2011-04-05inotify: fix double free/corruption of stuct userEric Paris
On an error path in inotify_init1 a normal user can trigger a double free of struct user. This is a regression introduced by a2ae4cc9a16e ("inotify: stop kernel memory leak on file creation failure"). We fix this by making sure that if a group exists the user reference is dropped when the group is cleaned up. We should not explictly drop the reference on error and also drop the reference when the group is cleaned up. The new lifetime rules are that an inotify group lives from inotify_new_group to the last fsnotify_put_group. Since the struct user and inotify_devs are directly tied to this lifetime they are only changed/updated in those two locations. We get rid of all special casing of struct user or user->inotify_devs. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org (2.6.37 and up) Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2011-04-05ide: always ensure that blk_delay_queue() is called if we have pending IOJens Axboe
Just because we are not requeuing a request does not mean that some aren't pending. So always issue a blk_delay_queue() if either we are requeueing OR there's pending IO. This fixes a boot problem for some IDE boxes. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
2011-04-05block: fix request sorting at unplugKonstantin Khlebnikov
Comparison function for list_sort() must be anticommutative, otherwise it is not sorting in ordinary meaning. But fortunately list_sort() always check ((*cmp)(priv, a, b) <= 0) it not distinguish negative and zero, so comparison function can implement only less-or-equal instead of full three-way comparison.

2011-04-05dm: improve block integrity supportMike Snitzer
The current block integrity (DIF/DIX) support in DM is verifying that all devices' integrity profiles match during DM device resume (which is past the point of no return). To some degree that is unavoidable (stacked DM devices force this late checking). But for most DM devices (which aren't stacking on other DM devices) the ideal time to verify all integrity profiles match is during table load. Introduce the notion of an "initialized" integrity profile: a profile that was blk_integrity_register()'d with a non-NULL 'blk_integrity' template. Add blk_integrity_is_initialized() to allow checking if a profile was initialized. Update DM integrity support to: - check all devices with _initialized_ integrity profiles match during table load; uninitialized profiles (e.g. for underlying DM device(s) of a stacked DM device) are ignored. - disallow a table load that would result in an integrity profile that conflicts with a DM device's existing (in-use) integrity profile - avoid clearing an existing integrity profile - validate all integrity profiles match during resume; but if they don't all we can do is report the mismatch (during resume we're past the point of no return) Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: Martin K.

2011-04-05drm/i915/lvds: Remove 0xa0 DDC probe for LVDSChris Wilson
This is a revert of 428d2e828c0a68206e5158a42451487601dc9194. This is broken in the same manner as for VGA: trying to write to an invalid address on the (currently 7-bit) i2c bus. One notable failure appears to be for MacBooks. The scary part was that it gave the appearance of working (i.e. reporting the absence of the panel) on various all-in-one machines with ghost LVDS panels and not failing for laptops.

2011-04-05drm/i915/crt: Remove 0xa0 probe for VGAChris Wilson
This is a moral revert of 6ec3d0c0e9c0c605696e91048eebaca7b0c36695. Following the fix to reset the GMBUS controller after a NAK, we finally utilize the 0xa0 probe for a CRT connection. And discover that the code is broken. Shock. There are a number of issues, but following a key insight from Dave Airlie, that 0xA0 is an invalid address on a 7-bit bus (though not if we were to enable 10-bit addressing), and would look like the EDID port 0x50, it is possible to see where the confusion starts. In short, a write to 0xA0 is accepted by the GMBUS controller which we interpreted as meaning the existence of a connection (a slave on the other end of the wire ACKing the write). That was false. During testing with a broken GMBUS implementation, which never reset an earlier NAK, this test always reported a NAK and so we proceeded on to the next test.

Commit b3df895aebe091b1657 "powerpc/kexec: Add support for FSL-BookE" introduced the original PPC_STD_MMU_64 checks around the function crash_kexec_wait_realmode(). Then commit c2be05481f61252 "powerpc: Fix default_machine_crash_shutdown #ifdef botch" changed the ifdef around the calling site to add a check on SMP, but the ifdef around the function itself was left unchanged, leaving an unused function for PPC_STD_MMU_64=y and SMP=n Rather than have two ifdefs that can get out of sync like this, simply put the corrected conditional around the function and use a stub to get rid of one set of ifdefs completely.

2011-04-05Btrfs: don't warn in btrfs_add_orphanJosef Bacik
When I moved the orphan adding to btrfs_truncate I missed the fact that during orphan cleanup we just add the orphan items to the orphan list without going through btrfs_orphan_add, which results in lots of warnings on mount if you have any orphan items that need to be truncated. Just remove this warning since it's ok, this will allow all of the normal space accounting take place.

2011-04-05Btrfs: fix free space cache when there are pinned extents and clusters V2Josef Bacik
I noticed a huge problem with the free space cache that was presenting as an early ENOSPC. Turns out when writing the free space cache out I forgot to take into account pinned extents and more importantly clusters. This would result in us leaking free space everytime we unmounted the filesystem and remounted it. I fix this by making sure to check and see if the current block group has a cluster and writing out any entries that are in the cluster to the cache, as well as writing any pinned extents we currently have to the cache since those will be available for us to use the next time the fs mounts. This patch also adds a check to the end of load_free_space_cache to make sure we got the right amount of free space cache, and if not make sure to clear the cache and re-cache the old fashioned way.

2011-04-05Btrfs: Fix uninitialized root flags for subvolumesLi Zefan
root_item->flags and root_item->byte_limit are not initialized when a subvolume is created. This bug is not revealed until we added readonly snapshot support - now you mount a btrfs filesystem and you may find the subvolumes in it are readonly. To work around this problem, we steal a bit from root_item->inode_item->flags, and use it to indicate if those fields have been properly initialized. When we read a tree root from disk, we check if the bit is set, and if not we'll set the flag and initialize the two fields of the root item.

2011-04-04tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills upLinus Torvalds
Commit f23eb2b2b285 ('tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layer') ended up causing hung machines on UP with no preemption, because the work routine to flip the buffer data to the ldisc would endlessly re-arm itself if the destination buffer had filled up. With the delayed work, that only caused a timer-driving polling of the tty state every timer tick, but without the delay we just ended up with basically a busy loop instead. Stop the insane polling, and instead make the code that opens up the receive room re-schedule the buffer flip work. That's what we should have been doing anyway. This same "poll for tty room" issue is almost certainly also the cause of excessive kworker activity when idle reported by Dave Jones, who also reported "flush_to_ldisc executing 2500 times a second" back in Nov 2010: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/30/592 which is that silly flushing done every timer tick. Wasting both power and CPU for no good reason.
