2009-02-21[CIFS] improve posix semantics of file createSteve French
Samba server added support for a new posix open/create/mkdir operation a year or so ago, and we added support to cifs for mkdir to use it, but had not added the corresponding code to file create. The following patch helps improve the performance of the cifs create path (to Samba and servers which support the cifs posix protocol extensions). Using Connectathon basic test1, with 2000 files, the performance improved about 15%, and also helped reduce network traffic (17% fewer SMBs sent over the wire) due to saving a network round trip for the SetPathInfo on every file create. It should also help the semantics (and probably the performance) of write (e.g. when posix byte range locks are on the file) on file handles opened with posix create, and adds support for a few flags which would have to be ignored otherwise.

2009-02-208250: fix boot hang with serial console when using with Serial Over Lan portMauro Carvalho Chehab
Intel 8257x Ethernet boards have a feature called Serial Over Lan. This feature works by emulating a serial port, and it is detected by kernel as a normal 8250 port. However, this emulation is not perfect, as also noticed on changeset 7500b1f602aad75901774a67a687ee985d85893f. Before this patch, the kernel were trying to check if the serial TX is capable of work using IRQ's. This were done with a code similar this: serial_outp(up, UART_IER, UART_IER_THRI); lsr = serial_in(up, UART_LSR); iir = serial_in(up, UART_IIR); serial_outp(up, UART_IER, 0); if (lsr & UART_LSR_TEMT && iir & UART_IIR_NO_INT) up->bugs |= UART_BUG_TXEN; This works fine for other 8250 ports, but, on 8250-emulated SoL port, the chip is a little lazy to down UART_IIR_NO_INT at UART_IIR register. Due to that, UART_BUG_TXEN is sometimes enabled. However, as TX IRQ keeps working, and the TX polling is now enabled, the driver miss-interprets the IRQ received later, hanging up the machine until a key is pressed at the serial console. This is the 6 version of this patch. Previous versions were trying to introduce a large enough delay between serial_outp and serial_in(up, UART_IIR), but not taking forever. However, the needed delay couldn't be safely determined. At the experimental tests, a delay of 1us solves most of the cases, but still hangs sometimes. Increasing the delay to 5us was better, but still doesn't solve. A very high delay of 50 ms seemed to work every time. However, poking around with delays and pray for it to be enough doesn't seem to be a good approach, even for a quirk. So, instead of playing with random large arbitrary delays, let's just disable UART_BUG_TXEN for all SoL ports.

2009-02-20slab: introduce kzfree()Johannes Weiner
kzfree() is a wrapper for kfree() that additionally zeroes the underlying memory before releasing it to the slab allocator. Currently there is code which memset()s the memory region of an object before releasing it back to the slab allocator to make sure security-sensitive data are really zeroed out after use. These callsites can then just use kzfree() which saves some code, makes users greppable and allows for a stupid destructor that isn't necessarily aware of the actual object size.

2009-02-21x86, mm: fault.c, give another attempt at prefetch handing before SIGBUSIngo Molnar
Impact: extend prefetch handling on 64-bit Currently there's an extra is_prefetch() check done in do_sigbus(), which we only do on 32 bits. This is a last-ditch check before we terminate a task, so it's worth giving prefetch instructions another chance - should none of our existing quirks have caught a prefetch instruction related spurious fault. The only risk is if a prefetch causes a real sigbus, in that case we'll not OOM but try another fault. But this code has been on 32-bit for a long time, so it should be fine in practice. So do this on 64-bit too - and thus remove one more #ifdef. Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-02-21x86, mm: fault.c, unify oops handlingIngo Molnar
Impact: add oops-recursion check to 32-bit Unify the oops state-machine, to the 64-bit version. It is slightly more careful in that it does a recursion check in oops_begin(), and is thus more likely to show the relevant oops. It also means that 32-bit will print one more line at the end of pagefault triggered oopses: printk(KERN_EMERG "CR2: %016lx\n", address); Which is generally good information to be seen in partial-dump digital-camera jpegs ;-) The downside is the somewhat more complex critical path. Both variants have been tested well meanwhile by kernel developers crashing their boxes so i dont think this is a practical worry. This removes 3 ugly #ifdefs from no_context() and makes the function a lot nicer read. Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-02-21x86, mm: fault.c, enable PF_RSVD checks on 32-bit tooIngo Molnar
Impact: improve page fault handling robustness The 'PF_RSVD' flag (bit 3) of the page-fault error_code is a relatively recent addition to x86 CPUs, so the 32-bit do_fault() implementation never had it. This flag gets set when the CPU detects nonzero values in any reserved bits of the page directory entries. Extend the existing 64-bit check for PF_RSVD in do_page_fault() to 32-bit too. If we detect such a fault then we print a more informative oops and the pagetables. This unifies the code some more, removes an ugly #ifdef and improves the 32-bit page fault code robustness a bit. It slightly increases the 32-bit kernel text size. Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Also, simplify the code flow a tiny bit in the helper. No code changed: arch/x86/mm/fault.o: text data bss dec hex filename 2711 12 12 2735 aaf fault.o.before 2711 12 12 2735 aaf fault.o.after Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

The code got a tiny bit smaller: text data bss dec hex filename 4632 32 24 4688 1250 fault.o.before 4618 32 24 4674 1242 fault.o.after And it got cleaner / easier to review as well.

2009-02-20x86, pat: add large-PAT check to split_large_page()Ingo Molnar
Impact: future-proof the split_large_page() function Linus noticed that split_large_page() is not safe wrt. the PAT bit: it is bit 12 on the 1GB and 2MB page table level (_PAGE_BIT_PAT_LARGE), and it is bit 7 on the 4K page table level (_PAGE_BIT_PAT). Currently it is not a problem because we never set _PAGE_BIT_PAT_LARGE on any of the large-page mappings - but should this happen in the future the split_large_page() would silently lift bit 12 into the lowlevel 4K pte and would start corrupting the physical page frame offset. Not fun. So add a debug warning, to make sure if something ever sets the PAT bit then this function gets updated too.

2009-02-20x86: check PMD in spurious_fault handlerSteven Rostedt
Impact: fix to prevent hard lockup on bad PMD permissions If the PMD does not have the correct permissions for a page access, but the PTE does, the spurious fault handler will mistake the fault as a lazy TLB transaction.

2009-02-20Btrfs: try committing transaction before returning ENOSPCJosef Bacik
This fixes a problem where we could return -ENOSPC when we may actually have plenty of space, the space is just pinned. Instead of returning -ENOSPC immediately, commit the transaction first and then try and do the allocation again. This patch also does chunk allocation for metadata if we pass the 80% threshold for metadata space. This will help with stack usage since the chunk allocation will happen early on, instead of when the allocation is happening. Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@redhat.com>
2009-02-20Btrfs: add better -ENOSPC handlingJosef Bacik
This is a step in the direction of better -ENOSPC handling. Instead of checking the global bytes counter we check the space_info bytes counters to make sure we have enough space. If we don't we go ahead and try to allocate a new chunk, and then if that fails we return -ENOSPC. This patch adds two counters to btrfs_space_info, bytes_delalloc and bytes_may_use. bytes_delalloc account for extents we've actually setup for delalloc and will be allocated at some point down the line. bytes_may_use is to keep track of how many bytes we may use for delalloc at some point. When we actually set the extent_bit for the delalloc bytes we subtract the reserved bytes from the bytes_may_use counter. This keeps us from not actually being able to allocate space for any delalloc bytes. Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@redhat.com>
