Zachary Amsden 3908fd2ed9 [PATCH] softirq: remove BUG_ONs which can incorrectly trigger
It is possible to have tasklets get scheduled before softirqd has had a chance
to spawn on all CPUs.  This is totally harmless; after success during action
CPU_UP_PREPARE, action CPU_ONLINE will be called, which immediately wakes
softirqd on the appropriate CPU to process the already pending tasklets.  So
there is no danger of having a missed wakeup for any tasklets that were
already pending.

In particular, i386 is affected by this during startup, and is visible when
using a very large initrd; during the time it takes for the initrd to be
decompressed, a timer IRQ can come in and schedule RCU callbacks.  It is also
possible that resending of a hardware IRQ via a softirq triggers the same bug.

Because of different timing conditions, this shows up in all emulators and
virtual machines tested, including Xen, VMware, Virtual PC, and Qemu.  It is
also possible to trigger on native hardware with a large enough initrd,
although I don't have a reliable case demonstrating that.

Jiri Kosina c949d4eb40 [PATCH] autofs: fix error code path in autofs_fill_sb()
When kernel is compiled with old version of autofs (CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS), and
new (observed at least with 5.x.x) automount deamon is started, kernel
correctly reports incompatible version of kernel and userland daemon, but
then screws things up instead of correct handling of the error:

 autofs: kernel does not match daemon version
 =====================================
 [ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
 -------------------------------------
 automount/4199 is trying to release lock (&type->s_umount_key) at:
 [<c0163b9e>] get_sb_nodev+0x76/0xa4
 but there are no more locks to release!

 other info that might help us debug this:
 no locks held by automount/4199.

 Leftover inexact backtrace:
  =======================

and then deadlock comes.

The problem: autofs_fill_super() returns EINVAL to get_sb_nodev(), but
before that, it calls kill_anon_super() to destroy the superblock which
won't be needed.  This is however way too soon to call kill_anon_super(),
because get_sb_nodev() has to perform its own cleanup of the superblock
first (deactivate_super(), etc.).  The correct time to call
kill_anon_super() is in the autofs_kill_sb() callback, which is called by
deactivate_super() at proper time, when the superblock is ready to be
killed.

I can see the same faulty codepath also in autofs4.  This patch solves
issues in both filesystems in a same way - it postpones the
kill_anon_super() until the proper time is signalized by deactivate_super()
calling the kill_sb() callback.

Hisashi Hifumi 126039256c [PATCH] jbd2: wait for already submitted t_sync_datalist buffer to complete
In the current jbd code, if a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is dirty and not
locked, the buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list, submitted to the IO and
waited for IO completion.

But the fsstress test showed the case that when a buffer was already
submitted to the IO just before the buffer_dirty(bh) check, the buffer was
not waited for IO completion.

Following patch solves this problem.  If it is assumed that a buffer is
submitted to the IO before the buffer_dirty(bh) check and still being
written to disk, this buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list.

BP, Praveen bd9b0bac6f [PATCH] sysctl: string length calculated is wrong if it contains negative numbers
In the functions do_proc_dointvec() and do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(),
there seems to be a bug in string length calculation if string contains
negative integer.

The console log given below explains the bug. Setting negative values
may not be a right thing to do for "console log level" but then the test
(given below) can be used to demonstrate the bug in the code.

# echo "-1 -1 -1 -123456" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk
-1      -1      -1      -1234
#
# echo "-1 -1 -1 123456" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk
-1      -1      -1      1234
#

(akpm: the bug is that 123456 gets truncated)

It works as expected if string contains all +ve integers

# echo "1 2 3 4" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk
1       2       3       4
#

The patch given below fixes the issue.

Eric Dumazet 83b7b44e1c [PATCH] fs: reorder some 'struct inode' fields to speedup i_size manipulations
On 32bits SMP platforms, 64bits i_size is protected by a seqcount
(i_size_seqcount).

When i_size is read or written, i_size_seqcount is read/written as well, so
it make sense to group these two fields together in the same cache line.

This patch moves i_size_seqcount next to i_size, and also moves i_version
to let offsetof(struct inode, i_size) being 0x40 instead of 0x3c (for
32bits platforms).

For 64 bits platforms, i_size_seqcount doesnt exist, and the move of a
'long i_version' should not introduce a new hole because of padding.

Be more careful about function pointer args:
look for "(...*" instead of just "(".

This line in include/linux/input.h fools the current kernel-doc script
into deciding that this is a function pointer:

	unsigned long ffbit[NBITS(FF_MAX)];

Eric Dumazet 304e61e6fb [PATCH] net: don't insert socket dentries into dentry_hashtable
We currently insert socket dentries into the global dentry hashtable.  This
is suboptimal because there is currently no way these entries can be used
for a lookup().  (/proc/xxx/fd/xxx uses a different mechanism).  Inserting
them in dentry hashtable slows dcache lookups.

To let __dpath() still work correctly (ie not adding a " (deleted)") after
dentry name, we do :

- Right after d_alloc(), pretend they are hashed by clearing the
  DCACHE_UNHASHED bit.

- Call d_instantiate() instead of d_add() : dentry is not inserted in
  hash table.

  __dpath() & friends work as intended during dentry lifetime.

- At dismantle time, once dput() must clear the dentry, setting again
  DCACHE_UNHASHED bit inside the custom d_delete() function provided by
  socket code, so that dput() can just kill_it.

Eric Dumazet b3423415fb [PATCH] dcache: avoid RCU for never-hashed dentries
Some dentries don't need to be globally visible in dentry hashtable.
(pipes & sockets)

Such dentries dont need to wait for a RCU grace period at delete time.
Being able to free them permits a better CPU cache use (hot cache)

This patch combined with (dont insert pipe dentries into dentry_hashtable)
reduced time of { pipe(p); close(p[0]); close(p[1]);} on my UP machine (1.6
GHz Pentium-M) from 3.23 us to 2.86 us (But this patch does not depend on
other patches, only bench results)

Eric Dumazet 1c69d921ed [PATCH] rcu: add a prefetch() in rcu_do_batch()
On some workloads, (for example when lot of close() syscalls are done), RCU
qlen can be quite large, and RCU heads are no longer in cpu cache when
rcu_do_batch() is called.

This patch adds a prefetch() in rcu_do_batch() to give CPU a hint to bring
back cache lines containing 'struct rcu_head's.

Most list manipulations macros include prefetch(), but not open coded ones
(at least with current C compilers :) )

I got a nice speedup on a trivial benchmark (3.48 us per iteration instead
of 3.95 us on a 1.6 GHz Pentium-M)

while (1) { pipe(p); close(fd[0]); close(fd[1]);}

David Brownell db68b189f4 [PATCH] add rtc-omap driver
This creates a new RTC-framework driver for the RTC/calendar module found
in various OMAP1 chips.  (OMAP2 and OMAP3 use external RTCs, like those in
TI's multifunction PM companion chips.) It's been in the Linux-OMAP tree
for several months now, and other trees before that, so it's quite stable.
The most notable issue is that the OMAP IRQ code doesn't yet support the
RTC IRQ as a wakeup event.  Once that's fixed, a patch will be needed.
