      ext4: partial revert to fix double brelse WARNING() · 1e424a34
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      This is a partial revert of commit 6487a9d3 (only the changes made to
      fs/ext4/namei.c), since it is causing the following brelse()
      double-free warning when running fsstress on a file system with 1k
      blocksize and we run into a block allocation failure while converting
      a single-block directory to a multi-block hash-tree indexed directory.

      Commit 6487a9d3 was an attempt some buffer head leaks in an ENOSPC
      error path, but in some cases it actually results in an excess ENOSPC,
      as shown above.  Fixing this means cleaning up who is responsible for
      releasing the buffer heads from the callee to the caller of
      add_dirent_to_buf().
      
      Since that's a relatively complex change, and we're late in the rcX
      development cycle, I'm reverting this now, and holding back a more
      complete fix until after 2.6.32 ships.  We've lived with this
      buffer_head leak on ENOSPC in ext3 and ext4 for a very long time; a
      few more months won't kill us.

      perf tools: Fix permission checks · c10edee2
      Pekka Enberg authored
      The perf_event_open() system call returns EACCES if the user is
      not root which results in a very confusing error message:
      
        $ perf record -A -a -f
      
          Error: perfcounter syscall returned with -1 (Permission denied)
      
          Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?
      
      It turns out that's because perf tools are checking only for
      EPERM. Fix that up to get a much better error message:
      
        $ perf record -A -a -f
          Fatal: Permission error - are you root?

      sched: Use root_task_group_empty only with FAIR_GROUP_SCHED · e9036b36
      Cyrill Gorcunov authored
      root_task_group_empty is used only with FAIR_GROUP_SCHED
      so if we use other scheduler options we get:
      
        kernel/sched.c:314: warning: 'root_task_group_empty' defined but not used
      
      So move CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED up that it covers
      root_task_group_empty().

      x86: Fix error return sequence in __ioremap_caller() · de2a47cf
      Xiaotian Feng authored
      kernel missed to free memtype if get_vm_area_caller failed in
      __ioremap_caller.
      
      This patch introduces error path to fix this and cleans up the
      repetitive error return sequences that contributed to the
      creation of the bug.
