      [PATCH] Cleanup patch for process freezing · 3e1d1d28
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:
      
         frozen(process)		Check for frozen process
         freezing(process)		Check if a process is being frozen
         freeze(process)		Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
         thaw_process(process)	Restart process
         frozen_process(process)	Process is frozen now
      
      2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
         kernel sources except sched.h
      
      3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver
      
      4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.
      
      5. Some whitespace cleanup
      
      6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
         cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
         PF_FROZEN).
      
      This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
      that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
      in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

      [PATCH] ext3: fix list scanning in __cleanup_transaction · 7e3b11a9
      Jan Kara 提交于
      Fix a bug in list scanning that can cause us to skip the last buffer on the
      checkpoint list (and hence fail to do any progress under some rather
      unfavorable conditions).
      
      The problem is we first do jh=next_jh and then test
      
      	} while (jh!=last_jh);
      
      Hence we skip the last buffer on the list (if it was not the only buffer on
      the list).  As we already do jh=next_jh; in the beginning of the loop we
      are safe to just remove the assignment in the end.  It can happen that 'jh'
      will be freed at the point we test jh != last_jh but that does not matter
      as we never *dereference* the pointer.

      [PATCH] ext3: fix log_do_checkpoint() assertion failure · 00ea8145
      Jan Kara 提交于
      Fix possible false assertion failure in log_do_checkpoint().  We might fail
      to detect that we actually made a progress when cleaning up the checkpoint
      lists if we don't retry after writing something to disk.  The patch was
      confirmed to fix observed assertion failures for several users.
      
      When we flushed some buffers we need to retry scanning the list.
      Otherwise we can fail to detect our progress.

      [PATCH] jbd dirty buffer leak fix · d13df84f
      akpm@osdl.org 提交于
      This fixes the lots-of-fsx-linux-instances-cause-a-slow-leak bug.
      
      It's been there since 2.6.6, caused by:
      
      ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.5/2.6.5-mm4/broken-out/jbd-move-locked-buffers.patch
      
      That patch moves under-writeout ordered-data buffers onto a separate journal
      list during commit.  It took out the old code which was based on a single
      list.
      
      The old code (necessarily) had logic which would restart I/O against buffers
      which had been redirtied while they were on the committing transaction's
      t_sync_datalist list.  The new code only writes buffers once, ignoring
      redirtyings by a later transaction, which is good.
      
      But over on the truncate side of things, in journal_unmap_buffer(), we're
      treating buffers on the t_locked_list as inviolable things which belong to the
      committing transaction, and we just leave them alone during concurrent
      truncate-vs-commit.
      
      The net effect is that when truncate tries to invalidate a page whose buffers
      are on t_locked_list and have been redirtied, journal_unmap_buffer() just
      leaves those buffers alone.  truncate will remove the page from its mapping
      and we end up with an anonymous clean page with dirty buffers, which is an
      illegal state for a page.  The JBD commit will not clean those buffers as they
      are removed from t_locked_list.  The VM (try_to_free_buffers) cannot reclaim
      these pages.
      
      The patch teaches journal_unmap_buffer() about buffers which are on the
      committing transaction's t_locked_list.  These buffers have been written and
      I/O has completed.  We can take them off the transaction and undirty them
      within the context of journal_invalidatepage()->journal_unmap_buffer().

      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
