      fuse: fix fallocate vs. ftruncate race · 0ab08f57
      Maxim Patlasov authored
      A former patch introducing FUSE_I_SIZE_UNSTABLE flag provided detailed
      description of races between ftruncate and anyone who can extend i_size:
      
      > 1. As in the previous scenario fuse_dentry_revalidate() discovered that i_size
      > changed (due to our own fuse_do_setattr()) and is going to call
      > truncate_pagecache() for some  'new_size' it believes valid right now. But by
      > the time that particular truncate_pagecache() is called ...
      > 2. fuse_do_setattr() returns (either having called truncate_pagecache() or
      > not -- it doesn't matter).
      > 3. The file is extended either by write(2) or ftruncate(2) or fallocate(2).
      > 4. mmap-ed write makes a page in the extended region dirty.
      
      This patch adds necessary bits to fuse_file_fallocate() to protect from that
      race.

      fuse: wait for writeback in fuse_file_fallocate() · bde52788
      Maxim Patlasov authored
      The patch fixes a race between mmap-ed write and fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE):
      
      1) An user makes a page dirty via mmap-ed write.
      2) The user performs fallocate(2) with mode == PUNCH_HOLE|KEEP_SIZE
         and <offset, size> covering the page.
      3) Before truncate_pagecache_range call from fuse_file_fallocate,
         the page goes to write-back. The page is fully processed by fuse_writepage
         (including end_page_writeback on the page), but fuse_flush_writepages did
         nothing because fi->writectr < 0.
      4) truncate_pagecache_range is called and fuse_file_fallocate is finishing
         by calling fuse_release_nowrite. The latter triggers processing queued
         write-back request which will write stale data to the hole soon.
      
      Changed in v2 (thanks to Brian for suggestion):
       - Do not truncate page cache until FUSE_FALLOCATE succeeded. Otherwise,
         we can end up in returning -ENOTSUPP while user data is already punched
         from page cache. Use filemap_write_and_wait_range() instead.
      Changed in v3 (thanks to Miklos for suggestion):
       - fuse_wait_on_writeback() is prone to livelocks; use fuse_set_nowrite()
         instead. So far as we need a dirty-page barrier only, fuse_sync_writes()
         should be enough.
       - rebased to for-linus branch of fuse.git

      partitions/efi: loosen check fot pmbr size in lba · 6b02fa59
      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      Matt found that commit 27a7c642 ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr
      size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot.  The
      reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of
      the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA.  While most disk
      partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics,
      Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit
      limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1].
      
      Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk
      or 0xFFFFFFFF.  No tool in its right mind would set it to any value
      other than these.

      cifs: Avoid calling unlock_page() twice in cifs_readpage() when using fscache · 466bd31b
      Sachin Prabhu authored
      When reading a single page with cifs_readpage(), we make a call to
      fscache_read_or_alloc_page() which once done, asynchronously calls
      the completion function cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete(). This
      completion function unlocks the page once it has been populated from
      cache. The module then attempts to unlock the page a second time in
      cifs_readpage() which leads to warning messages.
      
      In case of a successful call to fscache_read_or_alloc_page() we should skip
      the second unlock_page() since this will be called by the
      cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete() once the page has been populated by
      fscache.
      
      With the modifications to cifs_readpage_worker(), we will need to re-grab the
      page lock in cifs_write_begin().
      
      The problem was first noticed when testing new fscache patches for cifs.

      Martin Schwidefsky authored
      After the last architecture switched to generic hard irqs the config
      options HAVE_GENERIC_HARDIRQS & GENERIC_HARDIRQS and the related code
      for !CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS can be removed.

      MIPS: Fix SMP core calculations when using MT support. · 670bac3a
      Leonid Yegoshin authored
      The TCBIND register is only available if the core has MT support. It
      should not be read otherwise. Secondly, the number of TCs (siblings)
      are calculated differently depending on if the kernel is configured
      as SMVP or SMTC.

      MIPS: DECstation I/O ASIC DMA interrupt handling fix · 5359b938
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored
      This change complements commit d0da7c002f7b2a93582187a9e3f73891a01d8ee4
      and brings clear_ioasic_irq back, renaming it to clear_ioasic_dma_irq at
      the same time, to make I/O ASIC DMA interrupts functional.
      
      Unlike ordinary I/O ASIC interrupts DMA interrupts need to be deasserted
      by software by writing 0 to the respective bit in I/O ASIC's System
      Interrupt Register (SIR), similarly to how CP0.Cause.IP0 and CP0.Cause.IP1
      bits are handled in the CPU (the difference is SIR DMA interrupt bits are
      R/W0C so there's no need for an RMW cycle).  Otherwise the handler is
      reentered over and over again.
      
      The only current user is the DEC LANCE Ethernet driver and its extremely
      uncommon DMA memory error handler that does not care when exactly the
      interrupt is cleared.  Anticipating the use of DMA interrupts by the Zilog
      SCC driver this change however exports clear_ioasic_dma_irq for device
      drivers to choose the right application-specific sequence to clear the
      request explicitly rather than calling it implicitly in the .irq_eoi
      handler of `struct irq_chip'.  Previously these interrupts were cleared in
      the .end handler of the said structure, before it was removed.

      MIPS: DECstation HRT initialization rearrangement · daed1285
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored
      Not all I/O ASIC versions have the free-running counter implemented, an
      early revision used in the 5000/1xx models aka 3MIN and 4MIN did not have
      it.  Therefore we cannot unconditionally use it as a clock source.
      Fortunately if not implemented its register slot has a fixed value so it
      is enough if we check for the value at the end of the calibration period
      being the same as at the beginning.
      
      This also means we need to look for another high-precision clock source on
      the systems affected.  The 5000/1xx can have an R4000SC processor
      installed where the CP0 Count register can be used as a clock source.
      Unfortunately all the R4k DECstations suffer from the missed timer
      interrupt on CP0 Count reads erratum, so we cannot use the CP0 timer as a
      clock source and a clock event both at a time.  However we never need an
      R4k clock event device because all DECstations have a DS1287A RTC chip
      whose periodic interrupt can be used as a clock source.
      
      This gives us the following four configuration possibilities for I/O ASIC
      DECstations:
      
      1. No I/O ASIC counter and no CP0 timer, e.g. R3k 5000/1xx (3MIN).
      
      2. No I/O ASIC counter but the CP0 timer, i.e. R4k 5000/150 (4MIN).
      
      3. The I/O ASIC counter but no CP0 timer, e.g. R3k 5000/240 (3MAX+).
      
      4. The I/O ASIC counter and the CP0 timer, e.g. R4k 5000/260 (4MAX+).
      
      For #1 and #2 this change stops the I/O ASIC free-running counter from
      being installed as a clock source of a 0Hz frequency.  For #2 it also
      arranges for the CP0 timer to be used as a clock source rather than a
      clock event device, because having an accurate wall clock is more
      important than a high-precision interval timer.  For #3 there is no
      change.  For #4 the change makes the I/O ASIC free-running counter
      installed as a clock source so that the CP0 timer can be used as a clock
      event device.
      
      Unfortunately the use of the CP0 timer as a clock event device relies on a
      succesful completion of c0_compare_interrupt.  That never happens, because
      while waiting for a CP0 Compare interrupt to happen the function spins in
      a loop reading the CP0 Count register.  This makes the CP0 Count erratum
      trigger reliably causing the interrupt waited for to be lost in all cases.
      As a result #4 resorts to using the CP0 timer as a clock source as well,
      just as #2.  However we want to keep this separate arrangement in case
      (hope) c0_compare_interrupt is eventually rewritten such that it avoids
      the erratum.
