This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6a6d0f59803b3ef04ff3c22c3844c10. The approach
there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in
order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses.
This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks:

*. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise
   dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat)
   and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter.
*. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing
   table, which might be unnecessary.

The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast
addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.

ixgbe: Properly disable packet split per-ring when globally disabled

The packet split feature was recently moved out of the adapter-wide flags
feature field and into a per-Rx ring feature field.  In the process, packet
split isn't properly disabled in the Rx ring if the adapter has it globally
disabled, followed by a device reset.

This won't impact the driver today, since it's always in packet split mode.
However, this will prevent any pitfalls if someone disables packet split on
the adapter in the future and doesn't disable it in each ring.

iwlwifi: fix potential rx buffer loss

RX handling maintains a few lists that keep track of the RX buffers.
Buffers move from one list to the other as they are used, replenished, and
again made available for usage. In one such instance, when a buffer is used
it enters the "rx_used" list. When buffers are replenished an skb is
attached to the buffer and it is moved to the "rx_free" list. The problem
here is that the buffer is first removed from the "rx_used" list _before_ the
skb is allocated. Thus, if the skb allocation fails this buffer remains
removed from the "rx_used" list and is thus lost for future usage.

Fix this by first allocating the skb before trying to attach it to a list.

15 years agofsync: wait for data writeout completion before calling ->fsync
Christoph Hellwig [Thu, 3 Sep 2009 10:39:39 +0000 (12:39 +0200)]
fsync: wait for data writeout completion before calling ->fsync

Currenly vfs_fsync(_range) first calls filemap_fdatawrite to write out
the data, the calls into ->fsync to write out the metadata and then finally
calls filemap_fdatawait to wait for the data I/O to complete.  What sounds
like a clever micro-optimization actually is nast trap for many filesystems.

For many modern filesystems i_size or other inode information is only
updated on I/O completion and we need to wait for I/O to finish before
we can write out the metadata.  For old fashionen filesystems that
instanciate blocks during the actual write and also update the metadata
at that point it opens up a large window were we could expose uninitialized
blocks after a crash.  While a few filesystems that need it already wait
for the I/O to finish inside their ->fsync methods it is rather suboptimal
as it is done under the i_mutex and also always for the whole file instead
of just a part as we could do for O_SYNC handling.

Here is a small audit of all fsync instances in the tree:

 - spufs_mfc_fsync:
 - ps3flash_fsync:
 - vol_cdev_fsync:
 - printer_fsync:
 - fb_deferred_io_fsync:
 - bad_file_fsync:
 - simple_sync_file:

don't care - filesystems/drivers do't use the page cache or are
purely in-memory.

 - simple_fsync:
 - file_fsync:
 - affs_file_fsync:
 - fat_file_fsync:
 - jfs_fsync:
 - ubifs_fsync:
 - reiserfs_dir_fsync:
 - reiserfs_sync_file:

never touch pagecache themselves.  We need to wait before if we do
not want to expose stale data after an allocation.

 - afs_fsync:
 - fuse_fsync_common:

do the waiting writeback itself in awkward ways, would benefit from
proper semantics

 - block_fsync:

Does a filemap_write_and_wait on the block device inode.  Because we
now have f_mapping that is the same inode we call it on in vfs_fsync.
So just removing it and letting the VFS do the work in one go would
be an improvement.

 - btrfs_sync_file:
 - cifs_fsync:
 - xfs_file_fsync:

need the wait first and currently do it themselves. would benefit from
doing it outside i_mutex.

 - coda_fsync:
 - ecryptfs_fsync:
 - exofs_file_fsync:
 - shm_fsync:

only passes the fsync through to the lower layer

 - ext3_sync_file:

doesn't seem to care, comments are confusing.

 - ext4_sync_file:

would need the wait to work correctly for delalloc mode with late
i_size updates.  Otherwise the ext3 comment applies.

currently implemens it's own writeback and wait in an odd way,
could benefit from doing it properly.

 - gfs2_fsync:

not needed for journaled data mode, but probably harmless there.
Currently writes back data asynchronously itself.  Needs some
major audit.

 - hostfs_fsync:

just calls fsync/datasync on the host FD.  Without the wait before
data might not even be inflight yet if we're unlucky.

 - hpfs_file_fsync:
 - ncp_fsync:

no-ops.  Dangerous before and after.

 - jffs2_fsync:

just calls jffs2_flush_wbuf_gc, not sure how this relates to data.

 - nfs_fsync_dir:

just increments stats, claims all directory operations are synchronous

 - nfs_file_fsync:

only writes out data???  Looks very odd.

 - nilfs_sync_file:

looks like it expects all data done, but not sure from the code

 - ntfs_dir_fsync:
 - ntfs_file_fsync:

appear to do their own data writeback.  Very convoluted code.

 - ocfs2_sync_file:

does it's own data writeback, but no wait.  probably needs the wait.

 - smb_fsync:

according to a comment expects all pages written already, probably needs
the wait before.

This patch only changes vfs_fsync_range, removal of the wait in the methods
that have it is left to the filesystem maintainers.  Note that most
filesystems really do need an audit for their fsync methods given the
gems found in this very brief audit.

fs/Kconfig: move nilfs2 outside misc filesystems

Some people asked me questions like the following:

Actually, nilfs is NOT a filesystem came from other operating systems,
but a filesystem created purely for Linux.  Nor is it a flash
filesystem but that for generic block devices.

So, this moves nilfs outside the misc category as I responded in LKML

nilfs2: convert nilfs_bmap_lookup to an inline function

The nilfs_bmap_lookup() is now a wrapper function of

This moves the nilfs_bmap_lookup() to a header file converting it to
an inline function and gives an opportunity for optimization.

15 years agonilfs2: allow btree code to directly call dat operations

nilfs2: allow btree code to directly call dat operations

The current btree code is written so that btree functions call dat
operations via wrapper functions in bmap.c when they allocate, free,
or modify virtual block addresses.

This abstraction requires additional function calls and causes
frequent call of nilfs_bmap_get_dat() function since it is used in the
every wrapper function.

This removes the wrapper functions and makes them available from
btree.c and direct.c, which will increase the opportunity of
compiler optimization.
