When nilfs flushes out dirty data to reduce memory pressure, creation of checkpoints is wrongly postponed. This bug causes irregular checkpoint creation especially in small footprint systems. To correct this issue, a timer for the checkpoint creation has to be continued if a log writer does not create a checkpoint. This will do the correction.

Bruno Prémont and Dunphy, Bill noticed me that NILFS will certainly hang on ARM-based targets. I found this was caused by an underflow of dirty pages counter. A b-tree cache routine was marking page dirty without adjusting page account information. This fixes the dirty page accounting leak and resolves the hang on arm-based targets.

This reverts commit d0646f7b, as requested by Eric Sandeen. It can basically cause an ext4 filesystem to miss recovery (and thus get mounted with errors) if the journal checksum does not match. Quoth Eric: "My hand-wavy hunch about what is happening is that we're finding a bad checksum on the last partially-written transaction, which is not surprising, but if we have a wrapped log and we're doing the initial scan for head/tail, and we abort scanning on that bad checksum, then we are essentially running an unrecovered filesystem. But that's hand-wavy and I need to go look at the code. We lived without journal checksums on by default until now, and at this point they're doing more harm than good, so we should revert the default-changing commit until we can fix it and do some good power-fail testing with the fixes in place." See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14354 for all the gory details.

In try_to_unuse(), swcount is a local copy of *swap_map, including the SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit; but a wrong comparison against swap_count(*swap_map), which masks off the SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit, succeeded where it should fail. That had the effect of resetting the mm from which to start searching for the next swap page, to an irrelevant mm instead of to an mm in which this swap page had been found: which may increase search time by ~20%. But we're used to swapoff being slow, so never noticed the slowdown. Remove that one spurious use of swap_count(): Bo Liu thought it merely redundant, Hugh rewrote the description since it was measurably wrong.

In commit c1c7af60 ("drm/i915: force mode set at lid open time") the intel graphics driver was taught to restore the LVDS mode on lid open. That caused problems with interaction with the suspend/resume code, which commonly runs at the same time (suspend is often caused by the lid close event, while lid open is commonly a resume event), which was worked around with in commit 06891e27 ("drm/i915: fix suspend/resume breakage in lid notifier"). However, in the meantime the lid event code had also grown a user event notifier (commit 06324194: "drm/i915: generate a KMS uevent at lid open/close time"), and now _that_ causes problems with suspend/resume and some versions of Xorg reacting to those uevents by setting the mode. So this effectively reverts that commit 06324194, and makes the lid open protection logic against suspend/resume more explicit. This fixes at least one laptop. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14484 for more details.

Mapping the same memory using two different attributes (memory type, shareability, cacheability) is unpredictable. During boot, we encounter a situation when we're updating the kernel's page tables which can lead to dirty cache lines existing in the cache which are subsequently missed. This causes stack corruption, and therefore a crash. Therefore, ensure that the shared and cacheability settings matches the configuration that will be used later; this together with the restriction in early_cachepolicy() ensures that we won't create a mismatch during boot.

ARM unwind is known to compile only with EABI and not-buggy compilers. The problem is not the unwinding information but the -fno-frame-pointer option added as a result of !CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.

The patch below also addresses a couple of other corner cases in readdir seen with a large (e.g. 64k) msize. I'm not sure what people think of my co-opting of fid->aux here. I'd be happy to rework if there's a better way. When the size of the user supplied buffer passed to readdir is smaller than the data returned in one go by the 9P read request, v9fs_dir_readdir() currently discards extra data so that, on the next call, a 9P read request will be issued with offset < previous offset + bytes returned, which voilates the constraint described in paragraph 3 of read(5) description. This patch preseves the leftover data in fid->aux for use in the next call. Signed-off-by: Jim Garlick <garlick@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

I do not know if you've looked on the patch, but unfortunately it is incorrect. A suggested better version is in this email (the old version didn't work in case the user provided buffer was not long enough - it incorrectly appended null byte on a position of last char, and thus broke the contract of the readlink method). However, I'm still not sure this is 100% correct thing to do, I think readlink is supposed to return buffer without last null byte in all cases, but we do return last null byte (even the old version).. on the other hand it is likely unspecified what is in the remaining part of the buffer, so null character may be fine there ;): Signed-off-by: Martin Stava <martin.stava@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

Convert PCMCIA drivers to use the dynamic debug infrastructure, instead of requiring manual settings of PCMCIA_DEBUG. Also, remove all usages of the CS_CHECK macro and replace them with proper Linux style calling and return value checking. The extra error reporting may be dropped, as the PCMCIA core already complains about any (non-driver-author) errors.

Don't pass NULL pointers to fput() in the error handling paths of the NOMMU do_mmap_pgoff() as it can't handle it. The following can be used as a test program: int main() { static long long a[1024 * 1024 * 20] = { 0 }; return a;} Without the patch, the code oopses in atomic_long_dec_and_test() as called by fput() after the kernel complains that it can't allocate that big a chunk of memory. With the patch, the kernel just complains about the allocation size and then the program segfaults during execve() as execve() can't complete the allocation of all the new ELF program segments.
