Mingming Cao 1c2bf374a4 [PATCH] ext3_fsblk_t: filesystem, group blocks and bug fixes
Some of the in-kernel ext3 block variable type are treated as signed 4 bytes
int type, thus limited ext3 filesystem to 8TB (4kblock size based).  While
trying to fix them, it seems quite confusing in the ext3 code where some
blocks are filesystem-wide blocks, some are group relative offsets that need
to be signed value (as -1 has special meaning).  So it seem saner to define
two types of physical blocks: one is filesystem wide blocks, another is
group-relative blocks.  The following patches clarify these two types of
blocks in the ext3 code, and fix the type bugs which limit current 32 bit ext3
filesystem limit to 8TB.

With this series of patches and the percpu counter data type changes in the mm
tree, we are able to extend exts filesystem limit to 16TB.

This work is also a pre-request for the recent >32 bit ext3 work, and makes
the kernel to able to address 48 bit ext3 block a lot easier: Simply redefine
ext3_fsblk_t from unsigned long to sector_t and redefine the format string for
ext3 filesystem block corresponding.

Two RFC with a series patches have been posted to ext2-devel list and have
been reviewed and discussed:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114722190816690&w=2

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114784919525942&w=2

Patches are tested on both 32 bit machine and 64 bit machine, <8TB ext3 and
>8TB ext3 filesystem(with the latest to be released e2fsprogs-1.39).  Tests
includes overnight fsx, tiobench, dbench and fsstress.

This patch:

Defines ext3_fsblk_t and ext3_grpblk_t, and the printk format string for
filesystem wide blocks.

This patch classifies all block group relative blocks, and ext3_fsblk_t blocks
occurs in the same function where used to be confusing before.  Also include
kernel bug fixes for filesystem wide in-kernel block variables.  There are
some fileystem wide blocks are treated as int/unsigned int type in the kernel
currently, especially in ext3 block allocation and reservation code.  This
patch fixed those bugs by converting those variables to ext3_fsblk_t(unsigned
long) type.

NeilBrown 7c12d81134 [PATCH] Make copy_from_user_inatomic NOT zero the tail on i386
As described in a previous patch and documented in mm/filemap.h,
copy_from_user_inatomic* shouldn't zero out the tail of the buffer after an
incomplete copy.

This patch implements that change for i386.

For the _nocache version, a new __copy_user_intel_nocache is defined similar
to copy_user_zeroio_intel_nocache, and this is ultimately used for the copy.

For the regular version, __copy_from_user_ll_nozero is defined which uses
__copy_user and __copy_user_intel - the later needs casts to reposition the
__user annotations.

If copy_from_user_atomic is given a constant length of 1, 2, or 4, then we do
still zero the destintion on failure.  This didn't seem worth the effort of
fixing as the places where it is used really don't care.

NeilBrown 01408c4939 [PATCH] Prepare for __copy_from_user_inatomic to not zero missed bytes
The problem is that when we write to a file, the copy from userspace to
pagecache is first done with preemption disabled, so if the source address is
not immediately available the copy fails *and* *zeros* *the* *destination*.

This is a problem because a concurrent read (which admittedly is an odd thing
to do) might see zeros rather that was there before the write, or what was
there after, or some mixture of the two (any of these being a reasonable thing
to see).

If the copy did fail, it will immediately be retried with preemption
re-enabled so any transient problem with accessing the source won't cause an
error.

The first copying does not need to zero any uncopied bytes, and doing so
causes the problem.  It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than copy_from_user
so the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic to *not* zero out
bytes on failure.

The first of these two patches prepares for the change by fixing two places
which assume copy_from_user_atomic does zero the tail.  The two usages are
very similar pieces of code which copy from a userspace iovec into one or more
page-cache pages.  These are changed to remove the assumption.

The second patch changes __copy_from_user_inatomic* to not zero the tail.
Once these are accepted, I will look at similar patches of other architectures
where this is important (ppc, mips and sparc being the ones I can find).

This patch:

There is a problem with __copy_from_user_inatomic zeroing the tail of the
buffer in the case of an error.  As it is called in atomic context, the error
may be transient, so it results in zeros being written where maybe they
shouldn't be.

In the usage in filemap, this opens a window for a well timed read to see data
(zeros) which is not consistent with any ordering of reads and writes.

Most cases where __copy_from_user_inatomic is called, a failure results in
__copy_from_user being called immediately.  As long as the latter zeros the
tail, the former doesn't need to.  However in *copy_from_user_iovec
implementations (in both filemap and ntfs/file), it is assumed that
copy_from_user_inatomic will zero the tail.

This patch removes that assumption, so that after this patch it will
be safe for copy_from_user_inatomic to not zero the tail.

This patch also adds some commentary to filemap.h and asm-i386/uaccess.h.

After this patch, all architectures that might disable preempt when
kmap_atomic is called need to have their __copy_from_user_inatomic* "fixed".
This includes
 - powerpc
 - i386
 - mips
 - sparc

Rework it so that we do one 8192-byte allocation and then a pile of tiny ones,

current VM).

This also has the effect of reducing the memory requirements from NR_CPUS*n to

"Section" data (contents) are split from the section header

Currently the data/contents begins with a space and is left that way, which
causes it to look bad when printed (in text mode; see example below), so
just remove the leading space.

Note:

list_empty on entry does not return true after this, the entry is in an

get lost as well: the writeback timer is supposed to be re-armed by pdflush in
process context, but pdflush doesn't execute the callout which does this.

Alan Cox dbe217af3b [PATCH] IDE CD end-of media error fix
This is a patch from Alan that fixes a real ide-cd.c regression causing
bogus "Media Check" failures for perfectly valid Fedora install ISOs, on
certain CD-ROM drives.

This is a forward port to 2.6.16 (from RHEL) of the minimal changes for the
end of media problem.  It may not be sufficient for some controllers
(promise notably) and it does not touch the locking so the error path
locking is as horked as in mainstream.

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

I have ported the patch to 2.6.17-rc4 and tested it by provoking
end-of-media IO errors with an unaligned ISO image.  Unlike the vanilla
kernel, the patched kernel interpreted the error condition correctly with
512 byte granularity:

 hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
 hdc: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }
 ide: failed opcode was: unknown
 ATAPI device hdc:
   Error: Illegal request -- (Sense key=0x05)
   Illegal mode for this track or incompatible medium -- (asc=0x64, ascq=0x00)
   The failed "Read 10" packet command was:
   "28 00 00 04 fb 78 00 00 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "
 end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 1306080
 Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 163260
 Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 163261
 Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 163262

the unpatched kernel produces an incorrect error dump:

 hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
 hdc: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }
 ide: failed opcode was: unknown
 end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 1306080
 Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 163260
 hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
 hdc: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }
 ide: failed opcode was: unknown
 end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 1306088
 Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 163261
 hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
 hdc: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }
 ide: failed opcode was: unknown
 end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 1306096
 Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 163262

I do not have the right type of CD-ROM drive to reproduce the end-of-media
data corruption bug myself, but this same patch in RHEL solved it.

Michael Ellerman 76a8ad2939 [PATCH] Make printk work for really early debugging
Currently printk is no use for early debugging because it refuses to
actually print anything to the console unless
cpu_online(smp_processor_id()) is true.

The stated explanation is that console drivers may require per-cpu
resources, or otherwise barf, because the system is not yet setup
correctly.  Fair enough.

However some console drivers might be quite happy running early during
boot, in fact we have one, and so it'd be nice if printk understood that.

So I added a flag (which I would have called CON_BOOT, but that's taken)
called CON_ANYTIME, which indicates that a console is happy to be called
anytime, even if the cpu is not yet online.

Tested on a Power 5 machine, with both a CON_ANYTIME driver and a bogus
console driver that BUG()s if called while offline.  No problems AFAICT.
Built for i386 UP & SMP.

Deepak Saxena 8ae6e163c1 [PATCH] Add driver for ARM AMBA PL031 RTC
Add a driver for the ARM PL031 RTC found on some ARM SOCs.  The driver is
fairly trivial as the RTC only provides a read/write and alarm capability.

Daniel Walker dcd9637961 [PATCH] idetape gcc 4.1 warning fix
In both the read and write cases it will return an error if
copy_{from/to}_user faults.  However, I let the driver try to read/write as
much as it can just as it normally would , then finally it returns an error
if there was one.  This was the most straight forward way to handle the
error , since there isn't a clear way to clean up the buffers on error .

I moved retval in idetape_chrdev_write() down into the actual code blocks
since it's really once used there, and it conflicted with my ret variable.

Fixes the following warning,

drivers/ide/ide-tape.c: In function ‘idetape_copy_stage_from_user’:
drivers/ide/ide-tape.c:2662: warning: ignoring return value of ‘copy_from_user’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result

Evgeniy Dushistov ee3ffd6c12 [PATCH] ufs: make fsck -f happy
ufs super block contains some statistic about file systems, like amount of
directories, free blocks, inodes and so on.

UFS1 hold this information in one location and uses 32bit integers for such
information, UFS2 hold statistic in another location and uses 64bit integers.

There is transition variant, if UFS1 has type 44BSD and flags field in super
block has some special value this mean that we work with statistic like UFS2
does.  and this also means that nobody care about old(UFS1) statistic.

So if start fsck against such file system, after usage linux ufs driver, it
found error: at now only UFS1 like statistic is updated.

This patch should fix this.  Also it contains some minor cleanup: CodingSytle
and remove unused variables.

Evgeniy Dushistov 647b7e87b5 [PATCH] ufs: one way to access super block
Super block of UFS usually has size >512, because of fragment size may be 512,
this cause some problems.

Currently, there are two methods to work with ufs super block:

1) split structure which describes ufs super blocks into structures with
   size <=512

2) use one structure which describes ufs super block, and hope that array
   of "buffer_head" which holds "super block", has such construction:

	bh[n]->b_data + bh[n]->b_size == bh[n + 1]->b_data

The second variant may cause some problems in the future, and usage of two
variants cause unnecessary code duplication.

This patch remove the second variant.  Also patch contains some CodingStyle
fixes.
