2006-09-27[PATCH] Really ignore kmem_cache_destroy return valueAlexey Dobriyan
* Rougly half of callers already do it by not checking return value * Code in drivers/acpi/osl.c does the following to be sure: (void)kmem_cache_destroy(cache); * Those who check it printk something, however, slab_error already printed the name of failed cache. * XFS BUGs on failed kmem_cache_destroy which is not the decision low-level filesystem driver should make.

Some of the changes in balloc.c are just cosmetic, as Andreas pointed out - if they overflow they'll then underflow and things are fine. 5th hunk actually fixes an overflow problem.

2006-09-27[PATCH] ext3: wrong error behaviorVasily Averin
SWsoft Virtuozzo/OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered that ext3 error behavior was broken in linux kernels since 2.5.x versions by the following patch: 2002/10/31 02:15:26-05:00 tytso@snap.thunk.org Default mount options from superblock for ext2/3 filesystems http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@3dc0d88eKbV9ivV4ptRNM8fBuA3JBQ In case ext3 file system is mounted with errors=continue (EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE) errors should be ignored when possible. However at present in case of any error kernel aborts journal and remounts filesystem to read-only. Such behavior was hit number of times and noted to differ from that of 2.4.x kernels. This patch fixes this: - do nothing in case of EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE, - set EXT3_MOUNT_ABORT and call journal_abort() in all other cases - panic() should be called after ext3_commit_super() to save sb marked as EXT3_ERROR_FS Signed-off-by: Vasily Averin <vvs@sw.ru> Acked-by: Kirill Korotaev <dev@sw.ru> Cc: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: "Stephen C.

2006-09-27[PATCH] JBD: 16T fixesEric Sandeen
These are a few places I've found in jbd that look like they may not be 16T-safe, or consistent with the use of unsigned longs for block containers. Problems here would be somewhat hard to hit, would require journal blocks past the 8T boundary, which would not be terribly common. Still, should fix. (some of these have come from the ext4 work on jbd as well). I think there's one more possibility that the wrap() function may not be safe IF your last block in the journal butts right up against the 232 block boundary, but that seems like a VERY remote possibility, and I'm not worrying about it at this point.

2006-09-27[PATCH] fix ext3 mounts at 16TEric Sandeen
I need to do some actual IO testing now, but this gets things mounting for a 16T ext3 filesystem. (patched up e2fsprogs is needed too, I'll send that off the kernel list) This patch fixes these issues in the kernel: o sbi->s_groups_count overflows in ext3_fill_super() sbi->s_groups_count = (le32_to_cpu(es->s_blocks_count) - le32_to_cpu(es->s_first_data_block) + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) - 1) / EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb); at 16T, s_blocks_count is already maxed out; adding EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) overflows it and groups_count comes out to 0. Not really what we want, and causes a failed mount. Feel free to check my math (actually, please do!), but changing it this way should work & avoid the overflow: (A + B - 1)/B changed to: ((A - 1)/B) + 1 o ext3_check_descriptors() overflows range checks ext3_check_descriptors() iterates over all block groups making sure that various bits are within the right block ranges... on the last pass through, it is checking the error case [item] >= block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) where "block" is the first block in the last block group. The last block in this group (and the last one that will fit in 32 bits) is block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)- 1. block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) wraps back around to 0. so, make things clearer with "first_block" and "last_block" where those are first and last, inclusive, and use <, > rather than <, >=. Finally, the last block group may be smaller than the rest, so account for this on the last pass through: last_block = sb->s_blocks_count - 1; (a similar patch could be done for ext2; does anyone in their right mind use ext2 at 16T?

2006-09-26[PATCH] mm: tracking shared dirty pagesPeter Zijlstra
Tracking of dirty pages in shared writeable mmap()s. The idea is simple: write protect clean shared writeable pages, catch the write-fault, make writeable and set dirty. On page write-back clean all the PTE dirty bits and write protect them once again. The implementation is a tad harder, mainly because the default backing_dev_info capabilities were too loosely maintained. Hence it is not enough to test the backing_dev_info for cap_account_dirty. The current heuristic is as follows, a VMA is eligible when: - its shared writeable (vm_flags & (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)) == (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED) - it is not a 'special' mapping (vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_INSERTPAGE)) == 0 - the backing_dev_info is cap_account_dirty mapping_cap_account_dirty(vma->vm_file->f_mapping) - f_op->mmap() didn't change the default page protection Page from remap_pfn_range() are explicitly excluded because their COW semantics are already horrid enough (see vm_normal_page() in do_wp_page()) and because they don't have a backing store anyway. mprotect() is taught about the new behaviour as well. However it overrides the last condition. Cleaning the pages on write-back is done with page_mkclean() a new rmap call. It can be called on any page, but is currently only implemented for mapped pages, if the page is found the be of a VMA that accounts dirty pages it will also wrprotect the PTE. Finally, in fs/buffers.c:try_to_free_buffers(); remove clear_page_dirty() from under ->private_lock. This seems to be safe, since ->private_lock is used to serialize access to the buffers, not the page itself. This is needed because clear_page_dirty() will call into page_mkclean() and would thereby violate locking order.

2006-09-26[PATCH] jbd: fix commit of ordered data buffersJan Kara
Original commit code assumes, that when a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is locked, it is being written to disk. But this is not true and hence it can lead to a potential data loss on crash. Also the code didn't count with the fact that journal_dirty_data() can steal buffers from committing transaction and hence could write buffers that no longer belong to the committing transaction. Finally it could possibly happen that we tried writing out one buffer several times. The patch below tries to solve these problems by a complete rewrite of the data commit code. We go through buffers on t_sync_datalist, lock buffers needing write out and store them in an array. Buffers are also immediately refiled to BJ_Locked list or unfiled (if the write out is completed). When the array is full or we have to block on buffer lock, we submit all accumulated buffers for IO.

2006-09-24ocfs2: Remove i_generation from inode lock namesMark Fasheh
OCFS2 puts inode meta data in the "lock value block" provided by the DLM. Typically, i_generation is encoded in the lock name so that a deleted inode on and a new one in the same block don't share the same lvb. Unfortunately, that scheme means that the read in ocfs2_read_locked_inode() is potentially thrown away as soon as the meta data lock is taken - we cannot encode the lock name without first knowing i_generation, which requires a disk read. This patch encodes i_generation in the inode meta data lvb, and removes the value from the inode meta data lock name. This way, the read can be covered by a lock, and at the same time we can distinguish between an up to date and a stale LVB. This will help cold-cache stat(2) performance in particular. Since this patch changes the protocol version, we take the opportunity to do a minor re-organization of two of the LVB fields. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2006-09-24ocfs2: Encode i_generation in the meta data lvbMark Fasheh
