      xfs: fix xfs_quiesce_data · c90b07e8
      Dave Chinner authored 
      We need to do a synchronous xfs_sync_fsdata to make sure the superblock
actually is on disk when we return.

Also remove SYNC_BDFLUSH flag to xfs_sync_inodes because that particular
flag is never checked.

Move xfs_filestream_flush call later to only release inodes after they
have been written out.

      xfs: implement ->dirty_inode to fix timestamp handling · f9581b14
      Christoph Hellwig authored 
      This is picking up on Felix's repost of Dave's patch to implement a
.dirty_inode method.  We really need this notification because
the VFS keeps writing directly into the inode structure instead
of going through methods to update this state.  In addition to
the long-known atime issue we now also have a caller in VM code
that updates c/mtime that way for shared writeable mmaps.  And
I found another one that no one has noticed in practice in the FIFO
code.

So implement ->dirty_inode to set i_update_core whenever the
inode gets externally dirtied, and switch the c/mtime handling to
the same scheme we already use for atime (always picking up
the value from the Linux inode).

Note that this patch also removes the xfs_synchronize_atime call
in xfs_reclaim it was superflous as we already synchronize the time
when writing the inode via the log (xfs_inode_item_format) or the
normal buffers (xfs_iflush_int).

In addition also remove the I_CLEAR check before copying the Linux
timestamps - now that we always have the Linux inode available
we can always use the timestamps in it.

Also switch to just using file_update_time for regular reads/writes -
that will get us all optimization done to it for free and make
sure we notice early when it breaks.

      xfs: use correct log reservation when handling ENOSPC in xfs_create · 4734d401
      Christoph Hellwig authored 
      We added the ENOSPC handling patch in xfs_create just after it got mered
with xfs_mkdir.  Change the log reservation to the variable for either
the create or mkdir value so it does the right thing if get here for creating
a directory.

      aoe: allocate unused request_queue for sysfs · 7135a71b
      Ed Cashin authored 
      Andy Whitcroft reported an oops in aoe triggered by use of an
incorrectly initialised request_queue object:

  [ 2645.959090] kobject '<NULL>' (ffff880059ca22c0): tried to add
		an uninitialized object, something is seriously wrong.
  [ 2645.959104] Pid: 6, comm: events/0 Not tainted 2.6.31-5-generic #24-Ubuntu
  [ 2645.959107] Call Trace:
  [ 2645.959139] [<ffffffff8126ca2f>] kobject_add+0x5f/0x70
  [ 2645.959151] [<ffffffff8125b4ab>] blk_register_queue+0x8b/0xf0
  [ 2645.959155] [<ffffffff8126043f>] add_disk+0x8f/0x160
  [ 2645.959161] [<ffffffffa01673c4>] aoeblk_gdalloc+0x164/0x1c0 [aoe]

The request queue of an aoe device is not used but can be allocated in
code that does not sleep.

Bruno bisected this regression down to

  cd43e26f

  block: Expose stacked device queues in sysfs

"This seems to generate /sys/block/$device/queue and its contents for
 everyone who is using queues, not just for those queues that have a
 non-NULL queue->request_fn."

Addresses http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410198
Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13942

Note that embedding a queue inside another object has always been
an illegal construct, since the queues are reference counted and
must persist until the last reference is dropped. So aoe was
always buggy in this respect (Jens).

      i915: disable interrupts before tearing down GEM state · e6890f6f
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Reinette Chatre reports a frozen system (with blinking keyboard LEDs)
when switching from graphics mode to the text console, or when
suspending (which does the same thing). With netconsole, the oops
turned out to be

	BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000084
	IP: [<ffffffffa03ecaab>] i915_driver_irq_handler+0x26b/0xd20 [i915]

and it's due to the i915_gem.c code doing drm_irq_uninstall() after
having done i915_gem_idle(). And the i915_gem_idle() path will do

  i915_gem_idle() ->
    i915_gem_cleanup_ringbuffer() ->
      i915_gem_cleanup_hws() ->
        dev_priv->hw_status_page = NULL;

but if an i915 interrupt comes in after this stage, it may want to
access that hw_status_page, and gets the above NULL pointer dereference.

And since the NULL pointer dereference happens from within an interrupt,
and with the screen still in graphics mode, the common end result is
simply a silently hung machine.

Fix it by simply uninstalling the irq handler before idling rather than
after. Fixes

--------------------
Commit
38bddf04 gianfar: gfar_remove needs to call unregister_netdev()

breaks the build of the gianfar driver because "dev" is undefined in
this function. To quickly test rc9 I changed this to priv->ndev but I do
not know if this is the correct one.
