Currently, devpts doesn't generate an fsnotify event upon pts creation because the regular vfs paths aren't involved. Deallocation, on the other hand, correctly generates a nameremove event thanks to the d_delete() invocation in devpts_pty_kill(). This patch adds the missing fsnotify_create() trigger in devpts_pty_new(). Signed-off-by:

Constant folding does not work for the swabXX() byte swapping functions, and the C versions optimize poorly. Attempting to initialize a global variable to swab16(0x1234) or put something like "case swab32(42):" in a switch statement will not compile. It can work, swab.h just isn't doing it correctly. This patch fixes that. Contrary to the comment in asm-i386/byteorder.h, gcc does not recognize the "C" version of swab16 and turn it into efficient code. gcc can do this, just not with the current code. The simple function: u16 foo(u16 x) { return swab16(x); } Would compile to: movzwl %ax, %eax movl %eax, %edx shrl $8, %eax sall $8, %edx orl %eax, %edx With this patch, it will compile to: rolw $8, %ax I also attempted to document the maze different macros/inline functions that are used to create the final product.

Convert over to the new NMI handling for getting IPMI watchdog timeouts via an NMI. This add config options to know if there is the ability to receive NMIs and if it has an NMI post processing call. Then it modifies the IPMI watchdog to take advantage of this so that it can know if an NMI comes in. It also adds testing that the IPMI NMI watchdog works. Signed-off-by:

The IPMI driver used enable_irq and disable_irq when it got into situations where it couldn't allocate memory; it did this to avoid having the interrupt just lock the machine when it couldn't get memory to perform the transaction to disable the interrupt. This patch modifies the driver to not use disable_irq and enable_irq. It instead sends the messages to the BMC to perform this operation. It also makes sure interrupts are cleanly disabled when the interface is shut down and cleans up some shutdown things that are no longer necessary. Signed-off-by:

Teach the dentry slab shrinker to aggressively shrink parent dentries when shrinking the dentry cache. This is done to attempt to improve the situation where the dentry slab cache gets a lot of internal fragmentation due to pages containing directory dentries. It is expected that this change will cause some of those dentries to be reaped earlier, and with less scanning. Needs careful testing. Cc: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by:

The time shrink_dcache_parent() takes, grows quadratically with the depth of the tree under 'parent'. This starts to get noticable at about 10,000. These kinds of depths don't occur normally, and filesystems which invoke shrink_dcache_parent() via d_invalidate() seem to have other depth dependent timings, so it's not even easy to expose this problem. However with FUSE it's easy to create a deep tree and d_invalidate() will also get called. This can make a syscall hang for a very long time. This is the original discovery of the problem by Russ Cox: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.fuse.devel/3826 The following patch fixes the quadratic behavior, by optionally allowing prune_dcache() to prune ancestors of a dentry in one go, instead of doing it one at a time. Common code in dput() and prune_one_dentry() is extracted into a new helper function d_kill(). shrink_dcache_parent() as well as shrink_dcache_sb() are converted to use the ancestry-pruner option. Only for shrink_dcache_memory() is this behavior not desirable, so it keeps using the old algorithm. Signed-off-by:

This past week I was playing around with that pahole tool (http://oops.ghostprotocols.net:81/acme/dwarves/) and looking at the size of various struct in the kernel. I was surprised by the size of the task_struct on x86_64, approaching 4K. I looked through the fields in task_struct and found that a number of them were declared as "unsigned long" rather than "unsigned int" despite them appearing okay as 32-bit sized fields. On x86_64 "unsigned long" ends up being 8 bytes in size and forces 8 byte alignment. Is there a reason there a reason they are "unsigned long"? The patch below drops the size of the struct from 3808 bytes (60 64-byte cachelines) to 3760 bytes (59 64-byte cachelines). A couple other fields in the task struct take a signficant amount of space: struct thread_struct thread; 688 struct held_lock held_locks[30]; 1680 CONFIG_LOCKDEP is turned on in the .config [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix printk warnings] Cc: <linux-arch@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by:

Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5079 signed long ranges from -2.147.483.648 to 2.147.483.647 on x86 32bit 10000011110110100100111110111101 .. -2,082,844,739 10000011110110100100111110111101 .. 2,212,122,557 <- this currently gets stored on the disk but when converting it to a 64bit signed long value it loses its sign and becomes positive. Cc: Andreas Dilger <adilger@dilger.ca> Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Andreas says: This patch is now treating timestamps with the high bit set as negative times (before Jan 1, 1970). This means we lose 1/2 of the possible range of timestamps (lopping off 68 years before unix timestamp overflow - now only 30 years away :-) to handle the extremely rare case of setting timestamps into the distant past. If we are only interested in fixing the underflow case, we could just limit the values to 0 instead of storing negative values. At worst this will skew the timestamp by a few hours for timezones in the far east (files would still show Jan 1, 1970 in "ls -l" output). That said, it seems 32-bit systems (mine at least) allow files to be set into the past (01/01/1907 works fine) so it seems this patch is bringing the x86_64 behaviour into sync with other kernels. On the plus side, we have a patch that is ready to add nanosecond timestamps to ext3 and as an added bonus adds 2 high bits to the on-disk timestamp so this extends the maximum date to 2242.

Alberto Bertogli authored
This patch allows hostfs_setattr() to work on unlinked open files by calling set_attr() (the userspace part) with the inode's fd. Without this, applications that depend on doing attribute changes to unlinked open files will fail. It works by using the fd versions instead of the path ones (for example fchmod() instead of chmod(), fchown() instead of chown()) when an fd is available. Signed-off-by:

This patch is add white list into modpost.c for some functions and ia64's section to fix section mismatchs. sparse_index_alloc() and zone_wait_table_init() calls bootmem allocator at boot time, and kmalloc/vmalloc at hotplug time. If config memory hotplug is on, there are references of bootmem allocater(init text) from them (normal text). This is cause of section mismatch. Bootmem is called by many functions and it must be used only at boot time. I think __init of them should keep for section mismatch check. So, I would like to register sparse_index_alloc() and zone_wait_table_init() into white list. In addition, ia64's .machvec section is function table of some platform dependent code. It is mixture of .init.text and normal text. These reference of __init functions are valid too. Signed-off-by:

There are two problems with the existing redzone implementation. Firstly, it's causing misalignment of structures which contain a 64-bit integer, such as netfilter's 'struct ipt_entry' -- causing netfilter modules to fail to load because of the misalignment. (In particular, the first check in net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c::check_entry_size_and_hooks()) On ppc32 and sparc32, amongst others, __alignof__(uint64_t) == 8. With slab debugging, we use 32-bit redzones. And allocated slab objects aren't sufficiently aligned to hold a structure containing a uint64_t. By _just_ setting ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to __alignof__(u64) we'd disable redzone checks on those architectures. By using 64-bit redzones we avoid that loss of debugging, and also fix the other problem while we're at it. When investigating this, I noticed that on 64-bit platforms we're using a 32-bit value of RED_ACTIVE/RED_INACTIVE in the 64-bit memory location set aside for the redzone. Which means that the four bytes immediately before or after the allocated object at 0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00 for LE and BE machines, respectively. Which is probably not the most useful choice of poison value. One way to fix both of those at once is just to switch to 64-bit redzones in all cases. Signed-off-by:
