f6762b7ad8 [PATCH] pipe: enable atomic copying of pipe data to/from user space
The pipe ->map() method uses kmap() to virtually map the pages, which
is both slow and has known scalability issues on SMP. This patch enables
atomic copying of pipe pages, by pre-faulting data and using kmap_atomic()
instead.

lmbench bw_pipe and lat_pipe measurements agree this is a Good Thing. Here
are results from that on a UP machine with highmem (1.5GiB of RAM), running
first a UP kernel, SMP kernel, and SMP kernel patched.

f84d751994 [PATCH] pipe: introduce ->pin() buffer operation
The ->map() function is really expensive on highmem machines right now,
since it has to use the slower kmap() instead of kmap_atomic(). Splice
rarely needs to access the virtual address of a page, so it's a waste
of time doing it.

Introduce ->pin() to take over the responsibility of making sure the
page data is valid. ->map() is then reduced to just kmap(). That way we
can also share a most of the pipe buffer ops between pipe.c and splice.c

0568b409c7 [PATCH] splice: fix bugs in pipe_to_file()
Found by Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru>, fixed by me.

- Only allow full pages to go to the page cache.
- Check page != buf->page instead of using PIPE_BUF_FLAG_STOLEN.
- Remember to clear 'stolen' if add_to_page_cache() fails.

And as a cleanup on that:

- Make the bottom fall-through logic a little less convoluted. Also make
  the steal path hold an extra reference to the page, so we don't have
  to differentiate between stolen and non-stolen at the end.

e7edf9cded [PATCH] LSM: add missing hook to do_compat_readv_writev()
This patch addresses a flaw in LSM, where there is no mediation of readv()
and writev() in for 32-bit compatible apps using a 64-bit kernel.

This bug was discovered and fixed initially in the native readv/writev
code [1], but was not fixed in the compat code.  Thanks to Al for spotting
this one.

de0bb97aff [PATCH] forgotten ->b_data in memcpy() call in ext3/resize.c (oopsable)
sbi->s_group_desc is an array of pointers to buffer_head.  memcpy() of
buffer size from address of buffer_head is a bad idea - it will generate
junk in any case, may oops if buffer_head is close to the end of slab
page and next page is not mapped and isn't what was intended there.
IOW, ->b_data is missing in that call.  Fortunately, result doesn't go
into the primary on-disk data structures, so only backup ones get crap
written to them; that had allowed this bug to remain unnoticed until
now.

6dbbcb1205 [fuse] fix deadlock between fuse_put_super() and request_end(), try #2
A deadlock was possible, when the last reference to the superblock was
held due to a background request containing a file reference.

Releasing the file would release the vfsmount which in turn would
release the superblock.  Since sbput_sem is held during the fput() and
fuse_put_super() tries to acquire this same semaphore, a deadlock
results.

The solution is to move the fput() outside the region protected by
sbput_sem.

This reverts 73ce8355c2 commit.

It was wrong, because it didn't take into account the requirement,
that iput() for background requests must be performed synchronously
with ->put_super(), otherwise active inodes may remain after unmount.

The right solution is to keep the sbput_sem and perform iput() within
the locked region, but move fput() outside sbput_sem.

0a489cb3b6 x86: don't allow tail-calls in sys_ftruncate[64]()
Gcc thinks it owns the incoming argument stack, but that's not true for
"asmlinkage" functions, and it corrupts the caller-set-up argument stack
when it pushes the third argument onto the stack.  Which can result in
%ebx getting corrupted in user space.

Now, normally nobody sane would ever notice, since libc will save and
restore %ebx anyway over the system call, but it's still wrong.

I'd much rather have "asmlinkage" tell gcc directly that it doesn't own
the stack, but no such attribute exists, so we're stuck with our hacky
manual "prevent_tail_call()" macro once more (we've had the same issue
before with sys_waitpid() and sys_wait4()).

d96fb997c6 [JFFS2] Fix race in post-mount node checking
For a while now, we've postponed CRC-checking of data nodes to be done
by the GC thread, instead of being done while the user is waiting for
mount to finish. The GC thread would iterate through all the inodes on
the system and check each of their data nodes. It would skip over inodes
which had already been used or were already being read in by
read_inode(), because their data nodes would have been examined anyway.

However, we could sometimes reach the end of the for-each-inode loop and
still have some unchecked space left, if an inode we'd skipped was
_still_ in the process of being read. This fixes that race by actually
waiting for read_inode() to finish rather than just moving on.

Thanks to Ladislav Michl for coming up with a reproducible test case and
helping to track it down.

d4d7e5dffc [PATCH] BLOCK: delay all uevents until partition table is scanned
[BLOCK] delay all uevents until partition table is scanned

Here we delay the annoucement of all block device events until the
disk's partition table is scanned and all partition devices are already
created and sysfs is populated.

We have a bunch of old bugs for removable storage handling where we
probe successfully for a filesystem on the raw disk, but at the
same time the kernel recognizes a partition table and creates partition
devices.
Currently there is no sane way to tell if partitions will show up or not
at the time the disk device is announced to userspace. With the delayed
events we can simply skip any probe for a filesystem on the raw disk when
we find already present partitions.

4508a7a734 [PATCH] sysfs: Allow sysfs attribute files to be pollable
It works like this:
  Open the file
  Read all the contents.
  Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works)
  When poll returns,
     close the file and go to top of loop.
   or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'.

Events are signaled by an object manager calling
   sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr);

If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which
contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group).

This has a cost of one int  per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject,
one int per open file.

The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify
functionality.  Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs
attributes as well?

This patch also uses sysfs_notify to allow /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action
to be pollable

c06511d12d [PATCH] de_thread: Don't change our parents and ptrace flags.
This is two distinct changes.
 - Not changing our real parents.
 - Not changing our ptrace parents.

Not changing our real parents is trivially correct because both tasks
have the same real parents as they are part of a thread group.  Now that
we demote the leader to a thread there is no longer any reason to change
it's parentage.

Not changing our ptrace parents is a user visible change if someone
looks hard enough.  I don't think user space applications will care or
even notice.

In the practical and I think common case a debugger will have attached
to all of the threads using the same ptrace flags.  From my quick skim
of strace and gdb that appears to be the case.  Which if true means
debuggers will not notice a change.

Before this point we have already generated a ptrace event in do_exit
that reports the leaders pid has died so de_thread is visible to a
debugger.  Which means attempting to hide this case by copying flags
around appears excessive.

By not doing anything it avoids all of the weird locking issues between
de_thread and ptrace attach, and removes one case from consideration for
fixing the ptrace locking.

This only addresses Oleg's first concern with ptrace_attach, that of the
problems caused by reparenting.  Oleg's second concern is essentially a
race between ptrace_attach and release_task that causes an oops when we
get to force_sig_specific.  There is nothing special about de_thread
with respect to that race.

73ce8355c2 [fuse] fix deadlock between fuse_put_super() and request_end()
A deadlock was possible, when the last reference to the superblock was
held due to a background request containing a file reference.

Releasing the file would release the vfsmount which in turn would
release the superblock.  Since sbput_sem is held during the fput() and
fuse_put_super() tries to acquire this same semaphore, a deadlock
results.

The chosen soltuion is to get rid of sbput_sem, and instead use the
spinlock to ensure the referenced inodes/file are released only once.
Since the actual release may sleep, defer these outside the locked
region, but using local variables instead of the structure members.

This is a much more rubust solution.

Where the user space tee consumes the input and produces a stdout and

54cceebb67 [PATCH] knfsd: nfsd: nfsd_setuser doesn't really need to modify rqstp->rq_cred.
In addition to setting the processes filesystem id's, nfsd_setuser also
modifies the value of the rq_cred which stores the id's that originally came
from the rpc call, for example to reflect root squashing.

There's no real reason to do that--the only case where rqstp->rq_cred is
actually used later on is in the NFSv4 SETCLIENTID/SETCLIENTID_CONFIRM
operations, and there the results are the opposite of what we want--those two
operations don't deal with the filesystem at all, they only record the
credentials used with the rpc call for later reference (so that we may require
the same credentials be used on later operations), and the credentials
shouldn't vary just because there was or wasn't a previous operation in the
compound that referred to some export

This fixes a bug which caused mounts from Solaris clients to fail.

calling path_release() even though path_lookup() failed (it happens to fill in
the nameidata structure with a negative dentry - so the test after out:
succeeds).

time before finally exiting with a message "couldn't read superblock".

b5872b0dcc [PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: fix acl xattr length return

changed.  (Note: there's still a small race here; we could end up returning
-ENOMEM if the length increased between the first and second call.  I don't
know whether it's worth spending a lot of effort to fix that.)

This makes XFS ACLs usable on NFS exports, which they currently aren't, since
XFS appears to be returning a too-large value for vfs_getxattr() when it's
passed a NULL buffer.  So there's probably an XFS bug here too, though since
getxattr with a NULL buffer is usually used to decide how much memory to
allocate, it may be a fairly harmless bug in most cases.

d5b9026a67 [PATCH] knfsd: locks: flag NFSv4-owned locks
Use the fl_lmops field to identify which locks are ours, instead of trying to
look them up in our private hash.  This is safer and more efficient.

Earlier versions of this patch used a lock flag instead, but Trond pointed out
that adding a new flag for each lock manager wasn't going to scale well, and
suggested this approach instead; a separate patch converts lockd to using
fl_lmops in the same way.

In the NFSv4 case this looks like a bit of a hack, since the NFSv4 server
isn't currently actually defining a lock_manager_operations struct, so we end
up defining one *just* to serve as a cookie to identify our locks.

But it works, and we actually do expect to start using the
lock_manager_operations at some point anyway.

08a53cdce6 [PATCH] fuse: account background requests
The previous patch removed limiting the number of outstanding requests.  This
patch adds a much simpler limiting, that is also compatible with file locking
operations.

A task may have at most one synchronous request allocated.  So these requests
need not be otherwise limited.

However the number of background requests (release, forget, asynchronous
reads, interrupted requests) can grow indefinitely.  This can be used by a
malicous user to cause FUSE to allocate arbitrary amounts of unswappable
kernel memory, denying service.

For this reason add a limit for the number of background requests, and block
allocations of new requests until the number goes bellow the limit.

Also use this mechanism to block all requests until the INIT reply is
received.

The only critical part is the interaction between fuse_dev_release() and

This is ensured by the fput() operation, which will synchronize the assignment
with other CPU's that may do a final fput() soon after this.

Also redundant locking is removed from fuse_fill_super(), where exclusion is
already ensured by the BKL held for this function by the VFS.

385a17bfc3 [PATCH] fuse: add O_ASYNC support to FUSE device
This adds asynchronous notification to FUSE - a FUSE server can request
O_ASYNC on a /dev/fuse file descriptor and receive SIGIO when there is input
available.

One subtlety - fuse_dev_fasync, which is called when O_ASYNC is requested,
does no locking, unlink the other methods.  I think it's unnecessary, as the
fuse_conn.fasync list is manipulated only by fasync_helper and kill_fasync,
which provide their own locking.  It would also be wrong to use the fuse_lock,
as it's a spin lock and fasync_helper can sleep.  My one concern with this is
the fuse_conn going away underneath fuse_dev_fasync - sys_fcntl takes a
reference on the file struct, so this seems not to be a problem.

7025d9ad10 [PATCH] fuse: fix fuse_dev_poll() return value
fuse_dev_poll() returned an error value instead of a poll mask.  Luckily (or
unluckily) -ENODEV does contain the POLLERR bit.

There's also a race if filesystem is unmounted between fuse_get_conn() and
spin_lock(), in which case this event will be missed by poll().

d3406ffa4a [PATCH] fuse: fix oops in fuse_send_readpages()
During heavy parallel filesystem activity it was possible to Oops the kernel.
The reason is that read_cache_pages() could skip pages which have already been
inserted into the cache by another task.  Occasionally this may result in zero
pages actually being sent, while fuse_send_readpages() relies on at least one
page being in the request.

So check this corner case and just free the request instead of trying to send
it.

091e881d0e [PATCH] inotify: check for NULL inode in inotify_d_instantiate
The spufs file system creates files in a directory before instantiating the
directory itself, which causes a NULL pointer access in
inotify_d_instantiate since c32ccd87bf.

I'd like to keep this behavior since it means that the user will not have
access to files in the directory before I know that I succeed in creating
everything in it.  This patch adds a simple check for the inode to keep
that working.

f5e902817f [PATCH] process accounting: take original leader's start_time in non-leader exec
The only record we have of the real-time age of a process, regardless of
execs it's done, is start_time.  When a non-leader thread exec, the
original start_time of the process is lost.  Things looking at the
real-time age of the process are fooled, for example the process accounting
record when the process finally dies.  This change makes the oldest
start_time stick around with the process after a non-leader exec.  This way
the association between PID and start_time is kept constant, which seems
correct to me.

de12a7878c [PATCH] de_thread: Don't confuse users do_each_thread.
Oleg Nesterov spotted two interesting bugs with the current de_thread
code.  The simplest is a long standing double decrement of
__get_cpu_var(process_counts) in __unhash_process.  Caused by
two processes exiting when only one was created.

The other is that since we no longer detach from the thread_group list
it is possible for do_each_thread when run under the tasklist_lock to
see the same task_struct twice.  Once on the task list as a
thread_group_leader, and once on the thread list of another
thread.

The double appearance in do_each_thread can cause a double increment
of mm_core_waiters in zap_threads resulting in problems later on in
coredump_wait.

To remedy those two problems this patch takes the simple approach
of changing the old thread group leader into a child thread.
The only routine in release_task that cares is __unhash_process,
and it can be trivially seen that we handle cleaning up a
thread group leader properly.

Since de_thread doesn't change the pid of the exiting leader process
and instead shares it with the new leader process.  I change
thread_group_leader to recognize group leadership based on the
group_leader field and not based on pids.  This should also be
slightly cheaper then the existing thread_group_leader macro.

I performed a quick audit and I couldn't see any user of
thread_group_leader that cared about the difference.

semantics are straightforward: f_pos will be updated with the offset
provided by user-space, before the splice transfer is about to begin.
Providing a NULL offset pointer means the existing f_pos will be used
(and updated in situ).  Providing an offset for a pipe results in
-ESPIPE. Providing an invalid offset pointer results in -EFAULT.

3e7ee3e7b3 [PATCH] splice: fix page stealing LRU handling.
Originally from Nick Piggin, just adapted to the newer branch.

You can't check PageLRU without holding zone->lru_lock.  The page
release code can get away with it only because the page refcount is 0 at
that point. Also, you can't reliably remove pages from the LRU unless
the refcount is 0. Ever.

ad8d6f0a78 [PATCH] splice: page stealing needs to wait_on_page_writeback()
Thanks to Andrew for the good explanation of why this is so. akpm writes:

If a page is under writeback and we remove it from pagecache, it's still
going to get written to disk.  But the VFS no longer knows about that page,
nor that this page is about to modify disk blocks.

So there might be scenarios in which those
blocks-which-are-about-to-be-written-to get reused for something else.
When writeback completes, it'll scribble on those blocks.

This won't happen in ext2/ext3-style filesystems in normal mode because the
page has buffers and try_to_release_page() will fail.

But ext2 in nobh mode doesn't attach buffers at all - it just sticks the
page in a BIO, finds some new blocks, points the BIO at those blocks and
lets it rip.

While that write IO's in flight, someone could truncate the file.  Truncate
won't block on the writeout because the page isn't in pagecache any more.
So truncate will the free the blocks from the file under the page's feet.
Then something else can reallocate those blocks.  Then write data to them.

Now, the original write completes, corrupting the filesystem.

4f6f0bd2ff [PATCH] splice: improve writeback and clean up page stealing
By cleaning up the writeback logic (killing write_one_page() and the manual
set_page_dirty()), we can get rid of ->stolen inside the pipe_buffer and
just keep it local in pipe_to_file().

This also adds dirty page balancing logic and O_SYNC handling.

e9917a000f [CIFS] Incorrect signature sent on SMB Read
Fixes Samba bug 3621 and kernel.org bug 6147

For servers which require SMB/CIFS packet signing, we were sending the
wrong signature (all zeros) on SMB Read request.  The new cifs routine
to do signatures across an iovec was not complete - and SMB Read, unlike
the new SMBWrite2, did not fall back to the older routine (ie use
SendReceive vs. the more efficient SendReceive2 ie used the older
cifs_sign_smb vs. the disabled  cifs_sign_smb2) for calculating signatures.

This finishes up cifs_sign_smb2/cifs_calc_signature2 so that the callers
of SendReceive2 can get SMB/CIFS packet signatures.

Now that cifs_sign_smb2 is supported, we could start using it in
the write path but this smaller fix does not include the change
to use SMBWrite2 when signatures are required (which when enabled
will make more Writes more efficient and alloc less memory).
Currently Write2 is only used when signatures are not
required at the moment but after more testing we will enable
that as well).

Thanks to James Slepicka and Sam Flory for initial investigation.

Commit 70674f95c0:

  [PATCH] Optimize select/poll by putting small data sets on the stack

resulted in the poll stack being 4-byte aligned on 64-bit architectures,
causing misaligned accesses to elements in the array.

This patch fixes it by declaring the stack in terms of 'long' instead
of 'char'.

Force alignment of poll and select stacks to long to avoid unaligned

993dfa8776 [PATCH] fs/locks.c: Fix sys_flock() race
sys_flock() currently has a race which can result in a double free in the
multi-thread case.

Thread 1			Thread 2

sys_flock(file, LOCK_EX)
				sys_flock(file, LOCK_UN)

If Thread 2 removes the lock from inode->i_lock before Thread 1 tests for
list_empty(&lock->fl_link) at the end of sys_flock, then both threads will
end up calling locks_free_lock for the same lock.

Fix is to make flock_lock_file() do the same as posix_lock_file(), namely
to make a copy of the request, so that the caller can always free the lock.

This also has the side-effect of fixing up a reference problem in the
lockd handling of flock.

f79e2abb9b [PATCH] sys_sync_file_range()
Remove the recently-added LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE and LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT
fadvise() additions, do it in a new sys_sync_file_range() syscall instead.
Reasons:

- It's more flexible.  Things which would require two or three syscalls with
  fadvise() can be done in a single syscall.

- Using fadvise() in this manner is something not covered by POSIX.

The patch wires up the syscall for x86.

The sycall is implemented in the new fs/sync.c.  The intention is that we can
move sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and perhaps sys_sync() into there later.

Documentation for the syscall is in fs/sync.c.

A test app (sync_file_range.c) is in
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz.

The available-to-GPL-modules do_sync_file_range() is for knfsd: "A COMMIT can
say NFS_DATA_SYNC or NFS_FILE_SYNC.  I can skip the ->fsync call for
NFS_DATA_SYNC which is hopefully the more common."

Note: the `async' writeout mode SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE will turn synchronous if
the queue is congested.  This is trivial to fix: add a new flag bit, set
wbc->nonblocking.  But I'm not sure that we want to expose implementation
details down to that level.

Note: it's notable that we can sync an fd which wasn't opened for writing.
Same with fsync() and fdatasync()).

Note: the code takes some care to handle attempts to sync file contents
outside the 16TB offset on 32-bit machines.  It makes such attempts appear to
succeed, for best 32-bit/64-bit compatibility.  Perhaps it should make such
requests fail...

Make baby-simple the code for /proc/devices.  Based on the proven design

This also fixes the early-termination regression 2.6.16 introduced, as

    # dd if=/proc/devices bs=1
    Character devices:
      1 mem
    27+0 records in
    27+0 records out

This should also work (but is untested) when /proc/devices >4096 bytes,
which I believe is what the original 2.6.16 rewrite fixed.

5274f052e7 [PATCH] Introduce sys_splice() system call
This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a
transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only).

From the splice.c comments:

   "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands.

   This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as
   an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel
   buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other.

   The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation
   that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer.

   Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by
   Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation
   bugs.

aa1757f90b [PATCH] convert sighand_cache to use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU
This patch borrows a clever Hugh's 'struct anon_vma' trick.

Without tasklist_lock held we can't trust task->sighand until we locked it
and re-checked that it is still the same.

But this means we don't need to defer 'kmem_cache_free(sighand)'.  We can
return the memory to slab immediately, all we need is to be sure that
sighand->siglock can't dissapear inside rcu protected section.

To do so we need to initialize ->siglock inside ctor function,
SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU does the rest.

d73d65293e [PATCH] pidhash: kill switch_exec_pids
switch_exec_pids is only called from de_thread by way of exec, and it is
only called when we are exec'ing from a non thread group leader.

Currently switch_exec_pids gives the leader the pid of the thread and
unhashes and rehashes all of the process groups.  The leader is already in
the EXIT_DEAD state so no one cares about it's pids.  The only concern for
the leader is that __unhash_process called from release_task will function
correctly.  If we don't touch the leader at all we know that
__unhash_process will work fine so there is no need to touch the leader.

For the task becomming the thread group leader, we just need to give it the
pid of the old thread group leader, add it to the task list, and attach it
to the session and the process group of the thread group.

Currently de_thread is also adding the task to the task list which is just
silly.

Currently the only leader of __detach_pid besides detach_pid is
switch_exec_pids because of the ugly extra work that was being
performed.

So this patch removes switch_exec_pids because it is doing too much, it is
creating an unnecessary special case in pid.c, duing work duplicated in
de_thread, and generally obscuring what it is going on.

The necessary work is added to de_thread, and it seems to be a little
clearer there what is going on.

1434261c07 [PATCH] simplify exec from init's subthread
I think it is enough to take tasklist_lock for reading while changing
child_reaper:

	Reparenting needs write_lock(tasklist_lock)

	Only one thread in a thread group can do exec()

	sighand->siglock garantees that get_signal_to_deliver()
	will not see a stale value of child_reaper.

This means that we can change child_reaper earlier, without calling
zap_other_threads() twice.

"child_reaper = current" is a NOOP when init does exec from main thread, we
don't care.

fef23e7fbb [PATCH] exec: allow init to exec from any thread.
After looking at the problem of init calling exec some more I figured out
an easy way to make the code work.

The actual symptom without out this patch is that all threads will die
except pid == 1, and the thread calling exec.  The thread calling exec will
wait forever for pid == 1 to die.

Since pid == 1 does not install a handler for SIGKILL it will never die.

This modifies the tests for init from current->pid == 1 to the equivalent
current == child_reaper.  And then it causes exec in the ugly case to
modify child_reaper.

The only weird symptom is that you wind up with an init process that
doesn't have the oldest start time on the box.

3c674e7423 Fixes a regression from the recent "remove ->get_blocks() support"
change.  inode->i_blkbits should be used when making a get_block_t
request of a filesystem instead of dio->blkbits, as that does not
indicate the filesystem block size all the time (depends on request
alignment - see start of __blockdev_direct_IO).
