Ron Mercer a303ce0972 qlge: Fix sparse endian warning for inbound packet control block flags.
Changed flags element from __le32 to 3 reserved bytes and one byte of
flags.  Changed flags bit definitions to reflect byte width instead of
__le32 width.

New nodes are inserted in u32_change() under rtnl_lock() with wmb(),

When CONFIG_PROC_FS is unset, include/linux/interrupt.h defines

Heiko Carstens f1d3e4dca3 iucv: fix cpu hotplug
If the iucv module is compiled in/loaded but no user is registered cpu
hot remove doesn't work. Reason for that is that the iucv cpu hotplug
notifier on CPU_DOWN_PREPARE checks if the iucv_buffer_cpumask would
be empty after the corresponding bit would be cleared. However the bit
was never set since iucv wasn't enable. That causes all cpu hot unplug
operations to fail in this scenario.
To fix this use iucv_path_table as an indicator wether iucv is enabled
or not.

The flags field of struct ehea_port is only used with test_bit(),
clear_bit() and set_bit() and these interfaces only work on
"unsigned long"s, so change the field to be an "unsigned long".  Also,
this field only has two bits defined for it (0 and 1) so will still be
fine if someone builds this driver for a 32 bit arch (at least as far as
this flags field is concerned).

Also note that ehea_driver_flags is only used in ehca_main.c, so make it

Michael Kerrisk 4ae8978cf9 inotify: fix type errors in interfaces
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().

Christoph Hellwig 4c728ef583 add a vfs_fsync helper
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]

Alain Knaff 5b6f1eb97d vfs: lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR) race condition
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.

Sunil Mushran 7b791d6856 ocfs2/dlm: Fix race during lockres mastery
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:

Sunil Mushran d4f7e650e5 ocfs2/dlm: Hold off sending lockres drop ref message while lockres is migrating
During lockres purge, o2dlm sends a drop reference message to the lockres
master. This patch delays the message if the lockres is being migrated.

Sunil Mushran 57dff2676e ocfs2/dlm: Clean up errors in dlm_proxy_ast_handler()
Patch cleans printed errors in dlm_proxy_ast_handler(). The errors now includes
the node number that sent the (b)ast. Also it reduces the number of endian swaps
of the cookie.

Sunil Mushran 2b83256407 ocfs2/dlm: Fix a race between migrate request and exit domain
Patch address a racing migrate request message and an exit domain message.
Instead of blocking exit domains for the duration of the migrate, we ignore
failure to deliver that message. This is because an exiting domain should
not have any active locks and thus has no role to play in the migration.

Joel Becker 58896c4d0e ocfs2: One more hamming code optimization.
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.

Joel Becker 7bb458a585 ocfs2: Another hamming code optimization.
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.

Joel Becker e798b3f8a9 ocfs2: Don't hand-code xor in ocfs2_hamming_encode().
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).
