2006-12-07[PATCH] Function v9fs_get_idpool returns int, not u32 as called twice in ↵Mika Kukkonen
fs/9p/vfs_inode.c Function v9fs_get_idpool returns int, not u32. Actually it returns -1 on errors, and these two callers check if the value is smaller than 0, which was caught by gcc with extra warning flags. Compile tested only but should be OK, as the value computed in v9fs_get_idpool() is also int.

2006-12-07[PATCH] handle ext4 directory corruption betterEric Sandeen
I've been using Steve Grubb's purely evil "fsfuzzer" tool, at http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/fsfuzzer-0.4.tar.gz Basically it makes a filesystem, splats some random bits over it, then tries to mount it and do some simple filesystem actions. At best, the filesystem catches the corruption gracefully. At worst, things spin out of control. As you might guess, we found a couple places in ext4 where things spin out of control :) First, we had a corrupted directory that was never checked for consistency... it was corrupt, and pointed to another bad "entry" of length 0. The for() loop looped forever, since the length of ext4_next_entry(de) was 0, and we kept looking at the same pointer over and over and over and over... I modeled this check and subsequent action on what is done for other directory types in ext4_readdir... (adding this check adds some computational expense; I am testing a followup patch to reduce the number of times we check and re-check these directory entries, in all cases. Thanks for the idea, Andreas). Next we had a root directory inode which had a corrupted size, claimed to be > 200M on a 4M filesystem. There was only really 1 block in the directory, but because the size was so large, readdir kept coming back for more, spewing thousands of printk's along the way. Per Andreas' suggestion, if we're in this read error condition and we're trying to read an offset which is greater than i_blocks worth of bytes, stop trying, and break out of the loop. With these two changes fsfuzz test survives quite well on ext4.

One of our test team hit a reiserfs_panic while running fsstress tests on 2.6.19-rc1.

2006-12-07[PATCH] file: kill unnecessary timer in fdtable_deferTejun Heo
free_fdtable_rc() schedules timer to reschedule fddef->wq if schedule_work() on it returns 0. However, schedule_work() guarantees that the target work is executed at least once after the scheduling regardless of its return value. 0 return simply means that the work was already pending and thus no further action was required. Another problem is that it used contant '5' as @expires argument to mod_timer(). Kill unnecessary fddef->timer.

2006-12-07[PATCH] fuse: add support for block device based filesystemsMiklos Szeredi
I never intended this, but people started using fuse to implement block device based "real" filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs). The following four patches add better support for these kinds of filesystems. Unlike "normal" fuse filesystems, using this feature should require superuser privileges (enforced by the fusermount utility). Thanks to Szabolcs Szakacsits for the input and testing. This patch adds a 'fuseblk' filesystem type, which is only different from the 'fuse' filesystem type in how the 'dev_name' mount argument is interpreted.

2006-12-07[PATCH] Fix check_partition routinesSuzuki K P
check_partition() stops its probe once it hits an I/O error from the partition checkers. This would prevent the actual partition checker getting a chance to verify the partition. So this patch lets check_partition() continue probing untill it hits a success while recording the I/O error which might have been reported by the checking routines. Also, it does some cleanup of the partition methods for ibm, atari and amiga to return -1 upon hitting an I/O error.

2006-12-07[PATCH] fix rescan_partitions to return errors properlySuzuki Kp
The current rescan_partition implementation ignores the errors that comes from the lower layer. It reports success for unknown partitions as well as I/O error cases while reading the partition information. The unknown partition is not (and will not be) considered as an error in the kernel, since there are legal users of it (e.g, members of a RAID5 MD Device or a new disk which is not partitioned at all ). Changing this behaviour would scare the user about a serious problem with their disk and is not recommended. Thus for both "unknown partitions" to the Linux (eg., DEC VMS,Novell Netware) and the legal users of NULL partition, would still be reported as "SUCCESS". The patch attached here, scares the user about something which he does need to worry about. i.e, returning -EIO on disk I/O errors while reading the partition information.

2006-12-07[PATCH] Allow user processes to raise their oom_adj valueGuillem Jover
Currently a user process cannot rise its own oom_adj value (i.e. unprotecting itself from the OOM killer). As this value is stored in the task structure it gets inherited and the unprivileged childs will be unable to rise it. The EPERM will be handled by the generic proc fs layer, as only processes with the proper caps or the owner of the process will be able to write to the file. So we allow only the processes with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE to lower the value, otherwise it will get an EACCES which seems more appropriate than EPERM.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] coredump: Add SPU elf notes to coredump.Dwayne Grant McConnell
This patch adds SPU elf notes to the coredump. It creates a separate note for each of /regs, /fpcr, /lslr, /decr, /decr_status, /mem, /signal1, /signal1_type, /signal2, /signal2_type, /event_mask, /event_status, /mbox_info, /ibox_info, /wbox_info, /dma_info, /proxydma_info, /object-id. A new macro, ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created for architectures to specify they have extra elf core notes. A new macro, ELF_CORE_EXTRA_NOTES_SIZE, was created so the size of the additional notes could be calculated and added to the notes phdr entry. A new macro, ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created so the new notes would be written after the existing notes. The SPU coredump code resides in spufs. Stub functions are provided in the kernel which are hooked into the spufs code which does the actual work via register_arch_coredump_calls(). A new set of __spufs_<file>_read/get() functions was provided to allow the coredump code to read from the spufs files without having to lock the SPU context for each file read from.

2006-12-01ocfs2: implement i_op->permissionTiger Yang
Implement .permission() in ocfs2_file_iops, ocfs2_special_file_iops and ocfs2_dir_iops. This helps us avoid some multi-node races with mode change and vfs operations. Signed-off-by: Tiger Yang <tiger.yang@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2006-12-01configfs: make configfs_dirent_exists() staticAdrian Bunk
This patch makes the needlessly global configfs_dirent_exists() static. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2006-12-01ocfs2: update file system paths to set atimeTiger Yang
Conditionally update atime in ocfs2_file_aio_read(), ocfs2_readdir() and ocfs2_mmap(). Signed-off-by: Tiger Yang <tiger.yang@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2006-12-01ocfs2: core atime update functionsTiger Yang
This patch adds the core routines for updating atime in ocfs2. Signed-off-by: Tiger Yang <tiger.yang@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2006-12-01ocfs2: Add splice supportTiger Yang
Add splice read/write support in ocfs2. ocfs2_file_splice_read/write are very similar to ocfs2_file_aio_read/write. Signed-off-by: Tiger Yang <tiger.yang@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

2006-12-01configfs: mutex_lock_nested() fixMark Fasheh
configfs_unregister_subsystem() nests a pair of inode i_mutex acquisitions, and thus needs annotation via mutex_lock_nested(). Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2006-12-01ocfs2: Remove struct ocfs2_journal_handle in favor of handle_tMark Fasheh
This is mostly a search and replace as ocfs2_journal_handle is now no more than a container for a handle_t pointer. ocfs2_commit_trans() becomes very straight forward, and we remove some out of date comments / code. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2006-12-01ocfs2: remove handle argument to ocfs2_start_trans()Mark Fasheh
All callers either pass in NULL directly, or a local variable that is already set to NULL. The internals of ocfs2_start_trans() get a nice cleanup as a result. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
