User-space should have the opportunity to check what features doest ext4 support in each particular copy. This adds easy interface by creating new "features" directory in sys/fs/ext4/. In that directory files advertising feature names can be created. Add lazy_itable_init to the feature list.

When the lazy_itable_init extended option is passed to mke2fs, it considerably speeds up filesystem creation because inode tables are not zeroed out. The fact that parts of the inode table are uninitialized is not a problem so long as the block group descriptors, which contain information regarding how much of the inode table has been initialized, has not been corrupted However, if the block group checksums are not valid, e2fsck must scan the entire inode table, and the the old, uninitialized data could potentially cause e2fsck to report false problems. Hence, it is important for the inode tables to be initialized as soon as possble. This commit adds this feature so that mke2fs can safely use the lazy inode table initialization feature to speed up formatting file systems. This is done via a new new kernel thread called ext4lazyinit, which is created on demand and destroyed, when it is no longer needed. There is only one thread for all ext4 filesystems in the system. When the first filesystem with inititable mount option is mounted, ext4lazyinit thread is created, then the filesystem can register its request in the request list. This thread then walks through the list of requests picking up scheduled requests and invoking ext4_init_inode_table(). Next schedule time for the request is computed by multiplying the time it took to zero out last inode table with wait multiplier, which can be set with the (init_itable=n) mount option (default is 10). We are doing this so we do not take the whole I/O bandwidth. When the thread is no longer necessary (request list is empty) it frees the appropriate structures and exits (and can be created later later by another filesystem). We do not disturb regular inode allocations in any way, it just do not care whether the inode table is, or is not zeroed. But when zeroing, we have to skip used inodes, obviously. Also we should prevent new inode allocations from the group, while zeroing is on the way. For that we take write alloc_sem lock in ext4_init_inode_table() and read alloc_sem in the ext4_claim_inode, so when we are unlucky and allocator hits the group which is currently being zeroed, it just has to wait. This can be suppresed using the mount option no_init_itable. Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

Today we simply break out of the inner loop when we have accumulated max_pages; this keeps scanning forwad and doing pagevec_lookup_tag() in the while (!done) loop, this does potentially a lot of work with no net effect.

ext4_group_info structures are currently allocated with kmalloc(). With a typical 4K block size, these are 136 bytes each -- meaning they'll each consume a 256-byte slab object. On a system with many ext4 large partitions, that's a lot of wasted kernel slab space. (E.g., a single 1TB partition will have about 8000 block groups, using about 2MB of slab, of which nearly 1MB is wasted.) This patch creates an array of slab pointers created as needed -- depending on the superblock block size -- and uses these slabs to allocate the group info objects.

This fixes a hang seen in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode on a lot of Power 6 systems running with ext4. When we get in the hung state, all I/O to the disk in question gets blocked where we stay indefinitely. Looking at the task list, I can see we are stuck in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode waiting on a wake up. I added some debug code to detect this scenario and dump additional data if we were stuck in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode for longer than 30 minutes. When it hit, I was able to see that i_flags was 0, suggesting we missed the wake up. This patch changes i_flags to be an unsigned long, uses bit operators to access it, and adds barriers around the accesses. Prior to applying this patch, we were regularly hitting this hang on numerous systems in our test environment. After applying the patch, the hangs no longer occur.

It turns out we have several problems with how EOFBLOCKS_FL is handled. First of all, there was a fencepost error where we were not clearing the EOFBLOCKS_FL when fill in the last uninitialized block, but rather when we allocate the next block _after_ the uninitalized block. Secondly we were not testing to see if we needed to clear the EOFBLOCKS_FL when writing to the file O_DIRECT or when were converting an uninitialized block (which is the most common case).

Tejun Heo authored
libata depends on scsi_host_template for module reference counting and sht's should be owned by each low level driver. During libahci split, the sht was left with libahci.ko leaving the actual low level drivers not reference counted. This made ahci and ahci_platform always unloadable even while they're being actively used. Fix it by defining AHCI_SHT() macro in ahci.h and defining a sht for each low level ahci driver. stable: only applicable to 2.6.35.

Commit e40cc4bd introduced a build breakage if CONFIG_SMP is undefined. This commit fixes the problem. This fix is only a workaround. For a real fix, cpu_sibling_mask() should be defined in UP include code, eg in linux/smp.h, and asm/smp.h should not be included directly. This fix is currently not possible because asm/smp.h defines cpu_sibling_mask() unconditionally and is included directly from many source files.

Fixes kernel bugzilla #16603 tcp_sendmsg() truncates iov_len to an 'int' which a 4GB write to write zero bytes, for example. There is also the problem higher up of how verify_iovec() works. It wants to prevent the total length from looking like an error return value. However it does this using 'int', but syscalls return 'long' (and thus signed 64-bit on 64-bit machines). So it could trigger false-positives on 64-bit as written. So fix it to use 'long'.

The PKT_CTRL_CMD_STATUS device ioctl retrieves a pointer to a pktcdvd_device from the global pkt_devs array. The index into this array is provided directly by the user and is a signed integer, so the comparison to ensure that it falls within the bounds of this array will fail when provided with a negative index. This can be used to read arbitrary kernel memory or cause a crash due to an invalid pointer dereference. This can be exploited by users with permission to open /dev/pktcdvd/control (on many distributions, this is readable by group "cdrom").

p9_virtio_create will only compare the the channel's tag characters against the device name till the end of the channel's tag but not till the end of the device name. This means that if a user defines channels with the tags foo and foobar then he would mount foo when he requested foonot and may mount foo when he requested foobar. Thus it is necessary to check both string lengths against each other in case of a successful partial string match. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven.eckelmann@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

When the interface is up, using ethtool breaks it because: a) link is put down but media_timer interval is not shortened to NO_LINK b) rxtx is stopped but not restarted Also manual 10baseT-HD (and probably FD too - untested) mode does not work - the link is forced up, packets are transmitted but nothing is received. Changing CSR14 value to match documentation (not disabling link check) fixes this.

When TCP uses FACK algorithm to mark lost packets in tcp_mark_head_lost(), if the number of packets in the (TSO) skb is greater than the number of packets that should be marked lost, TCP incorrectly exits the loop and marks no packets lost in the skb. This underestimates tp->lost_out and affects the recovery/retransmission. This patch fargments the skb and marks the correct amount of packets lost.
