[PATCH] Kill PF_SYNCWRITE flag

A process flag to indicate whether we are doing sync io is incredibly
ugly. It also causes performance problems when one does a lot of async
io and then proceeds to sync it. Part of the io will go out as async,
and the other part as sync. This causes a disconnect between the
previously submitted io and the synced io. For io schedulers such as CFQ,
this will cause us lost merges and suboptimal behaviour in scheduling.

Remove PF_SYNCWRITE completely from the fsync/msync paths, and let
the O_DIRECT path just directly indicate that the writes are sync
by using WRITE_SYNC instead.

[PATCH] drivers/block/loop.c: don't return garbage if LOOP_SET_STATUS not called

While writing a version of losetup, I ran into the problem that the loop
device was returning total garbage.

It turns out the problem was that this losetup was only issuing the
LOOP_SET_FD ioctl and not issuing a subsequent LOOP_SET_STATUS ioctl.  This
losetup didn't have any special status to set, so it left out the call.

The deeper cause is that loop_set_fd sets the transfer function to NULL,
which causes no transfer to happen lo_do_transfer.

This patch fixes the problem by setting transfer to transfer_none in
loop_set_fd.

[PATCH] make kernel warn about incorrectly sized partitions

Sometimes partitions claim to be larger than the reported capacity of a
disk device.  This patch makes the kernel warn about those partitions.

We still permit these patitions to be used.  Quoting Andries Brouwer
<Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>:

 Case 1: The kernel is mistaken about the size of the disk.  (There are
 commands to clip a disk to a certain capacity, there are jumpers to tell a
 disk that it should report a certain capacity etc.  Usually this is because
 of BIOS bugs.  In bad cases the machine will crash in the BIOS and hence fail
 to boot if the disk reports full capacity.) In such cases actually accessing
 the blocks of the partition may work fine, or may work fine after running an
 unclip utility.  I wrote "setmax" some years ago precisely for this reason.

 Case 2: There was a messy partition table (maybe just a rounding error) but
 the actual filesystem on the partition is contained in the physical disk.
 Now using the filesystem goes without problem.

 Case 3: Both partition and filesystem extend beyond the end of the disk.  In
 forensic or debugging situations one often uses a copy of the start of a
 disk.  Now access beyond the end gives an expected I/O error.

Without that change we may use `mapped' uninitialized if, in cs_ioctl, the

[PATCH] jbd: fix BUG in journal_commit_transaction()

Fix possible assertion failure in journal_commit_transaction() on
jh->b_next_transaction == NULL (when we are processing BJ_Forget list and
buffer is not jbddirty).

!jbddirty buffers can be placed on BJ_Forget list for example by
journal_forget() or by __dispose_buffer() - generally such buffer means
that it has been freed by this transaction.

Freed buffers should not be reallocated until the transaction has committed
(that's why we have the assertion there) but they *can* be reallocated when
the transaction has already been committed to disk and we are just
processing the BJ_Forget list (as soon as we remove b_committed_data from
the bitmap bh, ext3 will be able to reallocate buffers freed by the
committing transaction).  So we have to also count with the case that the
buffer has been reallocated and b_next_transaction has been already set.

And one more subtle point: it can happen that we manage to reallocate the
buffer and also mark it jbddirty.  Then we also add the freed buffer to the
checkpoint list of the committing trasaction.  But that should do no harm.

Non-jbddirty buffers should be filed to BJ_Reserved and not BJ_Metadata
list.  It can actually happen that we refile such buffers during the commit
phase when we reallocate in the running transaction blocks deleted in
committing transaction (and that can happen if the committing transaction
already wrote all the data and is just cleaning up BJ_Forget list).

[PATCH] ptrace: document the locking rules

After a lot of reading the code and thinking about how it behaves I have
managed to figure out what the current ptrace locking rules are.  The
current code is in much better that it appears at first glance.  The
troublesome code paths are actually the code paths that violate the current
rules.

ptrace uses simple exclusive access as it's locking.  You can only touch
task->ptrace if the task is stopped and you are the ptracer, or if the task
is running and are the task itself.

Very simple, very easy to maintain.  It just needs to be documented so
people know not to touch ptrace from elsewhere.

Currently we do have a few pieces of code that are in violation of this
rule.  Particularly the core dump code, and ptrace_attach.  But so far the
code looks fixable.

[PATCH] locks: don't unnecessarily fail posix lock operations

posix_lock_file() was too cautious, failing operations on OOM, even if they
didn't actually require an allocation.

This has the disadvantage, that a failing unlock on process exit could lead to
a memory leak.  There are two possibilites for this:

- filesystem implements .lock() and calls back to posix_lock_file().  On
cleanup of files_struct locks_remove_posix() is called which should remove all
locks belonging to files_struct.  However if filesystem calls
posix_lock_file() which fails, then those locks will never be freed.

- if a file is closed while a lock is blocked, then after acquiring
fcntl_setlk() will undo the lock.  But this unlock itself might fail on OOM,
again possibly leaking the lock.

The solution is to move the checking of the allocations until after it is sure
that they will be needed.  This will solve the above problem since unlock will
always succeed unless it splits an existing region.

[PATCH] s390_hypfs filesystem

On zSeries machines there exists an interface which allows the operating
system to retrieve LPAR hypervisor accounting data.  For example, it is
possible to get usage data for physical and virtual cpus.  In order to
provide this information to user space programs, I implemented a new
virtual Linux file system named 's390_hypfs' using the Linux 2.6 libfs
framework.  The name 's390_hypfs' stands for 'S390 Hypervisor Filesystem'.
All the accounting information is put into different virtual files which
can be accessed from user space.  All data is represented as ASCII strings.

When the file system is mounted the accounting information is retrieved and
a file system tree is created with the attribute files containing the cpu
information.  The content of the files remains unchanged until a new update
is made.  An update can be triggered from user space through writing
'something' into a special purpose update file.

We create the following directory structure:

<mount-point>/
        update
        cpus/
                <cpu-id>
                        type
                        mgmtime
                <cpu-id>

        hyp/
                type
        systems/

                        cpus/
                                <cpu-id>
                                        type
                                        mgmtime
                                        cputime
                                        onlinetime
                                <cpu-id>
                                        ...
                <lpar-name>
                        cpus/
                                ...

- update: File to trigger update
- cpus/: Directory for all physical cpus
- cpus/<cpu-id>/: Directory for one physical cpu.
- cpus/<cpu-id>/type: Type name of physical zSeries cpu.
- cpus/<cpu-id>/mgmtime: Physical-LPAR-management time in microseconds.
- hyp/: Directory for hypervisor information
- hyp/type: Typ of hypervisor (currently only 'LPAR Hypervisor')
- systems/: Directory for all LPARs
- systems/<lpar-name>/: Directory for one LPAR.
- systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/: Directory for the virtual cpus
- systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/type: Typ of cpu.
- systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/mgmtime:
Accumulated number of microseconds during which a physical
CPU was assigned to the logical cpu and the cpu time was
consumed by the hypervisor and was not provided to
the LPAR (LPAR overhead).

- systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/cputime:
Accumulated number of microseconds during which a physical CPU
was assigned to the logical cpu and the cpu time was consumed
by the LPAR.

- systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/onlinetime:
Accumulated number of microseconds during which the logical CPU
has been online.

As mount point for the filesystem /sys/hypervisor/s390 is created.

The update process is triggered when writing 'something' into the
'update' file at the top level hypfs directory. You can do this e.g.
with 'echo 1 > update'. During the update the whole directory structure
is deleted and built up again.

Rafael J. Wysocki [Fri, 23 Jun 2006 09:04:48 +0000 (02:04 -0700)]
[PATCH] swsusp: use less memory during resume

Make swsusp allocate only as much memory as needed to store the image data
and metadata during resume.

Without this patch swsusp additionally allocates many page frames that will
conflict with the "original" locations of the image data and are considered
as "unsafe", treating them as "eaten" pages (ie.  allocated but unusable).

The patch makes swsusp allocate as many pages as it'll need to store the
data read from the image in one shot, creating a list of allocated "safe"
pages, and use the observation that all pages allocated by it are marked
with the PG_nosave and PG_nosave_free flags set.   Namely, when it's about
to load an image page, swsusp can check whether the page frame
corresponding to the "original" location of this page has been allocated
(ie.  if the page frame has the PG_nosave and PG_nosave_free flags set) and
if so, it can load the page directly into this page frame.   Otherwise it
uses an allocated "safe" page from the list to store the data that will be
copied to their "original" location later on.

This allows us to save many page copyings and page allocations during
resume and in the future it may allow us to load images greater than 50% of
the normal zone.
