Last but not least, move the general prio_tree code from mm/ to lib/. This patch also duplicates some macros, which are used in the VMA code for debugging purposes, so we can't properly separate them yet. Note that this patch conflicts with a patch in 2.6.10-rc3-mm1 (frv-better-mmap-support-in-uclinux.patch), which removes mm/prio_tree in systems without an MMU. Not making that other patch provide a dummy for prio_tree_init should resolve the conflict. (That's just from reading the patch - I haven't actually tried this.) Signed-off-by:

Export prio_tree functions such that they can be used by other subsystems than only VMAs. Also adds a mode to prio_tree to use it with keys explicitly included in the prio_tree meta-data. The plan is to also consider converting VMAs to use explicit keys, so that the old "raw" mode can be removed. Signed-off-by:

UDF discards file preallocations on every ->put_inode which is totally bogus. It already discards them in ->release which makes sense for normal writes, so the only additional discard is in ->clear_inode so we make sure we don't leak any reservations for shared writeable mappings. This follows similar changes to ext2 and ext3. Signed-off-by:

When a block device is accessed via read/write, it is possible for some of the buffers on a page to be mapped and others not. __getblk and friends assume this can't happen, and can end up looping forever when pages have some unmapped buffers. Picture: lseek(/dev/xxx, 2048, SEEK_SET) write(/dev/xxx, 2048 bytes) Assuming the block size is 1k, page 0 has 4 buffers, two are mapped by __block_prepare_write and two are not. Next, another process triggers getblk(/dev/xxx, blocknr = 0); __getblk_slow will loop forever. __find_get_block fails because the buffer isn't mapped. grow_dev_page does nothing because there are buffers on the page with the correct size. madhav@veritas.com and others at Veritas tracked this down. The fix below has two parts. First, it changes __find_get_block to avoid the buffer_error warnings when it finds unmapped buffers on the page. Second, it changes grow_dev_page to map the buffers on the page by calling init_page_buffers. init_page_buffers is changed so we don't stomp on uptodate bits for the buffers. Signed-off-by:

This is an ia64 portion of IRQ resource deallocation. It implements pcibios_disable_device() and acpi_unregister_gsi() for ia64. o acpi_unregister_gsi() Summary of changes for implementing this interface: - Add new function iosapic_unregister_intr() into arch/ia64/kernel/iosapic.c. This function frees an interrupt vector and related data structures. - Add new function free_irq_vector() into arch/ia64/kernel/irq_ia64.c. This frees an unused vector. - Change assign_irq_vector() to be able to support free_irq_vector(). o pcibios_disable_device() This calls acpi_pci_irq_disable() to deallocate IRQ resources.

Architecture dependent IRQ resources such as interrupt vector for PCI devices are allocated at pci_enable_device() time on i386, x86-64 and ia64 platform. Today, however, these IRQ resources are never deallocated even if they are no longer used. The following set of patches adds supports to deallocate IRQ resources at pci_disable_device() time. The motivation of the set of patches is as follows: - IRQ resources such as interrupt vectors should be freed if they are no longer used because the amount of these resources are limited. By deallocating IRQ resources, we can recycle them. - I think some hardwares will support hot-pluggable I/O units with I/O xAPICs in the near future. So I/O xAPIC hot-plug support by OS will be needed soon. IRQ resouces deallocation will be one of the most important stuff for I/O xAPIC hot-plug. For now, the following set of patches has ia64 implementation only. i386 and x86_64 implementations are TBD. This patch is ACPI portion of IRQ deallocation. This patch defines the following new interface. The implementation of this interface depends on each platform. o void acpi_unregister_gsi(u32 gsi) This is a opposite portion of acpi_register_gsi(). This has a responsibility for deallocating IRQ resources associated with the specified GSI number. We need to consider the case of shared interrupt. In the case of shared interrupt, acpi_register_gsi() is called multiple times for one gsi. That is, registrations and unregistrations can be nested. This function undoes the effect of one call to acpi_register_gsi(). If this matches the last registration, IRQ resources associated with the specified GSI number are freed. This patch also adds the following new function. o void acpi_pci_irq_disable (struct pci_dev *dev) This function is a opposite portion of acpi_pci_enable_irq(). It clears the device's linux IRQ number and calls acpi_unregister_gsi() to deallocate IRQ resources. Signed-off-by: -

My patch that removed the spin_lock calls from the tail of sys_semtimedop introduced a bug: Before my patch was merged, every operation that altered an array called update_queue. That call woke up threads that were waiting until a semaphore value becomes 0. I've accidentially removed that call. The attached patch fixes that by modifying update_queue: the function now loops internally and wakes up all threads. The patch also removes update_queue calls from the error path of sys_semtimedop: failed operations do not modify the array, no need to rescan the list of waiting threads. Signed-Off-By:

__handle_sysrq was modified to do a spin_lock_irqsave so we were entering smp_send_stop with interrupts. So reenable interrupts to prevent the possible smp_call_function() deadlock. (It's still deadlocky if the sysrq handler is against called via an interrupt from a different device, but that seems unlikely). Signed-off-by:

I need this to make gconfig work under gtk-2.4. Without this, it just coredumps. There is some problem with pixmap creation/usage from XPM in the way it is done in gconf, so I just added some stock icons. It is even prettier..;) Could someone test this still works on gtk-2.0 or 2.2 ? Changes: - change the wiget class 'button' in glade files to something known to glade (GtkToolButton) - use 'stock-id' property for toolbar buttons instead of "stock_pixmap" - change unknown signal "pressed" to "clicked" - remove manual setting of icons in gconf.c Signed-off-by:

rcu_ctrlblk.lock is used to read the ->cur and ->next_pending atomically in __rcu_process_callbacks(). It can be replaced by a couple of memory barriers. rcu_start_batch: rcp->next_pending = 0; smp_wmb(); rcp->cur++; __rcu_process_callbacks: rdp->batch = rcp->cur + 1; smp_rmb(); if (!rcp->next_pending) rcu_start_batch(rcp, rsp, 1); This way, if __rcu_process_callbacks() sees incremented ->cur value, it must also see that ->next_pending == 0 (or rcu_start_batch() is already in progress on another cpu).

This patch corrects a problem that was originally added with the nanosecond timestamps in stat patch. The problem is that some file systems don't have enough space in their on disk inode to save nanosecond timestamps, so they truncate the c/a/mtime to seconds when flushing an dirty node. In core the inode would have full jiffies granuality. This can be observed by programs as a timestamp that jumps backwards under specific loads when an inode is flushed and then reloaded from disk. The problem was already known when the original patch went in, but it wasn't deemed important enough at that time. So far there has been only one report of it causing problems. Now Tridge is worried that it will break running Excel over samba4 because Excel seems to do very anal timestamp checking and samba4 will supply 100ns timestamps over the network. This patch solves it by putting the time resolution into the superblock of a fs and always rounding the in core timestamps to that granuality. This also supercedes some previous ext2/3 hacks to flush the inode less often when only the subsecond timestamp changes. I tried to keep the overhead low, in particular it tries to keep divisions out of fast paths as far as possible. The patch is quite big but 99% of it is just relatively straight forward search'n'replace in a lot of fs. Unconverted filesystems will default to a 1ns granuality, but may still show the problem if they continue to use CURRENT_TIME. I converted all in tree fs. One possible future extension of this would be to have two time granualities per superblock - one that specifies the visible resolution, and the other to specify how often timestamps should be flushed to disk, which could be tuned with a mount option per fs (e.g. often m/atimes don't need to be flushed every second). Would be easy to do as an addon if someone is interested. Signed-off-by:

I realized that the best way to get the sys_time/sys_stime problem fixed is to make sys_time 64 bit safe by using "time_t *" instead of "int *" and to introduce two proper compat functions compat_sys_time and compat_sys_stime. The prototype change of sys_time is transparent for 32 bit architectures because both "int" and "time_t" are 32 bit. For 64 bit the type change would be wrong but luckily no 64 bit architecture uses sys_time/sys_stime in 64 bit mode. The patch makes the following change: ia64 : Remove sys32_time, use compat_sys_time and add (!!) compat_sys_stime to compat syscall table. mips : Use compat_sys_time/compat_sys_stime in 32 bit syscall table. Add #ifdef magic to compile sys_time/sys_stime and compat_sys_time/compat_sys_stime only if needed. parisc : Remove sys32_time, use compat_sys_time and compat_sys_stime. ppc64 : remove sys32_time, ppc64_sys32_stime and ppc64_sys_stime. Use common compat_sys_time, compat_sys_stime and sys_stime. s390 : Use compat_sys_stime. Add #ifdef magic to compile sys_time/sys_stime and compat_sys_time/compat_sys_stime only if needed. sparc64 : Use compat_sys_time/compat_Sys_stime in 32 bit syscall table. um : Remove um_time and um_stime. Use common functions sys_time and sys_stime. This adds a CAP_SYS_TIME check to UMs stime call. x86_64 : Remove sys32_time. Use compat_sys_time and compat_sys_stime in 32 bit syscall table. The original stime bug is fixed for mips, parisc, s390, sparc64 and x86_64. Can the arch-maintainers please take a look at this?

For the kernel, it would be logical to use -ffreestanding. The kernel is not a hosted environment with a standard C library. The gcc option -ffreestanding is supported by both gcc 2.95 and 3.4, which covers the whole range of currently supported compilers. Regarding changes caused by this patch: Andi Kleen reported: Newer gcc rewrites sprintf(buf,"%s",str) to strcpy(buf,str) transparently. This is only true with unit-at-a-time (disabled on i386 but enabled on x86_64). The Linux kernel doesn't offer a standard C library, and such transparent replacements of kernel functions with builtins are quite fragile. Even with -ffreestanding, it's still possilble to explicitely use a gcc builtin if desired. Signed-off-by:

1) intent of the patch is to get possibility to store EAs in the body of large inode. it saves space and improves performance in some cases 2) the patch is quite simple: it works the same way original xattr does, but using other storage (inode body). body has priority over separate block. original routines (ext3_xattr_get, ext3_xattr_list, ext3_xattr_set) are renamed to ext3_xattr_block_*. new routines that handle inode storate are added (ext3_xattr_ibody_get, ext3_xattr_ibody_list, ext3_xattr_ibody_set). routines ext3_xattr_get, ext3_xattr_list and ext3_xattr_set allow user to accesss both the storages transparently 3) the change makes sense on filesystem with inode size >= 256 bytes only. 2.4 kernels don't support such a filesystems, AFAIK. 2.6 kernels do support and ignore EAs stored in a body w/o the patch 4) debugfs and e2fsck need to be patched to deal with EAs in inode the patch will be sent later 5) testing results: a) Andrew Samba Master (tridge) has done successful tests b) we've been using ea-in-inode feature in Lustre for many months Signed-off-by:

We hold i_sem during the various sync() operations to prevent livelocks: if another thread is dirtying the file, a sync() may never return. Or at least, that used to be true when we were using the per-address_space page lists. Since writeback has used radix tree traversal it is not possible to livelock the sync() operations, because they only visit each page a single time. sync_page_range() (used by O_SYNC writes) has not been holding i_sem for quite some time, for the above reasons. The patch converts fsync(), fdatasync() and msync() to also not hold i_sem during the radix-tree-based writeback. Now, we _do_ still need to hold i_sem across the file->f_op->fsync() call, because that is still based on a list_head walk, and is still livelockable. But in the case of msync() I deliberately left i_sem untaken. This is because we're currently deadlockable in msync, because mmap_sem is already held, and mmap_sem nexts inside i_sem, due to direct-io.c. And yes, the ranking of down_read() veruss down() does matter: Task A Task B Task C down_read(rwsem) down(sem) down_write(rwsem) down(sem) down_read(rwsem) C's down_write() will cause B's down_read to block. B holds `sem', so A will never release `rwsem'. So the patch fixes a hard-to-hit triple-task deadlock, but adds a possible livelock in msync(). It is possible to fix sys_msync() so that it takes i_sem outside i_mmap_sem. Later. Signed-off-by:
