2007-02-11[PATCH] relax check for AIX in msdos partition tableOlaf Hering
The patch to identify AIX disks and ignore them has caused at least one machine to fail to find the root partition on 2.6.19. The patch is: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/31/117 The problem is some disk formatters do not blow away the first 4 bytes of the disk. If the disk we are installing to used to have AIX on it, then the first 4 bytes will still have IBMA in EBCDIC. The install in question was debian etch. Im not sure what the best fix is, perhaps the AIX detection code could check more than the first 4 bytes. The whole partition info for primary partitions is in this block: dd if=/dev/sdb count=$(( 4 * 16 )) bs=1 skip=$(( 0x1be )) All other data do not matter, beside the 0x55aa marker at the end of the first block.

2007-02-11[PATCH] ext2: skip pages past number of blocks in ext2_find_entryEric Sandeen
This one was pointed out on the MOKB site: http://kernelfun.blogspot.com/2006/11/mokb-09-11-2006-linux-26x-ext2checkpage.html If a directory's i_size is corrupted, ext2_find_entry() will keep processing pages until the i_size is reached, even if there are no more blocks associated with the directory inode. This patch puts in some minimal sanity-checking so that we don't keep checking pages (and issuing errors) if we know there can be no more data to read, based on the block count of the directory inode. This is somewhat similar in approach to the ext3 patch I sent earlier this year.

2007-02-11[PATCH] igrab() should check for I_CLEARJan Blunck
When igrab() is calling __iget() on an inode it should check if clear_inode() has been called on the inode already. Otherwise there is a race window between clear_inode() and destroy_inode() where igrab() calls __iget() which leads to already free inodes on the inode lists.

2007-02-10[PARTITION]: Add whole_disk attribute.Fabio Massimo Di Nitto
Some partitioning systems create special partitions that span the entire disk. One example are Sun partitions, and this whole-disk partition exists to tell the firmware the extent of the entire device so it can load the boot block and do other things. Such partitions should not be treated as normal partitions, because all the other partitions overlap this whole-disk one. So we'd see multiple instances of the same UUID etc. which we do not want. udev and friends can thus search for this 'whole_disk' attribute and use it to decide to ignore the partition.

2007-02-10[XFS] Ensure a frozen filesystem has a clean log before writing the dummyDavid Chinner
record. The current Linux XFS freeze code is a mess. We flush the metadata buffers out while we are still allowing new transactions to start and then fail to flush the dirty buffers back out before writing the unmount and dummy records to the log. This leads to problems when the frozen filesystem is used for snapshots - we do log recovery on a readonly image and often it appears that the log image in the snapshot is not correct. Hence we end up with hangs, oops and mount failures when trying to mount a snapshot image that has been created when the filesystem has not been correctly frozen. To fix this, we need to move th metadata flush to after we wait for all current transactions to complete in teh second stage of the freeze. This means that when we write the final log records, the log should be clean and recovery should never occur on a snapshot image created from a frozen filesystem.

2007-02-10[XFS] Reduction global superblock lock contention near ENOSPC.David Chinner
The existing per-cpu superblock counter code uses the global superblock spin lock when we approach ENOSPC for global synchronisation. On larger machines than this code was originally tested on this can still get catastrophic spinlock contention due increasing rebalance frequency near ENOSPC. By introducing a sleeping lock that is used to serialise balances and modifications near ENOSPC we prevent contention from needlessly from wasting the CPU time of potentially hundreds of CPUs. To reduce the number of balances occuring, we separate the need rebalance case from the slow allocate case. Now, a counter running dry will trigger a rebalance during which counters are disabled. Any thread that sees a disabled counter enters a different path where it waits on the new mutex. When it gets the new mutex, it checks if the counter is disabled. If the counter is disabled, then we _know_ that we have to use the global counter and lock and it is safe to do so immediately. Otherwise, we drop the mutex and go back to trying the per-cpu counters which we know were re-enabled.

2007-02-10[XFS] Fix a synchronous buftarg flush deadlock when freezing.David Chinner
At the last stage of a freeze, we flush the buftarg synchronously over and over again until it succeeds twice without skipping any buffers. The delwri list flush skips pinned buffers, but tries to flush all others. It removes the buffers from the delwri list, then tries to lock them one at a time as it traverses the list to issue the I/O. It holds them locked until we issue all of the I/O and then unlocks them once we've waited for it to complete. The problem is that during a freeze, the filesystem may still be doing stuff - like flushing delalloc data buffers - in the background and hence we can be trying to lock buffers that were on the delwri list at the same time. Hence we can get ABBA deadlocks between threads doing allocation and the buftarg flush (freeze) thread. Fix it by skipping locked (and pinned) buffers as we traverse the delwri buffer list.

2007-02-09[PATCH] uclinux: correctly remap bin_fmtflat exe allocated mem regionsGreg Ungerer
remap() the region we get from mmap() to mark the fact that we are using all of the available slack space. Any slack space is used to form a simple brk region, and potentially more stack space than requested at load time. Any searches of the vma chain may well fail looking for stack (and especially arg) addresses if the remaping is not done. The simplest example is /proc/<pid>/cmdline, since the args are pretty much always at the top of the data/bss/stack region.

2007-02-09[PATCH] hugetlb: preserve hugetlb pte dirty stateKen Chen
__unmap_hugepage_range() is buggy that it does not preserve dirty state of huge_pte when unmapping hugepage range. It causes data corruption in the event of dop_caches being used by sys admin. For example, an application creates a hugetlb file, modify pages, then unmap it. While leaving the hugetlb file alive, comes along sys admin doing a "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches". drop_pagecache_sb() will happily free all pages that aren't marked dirty if there are no active mapping. Later when application remaps the hugetlb file back and all data are gone, triggering catastrophic flip over on application. Not only that, the internal resv_huge_pages count will also get all messed up. Fix it up by marking page dirty appropriately.

2007-02-09[PATCH] ufs: restore back support of openstepEvgeniy Dushistov
This is a fix of regression, which triggered by ~2.6.16. Patch with name ufs-directory-and-page-cache-from-blocks-to-pages.patch: in additional to conversation from block to page cache mechanism added new checks of directory integrity, one of them that directory entry do not across directory chunks. But some kinds of UFS: OpenStep UFS and Apple UFS (looks like these are the same filesystems) have different directory chunk size, then common UFSes(BSD and Solaris UFS). So this patch adds ability to works with variable size of directory chunks, and set it for ufstype=openstep to right size. Tested on darwin ufs.
