      Reduce brokenness of CRIS headers_install · 1c8e40e4
      David Woodhouse authored
      I won't say 'fix', because they still look broken, although this will at
      least allow 'make ARCH=CRIS headers_install' to _complete_.
      
      For headers which are exported, we should probably choose between
      asm/arch-v10 and asm/arch-v32 by something that GCC defines -- we can't
      rely on a generated symlink. And we certainly can't export an arch/
      directory which doesn't even exist.
      
      And the only thing that we seem to include from the arch/ directory is
      <asm/arch/ptrace.h> from <asm/ptrace.h> ... and that isn't exported in
      either arch-v10 or arch-v32 _anyway_.

      vfat: fix 'sync' mount deadlock due to BKL->lock_super conversion · 5f22ca9b
      Linus Torvalds authored
      There was another FAT BKL conversion deadlock reported by Bart
      Trojanowski due to the BKL being used as a recursive lock by FAT, which
      was missed because it only triggers with 'sync' (or 'dirsync') mounts.
      
      The recursion worked for the BKL, but after the conversion to lock_super
      (which uses a mutex), it just deadlocks.
      
      Thanks to Bart for debugging this and testing the fix.  The lock
      debugging information from the original report:
      
        =============================================
        [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]

        but task is already holding lock:
         (&type->s_lock_key#9){--..}, at: [<c01a90fe>] lock_super+0x1e/0x20
      
        other info that might help us debug this:

         [<c01040d3>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x3f
         =======================
      
      where the deadlock is due to the nesting of lock_super from vfat_unlink
      to fat_write_inode:
      
       - do_unlinkat
         - vfs_unlink
           - vfat_unlink
             * lock_super
             - fat_remove_entries
               - fat_sync_inode
                 - fat_write_inode
                   * lock_super
      
      and the fix is to simply remove the use of lock_super() in fat_write_inode.
      
      The lock_super() there had been just an automatic conversion of the
      kernel lock to the superblock lock, but no locking was actually needed
      there, since the code in fat_write_inode already protected all relevant
      accesses with a spinlock (sbi->inode_hash_lock to be exact).  The only
      code inside the BKL (and thus the superblock lock) was accesses tp local
      variables or calls to functions that have long been SMP-safe (i.e.
      sb_bread, mark_buffe_dirty and brlese).
      
      Bart reports:
       "Looks good.  I ran 10 parallel processes creating 1M files truncating
        them, writing to them again and then deleting them.  This patch fixes
        the issue I ran into.

      I outwitted myself again in commit 2b2a1ff6,
      and broke the SA_NOCLDWAIT behavior so it leaks zombies.  This fixes it.
