      [PATCH] NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page() · e3db7691
      由 Trond Myklebust 提交于 
          NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page()

    invalidate_inode_pages2() may find the dirty bit has been set on a page
    owing to the fact that the page may still be mapped after it was locked.
    Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page
    can no longer be dirtied.
    In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries
    to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the
    call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page
    reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference
    to the inode or dentry.

    Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will
    attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.

    Also, the bare SetPageDirty() can skew all sort of accounting leading to
    other nasties.

      [PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls · 5cbded58
      由 Robert P. J. Day 提交于 
      Run this:

	#!/bin/sh
	for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
	  echo "De-casting $f..."
	  perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
	done

And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
to non-pointers.

And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

      WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data · 65f27f38
      由 David Howells 提交于 
      Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.

For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.

To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.

Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).

However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().

In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

      WorkStruct: Separate delayable and non-delayable events. · 52bad64d
      由 David Howells 提交于 
      Separate delayable work items from non-delayable work items be splitting them
into a separate structure (delayed_work), which incorporates a work_struct and
the timer_list removed from work_struct.

The work_struct struct is huge, and this limits it's usefulness.  On a 64-bit
architecture it's nearly 100 bytes in size.  This reduces that by half for the
non-delayable type of event.
