2010-02-27Remove EXPERIMENTAL from NFS_FSCACHEChristian Kujau
There's currently an open Ubuntu bug[0], with the intent to compile NFS_FSCACHE (and possibly AFS_FSCACHE, 9P_FSCACHE) into the standard Ubuntu kernel. However, since *_FSCACHE still depends on EXPERIMENTAL, this won't happen. As Arjan van de Ven pointed out[1], the EXPERIMENTAL flag doesn't mean that much any more, I propose the following patch to fs/nfs/Kconfig. I'd do the same for fs/9p/Kconfig and fs/afs/Kconfig, but as I did not test 9p or AFS, I feel it would not be appropriate for me to remove the flag.

2010-02-26dlm: use bastmode in debugfs outputDavid Teigland
The bast mode that appears in the debugfs output should be useful on both master and process nodes. lkb_highbast is currently printed, and is only useful on the master node. lkb_bastmode is only useful on the process node. This patch sets lkb_bastmode on the master node as well, and uses that value in the debugfs print. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>

2010-02-26dlm: send reply before bastDavid Teigland
When the lock master processes a successful operation (request, convert, cancel, or unlock), it will process the effects of the change before sending the reply for the operation. The "effects" of the operation are: - blocking callbacks (basts) for any newly granted locks - waiting or converting locks that can now be granted The cast is queued on the local node when the reply from the lock master is received. This means that a lock holder can receive a bast for a lock mode that is doesn't yet know has been granted. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>

2010-02-24dlm: fix ordering of bast and castDavid Teigland
When both blocking and completion callbacks are queued for lock, the dlm would always deliver the completion callback (cast) first. In some cases the blocking callback (bast) is queued before the cast, though, and should be delivered first. This patch keeps track of the order in which they were queued and delivers them in that order. This patch also keeps track of the granted mode in the last cast and eliminates the following bast if the bast mode is compatible with the preceding cast mode. This happens when a remotely mastered lock is demoted, e.g. EX->NL, in which case the local node queues a cast immediately after sending the demote message. In this way a cast can be queued for a mode, e.g. NL, that makes an in-transit bast extraneous. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>
2010-02-23fs/exec.c: fix initial stack reservationMichael Neuling
803bf5ec259941936262d10ecc84511b76a20921 ("fs/exec.c: restrict initial stack space expansion to rlimit") attempts to limit the initial stack to 20*PAGE_SIZE. Unfortunately, in attempting ensure the stack is not reduced in size, we ended up not changing the stack at all. This size reduction check is not necessary as the expand_stack call does this already. This caused a regression in UML resulting in most guest processes being killed.

2010-02-20CacheFiles: Fix a race in cachefiles_delete_object() vs renameDavid Howells
cachefiles_delete_object() can race with rename. It gets the parent directory of the object it's asked to delete, then locks it - but rename may have changed the object's parent between the get and the completion of the lock. However, if such a circumstance is detected, we abandon our attempt to delete the object - since it's no longer in the index key path, it won't be seen again by lookups of that key. The assumption is that cachefilesd may have culled it by renaming it to the graveyard for later destruction.

2010-02-16sysfs: sysfs_sd_setattr set iattrs unconditionallyEric W. Biederman
There is currently a bug in sysfs_sd_setattr inherited from sysfs_setattr in 2.6.32 where the first time we set the attributes on a sysfs file we allocate backing store but do not set the backing store attributes. Resulting in overly restrictive permissions on sysfs files. The fix is to simply modify the code so that it always executes when we update the sysfs attributes, as we did in 2.6.31 and earlier.

2010-02-16NFS: Too many GETATTR and ACCESS calls after direct I/OChuck Lever
The cached read and write paths initialize fattr->time_start in their setup procedures. The value of fattr->time_start is propagated to read_cache_jiffies by nfs_update_inode(). Subsequent calls to nfs_attribute_timeout() will then use a good time stamp when computing the attribute cache timeout, and squelch unneeded GETATTR calls. Since the direct I/O paths erroneously leave the inode's fattr->time_start field set to zero, read_cache_jiffies for that inode is set to zero after any direct read or write operation. This triggers an otw GETATTR or ACCESS call to update the file's attribute and access caches properly, even when the NFS READ or WRITE replies have usable post-op attributes. Make sure the direct read and write setup code performs the same fattr initialization as the cached I/O paths to prevent unnecessary GETATTR calls. This was likely introduced by commit 0e574af1 in 2.6.15, which appears to add new nfs_fattr_init() call sites in the cached read and write paths, but not in the equivalent places in fs/nfs/direct.c. A subsequent commit in the same series, 33801147, introduces the fattr->time_start field. Interestingly, the direct write reschedule path already has a call to nfs_fattr_init() in the right place.

When we wait for an inode through reiserfs_iget(), we hold the reiserfs lock. And waiting for an inode may imply waiting for its writeback.

2010-02-11fs/exec.c: restrict initial stack space expansion to rlimitMichael Neuling
When reserving stack space for a new process, make sure we're not attempting to expand the stack by more than rlimit allows. This fixes a bug caused by b6a2fea39318e43fee84fa7b0b90d68bed92d2ba ("mm: variable length argument support") and unmasked by fc63cf237078c86214abcb2ee9926d8ad289da9b ("exec: setup_arg_pages() fails to return errors"). This bug means that when limiting the stack to less the 20*PAGE_SIZE (eg. 80K on 4K pages or 'ulimit -s 79') all processes will be killed before they start. This is particularly bad with 64K pages, where a ulimit below 1280K will kill every process. To test, do: 'ulimit -s 15; ls' before and after the patch is applied. Before it's applied, 'ls' should be killed. After the patch is applied, 'ls' should no longer be killed. A stack limit of 15KB since it's small enough to trigger 20*PAGE_SIZE. Also 15KB not a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, which is a trickier case to handle correctly with this code. 4K pages should be fine to test with.

2010-02-10compat_ioctl: ignore RAID_VERSION ioctlArnd Bergmann
md ioctls are now handled by the md driver itself, but mdadm may call RAID_VERSION on other devices as well. Mark the command as IGNORE_IOCTL so this fails silently rather than printing an annoying message. Reported-by: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <m.s.tsirkin@gmail.com> Cc: "Rafael J.

2010-02-09NFS: Fix the mapping of the NFSERR_SERVERFAULT errorTrond Myklebust
It was recently pointed out that the NFSERR_SERVERFAULT error, which is designed to inform the user of a serious internal error on the server, was being mapped to an error value that is internal to the kernel. This patch maps it to the error EREMOTEIO, which is exported to userland through errno.h. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org
