* [PATCH] add -o flush for fatChris Mason2006-09-293-3/+80
| | | | | | | | | | | Fat is commonly used on removable media. Mounting with -o flush tells the FS to write things to disk as quickly as possible. It is like -o sync, but much faster (and not as safe).

* [PATCH] fs.h: ifdef security fieldsAlexey Dobriyan2006-09-291-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [assuming BSD security levels are deleted] The only user of i_security, f_security, s_security fields is SELinux, however, quite a few security modules are trying to get into kernel. So, wrap them under CONFIG_SECURITY. Adding config option for each security field is likely an overkill. Following Stephen Smalley's suggestion, i_security initialization is moved to security_inode_alloc() to not clutter core code with ifdefs and make alloc_inode() codepath tiny little bit smaller and faster. The user of (highly greppable) struct fown_struct::security field is still to be found. I've checked every "fown_struct" and every "f_owner" occurence. Additionally it's removal doesn't break i386 allmodconfig build. struct inode, struct file, struct super_block, struct fown_struct become smaller. P.S. Combined with two reiserfs inode shrinking patches sent to linux-fsdevel, I can finally suck 12 reiserfs inodes into one page. /proc/slabinfo -ext2_inode_cache 388 10 +ext2_inode_cache 384 10 -inode_cache 280 14 +inode_cache 276 14 -proc_inode_cache 296 13 +proc_inode_cache 292 13 -reiser_inode_cache 336 11 +reiser_inode_cache 332 12 <= -shmem_inode_cache 372 10 +shmem_inode_cache 368 10 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Cc: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] Fix reiserfs latencies caused by data=orderedChris Mason2006-09-291-11/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ReiserFS does periodic cleanup of old transactions in order to limit the length of time a journal replay may take after a crash. Sometimes, writing metadata from an old (already committed) transaction may require committing a newer transaction, which also requires writing all data=ordered buffers. This can cause very long stalls on journal_begin. This patch makes sure new transactions will not need to be committed before trying a periodic reclaim of an old transaction. It is low risk because if a bad decision is made, it just means a slightly longer journal replay after a crash.

* [PATCH] mount udf UDF_PART_FLAG_READ_ONLY partitions with MS_RDONLYEric Sandeen2006-09-291-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a bug where a UDF_PART_FLAG_READ_ONLY udf partition gets mounted read-write, then subsequent problems happen; files seem to be able to be removed, but file creation results in EIO or worse, oops. EIO is coming from udf_new_block(), which returns EIO if the right flags aren't set; only UDF_PART_FLAG_READ_ONLY is set in this case. We probably s hould not have gotten this far... Attached patch seems to fix it - and includes a printk to alert the user that their "rw" mount request has been converted to "ro."

* [PATCH] ignore partition table on disks with AIX labelOlaf Hering2006-09-291-0/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The on-disk data structures from AIX are not known, also the filesystem layout is not known. There is a msdos partition signature at the end of the first block, and the kernel recognizes 3 small (and overlapping) partitions. But they are not usable. Maybe the firmware uses it to find the bootloader for AIX, but AIX boots also if the first block is cleared. This is the content of the partition table: # dd if=/dev/sdb count=$(( 4 * 16 )) bs=1 skip=$(( 0x1be )) | xxd 0000000: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ 0000010: 80ff ffff 41ff ffff 1b11 0000 381b 0000 ....A.......8... 0000020: 00ff ffff 41ff ffff 0211 0000 1900 0000 ....A........... 0000030: 80ff ffff 41ff ffff 1b11 0000 381b 0000 ....A.......8... Handle the whole disk as empty disk. This fixes also YaST which compares the output from parted (and formerly fdisk) with /proc/partitions. fdisk recognizes the AIX label since a long time, SuSE has a patch for parted to handle the disk label as unknown. dmesg will look like this: sda: [AIX] unknown partition table Tested on an IBM B50 with AIX V4.3.3.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Check driver layer errors. Fix from: "Jun'ichi Nomura" <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com> In blockdevc-check-errors.patch, add_bd_holder() is modified to return error values when some of its operation failed. Among them, it returns -EEXIST when a given bd_holder object already exists in the list. However, in this case, the function completed its work successfully and need no action by its caller other than freeing unused bd_holder object. So I think it's better to return success after freeing by itself. Otherwise, bd_claim-ing with same claim pointer will fail. Typically, lvresize will fails with following message: device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument and you'll see messages like below in kernel log: device-mapper: table: 254:13: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table Similarly, it should not add bd_holder to the list if either one of symlinking fails. I don't have a test case for this to happen but it should cause dereference of freed pointer. If a matching bd_holder is found in bd_holder_list, add_bd_holder() completes its job by just incrementing the reference count. In this case, it should be considered as success but it used to return 'fail' to let the caller free temporary bd_holder. Fixed it to return success and free given object by itself. Also, if either one of symlinking fails, the bd_holder should not be added to the list so that it can be discarded later. Otherwise, the caller will free bd_holder which is in the list.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In de_thread we move pids from one process to another, a rather ugly case. The function transfer_pid makes it clear what we are doing, and makes the action atomic. This is useful we ever want to atomically traverse the process group and session lists, in a rcu safe manner. Even if the atomic properties this change should be a win as transfer_pid should be less code to execute than executing both attach_pid and detach_pid, and this should make de_thread slightly smaller as only a single function call needs to be emitted. The only downside is that the code might be slower to execute as the odds are against transfer_pid being in cache. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode (i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat in the VFS inode structure). This patch: The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union, which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where the union will actually be used.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For a long time now I have had a problem with not being able to return a lookup failure on an existsing directory. In autofs this corresponds to a mount failure on a autofs managed mount entry that is browsable (and so the mount point directory exists). While this problem has been present for a long time I've avoided resolving it because it was not very visible. But now that autofs v5 has "mount and expire on demand" of nested multiple mounts, such as is found when mounting an export list from a server, solving the problem cannot be avoided any longer. I've tried very hard to find a way to do this entirely within the autofs4 module but have not been able to find a satisfactory way to achieve it. So, I need to propose a change to the VFS.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Rougly half of callers already do it by not checking return value * Code in drivers/acpi/osl.c does the following to be sure: (void)kmem_cache_destroy(cache); * Those who check it printk something, however, slab_error already printed the name of failed cache. * XFS BUGs on failed kmem_cache_destroy which is not the decision low-level filesystem driver should make.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the changes in balloc.c are just cosmetic, as Andreas pointed out - if they overflow they'll then underflow and things are fine. 5th hunk actually fixes an overflow problem. Also check for potential overflows in inode & block counts when resizing.

* [PATCH] ext3: wrong error behaviorVasily Averin2006-09-271-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SWsoft Virtuozzo/OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered that ext3 error behavior was broken in linux kernels since 2.5.x versions by the following patch: 2002/10/31 02:15:26-05:00 tytso@snap.thunk.org Default mount options from superblock for ext2/3 filesystems http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@3dc0d88eKbV9ivV4ptRNM8fBuA3JBQ In case ext3 file system is mounted with errors=continue (EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE) errors should be ignored when possible. However at present in case of any error kernel aborts journal and remounts filesystem to read-only. Such behavior was hit number of times and noted to differ from that of 2.4.x kernels. This patch fixes this: - do nothing in case of EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE, - set EXT3_MOUNT_ABORT and call journal_abort() in all other cases - panic() should be called after ext3_commit_super() to save sb marked as EXT3_ERROR_FS Signed-off-by: Vasily Averin <vvs@sw.ru> Acked-by: Kirill Korotaev <dev@sw.ru> Cc: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: "Stephen C.

* [PATCH] JBD: 16T fixesEric Sandeen2006-09-271-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These are a few places I've found in jbd that look like they may not be 16T-safe, or consistent with the use of unsigned longs for block containers. Problems here would be somewhat hard to hit, would require journal blocks past the 8T boundary, which would not be terribly common. Still, should fix. (some of these have come from the ext4 work on jbd as well). I think there's one more possibility that the wrap() function may not be safe IF your last block in the journal butts right up against the 232 block boundary, but that seems like a VERY remote possibility, and I'm not worrying about it at this point.
