2008-11-10nohz: disable tick_nohz_kick_tick() for nowThomas Gleixner
Impact: nohz powersavings and wakeup regression commit fb02fbc14d17837b4b7b02dbb36142c16a7bf208 (NOHZ: restart tick device from irq_enter()) causes a serious wakeup regression. While the patch is correct it does not take into account that spurious wakeups happen on x86. A fix for this issue is available, but we just revert to the .27 behaviour and let long running softirqs screw themself. Disable it for now. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2008-11-10irq: call __irq_enter() before calling the tick_idle_checkThomas Gleixner
Impact: avoid spurious ksoftirqd wakeups The tick idle check which is called from irq_enter() was run before the call to __irq_enter() which did not set the in_interrupt() bits in preempt_count. That way the raise of a softirq woke up softirqd for nothing as the softirq was handled on return from interrupt. Call __irq_enter() before calling into the tick idle check code.

2008-11-10x86: Make NUMA on 32-bit depend on BROKENRafael J. Wysocki
While investigating the failure of hibernation on 32-bit x86 with CONFIG_NUMA set, as described in this message http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=122634118116226&w=4 I asked some people for help and I was told that it wasn't really worth the effort, because CONFIG_NUMA was generally broken on 32-bit x86 systems and it shouldn't be used in such configs. For this reason, make CONFIG_NUMA depend on BROKEN instead of EXPERIMENTAL on x86-32. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2008-11-10powerpc: Repair device bindings documentationTrent Piepho
Commit d0fc2eaaf4c56a95f5ed29b6bfb609e19714fc16 "powerpc/fsl: Refactor device bindings" split out a number of device bindings from booting-without-of.txt into separate files. Having them all in one file was a frequent source of merge conflicts. However, in the next merge, 49997d75152b3d23c53b0fa730599f2f74c92c65, there was another conflict. Some of the bindings removed from booting-without-of.txt were mistakenly added back in and the copies in dts-bindings were kept as well. This patch re-removes "Freescale Display Interface" and "Freescale on board FPGA" and fixes the table of contents.

2008-11-10ocfs2: Check search result in ocfs2_xattr_block_get()Tiger Yang
ocfs2_xattr_block_get() calls ocfs2_xattr_search() to find an external xattr, but doesn't check the search result that is passed back via struct ocfs2_xattr_search. Add a check for search result, and pass back -ENODATA if the xattr search failed. This avoids a later NULL pointer error.

2008-11-10ocfs2/xattr: Proper hash collision handle in bucket divisionTao Ma
In ocfs2/xattr, we must make sure the xattrs which have the same hash value exist in the same bucket so that the search schema can work. But in the old implementation, when we want to extend a bucket, we just move half number of xattrs to the new bucket. This works in most cases, but if we are lucky enough we will move 2 xattrs into 2 different buckets. This means that an xattr from the previous bucket cannot be found anymore. This patch fix this problem by finding the right position during extending the bucket and extend an empty bucket if needed.

2008-11-10ocfs2: return 0 in page_mkwrite to let VFS retry.Tao Ma
In ocfs2_page_mkwrite, we return -EINVAL when we found the page mapping isn't updated, and it will cause the user space program get SIGBUS and exit. The reason is that during race writeable mmap, we will do unmap_mapping_range in ocfs2_data_downconvert_worker. The good thing is that if we reuturn 0 in page_mkwrite, VFS will retry fault and then call page_mkwrite again, so it is safe to return 0 here.

2008-11-10libata: revert convert-to-block-tagging patchesTejun Heo
This patch reverts the following three commits which convert libata to use block layer tagging. 43a49cbdf31e812c0d8f553d433b09b421f5d52c e013e13bf605b9e6b702adffbe2853cfc60e7806 2fca5ccf97d2c28bcfce44f5b07d85e74e3cd18e Although using block layer tagging is the right direction, due to the tight coupling among tag number, data structure allocation and hardware command slot allocation, libata doesn't work correctly with the current conversion. The biggest problem is guaranteeing that tag 0 is always used for non-NCQ commands. Due to the way blk-tag is implemented and how SCSI starts and finishes requests, such guarantee can't be made. I'm not sure whether this would actually break any low level driver but it doesn't look like a good idea to break such assumption given the frailty of ATA controllers. So, for the time being, keep using the old dumb in-libata qc allocation.

2008-11-10[XFS] XFS: Check for valid transaction headers in recoveryDavid Chinner
When we are about to add a new item to a transaction in recovery, we need to check that it is valid first. Currently we just assert that header magic number matches, but in production systems that is not present and we add a corrupted transaction to the list to be processed. This results in a kernel oops later when processing the corrupted transaction. Instead, if we detect a corrupted transaction, abort recovery and leave the user to clean up the mess that has occurred.

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.

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.
