2010-01-11block: Correct handling of bottom device misaligmentMartin K. Petersen
The top device misalignment flag would not be set if the added bottom device was already misaligned as opposed to causing a stacking failure. Also massage the reporting so that an error is only returned if adding the bottom device caused the misalignment. I.e. don't return an error if the top is already flagged as misaligned.

Move sys_mmap_pgoff() from mm/util.c to mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c, where we'd expect to find such code: especially now that it contains the MAP_HUGETLB handling. Revert mm/util.c to how it was in 2.6.32. This patch just ignores MAP_HUGETLB in the nommu case, as in 2.6.32, whereas 2.6.33-rc2 reported -ENOSYS.

commit 45465487897a1c6d508b14b904dc5777f7ec7e04 ("kfifo: move struct kfifo in place") caused a compile failure in ibmvscsitgt.c because it changed a pointer to kfifo in the libsrp.h structure to a direct inclusion without including <linux/kfifo.h>. The fix is simple, just add the include, but how did this happen? This change, introduced at -rc2, hardly looks like a bug fix, and it clearly didn't go through linux-next, which would have picked up this compile failure (it only occurs on ppc because of the ibm virtual scsi target).

2009-12-30ext4: Patch up how we claim metadata blocks for quota purposesTheodore Ts'o
As reported in Kernel Bugzilla #14936, commit d21cd8f triggered a BUG in the function ext4_da_update_reserve_space() found in fs/ext4/inode.c. The root cause of this BUG() was caused by the fact that ext4_calc_metadata_amount() can severely over-estimate how many metadata blocks will be needed, especially when using direct block-mapped files. In addition, it can also badly *under* estimate how much space is needed, since ext4_calc_metadata_amount() assumes that the blocks are contiguous, and this is not always true. If the application is writing blocks to a sparse file, the number of metadata blocks necessary can be severly underestimated by the functions ext4_da_reserve_space(), ext4_da_update_reserve_space() and ext4_da_release_space(). This was the cause of the dq_claim_space reports found on kerneloops.org. Unfortunately, doing this right means that we need to massively over-estimate the amount of free space needed. So in some cases we may need to force the inode to be written to disk asynchronously in to avoid spurious quota failures. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14936 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

It would appear that in BIOS's with nVidia hooks, the GUID 05901221-D566-11D1-B2F0-00A0C9062910 is duplicated. For now, the simplest solution is to just ignore any duplicate GUIDs.

2009-12-30md: allow a resync that is waiting for other resync to complete, to be aborted.NeilBrown
If two arrays share a device, then they will not both resync at the same time. One will wait for the other to complete. While waiting, the MD_RECOVERY_INTR flag is not checked so a device failure, which would make the resync pointless, does not cause the resync to abort, so the failed device cannot be removed (as it cannot be remove while a resync is happening). So add a test for MD_RECOVERY_INTR. Reported-by: Brett Russ <bruss@netezza.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

So the code in do_md_run to get around the fact that md_check_recovery (which calls ->hot_remove_disks) would remove partially-in-sync devices is no longer needed. So remove it.

2009-12-30md: fix small irregularity with start_ro module parameterNeilBrown
The start_ro modules parameter can be used to force arrays to be started in 'auto-readonly' in which they are read-only until the first write. This ensures that no resync/recovery happens until something else writes to the device. This is important for resume-from-disk off an md array. However if an array is started 'readonly' (by writing 'readonly' to the 'array_state' sysfs attribute) we want it to be really 'readonly', not 'auto-readonly'. So strengthen the condition to only set auto-readonly if the array is not already read-only. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2009-12-30md: Fix unfortunate interaction with evmsNeilBrown
evms configures md arrays by: open device send ioctl close device for each different ioctl needed. Since 2.6.29, the device can disappear after the 'close' unless a significant configuration has happened to the device. The change made by "SET_ARRAY_INFO" can too minor to stop the device from disappearing, but important enough that losing the change is bad. So: make sure SET_ARRAY_INFO sets mddev->ctime, and keep the device active as long as ctime is non-zero (it gets zeroed with lots of other things when the array is stopped). This is suitable for -stable kernels since 2.6.29. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org
