The CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID flag is used by NPTL to have its threads communicate via memory/futex when they exit, so pthread_join can synchronize using a simple futex wait. The word of user memory where NPTL stores a thread's own TID is what it passes; this gets reset to zero at thread exit. It is not desireable to touch this user memory when threads are dying due to a fatal signal. A core dump is more usefully representative of the dying program state if the threads live at the time of the crash have their NPTL data structures unperturbed. The userland expectation of CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID has only ever been that it works for a thread making an _exit system call. This problem was identified by Ernie Petrides <petrides@redhat.com>.

Function v9fs_get_idpool returns int, not u32. Actually it returns -1 on errors, and these two callers check if the value is smaller than 0, which was caught by gcc with extra warning flags. Compile tested only but should be OK, as the value computed in v9fs_get_idpool() is also int. Signed-of-by:

I've been using Steve Grubb's purely evil "fsfuzzer" tool, at http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/fsfuzzer-0.4.tar.gz Basically it makes a filesystem, splats some random bits over it, then tries to mount it and do some simple filesystem actions. At best, the filesystem catches the corruption gracefully. At worst, things spin out of control. As you might guess, we found a couple places in ext4 where things spin out of control :) First, we had a corrupted directory that was never checked for consistency... it was corrupt, and pointed to another bad "entry" of length 0. The for() loop looped forever, since the length of ext4_next_entry(de) was 0, and we kept looking at the same pointer over and over and over and over... I modeled this check and subsequent action on what is done for other directory types in ext4_readdir... (adding this check adds some computational expense; I am testing a followup patch to reduce the number of times we check and re-check these directory entries, in all cases. Thanks for the idea, Andreas). Next we had a root directory inode which had a corrupted size, claimed to be > 200M on a 4M filesystem. There was only really 1 block in the directory, but because the size was so large, readdir kept coming back for more, spewing thousands of printk's along the way. Per Andreas' suggestion, if we're in this read error condition and we're trying to read an offset which is greater than i_blocks worth of bytes, stop trying, and break out of the loop. With these two changes fsfuzz test survives quite well on ext4. Signed-off-by:

paride_register() returns 1 on success, 0 on failure and module init code looks like static int __init foo_init(void) { return paride_register(&foo) - 1; } which is not what one get used to.

linux/cdev.h uses struct kobject and other structs and should therefore include them. Currently, a module either needs to add the missing includes itself, or, in case a module includes other headers already, needs to put <linux/cdev.h> last, which goes against a alphabetically-sorted include list.

In specific, the call to ide_add_proc_entries() is unprotected, and there is nothing else in the file using the respective ->proc fields. Also the lock order around destroy_proc_ide_interface() suggests this. Alan sayeth: proc_ide_write_settings walks the setting list under ide_setting_sem, read ditto. remove_proc_entry is doing proc side housekeeping.

One of our test team hit a reiserfs_panic while running fsstress tests on 2.6.19-rc1.

free_fdtable_rc() schedules timer to reschedule fddef->wq if schedule_work() on it returns 0. However, schedule_work() guarantees that the target work is executed at least once after the scheduling regardless of its return value. 0 return simply means that the work was already pending and thus no further action was required. Another problem is that it used contant '5' as @expires argument to mod_timer(). Kill unnecessary fddef->timer. Signed-off-by:

Add a DESTROY operation for block device based filesystems. With the help of this operation, such a filesystem can flush dirty data to the device synchronously before the umount returns. This is needed in situations where the filesystem is assumed to be clean immediately after unmount (e.g. ejecting removable media). Signed-off-by:

I never intended this, but people started using fuse to implement block device based "real" filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs). The following four patches add better support for these kinds of filesystems. Unlike "normal" fuse filesystems, using this feature should require superuser privileges (enforced by the fusermount utility). Thanks to Szabolcs Szakacsits for the input and testing. This patch adds a 'fuseblk' filesystem type, which is only different from the 'fuse' filesystem type in how the 'dev_name' mount argument is interpreted. Signed-off-by:

This patch addresses incorrect symbol type information reported through /proc/kallsyms. A lowercase character should designate the symbol as local (or non-exported). An uppercase character should designate the symbol as global (or external). Without this patch, some non-exported symbols are incorrectly assigned an upper-case designation in /proc/kallsyms. This patch corrects this condition by converting non-exported symbols types to lower case when appropriate and eliminates the superfluous upcase_if_global function Signed-off-by:
