ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN was already defined in asm/mem-layout.h and so shouldn't have been added to asm/cache.h as well, but rather altered in place. The commit that added it to asm/cache.h was: commit 69dcf3db Author: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Date: Mon May 24 14:32:54 2010 -0700 frv: set ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN Architectures that handle DMA-non-coherent memory need to set ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to make sure that kmalloc'ed buffer is DMA-safe: the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others.

gets minix get_dir_page() in sync with its analogs; back in 2007 Nick has switched read_cache_page() and friends to sync behaviour (i.e. they wait for the page to get unlocked, check if it's uptodate and if it isn't return ERR_PTR(-EIO) instead) and removed the duplicate logics from the callers. In case of fs/minix/dir.c he'd removed only half of that... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

The wrong size was being calculated for vfinfo. In one case, it was over- calculating using nlmsg_total_size on attrs, in another case, it was under-calculating by assuming ifla_vf_* structs are packed together, but each struct is it's own attr w/ hdr (and padding).

Noticed by Patrick McHardy: was continuing to fill skb after a nla_put_failure, ignoring the size calculated by upper layer. Now, return -EMSGSIZE on any overruns, but also allow netdev to fail ndo_get_vf_port with error other than -EMSGSIZE, thus unwinding nest.

Currently we disallow GSO packets on the IPv6 forward path. This patch fixes this. Note that I discovered that our existing GSO MTU checks (e.g., IPv4 forwarding) are buggy in that they skip the check altogether, when they really should be checking gso_size + header instead. I have also been lazy here in that I haven't bothered to segment the GSO packet by hand before generating an ICMP message. Someone should add that to be 100% correct.

npiggin@suse.de authored
Introduce a new truncate calling sequence into fs/mm subsystems. Rather than setattr > vmtruncate > truncate, have filesystems call their truncate sequence from ->setattr if filesystem specific operations are required. vmtruncate is deprecated, and truncate_pagecache and inode_newsize_ok helpers introduced previously should be used. simple_setattr is introduced for simple in-ram filesystems to implement the new truncate sequence. Eventually all filesystems should be converted to implement a setattr, and the default code in notify_change should go away. simple_setsize is also introduced to perform just the ATTR_SIZE portion of simple_setattr (ie. changing i_size and trimming pagecache). To implement the new truncate sequence: - filesystem specific manipulations (eg freeing blocks) must be done in the setattr method rather than ->truncate. - vmtruncate can not be used by core code to trim blocks past i_size in the event of write failure after allocation, so this must be performed in the fs code. - convert usage of helpers block_write_begin, nobh_write_begin, cont_write_begin, and *blockdev_direct_IO* to use _newtrunc postfixed variants. These avoid calling vmtruncate to trim blocks (see previous). - inode_setattr should not be used. generic_setattr is a new function to be used to copy simple attributes into the generic inode. - make use of the better opportunity to handle errors with the new sequence. Big problem with the previous calling sequence: the filesystem is not called until i_size has already changed. This means it is not allowed to fail the call, and also it does not know what the previous i_size was. Also, generic code calling vmtruncate to truncate allocated blocks in case of error had no good way to return a meaningful error (or, for example, atomically handle block deallocation).

Erik van der Kouwe authored
The MINIX filesystem driver used a constant number of indirect block pointers in an indirect block. This worked only for filesystems with 1kb block, while the MINIX default block size is now 4kb. As a consequence, large files were read incorrectly on such filesystems and writing a large file would cause the filesystem to become corrupted. This patch computes the number of indirect block pointers based on the block size, making the driver work for each block size. I would like to thank Feiran Zheng ('Fam') for pointing out the cause of the corruption. Signed-off-by: Erik van der Kouwe <vdkouwe@cs.vu.nl> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently. The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with, the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync which can lead to some confusion. This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious what to expect. In addition add some documentation for both methods. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

__aio_put_req() plays sick games with file refcount. What it wants is fput() from atomic context; it's almost always done with f_count > 1, so they only have to deal with delayed work in rare cases when their reference happens to be the last one. Current code decrements f_count and if it hasn't hit 0, everything is fine. Otherwise it keeps a pointer to struct file (with zero f_count!) around and has delayed work do __fput() on it. Better way to do it: use atomic_long_add_unless( , -1, 1) instead of !atomic_long_dec_and_test(). IOW, decrement it only if it's not the last reference, leave refcount alone if it was. And use normal fput() in delayed work. I've made that atomic_long_add_unless call a new helper - fput_atomic(). Drops a reference to file if it's safe to do in atomic (i.e. if that's not the last one), tells if it had been able to do that. aio.c converted to it, __fput() use is gone. req->ki_file *always* contributes to refcount now. And __fput() became static. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Commit 1f36f774 broke FS_REVAL_DOT semantics. In particular, before this patch, the command ls -l in an NFS mounted directory would always check if the directory on the server had changed and if so would flush and refill the pagecache for the dir. After this patch, the same "ls -l" will repeatedly return stale date until the cached attributes for the directory time out. The following patch fixes this by ensuring the d_revalidate is called by do_last when "." is being looked-up. link_path_walk has already called d_revalidate, but in that case LOOKUP_OPEN is not set so nfs_lookup_verify_inode chooses not to do any validation. The following patch restores the original behaviour. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
