2008-04-17udf: move headers out include/linux/Christoph Hellwig
There's really no reason to keep udf headers in include/linux as they're not used by anything but fs/udf/. This patch merges most of include/linux/udf_fs_i.h into fs/udf/udf_i.h, include/linux/udf_fs_sb.h into fs/udf/udf_sb.h and include/linux/udf_fs.h into fs/udf/udfdecl.h. The only thing remaining in include/linux/ is a stub of udf_fs_i.h defining the four user-visible udf ioctls.

2008-02-29[XFS] If you mount an XFS filesystem with no mount options at all, thenJosef Jeff Sipek
the "ikeep" option is set rather than "noikeep". This regression was introduced in 970451. With no mount options specified, xfs_parseargs() does the following: int ikeep = 0; args->flags |= XFSMNT_BARRIER; args->flags2 |= XFSMNT2_COMPAT_IOSIZE; if (!options) goto done; It only sets the above two options by default and before, it also used to set XFSMNT_IDELETE by default. If options are specified, then if (!(args->flags & XFSMNT_DMAPI) && !ikeep) args->flags |= XFSMNT_IDELETE; is executed later on which is skipped by the "goto done;" above. The solution is to invert the logic.

2008-02-25latencytop: fix kernel panic while reading latency proc fileHiroshi Shimamoto

In lstats_open(), get_proc_task() can return NULL, in which case the kernel will oops at lstats_show_proc() because m->private is NULL. When get_proc_task() returns NULL, the kernel should return -ENOENT. This can be reproduced by the following script. while : do date bash -c 'ls > ls.$$' & pid=$! cat /proc/$pid/latency & cat /proc/$pid/latency & cat /proc/$pid/latency & cat /proc/$pid/latency done Signed-off-by: Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto@ct.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-02-25ext4: Fix BUG when writing to an unitialized extentMingming Cao
This patch fixes a bug when writing to preallocated but uninitialized blocks, which resulted in a BUG in fs/buffer.c saying that the buffer is not mapped. When writing to a file, ext4_get_block_wrap() is called with create=1 in order to request that blocks be allocated if necessary. It currently calls ext4_get_blocks() with create=0 in order to do a lookup first. If the inode contains an unitialized data block, the buffer head is left unampped, which ext4_get_blocks_wrap() returns, causing the BUG. We fix this by checking to see if the buffer head is unmapped, and if so, we make sure the the buffer head is mapped by calling ext4_ext_get_blocks with create=1.

Sorry for the noise, but here's the v3 of this compilation fix :) There are some places, which declare the char buf[...] on the stack to push it later into dprintk(). Since the dprintk sometimes (if the CONFIG_SYSCTL=n) becomes an empty do { } while (0) stub, these buffers cause gcc to produce appropriate warnings.

2008-02-21Remove empty file remnants that were left in the tree by mistakeLinus Torvalds
Noted by various people (Sam, Jeff, Roland..) Commit 58b7983d15a422d9616bdc4e245d5c31dfaefbe2 intended to remove the xfs "Makefile-linux-2.6" file, but it was mistakenly still left in the tree as a empty file, and would cause git to correctly complain about a tracked file being removed after a "make distclean" (which removes empty files as garbage). And the asm-x86/desc_64.h file was supposed to be removed by commit c81c6ca45a69478c7877b729af1942d2b80ef582, but instead stayed around containing just a single newline.

2008-02-20NFS: flush signals before taking down callback threadJeff Layton
Now that the reference counting on the callback thread is working as expected, it uncovers another problem. Peter Staubach noticed while testing that patch on an older kernel that he would occasionally see this printk in rpc_register fire: "RPC: failed to contact portmap (errno -512). The NFSv4 callback thread is signaled by nfs_callback_down(), but never flushes that signal. All of the shutdown processing is done with that signal pending. This makes it fail the call to unregister the port with the portmapper. In actuality, this rpc_register call isn't necessary at all since the port isn't actually registered with the portmapper anymore. Regardless, there doesn't seem to be any reason to leave the signal pending while the thread is being shut down and flushing it should generally silence that printk.

2008-02-15ext4: modify block allocation algorithm for the last groupValerie Clement
When a directory inode is allocated in the last group and the last group contains less than s_blocks_per_group blocks, the initial block allocated for the directory is not always allocated in the same group as the directory inode, but in one of the first groups of the filesystem (group 1 for example). Depending on the current process's pid, ext4_find_near() and ext4_ext_find_goal() can return a block number greater than the maximum blocks count in the filesystem and in that case the block will be not allocated in the same group as the inode.
