When we have multiple buffers in a single page for a blocksize == pagesize filesystem we might overwrite the page contents if two callers hit it shortly after each other. To prevent that we need to keep the page locked until I/O is completed and the page marked uptodate. Thanks to Eric Sandeen for triaging this bug and finding a reproducible testcase and Dave Chinner for additional advice. This should fix kernel.org bz #10421.

We only need to allocate space for the number of inodes in the cluster when writing back inodes, not every byte in the inode cluster. This reduces the amount of memory needing to be allocated to 256 bytes instead of 64k.

writeback If we allow memory reclaim to wait on the pages under writeback in inode cluster writeback we could deadlock because we are currently holding the ILOCK on the initial writeback inode which is needed in data I/O completion to change the file size or do unwritten extent conversion before the pages are taken out of writeback state.

xfs_fsync() fails to wait for data I/O completion before checking if the inode is dirty or clean to decide whether to log the inode or not. This misses inode size updates when the data flushed by the fsync() is extending the file. Hence, like fdatasync(), we need to wait for I/o completion first, then check the inode for cleanliness. Doing so makes the behaviour of xfs_fsync() identical for fsync and fdatasync and we *always* use synchronous semantics if the inode is dirty. Therefore also kill the differences and remove the unused flags from the xfs_fsync function and callers.

The following courruption can happen during pktgen stop: list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffff81007e8a5e70, but was 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:67! :pktgen:pktgen_thread_worker+0x374/0x10b0 ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40 ? _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x42/0x80 ? :pktgen:pktgen_thread_worker+0x0/0x10b0 kthread+0x4d/0x80 child_rip+0xa/0x12 ? restore_args+0x0/0x30 ? kthread+0x0/0x80 ? child_rip+0x0/0x12 RIP list_del+0x48/0x70 The problem is that pktgen_thread_worker can not be executed if kthread_stop has been called too early.

Am I just being particularly dim today, or can the call to dev->change_rx_flags(dev, IFF_MULTICAST) in dev_change_flags() never happen? We've just set dev->flags = flags & IFF_MULTICAST, effectively. So the condition '(dev->flags ^ flags) & IFF_MULTICAST' is _never_ going to be true. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Because the IPsec output function xfrm_output_resume does its own dst_output call it should always call __ip_local_output instead of ip_local_output as the latter may invoke dst_output directly. Otherwise the return values from nf_hook and dst_output may clash as they both use the value 1 but for different purposes. When that clash occurs this can cause a packet to be used after it has been freed which usually leads to a crash. Because the offending value is only returned from dst_output with qdiscs such as HTB, this bug is normally not visible. Thanks to Marco Berizzi for his perseverance in tracking this down.
