730c213c79 ext4: use percpu data structures for lg_prealloc_list
lg_prealloc_list seems to cry out for a per-cpu data structure; on a large
smp system I think this should be better.  I've lightly tested this change
on a 4-cpu system.

8eea80d52b ext4: Renumber EXT4_IOC_MIGRATE
Pick an ioctl number for EXT4_IOC_MIGRATE that won't conflict with
other ext4 ioctl's.  Since there haven't been any major userspace
users of this ioctl, we can afford to change this now, to avoid
potential problems later.

Also, reorder the ioctl numbers in ext4.h to avoid this sort of
mistake in the future.

4db46fc266 ext4: hook the ext3 migration interface to the EXT4_IOC_SETFLAGS ioctl
This patch hooks the ext3 to ext4 migrate interface to
EXT4_IOC_SETFLAGS ioctl. The userspace interface is via chattr +e.  We
only allow setting extent flags.  Clearing extent flag (migrating from
ext4 to ext3) is not supported.

05496769e5 jbd2: clean up how the journal device name is printed
Calculate the journal device name once and stash it away in the
journal_s structure.  This avoids needing to call bdevname()
everywhere and reduces stack usage by not needing to allocate an
on-stack buffer.  In addition, we eliminate the '/' that can appear in
device names (e.g. "cciss/c0d0p9" --- see kernel bugzilla #11321) that
can cause problems when creating proc directory names, and include the
inode number to support ocfs2 which creates multiple journals with
different inode numbers.

899fc1a4cf ext4: fix #11321: create /proc/ext4/*/stats more carefully
ext4 creates per-suberblock directory in /proc/ext4/ . Name used as
basis is taken from bdevname, which, surprise, can contain slash.

However, proc while allowing to use proc_create("a/b", parent) form of
PDE creation, assumes that parent/a was already created.

bdevname in question is 'cciss/c0d0p9', directory is not created and all
this stuff goes directly into /proc (which is real bug).

Warning comes when _second_ partition is mounted.

9d9f177572 ext4: Avoid printk floods in the face of directory corruption
Note: some people thinks this represents a security bug, since it
might make the system go away while it is printing a large number of
console messages, especially if a serial console is involved.  Hence,
it has been assigned CVE-2008-3528, but it requires that the attacker
either has physical access to your machine to insert a USB disk with a
corrupted filesystem image (at which point why not just hit the power
button), or is otherwise able to convince the system administrator to
mount an arbitrary filesystem image (at which point why not just
include a setuid shell or world-writable hard disk device file or some
such).  Me, I think they're just being silly. --tytso

cf17fea657 ext4: Properly update i_disksize.
With delayed allocation we use i_data_sem to update i_disksize.  We need
to update i_disksize only if the new size specified is greater than the
current value and we need to make sure we don't race with other
i_disksize update.  With delayed allocation we will switch to the
write_begin function for non-delayed allocation if we are low on free
blocks.  This means the write_begin function for non-delayed allocation
also needs to use the same locking.

We also need to check and update i_disksize even if the new size is less
that inode.i_size because of delayed allocation.

68629f29c6 ext4: Fix ext4 nomballoc allocator for ENOSPC
We run into ENOSPC error on nonmballoc ext4, even when there is free blocks
on the filesystem.

The patch includes two changes:

a) Set reservation to NULL if we trying to allocate near group_target_block
from the goal group if the free block in the group is less than windows.
This should give us a better chance to allocate near group_target_block.
This also ensures that if we are not allocating near group_target_block
then we don't trun off reservation. This should enable us to allocate
with reservation from other groups that have large free blocks count.

b) we don't need to check the window size if the block reservation is off.

a30d542a00 ext4: Make sure all the block allocation paths reserve blocks
With delayed allocation we need to make sure block are reserved before
we attempt to allocate them. Otherwise we get block allocation failure
(ENOSPC) during writepages which cannot be handled. This would mean
silent data loss (We do a printk stating data will be lost). This patch
updates the DIO and fallocate code path to do block reservation before
block allocation. This is needed to make sure parallel DIO and fallocate
request doesn't take block out of delayed reserve space.

When free blocks count go below a threshold we switch to a slow patch
which looks at other CPU's accumulated percpu counter values.

efc968d450 Don't allow splice() to files opened with O_APPEND
This is debatable, but while we're debating it, let's disallow the
combination of splice and an O_APPEND destination.

It's not entirely clear what the semantics of O_APPEND should be, and
POSIX apparently expects pwrite() to ignore O_APPEND, for example.  So
we could make up any semantics we want, including the old ones.

But Miklos convinced me that we should at least give it some thought,
and that accepting writes at arbitrary offsets is wrong at least for
IS_APPEND() files (which always have O_APPEND set, even if the reverse
isn't true: you can obviously have O_APPEND set on a regular file).

So disallow O_APPEND entirely for now.  I doubt anybody cares, and this
way we have one less gray area to worry about.

58ec3b4db9 net: Fix netdev_run_todo dead-lock
Benjamin Thery tracked down a bug that explains many instances
of the error

unregister_netdevice: waiting for %s to become free. Usage count = %d

It turns out that netdev_run_todo can dead-lock with itself if
a second instance of it is run in a thread that will then free
a reference to the device waited on by the first instance.

The problem is really quite silly.  We were trying to create
parallelism where none was required.  As netdev_run_todo always
follows a RTNL section, and that todo tasks can only be added
with the RTNL held, by definition you should only need to wait
for the very ones that you've added and be done with it.

There is no need for a second mutex or spinlock.

This is exactly what the following patch does.

When TCP receive copy offload is enabled it's possible that
tcp_rcv_established() will cause two acks to be sent for a single
packet. In the case that a tcp_dma_early_copy() is successful,
copied_early is set to true which causes tcp_cleanup_rbuf() to be
called early which can send an ack. Further along in
tcp_rcv_established(), __tcp_ack_snd_check() is called and will
schedule a delayed ACK. If no packets are processed before the delayed
ack timer expires the packet will be acked twice.

b6c40d68ff net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP
Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk> reported a bug when setting a VLAN
device down that is in promiscous mode:

When the VLAN device is set down, the promiscous count on the real
device is decremented by one by vlan_dev_stop(). When removing the
promiscous flag from the VLAN device afterwards, the promiscous
count on the real device is decremented a second time by the
vlan_change_rx_flags() callback.

The root cause for this is that the ->change_rx_flags() callback is
invoked while the device is down. The synchronization is meant to mirror
the behaviour of the ->set_rx_mode callbacks, meaning the ->open function
is responsible for doing a full sync on open, the ->close() function is
responsible for doing full cleanup on ->stop() and ->change_rx_flags()
is meant to do incremental changes while the device is UP.

Only invoke ->change_rx_flags() while the device is UP to provide the
intended behaviour.

85ba94ba05 SLOB: fix bogus ksize calculation
SLOB's ksize calculation was braindamaged and generally harmlessly
underreported the allocation size. But for very small buffers, it could
in fact overreport them, leading code depending on krealloc to overrun
the allocation and trample other data.

e09e6e2b6a Revert "V4L/DVB (8904): cx88: add missing unlock_kernel"
This reverts commit 135aedc38e, as
requested by Hans Verkuil.

It was a patch for 2.6.28 where the BKL was pushed down from v4l core to
the drivers, not for 2.6.27!

I think the problem comes from "markers: fix duplicate modpost entry"
(commit d35cb360c2)

Especially :

  -   add_marker(mod, marker, fmt);
  +   if (!mod->skip)
  +     add_marker(mod, marker, fmt);
    }
    return;
   fail:

Here is a fix that should take care if this problem.

Thanks for the bug report!
