      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      sanitize xattr handler prototypes · 431547b3
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Add a flags argument to struct xattr_handler and pass it to all xattr
      handler methods.  This allows using the same methods for multiple
      handlers, e.g. for the ACL methods which perform exactly the same action
      for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying
      attribute.  With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the
      methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and
      jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch.
      
      Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow
      using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later,
      e.g. cifs.

      jffs2: Fix memory corruption in jffs2_read_inode_range() · 199bc9ff
      David Woodhouse 提交于
      In 2.6.23 kernel, commit a32ea1e1
      ("Fix read/truncate race") fixed a race in the generic code, and as a
      side effect, now do_generic_file_read() can ask us to readpage() past
      the i_size. This seems to be correctly handled by the block routines
      (e.g. block_read_full_page() fills the page with zeroes in case if
      somebody is trying to read past the last inode's block).
      
      JFFS2 doesn't handle this; it assumes that it won't be asked to read
      pages which don't exist -- and thus that there will be at least _one_
      valid 'frag' on the page it's being asked to read. It will fill any
      holes with the following memset:
      
        memset(buf, 0, min(end, frag->ofs + frag->size) - offset);
      
      When the 'closest smaller match' returned by jffs2_lookup_node_frag() is
      actually on a previous page and ends before 'offset', that results in:
      
        memset(buf, 0, <huge unsigned negative>);
      
      Hopefully, in most cases the corruption is fatal, and quickly causing
      random oopses, like this:
      
        root@10.0.0.4:~/ltp-fs-20090531# ./testcases/kernel/fs/ftest/ftest01

      This patch fixes the issue, plus fixes all LTP tests on NAND/UBI with
      JFFS2 filesystem that were failing since 2.6.23 (seems like the bug
      above also broke the truncation).

      [JFFS2] fix mount crash caused by removed nodes · 4c41bd0e
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      At scan time we observed following scenario:
      
         node A inserted
         node B inserted
         node C inserted -> sets overlapped flag on node B
      
         node A is removed due to CRC failure -> overlapped flag on node B remains
      
         while (tn->overlapped)
         	 tn = tn_prev(tn);
      
         ==> crash, when tn_prev(B) is referenced.
      
      When the ultimate node is removed at scan time and the overlapped flag
      is set on the penultimate node, then nothing updates the overlapped
      flag of that node. The overlapped iterators blindly expect that the
      ultimate node does not have the overlapped flag set, which causes the
      scan code to crash.
      
      It would be a huge overhead to go through the node chain on node
      removal and fix up the overlapped flags, so detecting such a case on
      the fly in the overlapped iterators is a simpler and reliable
      solution.

      [JFFS2] force the jffs2 GC daemon to behave a bit better · efab0b5d
      Andres Salomon 提交于
      I've noticed some pretty poor behavior on OLPC machines after bootup, when
      gdm/X are starting.  The GCD monopolizes the scheduler (which in turns
      means it gets to do more nand i/o), which results in processes taking much
      much longer than they should to start.
      
      As an example, on an OLPC machine going from OFW to a usable X (via
      auto-login gdm) takes 2m 30s.  The majority of this time is consumed by
      the switch into graphical mode.  With this patch, we cut a full 60s off of
      bootup time.  After bootup, things are much snappier as well.
      
      Note that we have seen a CRC node error with this patch that causes the machine
      to fail to boot, but we've also seen that problem without this patch.
