2008-11-10[XFS] Account for allocated blocks when expanding directoriesDavid Chinner
When we create a directory, we reserve a number of blocks for the maximum possible expansion of of the directory due to various btree splits, freespace allocation, etc. Unfortunately, each allocation is not reflected in the total number of blocks still available to the transaction, so the maximal reservation is used over and over again. This leads to problems where an allocation group has only enough blocks for *some* of the allocations required for the directory modification. After the first N allocations, the remaining blocks in the allocation group drops below the total reservation, and subsequent allocations fail because the allocator will not allow the allocation to proceed if the AG does not have the enough blocks available for the entire allocation total. This results in an ENOSPC occurring after an allocation has already occurred. This results in aborting the directory operation (leaving the directory in an inconsistent state) and cancelling a dirty transaction, which results in a filesystem shutdown. Avoid the problem by reflecting the number of blocks allocated in any directory expansion in the total number of blocks available to the modification in progress. This prevents a directory modification from being aborted part way through with an ENOSPC.

2008-11-10[XFS] Wait for all I/O on truncate to zero file sizeLachlan McIlroy
It's possible to have outstanding xfs_ioend_t's queued when the file size is zero. This can happen in the direct I/O path when a direct I/O write fails due to ENOSPC. In this case the xfs_ioend_t will still be queued (ie xfs_end_io_direct() does not know that the I/O failed so can't force the xfs_ioend_t to be flushed synchronously). When we truncate a file on unlink we don't know to wait for these xfs_ioend_ts and we can have a use-after-free situation if the inode is reclaimed before the xfs_ioend_t is finally processed. As was suggested by Dave Chinner lets wait for all I/Os to complete when truncating the file size to zero.

2008-11-10[XFS] Fix use-after-free with log and quotasLachlan McIlroy
Destroying the quota stuff on unmount can access the log - ie XFS_QM_DONE() ends up in xfs_dqunlock() which calls xfs_trans_unlocked_item() and then xfs_log_move_tail(). By this time the log has already been destroyed. Just move the cleanup of the quota code earlier in xfs_unmountfs() before the call to xfs_log_unmount(). Moving XFS_QM_DONE() up near XFS_QM_DQPURGEALL() seems like a good spot.

The "Exclude staging drivers" question is there so that we don't build staging drivers for allyesconfig or allnoconfig settings, but it's very irritating when you've already said "no" to staging drivers earlier. There is absolutely no point in declining twice - once you've declined the staging drivers, you're done.

2008-11-09Fix nfsd truncation of readdir resultsDoug Nazar
Commit 8d7c4203 "nfsd: fix failure to set eof in readdir in some situations" introduced a bug: on a directory in an exported ext3 filesystem with dir_index unset, a READDIR will only return about 250 entries, even if the directory was larger. Bisected it back to this commit; reverting it fixes the problem. It turns out that in this case ext3 reads a block at a time, then returns from readdir, which means we can end up with buf.full==0 but with more entries in the directory still to be read. Before 8d7c4203 (but after c002a6c797 "Optimise NFS readdir hack slightly"), this would cause us to return the READDIR result immediately, but with the eof bit unset. That could cause a performance regression (because the client would need more roundtrips to the server to read the whole directory), but no loss in correctness, since the cleared eof bit caused the client to send another readdir. After 8d7c4203, the setting of the eof bit made this a correctness problem. So, move nfserr_eof into the loop and remove the buf.full check so that we loop until buf.used==0. The following seems to do the right thing and reduces the network traffic since we don't return a READDIR result until the buffer is full. Tested on an empty directory & large directory; eof is properly sent and there are no more short buffers.

2008-11-09net: unix: fix inflight counting bug in garbage collectorMiklos Szeredi
Previously I assumed that the receive queues of candidates don't change during the GC. This is only half true, nothing can be received from the queues (see comment in unix_gc()), but buffers could be added through the other half of the socket pair, which may still have file descriptors referring to it. This can result in inc_inflight_move_tail() erronously increasing the "inflight" counter for a unix socket for which dec_inflight() wasn't previously called. This in turn can trigger the "BUG_ON(total_refs < inflight_refs)" in a later garbage collection run. Fix this by only manipulating the "inflight" counter for sockets which are candidates themselves. Duplicating the file references in unix_attach_fds() is also needed to prevent a socket becoming a candidate for GC while the skb that contains it is not yet queued.

2008-11-09clarify usage expectations for cnt32_to_63()Nicolas Pitre
Currently, all existing users of cnt32_to_63() are fine since the CPU architectures where it is used don't do read access reordering, and user mode preemption is disabled already. It is nevertheless a good idea to better elaborate usage requirements wrt preemption, and use an explicit memory barrier on SMP to avoid different CPUs accessing the counter value in the wrong order. On UP a simple compiler barrier is sufficient.

For example, the hibernation code applies pfn_to_page(pfn) to the result of a function returning the pfn corresponding to the next set bit in a bitmap and the current bit position is modified on each call.

2008-11-07ACPI video: if no ACPI backlight support, use vendor driversThomas Renninger
If an ACPI graphics device supports backlight brightness functions (cmp. with latest ACPI spec Appendix B), let the ACPI video driver control backlight and switch backlight control off in vendor specific ACPI drivers (asus_acpi, thinkpad_acpi, eeepc, fujitsu_laptop, msi_laptop, sony_laptop, acer-wmi). Currently it is possible to load above drivers and let both poke on the brightness HW registers, the video and vendor specific ACPI drivers -> bad. This patch provides the basic support to check for BIOS capabilities before driver loading time. Driver specific modifications are in separate follow up patches. "acpi_backlight=vendor" Prever vendor driver over ACPI driver for backlight. "acpi_backlight=video" (default) Prever ACPI driver over vendor driver for backlight.
