[PATCH] Fix kdump Crash Kernel boot memory reservation for NUMA machines
This patch will fix a boot memory reservation bug that trashes memory on

The code in arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c to reserve boot memory for the crash
kernel uses the non-numa aware "reserve_bootmem" function instead of the
NUMA aware "reserve_bootmem_generic". I checked to make sure that no other
function was using "reserve_bootmem" and found none, except the ones that
had NUMA ifdef'ed out.

[PATCH] pacct: none-delayed process accounting accumulation
In current 2.6.17 implementation, signal_struct refered from task_struct is
used for per-process data structure. The pacct facility also uses it as a
per-process data structure to store stime, utime, minflt, majflt. But those
members are saved in __exit_signal(). It's too late.
For example, if some threads exits at same time, pacct facility has a
possibility to drop accountings for a part of those threads. (see, the
following 'The results of original 2.6.17 kernel') I think accounting
information should be completely collected into the per-process data structure
before writing out an accounting record.
This patch fixes this matter. Accumulation of stime, utime, minflt and majflt
are done before generating accounting record.

When pacct facility generate an 'ac_flag' field in accounting record, it
refers a task_struct of the thread which died last in the process. But any

Therefore, pacct facility drops ASU flag even if root-privilege operations are
used by any other threads except the last one. In addition, AFORK flag is
always set when the thread of group-leader didn't die last, although this
process has called execve() after fork().
We have a same matter in ac_exitcode. The recorded ac_exitcode is an exit
code of the last thread in the process. There is a possibility this exitcode
is not the group leader's one.

But acct_process() is called in the killed processes context before calling

This change allows callers to use a 0-byte buffer and a NULL buffer pointer
with vsnprintf, so it can be used to determine how large the resulting

Previously the code effectively treated a size of 0 as a size of 4G (on
32-bit systems), with other checks preventing it from actually trying to
emit the string - but the terminal \0 would still be written, which would
crash if the buffer is NULL.
This change changes the boundary check so that 'end' points to the putative
location of the terminal '\0', which is only written if size > 0.
vsnprintf still allows the buffer size to be set very large, to allow
unbounded buffer sizes (to implement sprintf, etc).

When the linkat() syscall was added the flag parameter was added in the

If OLDNAME is a symlink setting the flag causes linkat to follow the
symlink and create a hardlink with the target. This is actually the
behavior POSIX demands for link() as well but Linux wisely does not do
this. With this flag (which will most likely be in the next POSIX
revision) the programmer can choose the behavior, defaulting to the safe
variant. As a side effect it is now possible to implement a
POSIX-compliant link(2) function for those who are interested.

[PATCH] fuse: scramble lock owner ID
VFS uses current->files pointer as lock owner ID, and it wouldn't be
prudent to expose this value to userspace. So scramble it with XTEA using

The XTEA algorithm is implemented inline since it's simple enough to do so,

filesystem connection
- does not suffer from module unload race

[PATCH] readahead: backoff on I/O error
Backoff readahead size exponentially on I/O error.
Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> described the problem as:
[QUOTE]
Suppose there's a CD-rom with a scratch/etc, one sector is unreadable.
In order to "fix" it, one have to read it and write to another CD-rom,
or something.. or just ignore the error (if it's just a skip in a video
stream). Let's assume the unreadable block is number U.
But current behavior is just insane. An application requests block
number N, which is before U. Kernel tries to read-ahead blocks N..U.
Cdrom drive tries to read it, re-read it.. for some time. Finally,
when all the N..U-1 blocks are read, kernel returns block number N
(as requested) to an application, successefully.
Now an app requests block number N+1, and kernel tries to read
blocks N+1..U+1. Retrying again as in previous step.
And so on, up to when an app requests block number U-1. And when,
finally, it requests block U, it receives read error.
So, kernel currentry tries to re-read the same failing block as
many times as the current readahead value (256 (times?) by default).
This whole process already killed my cdrom drive (I posted about it
to LKML several months ago) - literally, the drive has fried, and
does not work anymore. Ofcourse that problem was a bug in firmware
(or whatever) of the drive *too*, but.. main problem with that is
current readahead logic as described above.

For ide-cd, it tends do only end the first part of the request on a

[PATCH] ftruncate does not always update m/ctime
In the course of trying to track down a bug where a file mtime was not
being updated correctly, it was discovered that the m/ctime updates were
not quite being handled correctly for ftruncate() calls.
Quoth SUSv3:
open(2):
If O_TRUNC is set and the file did previously exist, upon
successful completion, open() shall mark for update the st_ctime
and st_mtime fields of the file.
truncate(2):
Upon successful completion, if the file size is changed, this
function shall mark for update the st_ctime and st_mtime fields
of the file, and the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits of the file mode
may be cleared.
ftruncate(2):
Upon successful completion, if fildes refers to a regular file,
the ftruncate() function shall mark for update the st_ctime and
st_mtime fields of the file and the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits of
the file mode may be cleared. If the ftruncate() function is
unsuccessful, the file is unaffected.
The open(O_TRUNC) and truncate cases were being handled correctly, but the
ftruncate case was being handled like the truncate case. The semantics of
truncate and ftruncate don't quite match, so ftruncate needs to be handled
slightly differently.
The attached patch addresses this issue for ftruncate(2).

understanding the situation and semantics.

[PATCH] N32 sigset and __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__
I'm testing glibc on MIPS64, little-endian, N32, O32 and N64 multilibs.
Among the NPTL test failures seen are some arising from sigsuspend problems
for N32: it blocks the wrong signals, so SIGCANCEL (SIGRTMIN) is blocked
despite glibc's carefully excluding it from sets of signals to block.
Specifically, testing suggests it blocks signal N^32 instead of signal N,
so (in the example tested) blocking SIGUSR1 (17) blocks signal 49 instead.
glibc's sigset_t uses an array of unsigned long, as does the kernel.
In both cases, signal N+1 is represented as
(1UL << (N % (8 * sizeof (unsigned long)))) in word number
(N / (8 * sizeof (unsigned long))).
Thus the N32 glibc uses an array of 32-bit words and the N64 kernel uses an
array of 64-bit words. For little-endian, the layout is the same, with
signals 1-32 in the first 4 bytes, signals 33-64 in the second, etc.; for
big-endian, userspace has that layout while in the kernel each 8 bytes have
the two halves swapped from the userspace layout.
The N32 sigsuspend syscall uses sigset_from_compat to convert the userspace
sigset to kernel format. If __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__ is *not* set, this uses
logic of the form
set->sig[0] = compat->sig[0] | (((long)compat->sig[1]) << 32 )
to convert the userspace sigset to a kernel one. This looks correct to me
for both big and little endian, given that in userspace compat->sig[1] will
represent signals 33-64, and so will the high 32 bits of set->sig[0] in the
kernel. If however __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__ *is* set, as it is for
__MIPSEL__, it uses
set->sig[0] = compat->sig[1] | (((long)compat->sig[0]) << 32 );
which seems incorrect for both big and little endian, and would
explain the observed symptoms.
This code is the only use of __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__, so if incorrect
then that macro serves no purpose, in which case something like the
following patch would seem appropriate to remove it.

[PATCH] epoll: use unlocked wqueue operations
A few days ago Arjan signaled a lockdep red flag on epoll locks, and
precisely between the epoll's device structure lock (->lock) and the wait
queue head lock (->lock).
Like I explained in another email, and directly to Arjan, this can't happen
in reality because of the explicit check at eventpoll.c:592, that does not
allow to drop an epoll fd inside the same epoll fd. Since lockdep is
working on per-structure locks, it will never be able to know of policies
enforced in other parts of the code.
It was decided time ago of having the ability to drop epoll fds inside
other epoll fds, that triggers a very trick wakeup operations (due to
possibly reentrant callback-driven wakeups) handled by the
ep_poll_safewake() function. While looking again at the code though, I
noticed that all the operations done on the epoll's main structure wait
queue head (->wq) are already protected by the epoll lock (->lock), so that
locked-style functions can be used to manipulate the ->wq member. This
makes both a lock-acquire save, and lockdep happy.
