After reading the directory contents into the temporary buffer, we grab each dirent and pass it to filldir witht eh current offset of the dirent. The current offset was not being set for the first dirent in the temporary buffer, which coul dresult in bad offsets being set in the f_pos field result in looping and duplicate entries being returned from readdir.

This was broken by my '[XFS] simplify xfs_create/mknod/symlink prototype', which assigned the re-shuffled ondisk dev_t back to the rdev variable in xfs_vn_mknod. Because of that i_rdev is set to the ondisk dev_t instead of the linux dev_t later down the function. Fortunately the fix for it is trivial: we can just remove the assignment because xfs_revalidate_inode has done the proper job before unlocking the inode.

The recent filldir regression fix was not putting the correct d_off in each dirent. This was resulting in incorrect cookies being passed to dmapi ioctls and the wrong offset appearing in the dirents. readdir was unaffected as the filp->f_pos was being updated with the correct offset and this was being written into the last dirent in each buffer. Fix the XFS code to do the right thing.

On last close of a file we purge blocks beyond eof. The same code is used when we truncate the file size down. In this case we need to wait for any pending I/Os for dirty pages beyond the new eof. For the last close case we are not changing the file size and therefore do not need to wait for any I/Os to complete. This fixes a performance bottleneck where writes into the page cache and cache flushes can become mutually exclusive.

This reverts commit 54f9f80d ("hugetlb: Add hugetlb_dynamic_pool sysctl") Given the new sysctl nr_overcommit_hugepages, the boolean dynamic pool sysctl is not needed, as its semantics can be expressed by 0 in the overcommit sysctl (no dynamic pool) and non-0 in the overcommit sysctl (pool enabled).

hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl While examining the code to support /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_dynamic_pool, I became convinced that having a boolean sysctl was insufficient: 1) To support per-node control of hugepages, I have previously submitted patches to add a sysfs attribute related to nr_hugepages. However, with a boolean global value and per-mount quota enforcement constraining the dynamic pool, adding corresponding control of the dynamic pool on a per-node basis seems inconsistent to me. 2) Administration of the hugetlb dynamic pool with multiple hugetlbfs mount points is, arguably, more arduous than it needs to be. Each quota would need to be set separately, and the sum would need to be monitored. To ease the administration, and to help make the way for per-node control of the static & dynamic hugepage pool, I added a separate sysctl, nr_overcommit_hugepages. This value serves as a high watermark for the overall hugepage pool, while nr_hugepages serves as a low watermark. The boolean sysctl can then be removed, as the condition nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0 indicates the same administrative setting as hugetlb_dynamic_pool == 1 Quotas still serve as local enforcement of the size of the pool on a per-mount basis. A few caveats: 1) There is a race whereby the global surplus huge page counter is incremented before a hugepage has allocated. Another process could then try grow the pool, and fail to convert a surplus huge page to a normal huge page and instead allocate a fresh huge page. I believe this is benign, as no memory is leaked (the actual pages are still tracked correctly) and the counters won't go out of sync. 2) Shrinking the static pool while a surplus is in effect will allow the number of surplus huge pages to exceed the overcommit value. As long as this condition holds, however, no more surplus huge pages will be allowed on the system until one of the two sysctls are increased sufficiently, or the surplus huge pages go out of use and are freed. Successfully tested on x86_64 with the current libhugetlbfs snapshot, modified to use the new sysctl.

ecryptfs in 2.6.24-rc3 wasn't surviving fsx for me at all, dying after 4 ops. Generally, encountering problems with stale data and improperly zeroed pages. An extending truncate + write for example would expose stale data. With the changes below I got to a million ops and beyond with all mmap ops disabled - mmap still needs work. (A version of this patch on a RHEL5 kernel ran for over 110 million fsx ops) I added a few comments as well, to the best of my understanding as I read through the code.

bloat-o-meter assumes that a '.' anywhere in a symbol's name means that it is static and prepends 'static.' to the first part of the symbol name, discarding the portion of the name that follows the '.'. However, the names of function entry points begin with '.' in the ppc64 ABI. This causes all function text size changes to be accounted to a single 'static.' entry in the output when comparing ppc64 kernels. Change getsizes() to ignore the first character of the symbol name when searching for '.'.

In some cases the IO subsystem is able to merge requests if the pages are adjacent in physical memory. This was achieved in the allocator by having expand() return pages in physically contiguous order in situations were a large buddy was split. However, list-based anti-fragmentation changed the order pages were returned in to avoid searching in buffered_rmqueue() for a page of the appropriate migrate type. This patch restores behaviour of rmqueue_bulk() preserving the physical order of pages returned by the allocator without incurring increased search costs for anti-fragmentation.

First of all, thanks to Bob Tracy <rct@frus.com> and Michael Cree <mcree@orcon.net.nz> for testing. Especially to Bob, as he has done titanic multi-day git-bisect work that finally helped to reproduce and nail down the bug (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9457). [ev6-]stxncpy.S: it's t12, not t2 register that is supposed to contain the last byte offset upon return. As a result of wrong register use (which was my fault back in 2003, IIRC), under some circumstances extra terminating zero bytes were added to destination string. This particularly led to incorrect DEVPATH strings generated in uevent and therefore to udev problems. strncpy.S: unrelated bug I found while testing the above fix - destination is not properly zero-padded then a byte count exceeds source length. Actually this is addition to strncpy fix from last year.

Sometimes when UML is debugged gdb miss breakpoints. When process traced by gdb do fork, debugger remove breakpoints from child address space. There is possibility to trace more than one fork, but this not work with UML, I guess (only guess) there is a deadlock - gdb waits for UML and UML waits for gdb. When clone() is called with SIGCHLD and CLONE_VM flags, gdb see this as PTRACE_EVENT_FORK not as PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE and remove breakpoints from child and at the same time from traced process, because either have the same address space. Maybe it is possible to do fix in gdb, but I'm not sure if there is easy way to find out if traced and child processes share memory. So I do fix for UML, it simply do not call clone() with both SIGCHLD and CLONE_VM flags together. Additionally __WALL flag is used for waitpid() to assure not miss clone and normal process events.

With ATAPI transfer chunk size properly programmed, libata PIO HSM should be able to handle full spurious data chunks. Also, it's a good idea to suppress trailing data warning for misc ATAPI commands as there can be many of them per command - for example, if the chunk size is 16 and the drive tries to transfer 510 bytes, there can be 31 trailing data messages. This patch makes the following updates to libata ATAPI PIO HSM implementation. * Make it drain full spurious chunks. * Suppress trailing data warning message for misc commands. * Put limit on how many bytes can be drained. * If odd, round up consumed bytes and the number of bytes to be drained. This gets the number of bytes to drain right for drivers which do 16bit PIO. This patch is partial backport of improve-ATAPI-data-xfer patchset pending for #upstream.
