      NLS: improve UTF8 -> UTF16 string conversion routine · 6022b672
      Alan Stern authored
      commit 0720a06a upstream.
      
      The utf8s_to_utf16s conversion routine needs to be improved.  Unlike
      its utf16s_to_utf8s sibling, it doesn't accept arguments specifying
      the maximum length of the output buffer or the endianness of its
      16-bit output.
      
      This patch (as1501) adds the two missing arguments, and adjusts the
      only two places in the kernel where the function is called.  A
      follow-on patch will add a third caller that does utilize the new
      capabilities.
      
      The two conversion routines are still annoyingly inconsistent in the
      way they handle invalid byte combinations.  But that's a subject for a
      different patch.

      btrfs: use rcu_barrier() to wait for bdev puts at unmount · 2d8db10e
      Eric Sandeen authored
      commit bc178622 upstream.
      
      Doing this would reliably fail with -EBUSY for me:
      
      # mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/scratch; umount /mnt/scratch; mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb2
      ...
      unable to open /dev/sdb2: Device or resource busy
      
      because mkfs.btrfs tries to open the device O_EXCL, and somebody still has it.
      
      Using systemtap to track bdev gets & puts shows a kworker thread doing a
      blkdev put after mkfs attempts a get; this is left over from the unmount
      path:
      
      btrfs_close_devices
      	__btrfs_close_devices
      		call_rcu(&device->rcu, free_device);
      			free_device
      				INIT_WORK(&device->rcu_work, __free_device);
      				schedule_work(&device->rcu_work);
      
      so unmount might complete before __free_device fires & does its blkdev_put.
      
      Adding an rcu_barrier() to btrfs_close_devices() causes unmount to wait
      until all blkdev_put()s are done, and the device is truly free once
      unmount completes.

      loopdev: remove an user triggerable oops · 3a6356e6
      Guo Chao authored
      commit b1a66504 upstream.
      
      When loopdev is built as module and we pass an invalid parameter,
      loop_init() will return directly without deregister misc device, which
      will cause an oops when insert loop module next time because we left some
      garbage in the misc device list.
      
      Test case:
      sudo modprobe loop max_part=1024
      (failed due to invalid parameter)
      sudo modprobe loop
      (oops)
      
      Clean up nicely to avoid such oops.
