      [PATCH] ext3: htree memory leak fix · 2d10c0bb
      Andrew Morton authored
      From Alex Tomas
      
      We started using ext3_dx_readdir() for all dir_index filesystems, because
      we want to return entries in hash order always, so that readdir with a
      partial read + new entry added before next readdir won't be crazy.
      
      So we now need to free the structure at filp->pricate_data even against
      non-indexed directories.

      [PATCH] htree nfs fix · 699155e3
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
      
      We now use 0x7ffffff as the EOF cookie, because Linux NFS stupidly interprets
      the cookie (which is supposed to be a bag of bits without necessarily any
      semantic value) as a signed 64 bit integer, and then converts it to a
      unsigned integer, and then blows up if it cannot be expressed be expressed as
      a 32-bit value!!
      
      In order to do this, we have to fold the hash value 0x7ffffff into the hash
      value 0x7ffffffe.  This is relatively safe; the only time we will lose if the
      directory contains filenames that hash to both 0x7ffffffe and 0x7fffffff
      (under the original hash), and the last directory entry which hashes to
      0x7ffffffe is at the end of a leaf block, and the first directory entry which
      hashes to 0x7fffffff is at the beginning of a leaf block.

      [PATCH] Fix ext3 htree / NFS compatibility problems · 7c6d1fb9
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
      
      The following patch should (in theory) fix the htree/NFS readdir problems
      that people have reported.  Specifically, it should fix the NFS looping on
      EOF problem with readdir, as well as the problems caused by coverting a
      directory to HTREE while an NFS readdir is in progress problem.
      
      I'd appreciate it if people who can easily replicate these NFS/htree problems
      could give this patch (against BK-recent / 2.5.63) a whirl.  Thanks!!

      [PATCH] Reserve the ext2/ext3 EAs for the Lustre filesystem · 2c227ffa

      From: Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
      
      Below are the patches which reserve the Lustre EA index.  The rest of the
      code is part of the Lustre tree, which isn't working with 2.5 yet.

      [PATCH] vmalloc race fix · 9bc3b5f1
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com>
      
      The new vmalloc() semantics from 2.5.32 had a race window.  As things stand,
      the presence of a vm_area in the vmlist protects from allocators other than
      the owner examining the ptes in that area.  This puts an ordering constraint
      on unmapping, so that allocators are required to unmap areas before removing
      them from the list or otherwise dropping the lock.
      
      Currently, unmap_vm_area() is done outside the lock and after the area is
      removed, which as we've seen from Felix von Leitner's test is oopsable.
      
      The following patch folds calls to unmap_vm_area() into remove_vm_area() to
      reinstate what are essentially the 2.4.x semantics of vfree().  This renders
      a number of unmap_vm_area() calls unnecessary (and in fact oopsable since
      they wipe ptes from later allocations).  It's an open question as to whether
      this is sufficiently performant, but it is the minimally invasive approach.
      The more performant alternative is to provide the right API hooks to wipe the
      vmalloc() area clean before removing them from the list, using the ownership
      of the area to eliminate holding the vmlist_lock for the duration of the
      unmapping.  If it proves to be necessary wli is on standby to implement it.

      [PATCH] de_thread memory corruption fix · 172edfcb
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>
      
      de_thread calls list_del(&current->tasks), but current->tasks was never
      added to the task list. The structure contains stale values from the parent.
      
      switch_exec_pid() transforms a normal thread to a thread group leader.
      Thread group leaders are included in the init_task.tasks linked list,
      non-leaders are not in that list.  The patch adds the new thread group
      leader to the linked list, otherwise de_thread corrupts the task list.

      [PATCH] copy_process return value fix · 7953a508
      Andrew Morton authored
      Rather than assuming that all the things which copy_process() calls want to
      return -ENOMEM, correctly propagate the return values.
      
      This turns out to be a no-op at present.
