The attached patch destroys all the dentries attached to a superblock in one go by: (1) Destroying the tree rooted at s_root. (2) Destroying every entry in the anon list, one at a time. (3) Each entry in the anon list has its subtree consumed from the leaves inwards. This reduces the amount of work generic_shutdown_super() does, and avoids iterating through the dentry_unused list. Note that locking is almost entirely absent in the shrink_dcache_for_umount*() functions added by this patch. This is because: (1) at the point the filesystem calls generic_shutdown_super(), it is not permitted to further touch the superblock's set of dentries, and nor may it remove aliases from inodes; (2) the dcache memory shrinker now skips dentries that are being unmounted; and (3) the superblock no longer has any external references through which the VFS can reach it. Given these points, the only locking we need to do is when we remove dentries from the unused list and the name hashes, which we do a directory's worth at a time. We also don't need to guard against reference counts going to zero unexpectedly and removing bits of the tree we're working on as nothing else can call dput(). A cut down version of dentry_iput() has been folded into shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree() function. Apart from not needing to unlock things, it also doesn't need to check for inotify watches. In this version of the patch, the complaint about a dentry still being in use has been expanded from a single BUG_ON() and now gives much more information.

Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_anon_super() so that the assumption that generic_shutdown_super() can completely destroy the dentry tree for there will be no external references holds true. What was being done in the put_super() superblock op, is now done in the kill_sb() filesystem op instead, prior to calling kill_anon_super(). This makes the struct autofs_sb_info::root member variable redundant (since sb->s_root is still available), and so that is removed. The calls to shrink_dcache_sb() are also removed since they're also redundant as shrink_dcache_for_umount() will now be called after the cleanup routine. Signed-off-by:

- In parameter descriptions, strip all whitespace between the parameter name (e.g., @len) and its description so that the description is indented uniformly in text and man page modes. Previously, spaces or tabs (which are used for cleaner source code viewing) affected the produced output in a negative way. Before (man mode): to Destination address, in user space. from Source address, in kernel space. n Number of bytes to copy. After (man mode): to Destination address, in user space. from Source address, in kernel space. n Number of bytes to copy. - Fix/clarify a few function description comments.

Bug reported and fixed by Tilman Schmidt <tilman@imap.cc>: if lockdep is enabled then log messages make it to /var/log/messages belatedly. The reason is a missed wakeup of klogd. Initially there was only a lockdep_internal() protection against lockdep recursion within vprintk() - it grew the 'outer' lockdep_off()/on() protection only later on. But that lockdep_off() made the release_console_sem() within vprintk() always happen under the lockdep_internal() condition, causing the bug. The right solution to remove the inner protection against recursion here - the outer one is enough. Signed-off-by:

I was looking at lockdep-desing.txt and i guess i am confused with the changes with respect to fd7bcea3. It says + '.' acquired while irqs enabled + '+' acquired in irq context + '-' acquired in process context with irqs disabled + '?' read-acquired both with irqs enabled and in irq context + But the get_usage_chars() function does this for '-' if (class->usage_mask & LOCKF_ENABLED_HARDIRQS) *c1 = '-'; So i guess what would be correct would be '.' acquired while irqs disabled '+' acquired in irq context '-' acquired with irqs enabled '?' read acquired in irq context with irqs enabled.

If try_to_release_page() is called with a zero gfp mask, then the filesystem is effectively denied the possibility of sleeping while attempting to release the page. There doesn't appear to be any valid reason why this should be banned, given that we're not calling this from a memory allocation context. For this reason, change the gfp_mask argument of the call to GFP_KERNEL. Signed-off-by:

lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a user buffer. This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc function of the /proc filesystem operates. This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user(). We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the buffer differently. We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for kernel and user. This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel buffers. We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the upcoming bandwidth allocator code. Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too. Signed-off-by:

A couple of HDIO IOCTLs are not yet handled and a few others are marked as using a pointer rather than an unsigned long. The formers include: HDIO_GET_WCACHE, HDIO_GET_ACOUSTIC, HDIO_GET_ADDRESS and HDIO_GET_BUSSTATE. The latters are: HDIO_SET_MULTCOUNT, HDIO_SET_UNMASKINTR, HDIO_SET_KEEPSETTINGS, HDIO_SET_32BIT, HDIO_SET_NOWERR, HDIO_SET_DMA, HDIO_SET_PIO_MODE and HDIO_SET_NICE. Additionally 0x330 used to be HDIO_GETGEO_BIG and may be issued by 32-bit `hdparm' run on a 64-bit kernel making Linux complain loudly. This is a fix for these issues. Signed-off-by:

This likely profiling is pretty fun. I found a few possible problems in sched.c. This patch may be not measurable, but when I did measure long ago, nooping (un)likely cost a couple of % on scheduler heavy benchmarks, so it all adds up. Tweak some branch hints: - the 2nd 64 bits in the bitmask is likely to be populated, because it contains the first 28 bits (nearly 3/4) of the normal priorities. (ratio of 669669:691 ~= 1000:1). - it isn't unlikely that context switching switches to another process. it might be very rapidly switching to and from the idle process (ratio of 475815:419004 and 471330:423544). Let the branch predictor decide. - preempt_enable seems to be very often called in a nested preempt_disable or with interrupts disabled (ratio of 3567760:87965 ~= 40:1) Signed-off-by:

Current error behaviour for ext2 and ext3 filesystems does not fully correspond to the documentation and should be fixed. According to man 8 mount, ext2 and ext3 file systems allow to set one of 3 different on-errors behaviours: ---- start of quote man 8 mount ---- errors=continue / errors=remount-ro / errors=panic Define the behaviour when an error is encountered. (Either ignore errors and just mark the file system erroneous and continue, or remount the file system read-only, or panic and halt the system.) The default is set in the filesystem superblock, and can be changed using tune2fs(8). ---- end of quote ---- However EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock, and thus ERRORS_CONT is not saved on the sbi->s_mount_opt. It leads to the incorrect handle of errors on ext3. Then we've checked corresponding code in ext2 and discovered that it is buggy as well: - EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock (the same); - parse_option() does not clean the alternative values and thus something like (ERRORS_CONT|ERRORS_RO) can be set; - if options are omitted, parse_option() does not set any of these options. Therefore it is possible to set any combination of these options on the ext2: - none of them may be set: EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE on superblock / empty mount options; - any of them may be set using mount options; - 2 any options may be set: by using EXT2_ERRORS_RO/EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the superblock and other value in mount options; - and finally all three options may be set by adding third option in remount. Currently ext2 uses these values only in ext2_error() and it is not leading to any noticeable troubles. However somebody may be discouraged when he will try to workaround EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the superblock by using errors=continue in mount options. This patch: EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE should be read from the superblock as default value for error behaviour. parse_option() should clean the alternative options and should not change default value taken from the superblock.

Module taint flags listing in Oops/panic has a couple of issues: * taint_flags() doesn't null-terminate the buffer after printing the flags * per-module taints are only set if the kernel is not already tainted (with that particular flag) => only the first offending module gets its taint info correctly updated Some additional changes: * 'license_gplok' is no longer needed - equivalent to !(taints & TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE) - so we can drop it from struct module * exporting module taint info via /proc/module: pwc 88576 0 - Live 0xf8c32000 evilmod 6784 1 pwc, Live 0xf8bbf000 (PF) Signed-off-by:

If grow_buffers() is for some reason passed a block number which wants to lie outside the maximum-addressable pagecache range (PAGE_SIZE * 4G bytes) then it will accidentally truncate `index' and will then instnatiate a page at the wrong pagecache offset. This causes __getblk_slow() to go into an infinite loop. This can happen with corrupted disks, or with software errors elsewhere. Detect that, and handle it. Signed-off-by:

Implement the epoll_pwait system call, that extend the event wait mechanism with the same logic ppoll and pselect do. The definition of epoll_pwait is: int epoll_pwait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents, int timeout, const sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sigsetsize); The difference between the vanilla epoll_wait and epoll_pwait is that the latter allows the caller to specify a signal mask to be set while waiting for events. Hence epoll_pwait will wait until either one monitored event, or an unmasked signal happen. If sigmask is NULL, the epoll_pwait system call will act exactly like epoll_wait.
