2010-03-05ext3: add writepage sanity checksDmitry Monakhov
- There is theoretical possibility to perform writepage on RO superblock. Add explicit check for what case. - Page must being locked before writepage. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2010-03-05ext3: Truncate allocated blocks if direct IO write fails to update i_sizeJan Kara
We have to truncate blocks allocated to file during direct IO when we fail to update i_size properly. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2010-03-05quota: Properly invalidate caches even for filesystems with blocksize < pagesizeJan Kara
Sometimes invalidate_bdev() can fail to invalidate a part of block device cache because of dirty data. If the filesystem has blocksize smaller than page size, this can happen even for pages containing quota files and thus kernel would operate on stale data. Fix the issue by syncing the filesystem before invalidating the cache. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2010-03-05quota: generalize quota transfer interfaceDmitry Monakhov

2010-03-05jbd: Delay discarding buffers in journal_unmap_bufferJan Kara
Delay discarding buffers in journal_unmap_buffer until we know that "add to orphan" operation has definitely been committed, otherwise the log space of committing transation may be freed and reused before truncate get committed, updates may get lost if crash happens. This patch is a backport of JBD2 fix by dingdinghua <dingdinghua@nrchpc.ac.cn>. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2010-03-05ext3: quota_write cross block boundary behaviourDmitry Monakhov
We always assume what dquot update result in changes in one data block But ext3_quota_write() function may handle cross block boundary writes In fact if this ever happen it will result in incorrect journal credits reservation. And later bug_on triggering. As soon this never happen the boundary cross loop is NOOP. In order to make things straight let's remove this loop and assert cross boundary condition.

2010-03-05quota: remove invalid optimization from quota_sync_allChristoph Hellwig
Checking the "VFS" quota enabled and dirty bits from generic code means this code will never get called for other implementations, e.g. XFS and GFS2. Grabbing the reference on the superblock really isn't much overhead for a global Q_SYNC call, so just drop this optimization. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2010-03-05quota: move code from sync_quota_sb into vfs_quota_syncChristoph Hellwig
Currenly sync_quota_sb does a lot of sync and truncate action that only applies to "VFS" style quotas and is actively harmful for the sync performance in XFS. Move it into vfs_quota_sync and add a wait parameter to ->quota_sync to tell if we need it or not. My audit of the GFS2 code says it's also not needed given the way GFS2 implements quotas, but I'd be happy if this can get a detailed review. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2010-03-05quota: clean up Q_XQUOTASYNCChristoph Hellwig
Currently Q_XQUOTASYNC calls into the quota_sync method, but XFS does something entirely different in it than the rest of the filesystems. xfs_quota which calls Q_XQUOTASYNC expects an asynchronous data writeout to flush delayed allocations, while the "VFS" quota support wants to flush changes to the quota file. So make Q_XQUOTASYNC call into the writeback code directly and make the quota_sync method optional as XFS doesn't need in the sense expected by the rest of the quota code. GFS2 was using limited XFS-style quota and has a quota_sync method fitting neither the style used by vfs_quota_sync nor xfs_fs_quota_sync. I left it in for now as per discussion with Steve it expects to be called from the sync path this way. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2010-03-05quota: simplify permission checkingChristoph Hellwig
Stop having complicated different routines for checking permissions for XQM vs "VFS" quotas. Instead do the checks for having sb->s_qcop and a valid type directly in do_quotactl, and munge the *quotactl_valid functions into a check_quotactl_permission helper that only checks for permissions.

2010-03-05quota: special case Q_SYNC without device nameChristoph Hellwig
The Q_SYNC command can be called without the path to a device, in which case it iterates over all superblocks. Special case this variant directly in sys_quotactl so that the other code always gets a superblock and doesn't need to deal with this case.

2010-03-05quota: Fix warning when a delayed write happens before quota is enabledJan Kara
If a delayed-allocation write happens before quota is enabled, the kernel spits out a warning: WARNING: at fs/quota/dquot.c:988 dquot_claim_space+0x77/0x112() because the fact that user has some delayed allocation is not recorded in quota structure. Make dquot_initialize() update amount of reserved space for user if it sees inode has some space reserved. Also make sure that reserved quota space does not go negative and we warn about the filesystem bug just once. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2010-03-05quota: manage reserved space when quota is not active [v2]Dmitry Monakhov
Since we implemented generic reserved space management interface, then it is possible to account reserved space even when quota is not active (similar to i_blocks/i_bytes).

2010-03-05ext3: Use bitops to read/modify EXT3_I(inode)->i_stateJan Kara
At several places we modify EXT3_I(inode)->i_state without holding i_mutex (ext3_release_file, ext3_bmap, ext3_journalled_writepage, ext3_do_update_inode, ...). These modifications are racy and we can lose updates to i_state. So convert handling of i_state to use bitops which are atomic. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2010-03-05quota: Cleanup S_NOQUOTA handlingJan Kara
Cleanup handling of S_NOQUOTA inode flag and document it a bit. The flag does not have to be set under dqptr_sem. Only functions modifying inode's dquot pointers have to check the flag under dqptr_sem before going forward with the modification. This way we are sure that we cannot add new dquot pointers to the inode which is just becoming a quota file. The good thing about this cleanup is that there are no more places in quota code which enforce i_mutex vs. dqptr_sem lock ordering (in particular that dqptr_sem -> i_mutex of quota file). This should silence some (false) lockdep warnings with ext4 + quota and generally make life of some filesystems easier. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2010-03-03ioat3: interrupt coalescingDan Williams
The hardware automatically disables further interrupts after each event until rearmed. This allows a delay to be injected between the occurence of the interrupt and the running of the cleanup routine. The delay is scaled by the descriptor backlog and then written to the INTRDELAY register which specifies the number of microseconds to hold off interrupt delivery after an interrupt event occurs. According to powertop this reduces the interrupt rate from ~5000 intr/s to ~150 intr/s per without affecting throughput (simple dd to a raid6 array).

2010-03-03Prioritize synchronous signals over 'normal' signalsLinus Torvalds
This makes sure that we pick the synchronous signals caused by a processor fault over any pending regular asynchronous signals sent to use by [t]kill(). This is not strictly required semantics, but it makes it _much_ easier for programs like Wine that expect to find the fault information in the signal stack. Without this, if a non-synchronous signal gets picked first, the delayed asynchronous signal will have its signal context pointing to the new signal invocation, rather than the instruction that caused the SIGSEGV or SIGBUS in the first place. This is not all that pretty, and we're discussing making the synchronous signals more explicit rather than have these kinds of implicit preferences of SIGSEGV and friends. See for example http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15395 for some of the discussion. But in the meantime this is a simple and fairly straightforward work-around, and the whole if (x & Y) x &= Y; thing can be compiled into (and gcc does do it) just three instructions: movq %rdx, %rax andl $Y, %eax cmovne %rax, %rdx so it is at least a simple solution to a subtle issue.

2010-03-03init: Open /dev/console from rootfsEric W. Biederman
To avoid potential problems with an empty /dev open /dev/console from rootfs instead of waiting to mount our root filesystem and mounting it there. This effectively guarantees that there will be a device node, and it won't be on a filesystem that we will ever unmount, so there are no issues with leaving /dev/console open and pinning the filesystem. This is actually more effective than automatically mounting devtmpfs on /dev because it removes removes the occasionally problematic assumption that /dev/console exists from the boot code. With this patch I was able to throw busybox on my /boot partition (which has no /dev directory) and boot into userspace without problems. The only possible negative consequence I can think of is that someone out there deliberately used did not use a character device that is major 5 minor 2 for /dev/console. Does anyone know of a situation in which that could make sense? Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
