2011-03-16Increase OSF partition limit from 8 to 18Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
It turns out that while a maximum of 8 partitions may be what people "should" have had, you can actually fit up to 18 entries(*) in a sector. And some people clearly were taking advantage of that, like Michael Cree, who had ten partitions on one of his OSF disks. (*) The OSF partition data starts at byte offset 64 in the first sector, and the array of 16-byte partition entries start at offset 148 in the on-disk partition structure.

2011-03-16prune back iprune_semChristoph Hellwig1-18/+14
iprune_sem is continously giving us lockdep warnings because we do take it in read mode in the reclaim path, but we're also doing non-NOFS allocations under it taken in write mode. Taking a bit deeper look at it I think it's fixable quite trivially: - for invalidate_inodes we do not need iprune_sem at all. We have an active reference on the superblock, so the filesystem is not going away until it has finished. - for evict_inodes we do need it, to make sure prune_icache has done it's work before we tear down the superblock. But there is no reason to hold it over the actual reclaim operation - it's enough to cycle through it after the actual reclaim to make sure we wait for any pending prune_icache to complete. We just have to remove the WARN_ON for otherwise busy inodes as they can actually happen now. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2011-03-16x86, AMD: Set ARAT feature on AMD processorsBoris Ostrovsky1-0/+4
Support for Always Running APIC timer (ARAT) was introduced in commit db954b5898dd3ef3ef93f4144158ea8f97deb058. This feature allows us to avoid switching timers from LAPIC to something else (e.g. HPET) and go into timer broadcasts when entering deep C-states. AMD processors don't provide a CPUID bit for that feature but they also keep APIC timers running in deep C-states (except for cases when the processor is affected by erratum 400). Therefore we should set ARAT feature bit on AMD CPUs.

2011-03-16x86, quirk: Fix SB600 revision checkAndreas Herrmann1-1/+6
Commit 7f74f8f28a2bd9db9404f7d364e2097a0c42cc12 (x86 quirk: Fix polarity for IRQ0 pin2 override on SB800 systems) introduced a regression. It removed some SB600 specific code to determine the revision ID without adapting a corresponding revision ID check for SB600. See this mail thread: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129980296006380&w=2 This patch adapts the corresponding check to cover all SB600 revisions.

2011-03-16VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression in kernel 2.6.38Trond Myklebust1-1/+6
The new vfs locking scheme introduced in 2.6.38 breaks NFS sillyrename because the latter relies on being able to determine the parent directory of the dentry in the ->iput() callback in order to send the appropriate unlink rpc call. Looking at the code that cares about races with dput(), there doesn't seem to be anything that specifically uses d_parent as a test for whether or not there is a race: - __d_lookup_rcu(), __d_lookup() all test for d_hashed() after d_parent - shrink_dcache_for_umount() is safe since nothing else can rearrange the dentries in that super block. - have_submount(), select_parent() and d_genocide() can test for a deletion if we set the DCACHE_DISCONNECTED flag when the dentry is removed from the parent's d_subdirs list.

2011-03-16Turn resolution of trailing symlinks iterative everywhereAl Viro1-54/+50
The last remaining place (resolution of nested symlink) converted to the loop of the same kind we have in path_lookupat() and path_openat(). Note that we still *do* have a recursion in pathname resolution; can't avoid it, really. However, it's strictly for nested symlinks now - i.e. ones in the middle of a pathname. link_path_walk() has lost the tail now - it always walks everything except the last component. do_follow_link() renamed to nested_symlink() and moved down.

Now that link_path_walk() is called without LOOKUP_PARENT only from do_follow_link(), we can simplify the checks in last component handling. First of all, checking if we'd arrived to a directory is not needed - the caller will check it anyway. And LOOKUP_FOLLOW is guaranteed to be there, since we only get to that place with nd->depth > 0.

2011-03-15perf probe: Clean up probe_point_lazy_walker() return valueIngo Molnar1-1/+1
Newer compilers (gcc 4.6) complains about: return ret < 0 ?: 0; For the following reason: util/probe-finder.c: In function ‘probe_point_lazy_walker’: util/probe-finder.c:1331:18: error: the omitted middle operand in ?: will always be ‘true’, suggest explicit middle operand [-Werror=parentheses] And indeed the return value is a somewhat obscure (but correct) value of 'true', so return 'ret' instead - this is cleaner and unconfuses GCC as well.

2011-03-15x86: stop_machine_text_poke() should issue sync_core()Mathieu Desnoyers1-1/+6
Intel Archiecture Software Developer's Manual section 7.1.3 specifies that a core serializing instruction such as "cpuid" should be executed on _each_ core before the new instruction is made visible. Failure to do so can lead to unspecified behavior (Intel XMC erratas include General Protection Fault in the list), so we should avoid this at all cost. This problem can affect modified code executed by interrupt handlers after interrupt are re-enabled at the end of stop_machine, because no core serializing instruction is executed between the code modification and the moment interrupts are reenabled. Because stop_machine_text_poke performs the text modification from the first CPU decrementing stop_machine_first, modified code executed in thread context is also affected by this problem. To explain why, we have to split the CPUs in two categories: the CPU that initiates the text modification (calls text_poke_smp) and all the others. The scheduler, executed on all other CPUs after stop_machine, issues an "iret" core serializing instruction, and therefore handles core serialization for all these CPUs. However, the text modification initiator can continue its execution on the same thread and access the modified text without any scheduler call. Given that the CPU that initiates the code modification is not guaranteed to be the one actually performing the code modification, it falls into the XMC errata. Q: Isn't this executed from an IPI handler, which will return with IRET (a serializing instruction) anyway? A: No, now stop_machine uses per-cpu workqueue, so that handler will be executed from worker threads. There is no iret anymore.

2011-03-15readlinkat(), fchownat() and fstatat() with empty relative pathnamesAl Viro2-6/+11
For readlinkat() we simply allow empty pathname; it will fail unless we have dfd equal to O_PATH-opened symlink, so we are outside of POSIX scope here. For fchownat() and fstatat() we allow AT_EMPTY_PATH; let the caller explicitly ask for such behaviour. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-03-15Allow O_PATH for symlinksAl Viro1-6/+19
At that point we can't do almost nothing with them. They can be opened with O_PATH, we can manipulate such descriptors with dup(), etc. and we can see them in /proc/*/{fd,fdinfo}/*. We can't (and won't be able to) follow /proc/*/fd/* symlinks for those; there's simply not enough information for pathname resolution to go on from such point - to resolve a symlink we need to know which directory does it live in. We will be able to do useful things with them after the next commit, though - readlinkat() and fchownat() will be possible to use with dfd being an O_PATH-opened symlink and empty relative pathname. Combined with open_by_handle() it'll give us a way to do realink-by-handle and lchown-by-handle without messing with more redundant syscalls. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-03-15New kind of open files - "location only".Al Viro7-17/+119
New flag for open(2) - O_PATH. Semantics: * pathname is resolved, but the file itself is _NOT_ opened as far as filesystem is concerned. * almost all operations on the resulting descriptors shall fail with -EBADF. Exceptions are: 1) operations on descriptors themselves (i.e. close(), dup(), dup2(), dup3(), fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD), fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, ...), fcntl(fd, F_GETFD), fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, ...)) 2) fcntl(fd, F_GETFL), for a common non-destructive way to check if descriptor is open 3) "dfd" arguments of ...at(2) syscalls, i.e. the starting points of pathname resolution * closing such descriptor does *NOT* affect dnotify or posix locks. * permissions are checked as usual along the way to file; no permission checks are applied to the file itself. Of course, giving such thing to syscall will result in permission checks (at the moment it means checking that starting point of ....at() is a directory and caller has exec permissions on it). fget() and fget_light() return NULL on such descriptors; use of fget_raw() and fget_raw_light() is needed to get them. That protects existing code from dealing with those things. There are two things still missing (they come in the next commits): one is handling of symlinks (right now we refuse to open them that way; see the next commit for semantics related to those) and another is descriptor passing via SCM_RIGHTS datagrams.
