      ext4: fix xfstests 75, 112, 127 punch hole failure · ba06208a
      Allison Henderson authored
      This patch addresses a bug found by xfstests 75, 112, 127
      when blocksize = 1k
      
      This bug happens because the punch hole code only zeros
      out non block aligned regions of the page.  This means that if the
      blocks are smaller than a page, then the block aligned regions of
      the page inside the hole are left un-zeroed, and their buffer heads
      are still mapped.  This bug is corrected by using
      ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers to properly zero the partial page
      at the head and tail of the hole, and unmap the corresponding buffer
      heads
      
      This patch also addresses a bug reported by Lukas while working on a
      new patch to add discard support for loop devices using punch hole.
      The bug happened because of the first and last block number
      needed to be cast to a larger data type before calculating the
      byte offset, but since now we only need the byte offsets of the
      pages, we no longer even need to be calculating the byte offsets
      of the blocks.  The code to do the block offset calculations is
      removed in this patch.

      ext4: Add new ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers routines · 4e96b2db
      Allison Henderson authored
      This patch adds two new routines: ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers
      and ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock.
      
      The ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers routine is a wrapper
      function to ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock.
      The wrapper function locks the page and passes it to
      ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock.
      Calling functions that already have the page locked can call
      ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock directly.
      
      The ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock function
      zeros a specified range in a page, and unmaps the
      corresponding buffer heads.  Only block aligned regions of the
      page will have their buffer heads unmapped.  Unblock aligned regions
      will be mapped if needed so that they can be updated with the
      partial zero out.  This function is meant to
      be used to update a page and its buffer heads to be zeroed
      and unmapped when the corresponding blocks have been released
      or will be released.
      
      This routine is used in the following scenarios:
      * A hole is punched and the non page aligned regions
        of the head and tail of the hole need to be discarded
      
      * The file is truncated and the partial page beyond EOF needs
        to be discarded
      
      * The end of a hole is in the same page as EOF.  After the
        page is flushed, the partial page beyond EOF needs to be
        discarded.
      
      * A write operation begins or ends inside a hole and the partial
        page appearing before or after the write needs to be discarded
      
      * A write operation extends EOF and the partial page beyond EOF
        needs to be discarded
      
      This function takes a flag EXT4_DISCARD_PARTIAL_PG_ZERO_UNMAPPED
      which is used when a write operation begins or ends in a hole.
      When the EXT4_DISCARD_PARTIAL_PG_ZERO_UNMAPPED flag is used, only
      buffer heads that are already unmapped will have the corresponding
      regions of the page zeroed.

      ext4: call ext4_handle_dirty_metadata with correct inode in ext4_dx_add_entry · 5930ea64
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      ext4_dx_add_entry manipulates bh2 and frames[0].bh, which are two buffer_heads
      that point to directory blocks assigned to the directory inode.  However, the

      correct the code to dirty the directory buffers with the directory inode, not
      the file inode.

      When ext4_rename performs a directory rename (move), dir_bh is a

      This doesn't make much sense, and it exposes a bug in the kernel where
      attempts to create a new file in an append-only directory using

      ext4: remove i_mutex lock in ext4_evict_inode to fix lockdep complaining · 8c0bec21
      Jiaying Zhang authored
      The i_mutex lock and flush_completed_IO() added by commit 2581fdc8
      in ext4_evict_inode() causes lockdep complaining about potential
      deadlock in several places.  In most/all of these LOCKDEP complaints
      it looks like it's a false positive, since many of the potential
      circular locking cases can't take place by the time the
      ext4_evict_inode() is called; but since at the very least it may mask
      real problems, we need to address this.
      
      This change removes the flush_completed_IO() and i_mutex lock in
      ext4_evict_inode().  Instead, we take a different approach to resolve
      the software lockup that commit 2581fdc8 intends to fix.  Rather
      than having ext4-dio-unwritten thread wait for grabing the i_mutex
      lock of an inode, we use mutex_trylock() instead, and simply requeue
      the work item if we fail to grab the inode's i_mutex lock.
      
      This should speed up work queue processing in general and also
      prevents the following deadlock scenario: During page fault,
      shrink_icache_memory is called that in turn evicts another inode B.
      Inode B has some pending io_end work so it calls ext4_ioend_wait()
      that waits for inode B's i_ioend_count to become zero.  However, inode
      B's ioend work was queued behind some of inode A's ioend work on the
      same cpu's ext4-dio-unwritten workqueue.  As the ext4-dio-unwritten
      thread on that cpu is processing inode A's ioend work, it tries to
      grab inode A's i_mutex lock.  Since the i_mutex lock of inode A is
      still hold before the page fault happened, we enter a deadlock.

      ext4: flush any pending end_io requests before DIO reads w/dioread_nolock · dccaf33f
      Jiaying Zhang authored
      There is a race between ext4 buffer write and direct_IO read with
      dioread_nolock mount option enabled. The problem is that we clear
      PageWriteback flag during end_io time but will do
      uninitialized-to-initialized extent conversion later with dioread_nolock.
      If an O_direct read request comes in during this period, ext4 will return
      zero instead of the recently written data.
      
      This patch checks whether there are any pending uninitialized-to-initialized
      extent conversion requests before doing O_direct read to close the race.
      Note that this is just a bandaid fix. The fundamental issue is that we
      clear PageWriteback flag before we really complete an IO, which is
      problem-prone. To fix the fundamental issue, we may need to implement an
      extent tree cache that we can use to look up pending to-be-converted extents.

      drm/i915: set GFX_MODE to pre-Ivybridge default value even on Ivybridge · b095cd0a
      Jesse Barnes authored
      Prior to Ivybridge, the GFX_MODE would default to 0x800, meaning that
      MI_FLUSH would flush the TLBs in addition to the rest of the caches
      indicated in the MI_FLUSH command.  However starting with Ivybridge, the
      register defaults to 0x2800 out of reset, meaning that to invalidate the
      TLB we need to use PIPE_CONTROL.  Since we're not doing that yet, go
      back to the old default so things work.

      ALSA: usb-audio - Fix missing mixer dB information · 38b65190
      Takashi Iwai authored
      The recent fix for testing dB range at the mixer creation time seems
      to cause regressions in some devices.  In such devices, reading the dB
      info at probing time gives an error, thus both dBmin and dBmax are still
      zero, and TLV flag isn't set although the later read of dB info succeeds.
      
      This patch adds a workaround for such a case by assuming that the later
      read will succeed.  In future, a similar test should be performed in a
      case where a wrong dB range is seen even in the later read.

      drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c: add missing kfree · a081da63
      Julia Lawall authored
      Currently, error handling code in this function calls the function
      sata_dwc_port_stop, but this function has essentially no effect if hsdevp
      has not been stored in ap, which is the case throughout this function.  The
      only effect is to print a debugging message including ap->print_id.
      
      The code is rewritten to not call sata_dwc_port_stop, but instead to jump
      to a local label that prints the original error message and the print_id
      information.  In the case where hsdevp has been already allocated (but not
      yet stored in ap), this value is freed as well.

      pata_via: disable ATAPI DMA on AVERATEC 3200 · 6d0e194d
      Tejun Heo authored
      On AVERATEC 3200, pata_via causes memory corruption with ATAPI DMA,
      which often leads to random kernel oops.  The cause of the problem is
      not well understood yet and only small subset of machines using the
      controller seem affected.  Blacklist ATAPI DMA on the machine.

      [libata] sata_sil: fix used-uninit warning · ebd1699e
      Jeff Garzik authored
      Init 'serror' to silence the following warning:
      
      drivers/ata/sata_sil.c: In function ‘sil_interrupt’:
      drivers/ata/sata_sil.c:453:14: warning: ‘serror’ may be used uninitialized in
      this function [-Wuninitialized]
      
      This is not a 'can never happen' but is nonetheless extremely unlikely.
      The easiest and cleanest warning fix is simply to init the var,
      rather than worry about marking the var uninit-ok.
