of nasty outcomes when inodes are transitioned from the unlinked state to the free state. Small file systems are particularly vulnerable to these problems, and it can manifest as mainly hangs, but also file system corruption. The patches have been tested for literally many weeks, with a very gruelling test, so I have a high level of confidence. - Andreas Gruenbacher wrote a series of 5 patches for various lockups during the transition of inodes from unlinked to free. The main patch is titled "Fix gfs2_lookup_by_inum lock inversion" and the other 4 are support and cleanup patches related to that. - Ben Marzinski contributed 2 patches with regard to a recreatable problem when gfs2 tries to write a page to a file that is being truncated, resulting in a BUG() in gfs2_remove_from_journal. Note that Ben had to export vfs function __block_write_full_page to get this to work properly. It's been posted a long time and he talked to various VFS people about it, and nobody seemed to mind. - I contributed 3 patches. (1) The first one fixes a memory corruptor: a race in which one process can overwrite the gl_object pointer set by another process, causing kernel panic and other symptoms. (2) The second patch fixes another race that resulted in a false-positive BUG_ON. This occurred when resource group reservations were freed by one process while another process was trying to grab a new reservation in the same resource group. (3) The third patch fixes a problem with doing journal replay when the journals are not all the same size. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAABAgAGBQJXklXIAAoJENeLYdPf93o7AbIIAImLEixK+4CaItEArAKG9TXv WbO+eDJfo6AOtAteB6+MdX2UxXAHJsCY6RmiEIAi5LzlVFiiCgRo4z/QgDARAw3c 2RxlndElaESh82S27sLiFbgZeY7GZv04C0t6AzMkc830BLXiKMs6bXfeq1fzW8Sf AgAneACVsX0faRWo/XDuQcK81dwZ+qdOnR2+FvtOSFl1KgV0BrtnsW7IHv+5MIot SREDN7VvSQwQrLgwMlC0PvhwK3KCVvuO9ZziLEPpYJONESJfEmuCpG265+tUJNTw dIcW3p/vvgow8fb56fSnAxaeplPLlF9qJCq1M9fWZrKVbHg2uyCZMx4P52Fnmz4= =uUVs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'gfs2-4.7.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2 Pull gfs2 updates from Bob Peterson: "We've got ten patches this time, half of which are related to a plethora of nasty outcomes when inodes are transitioned from the unlinked state to the free state.
