2009-09-16writeback: fix possible bdi writeback refcounting problemNick Piggin
wb_clear_pending AFAIKS should not be called after the item has been put on the list, except by the worker threads. It could lead to the situation where the refcount is decremented below 0 and cause lots of problems. Presumably the !wb_has_dirty_io case is not a common one, so it can be discovered when the thread wakes up to check? Also add a comment in bdi_work_clear.

2009-09-16writeback: Fix bdi use after free in wb_work_complete()Nick Piggin
By the time bdi_work_on_stack gets evaluated again in bdi_work_free, it can already have been deallocated and used for something else in the !on stack case, giving a false positive in this test and causing corruption.

2009-09-16writeback: improve scalability of bdi writeback work queuesNick Piggin
If you're going to do an atomic RMW on each list entry, there's not much point in all the RCU complexities of the list walking. This is only going to help the multi-thread case I guess, but it doesn't hurt to do now. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2009-09-16writeback: splice dirty inode entries to default bdi on bdi_destroy()Jens Axboe
We cannot safely ensure that the inodes are all gone at this point in time, and we must not destroy this bdi with inodes having off it. So just splice our entries to the default bdi since that one will always persist. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-16writeback: separate starting of sync vs opportunistic writebackJens Axboe
bdi_start_writeback() is currently split into two paths, one for WB_SYNC_NONE and one for WB_SYNC_ALL. Add bdi_sync_writeback() for WB_SYNC_ALL writeback and let bdi_start_writeback() handle only WB_SYNC_NONE. Push down the writeback_control allocation and only accept the parameters that make sense for each function. This cleans up the API considerably. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-16writeback: inline allocation failure handling in bdi_alloc_queue_work()Jens Axboe

2009-09-16writeback: use RCU to protect bdi_listJens Axboe
Now that bdi_writeback_all() no longer handles integrity writeback, it doesn't have to block anymore. This means that we can switch bdi_list reader side protection to RCU. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-16writeback: only use bdi_writeback_all() for WB_SYNC_NONE writeoutJens Axboe

2009-09-16fs: Assign bdi in super_blockJens Axboe
We do this automatically in get_sb_bdev() from the set_bdev_super() callback. Filesystems that have their own private backing_dev_info must assign that in ->fill_super(). Note that ->s_bdi assignment is required for proper writeback! Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-16writeback: make wb_writeback() take an argument structureJens Axboe
We need to be able to pass in range_cyclic as well, so instead of growing yet another argument, split the arguments into a struct wb_writeback_args structure that we can use internally. Also makes it easier to just copy all members to an on-stack struct, since we can't access work after clearing the pending bit. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-16writeback: merely wakeup flusher thread if work allocation fails for ↵Christoph Hellwig

2009-09-16fuse: limit user-specified values of max background requestsCsaba Henk
An untrusted user could DoS the system if s/he were allowed to accumulate an arbitrary number of pending background requests by setting the above limits to extremely high values in INIT. This patch excludes this possibility by imposing global upper limits on the possible values of per-mount "max background requests" and "congestion threshold" parameters for unprivileged FUSE filesystems. These global limits are implemented as module parameters. Signed-off-by: Csaba Henk <csaba@gluster.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
2009-09-16fuse: use drop_nlink() instead of direct nlink manipulationCsaba Henk

2009-09-16amd64_edac: check NB MCE bank enable on the current node properlyBorislav Petkov
The old code was using smp_call_function_many which skips the current cpu if it is in the supplied cpumask. Switch to the rdmsr_on_cpus() interface which takes care of that.

This appeared after I enabled CONFIG_TCP_MD5SIG and played with it a bit, so I looked at what might have caused it. One thing that struck me as strange is tcp_twsk_destructor(), as it calls tcp_put_md5sig_pool() -- which entails a put_cpu(), causing the detected imbalance.

2009-09-15nfsd41: Backchannel: Setup sequence informationRicardo Labiaga
Follows the model used by the NFS client. Setup the RPC prepare and done function pointers so that we can populate the sequence information if minorversion == 1. rpc_run_task() is then invoked directly just like existing NFS client operations do. nfsd4_cb_prepare() determines if the sequence information needs to be setup. If the slot is in use, it adds itself to the wait queue. nfsd4_cb_done() wakes anyone sleeping on the callback channel wait queue after our RPC reply has been received. It also sets the task message result pointer to NULL to clearly indicate we're done using it.
