Fix possible assertion failure in journal_commit_transaction() on jh->b_next_transaction == NULL (when we are processing BJ_Forget list and buffer is not jbddirty). !jbddirty buffers can be placed on BJ_Forget list for example by journal_forget() or by __dispose_buffer() - generally such buffer means that it has been freed by this transaction. Freed buffers should not be reallocated until the transaction has committed (that's why we have the assertion there) but they *can* be reallocated when the transaction has already been committed to disk and we are just processing the BJ_Forget list (as soon as we remove b_committed_data from the bitmap bh, ext3 will be able to reallocate buffers freed by the committing transaction). So we have to also count with the case that the buffer has been reallocated and b_next_transaction has been already set. And one more subtle point: it can happen that we manage to reallocate the buffer and also mark it jbddirty. Then we also add the freed buffer to the checkpoint list of the committing trasaction. But that should do no harm. Non-jbddirty buffers should be filed to BJ_Reserved and not BJ_Metadata list. It can actually happen that we refile such buffers during the commit phase when we reallocate in the running transaction blocks deleted in committing transaction (and that can happen if the committing transaction already wrote all the data and is just cleaning up BJ_Forget list).

After a lot of reading the code and thinking about how it behaves I have managed to figure out what the current ptrace locking rules are. The current code is in much better that it appears at first glance. The troublesome code paths are actually the code paths that violate the current rules. ptrace uses simple exclusive access as it's locking. You can only touch task->ptrace if the task is stopped and you are the ptracer, or if the task is running and are the task itself. Very simple, very easy to maintain. It just needs to be documented so people know not to touch ptrace from elsewhere. Currently we do have a few pieces of code that are in violation of this rule. Particularly the core dump code, and ptrace_attach. But so far the code looks fixable. Signed-off-by:

The "count" and "pt" variables are declared and modified by do_poll(), as well as accessed and written indirectly in the do_pollfd() subroutine. This patch pulls all handling of these variables into the do_poll() function, thereby eliminating the odd use of indirection in do_pollfd(). This is done by pulling the "struct pollfd" traversal loop from do_pollfd() into its only caller do_poll(). As an added bonus, the patch saves a few clock cycles, and also adds comments to make the code easier to follow. Signed-off-by:

Pass the POSIX lock owner ID to the flush operation. This is useful for filesystems which don't want to store any locking state in inode->i_flock but want to handle locking/unlocking POSIX locks internally. FUSE is one such filesystem but I think it possible that some network filesystems would need this also. Also add a flag to indicate that a POSIX locking request was generated by close(), so filesystems using the above feature won't send an extra locking request in this case. Signed-off-by:

locks_remove_posix() can use posix_lock_file() instead of doing the lock removal by hand. posix_lock_file() now does exacly the same. The comment about pids no longer applies, posix_lock_file() takes only the owner into account. Signed-off-by:

posix_lock_file() always allocates new locks in advance, even if it's easy to determine that no allocations will be needed. Optimize these cases: - FL_ACCESS flag is set - Unlocking the whole range Signed-off-by:

Miklos Szeredi authored
posix_lock_file() was too cautious, failing operations on OOM, even if they didn't actually require an allocation. This has the disadvantage, that a failing unlock on process exit could lead to a memory leak. There are two possibilites for this: - filesystem implements .lock() and calls back to posix_lock_file(). On cleanup of files_struct locks_remove_posix() is called which should remove all locks belonging to files_struct. However if filesystem calls posix_lock_file() which fails, then those locks will never be freed. - if a file is closed while a lock is blocked, then after acquiring fcntl_setlk() will undo the lock. But this unlock itself might fail on OOM, again possibly leaking the lock. The solution is to move the checking of the allocations until after it is sure that they will be needed. This will solve the above problem since unlock will always succeed unless it splits an existing region. Signed-off-by:

On zSeries machines there exists an interface which allows the operating system to retrieve LPAR hypervisor accounting data. For example, it is possible to get usage data for physical and virtual cpus. In order to provide this information to user space programs, I implemented a new virtual Linux file system named 's390_hypfs' using the Linux 2.6 libfs framework. The name 's390_hypfs' stands for 'S390 Hypervisor Filesystem'. All the accounting information is put into different virtual files which can be accessed from user space. All data is represented as ASCII strings. When the file system is mounted the accounting information is retrieved and a file system tree is created with the attribute files containing the cpu information. The content of the files remains unchanged until a new update is made. An update can be triggered from user space through writing 'something' into a special purpose update file. We create the following directory structure: <mount-point>/ update cpus/ <cpu-id> type mgmtime <cpu-id> ... hyp/ type systems/ <lpar-name> cpus/ <cpu-id> type mgmtime cputime onlinetime <cpu-id> ... <lpar-name> cpus/ ... - update: File to trigger update - cpus/: Directory for all physical cpus - cpus/<cpu-id>/: Directory for one physical cpu. - cpus/<cpu-id>/type: Type name of physical zSeries cpu. - cpus/<cpu-id>/mgmtime: Physical-LPAR-management time in microseconds. - hyp/: Directory for hypervisor information - hyp/type: Typ of hypervisor (currently only 'LPAR Hypervisor') - systems/: Directory for all LPARs - systems/<lpar-name>/: Directory for one LPAR. - systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/: Directory for the virtual cpus - systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/type: Typ of cpu. - systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/mgmtime: Accumulated number of microseconds during which a physical CPU was assigned to the logical cpu and the cpu time was consumed by the hypervisor and was not provided to the LPAR (LPAR overhead). - systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/cputime: Accumulated number of microseconds during which a physical CPU was assigned to the logical cpu and the cpu time was consumed by the LPAR. - systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/onlinetime: Accumulated number of microseconds during which the logical CPU has been online. As mount point for the filesystem /sys/hypervisor/s390 is created. The update process is triggered when writing 'something' into the 'update' file at the top level hypfs directory. You can do this e.g. with 'echo 1 > update'. During the update the whole directory structure is deleted and built up again.
