Since we have a UUID, we ought to expose it to the user via sysfs and uevents. We already have the fs name in both of these places (a combination of the lock proto and lock table name) so if we add the UUID as well, we have a full set. For older filesystems (i.e. those created before mkfs.gfs2 was writing UUIDs by default) the sysfs file will appear zero length, and no UUID env var will be added to the uevents.

This patch allows GFS2 to generate discard requests for blocks which are no longer useful to the filesystem (i.e. those which have been freed as the result of an unlink operation). The requests are generated at the time which those blocks become available for reuse in the filesystem. In order to use this new feature, you have to specify the "discard" mount option. The code coalesces adjacent blocks into a single extent when generating the discard requests, thus generating the minimum number. If an error occurs when the request has been sent to the block device, then it will print a message and turn off the requests for that filesystem. If the problem is temporary, then you can use remount to turn the option back on again. There is also a nodiscard mount option so that you can use remount to turn discard requests off, if required.

This patch fixes a deadlock when the journal is flushed and there are dirty inodes other than the one which caused the journal flush. Originally the journal flushing code was trying to obtain the transaction glock while running the flush code for an inode glock. We no longer require the transaction glock at this point in time since we know that any attempt to get the transaction glock from another node will result in a journal flush. So if we are flushing the journal, we can be sure that the transaction lock is still cached from when the transaction was started. By inlining a version of gfs2_trans_begin() (minus the bit which gets the transaction glock) we can avoid the deadlock problems caused if there is a demote request queued up on the transaction glock. In addition I've also moved the umount rwsem so that it covers the glock workqueue, since it all demotions are done by this workqueue now. That fixes a bug on umount which I came across while fixing the original problem. Reported-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This is the big patch that I've been working on for some time now. There are many reasons for wanting to make this change such as: o Reducing overhead by eliminating duplicated fields between structures o Simplifcation of the code (reduces the code size by a fair bit) o The locking interface is now the DLM interface itself as proposed some time ago. o Fewer lookups of glocks when processing replies from the DLM o Fewer memory allocations/deallocations for each glock o Scope to do further optimisations in the future (but this patch is more than big enough for now!) Please note that (a) this patch relates to the lock_dlm module and not the DLM itself, that is still a separate module; and (b) that we retain the ability to build GFS2 as a standalone single node filesystem with out requiring the DLM. This patch needs a lot of testing, hence my keeping it I restarted my -git tree after the last merge window. That way, this has the maximum exposure before its merged. This is (modulo a few minor bug fixes) the same patch that I've been posting on and off the the last three months and its passed a number of different tests so far.

The following patch fixes an issue relating to remount and argument parsing. After this fix is applied, remount becomes atomic in that it either succeeds changing the mount to the new state, or it fails and leaves it in the old state. Previously it was possible for the parsing of options to fail part way though and for the fs to be left in a state where some of the new arguments had been applied, but some had not.

With a sufficiently new compiler and binutils, code which wasn't previously generating .eh_frame sections has begun to. Certain architectures (powerpc, in this case) may generate unexpected relocation formats in response to this, preventing modules from loading. While the new relocation types should probably be handled, revert to the previous behaviour with regards to generation of .eh_frame sections. (This was reported against Fedora, which appears to be the only distro doing any building against gcc-4.4 at present: RH bz#486545.)

This patch fixes bug #12208: Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208 Subject : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler changes. The problem is this: - task A is ptracing task B - task B stops on a trace event - task A is woken up and preempts task B - task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach() - this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq - task A goes to sleep for a jiffy - ... Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add up to make it slow as hell. This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer. Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.

Also, since we fully construct phy_bus_id in the _probe() routine, we no longer need ->phy_address and ->mdio_bus fields in ucc_geth_info structure. I wish the patch would be a bit shorter, but it seems like the only way to fix the issue in a sane way. Luckily, the patch has been tested with real PHYs and fixed-link, so no further regressions expected.

This fixes a locking bug in the dm9000 driver. It calls request_irq() without setting IRQF_DISABLED ... which is correct for handlers that support IRQ sharing, since that behavior is not guaranteed for shared IRQs. However, its IRQ handler then wrongly assumes that IRQs are blocked. So the fix just uses the right spinlock primitives in the IRQ handler. NOTE: this is a classic example of the type of bug which lockdep currently masks by forcibly setting IRQF_DISABLED on IRQ handlers that did not request that flag.

If ecryptfs_encrypted_view or ecryptfs_xattr_metadata were being specified as mount options, a NULL pointer dereference of crypt_stat was possible during lookup. This patch moves the crypt_stat assignment into ecryptfs_lookup_and_interpose_lower(), ensuring that crypt_stat will not be NULL before we attempt to dereference it.

When allocating the memory used to store the eCryptfs header contents, a single, zeroed page was being allocated with get_zeroed_page(). However, the size of an eCryptfs header is either PAGE_CACHE_SIZE or ECRYPTFS_MINIMUM_HEADER_EXTENT_SIZE (8192), whichever is larger, and is stored in the file's private_data->crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front field. ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents() was using num_header_bytes_at_front to decide how many bytes should be written to the lower filesystem for the file header. Unfortunately, at least 8K was being written from the page, despite the chance of the single, zeroed page being smaller than 8K. This resulted in random areas of kernel memory being written between the 0x1000 and 0x1FFF bytes offsets in the eCryptfs file headers if PAGE_SIZE was 4K. This patch allocates a variable number of pages, calculated with num_header_bytes_at_front, and passes the number of allocated pages along to ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents(). Thanks to Florian Streibelt for reporting the data leak and working with me to find the problem. 2.6.28 is the only kernel release with this vulnerability.

This fixes a regression introduced when we switched to using the core pci_set_power_state(). The chip seems to need the state to be written over and over again until it sticks, so we do that. Note that the code is a bit blunt, without timeout, etc... but that's pretty much because I put back in there the code exactly as it used to be before the regression. I still add a call to pci_set_power_state() at the end so that ACPI gets called appropriately on x86.

The libaio test harness turned up a problem whereby lookup_ioctx on a bogus io context was returning the 1 valid io context from the list (harness/cases/3.p). Because of that, an extra put_iocontext was done, and when the process exited, it hit a BUG_ON in the put_iocontext macro called from exit_aio (since we expect a users count of 1 and instead get 0). The problem was introduced by "aio: make the lookup_ioctx() lockless" (commit abf137dd). Thanks to Zach for pointing out that hlist_for_each_entry_rcu will not return with a NULL tpos at the end of the loop, even if the entry was not found.

Remove a source of fput() call from inside IRQ context. Myself, like Eric, wasn't able to reproduce an fput() call from IRQ context, but Jeff said he was able to, with the attached test program. Independently from this, the bug is conceptually there, so we might be better off fixing it. This patch adds an optimization similar to the one we already do on ->ki_filp, on ->ki_eventfd. Playing with ->f_count directly is not pretty in general, but the alternative here would be to add a brand new delayed fput() infrastructure, that I'm not sure is worth it.
