Don't put requests into the background when a fatal interrupt occurs while the
request is in userspace.  This removes a major wart from the implementation.

Backgrounding of requests was introduced to allow breaking of deadlocks.
However now the same can be achieved by aborting the filesystem through the
'abort' sysfs attribute.

This is a change in the interface, but should not cause problems, since these
kinds of deadlocks never happen during normal operation.

The following patches add POSIX file locking to the fuse interface.

Additional changes ralated to this are:

  - asynchronous interrupt of requests by SIGKILL no longer supported

  - separate control filesystem, instead of using sysfs objects

  - add support for synchronously interrupting requests

Details are documented in Documentation/filesystems/fuse.txt throughout the
patches.

I've found a case where invalid dentrys in a mount tree, waiting to be
cleaned up by d_invalidate, prevent the expected expire.

In this case dentrys created during a lookup for which a mount fails or has
no entry in the mount map contribute to the d_count of the parent dentry.
These dentrys may not be invalidated prior to comparing the interanl usage
count of valid autofs dentrys against the dentry d_count which makes a
mount tree appear busy so it doesn't expire.

Backoff readahead size exponentially on I/O error.

Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> described the problem as:

[QUOTE]
Suppose there's a CD-rom with a scratch/etc, one sector is unreadable.
In order to "fix" it, one have to read it and write to another CD-rom,
or something.. or just ignore the error (if it's just a skip in a video
stream).  Let's assume the unreadable block is number U.

But current behavior is just insane.  An application requests block
number N, which is before U. Kernel tries to read-ahead blocks N..U.
Cdrom drive tries to read it, re-read it.. for some time.  Finally,
when all the N..U-1 blocks are read, kernel returns block number N
(as requested) to an application, successefully.

Now an app requests block number N+1, and kernel tries to read
blocks N+1..U+1.  Retrying again as in previous step.

And so on, up to when an app requests block number U-1.  And when,
finally, it requests block U, it receives read error.

So, kernel currentry tries to re-read the same failing block as
many times as the current readahead value (256 (times?) by default).

This whole process already killed my cdrom drive (I posted about it
to LKML several months ago) - literally, the drive has fried, and
does not work anymore.  Ofcourse that problem was a bug in firmware
(or whatever) of the drive *too*, but.. main problem with that is
current readahead logic as described above.
[/QUOTE]

Which was confirmed by Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>:

[QUOTE]
For ide-cd, it tends do only end the first part of the request on a
medium error. So you may see a lot of repeats :/
[/QUOTE]

With this patch, retries are expected to be reduced from, say, 256, to 5.

In the course of trying to track down a bug where a file mtime was not
being updated correctly, it was discovered that the m/ctime updates were
not quite being handled correctly for ftruncate() calls.

Quoth SUSv3:

open(2):

        If O_TRUNC is set and the file did previously exist, upon
        successful completion, open() shall mark for update the st_ctime
        and st_mtime fields of the file.

truncate(2):

        Upon successful completion, if the file size is changed, this
        function shall mark for update the st_ctime and st_mtime fields
        of the file, and the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits of the file mode
        may be cleared.

ftruncate(2):

        Upon successful completion, if fildes refers to a regular file,
        the ftruncate() function shall mark for update the st_ctime and
        st_mtime fields of the file and the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits of
        the file mode may be cleared. If the ftruncate() function is
        unsuccessful, the file is unaffected.

The open(O_TRUNC) and truncate cases were being handled correctly, but the
ftruncate case was being handled like the truncate case.  The semantics of
truncate and ftruncate don't quite match, so ftruncate needs to be handled
slightly differently.

The attached patch addresses this issue for ftruncate(2).

I'm testing glibc on MIPS64, little-endian, N32, O32 and N64 multilibs.

Among the NPTL test failures seen are some arising from sigsuspend problems
for N32: it blocks the wrong signals, so SIGCANCEL (SIGRTMIN) is blocked
despite glibc's carefully excluding it from sets of signals to block.
Specifically, testing suggests it blocks signal N^32 instead of signal N,
so (in the example tested) blocking SIGUSR1 (17) blocks signal 49 instead.

glibc's sigset_t uses an array of unsigned long, as does the kernel.
In both cases, signal N+1 is represented as
(1UL << (N % (8 * sizeof (unsigned long)))) in word number
(N / (8 * sizeof (unsigned long))).

Thus the N32 glibc uses an array of 32-bit words and the N64 kernel uses an
array of 64-bit words.  For little-endian, the layout is the same, with
signals 1-32 in the first 4 bytes, signals 33-64 in the second, etc.; for
big-endian, userspace has that layout while in the kernel each 8 bytes have
the two halves swapped from the userspace layout.

The N32 sigsuspend syscall uses sigset_from_compat to convert the userspace
sigset to kernel format.  If __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__ is *not* set, this uses
logic of the form

  set->sig[0] = compat->sig[0] | (((long)compat->sig[1]) << 32 )

to convert the userspace sigset to a kernel one.  This looks correct to me
for both big and little endian, given that in userspace compat->sig[1] will
represent signals 33-64, and so will the high 32 bits of set->sig[0] in the
kernel.  If however __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__ *is* set, as it is for
__MIPSEL__, it uses

  set->sig[0] = compat->sig[1] | (((long)compat->sig[0]) << 32 );

which seems incorrect for both big and little endian, and would
explain the observed symptoms.

This code is the only use of __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__, so if incorrect
then that macro serves no purpose, in which case something like the
following patch would seem appropriate to remove it.

Finding "init_module" high stack usage problems is challenging when there
are over 1600 "init_module" functions in the kernel tree, so make
checkstack.pl print out the filename where the stack usage occurs.  This is
useful for code built as loadable modules.

For built-in code, it just prints the kernel image file name, like
"vmlinux".  Examples:

(before patch:)
0x0000000d callback:					1928
0xffffffff81678c09 huft_build:				1560
0x0018 init_module:					1512

The v3020 RTC is designed to be connected on a bus using only one data bit.
 Since any data bit may be used, it is necessary to specify this to the

include/linux/rtc-v3020.h) to the driver.

drivers/acorn/char/{pcf8583.[hc],i2c.c}.  Hopefully, acorn can be converted
too to use this driver in the future.

Import genrtc's RTC UIE emulation (CONFIG_GEN_RTC_X) to rtc-dev driver with
slight adjustments/refinements.  This makes UIE-less rtc drivers work
better with programs doing read/poll on /dev/rtc, such as hwclock.  This
emulation should not harm rtc drivers with UIE support, since
rtc_dev_ioctl() calls underlaying rtc driver's ioctl() first.

This is an "RTC-framework" driver for DS1307 and similar RTC chips,

It should be a full replacement for the existing ds1337.c driver (using the
older RTC glue), giving a net increase in the number of RTC chips that work
out-of-the-box.  There's a whole cluster of RTCs that are very similar, but
the 1337 driver was a bit too picky to work with most of them.

Still no support for RTC alarm IRQs (on chips that support them).

sysrq SAK is described as being something you should mistake for SAK from
c2 compliant systems - whoops.  What's meant is that it should *not* be
mistaken as such.

Currently, enabling/disabling printk timestamps is only possible through
reboot (bootparam) or recompile.  I normally do not run with timestamps
(since syslog handles that in a good manner), but for measuring small
kernel delays (e.g.  irq probing - see parport thread) I needed subsecond
precision, but then again, just for some minutes rather than all kernel
messages to come.  The following patch adds a module_param() with which the
timestamps can be en-/disabled in a live system through
/sys/modules/printk/parameters/printk_time.

A few days ago Arjan signaled a lockdep red flag on epoll locks, and
precisely between the epoll's device structure lock (->lock) and the wait
queue head lock (->lock).

Like I explained in another email, and directly to Arjan, this can't happen
in reality because of the explicit check at eventpoll.c:592, that does not
allow to drop an epoll fd inside the same epoll fd.  Since lockdep is
working on per-structure locks, it will never be able to know of policies
enforced in other parts of the code.

It was decided time ago of having the ability to drop epoll fds inside
other epoll fds, that triggers a very trick wakeup operations (due to
possibly reentrant callback-driven wakeups) handled by the
ep_poll_safewake() function.  While looking again at the code though, I
noticed that all the operations done on the epoll's main structure wait
queue head (->wq) are already protected by the epoll lock (->lock), so that
locked-style functions can be used to manipulate the ->wq member.  This
makes both a lock-acquire save, and lockdep happy.

Running totalmess on my dual opteron for a while did not reveal any problem
so far:
