      Increase OSF partition limit from 8 to 18 · 34d211a2
      Linus Torvalds authored
      It turns out that while a maximum of 8 partitions may be what people
      "should" have had, you can actually fit up to 18 entries(*) in a sector.
      
      And some people clearly were taking advantage of that, like Michael
      Cree, who had ten partitions on one of his OSF disks.
      
      (*) The OSF partition data starts at byte offset 64 in the first sector,
          and the array of 16-byte partition entries start at offset 148 in
          the on-disk partition structure.

      prune back iprune_sem · bab1d944
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      iprune_sem is continously giving us lockdep warnings because we do take it in
      read mode in the reclaim path, but we're also doing non-NOFS allocations under
      it taken in write mode.
      
      Taking a bit deeper look at it I think it's fixable quite trivially:
      
       - for invalidate_inodes we do not need iprune_sem at all.  We have an active
         reference on the superblock, so the filesystem is not going away until it
         has finished.
       - for evict_inodes we do need it, to make sure prune_icache has done it's
         work before we tear down the superblock.  But there is no reason to
         hold it over the actual reclaim operation - it's enough to cycle through
         it after the actual reclaim to make sure we wait for any pending
         prune_icache to complete.  We just have to remove the WARN_ON for
         otherwise busy inodes as they can actually happen now.

      VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression in kernel 2.6.38 · c83ce989
      Trond Myklebust authored
      The new vfs locking scheme introduced in 2.6.38 breaks NFS sillyrename
      because the latter relies on being able to determine the parent
      directory of the dentry in the ->iput() callback in order to send the
      appropriate unlink rpc call.
      
      Looking at the code that cares about races with dput(), there doesn't
      seem to be anything that specifically uses d_parent as a test for
      whether or not there is a race:
        - __d_lookup_rcu(), __d_lookup() all test for d_hashed() after d_parent
        - shrink_dcache_for_umount() is safe since nothing else can rearrange
          the dentries in that super block.
        - have_submount(), select_parent() and d_genocide() can test for a
          deletion if we set the DCACHE_DISCONNECTED flag when the dentry
          is removed from the parent's d_subdirs list.

      Turn resolution of trailing symlinks iterative everywhere · b356379a
      Al Viro authored
      The last remaining place (resolution of nested symlink) converted
      to the loop of the same kind we have in path_lookupat() and
      path_openat().
      
      Note that we still *do* have a recursion in pathname resolution;
      can't avoid it, really.  However, it's strictly for nested symlinks
      now - i.e. ones in the middle of a pathname.
      
      link_path_walk() has lost the tail now - it always walks everything
      except the last component.
      
      do_follow_link() renamed to nested_symlink() and moved down.

      simplify link_path_walk() tail · ce052544
      Al Viro authored
      Now that link_path_walk() is called without LOOKUP_PARENT
      only from do_follow_link(), we can simplify the checks in
      last component handling.  First of all, checking if we'd
      arrived to a directory is not needed - the caller will check
      it anyway.  And LOOKUP_FOLLOW is guaranteed to be there,
      since we only get to that place with nd->depth > 0.

      perf probe: Clean up probe_point_lazy_walker() return value · 5e814dd5
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Newer compilers (gcc 4.6) complains about:
      
              return ret < 0 ?: 0;
      
      For the following reason:
      
        util/probe-finder.c: In function ‘probe_point_lazy_walker’:
        util/probe-finder.c:1331:18: error: the omitted middle operand in ?: will always be ‘true’, suggest explicit middle operand [-Werror=parentheses]
      
      And indeed the return value is a somewhat obscure (but correct) value
      of 'true', so return 'ret' instead - this is cleaner and unconfuses
      GCC as well.
