A ccw command that reads or writes several records at once will usually transfer more data then fits into one page and needs to address memory areas using a list of indirect data address words (idaw). All but the first of these areas must start on a 4KB or 2KB block boundary (depending on the idaw format). A check for this restriction was missing and has been added with this patch. Signed-off-by:

The dasd driver can automatically online detected dasds, which especially important for finding the root device. Currently, it will wait for each online operation to finish individually, which may take long if many dasds need to be onlined. When using the new async framework, these onlining operations can run in parallel and presence of the root device is ensured by the fact that prepare_namespace() waits for all async threads to finish.

The QDIO ccw devices are started by ccw_device_start so no timeout can occur for the interrupt handler. Remove the dead code. In case of an I/O error set the device state to error and wake up a possibly running qdio_shutdown waiter. Signed-off-by:

mod_virt_timer() was used to modify/add cpu timers for cpus that were set online. This resulted in a one-shot timer for every cpu that was newly added or previously set offline, instead of an interval timer, which broke the appldata vtime interval setup. To fix this, the new mod_virt_timer_periodic() function is used, which adds interval timers instead of one-shot timers. Signed-off-by:

In case mod_virt_timer is used to add a non pending timer the timer is always added as a one-shot timer. If mod_virt_timer is used for periodic timers they may therfore be degraded to one-shot timers. Add mod_virt_timer_periodic to the interface to allow safe re-programming of the interval value.

Currently the storage of the machine flags is a globally exported unsigned long long variable. By moving the storage location into the lowcore struct we allow assembler code to check machine_flags directly even without needing a register. Addtionally the lowcore and therefore the machine flags too will be in cache most of the time. Signed-off-by:

We ended up incorrectly using '&cur' instead of '&readin' in the work_on_cpu() -> smp_call_function_single() transformation in commit 01599fca ("cpufreq: use smp_call_function_[single|many]() in acpi-cpufreq.c"). Andrew explains: "OK, the acpi tree went and had conflicting changes merged into it after I'd written the patch and it appears that I incorrectly reverted part of 18b2646f while fixing the resulting rejects. Switching it to `readin' looks correct." Acked-by:

The edac-core driver includes code which assumes that the work_struct which is included in every delayed_work is the first member of that structure. This is currently the case but might change in the future, so use to_delayed_work() instead, which doesn't make such an assumption. linux-2.6.30-rc1 has the to_delayed_work() function that will allow this patch to work Signed-off-by:

If two writers allocating blocks to file race with each other (e.g. because writepages races with ordinary write or two writepages race with each other), ext2_getblock() can be called on the same inode in parallel. Before we are going to allocate new blocks, we have to recheck the block chain we have obtained so far without holding truncate_mutex. Otherwise we could overwrite the indirect block pointer set by the other writer leading to data loss. The below test program by Ying is able to reproduce the data loss with ext2 on in BRD in a few minutes if the machine is under memory pressure: long kMemSize = 50 << 20; int kPageSize = 4096; int main(int argc, char **argv) { int status; int count = 0; int i; char *fname = "/mnt/test.mmap"; char *mem; unlink(fname); int fd = open(fname, O_CREAT | O_EXCL | O_RDWR, 0600); status = ftruncate(fd, kMemSize); mem = mmap(0, kMemSize, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); // Fill the memory with 1s. memset(mem, 1, kMemSize); sleep(2); for (i = 0; i < kMemSize; i++) { int byte_good = mem[i] != 0; if (!byte_good && ((i % kPageSize) == 0)) { //printf("%d ", i / kPageSize); count++; } } munmap(mem, kMemSize); close(fd); unlink(fname); if (count > 0) { printf("Running %d bad page\n", count); return 1; } return 0; } Cc: Ying Han <yinghan@google.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Signed-off-by:Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by:

Hugh Dickins authored
SHMEM_MAX_BYTES was derived from the maximum size of its triple-indirect swap vector, forgetting to take the MAX_LFS_FILESIZE limit into account. Never mind 256kB pages, even 8kB pages on 32-bit kernels allowed files to grow slightly bigger than that supposed maximum. Fix this by using the min of both (at build time not run time). And it happens that this calculation is good as far as 8MB pages on 32-bit or 16MB pages on 64-bit: though SHMSWP_MAX_INDEX gets truncated before that, it's truncated to such large numbers that we don't need to care.

Fix a division by zero which we have in shmem_truncate_range() and shmem_unuse_inode() when using big PAGE_SIZE values (e.g. 256kB on ppc44x). With 256kB PAGE_SIZE, the ENTRIES_PER_PAGEPAGE constant becomes too large (0x1.0000.0000) on a 32-bit kernel, so this patch just changes its type from 'unsigned long' to 'unsigned long long'. Hugh: reverted its unsigned long longs in shmem_truncate_range() and shmem_getpage(): the pagecache index cannot be more than an unsigned long, so the divisions by zero occurred in unreached code. It's a pity we need any ULL arithmetic here, but I found no pretty way to avoid it. Signed-off-by:

Change cb6ff208 ("NOMMU: Support XIP on initramfs") seems to have broken booting from initramfs with /sbin/init being a hardlink. It seems like the logic required for XIP on nommu, i.e. ftruncate to reported cpio header file size (body_len) is broken for hardlinks, which have a reported size of 0, and the truncate thus nukes the contents of the file (in my case busybox), making boot impossible and ending with runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000 - and of course 0000 is not a valid binary format. My fix is to only call ftruncate if size is non-zero which fixes things for me, but I'm not certain whether this will break XIP for those files on nommu systems, although I would guess not.

Pointed out by Roland. The bug was recently introduced by me in "forget_original_parent: split out the un-ptrace part", commit 39c626ae. Since that patch we have a window after exit_ptrace() drops tasklist and before forget_original_parent() takes it again. In this window the child can do ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME) and nobody can untrace this child after that. Change ptrace_traceme() to not attach to the exiting ->real_parent. We don't report the error in this case, we pretend we attach right before ->real_parent calls exit_ptrace() which should untrace us anyway. Signed-off-by:
