      [PATCH] knfsd: add nfs-export support to tmpfs · 91828a40
      David M. Grimes authored 
      We need to encode a decode the 'file' part of a handle.  We simply use the
inode number and generation number to construct the filehandle.

The generation number is the time when the file was created.  As inode numbers
cycle through the full 32 bits before being reused, there is no real chance of
the same inum being allocated to different files in the same second so this is
suitably unique.  Using time-of-day rather than e.g.  jiffies makes it less
likely that the same filehandle can be created after a reboot.

In order to be able to decode a filehandle we need to be able to lookup by
inum, which means that the inode needs to be added to the inode hash table
(tmpfs doesn't currently hash inodes as there is never a need to lookup by
inum).  To avoid overhead when not exporting, we only hash an inode when it is
first exported.  This requires a lock to ensure it isn't hashed twice.

This code is separate from the patch posted in June06 from Atal Shargorodsky
which provided the same functionality, but does borrow slightly from it.

Locking comment: Most filesystems that hash their inodes do so at the point
where the 'struct inode' is initialised, and that has suitable locking
(I_NEW).  Here in shmem, we are hashing the inode later, the first time we
need an NFS file handle for it.  We no longer have I_NEW to ensure only one
thread tries to add it to the hash table.

      [PATCH] remove carta_random32 · 5c496374
      Andrew Morton authored 
      This library function should be in obj-y and not in lib-y.  But when we do
that it clashes unpleasantly with the assembly-language implementation in the
ia64 architecture.

Instead of trying to fix it all up, just remove the generic carta_random32 in
the expectation that the recently-made-generic random32() will suffice.

If/when perfmon is migrated to random32, ia64's private carta_random32
implementation can also be removed.

      [PATCH] rename net_random to random32 · aaa248f6
      Stephen Hemminger authored 
      Make net_random() more widely available by calling it random32

akpm: hopefully this will permit the removal of carta_random32.  That needs
confirmation from Stephane - this code looks somewhat more computationally
expensive, and has a different (ie: callee-stateful) interface.

      [PATCH] posix-cpu-timers: prevent signal delivery starvation · ac08c264
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      The integer divisions in the timer accounting code can round the result
down to 0.  Adding 0 is without effect and the signal delivery stops.

Clamp the division result to minimum 1 to avoid this.

Problem was reported by Seongbae Park <spark@google.com>, who provided
also an inital patch.

Roland sayeth:

  I have had some more time to think about the problem, and to reproduce it
  using Toyo's test case.  For the record, if my understanding of the problem
  is correct, this happens only in one very particular case.  First, the
  expiry time has to be so soon that in cputime_t units (usually 1s/HZ ticks)
  it's < nthreads so the division yields zero.  Second, it only affects each
  thread that is so new that its CPU time accumulation is zero so now+0 is
  still zero and ->it_*_expires winds up staying zero.  For the VIRT and PROF
  clocks when cputime_t is tick granularity (or the SCHED clock on
  configurations where sched_clock's value only advances on clock ticks), this
  is not hard to arrange with new threads starting up and blocking before they
  accumulate a whole tick of CPU time.  That's what happens in Toyo's test
  case.

  Note that in general it is fine for that division to round down to zero,
  and set each thread's expiry time to its "now" time.  The problem only
  arises with thread's whose "now" value is still zero, so that now+0 winds up
  0 and is interpreted as "not set" instead of ">= now".  So it would be a
  sufficient and more precise fix to just use max(ticks, 1) inside the loop
  when setting each it_*_expires value.

  But, it does no harm to round the division up to one and always advance
  every thread's expiry time.  If the thread didn't already fire timers for
  the expiry time of "now", there is no expectation that it will do so before
  the next tick anyway.  So I followed Thomas's patch in lifting the max out
  of the loops.

  This patch also covers the reload cases, which are harder to write a test
  for (and I didn't try).  I've tested it with Toyo's case and it fixes that.

      [PATCH] invalidate: remove_mapping() fix · a649fd92
      Andrew Morton authored 
      If remove_mapping() failed to remove the page from its mapping, don't go and
mark it not uptodate!  Makes kernel go dead.

(Actually, I don't think the ClearPageUptodate is needed there at all).

Says Nick Piggin:

   "Right, it isn't needed because at this point the page is guaranteed
    by remove_mapping to have no references (except us) and cannot pick
    up any new ones because it is removed from pagecache.

    We can delete it."

      [PATCH] i386 Time: Avoid PIT SMP lockups · 3f4a0b91
      john stultz authored 
      Avoid possible PIT livelock issues seen on SMP systems (and reported by
Andi), by not allowing it as a clocksource on SMP boxes.

However, since the PIT may no longer be present, we have to properly handle
the cases where SMP systems have TSC skew and fall back from the TSC.
Since the PIT isn't there, it would "fall back" to the TSC again.  So this
changes the jiffies rating to 1, and the TSC-bad rating value to 0.

Thus you will get the following behavior priority on i386 systems:

tsc		[if present & stable]
hpet		[if present]
cyclone		[if present]
acpi_pm		[if present]
pit		[if UP]
jiffies

Rather then the current more complicated:
tsc		[if present & stable]
hpet		[if present]
cyclone		[if present]
acpi_pm		[if present]
pit		[if cpus < 4]
tsc		[if present & unstable]
jiffies

      [PATCH] lockdep: increase max allowed recursion depth · ca268c69
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      In general, lockdep warnings are intended to be non-fatal, so I have put in
various practical limits on internal data structure failure modes.  We haven't
had a /single/ lockdep-internal crash ever since lockdep went upstream [the
unwinder crashes are outside of lockdep], and that's largely due to the good
internal checks it does.

Recursion within the dependency graph is currently limited to 20, that's
probably not enough on some many-CPU boxes - this patch doubles it to 40.  I
have written the lockdep functions to have as small stackframes as possible,
so 40 should be OK too.  (The practical recursion limit should be somewhere
between 100 and 200 entries.  If we hit that then I'll change the algorithm to
be iteration-based.  Graph walking logic is so easy to program via recursion,
so i'd like to keep recursion as long as possible.)

      [PATCH] ioc4: Enable build on non-SN2 · 59f14800
      Brent Casavant authored 
      The SGI PCI-RT card, based on the SGI IOC4 chip, will be made available on
Altix XE (x86_64) platforms in the near future.  As such it is now a
misnomer for the IOC4 base device driver to live under drivers/sn, and
would complicate builds for non-SN2.

This patch moves the IOC4 base driver code from drivers/sn to drivers/misc,
and updates the associated Makefiles and Kconfig files to allow building on
non-SN2 configs.  Due to the resulting change in link order, it is now
necessary to use late_initcall() for IOC4 subdriver initialization.
