This helps userland programs like the rmcp command to distinguish
error codes returned against a checkpoint removal request.

Previously -EPERM was returned, and not discriminable from real
permission errors.  This also allows removal of the latest checkpoint
because the deletion leads to create a new checkpoint, and thus it's
harmless for the filesystem.

This adds a missing sync_page method which unplugs bio requests when
waiting for page locks. This will improve read performance of nilfs.

Nilfs has some ioctl commands to read out metadata from meta data
files:

 - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO for checkpoint file,
 - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUINFO for segment usage file, and
 - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_VINFO for Disk Address Transalation (DAT) file,
   respectively.

Every routine on these metadata files is implemented so that it allows
future expansion of on-disk format.  But, the above ioctl commands do
not support expansion even though nilfs_argv structure can handle
arbitrary size for data exchanged via ioctl.

This allows future expansion of the following structures which give
basic format of the "get information" ioctls:

 - struct nilfs_cpinfo
 - struct nilfs_suinfo
 - struct nilfs_vinfo

So, this introduces forward compatility of such ioctl commands.

In this patch, a sanity check in nilfs_ioctl_get_info() function is
changed to accept larger data structure [1], and metadata read
routines are rewritten so that they become compatible for larger
structures; the routines will just ignore the remaining fields which
the current version of nilfs doesn't know.

[1] The ioctl function already has another upper limit (PAGE_SIZE
    against a structure, which appears in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy
    function), and this will not cause security problem.

Hi,

I introduced "is_partially_uptodate" aops for NILFS2.

A page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate, some buffers
can be uptodate on pagesize != blocksize environment.
This aops checks that all buffers which correspond to a part of a file
that we want to read are uptodate. If so, we do not have to issue actual
read IO to HDD even if a page is not uptodate because the portion we
want to read are uptodate.
"block_is_partially_uptodate" function is already used by ext2/3/4.
With the following patch random read/write mixed workloads or random read after
random write workloads can be optimized and we can get performance improvement.

I did a performance test using the sysbench.

Previously, the bmap codes of nilfs used three types of function
tables.  The abuse of indirect function calls decreased source
readability and suffered many indirect jumps which would confuse
branch prediction of processors.

This eliminates one type of the function tables,
nilfs_bmap_ptr_operations, which was used to dispatch low level
pointer operations of the nilfs bmap.

This adds a new integer variable "b_ptr_type" to nilfs_bmap struct,
and uses the value to select the pointer operations.

There's a bug in the mxser kernel module that still appears in the
2.6.29.4 kernel.

mxser_get_ISA_conf takes a ioaddress as its first argument, by passing the
not of the ioaddr, you're effectively passing 0 which means it won't be
able to talk to an ISA card.  I have tested this, and removing the !
fixes the problem.

In commit code, we scan buffers attached to a transaction.  During this
scan, we sometimes have to drop j_list_lock and then we recheck whether
the journal buffer head didn't get freed by journal_try_to_free_buffers().
 But checking for buffer_jbd(bh) isn't enough because a new journal head
could get attached to our buffer head.  So add a check whether the journal
head remained the same and whether it's still at the same transaction and
list.

This is a nasty bug and can cause problems like memory corruption (use after
free) or trigger various assertions in JBD code (observed).

The recent ->lookup() deadlock correction required the directory inode
mutex to be dropped while waiting for expire completion.  We were
concerned about side effects from this change and one has been identified.

I saw several error messages.

They cause autofs to become quite confused and don't really point to the
actual problem.

Things like:

handle_packet_missing_direct:1376: can't find map entry for (43,1827932)

which is usually totally fatal (although in this case it wouldn't be
except that I treat is as such because it normally is).

do_mount_direct: direct trigger not valid or already mounted
/test/nested/g3c/s1/ss1

which is recoverable, however if this problem is at play it can cause
autofs to become quite confused as to the dependencies in the mount tree
because mount triggers end up mounted multiple times.  It's hard to
accurately check for this over mounting case and automount shouldn't need
to if the kernel module is doing its job.

There was one other message, similar in consequence of this last one but I
can't locate a log example just now.

When checking if a mount has already completed prior to adding a new mount
request to the wait queue we check if the dentry is hashed and, if so, if
it is a mount point.  But, if a mount successfully completed while we
slept on the wait queue mutex the dentry must exist for the mount to have
completed so the test is not really needed.

Mounts can also be done on top of a global root dentry, so for the above
case, where a mount request completes and the wait queue entry has already
been removed, the hashed test returning false can cause an incorrect
callback to the daemon.  Also, d_mountpoint() is not sufficient to check
if a mount has completed for the multi-mount case when we don't have a
real mount at the base of the tree.

Michael Tokarev reported receiving a large packet could crash
a machine with RTL8169 NIC.
( original thread at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/8/192 )

Problem is this driver tells that NIC frames up to 16383 bytes
can be received but provides skb to rx ring allocated with
smaller sizes (1536 bytes in case standard 1500 bytes MTU is used)

When a frame larger than what was allocated by driver is received,
dma transfert can occurs past the end of buffer and corrupt
kernel memory.

Fix is to tell to NIC what is the maximum size a frame can be.

This bug is very old, (before git introduction, linux-2.6.10), and 
should be backported to stable versions.

md has functionality to 'quiesce' and array so that all pending
IO completed and no new IO starts.  This is used to achieve a
stable state before making internal changes.

Currently this quiescing applies equally to normal IO, resync
IO, and reshape IO.
However there is a problem with applying it to reshape IO.
Reshape can have multiple 'stripe_heads' that must be active together.
If the quiesce come between allocating the first and the last of
such a collection, then we deadlock, as the last will not be allocated
until the quiesce is lifted, the quiesce will not be lifted until the
first (which has been allocated) gets used, and that first cannot be
used until the last is allocated.

It is not necessary to inhibit reshape IO when a quiesce is
requested.  Those places in the code that require a full quiesce will
ensure the reshape thread is not running at all.

So allow reshape requests to get access to new stripe_heads without
being blocked by a 'quiesce'.

This only affects in-place reshapes (i.e. where the array does not
grow or shrink) and these are only newly supported.  So this patch is
not needed in earlier kernels.

mddev->raid_disks can be changed and any time by a request from
user-space.  It is a suggestion as to what number of raid_disks is
desired.

conf->raid_disks can only be changed by the raid5 module with suitable
locks in place.  It is a statement as to the current number of
raid_disks.

There are two places where the latter should be used, but the former
is used.  This can lead to a crash when reshaping an array.

This patch changes to mddev-> to conf->

Our async work synchronization was broken by "async: make sure
independent async domains can't accidentally entangle" (commit
d5a877e8), because it would report
the wrong lowest active async ID when there was both running and
pending async work.

This caused things like no being able to read the root filesystem,
resulting in missing console devices and inability to run 'init',
causing a boot-time panic.

This fixes it by properly returning the lowest pending async ID: if
there is any running async work, that will have a lower ID than any
pending work, and we should _not_ look at the pending work list.

There were alternative patches from Jaswinder and James, but this one
also cleans up the code by removing the pointless 'ret' variable and
the unnecesary testing for an empty list around 'for_each_entry()' (if
the list is empty, the for_each_entry() thing just won't execute).
