Make the status field explicitly 32 bits. "...it's unlikely that the kernel and userspace would differ on the size of an int here, but it might be a good idea to go ahead and make that explicitly 32 bits in case we end up dealing with more exotic arches at some point in the future."

nfs_find_and_lock_request will take a reference to the nfs_page and will then put it if the req is already locked. It's possible though that the reference will be the last one. That put then can kick off a whole series of reference puts: nfs_page nfs_open_context dentry inode If the inode ends up being deleted, then the VFS will call truncate_inode_pages. That function will try to take the page lock, but it was already locked when migrate_page was called. The code deadlocks. Fix this by simply refusing the migration request if PagePrivate is already set, indicating that the page is already associated with an active read or write request. We've had a customer test a backported version of this patch and the preliminary results seem good.

commit 420e3646 allowed the kernel to reduce the number of unnecessary commit calls by skipping the commit when there are a large number of outstanding pages. However, the current test in nfs_commit_unstable_pages does not handle the edge condition properly. When ncommit == 0, then that means that the kernel doesn't need to do anything more for the inode. The current test though in the WB_SYNC_NONE case will return true, and the inode will end up being marked dirty. Once that happens the inode will never be clean until there's a WB_SYNC_ALL flush. Fix this by immediately returning from nfs_commit_unstable_pages when ncommit == 0. Mike noticed this problem initially in RHEL5 (2.6.18-based kernel) which has a backported version of 420e3646. The inode cache there was growing very large. The inode cache was unable to be shrunk since the inodes were all marked dirty. Calling sync() would essentially "fix" the problem -- the WB_SYNC_ALL flush would result in the inodes all being marked clean. What I'm not clear on is how big a problem this is in mainline kernels as the writeback code there is very different. Either way, it seems incorrect to re-mark the inode dirty in this case.

This reverts commit b80c3cb6. The reverted commit was rendered obsolete by a VFS fix: commit 5547e8aa (writeback: Update dirty flags in two steps). We now no longer need to worry about writeback_single_inode() missing our marking the inode for COMMIT in 'do_writepages()' call. Reverting this patch, fixes a performance regression in which the inode would continuously get queued to the dirty list, causing the writeback code to unnecessarily try to send a COMMIT.

The size is always valid, but variable-length arrays generate worse code for no good reason (unless the function happens to be inlined and the compiler sees the length for the simple constant it is). Also, there seems to be some code generation problem on POWER, where Henrik Bakken reports that register r28 can get corrupted under some subtle circumstances (interrupt happening at the wrong time?). That all indicates some seriously broken compiler issues, but since variable length arrays are bad regardless, there's little point in trying to chase it down. "Just don't do that, then".

SFI tables reside in RAM and should not be modified once they are written. Current code went to set pentry->irq to zero which causes subsequent reads to fail with invalid SFI table checksum. This will break kexec as the second kernel fails to validate SFI tables. To fix this we use temporary variable for irq number.

The w83627ehf driver is improperly reporting thermal diode sensors as type 2, instead of 3. This caused "sensors" and possibly other monitoring tools to report these sensors as "transistor" instead of "thermal diode". Furthermore, diode subtype selection (CPU vs. external) is only supported by the original W83627EHF/EHG. All later models only support CPU diode type, and some (NCT6776F) don't even have the register in question so we should avoid reading from it.

With commit f64ad1a0, "gpio/omap: cleanup _set_gpio_wakeup(), remove ifdefs", access to build time conditionally omitted 'suspend_wakeup' member of the 'gpio_bank' structure has been placed unconditionally in function _set_gpio_wakeup(), which is always built. This resulted in the driver compilation broken for certain OMAP1, i.e., non-OMAP16xx, configurations. Really required or not in previously excluded cases, define this structure member unconditionally as a fix. Tested with a custom OMAP1510 only configuration.

Currently we have a few issues with the way the workqueue code is used to implement AIL pushing: - it accidentally uses the same workqueue as the syncer action, and thus can be prevented from running if there are enough sync actions active in the system. - it doesn't use the HIGHPRI flag to queue at the head of the queue of work items At this point I'm not confident enough in getting all the workqueue flags and tweaks right to provide a perfectly reliable execution context for AIL pushing, which is the most important piece in XFS to make forward progress when the log fills. Revert back to use a kthread per filesystem which fixes all the above issues at the cost of having a task struct and stack around for each mounted filesystem. In addition this also gives us much better ways to diagnose any issues involving hung AIL pushing and removes a small amount of code.

We need to check for pinned buffers even in .iop_pushbuf given that inode items flush into the same buffers that may be pinned directly due operations on the unlinked inode list operating directly on buffers. To do this add a return value to .iop_pushbuf that tells the AIL push about this and use the existing log force mechanisms to unpin it.

If an item was locked we should not update xa_last_pushed_lsn and thus skip it when restarting the AIL scan as we need to be able to lock and write it out as soon as possible. Otherwise heavy lock contention might starve AIL pushing too easily, especially given the larger backoff once we moved xa_last_pushed_lsn all the way to the target lsn.

The btrfs file defrag code will loop through the extents and force COW on them. But there is a concurrent truncate in the middle of the defrag, it might end up defragging the same range over and over again. The problem is that writepage won't go through and do anything on pages past i_size, so the cow won't happen, so the file will appear to still be fragmented. defrag will end up hitting the same extents again and again. In the worst case, the truncate can actually live lock with the defrag because the defrag keeps creating new ordered extents which the truncate code keeps waiting on. The fix here is to make defrag check for i_size inside the main loop, instead of just once before the looping starts. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

Follow those steps: # mount -o autodefrag /dev/sda7 /mnt # dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/tmp bs=200K count=1 # sync # dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/tmp bs=8K count=1 conv=notrunc and then it'll go into a loop: writeback -> defrag -> writeback ... It's because writeback writes [8K, 200K] and then writes [0, 8K]. I tried to make writeback know if the pages are dirtied by defrag, but the patch was a bit intrusive. Here I simply set writeback_index when we defrag a file. Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

The doorbell register was being unconditionally swapped. In x86, that meant it was being swapped to BE and written to the descriptor and to memory, depending on the case of blue frame support or writing to doorbell register. On PPC, this meant it was being swapped to LE and then swapped back to BE while writing to the register. But in the blue frame case, it was being written as LE to the descriptor. The fix is not to swap doorbell unconditionally, write it to the register as BE and convert it to BE when writing it to the descriptor.
