b3423415fb [PATCH] dcache: avoid RCU for never-hashed dentries
Some dentries don't need to be globally visible in dentry hashtable.
(pipes & sockets)

Such dentries dont need to wait for a RCU grace period at delete time.
Being able to free them permits a better CPU cache use (hot cache)

This patch combined with (dont insert pipe dentries into dentry_hashtable)
reduced time of { pipe(p); close(p[0]); close(p[1]);} on my UP machine (1.6
GHz Pentium-M) from 3.23 us to 2.86 us (But this patch does not depend on
other patches, only bench results)

d18de5a272 [PATCH] don't insert pipe dentries into dentry_hashtable.
We currently insert pipe dentries into the global dentry hashtable.  This
is suboptimal because there is currently no way these entries can be used
for a lookup().  (/proc/xxx/fd/xxx uses a different mechanism).  Inserting
them in dentry hashtable slows dcache lookups.

To let __dpath() still work correctly (ie not adding a " (deleted)") after
dentry name, we do :

 - Right after d_alloc(), pretend they are hashed by clearing the
   DCACHE_UNHASHED bit.

 - Call d_instantiate() instead of d_add() : dentry is not inserted in
   hash table.

__dpath() & friends work as intended during dentry lifetime.

 - At dismantle time, once dput() must clear the dentry, setting again
   DCACHE_UNHASHED bit inside the custom d_delete() function provided by
   pipe code, so that dput() can just kill_it.

This patch, combined with (avoid RCU for never hashed dentries) reduced
time of { pipe(p); close(p[0]); close(p[1]);} on my UP machine (1.6GHz
Pentium-M) from 3.23 us to 2.86 us (But this patch does not depend on other
patches, only bench results)

0231606785 [PATCH] hotplug CPU: clean up hotcpu_notifier() use
There was lots of #ifdef noise in the kernel due to hotcpu_notifier(fn,
prio) not correctly marking 'fn' as used in the !HOTPLUG_CPU case, and thus
generating compiler warnings of unused symbols, hence forcing people to add
#ifdefs.

the compiler can skip truly unused functions just fine:

8bb0269160 [PATCH] corrupted cramfs filesystems cause kernel oops
Steve Grubb's fzfuzzer tool (http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/
fsfuzzer-0.6.tar.gz) generates corrupt Cramfs filesystems which cause
Cramfs to kernel oops in cramfs_uncompress_block().  The cause of the oops
is an unchecked corrupted block length field read by cramfs_readpage().

This patch adds a sanity check to cramfs_readpage() which checks that the
block length field is sensible.  The (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE << 1) size check is
intentional, even though the uncompressed data is not going to be larger
than PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, gzip sometimes generates compressed data larger than
the original source data.  Mkcramfs checks that the compressed size is
always less than or equal to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE << 1.  Of course Cramfs could
use the original uncompressed data in this case, but it doesn't.

e6c4021190 [PATCH] handle ext4 directory corruption better
I've been using Steve Grubb's purely evil "fsfuzzer" tool, at
http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/fsfuzzer-0.4.tar.gz

Basically it makes a filesystem, splats some random bits over it, then
tries to mount it and do some simple filesystem actions.

At best, the filesystem catches the corruption gracefully.  At worst,
things spin out of control.

As you might guess, we found a couple places in ext4 where things spin out
of control :)

First, we had a corrupted directory that was never checked for
consistency...  it was corrupt, and pointed to another bad "entry" of
length 0.  The for() loop looped forever, since the length of
ext4_next_entry(de) was 0, and we kept looking at the same pointer over and
over and over and over...  I modeled this check and subsequent action on
what is done for other directory types in ext4_readdir...

(adding this check adds some computational expense; I am testing a followup
patch to reduce the number of times we check and re-check these directory
entries, in all cases.  Thanks for the idea, Andreas).

Next we had a root directory inode which had a corrupted size, claimed to
be > 200M on a 4M filesystem.  There was only really 1 block in the
directory, but because the size was so large, readdir kept coming back for
more, spewing thousands of printk's along the way.

Per Andreas' suggestion, if we're in this read error condition and we're
trying to read an offset which is greater than i_blocks worth of bytes,
stop trying, and break out of the loop.

With these two changes fsfuzz test survives quite well on ext4.

87b4126f10 [PATCH] fix reiserfs bad path release panic
One of our test team hit a reiserfs_panic while running fsstress tests on
2.6.19-rc1.  The message looks like :

  REISERFS: panic(device Null superblock):
  reiserfs[5676]: assertion !(p->path_length != 1 ) failed at
  fs/reiserfs/stree.c:397:reiserfs_check_path: path not properly relsed.

The backtrace looked :

	.vfs_write+0xd0/0x1b4
	.sys_write+0x4c/0x8c
	syscall_exit+0x0/0x4

Upon debugging I found that the restart_transaction was not releasing
the path if the th->refcount was > 1.

/*static*/
int restart_transaction(struct reiserfs_transaction_handle *th,
                           			struct inode *inode, struct path *path)
{
	[...]

         /* we cannot restart while nested */
         if (th->t_refcount > 1) { <<- Path is not released in this case!
                 return 0;
         }

         pathrelse(path); <<- Path released here.
	[...]

This could happen in such a situation :

In reiserfs/inode.c: reiserfs_get_block() ::

      if (repeat == NO_DISK_SPACE || repeat == QUOTA_EXCEEDED) {
          /* restart the transaction to give the journal a chance to free
           ** some blocks.  releases the path, so we have to go back to
           ** research if we succeed on the second try
           */
          SB_JOURNAL(inode->i_sb)->j_next_async_flush = 1;

        -->>  retval = restart_transaction(th, inode, &path); <<--

  We are supposed to release the path, no matter we succeed or fail. But
if the th->refcount is > 1, the path is still valid. And,

          if (retval)
                   goto failure;
          repeat =
              _allocate_block(th, block, inode,
                             &allocated_block_nr, NULL, create);

If the above allocate_block fails with NO_DISK_SPACE or QUOTA_EXCEEDED,
we would have path which is not released.

         if (repeat != NO_DISK_SPACE && repeat != QUOTA_EXCEEDED) {
                   goto research;
         }
         if (repeat == QUOTA_EXCEEDED)
                   retval = -EDQUOT;
         else
                   retval = -ENOSPC;
         goto failure;
	[...]

       failure:
	[...]
         reiserfs_check_path(&path); << Panics here !

Attached here is a patch which could fix the issue.

fix reiserfs/inode.c : restart_transaction() to release the path in all
cases.

The restart_transaction() doesn't release the path when the the journal
handle has a refcount > 1.  This would trigger a reiserfs_panic() if we
encounter an -ENOSPC / -EDQUOT in reiserfs_get_block().

593be07ae8 [PATCH] file: kill unnecessary timer in fdtable_defer
free_fdtable_rc() schedules timer to reschedule fddef->wq if
schedule_work() on it returns 0.  However, schedule_work() guarantees that
the target work is executed at least once after the scheduling regardless
of its return value.  0 return simply means that the work was already
pending and thus no further action was required.

Another problem is that it used contant '5' as @expires argument to
mod_timer().

Kill unnecessary fddef->timer.

Most fuse filesystems work fine without block device support, so I
think a better solution is to disable the 'fuseblk' filesystem type if
BLOCK=n.

0ec7ca41f6 [PATCH] fuse: add DESTROY operation
Add a DESTROY operation for block device based filesystems.  With the help of
this operation, such a filesystem can flush dirty data to the device
synchronously before the umount returns.

This is needed in situations where the filesystem is assumed to be clean
immediately after unmount (e.g.  ejecting removable media).

d6392f873f [PATCH] fuse: add support for block device based filesystems
I never intended this, but people started using fuse to implement block device
based "real" filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs).

The following four patches add better support for these kinds of filesystems.
Unlike "normal" fuse filesystems, using this feature should require superuser
privileges (enforced by the fusermount utility).

Thanks to Szabolcs Szakacsits for the input and testing.

This patch adds a 'fuseblk' filesystem type, which is only different from the
'fuse' filesystem type in how the 'dev_name' mount argument is interpreted.

57881dd9df [PATCH] Fix check_partition routines
check_partition() stops its probe once it hits an I/O error from the
partition checkers.  This would prevent the actual partition checker
getting a chance to verify the partition.

So this patch lets check_partition() continue probing untill it hits a
success while recording the I/O error which might have been reported by the
checking routines.

Also, it does some cleanup of the partition methods for ibm, atari and
amiga to return -1 upon hitting an I/O error.

5127d002f9 [PATCH] fix rescan_partitions to return errors properly
The current rescan_partition implementation ignores the errors that comes from
the lower layer.  It reports success for unknown partitions as well as I/O
error cases while reading the partition information.

The unknown partition is not (and will not be) considered as an error in the
kernel, since there are legal users of it (e.g, members of a RAID5 MD Device
or a new disk which is not partitioned at all ).  Changing this behaviour
would scare the user about a serious problem with their disk and is not
recommended.  Thus for both "unknown partitions" to the Linux (eg., DEC
VMS,Novell Netware) and the legal users of NULL partition, would still be
reported as "SUCCESS".

The patch attached here, scares the user about something which he does need to
worry about.  i.e, returning -EIO on disk I/O errors while reading the
partition information.
