Provide a function device_move() to move a device to a new parent device. Add
auxilliary functions kobject_move() and sysfs_move_dir().
kobject_move() generates a new uevent of type KOBJ_MOVE, containing the
previous path (DEVPATH_OLD) in addition to the usual values. For this, a new
interface kobject_uevent_env() is created that allows to add further
environmental data to the uevent at the kobject layer.

since most of the files in sysfs are text files,
it would be nice, if the "store" function called
during sysfs_write_file() gets a zero terminated
string / data.
The current implementation seems not to ensure this.
(But only if it is the first time the zeroed buffer
page is allocated.)
So the buffer can be scanned by sscanf() easily,
for example.
This patch simply sets a \0 char behind the

The target mode support is mapping in bios using bio_map_user. The
current targets do not need their len to be aligned with a queue limit
so this check is causing some problems. Note: pointers passed into the
kernel are properly aligned by usersapace tgt code so the uaddr check
in bio_map_user is ok.
The major user, blk_bio_map_user checks for the len before mapping
so it is not affected by this patch.
And the semi-newly added user blk_rq_map_user_iov has been failing
out when the len is not aligned properly so maybe people have been
good and not sending misaligned lens or that path is not used very
often and this change will not be very dangerous. st and sg do not
check the length and we have not seen any problem reports from those
wider used paths so this patch should be fairly safe - for mm

The gfs2_fsync() function was doing a journal flush on each
and every call. While this is correct, its also a lot of
overhead. This patch means that on fdatasync flushes we
rely on the VFS to flush the data for us and we don't do
a journal flush unless we really need to.
We have to do a journal flush for stuffed files though because
they have the data and the inode metadata in the same block.
Journaled files also need a journal flush too of course.

While mounting the gfs2 filesystem,our test team had a problem and we
got this error message.
=======================================================
GFS2: fsid=: Trying to join cluster "lock_nolock", "dasde1"
GFS2: fsid=dasde1.0: Joined cluster. Now mounting FS...
GFS2: not a GFS2 filesystem
GFS2: fsid=dasde1.0: can't read superblock: -22
==========================================================================
On debugging further we found that problem is while reading the super
block(gfs2_read_super) and comparing the magic number in it.
When I replace the submit_bio() call(present in gfs2_read_super) with
the sb_getblk() and ll_rw_block(), mount operation succeded.
On further analysis we found that before calling submit_bio(),
bio->bi_sector was set to "sector" variable. This "sector" variable has
the same value of bh->b_blocknr(block number). Hence there is a need to
multiply this valuwith (blocksize >> 9)(9 because,sector size
2^9,samething happens in ll_rw_block also, before calling submit_bio()).
So I have developed the patch which solves this problem. Please let me
know your comments.

We often abort a recovery after sending a status request to a remote node.
We want to ignore any potential status reply we get from the remote node.
If we get one of these unwanted replies, we've often moved on to the next
recovery message and incremented the message sequence counter, so the
reply will be ignored due to the seq number. In some cases, we've not
moved on to the next message so the seq number of the reply we want to
ignore is still correct, causing the reply to be accepted. The next
recovery message will then mistake this old reply as a new one.
To fix this, we add the flag RCOM_WAIT to indicate when we can accept a
new reply. We clear this flag if we abort recovery while waiting for a
reply. Before the flag is set again (to allow new replies) we know that
any old replies will be rejected due to their sequence number. We also
initialize the recovery-message sequence number to a random value when a
lockspace is first created. This makes it clear when messages are being
rejected from an old instance of a lockspace that has since been
recreated.

Requests that arrive after recovery has started are saved in the
requestqueue and processed after recovery is done. Some of these requests
are purged during recovery if they are from nodes that have been removed.
We move the purging of the requests (dlm_purge_requestqueue) to later in
the recovery sequence which allows the routine saving requests
(dlm_add_requestqueue) to avoid filtering out requests by nodeid since the
same will be done by the purge. The current code has add_requestqueue
filtering by nodeid but doesn't hold any locks when accessing the list of
current nodes. This also means that we need to call the purge routine
when the lockspace is being shut down since the add routine will not be
rejecting requests itself any more.

This fixes a bug which resulted in poor performance due to flushing
the journal too often. The code path in question was via the inode_go_sync()
function in glops.c. The solution is not to flush the journal immediately
when inodes are ejected from memory, but batch up the work for glockd to
deal with later on. This means that glocks may now live on beyond the end of
the lifetime of their inodes (but not very much longer in the normal case).
Also fixed in this patch is a bug (which was hidden by the bug mentioned above) in
calculation of the number of free journal blocks.
The gfs2_logd process has been altered to be more responsive to the journal
filling up. We now wake it up when the number of uncommitted journal blocks
has reached the threshold level rather than trying to flush directly at the
end of each transaction. This again means doing fewer, but larger, log
flushes in general.

When many nodes are joining a lockspace simultaneously, the dlm gets a
quick sequence of stop/start events, a pair for adding each node.
dlm_controld in user space sends dlm_recoverd in the kernel each stop and
start event. dlm_controld will sometimes send the stop before
dlm_recoverd has had a chance to take up the previously queued start. The
stop aborts the processing of the previous start by setting the
RECOVERY_STOP flag. dlm_recoverd is erroneously clearing this flag and
ignoring the stop/abort if it happens to take up the start after the stop
meant to abort it. The fix is to check the sequence number that's
incremented for each stop/start before clearing the flag.

Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the

Separate delayable work items from non-delayable work items be splitting them
into a separate structure (delayed_work), which incorporates a work_struct and
the timer_list removed from work_struct.
The work_struct struct is huge, and this limits it's usefulness. On a 64-bit
architecture it's nearly 100 bytes in size. This reduces that by half for the
non-delayable type of event.

(David:)
If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example,
because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff
will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path.
But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path
will call unmap_region() on it. That will eventually call down to the
non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range(). On ppc64, at least, that will
cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in
the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the
same PUD. unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud
entries. I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't
have a machine to test it on.
(Hugh:)
prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks
virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from
unmapping before it fails further down. PowerPC should apply the same
prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do.
Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor
is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of
VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if
hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region
when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad
behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge
mappings into a separate region of the address space.

[CIFS] NFS stress test generates flood of "close with pending write" messages
The previous fixes for the use after free in xfs_iunpin left a nasty log
deadlock when xfslogd unpinned the inode and dropped the last reference to
the inode. the ->clear_inode() method can issue transactions, and if the
log was full, the transaction could push on the log and get stuck trying
to push the inode it was currently unpinning.
To fix this, we provide xfs_iunpin a guarantee that it will always have a
valid xfs_inode <-> linux inode link or a particular flag will be set on
the inode. We then use log forces during lookup to ensure transactions are
completed before we recycle the inode. This ensures that xfs_iunpin will
never use the linux inode after it is being freed, and any lookup on an
inode on the reclaim list will wait until it is safe to attach a new linux
inode to the xfs inode.

When users do not specify their domain on mount, 2.6.18 started sending

their domain name on mounts to certain common Windows servers that were
members of a domain, but not the domain controller, would get mount
failures which they did not get in 2.6.18
This fixes that issue and should remove complaints about mount

The user.* extended attributes are only allowed on regular files and

The original check in ext2/ext3 when user.* xattrs were merged was more
restrictive than intended, and when the xattr permission checks were moved
into the VFS, read access to user.* attributes on sticky directores ended
up being denied in addition.

Cause for this problem was,2 successive mutex_lock calls on 2 diffrent inodes ,as shown below
static int
nfsd4_clear_clid_dir(struct dentry *dir, struct dentry *dentry)
{
int status;
/* For now this directory should already be empty, but we empty it of
* any regular files anyway, just in case the directory was created by
* a kernel from the future.... */
nfsd4_list_rec_dir(dentry, nfsd4_remove_clid_file);
mutex_lock(&dir->d_inode->i_mutex);
status = vfs_rmdir(dir->d_inode, dentry);
...
int vfs_rmdir(struct inode *dir, struct dentry *dentry)
{
int error = may_delete(dir, dentry, 1);
if (error)
return error;
if (!dir->i_op || !dir->i_op->rmdir)
return -EPERM;
DQUOT_INIT(dir);
mutex_lock(&dentry->d_inode->i_mutex);
...
So I have developed the patch to overcome this problem.

1 and 2 are successful cases. But for case 2, someone has to free the
unused struct bd_holder.

However as far as I see this comment is not correct: when we cannot take
s_umount rw_semaphore (for example because it was taken in do_remount) this
dentry is already extracted from dentry_unused list and we do not add it
into the list again. Therefore dentry will not be found by prune_dcache()
and shrink_dcache_sb() and will leave in memory very long time until the
partition will be unmounted.
The patch adds this dentry into tail of the dentry_unused list.

hugetlb_vmtruncate_list was misconverted to prio_tree: its prio_tree is in
units of PAGE_SIZE (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE) like any other, not HPAGE_SIZE (whereas
its radix_tree is kept in units of HPAGE_SIZE, otherwise slots would be
absurdly sparse).
At first I thought the error benign, just calling __unmap_hugepage_range on
more vmas than necessary; but on 32-bit machines, when the prio_tree is
searched correctly, it happens to ensure the v_offset calculation won't
overflow. As it stood, when truncating at or beyond 4GB, it was liable to
discard pages COWed from lower offsets; or even to clear pmd entries of
preceding vmas, triggering exit_mmap's BUG_ON(nr_ptes).

On 32-bit machines, mount -t hugetlbfs -o size=4G gave a 0GB filesystem,
size=5G gave a 1GB filesystem etc: there's no point in masking size with
HPAGE_MASK just before shifting its lower bits away, and since HPAGE_MASK is a
UL, that removed all the higher bits of the unsigned long long size.

When running several fsx's and other filesystem stress tests, we found
cases where an unmapped buffer was still being sent to submit_bh by the
ext3 dirty data journaling code.
I saw this happen in two ways, both related to another thread doing a
truncate which would unmap the buffer in question.
Either we would get into journal_dirty_data with a bh which was already
unmapped (although journal_dirty_data_fn had checked for this earlier, the
state was not locked at that point), or it would get unmapped in the middle
of journal_dirty_data when we dropped locks to call sync_dirty_buffer.
By re-checking for mapped state after we've acquired the bh state lock, we
should avoid these races. If we find a buffer which is no longer mapped,
we essentially ignore it, because journal_unmap_buffer has already decided
that this buffer can go away.
I've also added tracepoints in these two cases, and made a couple other
tracepoint changes that I found useful in debugging this.

It seems to happened on ext3_truncate() path from stack trace. Then,
maybe the following case may trigger J_ASSERT(transaction->t_updates > 0).
ext3_truncate()
-> ext3_free_branches()
-> ext3_journal_test_restart()
-> ext3_journal_restart()
-> journal_restart()
transaction->t_updates--;
/* another process aborted journal */
-> start_this_handle()
returns -EROFS without transaction->t_updates++;
-> ext3_journal_stop()
-> journal_stop()
J_ASSERT(transaction->t_updates > 0)
If journal was aborted in middle of journal_restart(), ext3_truncate()
may trigger J_ASSERT().

that it occurs while req->wb_page is still valid.

Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion".
Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept.
The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core
backing-dev congestion functions.
This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion
functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.

The splice_actor may be calling ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write(). We
want i_mutex on the inode being written to before calling those so that we
don't race i_size changes.
The double locking behavior is done elsewhere in splice.c, and if we
eventually want _nolock variants of generic_file_splice_write(), fs modules
might have to replicate the nasty locking code. We introduce
inode_double_lock() and inode_double_unlock() to consolidate the locking
rules into one set of functions.

When IO error happens on metadata buffer, buffer is freed from memory and
later fsync() is called, filesystems like ext2 fail to report EIO. We
solve the problem by introducing a pointer to associated address space into
the buffer_head. When a buffer is removed from a list of metadata buffers
associated with an address space, IO error is transferred from the buffer to
the address space, so that fsync can later report it.

It is possible for the ->fopen callback from lockd into nfsd to find that an
answer cannot be given straight away (an upcall is needed) and so the request
has to be 'dropped', to be retried later. That error status is not currently
propagated back.
So:
Change nlm_fopen to return nlm error codes (rather than a private
protocol) and define a new nlm_drop_reply code.
Cause nlm_drop_reply to cause the rpc request to get rpc_drop_reply
when this error comes back.
Cause svc_process to drop a request which returns a status of
rpc_drop_reply.

When an nfs server shuts down, lockd needs to release all the locks even
though the client still holds them.
It should therefore not 'unmonitor' the clients, so that the files in nfs/sm
will still be there when the nfs server restarts, so that those clients will
be told to reclaim their locks.
However the hosts are fully unmonitored, so statd may well remove the files.
lockd has a test for 'sm_sticky' and avoid the unmonitor call if it is set,
but it is currently not set.
So set it when tearing down lockd.

If a client creates a file using an open which sets the mode to 000, or if a
chmod changes permissions after a file is opened, then situations may arise
where an NFS client knows that some IO is permitted (because a process holds
the file open), but the NFS server does not (because it doesn't know about the
open, and only sees that the IO conflicts with the current mode of the file).
As a hack to solve this problem, NFS servers normally allow the owner to
override permissions on IO. The client can still enforce correct
permissions-checking on open by performing an explicit access check.
In NFSv4 the client can rely on the explicit on-the-wire open instead of an
access check.
Therefore we should not be allowing the owner to override permissions on an
over-the-wire open!
However, we should still allow the owner to override permissions in the case
where the client is claiming an open that it already made either before a
reboot, or while it was holding a delegation.

Fuse considered it an error (EIO) if lookup returned a directory inode, to
which a dentry already refered. This is because directory aliases are not
allowed.
But in a network filesystem this could happen legitimately, if a directory is
moved on a remote client. This patch attempts to relax the restriction by
trying to first evict the offending alias from the cache. If this fails, it
still returns an error (EBUSY).
A rarer situation is if an mkdir races with an indenpendent lookup, which
finds the newly created directory already moved. In this situation the mkdir
should return success, but that would be incorrect, since the dentry cannot be
instantiated, so return EBUSY.
Previously checking for a directory alias and instantiation of the dentry
weren't done atomically in lookup/mkdir, hence two such calls racing with each
other could create aliased directories. To prevent this introduce a new
per-connection mutex: fuse_conn->inst_mutex, which is taken for instantiations
with a directory inode.

Fuse didn't always call i_size_write() with i_mutex held which caused rare
hangs on SMP/32bit. This bug has been present since fuse-2.2, well before
being merged into mainline.
The simplest solution is to protect i_size_write() with the per-connection
spinlock. Using i_mutex for this purpose would require some restructuring of
the code and I'm not even sure it's always safe to acquire i_mutex in all
places i_size needs to be set.
Since most of vmtruncate is already duplicated for other reasons, duplicate
the remaining part as well, making all i_size_write() calls internal to fuse.
Using i_size_write() was unnecessary in fuse_init_inode(), since this function
is only called on a newly created locked inode.
Reported by a few people over the years, but special thanks to Dana Henriksen
who was persistent enough in helping me debug it.

Currently ioprio_best function first checks wethere aioprio or bioprio equals

bioprio/aioprio appropriately. Thus the next four lines, that set aclass/bclass
to IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, if aclass/bclass == IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE, are never executed.
The second problem: if aioprio from class IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE and bioprio from
class IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE are passed to ioprio_best function, it will return
IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE. It means that during __make_request we can merge two
requests and set the priority of merged request to IDLE, while one of
the initial requests originates from a process with NONE (default) priority.
So we can get a situation when a process with default ioprio will experience
IO starvation, while there is no process from real-time class in the system.
