fsck_hfs reveals lots of temporary files accumulating in the hidden directory "\000\000\000HFS+ Private Data". According to the HFS+ documentation these are files which are unlinked while in use. However, there may be a bug in the Linux hfsplus implementation which causes this to happen even when the files are not in use. It looks like the "opencnt" field is never initialized as (I think) it should be in hfsplus_read_inode. This means that a file can appear to be still in use when in fact it has been closed. This patch seems to fix it for me.

Although this message is having the intended effect of causing wireless driver maintainers to upgrade their code, I never should have merged this patch in its present form. Leading to tons of bug reports and unhappy users. Some wireless apps poll for statistics regularly, which leads to a printk() every single time they ask for stats. That's a little bit _too_ much of a reminder that the driver is using an old API. Change this to printing out the message once, per kernel boot.

The mpic interrupt controller driver (used on G5 and early pSeries among others) has a bug where it doesn't get the right virtual address for the timer registers. It causes the driver to poke at the MMIO space of whatever has been mapped just next to it (ouch !) when initializing and causes boot failures on some IBM machines.

The NUMA counters in struct per_cpu_pageset (linux/mmzone.h) are never cleared today. This works ok for CPU 0 on NUMA machines because boot_pageset[] is already zero, but for other CPU:s this results in uninitialized counters.

If qla2x00_probe_one()'s call to qla2x00_iospace_config() fails, we call qla2x00_free_device() to clean up. But because ha->dpc_pid hasn't been set yet, qla2x00_free_device() tries to stop a kernel thread which hasn't started yet. It does wait_for_completion() against an uninitialised completion struct and the kernel hangs up. Fix it by initialising ha->dpc_pid a bit earlier.

My alpha build is exploding because asm/atomic.h now needs smb_mb(), which is over in the (not included) system.h.

This might be harmless, but looks like a race from code inspection (I was unable to trigger it). I must admit, I don't understand why we can't return TIMER_RETRY after 'spin_unlock(&p->sighand->siglock)' without doing bump_cpu_timer(), but this is what original code does. posix_cpu_timer_set: read_lock(&tasklist_lock); spin_lock(&p->sighand->siglock); list_del_init(&timer->it.cpu.entry); spin_unlock(&p->sighand->siglock); We are probaly deleting the timer from run_posix_cpu_timers's 'firing' local list_head while run_posix_cpu_timers() does list_for_each_safe. Various bad things can happen, for example we can just delete this timer so that list_for_each() will not notice it and run_posix_cpu_timers() will not reset '->firing' flag. In that case, .... if (timer->it.cpu.firing) { read_unlock(&tasklist_lock); timer->it.cpu.firing = -1; return TIMER_RETRY; } sys_timer_settime() goes to 'retry:', calls posix_cpu_timer_set() again, it returns TIMER_RETRY ...

do_exit() clears ->it_##clock##_expires, but nothing prevents another cpu to attach the timer to exiting process after that. After exit_notify() does 'write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock)' and before do_exit() calls 'schedule() local timer interrupt can find tsk->exit_state != 0. If that state was EXIT_DEAD (or another cpu does sys_wait4) interrupted task has ->signal == NULL. At this moment exiting task has no pending cpu timers, they were cleaned up in __exit_signal()->posix_cpu_timers_exit{,_group}(), so we can just return from irq.

1. cleanup_timers() sets timer->task = NULL under tasklist + ->sighand locks. That means that this code in posix_cpu_timer_del() and posix_cpu_timer_set() lock_timer(timer); if (timer->task == NULL) return; read_lock(tasklist); put_task_struct(timer->task) is racy. With this patch timer->task modified and accounted only under timer->it_lock. Sadly, this means that dead task_struct won't be freed until timer deleted or armed. 2. run_posix_cpu_timers() collects expired timers into local list under tasklist + ->sighand again. That means that posix_cpu_timer_del() should check timer->it.cpu.firing under these locks too. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

We should always re-arm an event queue's interrupt in mthca_tavor_interrupt() if the corresponding bit is set in the event cause register (ECR), even if we didn't find any entries in the EQ. If we don't, then there's a window where we miss an EQ entry and then get stuck because we don't get another EQ event.

Fix a bug which was reported and diagnosed by Stefan Jones <stefan.jones@churchillrandoms.co.uk> IDR trees include a cache of idr_layer objects. There's no way to destroy this cache, so when we discard an overall idr tree we end up leaking some memory. Add and use idr_destroy() for this. v9fs and infiniband also need to use idr_destroy() to avoid leaks. Or, we make the cache global, like radix_tree_preload(). Which is probably better. Later.

That's what we've always historically done, and bigger windows seem to confuse some cardbus bridges. Or something. Alan reports that this makes the ThinkPad 600x series work properly again: the 4kB IO window for some reason made IDE DMA not work, which makes IDE painfully slow even if it works after DMA timeouts.

Bursty timers aren't good for anybody, very much including latency for other programs when we trigger lots of timers in interrupt context.

neigh_changeaddr attempts to delete neighbour timers without setting nud_state. This doesn't work because the timer may have already fired when we acquire the write lock in neigh_changeaddr. The result is that the timer may keep firing for quite a while until the entry reaches NEIGH_FAILED. It should be setting the nud_state straight away so that if the timer has already fired it can simply exit once we relinquish the lock. In fact, this whole function is simply duplicating the logic in neigh_ifdown which in turn is already doing the right thing when it comes to deleting timers and setting nud_state. So all we have to do is take that code out and put it into a common function and make both neigh_changeaddr and neigh_ifdown call it. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

neigh_add_timer cannot use add_timer unconditionally. The reason is that by the time it has obtained the write lock someone else (e.g., neigh_update) could have already added a new timer. So it should only use mod_timer and deal with its return value accordingly. This bug would have led to rare neighbour cache entry leaks. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

When I originally moved exit_itimers into __exit_signal, that was the only place where we could reliably know it was the last thread in the group dying, without races. Since then we've gotten the signal_struct.live counter, and do_exit can reliably do group-wide cleanup work. This patch moves the call to do_exit, where it's made without locks. This avoids the deadlock issues that the old __exit_signal code's comment talks about, and the one that Oleg found recently with process CPU timers.
