Revert all this. It can cause device-mapper to receive a different major from
earlier kernels and it turns out that the Amanda backup program (via GNU tar,
apparently) checks major numbers on files when performing incremental backups.
Which is a bit broken of Amanda (or tar), but this feature isn't important
enough to justify the churn.

Revert e92a4d595b.
Dmitry points out
"When we block_prepare_write() failed while ext3_prepare_write() we jump to
"failure" label and call ext3_prepare_failure() witch search last mapped bh
and invoke commit_write untill it. This is wrong!! because some bh from
begining to the last mapped bh may be not uptodate. As a result we commit to
disk not uptodate page content witch contains garbage from previous usage."
and
"Unexpected file size increasing."
Call trace the same as it was in first issue but result is different.
For example we have file with i_size is zero. we want write two blocks ,
but fs has only one free block.
->ext3_prepare_write(...from == 0, to == 2048)
retry:
->block_prepare_write() == -ENOSPC# we failed but allocated one block here.
->ext3_prepare_failure()
->commit_write( from == 0, to == 1024) # after this i_size becomes 1024 :)
if (ret == -ENOSPC && ext3_should_retry_alloc(inode->i_sb, &retries))
goto retry;
Finally when all retries will be spended ext3_prepare_failure return
-ENOSPC, but i_size was increased and later block trimm procedures can't
help here.
We don't appear to have the horsepower to fix these issues, so let's put
things back the way they were for now.

Stealing pages with splice is problematic because we cannot just insert

We also cannot just ClearPageUptodate, then hope prepare_write does not

that guarantee.
Remove support for SPLICE_F_MOVE for now. If we really want to bring it
back, we might be able to do so with a the new filesystem buffered write

$1 = 0xc3458000
(gdb) p/x 3276141668
$2 = 0xc345f464

This bug was seen on ppc64, but it could have occurred on any
architecture with a page size of 64k or above. The problem is that in
fs/binfmt_elf.c:randomize_stack_top() randomizes the stack to within
0x7ff pages. On 4k page machines, this is 8MB; on 64k page boxes, this
is 128MB.
The problem is that the new binary layout (selected in
arch_pick_mmap_layout) places the mapping segment 128MB or the stack
rlimit away from the top of the process memory, whichever is larger. If
you chose an rlimit of less than 128MB (most defaults are in the 8Mb
range) then you can end up having your entire stack randomized away.
The fix is to make randomize_stack_top() only steal at most 8MB, which this
patch does. However, I have to point out that even with this, your stack
rlimit might not be exactly what you get if it's > 128MB, because you're
still losing the random offset of up to 8MB.
The true fix should be to leave an explicit gap for the randomization plus
a buffer when determining mmap_base, but that would involve fixing all the
architectures.

The current NFS client congestion logic is severly broken, it marks the

mirror this in nfs_writepage() which makes for deadlocks. Also it
implements its own waitqueue.
Replace this by a more regular congestion implementation that puts a cap on
the number of active writeback pages and uses the bdi congestion waitqueue.
Also always use an interruptible wait since it makes sense to be able to

This patch (as869) reinstates the mutual exclusion between sysfs
attribute method calls and attribute unregistration. The
previously-reported deadlocks have been fixed, and this exclusion is
by far the simplest way to avoid races during driver unbinding.
The check for orphaned read-buffers has been moved down slightly, so
that the remainder of a partially-read buffer will still be available
to userspace even after the attribute has been unregistered.

This patch (as868) adds a helper routine for device drivers that need
to set up a callback to perform some action in a different process's
context. This is intended for use by attribute methods that want to
unregister themselves or their parent device. Attribute method calls
are mutually exclusive with unregistration, so such actions cannot be
taken directly.
Two attribute methods are converted to use the new helper routine: one
for SCSI device deletion and one for System/390 ccwgroup devices.
