nfs_update_inode will update isize if there is no queued pages. For pNFS, layoutcommit is supposed to change file size on server, the same effect as queued pages. nfs_update_inode may be called when dirty pages are written back (nfsi->npages==0) but layoutcommit is not sent, and it will change client file size according to server file size. Then client ends up losing what it just writes back in pNFS path. So we should skip updating client file size if file needs layoutcommit.

If the NLM daemon is killed on the NFS server, we can currently end up hanging forever on an 'unlock' request, instead of aborting. Basically, if the rpcbind request fails, or the server keeps returning garbage, we really want to quit instead of retrying.

Unmounting a pnfs filesystem hangs using filelayout and possibly others. This fixes the use of the rcu protected node by making use of a new 'tmpnode' for the temporary purge list. Also, the spinlock shouldn't be held when calling synchronize_rcu().

The new instruction_pointer_set helper is defined for people who have converted to asm-generic/ptrace.h, so don't use it generally unless the arch needs it (in which case it has been converted). This should fix building of kgdb tests for arches not yet converted.

When invalid parameters are passed to apparmor_setprocattr a NULL deref oops occurs when it tries to record an audit message. This is because it is passing NULL for the profile parameter for aa_audit. But aa_audit now requires that the profile passed is not NULL. Fix this by passing the current profile on the task that is trying to setprocattr.

Commit cc3ce517 (rcu: Start RCU kthreads in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state) fudges a sleeping task' state, resulting in the scheduler seeing a TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE task going to sleep, but a TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE task waking up. The result is unbalanced load calculation. The problem that patch tried to address is that the RCU threads could stay in UNINTERRUPTIBLE state for quite a while and triggering the hung task detector due to on-demand wake-ups. Cure the problem differently by always giving the tasks at least one wake-up once the CPU is fully up and running, this will kick them out of the initial UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and into the regular INTERRUPTIBLE wait state. [ The alternative would be teaching kthread_create() to start threads as INTERRUPTIBLE but that needs a tad more thought. ] Reported-by: Damien Wyart <damien.wyart@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul E.

Michael S. Tsirkin authored
Add an API that tells the other side that callbacks should be delayed until a lot of work has been done. Implement using the new event_idx feature. Note: it might seem advantageous to let the drivers ask for a callback after a specific capacity has been reached. However, as a single head can free many entries in the descriptor table, we don't really have a clue about capacity until get_buf is called. The API is the simplest to implement at the moment, we'll see what kind of hints drivers can pass when there's more than one user of the feature. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

Support for the new event idx feature: 1. When enabling interrupts, publish the current avail index value to the host to get interrupts on the next update. 2. Use the new avail_event feature to reduce the number of exits from the guest. Simple test with the simulator: [virtio]# time ./virtio_test spurious wakeus: 0x7 real 0m0.169s user 0m0.140s sys 0m0.019s [virtio]# time ./virtio_test --no-event-idx spurious wakeus: 0x11 real 0m0.649s user 0m0.295s sys 0m0.335s Signed-off-by: Michael S.

With the new used_event and avail_event and features, both host and guest need similar logic to check whether events are enabled, so it helps to put the common code in the header. Note that Xen has similar logic for notification hold-off in include/xen/interface/io/ring.h with req_event and req_prod corresponding to event_idx + 1 and new_idx respectively. +1 comes from the fact that req_event and req_prod in Xen start at 1, while event index in virtio starts at 0.

The virtio balloon driver has a VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST feature bit. Whenever the bit is set, the guest kernel must always tell the host before we free pages back to the allocator. Without this feature, we might free a page (and have another user touch it) while the hypervisor is unprepared for it. But, if the bit is _not_ set, we are under no obligation to reverse the order; we're under no obligation to do _anything_. As of now, qemu-kvm defines the bit, but doesn't set it. This patch makes the "tell host first" logic the only case. This should make everybody happy, and reduce the amount of untested or untestable code in the kernel. This _also_ means that we don't have to preserve a pfn list after the pages are freed, which should let us get rid of some temporary storage (vb->pfns) eventually.

Wire up the virtio_driver config_changed method to get notified about config changes raised by the host. For now we just re-read the device size to support online resizing of devices, but once we add more attributes that might be changeable they could be added as well. Note that the config_changed method is called from irq context, so we'll have to use the workqueue infrastructure to provide us a proper user context for our changes.
