2012-09-21debugfs: fix u32_array race in format_array_allocLinus Torvalds
The format_array_alloc() function is fundamentally racy, in that it prints the array twice: once to figure out how much space to allocate for the buffer, and the second time to actually print out the data. If any of the array contents changes in between, the allocation size may be wrong, and the end result may be truncated in odd ways. Just don't do it. Allocate a maximum-sized array up-front, and just format the array contents once. The only user of the u32_array interfaces is the Xen spinlock statistics code, and it has 31 entries in the arrays, so the maximum size really isn't that big, and the end result is much simpler code without the bug.

2012-09-21debugfs: fix race in u32_array_read and allocate array at openDavid Rientjes
u32_array_open() is racy when multiple threads read from a file with a seek position of zero, i.e. when two or more simultaneous reads are occurring after the non-seekable files are created. It is possible that file->private_data is double-freed because the threads races between kfree(file->private-data); and file->private_data = NULL; The fix is to only do format_array_alloc() when the file is opened and free it when it is closed. Note that because the file has always been non-seekable, you can't open it and read it multiple times anyway, so the data has always been generated just once. The difference is that now it is generated at open time rather than at the time of the first read, and that avoids the race.

2012-09-20ext4: remove erroneous ext4_superblock_csum_set() in update_backups()Tao Ma
The update_backups() function is used to backup all the metadata blocks, so we should not take it for granted that 'data' is pointed to a super block and use ext4_superblock_csum_set to calculate the checksum there. In case where the data is a group descriptor block, it will corrupt the last group descriptor, and then e2fsck will complain about it it. As all the metadata checksums should already be OK when we do the backup, remove the wrong ext4_superblock_csum_set and it should be just fine.

2012-09-20block: Implement support for WRITE SAMEMartin K. Petersen
The WRITE SAME command supported on some SCSI devices allows the same block to be efficiently replicated throughout a block range. Only a single logical block is transferred from the host and the storage device writes the same data to all blocks described by the I/O. This patch implements support for WRITE SAME in the block layer. The blkdev_issue_write_same() function can be used by filesystems and block drivers to replicate a buffer across a block range. This can be used to efficiently initialize software RAID devices, etc. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2012-09-19ext4: fix potential deadlock in ext4_nonda_switch()Theodore Ts'o
In ext4_nonda_switch(), if the file system is getting full we used to call writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle(). The problem is that we can be holding i_mutex already, and this causes a potential deadlock when writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() when it tries to take s_umount. (See lockdep output below). As it turns out we don't need need to hold s_umount; the fact that we are in the middle of the write(2) system call will keep the superblock pinned. Unfortunately writeback_inodes_sb() checks to make sure s_umount is taken, and the VFS uses a different mechanism for making sure the file system doesn't get unmounted out from under us. The simplest way of dealing with this is to just simply grab s_umount using a trylock, and skip kicking the writeback flusher thread in the very unlikely case that we can't take a read lock on s_umount without blocking. Also, we now check the cirteria for kicking the writeback thread before we decide to whether to fall back to non-delayed writeback, so if there are any outstanding delayed allocation writes, we try to get them resolved as soon as possible.

2012-09-18cifs: fix return value in cifsConvertToUTF16Jeff Layton
This function returns the wrong value, which causes the callers to get the length of the resulting pathname wrong when it contains non-ASCII characters.

2012-09-18vfs: dcache: use DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED instead of DCACHE_DISCONNECTED in d_kill()Miklos Szeredi
IBM reported a soft lockup after applying the fix for the rename_lock deadlock. Commit c83ce989cb5f ("VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression in kernel 2.6.38") was found to be the culprit. The nfs sillyrename fix used DCACHE_DISCONNECTED to indicate that the dentry was killed. This flag can be set on non-killed dentries too, which results in infinite retries when trying to traverse the dentry tree. This patch introduces a separate flag: DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED, which is only set in d_kill() and makes try_to_ascend() test only this flag. IBM reported successful test results with this patch.
