2010-08-22fanotify: do not dereference inode_mark when it is unsetEric Paris
The fanotify code is supposed to get the group from the mark. It accidentally only used the inode_mark. If the vfsmount_mark was set but not the inode_mark it would deref the NULL inode_mark. Get the group from the correct place. Reported-by: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@sophos.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

When enabling underscan for hdmi monitors, attempt to detect whether we are driving a TV or a monitor.

2010-08-22ceph: direct requests in snapped namespace based on nonsnap parentSage Weil
When making a request in the virtual snapdir or a snapped portion of the namespace, we should choose the MDS based on the first nonsnap parent (and its caps). If that is not the best place, we will get forward hints to find the right MDS in the cluster. This fixes ESTALE errors when using the .snap directory and namespace with multiple MDSs.

2010-08-22ceph: queue cap snap writeback for realm children on snap updateSage Weil
When a realm is updated, we need to queue writeback on inodes in that realm _and_ its children. Otherwise, if the inode gets cowed on the server, we can get a hang later due to out-of-sync cap/snap state. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>
2010-08-22ceph: include dirty xattrs state in snapped capsSage Weil
When we snapshot dirty metadata that needs to be written back to the MDS, include dirty xattr metadata. Make the capsnap reference the encoded xattr blob so that it will be written back in the FLUSHSNAP op. Also fix the capsnap creation guard to include dirty auth or file bits, not just tests specific to dirty file data or file writes in progress (this fixes auth metadata writeback). Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>
2010-08-22ceph: fix xattr cap writebackSage Weil
We should include the xattr metadata blob in the cap update message any time we are flushing dirty state, NOT just when we are also dropping the cap. This fixes async xattr writeback. Also, clean up the code slightly to avoid duplicating the bit test. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>
2010-08-22ceph: fix multiple mds session shutdownSage Weil
The use of a completion when waiting for session shutdown during umount is inappropriate, given the complexity of the condition. For multiple MDS's, this resulted in the umount thread spinning, often preventing the session close message from being processed in some cases. Switch to a waitqueue and defined a condition helper. This cleans things up nicely. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>

2010-08-21workqueue: Add basic tracepoints to track workqueue executionArjan van de Ven
With the introduction of the new unified work queue thread pools, we lost one feature: It's no longer possible to know which worker is causing the CPU to wake out of idle. The result is that PowerTOP now reports a lot of "kworker/a:b" instead of more readable results. This patch adds a pair of tracepoints to the new workqueue code, similar in style to the timer/hrtimer tracepoints. With this pair of tracepoints, the next PowerTOP can correctly report which work item caused the wakeup (and how long it took): Interrupt (43) i915 time 3.51ms wakeups 141 Work ieee80211_iface_work time 0.81ms wakeups 29 Work do_dbs_timer time 0.55ms wakeups 24 Process Xorg time 21.36ms wakeups 4 Timer sched_rt_period_timer time 0.01ms wakeups 1 Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2010-08-21mm: make stack guard page logic use vm_prev pointerLinus Torvalds
Like the mlock() change previously, this makes the stack guard check code use vma->vm_prev to see what the mapping below the current stack is, rather than have to look it up with find_vma(). Also, accept an abutting stack segment, since that happens naturally if you split the stack with mlock or mprotect.

2010-08-21mm: make the mlock() stack guard page checks stricterLinus Torvalds

2010-08-21mm: make the vma list be doubly linkedLinus Torvalds

Chapter 6 is right about mutex_trylock, but chapter 10 wasn't. This error was introduced during semaphore-to-mutex conversion of the Unreliable guide. :-) If user context which performs mutex_lock() or mutex_trylock() is preempted by interrupt context which performs mutex_trylock() on the same mutex instance, a deadlock occurs. This is because these functions do not disable local IRQs when they operate on mutex->wait_lock.

2010-08-20oom: __task_cred() need rcu_read_lock()KOSAKI Motohiro
dump_tasks() needs to hold the RCU read lock around its access of the target task's UID. To this end it should use task_uid() as it only needs that one thing from the creds. The fact that dump_tasks() holds tasklist_lock is insufficient to prevent the target process replacing its credentials on another CPU.
