2007-09-05sched: fix niced_granularity() shiftIngo Molnar
fix niced_granularity(). This resulted in under-scheduling for CPU-bound negative nice level tasks (and this in turn caused higher than necessary latencies in nice-0 tasks). Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-09-05sched: fix MC/HT scheduler optimization, without breaking the FUZZ logic.Suresh Siddha
First fix the check if (*imbalance + SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ < busiest_load_per_task) with this if (*imbalance < busiest_load_per_task) As the current check is always false for nice 0 tasks (as SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ is same as busiest_load_per_task for nice 0 tasks). With the above change, imbalance was getting reset to 0 in the corner case condition, making the FUZZ logic fail. Fix it by not corrupting the imbalance and change the imbalance, only when it finds that the HT/MC optimization is needed.

2007-09-05[XFS] fix nasty quota hashtable allocation bugEric Sandeen
This git mod: 77e4635ae191774526ed695482a151ac986f3806 converted to a "greedy" allocation interface, but for the quota hashtables it switched from allocating XFS_QM_HASHSIZE (nr of elements) xfs_dqhash_t's to allocating only XFS_QM_HASHSIZE *bytes* - quite a lot smaller! Then when we converted hsize "back" to nr of elements (the division line) hsize went to 0. This was leading to oopses when running any quota tests on the Fedora 8 test kernel, but the problem has been there for almost a year.

2007-09-05[XFS] fix sparse shadowed variable warningsChristoph Hellwig
- in xfs_probe_cluster rename the inner len to pg_len. There's no harm here because the outer len isn't used after the inner len comes into existence but it keeps the code clean. - in xfs_da_do_buf remove the inner i because they don't overlap and they are both the same type.

2007-09-05[XFS] fix ASSERT and ASSERT_ALWAYSChristoph Hellwig
- remove the != 0 inside the unlikely in ASSERT_ALWAYS because sparse now complains about comparisons between pointers and 0 - add a standalone ASSERT implementation because defining it to ASSERT_ALWAYS means the string is expanded before the token passing stringification. This way we get the actual content of the assertion in the assfail message and don't overflow sparse's stringification buffer leading to sparse error messages.

2007-09-05[x86 setup] Work around bug in Xen HVMChristian Ehrhardt
Apparently XEN does not keep the contents of the 48-bit gdt_48 data structure that is passed to lgdt in the XEN machine state. Instead it appears to save the _address_ of the 48-bit descriptor somewhere. Unfortunately this data happens to reside on the stack and is probably no longer availiable at the time of the actual protected mode jump. This is Xen bug but given that there is a one-line patch to work around this problem, the linux kernel should probably do this. My fix is to make the gdt_48 description in setup_gdt static (in setup_idt this is already the case). This allows the kernel to boot under Xen HVM again.

2007-09-02[JFFS2] fix write deadlock regressionJason Lunz
I've bisected the deadlock when many small appends are done on jffs2 down to this commit: commit 6fe6900e1e5b6fa9e5c59aa5061f244fe3f467e2 Author: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Date: Sun May 6 14:49:04 2007 -0700 mm: make read_cache_page synchronous Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls. I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7 possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return with a !uptodate page. It introduced a wait to read_cache_page, as well as a read_cache_page_async function equivalent to the old read_cache_page without any callers. Switching jffs2_gc_fetch_page to read_cache_page_async for the old behavior makes the deadlocks go away, but maybe reintroduces the use-before-uptodate problem?

2007-09-01NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()Trond Myklebust
Ryusuke Konishi says: The recent truncate_complete_page() clears the dirty flag from a page before calling a_ops->invalidatepage(), ^^^^^^ static void truncate_complete_page(struct address_space *mapping, struct page *page) { ... cancel_dirty_page(page, PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); <--- Inserted here at kernel 2.6.20 if (PagePrivate(page)) do_invalidatepage(page, 0); ---> will call a_ops->invalidatepage() ... } and this is disturbing nfs_wb_page_priority() from calling nfs_writepage_locked() that is expected to handle the pending request (=nfs_page) associated with the page. int nfs_wb_page_priority(struct inode *inode, struct page *page, int how) { ... if (clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)) { ret = nfs_writepage_locked(page, &wbc); if (ret < 0) goto out; } ... } Since truncate_complete_page() will get rid of the page after a_ops->invalidatepage() returns, the request (=nfs_page) associated with the page becomes a garbage in nfs_inode->nfs_page_tree. ------------------------ Fix this by ensuring that nfs_wb_page_priority() recognises that it may also need to clear out non-dirty pages that have an nfs_page associated with them.

2007-08-31NFS: Fix the mount regressionTrond Myklebust
This avoids the recent NFS mount regression (returning EBUSY when mounting the same filesystem twice with different parameters). The best I can do given the constraints appears to be to have the kernel first look for a superblock that matches both the fsid and the user-specified mount options, and then spawn off a new superblock if that search fails. Note that this is not the same as specifying nosharecache everywhere since nosharecache will never attempt to match an existing superblock.

2007-08-31x86: be even more careful about checking the stack frame on dumpingLinus Torvalds
lguest didn't initialize the kernel stack the way a real i386 kernel does, and ended up triggering a corner-case in the stack frame checking that doesn't happen on naive i386, and that the stack dumping didn't handle quite right. This makes the frame handling more correct, and tries to clarify the code at the same time so that it's a bit more obvious what is going on. Thanks to Rusty Russell for debugging the lguest failure- Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-08-31Do not use the ia64 clocksource on non-ia64 architecturesLinus Torvalds
The HPET clocksource in drivers/char/hpet.c was written as generic code for ia64, but it is not yet ready to replace the native HPET clocksource implementations that the i386/x86-64 architectures use. On x86[-64], trying to register this clocksource results in potentially multiple hpet-based clocksources being registered, and if the ia64 one is chosen on x86_64 some users have experienced hangs. Eventually all three architectures may end up using the same code, but that is not the case right now.
