      ext4: re-enable -o discard functionality in no-journal mode · b5e2368b
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      This is a revert of commit b56ff9d3, which removed the call to
      ext4_issue_discard() to fix a BUG reported because
      ext4_issue_discard() was being called from inside a block group
      spinlock.  As it turns out this bug had already been fixed by Lukas
      Czerner in commit 53fdcf99 by the simple expedient of moving when
      we call ext4_issue_discard() outside the spinlock.
      
      So it should be safe to re-enable this functionality, which I tested
      by putting an BUG_ON(in_atomic) just after the restored callsite to
      ext4_issue_discard().

      ext4: fix possible non-initialized variable in htree_dirblock_to_tree() · 90b0a973
      Carlos Maiolino authored
      htree_dirblock_to_tree() declares a non-initialized 'err' variable,
      which is passed as a reference to another functions expecting them to
      set this variable with their error codes.
      
      It's passed to ext4_bread(), which then passes it to ext4_getblk(). If
      ext4_map_blocks() returns 0 due to a lookup failure, leaving the
      ext4_getblk() buffer_head uninitialized, it will make ext4_getblk()
      return to ext4_bread() without initialize the 'err' variable, and
      ext4_bread() will return to htree_dirblock_to_tree() with this variable
      still uninitialized.  htree_dirblock_to_tree() will pass this variable
      with garbage back to ext4_htree_fill_tree(), which expects a number of
      directory entries added to the rb-tree. which, in case, might return a
      fake non-zero value due the garbage left in the 'err' variable, leading
      the kernel to an Oops in ext4_dx_readdir(), once this is expecting a
      filled rb-tree node, when in turn it will have a NULL-ed one, causing an
      invalid page request when trying to get a fname struct from this NULL-ed
      rb-tree node in this line:
      
      fname = rb_entry(info->curr_node, struct fname, rb_hash);
      
      The patch itself initializes the err variable in
      htree_dirblock_to_tree() to avoid usage mistakes by the called
      functions, and also fix ext4_getblk() to return a initialized 'err'
      variable when ext4_map_blocks() fails a lookup.

      ext4: make sure the journal sb is written in ext4_clear_journal_err() · d796c52e
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      After we transfer set the EXT4_ERROR_FS bit in the file system
      superblock, it's not enough to call jbd2_journal_clear_err() to clear
      the error indication from journal superblock --- we need to call
      jbd2_journal_update_sb_errno() as well.  Otherwise, when the root file
      system is mounted read-only, the journal is replayed, and the error
      indicator is transferred to the superblock --- but the s_errno field
      in the jbd2 superblock is left set (since although we cleared it in
      memory, we never flushed it out to disk).
      
      This can end up confusing e2fsck.  We should make e2fsck more robust
      in this case, but the kernel shouldn't be leaving things in this
      confused state, either.

        OLPC machines are now ARM-based (which means lots of x86 and ARM

        sense to go through a separate OLPC tree after getting the appropriate

      Pull arm-soc cpuidle enablement for OMAP from Olof Johansson:
       "Coupled cpuidle was meant to merge for 3.5 through Len Brown's tree,
        but didn't go in because the pull request ended up rejected.  So it
        just got merged, and we got this staged branch that enables the
        coupled cpuidle code on OMAP.
      
        With a stable git workflow from the other maintainer we could have
        staged this earlier, but that wasn't the case so we have had to merge
        it late.
      
        The alternative is to hold it off until 3.7 but given that the code is
        well-isolated to OMAP and they are eager to see it go in, I didn't
        push back hard in that direction."
