Handle errors thrown in disk_sysfs_symlinks(), and propagate back to caller. The callers and associated functions don't do a real good job of handling kobject errors anyway (add_partition, register_disk, rescan_partitions), so this should do until something better comes along.

2006-10-17[PATCH] Fix IO error reporting on fsync()Jan Kara
When IO error happens on metadata buffer, buffer is freed from memory and later fsync() is called, filesystems like ext2 fail to report EIO. We solve the problem by introducing a pointer to associated address space into the buffer_head. When a buffer is removed from a list of metadata buffers associated with an address space, IO error is transferred from the buffer to the address space, so that fsync can later report it.

2006-10-17[PATCH] knfsd: Allow lockd to drop replies as appropriateNeilBrown
It is possible for the ->fopen callback from lockd into nfsd to find that an answer cannot be given straight away (an upcall is needed) and so the request has to be 'dropped', to be retried later. That error status is not currently propagated back. So: Change nlm_fopen to return nlm error codes (rather than a private protocol) and define a new nlm_drop_reply code. Cause nlm_drop_reply to cause the rpc request to get rpc_drop_reply when this error comes back. Cause svc_process to drop a request which returns a status of rpc_drop_reply.

2006-10-17[PATCH] knfsd: Fix bug in recent lockd patches that can cause reclaim to failNeilBrown
When an nfs server shuts down, lockd needs to release all the locks even though the client still holds them. It should therefore not 'unmonitor' the clients, so that the files in nfs/sm will still be there when the nfs server restarts, so that those clients will be told to reclaim their locks. However the hosts are fully unmonitored, so statd may well remove the files. lockd has a test for 'sm_sticky' and avoid the unmonitor call if it is set, but it is currently not set. So set it when tearing down lockd. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-10-17[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: fix owner-override on openJ. Bruce Fields
If a client creates a file using an open which sets the mode to 000, or if a chmod changes permissions after a file is opened, then situations may arise where an NFS client knows that some IO is permitted (because a process holds the file open), but the NFS server does not (because it doesn't know about the open, and only sees that the IO conflicts with the current mode of the file). As a hack to solve this problem, NFS servers normally allow the owner to override permissions on IO. The client can still enforce correct permissions-checking on open by performing an explicit access check. In NFSv4 the client can rely on the explicit on-the-wire open instead of an access check. Therefore we should not be allowing the owner to override permissions on an over-the-wire open! However, we should still allow the owner to override permissions in the case where the client is claiming an open that it already made either before a reboot, or while it was holding a delegation.

2006-10-17[PATCH] fuse: fix dereferencing dentry parentMiklos Szeredi
There's no locking for ->d_revalidate, so fuse_dentry_revalidate() should use dget_parent() instead of simply dereferencing ->d_parent. Due to topology changes in the directory tree the parent could become negative or be destroyed while being used. There hasn't been any reports about this yet.

2006-10-17[PATCH] fuse: fix handling of moved directoryMiklos Szeredi
Fuse considered it an error (EIO) if lookup returned a directory inode, to which a dentry already refered. This is because directory aliases are not allowed. But in a network filesystem this could happen legitimately, if a directory is moved on a remote client. This patch attempts to relax the restriction by trying to first evict the offending alias from the cache. If this fails, it still returns an error (EBUSY). A rarer situation is if an mkdir races with an indenpendent lookup, which finds the newly created directory already moved. In this situation the mkdir should return success, but that would be incorrect, since the dentry cannot be instantiated, so return EBUSY. Previously checking for a directory alias and instantiation of the dentry weren't done atomically in lookup/mkdir, hence two such calls racing with each other could create aliased directories. To prevent this introduce a new per-connection mutex: fuse_conn->inst_mutex, which is taken for instantiations with a directory inode.

2006-10-17[PATCH] fuse: fix hang on SMPMiklos Szeredi
Fuse didn't always call i_size_write() with i_mutex held which caused rare hangs on SMP/32bit. This bug has been present since fuse-2.2, well before being merged into mainline. The simplest solution is to protect i_size_write() with the per-connection spinlock. Using i_mutex for this purpose would require some restructuring of the code and I'm not even sure it's always safe to acquire i_mutex in all places i_size needs to be set. Since most of vmtruncate is already duplicated for other reasons, duplicate the remaining part as well, making all i_size_write() calls internal to fuse. Using i_size_write() was unnecessary in fuse_init_inode(), since this function is only called on a newly created locked inode. Reported by a few people over the years, but special thanks to Dana Henriksen who was persistent enough in helping me debug it.

The file based core dump code was broken by pipe changes - a relative llseek returns the absolute file position on success, not the relative one, so dump_seek() always failed when invoked with non-zero current position. Only success/failure can be tested with relative lseek, we have to trust kernel that on success we've got right file offset.

2006-10-12[PATCH] block layer: ioprio_best function fixVasily Tarasov
Currently ioprio_best function first checks wethere aioprio or bioprio equals IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE (ioprio_valid() macros does that) and if it is so it returns bioprio/aioprio appropriately. Thus the next four lines, that set aclass/bclass to IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, if aclass/bclass == IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE, are never executed. The second problem: if aioprio from class IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE and bioprio from class IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE are passed to ioprio_best function, it will return IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE. It means that during __make_request we can merge two requests and set the priority of merged request to IDLE, while one of the initial requests originates from a process with NONE (default) priority. So we can get a situation when a process with default ioprio will experience IO starvation, while there is no process from real-time class in the system. Just removing ioprio_valid check should correct situation. Signed-off-by: Vasily Tarasov <vtaras@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2006-10-11[PATCH] VFS: Destroy the dentries contributed by a superblock on unmountingDavid Howells
The attached patch destroys all the dentries attached to a superblock in one go by: (1) Destroying the tree rooted at s_root. (2) Destroying every entry in the anon list, one at a time. (3) Each entry in the anon list has its subtree consumed from the leaves inwards. This reduces the amount of work generic_shutdown_super() does, and avoids iterating through the dentry_unused list. Note that locking is almost entirely absent in the shrink_dcache_for_umount*() functions added by this patch. This is because: (1) at the point the filesystem calls generic_shutdown_super(), it is not permitted to further touch the superblock's set of dentries, and nor may it remove aliases from inodes; (2) the dcache memory shrinker now skips dentries that are being unmounted; and (3) the superblock no longer has any external references through which the VFS can reach it. Given these points, the only locking we need to do is when we remove dentries from the unused list and the name hashes, which we do a directory's worth at a time. We also don't need to guard against reference counts going to zero unexpectedly and removing bits of the tree we're working on as nothing else can call dput(). A cut down version of dentry_iput() has been folded into shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree() function. Apart from not needing to unlock things, it also doesn't need to check for inotify watches. In this version of the patch, the complaint about a dentry still being in use has been expanded from a single BUG_ON() and now gives much more information.

2006-10-11[PATCH] ext2: errors behaviour fixVasily Averin
Current error behaviour for ext2 and ext3 filesystems does not fully correspond to the documentation and should be fixed. According to man 8 mount, ext2 and ext3 file systems allow to set one of 3 different on-errors behaviours: ---- start of quote man 8 mount ---- errors=continue / errors=remount-ro / errors=panic Define the behaviour when an error is encountered. (Either ignore errors and just mark the file system erroneous and continue, or remount the file system read-only, or panic and halt the system.) The default is set in the filesystem superblock, and can be changed using tune2fs(8). ---- end of quote ---- However EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock, and thus ERRORS_CONT is not saved on the sbi->s_mount_opt. It leads to the incorrect handle of errors on ext3. Then we've checked corresponding code in ext2 and discovered that it is buggy as well: - EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock (the same); - parse_option() does not clean the alternative values and thus something like (ERRORS_CONT|ERRORS_RO) can be set; - if options are omitted, parse_option() does not set any of these options. Therefore it is possible to set any combination of these options on the ext2: - none of them may be set: EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE on superblock / empty mount options; - any of them may be set using mount options; - 2 any options may be set: by using EXT2_ERRORS_RO/EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the superblock and other value in mount options; - and finally all three options may be set by adding third option in remount. Currently ext2 uses these values only in ext2_error() and it is not leading to any noticeable troubles. However somebody may be discouraged when he will try to workaround EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the superblock by using errors=continue in mount options. This patch: EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE should be read from the superblock as default value for error behaviour. parse_option() should clean the alternative options and should not change default value taken from the superblock.

2006-10-11[PATCH] ext3: errors behaviour fixDmitry Mishin
Current error behaviour for ext2 and ext3 filesystems does not fully correspond to the documentation and should be fixed. According to man 8 mount, ext2 and ext3 file systems allow to set one of 3 different on-errors behaviours: ---- start of quote man 8 mount ---- errors=continue / errors=remount-ro / errors=panic Define the behaviour when an error is encountered. (Either ignore errors and just mark the file system erroneous and continue, or remount the file system read-only, or panic and halt the system.) The default is set in the filesystem superblock, and can be changed using tune2fs(8). ---- end of quote ---- However EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock, and thus ERRORS_CONT is not saved on the sbi->s_mount_opt.

2006-10-11[PATCH] grow_buffers() infinite loop fixAndrew Morton
If grow_buffers() is for some reason passed a block number which wants to lie outside the maximum-addressable pagecache range (PAGE_SIZE * 4G bytes) then it will accidentally truncate `index' and will then instnatiate a page at the wrong pagecache offset. This causes __getblk_slow() to go into an infinite loop. This can happen with corrupted disks, or with software errors elsewhere. Detect that, and handle it.

2006-10-11[PATCH] epoll_pwait()Davide Libenzi
Implement the epoll_pwait system call, that extend the event wait mechanism with the same logic ppoll and pselect do. The definition of epoll_pwait is: int epoll_pwait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents, int timeout, const sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sigsetsize); The difference between the vanilla epoll_wait and epoll_pwait is that the latter allows the caller to specify a signal mask to be set while waiting for events. Hence epoll_pwait will wait until either one monitored event, or an unmasked signal happen. If sigmask is NULL, the epoll_pwait system call will act exactly like epoll_wait.
