Oleg Nesterov e752dd6cc6 [PATCH] fix send_sigqueue() vs thread exit race
posix_timer_event() first checks that the thread (SIGEV_THREAD_ID case)
does not have PF_EXITING flag, then it calls send_sigqueue() which locks
task list.  But if the thread exits in between the kernel will oops
(->sighand == NULL after __exit_sighand).

This patch moves the PF_EXITING check into the send_sigqueue(), it must be
done atomically under tasklist_lock.  When send_sigqueue() detects exiting
thread it returns -1.  In that case posix_timer_event will send the signal
to thread group.

Also, this patch fixes task_struct use-after-free in posix_timer_event.

Dave Johnson a97c9bf33f [PATCH] fix cramfs making duplicate entries in inode cache
Every time cramfs_lookup() is called to lookup and inode for a dentry,
get_cramfs_inode() will allocate a new inode without checking to see if that
inode already exists in the inode cache.

This is fine the first time, but if the dentry cache entry(ies) associated
with that inode are aged out, but the inode entry is not aged out (which can
be quite common if the inode has buffer cache linked to it), cramfs_lookup()
will be called again and another inode will be allocated and added to the
inode cache creating a duplicate in the inode cache.

The big issue here is that the buffers associated with each inode cache entry
are not shared between the duplicates!

The older inode entries are now orphaned as no dentry points to it and won't
be freed until the buffer cache assoicated with them are first freed.  The
newest entry will have to create all new buffer cache for each part of its
file as the old buffer cache is now orphaned as well.

Patch below fixes this by making get_cramfs_inode() use the inode cache before
blindly creating a new entry every time.  This eliminates the duplicate inodes
and duplicate buffer cache.

Jesper Juhl 0730ded5be [PATCH] remove a redundant variable in sys_prctl()
The patch removes a redundant variable `sig' from sys_prctl().

For some reason, when sys_prctl is called with option == PR_SET_PDEATHSIG
then the value of arg2 is assigned to an int variable named sig.  Then sig
is tested with valid_signal() and later used to set the value of
current->pdeath_signal .

There is no reason to use this intermediate variable since valid_signal()
takes a unsigned long argument, so it can handle being passed arg2
directly, and if the call to valid_signal is OK, then we know the value of
arg2 is in the range zero to _NSIG and thus it'll easily fit in a plain int
and thus there's no problem assigning it later to current->pdeath_signal
(which is an int).

The patch gets rid of the pointless variable `sig'.
This reduces the size of kernel/sys.o in 2.6.13-rc6-mm1 by 32 bytes on my
system.

Patch has been compile tested, boot tested, and just to make damn sure I
didn't break anything I wrote a quick test app that calls
prctl(PR_SET_PDEATHSIG ...) with the entire range of values for a
unsigned long, and it behaves as expected with and without the patch.

Peter Staubach 6c9c0b52b8 [PATCH] largefile support for accounting
There is a problem in the accounting subsystem in the kernel can not
correctly handle files larger than 2GB.  The output file containing the
process accounting data can grow very large if the system is large enough
and active enough.  If the 2GB limit is reached, then the system simply
stops storing process accounting data.

Another annoying problem is that once the system reaches this 2GB limit,
then every process which exits will receive a signal, SIGXFSZ.  This signal
is generated because an attempt was made to write beyond the limit for the
file descriptor.  This signal makes it look like every process has exited
due to a signal, when in fact, they have not.

The solution is to add the O_LARGEFILE flag to the list of flags used to
open the accounting file.  The rest of the accounting support is already
largefile safe.

The changes were tested by constructing a large file (just short of 2GB),
enabling accounting, and then running enough commands to cause the
accounting data generated to increase the size of the file to 2GB.  Without
the changes, the file grows to 2GB and the last command run in the test
script appears to exit due a signal when it has not.  With the changes,
things work as expected and quietly.

There are some user level changes required so that it can deal with
largefiles, but those are being handled separately.

TIOCL_BLANKSCREEN and TIOCL_UNBLANKSCREEN.

(I'm blind and I use a braille display.  I use those functions to blank my

David Gibson 96d0821cac [PATCH] Fix function/macro name collision on i386 oprofile
The i386 OProfile code has a function named nmi_exit(), which collides with
the nmi_exit() macro in linux/hardirq.h.  At the moment, we get away with
it, because hardirq.h isn't included in the oprofile code.  I hit this as a
bug when working with a patch which (indirectly) adds a #include of
hardirq.h to oprofile.

Regardless, the name collision is probably not a good idea, so this patch
fixes it, renaming the oprofile function to op_nmi_exit().  It also renames
the nmi_init() and nmi_timer_init() functions similarly, for consistency.

Olof Johansson ffdfc40976 [PATCH] Add rdinit parameter to pick early userspace init
Since early userspace was added, there's no way to override which init to
run from it.  Some people tack on an extra cpio archive with a link from
/init depending on what they want to run, but that's sometimes impractical.

Changing the "init=" to also override the early userspace isn't feasible,
since it is still used to indicate what init to run from disk when early
userspace has completed doing whatever it's doing (i.e.  load filesystem
modules and drivers).

Instead, introduce "rdinit=" and make it override the default "/init" if
specified.

Karsten Wiese f3ef6f63e5 [PATCH] Speedup FAT filesystem directory reads
OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp>

This speeds up directory reads for large FAT partitions, if the buffercache
has to be filled from the drive. Following values were taken from:

        $ time find path_to_freshly_mounted_fat > /dev/null

on an otherwise idle system.

FAT with 16KB Clusters on IDE attached drive:   Factor  2
FAT with 32KB Clusters on USB2 attached drive:  Factor 10 (!)
Its less than 1/10 slower, if the buffercache is uptodate.

The patch introduces the new function fat_dir_readahead().

fat_dir_readahead() calls sb_breadahead() to readahead a whole cluster,
if the requested sector is the first one in a cluster.
It is usefull to do this, because on FAT directories occupy whole
clusters, with the exception of FAT12/FAT16 root dirs.

Readahead is only done, if the cluster's first sector is not uptodate
to avoid overhead, when the buffer cache is already uptodate.
Note that under memory pressure, the maximal byte count wasted
(read: has to be red from disk twice) is 1 cluster's size.  Thats 64KB.

fat_dir_readahead() is called from fat__get_entry().

There is also an unrelated cleanup at one spot:

        if (bh)
                brelse(bh);

is replaced with:

        brelse(bh);

brelse() can handle NULL pointer arguments by itself.

Bruce Allan f35279d3f7 [PATCH] sunrpc: cache_register can use wrong module reference
When registering an RPC cache, cache_register() always sets the owner as the
sunrpc module.  However, there are RPC caches owned by other modules.  With
the incorrect owner setting, the real owning module can be removed potentially
with an open reference to the cache from userspace.

For example, if one were to stop the nfs server and unmount the nfsd
filesystem, the nfsd module could be removed eventhough rpc.idmapd had
references to the idtoname and nametoid caches (i.e.
/proc/net/rpc/nfs4.<cachename>/channel is still open).  This resulted in a
system panic on one of our machines when attempting to restart the nfs
services after reloading the nfsd module.

The following patch adds a 'struct module *owner' field in struct
cache_detail.  The owner is further assigned to the struct proc_dir_entry
in cache_register() so that the module cannot be unloaded while user-space
daemons have an open reference on the associated file under /proc.

Use the DMA_32BIT_MASK constant from dma-mapping.h when calling
pci_set_dma_mask() or pci_set_consistent_dma_mask() This patch includes
dma-mapping.h explicitly because it caused errors on some architectures
otherwise.  See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108001993000001&r=1&w=2 for

Steven Pratt 3b30bbd963 [PATCH] readahead: reset cache_hit earlier
We don't reset the cache hit count until after readahead does a successful
readahead.  This seems to leave a corner case open where we miss in cache,
but don't restart the readhead right away.

Bjorn Helgaas e139aa595c [PATCH] PNP: make pnp_dbg conditional directly on CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG
Seems pointless to require .c files to test CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG and
conditionally define DEBUG before including <linux/pnp.h>.  Just test
CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG directly in pnp.h.

Alex Williamson 486d46aefe [PATCH] optimize writer path in time_interpolator_get_counter()
Christoph Lameter <clameter@engr.sgi.com>

When using a time interpolator that is susceptible to jitter there's
potentially contention over a cmpxchg used to prevent time from going
backwards.  This is unnecessary when the caller holds the xtime write
seqlock as all readers will be blocked from returning until the write is
complete.  We can therefore allow writers to insert a new value and exit
rather than fight with CPUs who only hold a reader lock.

Erik Waling d2052c1676 [PATCH] sonypi SPIC initialisation fix
Newer Sony VAIO models (VGN-S480, VGN-S460, VGN-S3XP etc) use a new method to
initialize the SPIC device.  The new way to initialize (and disable) the
device comes directly from the AML code in the _CRS, _SRS and _DIS methods
from the DSDT table.  This patch adds support for the new models.

Avery, Brian c1d7ef70a7 [PATCH] Add warning `init=' to init/main.c
I passed init=/mylinuxrc to the kernel on the command line.  The kernel
silently dropped down to exec /sbin/init.  It turned out that /mylinuxrc
had improper permissions.  Without any warning message from the kernel that
something was wrong it took awhile to find the issue.  The patch below adds
a warning.

Mark Bellon 8fc2751beb [PATCH] disk quotas fail when /etc/mtab is symlinked to /proc/mounts
If /etc/mtab is a regular file all of the mount options (of a file system)
are written to /etc/mtab by the mount command.  The quota tools look there
for the quota strings for their operation.  If, however, /etc/mtab is a
symlink to /proc/mounts (a "good thing" in some environments) the tools
don't write anything - they assume the kernel will take care of things.

While the quota options are sent down to the kernel via the mount system
call and the file system codes handle them properly unfortunately there is
no code to echo the quota strings into /proc/mounts and the quota tools
fail in the symlink case.

The attached patchs modify the EXT[2|3] and JFS codes to add the necessary
hooks.  The show_options function of each file system in these patches
currently deal with only those things that seemed related to quotas;
especially in the EXT3 case more can be done (later?).

Jan Kara also noted the difficulty in moving these changes above the FS
codes responding similarly to myself to Andrew's comment about possible
VFS migration. Issue summary:

 - FS codes have to process the entire string of options anyway.

 - Only FS codes that use quotas must have a show_options function (for
   quotas to work properly) however quotas are only used in a small number
   of FS.

 - Since most of the quota using FS support other options these FS codes
   should have the a show_options function to show those options - and the
   quota echoing becomes virtually negligible.

Based on feedback I have modified my patches from the original:

   JFS a missing patch has been restored to the posting
   EXT[2|3] and JFS always use the show_options function
       - Each FS has at least one FS specific option displayed
       - QUOTA output is under a CONFIG_QUOTA ifdef
       - a follow-on patch will add a multitude of options for each FS
   EXT[2|3] and JFS "quota" is treated as "usrquota"
   EXT3 journalled data check for journalled quota removed
   EXT[2|3] mount when quota specified but not compiled in

 - no changes from my original patch.  I tested the patch and the codes
   warn but

 - still mount.  With all due respection I believe the comments
   otherwise were a

 - misread of the patch.  Please reread/test and comment.  XFS patch
   removed - the XFS team already made the necessary changes EXT3 mixing
   old and new quotas are handled differently (not purely exclusive)

 - if old and new quotas for the same type are used together the old
   type is silently depricated for compatability (e.g.  usrquota and
   usrjquota)

 - mixing of old and new quotas is an error (e.g.  usrjquota and
   grpquota)
