The /dev/mem and /dev/kmem write handlers weren't fully POSIX compliant in that they wouldn't always force the file pointer to be updated when returning success status. The /dev/port write handler was inconsistent with the /dev/mem and /dev/kmem handlers in that when encountering a -EFAULT condition after already having written a number of items it would return -EFAULT rather than the number of bytes written.

There were a number of conflicting naming schemes used in the v9fs project. The directory was fs/9p, but MAINTAINERS and Documentation referred to v9fs. The module name itself was 9p2000, and the file system type was 9P. This patch attempts to clean that up, changing all references to 9p in order to match the directory name. We'll also start using 9p instead of v9fs as our patch prefix. There is also a minor consistency cleanup in the options changing the name option to uname in order to more closely match the Plan 9 options. Signed-off-by:

Remove the assumption that driver_register() returns the number of devices bound to the driver. In fact, it returns zero for success or a negative error value. zorro_module_init() used the device count to automatically unregister and unload drivers that found no devices. That might have worked at one time, but has been broken for some time because zorro_register_driver() returned either a negative error or a positive count (never zero). So it could only unregister on failure, when it's not needed anyway. This functionality could be resurrected in individual drivers by counting devices in their .probe() methods. Signed-off-by:

We presently ignore the return values from initcalls. But that can carry useful debugging information. So print it out if it's non-zero. It turns out the -ENODEV happens quite a lot, due to built-in drivers which have no hardware to drive. So suppress that unless initcall_debug was specified. Also make the warning message more friendly by printing the name of the initcall function. Also drop the KERN_DEBUG from the initcall_debug message. If we specified inticall_debug then we obviously want to see the messages. Acked-by:

In latest -mm a number of section mismatch warnings are generated for floppy.o like the following: WARNING: drivers/block/floppy.o - Section mismatch: reference to \ .init.data: from .text between 'init_module' (at offset 0x6976) and \ 'cleanup_module' The warning are caused by a reference to floppy_init() which is __init from init_module() which is not declared __init. Declaring init_module() _init fixes this. Signed-off-by:

Previous inotify work avoidance is good when inotify is completely unused, but it breaks down if even a single watch is in place anywhere in the system. Robin Holt notices that udev is one such culprit - it slows down a 512-thread application on a 512 CPU system from 6 seconds to 22 minutes. Solve this by adding a flag in the dentry that tells inotify whether or not its parent inode has a watch on it. Event queueing to parent will skip taking locks if this flag is cleared. Setting and clearing of this flag on all child dentries versus event delivery: this is no in terms of race cases, and that was shown to be equivalent to always performing the check. The essential behaviour is that activity occuring _after_ a watch has been added and _before_ it has been removed, will generate events. Signed-off-by:

hysdn defines its own types: ulong, uint, uchar and word. Problem is, the module_param macros rely upon some of those identifiers having special meanings too. The net effect is that module_param() and friends cannot be used in ISDN because of this namespace clash. So remove the hysdn-private defines and open-code them all.

I think it would be nice to put an usage warning in header of lookup_instantiate_filp() to indicate it is unsafe to use it on anything but regular files (even that is potentially unsafe, but there your ->open() is usually in your hands anyway), so that others won't fall into the same trap I did.

Introduce FMODE_EXEC file flag, to indicate that file is being opened for execution. This is useful for distributed filesystems to maintain consistent behavior for returning ETXTBUSY when opening for write and execution happens on different nodes. akpm: Needed by Lustre at present. I assume their objective to to work towards being able to install Lustre on an unmodified distro kernel, which seems sane. It should have zero runtime cost. Trond and Chuck indicate that NFS4 can probably use this too, for the same thing. Steven says it's also on the GFS todo list. Signed-off-by:

When an error occurs in reiserfs_file_write before any data is written, and O_SYNC is set, the return code of generic_osync_write will overwrite the error code, losing it. This patch ensures that generic_osync_inode() doesn't run under an error condition, losing the error. This duplicates the logic from generic_file_buffered_write(). Signed-off-by:

It seems there is error check missing in open_namei for errors returned through intent.open.file (from lookup_instantiate_filp). If there is plain open performed, then such a check done inside __path_lookup_intent_open called from path_lookup_open(), but when the open is performed with O_CREAT flag set, then __path_lookup_intent_open is only called with LOOKUP_PARENT set where no file opening can occur yet. Later on lookup_hash is called where exact opening might take place and intent.open.file may be filled. If it is filled with error value of some sort, then we get kernel attempting to dereference this error value as address (and corresponding oops) in nameidata_to_filp() called from filp_open(). While this is relatively simple to workaround in ->lookup() method by just checking lookup_instantiate_filp() return value and returning error as needed, this is not so easy in ->d_revalidate(), where we can only return "yes, dentry is valid" or "no, dentry is invalid, perform full lookup again", and just returning 0 on error would cause extra lookup (with potential extra costly RPCs). So in short, I believe that there should be no difference in error handling for opening a file and creating a file in open_namei() and propose this simple patch as a solution. Signed-off-by:
