2006-10-11[PATCH] hugetlb: fix linked list corruption in unmap_hugepage_range()Chen, Kenneth W
commit fe1668ae5bf0145014c71797febd9ad5670d5d05 causes kernel to oops with libhugetlbfs test suite. The problem is that hugetlb pages can be shared by multiple mappings. Multiple threads can fight over page->lru in the unmap path and bad things happen. We now serialize __unmap_hugepage_range to void concurrent linked list manipulation. Such serialization is also needed for shared page table page on hugetlb area. This patch will fixed the bug and also serve as a prepatch for shared page table.

2006-10-09[PATCH] Introduce vfs_listxattrBill Nottingham
This patch moves code out of fs/xattr.c:listxattr into a new function - vfs_listxattr. The code for vfs_listxattr was originally submitted by Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com> to Unionfs. Sorry about that. The reason for this submission is to make the listxattr code in fs/xattr.c a little cleaner (as well as to clean up some code in Unionfs.) Currently, Unionfs has vfs_listxattr defined in its code. I think that's very ugly, and I'd like to see it (re)moved. The logical place to put it, is along side of all the other vfs_*xattr functions. Overall, I think this patch is benefitial for both kernel.org kernel and Unionfs.

2006-10-06[PATCH] knfsd: tidy up up meaning of 'buffer size' in nfsd/sunrpcNeilBrown
There is some confusion about the meaning of 'bufsz' for a sunrpc server. In some cases it is the largest message that can be sent or received. In other cases it is the largest 'payload' that can be included in a NFS message. In either case, it is not possible for both the request and the reply to be this large. One of the request or reply may only be one page long, which fits nicely with NFS. So we remove 'bufsz' and replace it with two numbers: 'max_payload' and 'max_mesg'. Max_payload is the size that the server requests. It is used by the server to check the max size allowed on a particular connection: depending on the protocol a lower limit might be used. max_mesg is the largest single message that can be sent or received. It is calculated as the max_payload, rounded up to a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, and with PAGE_SIZE added to overhead. Only one of the request and reply may be this size. The other must be at most one page. Cc: Greg Banks <gnb@sgi.com> Cc: "J.

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

2006-10-04[PATCH] ecryptfs: fs/Makefile and fs/KconfigMichael Halcrow
eCryptfs is a stacked cryptographic filesystem for Linux. It is derived from Erez Zadok's Cryptfs, implemented through the FiST framework for generating stacked filesystems. eCryptfs extends Cryptfs to provide advanced key management and policy features. eCryptfs stores cryptographic metadata in the header of each file written, so that encrypted files can be copied between hosts; the file will be decryptable with the proper key, and there is no need to keep track of any additional information aside from what is already in the encrypted file itself.

2006-10-04[PATCH] knfsd: close a race-opportunity in d_splice_aliasNeilBrown
There is a possible race in d_splice_alias. Though __d_find_alias(inode, 1) will only return a dentry with DCACHE_DISCONNECTED set, it is possible for it to get cleared before the BUG_ON, and it is is not possible to lock against that. There are a couple of problems here. Firstly, the code doesn't match the comment. The comment describes a 'disconnected' dentry as being IS_ROOT as well as DCACHE_DISCONNECTED, however there is not testing of IS_ROOT anythere. A dentry is marked DCACHE_DISCONNECTED when allocated with d_alloc_anon, and remains DCACHE_DISCONNECTED while a path is built up towards the root. So a dentry can have a valid name and a valid parent and even grandparent, but will still be DCACHE_DISCONNECTED until a path to the root is created. Once the path to the root is complete, everything in the path gets DCACHE_DISCONNECTED cleared. So the fact that DCACHE_DISCONNECTED isn't enough to say that a dentry is free to be spliced in with a given name. This can only be allowed if the dentry does not yet have a name, so the IS_ROOT test is needed too. However even adding that test to __d_find_alias isn't enough. As d_splice_alias drops dcache_lock before calling d_move to perform the splice, it could race with another thread calling d_splice_alias to splice the inode in with a different name in a different part of the tree (in the case where a file has hard links). So that splicing code is only really safe for directories (as we know that directories only have one link). For directories, the caller of d_splice_alias will be holding i_mutex on the (unique) parent so there is no room for a race. A consequence of this is that a non-directory will never benefit from being spliced into a pre-exisiting dentry, but that isn't a problem. It is perfectly OK for a non-directory to have multiple dentries, some anonymous, some not. And the comment for d_splice_alias says that it only happens for directories anyway.

If nlm_lookup_host finds what it is looking for it exits with an extra reference on the matching 'nsm' structure. So don't actually count the reference until we are (fairly) sure it is going to be used.

2006-10-04[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: acls: fix handling of zero-length aclsJ.Bruce Fields
It is legal to have zero-length NFSv4 acls; they just deny everything. Also, nfs4_acl_nfsv4_to_posix will always return with pacl and dpacl set on success, so the caller doesn't need to check this.
