Dio write returns EIO when try_to_release_page fails because bh is still referenced. The patch commit 3f31fddf Author: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Date: Fri Jul 25 01:46:22 2008 -0700 jbd: fix race between free buffer and commit transaction was merged into 2.6.27-rc1, but I noticed that this patch is not enough to fix the race. I did fsstress test heavily to 2.6.27-rc1, and found that dio write still sometimes got EIO through this test. The patch above fixed race between freeing buffer(dio) and committing transaction(jbd) but I discovered that there is another race, freeing buffer(dio) and ext3/4_ordered_writepage. : background_writeout() ->write_cache_pages() ->ext3_ordered_writepage() walk_page_buffers() -> take a bh ref block_write_full_page() -> unlock_page : <- end_page_writeback : <- race! (dio write->try_to_release_page fails) walk_page_buffers() ->release a bh ref ext3_ordered_writepage holds bh ref and does unlock_page remaining taking a bh ref, so this causes the race and failure of try_to_release_page. To fix this race, I used the approach of falling back to buffered writes if try_to_release_page() fails on a page.

I have gotten to the root cause of the hugetlb badness I reported back on August 15th. My system has the following memory topology (note the overlapping node): Node 0 Memory: 0x8000000-0x44000000 Node 1 Memory: 0x0-0x8000000 0x44000000-0x80000000 setup_zone_migrate_reserve() scans the address range 0x0-0x8000000 looking for a pageblock to move onto the MIGRATE_RESERVE list. Finding no candidates, it happily continues the scan into 0x8000000-0x44000000. When a pageblock is found, the pages are moved to the MIGRATE_RESERVE list on the wrong zone. Oops. setup_zone_migrate_reserve() should skip pageblocks in overlapping nodes.

Breaking lines due to some imaginary problem with a long line length is often stupid and wrong, but never more so when it splits a string that is printed out into multiple lines. This really ended up making it much harder to find where some error strings were printed out, because a simple 'grep' didn't work. I'm sure there is tons more of this particular idiocy hiding in other places, but this particular case hit me once more last week. So fix it.

The MEMGETREGIONINFO ioctl() in mtdchar.c was clobbering user memory by overwriting more than intended, due the size of struct mtd_erase_region_info changing in commit 0ecbc81a ('Support for auto locking flash on power up'). Fix avoids this by copying struct members one by one with put_user(), as there is no longer a convenient struct to use the size of as the length argument to copy_to_user().

David Wagner added (among other things) that copy_to_user could be probably used here. Ingo Oeser suggested to use simple_read_from_buffer() here. The conclusion is that proc_do_xprt doesn't check for userside buffer size indeed so fix this by using Ingo's suggestion.

/proc/partitions didn't use to write out the header if there was no partition. However, recent commit 66c64afe changed the behavior. This is nothing major but there's no reason to change user visible behavior without a good rationale. Restore the original behavior. Note that 2.6.28 has clean up changes scheduled which will replace this rather hacky implementation.
