sizeof(struct kiocb) is dangerously large for a structure commonly allocated on-stack. This patch converts the 24*sizeof(long) field, ->private, to a void pointer for use by file_operations entrypoints. A ->dtor() method is added to the kiocb in order to support the release of dynamically allocated structures referred to by ->private. The sole in-tree users of ->private are async network read/write, which are not, in fact, async, and so need not handle preallocated ->private as they would need to if ->ki_retry were ever used. The sole truly async operations are direct IO pread()/pwrite() which do not now use ->ki_retry(). All they would need to do in that case is to check for ->private already being allocated for async kiocbs. This rips 88B off the stack on 32-bit in the common case. Signed-off-by:

For each node there are a defined list of MAX_NR_ZONES zones. These are selected as a result of the __GFP_DMA and __GFP_HIGHMEM zone modifier flags being passed to the memory allocator as part of the GFP mask. Each node has a set of zone lists, node_zonelists, which defines the list and order of zones to scan for each flag combination. When initialising these lists we iterate over modifier combinations 0 .. MAX_NR_ZONES. However, this is only correct when there are at most ZONES_SHIFT flags. If another flag is introduced zonelists for it would not be initialised. This patch introduces GFP_ZONETYPES (based on GFP_ZONEMASK) as a bound for the number of modifier combinations. Signed-off-by:

Like a few other drivers the vc driver is doing unlocked careless references to file offsets. Its got kind of 2.2 locking that hasnt been updated in the lseek function so someone at least tried. Fortunately we have a real lock for this and can just make lseek use that too.

Here's the accel capabilities patch for radeonfb. It updates radeonfb to advertise its acceleration capabilities via fbinfo.flags. I've tested this on my box, and it gives me a nice fast console. defect: "$ fbset -accel 0" doesn't work for radeonfb -- disabling accel will only work from the kernel command line :-/ Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by:

This has been reported a couple of times and is consistently causing some folks grief, so Urban, would you mind terribly if i send this patch to at least clear current bug reports. If there is additional stuff you want ontop of this let me know and i can send a follow up patch. The bug is that at times we haven't completed setting up the smb_ops so we have a temporary 'null' ops in place until the connection is completely up. With this setup it's possible to hit ->readdir() whilst the null ops are still in place, so we put the process to sleep until the connection setup is complete and then call the real ->readdir().

If a fault in the kernel leads to an unexpected protection fault whilst in a code path which holds mmap_sem we will deadlock in do_page_fault() while trying to classify the fault. By carefully testing the source of the fault we can detect and OOPS on the vast majority of these, greatly enhancing diagnosis of such bugs. Signed-off-by:

Jeremy Katz of Red Hat reported that his iSeries machine would not boot with 2.6.7 based kernels. It appears that with the inclusion of Paul Mackerras' patch "Optimize exception/syscall entry/exit" a small previous patch got reverted. Here is that patch again. The lack of this patch does not stop all iSeries machines booting, but it does stop some. Signed-off-by:

ext2_setattr() drops the inode_setattr() return value on the floor. This is very bad - I/O errors during truncate are lost. The patch changes ext2_setattr() so that we no longer call ext2_acl_chmod() if inode_setattr(), which is what ext3 does. Signed-off-by:

We permanently hold the i_sem of swapfiles so that nobody can addidentally ftruncate them, causing subsequent filesystem destruction. Problem is, it's fairly easy for things like backup applications to get stuck onthe swapfile, sleeping until someone does a swapoff. So take all that out again and add a new S_SWAPFILE inode flag. Test that in the truncate path and refuse to truncate an in-use swapfile. Synchronisation between swapon and truncate is via i_sem. Signed-off-by:

ext3_direct_io_get_blocks() is misinterpreting the return value from ext3_journal_extend(), and is consequently running out of buffer credits and going BUG on tremendously large direct-io writes. Fix that up. Also, I note that the really large direct-io writes can hold a transaction open for the entire duration, which can be minutes. This violates ext3's attempt to commit data at regular intervals. Fix that up by looking at the transaction state: if it's T_LOCKED, shut off the current handle so the pending commit can complete.

Vladimir Saveliev reported anon_vma_unlink list_del BUG (LKML 24 June). His testing is still in progress, but we believe it comes from a nasty locking deficiency I introduced in 2.6.7's anon_vma_prepare. Andrea's original anon_vma_prepare was fine, it needed no anon_vma lock because it was always linking a freshly allocated structure; but my find_mergeable enhancement let it adopt a neighbouring anon_vma, which of course needs locking against a racing linkage from another mm - which the earlier adjust_vma fix seems to have made more likely. Does anon_vma->lock nest inside or outside page_table_lock? Inside, but that's not obvious without a lock ordering list: instead of listing the order here, update the list in filemap.c; but a separate patch because that's less urgent and more likely to get wrong or provoke controversy. (Could do it with anon_vma lock after dropping page_table_lock, but a long comment explaining why some code is safe suggests it's not.) Signed-off-by:
