First batch of various kdev_t related changes that have accumulated on linux-kernel, and some that got sent directly to me after you dropped them. Some of these need additional fixes to make them work, Some of them even to make them compile, but this is one step forward.. I have bio-related fixes for some of these also, I'll push those seperately.

OK, here's ->d_parent stuff unrelated to printk. Looking into printk right now...

[Alan: also applies to 2.2.x] William Stearns: linux/fs/file.c comment fix

Alexander Viro authored
Patch below does the following: * removes dead code from wanproc.c. When file looks like #ifdef LINUX_2_4 <800 lines> #else <900 lines> #endif there's no excuse for keeping all that junk around. * switches wanproc.c to use of seq_file * removes dead code from wanmain.c (again, dead == never seen by cc1). * fixes indentation in both * removes buttloads of trailing spaces in these files, while we are at it. See if it's OK with you...

Preparation to adding new method: new helper - shutdown_super(). It is cut from kill_super() and it had absorbed all actions done with superblock contents - now kill_super(s) is simply struct file_system_type *fs = s->s_type; if (!deactivate_super(s)) return; shutdown_super(s); put_filesystem(fs); and shutdown_super() is going to become a method.
-
Alexander Viro authored
Now remove_super() is called only from kill_super(). We move the code that closes device/drops reference to filesystem type from remove_super() into its caller.

* missing yield() added to grab_super() (on failure exit). Without that we have a nasty race - if get_sb_bdev() happens just before we grab ->s_umount in kill_super(), we are going to have get_sb_bdev() spinning indefinitely long without yielding CPU, so that kill_super() could make progress (and break the loop). * in kill_super() code that does actual superblock shutdown is wrapped in if (sb->s_root) {}. That condition is true for all old callers of kill_super(), so we don't change existing behaviour. * instances of deactivate_super()/remove_super() (after failed call of foo_fill_super()) are replaced with up_write(&s->s_umount); kill_super(s); - now it becomes legitimate (kill_super() works on such guys and does exactly what we want).

- new, less intrusive and faster migration method: /* * This is how migration works: * * 1) we queue a migration_req_t structure in the source CPU's * runqueue and wake up that CPU's migration thread. * 2) we down() the locked semaphore => thread blocks. * 3) migration thread wakes up (implicitly it forces the migrated * thread off the CPU) * 4) it gets the migration request and checks whether the migrated * task is still in the wrong runqueue. * 5) if it's in the wrong runqueue then the migration thread removes * it and puts it into the right queue. * 6) migration thread up()s the semaphore. * 7) we wake up and the migration is done. */

the lvm-patch that went into 2.5.5 missed the changes in lvm.h and is still not compileable. This patch adds those changes. The kernel i'm running right now has this patch and /var and /home on lvm.

Al updated Documentation/filesystems/porting with 2.5 changes but there is no mention of lseek. The following patch, against 2.5.5, adds lseek to the list of functions that no longer are called with the BKL. Robert Love
-
Robert Love authored
The attached patch implements proper locking in ALSA lseek methods. Note ALSA has 3 lseek implementations, but only: sound/core/info.c :: snd_info_entry_llseek() requires locking. I wrapped the function in the BKL. According to Jaroslav Kysela the gus_mem_proc method is only called from above. The third lseek, in hwdep.c, clearly doesn't need locking. Without this patch, the above lseek is not safe. Robert Love

Here enclosed patch for eata.c, eata.h, u14-34f.c, u14-34f.h to be applied to lk-2.5.5. eata.c: + Remove any reference to virt_to_bus(). + Fix pio hang while detecting multiple HBAs. + Fixed a board detection bug: in a system with multiple ISA/EISA boards, all but the first one were erroneously detected as PCI. u14-34f.c: + Remove any reference to virt_to_bus(). + Fix pio hang while detecting multiple HBAs.

After BKL was moved from the VFS into the filesystem's methods in the lookup call, we do not need to check BKL is actually held (we know it is not). This patch patch removes unneeded lock_depth check. Without this patch reiserfs cannot be used on SMP.

2.5.5 Oopses at boot time with a disk in a zipdrive. With this patch all is fine. I have not read the patch, certainly not checked it for correctness, just observed that it works for me. I think the author is Rich Baum. Andries
