This series of patches finished "bugs fixing" mentioned here http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/31/275 . The main bugs: * for i in `seq 1 1000`; do touch $i; done - crash system * mkdir create directory without "." and ".." entries The suggested solution is work with page cache instead of straight work with blocks. Such solution has following advantages * reduce code size and its complexity * some global locks go away * fix bugs The most part of code is stolen from ext2, because of it has similar directory structure. Patches testes with UFS1 and UFS2 file systems. This patch installs i_mapping->a_ops for directory inodes and removes some duplicated code. Signed-off-by:

First of all some necessary notes about UFS by it self: To avoid waste of disk space the tail of file consists not from blocks (which is ordinary big enough, 16K usually), it consists from fragments(which is ordinary 2K). When file is growing its tail occupy 1 fragment, 2 fragments... At some stage decision to allocate whole block is made and all fragments are moved to one block. How this situation was handled before: ufs_prepare_write ->block_prepare_write ->ufs_getfrag_block ->... ->ufs_new_fragments: bh = sb_bread bh->b_blocknr = result + i; mark_buffer_dirty (bh); This is wrong solution, because: - it didn't take into consideration that there is another cache: "inode page cache" - because of sb_getblk uses not b_blocknr, (it uses page->index) to find certain block, this breaks sb_getblk. How this situation is handled now: we go though all "page inode cache", if there are no such page in cache we load it into cache, and change b_blocknr. Signed-off-by: -

* After block allocation, we map it on the same "address" as 8 others blocks * We nullify block several times: once in ufs/block.c and once in block_*write_full_page, and use different "caches" for this. Signed-off-by:

Currently, ufs write support have two sets of problems: work with files and work with directories. This series of patches should solve the first problem. This patch is similar to http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/17/61 this patch complements it. The situation the same: in ufs_trunc_(not direct), we read block, check if count of links to it is equal to one, if so we finish cycle, if not continue. Because of "count of links" always >=2 this operation cause infinite cycle and hang up the kernel. Signed-off-by:

Since raw_notifier chains don't benefit from any centralized locking protections, they shouldn't suffer from the associated limitations. Under some circumstances it might make sense for a raw_notifier callout routine to unregister itself from the notifier chain. This patch (as678) changes the notifier core to allow for such things.

There are several instances of per_cpu(foo, raw_smp_processor_id()), which is semantically equivalent to __get_cpu_var(foo) but without the warning that smp_processor_id() can give if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled. For those architectures with optimized per-cpu implementations, namely ia64, powerpc, s390, sparc64 and x86_64, per_cpu() turns into more and slower code than __get_cpu_var(), so it would be preferable to use __get_cpu_var on those platforms. This defines a __raw_get_cpu_var(x) macro which turns into per_cpu(x, raw_smp_processor_id()) on architectures that use the generic per-cpu implementation, and turns into __get_cpu_var(x) on the architectures that have an optimized per-cpu implementation.

If CONFIG_KALLSYMS is defined and if it should happen that is_exported() is given a NULL 'mod' and lookup_symbol(name, __start___ksymtab, __stop___ksymtab) returns 0, then we'll end up dereferencing a NULL pointer. Signed-off-by:

This patch contains a total rewrite of the backlight infrastructure for portable Apple computers. Backward compatibility is retained. A sysfs interface allows userland to control the brightness with more steps than before. Userland is allowed to upload a brightness curve for different monitors, similar to Mac OS X.

Clean up and refactor i386 sub-architecture setup. This change moves all the code from the asm-i386/mach-*/setup_arch_pre/post.h headers, into arch/i386/mach-*/setup.c. mach-*/setup_arch_pre.h is renamed to setup_arch.h, and contains only things which should be in header files. It is purely code-motion; there should be no functional changes at all. Several functions in arch/i386/kernel/setup.c needed to be made non-static so that they're visible to the code in mach-*/setup.c. asm-i386/setup.h is used to hold the prototypes for these functions.
