ocfs2: fix i_mutex locking in ocfs2_splice_to_file()

2009-05-20T05:20:15+00:00

commit 328eaaba4e41a04c1dc4679d65bea3fee4349d86 upstream. Rearrange locking of i_mutex on destination and call to ocfs2_rw_lock() so locks are only held while buffers are copied with the pipe_to_file() actor, and not while waiting for more data on the pipe.

splice: fix i_mutex locking in generic_splice_write()

2009-05-20T05:20:15+00:00

commit eb443e5a25d43996deb62b9bcee1a4ce5dea2ead upstream. Rearrange locking of i_mutex on destination so it's only held while buffers are copied with the pipe_to_file() actor, and not while waiting for more data on the pipe.

splice: remove i_mutex locking in splice_from_pipe()

2009-05-20T05:20:15+00:00

commit 2933970b960223076d6affcf7a77e2bc546b8102 upstream. splice_from_pipe() is only called from two places: - generic_splice_sendpage() - splice_write_null() Neither of these require i_mutex to be taken on the destination inode.

splice: split up __splice_from_pipe()

2009-05-20T05:20:14+00:00

commit b3c2d2ddd63944ef2a1e4a43077b602288107e01 upstream. Split up __splice_from_pipe() into four helper functions: splice_from_pipe_begin() splice_from_pipe_next() splice_from_pipe_feed() splice_from_pipe_end() splice_from_pipe_next() will wait (if necessary) for more buffers to be added to the pipe. splice_from_pipe_feed() will feed the buffers to the supplied actor and return when there's no more data available (or if all of the requested data has been copied). This is necessary so that implementations can do locking around the non-waiting splice_from_pipe_feed(). This patch should not cause any change in behavior.

powerpc/5200: Don't specify IRQF_SHARED in PSC UART driver

2009-05-20T05:20:14+00:00

commit d9f0c5f9bc74f16d0ea0f6c518b209e48783a796 upstream. The MPC5200 PSC device is wired up to a dedicated interrupt line which is never shared. This patch removes the IRQF_SHARED flag from the request_irq() call which eliminates the "IRQF_DISABLED is not guaranteed on shared IRQs" warning message from the console output.

ehea: fix invalid pointer access

2009-05-20T05:20:14+00:00

commit 0b2febf38a33d7c40fb7bb4a58c113a1fa33c412 upstream. This patch fixes an invalid pointer access in case the receive queue holds no pointer to the next skb when the queue is empty.

NFS: Fix the notifications when renaming onto an existing file

2009-05-20T05:20:14+00:00

commit b1e4adf4ea41bb8b5a7bfc1a7001f137e65495df upstream. NFS appears to be returning an unnecessary "delete" notification when we're doing an atomic rename. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575684 The fix is to get rid of the redundant call to d_delete(). Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

nfsd4: check for negative dentry before use in nfsv4 readdir

2009-05-20T05:20:14+00:00

commit b2c0cea6b1cb210e962f07047df602875564069e upstream. After 2f9092e1020246168b1309b35e085ecd7ff9ff72 "Fix i_mutex vs. readdir handling in nfsd" (and 14f7dd63 "Copy XFS readdir hack into nfsd code"), an entry may be removed between the first mutex_unlock and the second mutex_lock. In this case, lookup_one_len() will return a negative dentry. Check for this case to avoid a NULL dereference. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields Reviewed-by: J. R.

epoll: fix size check in epoll_create()

commit bfe3891a5f5d3b78146a45f40e435d14f5ae39dd upstream. Fix a size check WRT the manual pages. This was inadvertently broken by commit 9fe5ad9c8cef9ad5873d8ee55d1cf00d9b607df0 ("flag parameters add-on: remove epoll_create size param").
