Updating the current transaction's t_state is protected by j_state_lock. We

If the block allocator gets blocks out of system zone ext4 calls
ext4_error. But if the file system is mounted with errors=continue
retry block allocation. We need to mark the system zone blocks as
in use to make sure retry don't pick them again
System zone is the block range mapping block bitmap, inode bitmap and inode
table.

In case of inode preallocation, the number of blocks to allocate depends
on the file size and it is calculated in ext4_mb_normalize_request().
Each group in the filesystem is then checked to find one that can be
used for allocation; this is done in ext4_mb_good_group().
When a file bigger than 4MB is created, the requested number of blocks
to preallocate, calculated by ext4_mb_normalize_request is 4096.
However for a filesystem with 1KB block size, the maximum size of the
block buddies used by the multiblock allocator is 2048, so none of
groups in the filesystem satisfies the search criteria in
ext4_mb_good_group(). Scanning all the filesystem groups impacts
performance.
This was demonstrated by using a freshly created, 70GB, 1k block
filesystem, with caches dropped write before the test via
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches, and with the filesystem mounted with
nodelalloc and nodealloc,nomballoc. The time to write an 8 megabyte
file using "dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test/fo bs=8k count=1k conv=fsync"
took 35.5091 seconds (236kB/s) with nodellaloc, and 0.233754 seconds
(35.9 MB/s) with the nodelloc,nomballoc options. With a 1TB partition,
it took several minutes to write 8MB!
This patch modifies the algorithm in ext4_mb_normalize_group_request to
calculate the number of blocks to allocate by taking into account the
maximum size of free blocks chunks handled by the multiblock allocator.
It has also been tested for filesystems with 2KB and 4KB block sizes to
ensure that those cases don't regress.

In journal=data mode, it is not enough to do write_inode_now as done in
vfs_quota_on() to write all data to their final location (which is
needed for quota_read to work correctly). Calling journal_flush() does

We should not allow user to change quota mount options when quota is
just suspended. It would make mount options and internal quota state
inconsistent. Also we should not allow user to change quota format when
quota is turned on. On the other hand we can just silently ignore when
some option is set to the value it already has (mount does this on
remount).

This fix the uninitialized bs when we try to replace a xattr entry in
ibody with the new value which require more than free space.
This situation only happens we format ext3/4 with inode size more than 128 and
we have put xattr entries both in ibody and block. The consequences about
this bug is we will lost the xattr block which pointed by i_file_acl with all
xattr entires in it. We will alloc a new xattr block and put that large value
entry in it. The old xattr block will become orphan block.

There was some cleanup issues during early mount which would trigger
a kernel bug for certain types of failure. This patch reorganizes the
cleanup to get rid of the bad behavior.
This also merges the 9pnet and 9pnet_fd modules for the purpose of
configuration and initialization. Keeping the fd transport separate
from the core 9pnet code seemed like a good idea at the time, but in
practice has caused more harm and confusion than good.

more robust
match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure
that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or
forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer.
There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options(). I believe it currently
can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious.
The source string is a substing of the mount options. The kernel silently
truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero. See
compat_sys_mount() and do_mount().
The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from
name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX.
We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE. PATH_MAX is 4096. As far as
I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096.
Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct. It
doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

Prior to 2.6.26 fuse only supported single page write requests. In theory all
fuse filesystem should be able support bigger than 4k writes, as there's
nothing in the API to prevent it. Unfortunately there's a known case in
NTFS-3G where big writes cause filesystem corruption. There could also be
other filesystems, where the lack of testing with big write requests would
result in bugs.
To prevent such problems on a kernel upgrade, disable big writes by default,
but let filesystems set a flag to turn it on.

When mm destruction happens, we should pass mm_update_next_owner() the old mm.
But unfortunately new mm is passed in exec_mmap().
Thus, kernel panic is possible when a multi-threaded process uses exec().
Also, the owner member comment description is wrong. mm->owner does not
necessarily point to the thread group leader.

Fix an oops with a corrupted hfs+ image.
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10548 for details.
Problem is that we call hfs_btree_open() from hfsplus_fill_super() to set
HFSPLUS_SB(sb).[ext_tree|cat_tree] Both trees are still NULL at this moment.
If hfs_btree_open() fails for any reason it calls iput() on the page, which
gets to hfsplus_releasepage() which tries to access HFSPLUS_SB(sb).* which is
still NULL and oopses while dereferencing it.

* consistency (I can see all of the other per-thread/process sets in

* debugging -- I could imagine that it would make the job of debugging an

Sometimes, vfs_quota_off() is called on a partially set up super block (for
example when fill_super() fails for some reason). In such cases we cannot
call ->sync_fs() because it can Oops because of not properly filled in super
block. So in case we find there's not quota to turn off, we just skip
everything and return which fixes the above problem.

It acts exactly like a regular 'cond_resched()', but will not get
optimized away when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set.
Normal kernel code is already preemptable in the presense of
CONFIG_PREEMPT, so cond_resched() is optimized away (see commit
02b67cc3ba36bdba351d6c3a00593f4ec550d9d3 "sched: do not do
cond_resched() when CONFIG_PREEMPT").
But when wanting to conditionally reschedule while holding a lock, you
need to use "cond_sched_lock(lock)", and the new function is the BKL
equivalent of that.
Also make fs/locks.c use it.

cifs_demultiplex_thread can exit under several conditions:
1) if it's signaled
2) if there's a problem with session setup
3) if kthread_stop is called on it
The first two are problems. If kthread_stop is called on the thread,
there is no guarantee that it will still be up. We need to have the
thread stay up until kthread_stop is called on it.
One option would be to not even try to tear things down until after
kthread_stop is called. However, in the case where there is a problem
setting up the session, there's no real reason to try continuing the
loop.
This patch allows the thread to clean up and prepare for exit under all
three conditions, but it has the thread go to sleep until kthread_stop
is called. This allows us to simplify the shutdown code somewhat since
we can be reasonably sure that the thread won't exit after being
signaled but before kthread_stop is called.
It also removes the places where the thread itself set the tsk variable
since it appeared that it could have a potential race where the thread
might never be shut down.

create and mkdir
When creating a directory on a CIFS share without POSIX extensions,
and the given mode has no write bits set, set the ATTR_READONLY bit.
When creating a file, set ATTR_READONLY if the create mode has no write
bits set and we're not using unix extensions.
There are some comments about this being problematic due to the VFS
splitting creates into 2 parts. I'm not sure what that's actually
talking about, but I'm assuming that it has something to do with how
mknod is implemented. In the simple case where we have no unix
extensions and we're just creating a regular file, there's no reason
we can't set ATTR_READONLY.

Was a holdover from the old kernel_thread based cifsd
code. We needed to know that the thread had set the task variable
before proceeding. Now that kthread_run returns the new task, this
doesn't appear to be needed anymore.
As best I can tell, this sleep was intended to try to prevent
cifs_umount from freeing the cifsSesInfo struct before cifsd had
exited. Now that cifsd is using the kthread API, we know that
when kthread_stop returns that cifsd has exited, so I don't
think this is needed any longer.

fcntl_setlk()/close() race prevention has a subtle hole - we need to
make sure that if we *do* have an fcntl/close race on SMP box, the
access to descriptor table and inode->i_flock won't get reordered.
As it is, we get STORE inode->i_flock, LOAD descriptor table entry vs.
STORE descriptor table entry, LOAD inode->i_flock with not a single
lock in common on both sides. We do have BKL around the first STORE,
but check in locks_remove_posix() is outside of BKL and for a good
reason - we don't want BKL on common path of close(2).
Solution is to hold ->file_lock around fcheck() in there; that orders
us wrt removal from descriptor table that preceded locks_remove_posix()
on close path and we either come first (in which case eviction will be
handled by the close side) or we'll see the effect of close and do
eviction ourselves. Note that even though it's read-only access,
we do need ->file_lock here - rcu_read_lock() won't be enough to
order the things.
