Zach Brown bdb76ef5a4 dio: fix cache invalidation after sync writes
Commit commit 65b8291c40 ("dio: invalidate
clean pages before dio write") introduced a bug which stopped dio from
ever invalidating the page cache after writes.  It still invalidated it
before writes so most users were fine.

Karl Schendel reported ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/26/481 ) hitting
this bug when he had a buffered reader immediately reading file data
after an O_DIRECT wirter had written the data.  The kernel issued
read-ahead beyond the position of the reader which overlapped with the
O_DIRECT writer.  The failure to invalidate after writes caused the
reader to see stale data from the read-ahead.

The following patch is originally from Karl.  The following commentary
is his:

	The below 3rd try takes on your suggestion of just invalidating
	no matter what the retval from the direct_IO call.  I ran it
	thru the test-case several times and it has worked every time.
	The post-invalidate is probably still too early for async-directio,
	but I don't have a testcase for that;  just sync.  And, this
	won't be any worse in the async case.

I added a test to the aio-dio-regress repository which mimics Karl's IO
pattern.  It verifed the bad behaviour and that the patch fixed it.  I
agree with Karl, this still doesn't help the case where a buffered
reader follows an AIO O_DIRECT writer.  That will require a bit more
work.

This gives up on the idea of returning EIO to indicate to userspace that
stale data remains if the invalidation failed.

J. Bruce Fields 97855b49b6 locks: fix possible infinite loop in posix deadlock detection
It's currently possible to send posix_locks_deadlock() into an infinite
loop (under the BKL).

For now, fix this just by bailing out after a few iterations.  We may
want to fix this in a way that better clarifies the semantics of
deadlock detection.  But that will take more time, and this minimal fix
is probably adequate for any realistic scenario, and is simple enough to
be appropriate for applying to stable kernels now.

Thanks to George Davis for reporting the problem.

  I wonder on what type of UFS do you test this patch?  NetBSD and FreeBSD
  do not use "fs_state", they use "fs_clean" flag, only Solaris does check
  like this: fs_state + fs_time == FSOK.

  That's why parentheses was like that.

  At now with linux-2.6.24-rc1-git1, I get: fs need fsck, but NetBSD's fsck
  says that's all ok.

  I suggest revert this patch.

Hugh Dickins 487e9bf25c fix tmpfs BUG and AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE
It's possible to provoke unionfs (not yet in mainline, though in mm and
some distros) to hit shmem_writepage's BUG_ON(page_mapped(page)).  I expect
it's possible to provoke the 2.6.23 ecryptfs in the same way (but the
2.6.24 ecryptfs no longer calls lower level's ->writepage).

This came to light with the recent find that AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE could
leak from tmpfs via write_cache_pages and unionfs to userspace.  There's
already a fix (e423003028 - writeback: don't
propagate AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE) in the tree for that, and it's okay so
far as it goes; but insufficient because it doesn't address the underlying
issue, that shmem_writepage expects to be called only by vmscan (relying on
backing_dev_info capabilities to prevent the normal writeback path from
ever approaching it).

That's an increasingly fragile assumption, and ramdisk_writepage (the other
source of AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATEs) is already careful to check
wbc->for_reclaim before returning it.  Make the same check in
shmem_writepage, thereby sidestepping the page_mapped BUG also.

Tejun Heo e027bd36c1 libata: implement and use ATA_QCFLAG_QUIET
Implement ATA_QCFLAG_QUIET which indicates that there's no need to
report if the command fails with AC_ERR_DEV and set it for passthrough
commands.

Combined with previous changes, this now makes device errors for all
direct commands reported directly to the issuer without going through
EH actions and reporting.

Note that EH is still invoked after non-IO device errors to determine
the nature of the error and resume command execution (some controller
requires special care after error to continue).  It just performs
default maintenance after error, examines what's going on, realizes
that it's none of its business and reports the command failure without
logging any error messages.

libata EH always revalidated device and retried failed command after

changes.

* Make sata_sil24 not request ATA_EH_REVALIDATE on device errors.
  sil24 is the only driver which does this.  All others let libata EH
  core code decide.

* Don't request revalidation after device error of non-IO command.
  Revalidation doesn't really help anybody.  As ATA_EH_REVALIDATE
  isn't set by default, there's no reason to clear it after sense data
  is read.  Kill ATA_EH_REVALIDATE clearing code while at it.

* Don't retry non-IO command after device error.  Device has rejected
  the command.  There's no point in retrying.

Mikael Pettersson b9ccd4a90b sata_promise: ASIC PRD table bug workaround, take 2
Second-generation Promise SATA controllers have an ASIC bug
which can trigger if the last PRD entry is larger than 164 bytes,
resulting in intermittent errors and possible data corruption.

Work around this by replacing calls to ata_qc_prep() with a
private version that fills the PRD, checks the size of the
last entry, and if necessary splits it to avoid the bug.
Also reduce sg_tablesize by 1 to accommodate the new entry.

Tested on the second-generation SATA300 TX4 and SATA300 TX2plus,
and the first-generation PDC20378.

Thanks to Alexander Sabourenkov for verifying the bug by
studying the vendor driver, and for writing the initial patch
upon which this one is based.

J. Bruce Fields 521c2a43b2 [SUNRPC]: fix rpc debugging
Commit baa3a2a0d2, by removing initialization
of the ctl_name field, broke this conditional, preventing the display of
rpc_tasks that you previously got when turning on rpc debugging.

Jean Delvare 0ccfe61803 [TCP]: Saner thash_entries default with much memory.
On systems with a very large amount of memory, the heuristics in
alloc_large_system_hash() result in a very large TCP established hash
table: 16 millions of entries for a 128 GB ia64 system. This makes
reading from /proc/net/tcp pretty slow (well over a second) and as a
result netstat is slow on these machines. I know that /proc/net/tcp is
deprecated in favor of tcp_diag, however at the moment netstat only
knows of the former.

I am skeptical that such a large TCP established hash is often needed.
Just because a system has a lot of memory doesn't imply that it will
have several millions of concurrent TCP connections. Thus I believe
that we should put an arbitrary high limit to the size of the TCP
established hash by default. Users who really need a bigger hash can
always use the thash_entries boot parameter to get more.

I propose 2 millions of entries as the arbitrary high limit. This
makes /proc/net/tcp reasonably fast on the system in question (0.2 s)
while being still large enough for me to be confident that network
performance won't suffer.

This is just one way to limit the hash size, there are others; I am not
familiar enough with the TCP code to decide which is best. Thus, I
would welcome the proposals of alternatives.

[ 2 million is still too large, thus I've modified the limit in the
  change to be '512 * 1024'. -DaveM ]

David S. Miller bf3c23d171 [NET]: Fix error reporting in sys_socketpair().
If either of the two sock_alloc_fd() calls fail, we
forget to update 'err' and thus we'll erroneously
return zero in these cases.

commentary from Chuck Ebbert.

David S. Miller 0a7606c121 [NET]: Fix race between poll_napi() and net_rx_action()
netpoll_poll_lock() synchronizes the ->poll() invocation
code paths, but once we have the lock we have to make
sure that NAPI_STATE_SCHED is still set.  Otherwise we
get:

	cpu 0			cpu 1

	net_rx_action()		poll_napi()
	netpoll_poll_lock()	... spin on ->poll_lock
	->poll()
	  netif_rx_complete
	netpoll_poll_unlock()	acquire ->poll_lock()
				->poll()
				 netif_rx_complete()
				 CRASH

while reviewing the tcp_md5-related code further i came across with
another two of these casts which you probably have missed. I don't
actually think that they impose a problem by now, but as you said we

Xiaoliang (David) Wei c940587bf6 [TCP] vegas: Fix a bug in disabling slow start by gamma parameter.
TCP Vegas implementation has a bug in the process of disabling
slow-start with gamma parameter. The bug may lead to extreme
unfairness in the presence of early packet loss. See details in:
http://www.cs.caltech.edu/~weixl/technical/ns2linux/known_linux/index.html#vegas

Switch the order of "if (tp->snd_cwnd <= tp->snd_ssthresh)" statement
and "if (diff > gamma)" statement to eliminate the problem.

Andy Gospodarek 5c81833c2f [IPVS]: use proper timeout instead of fixed value
Instead of using the default timeout of 3 minutes, this uses the timeout
specific to the protocol used for the connection. The 3 minute timeout
seems somewhat arbitrary (though I know it is used other places in the
ipvs code) and when failing over it would be much nicer to use one of
the configured timeout values.
