Fsync currently has a fdatawrite/fdatawait pair around the method call, and a mutex_lock/unlock of the inode mutex. All callers of fsync have to duplicate this, but we have a few and most of them don't quite get it right. This patch adds a new vfs_fsync that takes care of this. It's a little more complicated as usual as ->fsync might get a NULL file pointer and just a dentry from nfsd, but otherwise gets afile and we want to take the mapping and file operations from it when it is there. Notes on the fsync callers: - ecryptfs wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the lower file - coda wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the host file, and returning 0 when ->fsync was missing - shm wasn't calling either filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait nor taking i_mutex. Now given that shared memory doesn't have disk backing not doing anything in fsync seems fine and I left it out of the vfs_fsync conversion for now, but in that case we might just not pass it through to the lower file at all but just call the no-op simple_sync_file directly. [and now actually export vfs_fsync] Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

We used to have rather schizophrenic set of checks for NULL ->i_op even though it had been eliminated years ago. You'd need to go out of your way to set it to NULL explicitly _and_ a bunch of code would die on such inodes anyway. After killing two remaining places that still did that bogosity, all that crap can go away. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

This patch fixes a race condition in lseek. While it is expected that unpredictable behaviour may result while repositioning the offset of a file descriptor concurrently with reading/writing to the same file descriptor, this should not happen when merely *reading* the file descriptor's offset. Unfortunately, the only portable way in Unix to read a file descriptor's offset is lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR); however executing this concurrently with read/write may mess up the position.

Before, when we only ever printed out the pointer value itself, a NULL pointer would never cause issues and might as well be printed out as just its numeric value. However, with the extended %p formats, especially %pR, we might validly want to print out resources for debugging. And sometimes they don't even exist, and the resource pointer is just NULL. Print it out as such, rather than oopsing. This is a more generic version of a patch done by Trent Piepho (catching all %p cases rather than just %pR, and using "(null)" instead of "[NULL]" to match glibc).

In the only place where we actually tried to handle arm and i386/m68k in different ways (START_DATA() in coredump handling), the arm variant works for all of them (i386 and m68k have u.start_code set to 0).

Impact: Reduce memory usage, use new API. This is part of an effort to reduce structure sizes for machines configured with large NR_CPUS. cpumask_t gets replaced by cpumask_var_t, which is either struct cpumask[1] (small NR_CPUS) or struct cpumask * (large NR_CPUS).

Impact: Reduce future system panics due to cpumask operations using NR_CPUS Insure that code does not look at bits >= nr_cpu_ids as when cpumasks are allocated based on nr_cpu_ids, these extra bits will not be defined. Also some other minor updates: * change in to use cpu accessor function set_cpu_present() instead of directly accessing cpu_present_map w/cpu_clear() [arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c] * use cpumask_of() instead of &cpumask_of_cpu() [arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c] * optimize some cpu_mask_to_apicid_and functions.

Mike Travis authored
Impact: prevents panic from stack overflow on numa-capable machines. Some of the "removal of stack hogs" changes in kernel/sched.c by using node_to_cpumask_ptr were undone by the early cpumask API updates, and causes a panic due to stack overflow. This patch undoes those changes by using cpumask_of_node() which returns a 'const struct cpumask *'. In addition, cpu_coregoup_map is replaced with cpu_coregroup_mask further reducing stack usage. (Both of these updates removed 9 FIXME's!) Also: Pick up some remaining changes from the old 'cpumask_t' functions to the new 'struct cpumask *' functions. Optimize memory traffic by allocating each percpu local_cpu_mask on the same node as the referring cpu.
