If the log (journal) superblock is changed between the time we mount and unmount the volume, don't trap. Instead complain, and exit gracefully.

The directory index values are the unique cookies used to resume a readdir at the proper place. These are stored with each entry in a directory. fsck.jfs does not currently validate these entries, nor even create them when populating the lost+found directory. This patch causes readdir to detect the invalid cookies, and generate new ones, if possible.

readdir: Don't hold metadata page while calling filldir(). NFS's filldir may call lookup() which could result in a hang.

As it is at the moment, sys_mprotect will dereference a null pointer if you use it on a region that is contained within the first vma. I have a little program that demonstrates this (I'll post it if anyone is interested). What happens then is that the process hangs in do_page_fault at the down_read on the mm->mmap_sem, since sys_mprotect has done a down_write on mm->mmap_sem. The problem is that mprotect_fixup isn't updating prev properly. Thus we can finish the main loop in sys_mprotect with prev == NULL. This has been the case since Christoph's cleanups went in. Prior to that, mprotect_fixup always set prev to something non-NULL. I suspect that not updating prev could also cause vmas to get dropped completely if the region being mprotected spans more than one vma. The patch below fixes the problem by making mprotect_fixup set prev to a reasonable value in all circumstances.

This unsafe access to per-CPU data via reordering of instructions or use of "get_cpu()". Before anyone balks at the brlock.h fix, note this was in the alternative version of the code which is not used by default.

Before the irqs_disabled() check in preempt_schedule(), we worked around some locking issues in slab.c. Now that we will never preempt with interrupts disabled, we can remove those and clean things up. This is courtesy of Manfred Spraul.

This converts the debugging check in do_exit from a check on preempt_count() to in_atomic(). The main benefit to this is we will stop warning over the BKL and now use the standard mechanism for such checks.

Looks like I dropped a hunk from my patchset, sorry. We never set FL_SLEEP in the flock case, so if we should block, we'll livelock instead.

This is needed for reasonable read latency with the new VM behaviour. NOTE! This is way too unfair, Andrew and Jens are working on alternatives.

IDE must use blk_queue_empty() and not do a list_empty() on the (potentially only) dispatch queue. This took quite a while to find while debugging a new io scheduler...

This fixes the emacs bug reported by Andries. It should probably also fix other, terminal handling related weirdnesses introduced by the new PID handling code in 2.5.38. The bug was in the session_of_pgrp() function, if no proper session is found in the process group then we must take the session ID from the process that has pgrp PID (which does not necesserily have to be part of the pgrp). The fallback code is only triggered when no process in the process group has a valid session - besides being faster, this also matches the old implementation. [ hey, who needs a POSIX conformance testsuite when we have emacs! ;) ]

The direct-IO code is currently generating 1 meg BIOs (and subsequent BUGs) because it doesn't know about bio_add_page(). Could we please drop it to 16k until we get it sorted out?

Like the header says, this patch fixes up the various Transfer- and Transport-level return codes. There were a lot of places in the various subdrivers that were not particularly careful about distinguishing the two; it would help if the people currently maintaining those drivers could take a look at my changes to make sure I haven't screwed anything up. # Converted US_BULK_TRANSFER_xxx to USB_STOR_XFER_xxx, to make it more # easily distinguishable from USB_STOR_TRANSPORT_xxx. (Also, in the # future these codes may apply to control transfers as well as to bulk # transfers.) # # Changed USB_STOR_XFER_FAILED to USB_STOR_XFER_ERROR, since it implies # a transport error rather than a transport failure. # # Added a USB_STOR_XFER_STALLED code, to indicate a transfer that was # terminated by an endpoint stall. This patch is in preparation for one in which usb_stor_transfer_partial() and usb_stor_transfer() are replaced by usb_stor_bulk_transfer_buf() and usb_stor_bulk_transfer_srb() respectively, with slightly different argument lists. Ultimately the subdrivers will be able to use these routines in place of the slightly specialized versions they have now and in place of the ones in raw_bulk.c.

Here's an EHCI update, I'll send separate patches to sync 2.4 with this version. Changes in this version include: - An earlier locking update would give trouble on SPARC, where irqsave "flags" aren't flags. This resolves that issue by adding a module parameter to limit work done with irqs off. (Some net drivers do the same thing.) - Optionally (now #ifdef DEBUG) collects some statistics on IRQs and URBs. There are more IAA interrupts than I want to see, during extended usb-storage loading. - Adds a commented-out workaround for a problem I've seen on one VT8235. Seems likely an issue with this specific motherboard; another tester hasn't reported such issues. - Includes the jiffies time_after() patch from Tim Schmielau. - Minor tweaks to the hcd portability (get rid of another #if). - Minor doc/diagnostic/... updates

This USB patch updates the OHCI driver: - converts to relying on td_list shadowing the hardware's schedule; only collecting the donelist needs dma_to_td(), and td list handling works much like EHCI or UHCI. - leaves faulted endpoint queues (bulk/intr) disabled until the relevant drivers had a chance to clean up. - fixes minor bugs (unreported) in the affected code: * byteswap problem when unlinking urbs ... symptom would be data toggle confusion (since 2.4.2x) on big-endian cpus * latent bug if folk unlinked queue in LIFO order, not FIFO - removes unnecessary debug code; mostly de-BUG()ged The interesting fix is the "leave queues halted" one. As discussed on email a while back, this HCD fault handling policy (also followed by EHCI) is sufficient to let device drivers implement the two key fault handling policies that seem to be necessary: (a) Datagram style, where issues on one I/O won't affect the next unless the device halted the endpoint. The device driver can ignore most errors other than -EPIPE. (b) Stream style, where for example it'd be wrong to ever let block N+1 overwrite block N on the disk. Once the first URB fails, the rest would just be unlinked in the completion handler. As a consequence of using the td_list, you can now see urb queuing in action in the driverfs 'async' file. At least, if you look at the right time, or use drivers (networking, etc) that queue (bulk) reads for a long time.

This does the following things: - removes the ->thread_group list and uses a new PIDTYPE_TGID pid class to handle thread groups. This cleans up lots of code in signal.c and elsewhere. - fixes sys_execve() if a non-leader thread calls it. (2.5.38 crashed in this case.) - renames list_for_each_noprefetch to __list_for_each. - cleans up delayed-leader parent notification. - introduces link_pid() to optimize PIDTYPE_TGID installation in the thread-group case. I've tested the patch with a number of threaded and non-threaded workloads, and it works just fine. Compiles & boots on UP and SMP x86. The session/pgrp bugs reported to lkml are probably still open, they are the next on my todo - now that we have a clean pidhash architecture they should be easier to fix.

The problem is that the local APIC code references stuff in mpparse, but 2.5.37 changed arch/i386/kernel/Makefile to only compile mpparse for SMP. This patch works around this by enforcing CONFIG_X86_MPPARSE for all LOCAL_APIC-enabled configs.

Add bio_get_nr_vecs(). It returns an approximate number of pages that can be added to a block device. It's just a ballpark number, but I think this is quite fine for the type of thing it is needed for: mpage etc need to know an approx size of a bio that they need to allocate. It would be silly to continously allocate 64-page sized bio_vec entries, if the target cannot do more than 8, for example.
