mntget(path->mnt) in do_follow_link() moved down to right before the __do_follow_link() call and rigth after loop: resp. dput()+mntput() on non-ELOOP branch moved up to right after __do_follow_link() call. resulting loop: mntget(path->mnt); path_release(nd); dput(path->mnt); mntput(path->mnt); replaced with equivalent dput(path->mnt); path_release(nd); Equivalent transformations - the reason why we have that mntget() is that __do_follow_link() can drop a reference to nd->mnt and that's what holds path->mnt. So that call can happen at any point prior to __do_follow_link() touching nd->mnt. The rest is obvious. NOTE: current tree relies on symlinks *never* being mounted on anything. It's not hard to get rid of that assumption (actually, that will come for free later in the series). For now we are just not making the situation worse than it is. Signed-off-by:

fix for too early mntput() in open_namei() - we pin path.mnt down for the duration of __do_follow_link(). Otherwise we could get the fs where our symlink lived unmounted while we were in __do_follow_link(). That would end up with dentry of symlink staying pinned down through the fs shutdown.

path.mnt in open_namei() set to mirror nd->mnt. nd->mnt is set in 3 places in that function - path_lookup() in the beginning, __follow_down() loop after do_last: and __do_follow_link() call after do_link:. We set path.mnt to nd->mnt after path_lookup() and __do_follow_link(). In __follow_down() loop we use &path.mnt instead of &nd->mnt and set nd->mnt to path.mnt immediately after that loop. Obviously equivalent transformation. Signed-off-by:

All callers of do_follow_link() do mntget() right before it and dput()+mntput() right after. These calls are moved inside do_follow_link() now. Obviously equivalent transformation. Signed-off-by:

OK, here comes a patch series that hopefully should close all too-early-mntput() races in fs/namei.c. Entire area is convoluted as hell, so I'm splitting that series into _very_ small chunks. Patches alread in the tree close only (very wide) races in following symlinks (see "busy inodes after umount" thread some time ago). Unfortunately, quite a few narrower races of the same nature were not closed. Hopefully this should take care of all of them. Signed-off-by:

Runtime feature support for unified caches was testing a userland feature flag (PPC_FEATURE_UNIFIED_CACHE) instead of a cpu feature flag (CPU_FTR_SPLIT_ID_CACHE). Luckily the current defined bit mask for cpu features and userland features do not overlap so this only causes an issue on machines with a unified cache, which is extremely rare on PPC today.

The system might hang when using appldata_mem with high I/O traffic and a large number of devices. The spinlocks bdev_lock and swaplock are acquired via calls to si_meminfo() and si_swapinfo() from a tasklet, i.e. interrupt context, which can lead to a deadlock. Replace tasklet with work queue.

The condition for no context in do_exception checks for hard and soft interrupts by using in_interrupt() but not for preemption. This is bad for the users of __copy_from/to_user_inatomic because the fault handler might call schedule although the preemption count is != 0. Use in_atomic() instead in_interrupt(). Signed-off-by:

To make UML build and run on s390, I needed to do these two little changes: 1) UML includes some of the subarch's (s390) headers. I had to change one of them with the following one-liner, to make this compile. AFAICS, this change doesn't break compilation of s390 itself. 2) UML needs to intercept syscalls via ptrace to invalidate the syscall, read syscall's parameters and write the result with the result of UML's syscall processing. Also, UML needs to make sure, that the host does no syscall restart processing. On i386 for example, this can be done by writing -1 to orig_eax on the 2nd syscall interception (orig_eax is the syscall number, which after the interception is used as a "interrupt was a syscall" flag only. Unfortunately, s390 holds syscall number and syscall result in gpr2 and its "interrupt was a syscall" flag (trap) is unreachable via ptrace. So I changed the host to set trap to -1, if the syscall number is changed to an invalid value on the first syscall interception. Signed-off-by:

The special cases of peek and poke on acrs[15] and the fpc register are not handled correctly. A poke on acrs[15] will clobber the 4 bytes after the access registers in the thread_info structure. That happens to be the kernel stack pointer. A poke on the fpc with an invalid value is not caught by the validity check. On the next context switch the broken fpc value will cause a program check in the kernel. Improving the checks in peek and poke fixes this. Signed-off-by:

When fsync() runs wait_on_page_writeback_range() it only inspects pages which are actually under I/O (PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK). If a page completed I/O prior to wait_on_page_writeback_range() looking at it, it is supposed to have recorded its I/O error state in the address_space. But mpage_mpage_end_io_write() forgot to set the address_space error flag in this case. Signed-off-by:

Re-work the m68knommu specific idle code according to suggestions from Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au>. A couple of rules that we need to follow: 1. Preempt should now disabled over idle routines. Should only be enabled to call schedule() then disabled again. 3. When cpu_idle finds (need_resched() == 'true'), it should call schedule(). It should not call schedule() otherwise. Also fix interrupt locking around the need_resched() and cpu stop state so that there is no race condition. Signed-off-by:

With CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y I see slab corruption messages during boot on pSeries machines with IPR adapters with any 2.6.12-rc kernel.

Great! FWIW I've briefly tested a modified version of usbatm using the list head in struct urb instead of creating a wrapper struct, and I haven't seen any failures yet.

This patch adds a new driver for "Option" cards. This is a GSM data card, controlled by three "serial ports" which are connected via an OHCI adapter, all located on an oversized PC-Card. It's sold by several GSM service providers. Traditionally, this card has been accessed via the standard serial driver and appropriate vendor= and product= options. However, testing has revealed several problems with this approach, including hung data transfers and lost data blocks when receiving. Therefore, I've written a separate driver. Signed-off-by:
