There's no reason not to support cache flushing on external log devices.
The only thing this really requires is flushing the data device first
both in fsync and log commits. A side effect is that we also have to
remove the barrier write test during mount, which has been superflous
since the new FLUSH+FUA code anyway. Also use the chance to flush the
RT subvolume write cache before the fsync commit, which is required
for correct semantics.

I've got a report of a file corruption from fsxlinux on ext3. The important
operations to the page were:
mapwrite to a hole
partial write to the page
read - found the page zeroed from the end of the normal write
The culprit seems to be that if get_block() fails in __block_write_begin()
(e.g. transient ENOSPC in ext3), the function does ClearPageUptodate(page).
Thus when we retry the write, the logic in __block_write_begin() thinks zeroing
of the page is needed and overwrites old data. In fact, I don't see why we
should ever need to zero the uptodate bit here - either the page was uptodate
when we entered __block_write_begin() and it should stay so when we leave it,
or it was not uptodate and noone had right to set it uptodate during
__block_write_begin() so it remains !uptodate when we leave as well. So just
remove clearing of the bit.

afs_fill_page should read the page that is about to be written but
the current implementation has a number of issues. If we aren't
extending the file we always read PAGE_CACHE_SIZE at offset 0. If we
are extending the file we try to read the entire file.
Change afs_fill_page to read PAGE_CACHE_SIZE at the right offset,
clamped to i_size.
While here, avoid calling afs_fill_page when we are doing a
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE write.

[Kudos to dhowells for tracking that crap down]
If two processes attempt to cause automounting on the same mountpoint at the
same time, the vfsmount holding the mountpoint will be left with one too few
references on it, causing a BUG when the kernel tries to clean up.
The problem is that lock_mount() drops the caller's reference to the
mountpoint's vfsmount in the case where it finds something already mounted on
the mountpoint as it transits to the mounted filesystem and replaces path->mnt
with the new mountpoint vfsmount.
During a pathwalk, however, we don't take a reference on the vfsmount if it is
the same as the one in the nameidata struct, but do_add_mount() doesn't know
this.
The fix is to make sure we have a ref on the vfsmount of the mountpoint before
calling do_add_mount(). However, if lock_mount() doesn't transit, we're then
left with an extra ref on the mountpoint vfsmount which needs releasing.
We can handle that in follow_managed() by not making assumptions about what
we can and what we cannot get from lookup_mnt() as the current code does.
The callers of follow_managed() expect that reference to path->mnt will be
grabbed iff path->mnt has been changed. follow_managed() and follow_automount()
keep track of whether such reference has been grabbed and assume that it'll
happen in those and only those cases that'll have us return with changed
path->mnt. That assumption is almost correct - it breaks in case of
racing automounts and in even harder to hit race between following a mountpoint
and a couple of mount --move. The thing is, we don't need to make that
assumption at all - after the end of loop in follow_manage() we can check
if path->mnt has ended up unchanged and do mntput() if needed.
The BUG can be reproduced with the following test program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int pid, ws;
struct stat buf;
pid = fork();
stat(argv[1], &buf);
if (pid > 0) wait(&ws);
return 0;
}
and the following procedure:
(1) Mount an NFS volume that on the server has something else mounted on a
subdirectory. For instance, I can mount / from my server:
mount warthog:/ /mnt -t nfs4 -r
On the server /data has another filesystem mounted on it, so NFS will see
a change in FSID as it walks down the path, and will mark /mnt/data as
being a mountpoint. This will cause the automount code to be triggered.
!!! Do not look inside the mounted fs at this point !!!
(2) Run the above program on a file within the submount to generate two
simultaneous automount requests:
/tmp/forkstat /mnt/data/testfile
(3) Unmount the automounted submount:
umount /mnt/data
(4) Unmount the original mount:
umount /mnt
At this point the kernel should throw a BUG with something like the
following:
BUG: Dentry ffff880032e3c5c0{i=2,n=} still in use (1) [unmount of nfs4 0:12]
Note that the bug appears on the root dentry of the original mount, not the
mountpoint and not the submount because sys_umount() hasn't got to its final
mntput_no_expire() yet, but this isn't so obvious from the call trace:

[<ffffffff8109e1ca>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x1fd/0x22f
[<ffffffff816ea86b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
as do_umount() is inlined. However, you can see release_mounts() in there.
Note also that it may be necessary to have multiple CPU cores to be able to
trigger this bug.

A reliable way to reproduce this bug is:
Login to KDE, run 'rsnapshot sync', and apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk,
and apt-get remove openjdk-6-jdk.
The buggy part of the patch is this:
struct inode *inode = NULL;
.....
- if (nd.last.name[nd.last.len])
- goto slashes;
inode = dentry->d_inode;
- if (inode)
- ihold(inode);
+ if (nd.last.name[nd.last.len] || !inode)
+ goto slashes;
+ ihold(inode)
...
if (inode)
iput(inode); /* truncate the inode here */
If nd.last.name[nd.last.len] is nonzero (and thus goto slashes branch is taken),
and dentry->d_inode is non-NULL, then this code now does an additional iput on
the inode, which is wrong.
Fix this by only setting the inode variable if nd.last.name[nd.last.len] is 0.

By default, when broadcast or multicast packet are sent from a local
application, they are sent to the interface then looped by the kernel
to other local applications, going throught netfilter hooks in the
process.
These looped packet have their MAC header removed from the skb by the
kernel looping code. This confuse various netfilter's netlink queue,
netlink log and the legacy ip_queue, because they try to extract a
hardware address from these packets, but extracts a part of the IP
header instead.
This patch prevent NFQUEUE, NFLOG and ip_QUEUE to include a MAC header
if there is none in the packet.

We have some users of this function that date back to before the vma
list was doubly linked, and just are silly. These days, you can find
the previous vma by just following the vma->vm_prev pointer.
In some cases you don't need any find_vma() lookup at all, and in other
cases you're better off with the regular "find_vma()" that uses the vma
cache front-end lookup.
Some "find_vma_prev()" users are still valid, though. For example, in
the case of a stack that grows up, it can be the case that we don't find
any 'vma' at all (because we're looking up an address that is past the
last vma), and that the stack that we want to grow is the 'prev' vma.
But that kind of special case aside, we generally should prefer to use
'find_vma()'.
Noticed due to a totally unrelated POWER memory corruption bug that just
happened to hit in 'find_vma_prev()' and made me go "Hmm - why are we
using that function here?".

arch/um/sys-x86_64/shared/sysdep/vm-flags.h:
#define VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS \
(test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) ? vm_stack_flags32 : vm_stack_flags)
#define VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS vm_stack_flags
(yes, seriously: two different #define's for that thing, with the first
one being inside an "#ifdef TIF_IA32")
It's possible that it is UML that should just be fixed in this area, but
for now let's just undo the (very small) optimization.

When interrupts are delayed due to interrupt masking or due to other
interrupts being serviced the HPET periodic-emuation would fail. This
happened because given an interval t and a time for the current interrupt
m we would compute the next time as t + m. This works until we are
delayed for > t, in which case we would be writing a new value which is in
fact in the past.
This can be solved by computing the next time instead as (k * t) + m where
k is large enough to be in the future. The exact computation of k is
described in a comment to the code.
More detail:
Assuming an interval of 5 between each expected interrupt we have a normal
case of
t0: interrupt, read t0 from comparator, set next interrupt t0 + 5
t5: interrupt, read t5 from comparator, set next interrupt t5 + 5
t10: interrupt, read t10 from comparator, set next interrupt t10 + 5
...
So, what happens when the interrupt is serviced too late?
t0: interrupt, read t0 from comparator, set next interrupt t0 + 5
t11: delayed interrupt serviced, read t5 from comparator, set next
interrupt t5 + 5, which is in the past!
... counter loops ...
t10: Much much later, get the next interrupt.
This can happen either because we have interrupts masked for too long
(some stupid driver goes on a printk rampage) or just because we are
pushing the limits of the interval (too small a period), or both most
probably.
My solution is to read the main counter as well and set the next interrupt
to occur at the right interval, for example:
t0: interrupt, read t0 from comparator, set next interrupt t0 + 5
t11: delayed interrupt serviced, read t5 from comparator, set next
interrupt t15 as t10 has been missed.
t15: back on track.

Asynchronous compaction is used when promoting to huge pages. This is all
very nice but if there are a number of processes in compacting memory, a
large number of pages can be isolated. An "asynchronous" process can
stall for long periods of time as a result with a user reporting that
firefox can stall for 10s of seconds. This patch aborts asynchronous
compaction if too many pages are isolated as it's better to fail a
hugepage promotion than stall a process.

It is unsafe to run page_count during the physical pfn scan because
compound_head could trip on a dangling pointer when reading
page->first_page if the compound page is being freed by another CPU.

Compaction works with two scanners, a migration and a free scanner. When
the scanners crossover, migration within the zone is complete. The
location of the scanner is recorded on each cycle to avoid excesive
scanning.
When a zone is small and mostly reserved, it's very easy for the migration
scanner to be close to the end of the zone. Then the following situation
can occurs
o migration scanner isolates some pages near the end of the zone
o free scanner starts at the end of the zone but finds that the
migration scanner is already there
o free scanner gets reinitialised for the next cycle as
cc->migrate_pfn + pageblock_nr_pages
moving the free scanner into the next zone
o migration scanner moves into the next zone
When this happens, NR_ISOLATED accounting goes haywire because some of the
accounting happens against the wrong zone. One zones counter remains
positive while the other goes negative even though the overall global
count is accurate. This was reported on X86-32 with !SMP because !SMP
allows the negative counters to be visible. The fact that it is the bug
should theoritically be possible there.
