When conversion deadlock is detected, cancel the conversion and return
EDEADLK to the application. This is a new default behavior where before
the dlm would allow the deadlock to exist indefinately.
The DLM_LKF_NODLCKWT flag can now be used in a conversion to prevent the
dlm from performing conversion deadlock detection/cancelation on it.
The DLM_LKF_CONVDEADLK flag can continue to be used as before to tell the
dlm to demote the granted mode of the lock being converted if it gets into
a conversion deadlock.

Change the user/kernel device interface used by libdlm:
- Add ability for userspace to check the version of the interface. libdlm
can now adapt to different versions of the kernel interface.
- Increase the size of the flags passed in a lock request so all possible
flags can be used from userspace.
- Add an opaque "xid" value for each lock. This "transaction id" will be
used later to associate locks with each other during deadlock detection.
- Add a "timeout" value for each lock. This is used along with the
DLM_LKF_TIMEOUT flag.
Also, remove a fragment of unused code in device_read().
This patch requires updating libdlm which is backward compatible with
older kernels.

New features: lock timeouts and time warnings. If the DLM_LKF_TIMEOUT
flag is set, then the request/conversion will be canceled after waiting
the specified number of centiseconds (specified per lock). This feature
is only available for locks requested through libdlm (can be enabled for
kernel dlm users if there's a use for it.)
If the new DLM_LSFL_TIMEWARN flag is set when creating the lockspace, then
a warning message will be sent to userspace (using genetlink) after a
request/conversion has been waiting for a given number of centiseconds
(configurable per node). The time warnings will be used in the future
to do deadlock detection in userspace.

This patch cleans up the inode number handling code. The main difference
is that instead of looking up the inodes using a struct gfs2_inum_host
we now use just the no_addr member of this structure. The tests relating
to no_formal_ino can then be done by the calling code. This has
advantages in that we want to do different things in different code
paths if the no_formal_ino doesn't match. In the NFS patch we want to
return -ESTALE, but in the ->lookup() path, its a bug in the fs if the
no_formal_ino doesn't match and thus we can withdraw in this case.
In order to later fix bz #201012, we need to be able to look up an inode
without knowing no_formal_ino, as the only information that is known to
us is the on-disk location of the inode in question.
This patch will also help us to fix bz #236099 at a later date by
cleaning up a lot of the code in that area.
There are no user visible changes as a result of this patch and there
are no changes to the on-disk format either.

To avoid code redundancy, I separated out the operational "guts" into

the closer-to-original gfs2_ri_update (without the special condition
checks) and gfs2_ri_update_special that's designed with that condition
in mind. (I don't like the name, but if you have a suggestion, I'm

This is another revision of my gfs2 kernel patch that allows
gfs2_grow to function properly.
Steve Whitehouse expressed some concerns about the previous
patch and I restructured it based on his comments.
The previous patch was doing the statfs_change at file close time,
under its own transaction. The current patch does the statfs_change
inside the gfs2_commit_write function, which keeps it under the
umbrella of the inode transaction.
I can't call ri_update to re-read the rindex file during the
transaction because the transaction may have outstanding unwritten
buffers attached to the rgrps that would be otherwise blown away.
So instead, I created a new function, gfs2_ri_total, that will
re-read the rindex file just to total the file system space
for the sake of the statfs_change. The ri_update will happen
later, when gfs2 realizes the version number has changed, as it
happened before my patch.
Since the statfs_change is happening at write_commit time and there
may be multiple writes to the rindex file for one grow operation.
So one consequence of this restructuring is that instead of getting
one kernel message to indicate the change, you may see several.
For example, before when you did a gfs2_grow, you'd get a single
message like:
GFS2: File system extended by 247876 blocks (968MB)
Now you get something like:
GFS2: File system extended by 207896 blocks (812MB)
GFS2: File system extended by 39980 blocks (156MB)
This version has also been successfully run against the hours-long
"gfs2_fsck_hellfire" test that does several gfs2_grow and gfs2_fsck
while interjecting file system damage. It does this repeatedly
under a variety Resource Group conditions.

Fix for bz #231910
When filemap_fdatawrite() is called on the inode mapping in data=ordered mode,
it will add the glock to the log. In inode_go_sync(), if you do the
gfs2_log_flush() before this, after the filemap_fdatawrite() call, the glock
and its associated data buffers will be on the log again. This means you can
demote a lock from exclusive, without having it flushed from the log. The
attached patch simply moves the gfs2_log_flush up to after the
filemap_fdatawrite() call.
Originally, I tried moving the gfs2_log_flush to after gfs2_meta_sync(), but
that caused me to trip the following assert.
GFS2: fsid=cypher-36:test.0: fatal: assertion "!buffer_busy(bh)" failed
GFS2: fsid=cypher-36:test.0: function = gfs2_ail_empty_gl, file = fs/gfs2/glops.c, line = 61
It appears that gfs2_log_flush() puts some of the glocks buffers in the busy
state and the filemap_fdatawrite() call is necessary to flush them. This makes
me worry slightly that a related problem could happen because of moving the
gfs2_log_flush() after the initial filemap_fdatawrite(), but I assume that
gfs2_ail_empty_gl() would catch that case as well.

elf_core_dump() supports dumping arch specific ELF notes, via the #define
ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES. Currently the only user of this is the powerpc
spu coredump code.
There is a bug in the handling of foffset WRT the arch notes, which causes
us to erroneously increment foffset by the size of the arch notes, leaving
a block of zeroes in the file, and causing all subsequent data in the file
to be at <supposed position> + <arch note size>. eg:
LOAD 0x050000 0x00100000 0x00000000 0x20000 0x20000 R E 0x10000
Tells us we should have a chunk of data at 0x50000. The truth is the data
is at 0x90dbc = 0x50000 + 0x40dbc (the size of the arch notes).
This bug prevents gdb from reading the core file correctly.
The simplest fix is to simply remember the size of the arch notes, and add
it to foffset after we've written the arch notes. The only drawback is
that if the arch code doesn't write as many bytes as it said it would, we
end up with a broken core dump again. For now I think that's a reasonable
requirement.
Tested on a Cell blade, gdb no longer complains about the core file being
bogus.
While I'm here I should point out that the spu coredump code does not work
if we're dumping to a pipe - we'll have to wait for 23 to fix that.

Badari Pulavarty reported a case of this BUG_ON is triggering during
testing. It's completely bogus and should be removed.
It's trying to notice if we left references to the dio hanging around in
the sync case. They should have been dropped as IO completed while this
path was in dio_await_completion(). This condition will also be
checked, via some twisty logic, by the BUG_ON(ret != -EIOCBQUEUED) a few
lines lower. So to start this BUG_ON() is redundant.
More fatally, it's dereferencing dio-> after having dropped its
reference. It's only safe to dereference the dio after releasing the
lock if the final reference was just dropped. Another CPU might free
the dio in bio completion and reuse the memory after this path drops the
dio lock but before the BUG_ON() is evaluated.
This patch passed aio+dio regression unit tests and aio-stress on ext3.

Not all the world is an i386. Many architectures need 64-bit arguments to be
aligned in suitable pairs of registers, and the original
sys_sync_file_range(int, loff_t, loff_t, int) was therefore wasting an
argument register for padding after the first integer. Since we don't
normally have more than 6 arguments for system calls, that left no room for
the final argument on some architectures.
Fix this by introducing sys_sync_file_range2(int, int, loff_t, loff_t) which
all fits nicely. In fact, ARM already had that, but called it
sys_arm_sync_file_range. Move it to fs/sync.c and rename it, then implement
the needed compatibility routine. And stop the missing syscall check from
bitching about the absence of sys_sync_file_range() if we've implemented
sys_sync_file_range2() instead.

This patch fixes the processes involved in wiping regions of the data during
truncate and write events, fixing a kernel hang in 2.6.22-rc4 while assuring
that zero values are written out to the appropriate locations during events in
which the i_size will change.
The range passed to ecryptfs_truncate() from ecryptfs_prepare_write() includes
the page that is the object of ecryptfs_prepare_write(). This leads to a
kernel hang as read_cache_page() is executed on the same page in the
ecryptfs_truncate() execution path. This patch remedies this by limiting the
range passed to ecryptfs_truncate() so as to exclude the page that is the
object of ecryptfs_prepare_write(); it also adds code to
ecryptfs_prepare_write() to zero out the region of its own page when writing
past the i_size position. This patch also modifies ecryptfs_truncate() so
that when a file is truncated to a smaller size, eCryptfs will zero out the
contents of the new last page from the new size through to the end of the last
page.

Some user space tools need to identify SYSV shared memory when examining

User space tools will still have to be aware that hugetlb sysv shared

We have to take care that when we call udf_discard_prealloc() from
udf_clear_inode() we have to write inode ourselves afterwards (otherwise,
some changes might be lost leading to leakage of blocks, use of free blocks
or improperly aligned extents).
Also udf_discard_prealloc() does two different things - it removes
preallocated blocks and truncates the last extent to exactly match i_size.
We move the latter functionality to udf_truncate_tail_extent(), call
udf_discard_prealloc() when last reference to a file is dropped and call
udf_truncate_tail_extent() when inode is being removed from inode cache
(udf_clear_inode() call).
We cannot call udf_truncate_tail_extent() earlier as subsequent open+write
would find the last block of the file mapped and happily write to the end
of it, although the last extent says it's shorter.

Allowing attribute and symlink dentries to be reclaimed means

Due to the locking around ->d_iput, the check in sysfs_drop_dentry()

validity of the dentry is protected by dcache_lock, so whether dentry

For regular files in sysfs, sysfs_readdir wants to traverse
sysfs_dirent->s_dentry->d_inode->i_ino to get to the inode number.
But, the dentry can be reclaimed under memory pressure, and there is
no synchronization with readdir. This patch follows Tejun's scheme of
allocating and storing an inode number in the new s_ino member of a
sysfs_dirent, when dirents are created, and retrieving it from there
for readdir, so that the pointer chain doesn't have to be traversed.
Tejun's upstream patch uses a new-ish "ida" allocator which brings
along some extra complexity; this -stable patch has a brain-dead
incrementing counter which does not guarantee uniqueness, but because
sysfs doesn't hash inodes as iunique expects, uniqueness wasn't
guaranteed today anyway.

A few caveats:
1) It only applies to filesystems that have CAP_UNIX (aka support unix
extensions)
2) It applies the correct mode to the follow up CIFSSMBUnixSetPerms()
after remote creation
When mode to CIFS/NTFS ACL mapping is complete we can do the

Original patch and description from Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>,
merged and adapted to splice branch by me. Neils text follows:
__generic_file_splice_read() currently samples the i_size at the start
and doesn't do so again unless it needs to call ->readpage to load
a page. After ->readpage it has to re-sample i_size as a truncate
may have caused that page to be filled with zeros, and the read()
call should not see these.
However there are other activities that might cause ->readpage to be
called on a page between the time that __generic_file_splice_read()
samples i_size and when it finds that it has an uptodate page. These
include at least read-ahead and possibly another thread performing a
read
So we must sample i_size *after* it has an uptodate page. Thus the
current sampling at the start and after a read can be replaced with a
sampling before page addition into spd.

In the manpage of fchmod, "EPERM: The effective UID does not match the
owner of the file, and the process is not privileged (Linux: it does not
have the CAP_FOWNER capability)."
But the ramfs nommu code missed the inode_change_ok POSIX UID/GID
verification. This patch fixed this.

The write path code intends to bug if a math error (or unhandled case)
results in a write outside of the current cluster boundaries. The actual
BUG_ON() statements however are incorrect, leading to a crash on kernels
with 64k page size. Fix those by checking against the right variables.
Also, move the assertions higher up within the functions so that they trip
*before* the code starts to mark buffers.
