Unfortunately, BUG_ON(IS_ROOT(dentry)) can happen inside nfs_follow_mountpoint with NFS running Fedora 8 using a specific setup. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458622 So, the situation should be handled on NFS client gracefully.

Currently, if two processes are both trying to revalidate metadata for the same inode, they will find themselves being serialised. There is no good justification for this now that we have improved our ability to detect stale attribute data, so we should remove that serialisation.

If we're merely checking the inode attributes because we suspect that the 'updated' attributes returned by the RPC call are stale, then we shouldn't be doing weak cache consistency updates or clearing the cache_validity flags. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

Trond Myklebust authored
In the case where there are parallel RPC calls to the same inode, we may receive stale metadata due to the lack of ordering, hence the sanity checking of metadata in nfs_refresh_inode(). Currently, __nfs_revalidate_inode() is calling nfs_update_inode() directly, without any further sanity checks, and hence may end up setting the inode up with stale metadata. Fix is to use nfs_refresh_inode() instead of nfs_update_inode(). Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

If we believe that the attributes are old (see nfs_refresh_inode()), then we shouldn't force an update. Also ensure that we hold the inode->i_lock across attribute checks and the call to nfs_refresh_inode_locked() to ensure that we don't race with other attribute updates.

Trond Myklebust authored
Currently nfs_refresh_inode() will only update the inode metadata if it sees that the RPC call that returned the nfs_fattr was started after the last update of the inode. This means that if we have parallel RPC calls to the same inode (when sending WRITE calls, for instance), we may often miss updates. This patch attempts to recover those missed updates by also accepting them if the ctime in the nfs_fattr is more recent than the inode's cached ctime. It also recovers the case where the file size has increased, but the ctime has not been updated due to limited ctime resolution. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

Try to avoid taking and dropping the inode->i_lock more than once. Do so by moving the code in nfs_refresh_inode() that needs to be done under the spinlock into a function nfs_refresh_inode_locked(), and then having both nfs_refresh_inode() and nfs_post_op_update_inode() call it directly.

The point of introducing text-based mounts was to allow us to add functionality without having to worry about legacy binary mount formats. The mask should be there in order to ensure that binary formats don't start enabling features that they cannot support. There is no justification for applying it to the text mount path.

Add the flag NFS_MOUNT_LOOKUP_CACHE_NONEG to turn off the caching of negative dentries. In reality what we do is to force nfs_lookup_revalidate() to always discard negative dentries. Add the flag NFS_MOUNT_LOOKUP_CACHE_NONE for enforcing stricter revalidation of dentries. It forces the revalidate code to always do a lookup instead of just checking the cached mtime of the parent directory. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

Instead of causing umount requests to block on server->active_wq while the asynchronous sillyrename deletes are executing, we can use the sb->s_active counter to obtain a reference to the super_block, and then release that reference in nfs_async_unlink_release().

After the BKL removal patches were applied to the rest of the NFS code, the BKL protection in nfs_file_llseek() is no longer sufficient to ensure that inode->i_size is read safely in generic_file_llseek_unlocked(). In order to fix the situation, we either have to replace the naked read of inode->i_size in generic_file_llseek_unlocked() with i_size_read(), or the whole thing needs to be executed under the inode->i_lock; In order to avoid disrupting other filesystems, avoid touching generic_file_llseek_unlocked() for now...

I think the problem comes from "markers: fix duplicate modpost entry" (commit d35cb360) Especially : - add_marker(mod, marker, fmt); + if (!mod->skip) + add_marker(mod, marker, fmt); } return; fail: Here is a fix that should take care if this problem.

The atmel-mci driver sometimes fails data transfers like this: mmcblk0: error -5 transferring data end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 2749769 end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 2749777 It turns out that this might be caused by the BLKR register (which contains the block size and the number of blocks being transfered) being initialized too late. This patch moves the initialization of BLKR so that it contains the correct value before the block transfer command is sent. This error is difficult to reproduce, but if you insert a long delay (mdelay(10) or thereabouts) between the calls to atmci_start_command() and atmci_submit_data(), all transfers seem to fail without this patch, while I haven't seen any failures with this patch.

Stress-testing KVM's latest NMI support with kgdbts inside an SMP guest, I came across spurious unhandled NMIs while running the singlestep test. Looking closer at the code path each NMI takes when KGDB is enabled, I noticed that kgdb_nmicallback is called twice per event: One time via DIE_NMI_IPI notification, the second time on DIE_NMI. Removing the first invocation cures the unhandled NMIs here. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

There is a bug in the BIOSes of some HP boxes with AMD Turions which connects IO-APIC pins with ACPI thermal trip points in such a way that if the state of the IO-APIC is not as expected by the (buggy) BIOS, the thermal trip points are set to insanely low values (usually all of them become 16 degrees Celsius). As a result, thermal throttling kicks in and knock the system down to its shoes. Unfortunately some of the recent IO-APIC changes made the bug show up. To prevent this from happening, blacklist machines that are known to be affected (nx6115 and 6715b in this particular case). This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11516 listed as a regression from 2.6.26. On my box it was caused by: commit 691874fa Author: Maciej W.

The Swarm IDE driver uses a release method which is defined in the driver itself thus potentially oopsable.

Apparently, 'xcount' being 0 does not mean 0 bytes for TRM290; it means 4 bytes, judging from the code immediately preceding this check. So, we must never try to "split" the PRD for TRM290. This is probably never hit anyway -- with the DMA buffers aligned to at least 512 bytes and ATAPI DMA not being used for non block I/O commands...
