From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Oleg's patch was good in that exit_mmap usually does the un-accounting; but dup_mmap still needs its own un-accounting for the case when it has charged for a vma, but error before it's inserted into child mm's list.

From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Both modprobe_path and hotplug_path are arbitrarily sized at 256 bytes and that size is also expressed directly in the sysctl code. It seems reasonable to define a standard length and use that for consitancy. This patch introduces the constant KMOD_PATH_LEN and uses that.

From: Anton Altaparmakov <aia21@cam.ac.uk> A filesystem's ->writepage() implementation nowadays must run either redirty_page_for_writepage() or the combination of set_page_writeback()/ end_page_writeback(). Failure to do so leaves the page itself marked clean but it is tagged as dirty in the radix tree (PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY). This incoherency can lead to all sorts of hard-to-debug problems in the filesystem like having dirty inodes at umount and losing written data. The patch updates Documentation/filesystems/Locking to reflect this requirement.

struct page_state is large (148 bytes) and we put them on the stack in awkward code paths (page reclaim...) So implement a simple read_page_state() which can be used to pluck out a single member from the all-cpus page_state accumulators.

Page reclaim bales out very early if reclaim isn't working out for !__GFP_FS allocation attempts. It was a fairly arbitrary thing in the first place and chances are the caller will simply retry the allocation or will do something which is disruptive to userspace. So remove that code and do much more scanning. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Andrew Morton authored
Teach page reclaim to understand synchronous ->writepage implementations. If ->writepage completed I/O prior to returning we can proceed to reclaim the page without giving it another trip around the LRU. This is beneficial for ramdisk-backed S_ISREG files: we can reclaim the file's pages as fast as the ramdisk driver needs to allocate them and this prevents I/O errors due to OOM in rd_blkdev_pagecache_IO().

From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Fix more bad issues in the x86-64 machine check handler. - Actually test status after reading it from the register, not before. - Check the UC bit instead of the PCC bit to detect the bank which caused the exception. - Add tolerant==3 level for easier testing. This will avoid any panics. - Don't threat bank overflows as fatal - they must have come from a non fatal exception, which should not cause a panic.

sparse tokenizes everything. Including #include directives. Which means that it doesn't want to see "//" in a include filename, since that's a comment outside of a string. And inside of a string it's too dark to read.

We need to clear all exceptions before synchronizing with the FPU, since we aren't ready to handle a FP exception here and we're getting rid of all FP state. Special thanks to Alexander Nyberg for reports and testing. Alternate patches by Sergey Vlasov and Andi Kleen, who both worked on this. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

- Modify fs/ntfs/ntfs_readdir() to copy the index root attribute value to a buffer so that we can put the search context and unmap the mft record before calling the filldir() callback. We need to do this because of NFSd which calls ->lookup() from its filldir callback() and this causes NTFS to deadlock as ntfs_lookup() maps the mft record of the directory and since ntfs_readdir() has got it mapped already ntfs_lookup() deadlocks.

and/or d->send_sizes. When these functions are called from gamma_dma, these pointers are user pointers and are thus not safe to deref.

This bug took forever to debug (just ask Ben :-). When we move the completion event from the failed request to the sense request, we risk either the initial complete and then later complete on a long gone ->waiting. I think this business of moving the completion structure to the request sense is a bit bogus and always has been, and the bug is fixed nicely by just rewriting this logic a bit. So instead we simply unconditionally dequeue the failed request (regardless of whether it was REQ_PC or REQ_BLOCK_PC), and pass a reference to it in the sense request. When the sense completes, we call end io on the originally failed request (which does the complete() etc). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
