The problems lie in the types used for some inotify interfaces, both at the kernel level and at the glibc level. This mail addresses the kernel problem. I will follow up with some suggestions for glibc changes.

For the sys_inotify_rm_watch() interface, the type of the 'wd' argument is
currently 'u32', it should be '__s32' .  That is Robert's suggestion, and
is consistent with the other declarations of watch descriptors in the
kernel source, in particular, the inotify_event structure in
include/linux/inotify.h:

struct inotify_event {
        __s32           wd;             /* watch descriptor */
        __u32           mask;           /* watch mask */
        __u32           cookie;         /* cookie to synchronize two events */
        __u32           len;            /* length (including nulls) of name */
        char            name[0];        /* stub for possible name */
};

The patch makes the changes needed for inotify_rm_watch().

Fsync currently has a fdatawrite/fdatawait pair around the method call,
and a mutex_lock/unlock of the inode mutex.  All callers of fsync have
to duplicate this, but we have a few and most of them don't quite get
it right.  This patch adds a new vfs_fsync that takes care of this.
It's a little more complicated as usual as ->fsync might get a NULL file
pointer and just a dentry from nfsd, but otherwise gets afile and we
want to take the mapping and file operations from it when it is there.

Notes on the fsync callers:

 - ecryptfs wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the
   	lower file
 - coda wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the host
	file, and returning 0 when ->fsync was missing
 - shm wasn't calling either filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait nor
   taking i_mutex.  Now given that shared memory doesn't have disk
   backing not doing anything in fsync seems fine and I left it out of
   the vfs_fsync conversion for now, but in that case we might just
   not pass it through to the lower file at all but just call the no-op
   simple_sync_file directly.

[and now actually export vfs_fsync]

This patch fixes a race condition in lseek. While it is expected that
unpredictable behaviour may result while repositioning the offset of a
file descriptor concurrently with reading/writing to the same file
descriptor, this should not happen when merely *reading* the file
descriptor's offset.

Unfortunately, the only portable way in Unix to read a file
descriptor's offset is lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR); however executing this
concurrently with read/write may mess up the position.

In xattr set, we should always update ctime if the operation goes

which is only called when we set xattr in inode or xattr block. The
side benefit is that it resolve the bug 1052 since in that scenario,
ocfs2_calc_xattr_set_need only calc out the xattr set credits while
ocfs2_xattr_set_entry update the inode also which isn't concerned with

from the worry about the side effect of ocfs2_extend_trans.

dlm_get_lock_resource() is supposed to return a lock resource with a proper
master. If multiple concurrent threads attempt to lookup the lockres for the
same lockid while the lock mastery in underway, one or more threads are likely
to return a lockres without a proper master.

This patch makes the threads wait in dlm_get_lock_resource() while the mastery
is underway, ensuring all threads return the lockres with a proper master.

This issue is known to be limited to users using the flock() syscall. For all
other fs operations, the ocfs2 dlmglue layer serializes the dlm op for each
lockid.

Users encountering this bug will see flock() return EINVAL and dmesg have the
following error:

This patch adds a new lock, dlm->tracking_lock, to protect adding/removing

for the same, but that proved inadequate as we could be freeing a lockres from
a context that did not hold that lock. As the new lock only protects this list,
we can explicitly take it when removing the lockres from the tracking list.

The previous optimization used a fast find-highest-bit-set operation to
give us a good starting point in calc_code_bit().  This version lets the
caller cache the previous code buffer bit offset.  Thus, the next call
always starts where the last one left off.

This reduces the calculation another 39%, for a total 80% reduction from
the original, naive implementation.  At least, on my machine.  This also
brings the parity calculation to within an order of magnitude of the
crc32 calculation.

In the calc_code_bit() function, we must find all powers of two beneath
the code bit number, *after* it's shifted by those powers of two.  This
requires a loop to see where it ends up.

We can optimize it by starting at its most significant bit.  This shaves
32% off the time, for a total of 67.6% shaved off of the original, naive
implementation.

When I wrote ocfs2_hamming_encode(), I was following documentation of
the algorithm and didn't have quite the (possibly still imperfect) grasp
of it I do now.  As part of this, I literally hand-coded xor.  I would
test a bit, and then add that bit via xor to the parity word.

I can, of course, just do a single xor of the parity word and the source
word (the code buffer bit offset).  This cuts CPU usage by 53% on a
mostly populated buffer (an inode containing utmp.h inline).

without requiring a tunefs scan.

This code adds the trailer and validates it when the block is read in.
