the callback thread is started it has a sv_nrthreads count of 2. When coming down, it calls svc_exit_thread() which decrements that count and if it hits 0, it tears everything down. That never happens here since the count is always at 2 when the thread exits. The problem is that nfs_callback_up() should be calling svc_destroy() on the svc_serv on both success and failure. This is how lockd_up_proto() handles the reference counting, and doing that here fixes the leak.

2008-02-10NLM: don't requeue block if it was invalidated while GRANT_MSG was in flightJeff Layton
It's possible for lockd to catch a SIGKILL while a GRANT_MSG callback is in flight. If this happens we don't want lockd to insert the block back into the nlm_blocked list.

2008-02-10NLM: don't reattempt GRANT_MSG when there is already an RPC in flightJeff Layton
With the current scheme in nlmsvc_grant_blocked, we can end up with more than one GRANT_MSG callback for a block in flight. Right now, we requeue the block unconditionally so that a GRANT_MSG callback is done again in 30s. If the client is unresponsive, it can take more than 30s for the call already in flight to time out. There's no benefit to having more than one GRANT_MSG RPC queued up at a time, so put it on the list with a timeout of NLM_NEVER before doing the RPC call. If the RPC call submission fails, we requeue it with a short timeout. If it works, then nlmsvc_grant_callback will end up requeueing it with a shorter timeout after it completes.

2008-02-10NLM: have server-side RPC clients default to soft RPC tasksJeff Layton
Now that it no longer does an RPC ping, lockd always ends up queueing an RPC task for the GRANT_MSG callback. But, it also requeues the block for later attempts. Since these are hard RPC tasks, if the client we're calling back goes unresponsive the GRANT_MSG callbacks can stack up in the RPC queue. Fix this by making server-side RPC clients default to soft RPC tasks. lockd requeues the block anyway, so this should be OK. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2008-02-10NLM: set RPC_CLNT_CREATE_NOPING for NLM RPC clientsJeff Layton
It's currently possible for an unresponsive NLM client to completely lock up a server's lockd. The scenario is something like this: 1) client1 (or a process on the server) takes a lock on a file 2) client2 tries to take a blocking lock on the same file and awaits the callback 3) client2 goes unresponsive (plug pulled, network partition, etc) 4) client1 releases the lock ...at that point the server's lockd will try to queue up a GRANT_MSG callback for client2, but first it requeues the block with a timeout of 30s. nlm_async_call will attempt to bind the RPC client to client2 and will call rpc_ping. rpc_ping entails a sync RPC call and if client2 is unresponsive it will take around 60s for that to time out. Once it times out, it's already time to retry the block and the whole process repeats. Once in this situation, nlmsvc_retry_blocked will never return until the host starts responding again. lockd won't service new calls. Fix this by skipping the RPC ping on NLM RPC clients. This makes nlm_async_call return quickly when called. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

2008-02-10ext4: Add new "development flag" to the ext4 filesystemTheodore Tso
This flag is simply a generic "this is a crash/burn test filesystem" marker. If it is set, then filesystem code which is "in development" will be allowed to mount the filesystem. Filesystem code which is not considered ready for prime-time will check for this flag, and if it is not set, it will refuse to touch the filesystem. As we start rolling ext4 out to distro's like Fedora, et. al, this makes it less likely that a user might accidentally start using ext4 on a production filesystem; a bad thing, since that will essentially make it be unfsckable until e2fsprogs catches up.
