The function ext3_mark_recovery_complete() is called from two call paths: either (a) while mounting the filesystem, in which case there's no danger of any other CPU calling write_super() until the mount is completed, and (b) while remounting the filesystem read-write, in which case the fs core has already locked the superblock. This also allows us to take out a very vile unlock_super()/lock_super() pair in ext3_remount(). Port of ext4 commit a63c9eb2 by Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>.

Currently inode_reservation is managed by fs itself and this reservation is transfered on dquot_transfer(). This means what inode_reservation must always be in sync with dquot->dq_dqb.dqb_rsvspace. Otherwise dquot_transfer() will result in incorrect quota(WARN_ON in dquot_claim_reserved_space() will be triggered) This is not easy because of complex locking order issues for example http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14739 The patch introduce quota reservation field for each fs-inode (fs specific inode is used in order to prevent bloating generic vfs inode). This reservation is managed by quota code internally similar to i_blocks/i_bytes and may not be always in sync with internal fs reservation. Also perform some code rearrangement: - Unify dquot_reserve_space() and dquot_reserve_space() - Unify dquot_release_reserved_space() and dquot_free_space() - Also this patch add missing warning update to release_rsv() dquot_release_reserved_space() must call flush_warnings() as dquot_free_space() does.

This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation. The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it. FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory resources. I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use: - The API is to simple, important functions are missing - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not - There is no support for data records inside a fifo So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up the API to much. The new API has the following benefits: - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver. - Provide an API for the most use case. - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions. - Linux style habit. - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo. - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator. - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo, which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary. - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if one is required. - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported: - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size field of 1 bytes. - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size field of 2 bytes. - Fixed size records, which no record size field. - Preserve memory resource. - Performance! - Easy to use! This patch: Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object, reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

This reverts commit 7bc7d637, as requested by John Stultz. Quoting John: "Petr Titěra reported an issue where he saw odd atime regressions with 2.6.33 where there were a full second worth of nanoseconds in the nanoseconds field. He also reviewed the time code and narrowed down the problem: unhandled overflow of the nanosecond field caused by rounding up the sub-nanosecond accumulated time. Details: * At the end of update_wall_time(), we currently round up the sub-nanosecond portion of accumulated time when storing it into xtime. This was added to avoid time inconsistencies caused when the sub-nanosecond portion was truncated when storing into xtime. Unfortunately we don't handle the possible second overflow caused by that rounding. * Previously the xtime_cache code hid this overflow by normalizing the xtime value when storing into the xtime_cache. * We could try to handle the second overflow after the rounding up, but since this affects the timekeeping's internal state, this would further complicate the next accumulation cycle, causing small errors in ntp steering. As much as I'd like to get rid of it, the xtime_cache code is known to work. * The correct fix is really to include the sub-nanosecond portion in the timekeeping accessor function, so we don't need to round up at during accumulation. This would greatly simplify the accumulation code. Unfortunately, we can't do this safely until the last three non-GENERIC_TIME arches (sparc32, arm, cris) are converted (those patches are in -mm) and we kill off the spots where arches set xtime directly. This is all 2.6.34 material, so I think reverting the xtime_cache change is the best approach for now. Many thanks to Petr for both reporting and finding the issue!" Reported-by:

The power management of some devices is handled through device types and device classes rather than through bus types. Since these devices may also benefit from using the run-time power management core, extend it so that the device type and device class run-time PM callbacks can be taken into consideration by it if the bus type callback is not defined. Update the run-time PM core documentation to reflect this change. Signed-off-by: -

* pull ACC_MODE to fs.h; we have several copies all over the place * nightmarish expression calculating f_mode by f_flags deserves a helper too (OPEN_FMODE(flags)) Signed-off-by: -

Just set f_flags when shoving struct file into nameidata; don't postpone that until __dentry_open(). do_filp_open() has correct value; lookup_instantiate_filp() doesn't - we lose the difference between O_RDWR and 3 by that point. We still set .intent.open.flags, so no fs code needs to be changed. Signed-off-by: -

It seems a couple places such as arch/ia64/kernel/perfmon.c and drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c could use anon_inode_getfile() instead of a private pseudo-fs + alloc_file(), if only there were a way to get a read-only file. So provide this by having anon_inode_getfile() create a read-only file if we pass O_RDONLY in flags. Signed-off-by:

No driver uses SG_SET_TRANSFORM any more in Linux, since the ide-scsi driver was removed in 2.6.29. The compat-ioctl cleanup series moved the handling for this around, which broke building without CONFIG_BLOCK. Just remove the code handling it for compat mode. Signed-off-by: -
