Jiri Slaby 40565f1962 [PATCH] Char: timers cleanup
- Use timer macros to set function and data members and to modify
  expiration time.
- Use DEFINE_TIMER for global timers and do not init them at run-time in
  these cases.
- del_timer_sync is common in most cases -- we want to wait for timer
  function if it's still running.

Mike Frysinger eb5857084c [PATCH] export ufs_fs.h to userspace
Was ufs_fs.h purposefully not exported to userspace or did it just slip
through the cracks ?  assuming the latter scenario, the attached patch touches
up the relationship between ufs_fs.h and its sub headers (like ufs_fs_sb.h) so
that we can export it ...  the silo bootloader takes advantage of this header
for example.

Eric Dumazet 163da958ba [PATCH] FS: speed up rw_verify_area()
oprofile hunting showed a stall in rw_verify_area(), because of triple
indirection and potential cache misses.
(file->f_path.dentry->d_inode->i_flock)

By moving initialization of 'struct inode' pointer before the pos/count
sanity tests, we allow the compiler and processor to perform two loads by
anticipation, reducing stall, without prefetch() hints.  Even x86 arch has
enough registers to not use temporary variables and not increase text size.

I validated this patch running a bench and studied oprofile changes, and
absolute perf of the test program.

Results of my epoll_pipe_bench (source available on request) on a Pentium-M
1.6 GHz machine

Before :
# ./epoll_pipe_bench -l 30 -t 20
Avg: 436089 evts/sec read_count=8843037 write_count=8843040 21.218390 samples
per call
(best value out of 10 runs)

After :
# ./epoll_pipe_bench -l 30 -t 20
Avg: 470980 evts/sec read_count=9549871 write_count=9549894 21.216694 samples
per call
(best value out of 10 runs)

oprofile CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events gave a reduction from 5.3401 % to 2.5851 %
for the rw_verify_area() function.

Eric W. Biederman bc1fc6d88c [PATCH] ipc: save the ipc namespace while reading proc files
The problem we were assuming that current->nsproxy->ipc_ns would never
change while someone has our file in /proc/sysvipc/ file open.  Given that
this can change with both unshare and by passing the file descriptor to
another process that assumption is occasionally wrong.

Therefore this patch causes /proc/sysvipc/* to cache the namespace and
increment it's count when we open the file and to decrement the count when
we close the file, ensuring consistent operation with no surprises.

Alan Cox 3f05044715 [PATCH] kernel: shut up the IRQ mismatch messages
The problem is various drivers legally validly and sensibly try to claim
IRQs but the kernel insists on vomiting forth a giant irrelevant debugging
spew when the types clash.

Edit kernel/irq/manage.c go down to mismatch: in setup_irq() and ifdef out
the if clause that checks for mismatches.  It'll then just do the right
thing and work sanely.

For the current -mm kernel this will do the trick (and moves it into shared
irq debugging as in debug mode the info spew is useful).  I've had a
variant of this in my private tree for some time as I got fed up on the
mess on boxes where old legacy IRQs get reused.

Nick Piggin f9e4acf3be [PATCH] inotify: read return val fix
Fix for inotify read bug (bugzilla.kernel.org #6999)

Problem Description:
When reading from an inotify device with an insufficient sized buffer, read(2)
will return 0 with no errno set. This is because of an logically incorrect
action from the user program thus should return an more logical value. My
suggestion is return -EINVAL as for bind(2).

This patch is based on the proposal from Ryan <wolf0403@hotmail.com>, and
feedback from John McCutchan <john@johnmccutchan.com>.

Return -EINVAL if we have not passed in enough buffer space to read a single
inotify event, rather than 0 which indicates that there is nothing to read.

Christoph Hellwig d003fb70fd [PATCH] remove sb->s_files and file_list_lock usage in dquot.c
Iterate over sb->s_inodes instead of sb->s_files in add_dquot_ref.  This
reduces list search and lock hold time aswell as getting rid of one of the
few uses of file_list_lock which Ingo identified as a scalability problem.

Previously we called dq_op->initialize for every inode handing of a
writeable file that wasn't initialized before.  Now we're calling it for
every inode that has a non-zero i_writecount, aka a writeable file
descriptor refering to it.

Andreas Gruenbacher eb3dfb0cb1 [PATCH] Fix d_path for lazy unmounts
Here is a bugfix to d_path.

First, when d_path() hits a lazily unmounted mount point, it tries to
prepend the name of the lazily unmounted dentry to the path name.  It gets
this wrong, and also overwrites the slash that separates the name from the
following pathname component.  This is demonstrated by the attached test
case, which prints "getcwd returned d_path-bugsubdir" with the bug.  The
correct result would be "getcwd returned d_path-bug/subdir".

It could be argued that the name of the root dentry should not be part of
the result of d_path in the first place.  On the other hand, what the
unconnected namespace was once reachable as may provide some useful hints
to users, and so that seems okay.

Second, it isn't always possible to tell from the __d_path result whether
the specified root and rootmnt (i.e., the chroot) was reached: lazy
unmounts of bind mounts will produce a path that does start with a
non-slash so we can tell from that, but other lazy unmounts will produce a
path that starts with a slash, just like "ordinary" paths.

The attached patch cleans up __d_path() to fix the bug with overlapping
pathname components.  It also adds a @fail_deleted argument, which allows
to get rid of some of the mess in sys_getcwd().  Grabbing the dcache_lock
can then also be moved into __d_path().  The patch also makes sure that
paths will only start with a slash for paths which are connected to the
root and rootmnt.

The @fail_deleted argument could be added to d_path() as well: this would
allow callers to recognize deleted files, without having to resort to the
ambiguous check for the " (deleted)" string at the end of the pathnames.
This is not currently done, but it might be worthwhile.

Andrew Morton 215122e111 [PATCH] register_chrdev_region() don't hand out the LOCAL/EXPERIMENTAL majors
As pointed out in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7922, dynamic
chardev major allocation can hand out majors which LANANA has defined as being
for local/experimental use.

David Chinner 6ab8eb1cff [PATCH] Make XFS use BH_Unwritten and BH_Delay correctly
Don't hide buffer_unwritten behind buffer_delay() and remove the hack that
clears unexpected buffer_unwritten() states now that it can't happen.

David Chinner 33a266dda9 [PATCH] Make BH_Unwritten a first class bufferhead flag V2
Currently, XFS uses BH_PrivateStart for flagging unwritten extent state in a
bufferhead.  Recently, I found the long standing mmap/unwritten extent
conversion bug, and it was to do with partial page invalidation not clearing
the unwritten flag from bufferheads attached to the page but beyond EOF.  See
here for a full explaination:

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00196.html

The solution I have checked into the XFS dev tree involves duplicating code
from block_invalidatepage to clear the unwritten flag from the bufferhead(s),
and then calling block_invalidatepage() to do the rest.

Christoph suggested that this would be better solved by pushing the unwritten
flag into the common buffer head flags and just adding the call to
discard_buffer():

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00239.html

The following patch makes BH_Unwritten a first class citizen.
