Code to manage symlinks in /sys/block/*/{holders|slaves} are overly complex with multiple holder considerations, redundant extra references to all involved kobjects, unused generic kobject holder support and unnecessary mixup with bd_claim/release functionalities. Strip it down to what's necessary (single gendisk holder) and make it use a separate interface. This is a step for cleaning up bd_claim/release. This patch makes dm-table slightly more complex but it will be simplified again with further changes.

Tejun Heo authored
There are two bdev exclusive open bugs. * open_bdev_exclusive() must not be called with NULL holder. Use dev as the holder. * open_by_devnum() doesn't open the bdev exclusively but block2mtd_free_device() always assumes it. Explicitly claim the bdev. The latter is rather clumsy but will be simplified with future blkdev_get/put() cleanups. - Updated to use local variable @mode to cache FMODE_* masks as suggested by Artem Bityutskiy.

As pointed out by Linus, commit dab5855b ("perf_counter: Add mmap event hooks to mprotect()") is fundamentally wrong as mprotect_fixup() can free 'vma' due to merging. Fix the problem by moving perf_event_mmap() hook to mprotect_fixup(). Note: there's another successful return path from mprotect_fixup() if old flags equal to new flags. We don't, however, need to call perf_event_mmap() there because 'perf' already knows the VMA is executable.

Commit 13cfb733 made cifs_ioctl use the tlink attached to the cifsFileInfo for a filp. This ignores the case of an open directory however, which in CIFS can have a NULL private_data until a readdir is done on it. This patch re-adds the NULL pointer checks that were removed in commit 50ae28f0 and moves the setting of tcon and "caps" variables lower. Long term, a better fix would be to establish a f_op->open routine for directories that populates that field at open time, but that requires some other changes to how readdir calls are handled.

Commit 5c521830 (ext4: Support discard requests when running in no-journal mode) attempts to add sb_issue_discard() for data blocks (in data=writeback mode) and in no-journal mode. Unfortunately, this no longer works, because in commit dd3932ed (block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT), sb_issue_discard() only presents a synchronous interface, and there are times when we call ext4_free_blocks() when we are are holding a spinlock, or are otherwise in an atomic context. For now, I've removed the call to sb_issue_discard() to prevent a deadlock or (if spinlock debugging is enabled) failures like this: BUG: scheduling while atomic: rc.sysinit/1376/0x00000002 Pid: 1376, comm: rc.sysinit Not tainted 2.6.36-ARCH #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810397ce>] __schedule_bug+0x5e/0x70 [<ffffffff81403110>] schedule+0x950/0xa70 [<ffffffff81060bad>] ? insert_work+0x7d/0x90 [<ffffffff81060fbd>] ? queue_work_on+0x1d/0x30 [<ffffffff81061127>] ? queue_work+0x37/0x60 [<ffffffff8140377d>] schedule_timeout+0x21d/0x360 [<ffffffff812031c3>] ? generic_make_request+0x2c3/0x540 [<ffffffff81402680>] wait_for_common+0xc0/0x150 [<ffffffff81041490>] ? default_wake_function+0x0/0x10 [<ffffffff812034bc>] ? submit_bio+0x7c/0x100 [<ffffffff810680a0>] ? wake_bit_function+0x0/0x40 [<ffffffff814027b8>] wait_for_completion+0x18/0x20 [<ffffffff8120a969>] blkdev_issue_discard+0x1b9/0x210 [<ffffffff811ba03e>] ext4_free_blocks+0x68e/0xb60 [<ffffffff811b1650>] ? __ext4_handle_dirty_metadata+0x110/0x120 [<ffffffff811b098c>] ext4_ext_truncate+0x8cc/0xa70 [<ffffffff810d713e>] ? pagevec_lookup+0x1e/0x30 [<ffffffff81191618>] ext4_truncate+0x178/0x5d0 [<ffffffff810eacbb>] ? unmap_mapping_range+0xab/0x280 [<ffffffff810d8976>] vmtruncate+0x56/0x70 [<ffffffff811925cb>] ext4_setattr+0x14b/0x460 [<ffffffff811319e4>] notify_change+0x194/0x380 [<ffffffff81117f80>] do_truncate+0x60/0x90 [<ffffffff811e08fa>] ? security_inode_permission+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff811eaec1>] ? tomoyo_path_truncate+0x11/0x20 [<ffffffff81127539>] do_last+0x5d9/0x770 [<ffffffff811278bd>] do_filp_open+0x1ed/0x680 [<ffffffff8140644f>] ? page_fault+0x1f/0x30 [<ffffffff81132bfc>] ? alloc_fd+0xec/0x140 [<ffffffff81118db1>] do_sys_open+0x61/0x120 [<ffffffff81118e8b>] sys_open+0x1b/0x20 [<ffffffff81002e6b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22302Reported-by: Mathias Burén <mathias.buren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: jiayingz@google.com

The following BUG can occur when an inode which is getting freed when it still has dirty pages outstanding, and it gets deleted (in this because it was the target of a rename). In ordered mode, we need to make sure the data pages are written just in case we crash before the rename (or unlink) is committed. If the inode is being freed then when we try to igrab the inode, we end up tripping the BUG_ON at fs/ext4/page-io.c:146. To solve this problem, we need to keep track of the number of io callbacks which are pending, and avoid destroying the inode until they have all been completed. That way we don't have to bump the inode count to keep the inode from being destroyed; an approach which doesn't work because the count could have already been dropped down to zero before the inode writeback has started (at which point we're not allowed to bump the count back up to 1, since it's already started getting freed). Thanks to Dave Chinner for suggesting this approach, which is also used by XFS. kernel BUG at /scratch_space/linux-2.6/fs/ext4/page-io.c:146!

Commit 27ae60f8 ("ipw2x00: replace "ieee80211" with "libipw" where appropriate") changed DRV_NAME to be "libipw", but didn't properly fix up the places where it was used to specify the name for the /proc/net/ directory. For backwards compatibility reasons, that directory name remained "ieee80211", but due to the DRV_NAME change, the error case printouts and the cleanup functions now used "libipw" instead. Which made it all fail badly. For example, on module unload as reported by Randy: WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:816 remove_proc_entry+0x156/0x35e() name 'libipw' because it's trying to unregister a /proc directory that obviously doesn't even exist.

posix-cpu-timers.c correctly assumes that the dying process does posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() and removes all !CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD timers from signal->cpu_timers list. But, it also assumes that timer->it.cpu.task is always the group leader, and thus the dead ->task means the dead thread group. This is obviously not true after de_thread() changes the leader. After that almost every posix_cpu_timer_ method has problems. It is not simple to fix this bug correctly. First of all, I think that timer->it.cpu should use struct pid instead of task_struct. Also, the locking should be reworked completely. In particular, tasklist_lock should not be used at all. This all needs a lot of nontrivial and hard-to-test changes. Change __exit_signal() to do posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() when the old leader dies during exec. This is not the fix, just the temporary hack to hide the problem for 2.6.37 and stable. IOW, this is obviously wrong but this is what we currently have anyway: cpu timers do not work after mt exec. In theory this change adds another race. The exiting leader can detach the timers which were attached to the new leader. However, the window between de_thread() and release_task() is small, we can pretend that sys_timer_create() was called before de_thread().

adapter->id is deprecated and not set by any adapter driver, so this was certainly not what the author wanted to use. adapter->nr maybe, but as dev_err() already includes this value, as well as the client's address, there's no point repeating them. Better print a simple error message in plain English words.
