Port fix to the off-by-one in find_next_usable_block's memscan from ext2 to ext4; but it didn't cause a serious problem for ext4 because the additional ext4_test_allocatable check rescued it from the error. [akpm@osdl.org: build fix] Signed-off-by:

ext4_new_blocks should reset the reservation window size to 0 when squeezing the last blocks out of an almost full filesystem, so the retry doesn't skip any groups with less than half that free, reporting ENOSPC too soon. Signed-off-by:

In the current jbd code, if a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is dirty and not locked, the buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list, submitted to the IO and waited for IO completion. But the fsstress test showed the case that when a buffer was already submitted to the IO just before the buffer_dirty(bh) check, the buffer was not waited for IO completion. Following patch solves this problem. If it is assumed that a buffer is submitted to the IO before the buffer_dirty(bh) check and still being written to disk, this buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list.

Always build hweight8/16/32/64() functions into the kernel so that loadable modules may use them.

We add a save link for O_DIRECT writes to protect the i_size against the crashes before we actually finish the I/O. If we hit an -ENOSPC in aops->prepare_write(), we would do a truncate() to release the blocks which might have got initialized. Now the truncate would add another save link for the same inode causing a reiserfs panic for having multiple save links for the same inode. Signed-off-by:

BP, Praveen authored
In the functions do_proc_dointvec() and do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(), there seems to be a bug in string length calculation if string contains negative integer. The console log given below explains the bug. Setting negative values may not be a right thing to do for "console log level" but then the test (given below) can be used to demonstrate the bug in the code. # echo "-1 -1 -1 -123456" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk # cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk -1 -1 -1 -1234 # # echo "-1 -1 -1 123456" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk # cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk -1 -1 -1 1234 # (akpm: the bug is that 123456 gets truncated) It works as expected if string contains all +ve integers # echo "1 2 3 4" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk # cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk 1 2 3 4 # The patch given below fixes the issue.

This a set of fixes mostly to make the driver actually work: 1. Actually select the line for setting parameters and receiver disable/enable. 2. Select the line for receive and transmit interrupt handling correctly. 3. Report the transmitter empty state correctly. 4. Set the I/O type of ports correctly. 5. Perform polled transmission correctly. 6. Don't fix the console line at ttyS3. 7. Magic SysRq support. 8. Various small bits here and there. Tested with a DECstation 2100 (thanks Flo for making this possible). [akpm@osdl.org: fix typo] Signed-off-by:

Pass struct dev pointer to dma_cache_sync() dma_cache_sync() is ill-designed in that it does not have a struct device pointer argument which makes proper support for systems that consist of a mix of coherent and non-coherent DMA devices hard.

On 32bits SMP platforms, 64bits i_size is protected by a seqcount (i_size_seqcount). When i_size is read or written, i_size_seqcount is read/written as well, so it make sense to group these two fields together in the same cache line. This patch moves i_size_seqcount next to i_size, and also moves i_version to let offsetof(struct inode, i_size) being 0x40 instead of 0x3c (for 32bits platforms). For 64 bits platforms, i_size_seqcount doesnt exist, and the move of a 'long i_version' should not introduce a new hole because of padding. Signed-off-by:

We currently insert socket dentries into the global dentry hashtable. This is suboptimal because there is currently no way these entries can be used for a lookup(). (/proc/xxx/fd/xxx uses a different mechanism). Inserting them in dentry hashtable slows dcache lookups. To let __dpath() still work correctly (ie not adding a " (deleted)") after dentry name, we do : - Right after d_alloc(), pretend they are hashed by clearing the DCACHE_UNHASHED bit. - Call d_instantiate() instead of d_add() : dentry is not inserted in hash table. __dpath() & friends work as intended during dentry lifetime. - At dismantle time, once dput() must clear the dentry, setting again DCACHE_UNHASHED bit inside the custom d_delete() function provided by socket code, so that dput() can just kill_it.

Some dentries don't need to be globally visible in dentry hashtable. (pipes & sockets) Such dentries dont need to wait for a RCU grace period at delete time. Being able to free them permits a better CPU cache use (hot cache) This patch combined with (dont insert pipe dentries into dentry_hashtable) reduced time of { pipe(p); close(p[0]); close(p[1]);} on my UP machine (1.6 GHz Pentium-M) from 3.23 us to 2.86 us (But this patch does not depend on other patches, only bench results) Signed-off-by: -

On some workloads, (for example when lot of close() syscalls are done), RCU qlen can be quite large, and RCU heads are no longer in cpu cache when rcu_do_batch() is called. This patch adds a prefetch() in rcu_do_batch() to give CPU a hint to bring back cache lines containing 'struct rcu_head's. Most list manipulations macros include prefetch(), but not open coded ones (at least with current C compilers :) ) I got a nice speedup on a trivial benchmark (3.48 us per iteration instead of 3.95 us on a 1.6 GHz Pentium-M) while (1) { pipe(p); close(fd[0]); close(fd[1]);} Signed-off-by: -

This creates a new RTC-framework driver for the RTC/calendar module found in various OMAP1 chips. (OMAP2 and OMAP3 use external RTCs, like those in TI's multifunction PM companion chips.) It's been in the Linux-OMAP tree for several months now, and other trees before that, so it's quite stable. The most notable issue is that the OMAP IRQ code doesn't yet support the RTC IRQ as a wakeup event. Once that's fixed, a patch will be needed. Signed-off-by:
