[jffs2] kill wbuf_queued/wbuf_dwork_lock

2014-10-09T06:39:01+00:00

schedule_delayed_work() happening when the work is already pending is
a cheap no-op.  Don't bother with ->wbuf_queued logics - it's both
broken (cancelling ->wbuf_dwork leaves it set, as spotted by Jeff Harris)
and pointless.  It's cheaper to let schedule_delayed_work() handle that
case.

initramfs: support initramfs that is bigger than 2GiB

2014-08-08T22:57:26+00:00

Now with 64bit bzImage and kexec tools, we support ramdisk that size is
bigger than 2g, as we could put it above 4G.

Found compressed initramfs image could not be decompressed properly.  It
turns out that image length is int during decompress detection, and it
will become < 0 when length is more than 2G.  Furthermore, during
decompressing len as int is used for inbuf count, that has problem too.

Change len to long, that should be ok as on 32 bit platform long is
32bits.

Tested with following compressed initramfs image as root with kexec.
	gzip, bzip2, xz, lzma, lzop, lz4.
run time for populate_rootfs():
   size        name       Nehalem-EX  Westmere-EX  Ivybridge-EX
 9034400256 root_img     :   26s           24s          30s
 3561095057 root_img.lz4 :   28s           27s          27s

 "This the bunch that sat in -next + lock_parent() fix.  This is the
  minimal set; there's more pending stuff.

  In particular, I really hope to get acct.c fixes merged this cycle -
  we need that to deal sanely with delayed-mntput stuff.  In the next
  pile, hopefully - that series is fairly short and localized
  (kernel/acct.c, fs/super.c and fs/namespace.c).  In this pile: more
  iov_iter work.  Most of prereqs for ->splice_write with sane locking
  order are there and Kent's dio rewrite would also fit nicely on top of
  this pile"

signals: jffs2: fix the wrong usage of disallow_signal()

2014-06-06T23:08:11+00:00

jffs2_garbage_collect_thread() does disallow_signal(SIGHUP) around
jffs2_garbage_collect_pass() and the comment says "We don't want SIGHUP
to interrupt us".

But disallow_signal() can't ensure that jffs2_garbage_collect_pass()
won't be interrupted by SIGHUP, the problem is that SIGHUP can be
already pending when disallow_signal() is called, and in this case any
interruptible sleep won't block.

Note: this is in fact because disallow_signal() is buggy and should be
fixed, see the next changes.

But there is another reason why disallow_signal() is wrong: SIG_IGN set
by disallow_signal() silently discards any SIGHUP which can be sent
before the next allow_signal(SIGHUP).

Change this code to use sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK/SIG_BLOCK, SIGHUP).
This even matches the old (and wrong) semantics allow/disallow had when
this logic was written.
