'int dev' came out of an 'unsigned char *' - as such, it will not get a negative value. Thanks Valdis. Signed-off-by:

In binfmt_flat.c, the flat binary loader should check file descriptor table and install the fd on the file. Convert the function to single-exit and fix this bug. Signed-off-by:

This patch avoids arithmetic on 'signed' types that are slower than 'unsigned'. This saves space and cpu cycles. size of kernel/sys.o before the patch (gcc-3.4.5) text data bss dec hex filename 10924 252 4 11180 2bac kernel/sys.o size of kernel/sys.o after the patch text data bss dec hex filename 10903 252 4 11159 2b97 kernel/sys.o I noticed that gcc-4.1.0 (from Fedora Core 5) even uses idiv instruction for (a+b)/2 if a and b are signed.

- Moved check for online cpu out of smp_prepare_cpu() - Moved default declaration of smp_prepare_cpu() to kernel/cpu.c - Removed lock_cpu_hotplug() from smp_prepare_cpu() to around it, since its called from cpu_up() as well now. - Removed clearing from cpu_present_map during cpu_offline as it breaks using cpu_up() directly during a subsequent online operation.

Chen, Kenneth W authored
There is a bug in direct-io on propagating write error up to the higher I/O layer. When performing an async ODIRECT write to a block device, if a device error occurred (like media error or disk is pulled), the error code is only propagated from device driver to the DIO layer. The error code stops at finished_one_bio(). The aysnc write, however, is supposedly have a corresponding AIO event with appropriate return code (in this case -EIO). Application which waits on the async write event, will hang forever since such AIO event is lost forever (if such app did not use the timeout option in io_getevents call. Regardless, an AIO event is lost). The discovery of above bug leads to another discovery of potential race window with dio->result. The fundamental problem is that dio->result is overloaded with dual use: an indicator of fall back path for partial dio write, and an error indicator used in the I/O completion path. In the event of device error, the setting of -EIO to dio->result clashes with value used to track partial write that activates the fall back path. It was also pointed out that it is impossible to use dio->result to track partial write and at the same time to track error returned from device driver. Because direct_io_work can only determines whether it is a partial write at the end of io submission and in mid stream of those io submission, a return code could be coming back from the driver. Thus messing up all the subsequent logic. Proposed fix is to separating out error code returned by the IO completion path from partial IO submit tracking. A new variable is added to dio structure specifically to track io error returned in the completion path. Signed-off-by:

As Pekka Enberg pointed out, with the if still following the else, you can still get a null uid written to the disk if you specify a default uid= without uid=forget. In other words, if the desktop user is uid=1000 and the mount option uid=1000 is given ( which is done on ubuntu automatically and probably other distributions that use hal ), then if any other user besides uid 1000 owns a file then a 0 will be written to the media as the owning uid instead.

The "rounded up to nearest power of 2 in size" algorithm in alloc_large_system_hash is not correct. As coded, it takes an otherwise acceptable power-of-2 value and doubles it. For example, we see the error if we boot with thash_entries=2097152 which produces a hash table with 4194304 entries. Signed-off-by:

fls() takes an integer, so roundup_pow_of_two() is busted for ulongs larger than 2^32-1. Fix this by implementing and using fls_long(). (Why does roundup_pow_of_two() return a long?) (Why is roundup_pow_of_two() __attribute_const__ whereas long_log2() is __attribute_pure__?) (Why does long_log2() suck so much? Because we were missing fls_long()?)

While doing some benchmarks of an Apache/PHP SMP server, I noticed high oprofile numbers in in_group_p() and _atomic_dec_and_lock(). rank percent 1 4.8911 % __link_path_walk 2 4.8503 % __d_lookup *3 4.2911 % _atomic_dec_and_lock 4 3.9307 % __copy_to_user_ll 5 4.9004 % sysenter_past_esp *6 3.3248 % in_group_p It appears that in_group_p() does an uncessary get_group_info(current->group_info); /* atomic_inc() */ ... /* access current->group_info */ put_group_info(current->group_info); /* _atomic_dec_and_lock */ It is not necessary to do this, because the current task holds a reference on its own group_info, and this reference cannot change during the lookup. This patch deletes the get_group_info()/put_group_info() pair from sys_getgroups(), in_group_p() and in_egroup_p() functions. Signed-off-by:

If I mount ext2 "rw", I want it to say "rw", not "rw,nogrpid". I caught this writing an automated regression test script for the busybox mount command. The symptom is /dev/loop0 on /images/ext2.dir type ext2 (rw,nogrpid) instead of: /dev/loop0 on /images/ext2.dir type ext2 (rw) The behavior was introduced by git commit 8fc2751b. Signed-off-by:

Initramfs initrd images do not need a ramdisk device, so remove this restriction in Kconfig. BLK_DEV_RAM=n saves about 13k on i386. Also without ramdisk device there's no need for "dry run", so initramfs unpacks much faster. People using cramfs, squashfs, or gzipped ext2/minix initrd images are probably smart enough not to turn off ramdisk support by accident.
