ecryptfs in 2.6.24-rc3 wasn't surviving fsx for me at all, dying after 4 ops. Generally, encountering problems with stale data and improperly zeroed pages. An extending truncate + write for example would expose stale data. With the changes below I got to a million ops and beyond with all mmap ops disabled - mmap still needs work. (A version of this patch on a RHEL5 kernel ran for over 110 million fsx ops) I added a few comments as well, to the best of my understanding as I read through the code.

bloat-o-meter assumes that a '.' anywhere in a symbol's name means that it is static and prepends 'static.' to the first part of the symbol name, discarding the portion of the name that follows the '.'. However, the names of function entry points begin with '.' in the ppc64 ABI. This causes all function text size changes to be accounted to a single 'static.' entry in the output when comparing ppc64 kernels. Change getsizes() to ignore the first character of the symbol name when searching for '.'.

eCryptfs wasn't setting s_blocksize in it's superblock; just pick it up from the lower FS. Having an s_blocksize of 0 made things like "filefrag" which call FIGETBSZ unhappy.

Mel Gorman authored
In some cases the IO subsystem is able to merge requests if the pages are adjacent in physical memory. This was achieved in the allocator by having expand() return pages in physically contiguous order in situations were a large buddy was split. However, list-based anti-fragmentation changed the order pages were returned in to avoid searching in buffered_rmqueue() for a page of the appropriate migrate type. This patch restores behaviour of rmqueue_bulk() preserving the physical order of pages returned by the allocator without incurring increased search costs for anti-fragmentation.

This fixes some of the alpha-specific build problems, except a) modpost warning about COMMON symbol "saved_config" and b) nasty final link failure with gcc-4.x, -Os and scsi-disk driver configured built-in (due to jump table in .rodata referencing discarded .exit.text). - build failure with gcc-4.2.x: fix up casts in cia_io* routines to avoid warnings ('discards qualifiers from pointer target type'), which are failures, thanks to -Werror; - modpost warnings: add missing __init qualifier for titan and marvel; for non-generic build, move machine vectors from .data to .data.init.refok section; - unbreak CPU-specific optimization: rearrange cpuflags-y assignments so that extended -mcpu value (ev56, pca56, ev67) overrides basic one (ev5, ev6) and not vice versa.

ecryptfs_destroy_mount_crypt_stat() checks whether each auth_tok->global_auth_tok_key is nonzero and if so puts that key. However, in some early mount error paths nothing has initialized the pointer, and we try to key_put() garbage. Running the bad cipher tests in the testsuite exposes this, and it's happy with the following change.

First of all, thanks to Bob Tracy <rct@frus.com> and Michael Cree <mcree@orcon.net.nz> for testing. Especially to Bob, as he has done titanic multi-day git-bisect work that finally helped to reproduce and nail down the bug (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9457). [ev6-]stxncpy.S: it's t12, not t2 register that is supposed to contain the last byte offset upon return. As a result of wrong register use (which was my fault back in 2003, IIRC), under some circumstances extra terminating zero bytes were added to destination string. This particularly led to incorrect DEVPATH strings generated in uevent and therefore to udev problems. strncpy.S: unrelated bug I found while testing the above fix - destination is not properly zero-padded then a byte count exceeds source length. Actually this is addition to strncpy fix from last year.

Sometimes when UML is debugged gdb miss breakpoints. When process traced by gdb do fork, debugger remove breakpoints from child address space. There is possibility to trace more than one fork, but this not work with UML, I guess (only guess) there is a deadlock - gdb waits for UML and UML waits for gdb. When clone() is called with SIGCHLD and CLONE_VM flags, gdb see this as PTRACE_EVENT_FORK not as PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE and remove breakpoints from child and at the same time from traced process, because either have the same address space. Maybe it is possible to do fix in gdb, but I'm not sure if there is easy way to find out if traced and child processes share memory. So I do fix for UML, it simply do not call clone() with both SIGCHLD and CLONE_VM flags together. Additionally __WALL flag is used for waitpid() to assure not miss clone and normal process events.

ocfs2_extend_trans() might call journal_restart() which will commit dirty buffers and then restart the transaction.

The nastiest cases of transaction extends are also the rarest. We can expose them more quickly at the expense of performance by going straight to the journal_restart() in ocfs2_extend_trans().

The OHCI IRQ handler has an optimisation that avoids reading some chip registers when the controller reports that the interrupt was triggered *only* because completed requests were written into the controller's "done list" and handed to the host. This mechanism can't be used on some controllers. Among others, it fails for the SA1111 and the AMCC 440EP PowerPC processor. This patch removes the optimisation and makes the code clearer.

Correct hanging while disconnecting the USB device cable. Prevent a race between vbus and UDP interrupts. This bug was tracked on at91sam9260ek boards. A usb resume interrupt was firing after the vbus interrupt : the IP was then already stoped and not able to deal with it (no more clock). A simple interrupt disabling is ok as the "end of bus reset" irq is non maskable and ok to resume the USB device IP.
