Fix the error path when exiting new_lockspace(). It was kfree'ing the lockspace struct at the end, but that's only valid if it exits before kobject_register occured. After kobject_register we have to let the kobject do the freeing. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

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. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This problem was originally reported against GFS6.1, but the same issue exists in upstream DLM. This patch keeps the rsb iterator assigning under the rsbtbl list lock. Each time we process an rsb we grab a reference to it to make sure it is not freed out from underneath us, and then put it when we get the next rsb in the list or move onto another list.

This patch fixes an error in the quota code where a 'struct gfs2_quota_lvb*' was being passed to gfs2_adjust_quota() instead of a 'struct gfs2_quota_data*'.

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. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This patch removes the completion (which is rather large) from struct gdlm_lock in favour of using the wait_on_bit() functions. We don't need to add any extra fields to the structure to do this, so we save 32 bytes (on x86_64) per structure. This adds up to quite a lot when we may potentially have millions of these lock structures, Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Acked-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>

This addendum patch 2 corrects three things: 1. It fixes a stupid mistake in the previous addendum that broke gfs2. Ref: https://www.redhat.com/archives/cluster-devel/2007-May/msg00162.html 2. It fixes a problem that Dave Teigland pointed out regarding the external declarations in ops_address.h being in the wrong place. 3. It recasts a couple more %llu printks to (unsigned long long) as requested by Steve Whitehouse. I would have loved to put this all in one revised patch, but there was a rush to get some patches for RHEL5. Therefore, the previous patches were applied to the git tree "as is" and therefore, I'm posting another addendum. Sorry.

To avoid code redundancy, I separated out the operational "guts" into a new function called read_rindex_entry. Then I made two functions: 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 all ears). Oh, and there's an added benefit: we don't need all the ugly gotos anymore. ;) This patch has been tested with gfs2_fsck_hellfire (which runs for three and a half hours, btw).

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. Signed-off-By: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

Fix two races in fs/dlm/config.c: (1) Grab the configfs subsystem semaphore before calling config_group_find_obj() in get_space(). This solves a potential race between get_space() and concurrent mkdir(2) or rmdir(2). (2) Grab a reference on the found config_item _while_ holding the configfs subsystem semaphore in get_comm(), and not after it. This solves a potential race between get_comm() and concurrent rmdir(2).

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.

Commit 1c710c89 added the utimensat() system call, but didn't handle the case of checking for the writability of the target right, when the target was a file descriptor, not a filename. We cannot use vfs_permission(MAY_WRITE) for that case, and need to simply check whether the file descriptor is writable. The oops from using the wrong function was noticed and narrowed down by Markus Trippelsdorf.

The SiS966 has one additional PCI-ID 1180. If the chipset is using this PCI-ID, the primary channel is connected to the first PATA-port. The secondary channel is connected to SATA-ports in IDE emulation mode. The legacy IO-ports are used. The including of the PCI-ID into pata_sis is not sufficient, because the legacy driver in drivers/ide is initialized before pata_sis.

When we enable the SMCf010 IR device, the Toshiba Portege 4000 BIOS claims the device is working, but it really isn't configured correctly. The BIOS *will* configure it, but only if we call _SRS after (1) reversing the order of the SIR and FIR I/O port regions and (2) changing the IRQ from active-high to active-low. This patch addresses the 2.6.22 regression: "no irda0 interface (2.6.21 was OK), smsc does not find chip" I tested this on a Portege 4000. The smsc-ircc2 driver correctly detects the device, and "irattach irda0 -s && irdadump" shows transmitted and received packets.

Processors synchronization in set_mtrr requires the .gate field to be set after .count field is properly initialized. Without an explicit barrier, the compiler was reordering those memory stores. That was sometimes causing a processor (in ipi_handler) to see the .gate change and decrement .count before the latter is set by set_mtrr() (which then hangs in a infinite loop with irqs disabled).

The commit 635cf99a introduced a regression. Executing a ptrace single step after certain int80 accesses will infinitely loop and never advance the PC. The TIF_SINGLESTEP check should be done on the return from the syscall and not before it. I loops on each single step on the pop right after the int80 which writes out to the console. At that point you can issue as many single steps as you want and it will not advance any further.

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.

The idle loop goes to sleep using the WAIT instruction if !need_resched(). This has is suffering from from a race condition that if if just after need_resched has returned 0 an interrupt might set TIF_NEED_RESCHED but we've just completed the test so go to sleep anyway. This would be trivial to fix by just disabling interrupts during that sequence as in: local_irq_disable(); if (!need_resched()) __asm__("wait"); local_irq_enable(); but the processor architecture leaves it undefined if a processor calling WAIT with interrupts disabled will ever restart its pipeline and indeed some processors have made use of the freedom provided by the architecture definition. This has been resolved and the Config7.WII bit indicates that the use of WAIT is safe on 24K, 24KE and 34K cores. It also is safe on 74K starting revision 2.1.0 so enable the use of WAIT with interrupts disabled for 74K based on a c0_prid of at least that. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
