2acf2c261b ext4: Implement range_cyclic in ext4_da_writepages instead of write_cache_pages
With delayed allocation we lock the page in write_cache_pages() and
try to build an in memory extent of contiguous blocks.  This is needed
so that we can get large contiguous blocks request.  If range_cyclic
mode is enabled, write_cache_pages() will loop back to the 0 index if
no I/O has been done yet, and try to start writing from the beginning
of the range.  That causes an attempt to take the page lock of lower
index page while holding the page lock of higher index page, which can
cause a dead lock with another writeback thread.

The solution is to implement the range_cyclic behavior in
ext4_da_writepages() instead.

d794bf8e09 ext4: Initialize preallocation list_head's properly
When creating a new ext4_prealloc_space structure, we have to
initialize its list_head pointers before we add them to any prealloc
lists.  Otherwise, with list debug enabled, we will get list

7be2baaa03 ext4: Fix to read empty directory blocks correctly in 64k
The rec_len field in the directory entry is 16 bits, so there was a
problem representing rec_len for filesystems with a 64k block size in
the case where the directory entry takes the entire 64k block.
Unfortunately, there were two schemes that were proposed; one where
all zeros meant 65536 and one where all ones (65535) meant 65536.
E2fsprogs used 0, whereas the kernel used 65535.  Oops.  Fortunately
this case happens extremely rarely, with the most common case being
the lost+found directory, created by mke2fs.

So we will be liberal in what we accept, and accept both encodings,
but we will continue to encode 65536 as 65535.  This will require a
change in e2fsprogs, but with fortunately ext4 filesystems normally
have the dir_index feature enabled, which precludes having a
completely empty directory block.

7f5aa21508 jbd2: Avoid possible NULL dereference in jbd2_journal_begin_ordered_truncate()
If we race with commit code setting i_transaction to NULL, we could
possibly dereference it.  Proper locking requires the journal pointer
(to access journal->j_list_lock), which we don't have.  So we have to
change the prototype of the function so that filesystem passes us the
journal pointer.  Also add a more detailed comment about why the
function jbd2_journal_begin_ordered_truncate() does what it does and
how it should be used.

Thanks to Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com> for pointing to the
suspitious code.

9eddacf9e9 Revert "ext4: wait on all pending commits in ext4_sync_fs()"
This undoes commit 14ce0cb411.

Since jbd2_journal_start_commit() is now fixed to return 1 when we
started a transaction commit, there's some transaction waiting to be
committed or there's a transaction already committing, we don't
need to call ext4_force_commit() in ext4_sync_fs(). Furthermore
ext4_force_commit() can unnecessarily create sync transaction which is
expensive so it's worthwhile to remove it when we can.

c88ccea314 jbd2: Fix return value of jbd2_journal_start_commit()
The function jbd2_journal_start_commit() returns 1 if either a
transaction is committing or the function has queued a transaction
commit. But it returns 0 if we raced with somebody queueing the
transaction commit as well. This resulted in ext4_sync_fs() not
functioning correctly (description from Arthur Jones): 

   In the case of a data=ordered umount with pending long symlinks
   which are delayed due to a long list of other I/O on the backing
   block device, this causes the buffer associated with the long
   symlinks to not be moved to the inode dirty list in the second
   phase of fsync_super.  Then, before they can be dirtied again,
   kjournald exits, seeing the UMOUNT flag and the dirty pages are
   never written to the backing block device, causing long symlink
   corruption and exposing new or previously freed block data to
   userspace.

This can be reproduced with a script created by Eric Sandeen
<sandeen@redhat.com>:

        #!/bin/bash

        umount /mnt/test2
        mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2
        rm -f /mnt/test2/*
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test2/bigfile bs=1M count=512
        touch /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename
        ln -s /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename
        /mnt/test2/link
        umount /mnt/test2
        mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2
        ls /mnt/test2/

This patch fixes jbd2_journal_start_commit() to always return 1 when
there's a transaction committing or queued for commit.

14fa43f53f ASoC: Only register AC97 bus if it's not done already
ASoC supports both explicit codec drivers for AC97 devices and a simple
driver which uses the standard ALSA AC97 framework for codec support.
When used with the generic AC97 codec support that will provide the
ad hoc AC97 device for drivers like touchscreens to attach to so the
core shouldn't do so.

Recently I received a report about internal mic not working

related with the forced line in on pin 0x0e done with hp-m4 model. Thus
change the current quirk from STAC_HP_M4 to STAC_HP_DV5, later reported
to be fixed on a provided kernel with this change
(https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44855#c196).

When a non-wimax interface is looked up by the stack, a bad pointer is

In function sock_getsockopt() located in net/core/sock.c, optval v.val

This dummy code should trigger the bug:

int main(void)
{
	unsigned char buf[4] = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };
	int len;
	int sock;
	sock = socket(33, 2, 2);

	printf("%x%x%x%x\n", buf[0], buf[1], buf[2], buf[3]);
	close(sock);

declaration.

9970937273 net: don't use in_atomic() in gfp_any()
The problem is that in_atomic() will return false inside spinlocks if
CONFIG_PREEMPT=n.  This will lead to deadlockable GFP_KERNEL allocations
from spinlocked regions.

Secondly, if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, this bug solves itself because networking
will instead use GFP_ATOMIC from this callsite.  Hence we won't get the
might_sleep() debugging warnings which would have informed us of the buggy
callsites.

Solve both these problems by switching to in_interrupt().  Now, if someone
runs a gfp_any() allocation from inside spinlock we will get the warning
if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.

I reviewed all callsites and most of them were too complex for my little
brain and none of them documented their interface requirements.  I have no
idea what this patch will do.

3a4c6800f3 Fix page writeback thinko, causing Berkeley DB slowdown
A bug was introduced into write_cache_pages cyclic writeout by commit
31a12666d8 ("mm: write_cache_pages cyclic
fix").  The intention (and comments) is that we should cycle back and
look for more dirty pages at the beginning of the file if there is no
more work to be done.

But the !done condition was dropped from the test.  This means that any
time the page writeout loop breaks (eg.  due to nr_to_write == 0), we
will set index to 0, then goto again.  This will set done_index to
index, then find done is set, so will proceed to the end of the
function.  When updating mapping->writeback_index for cyclic writeout,
we now use done_index == 0, so we're always cycling back to 0.

This seemed to be causing random mmap writes (slapadd and iozone) to
start writing more pages from the LRU and writeout would slowdown, and
caused bugzilla entry

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12604

about Berkeley DB slowing down dramatically.

With this patch, iozone random write performance is increased nearly
5x on my system (iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m on ext2).

4d48a542b4 nbd: fix I/O hang on disconnected nbds
Fix a problem that causes I/O to a disconnected (or partially initialized)
nbd device to hang indefinitely.  To reproduce:

# ioctl NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS /dev/nbd23 514048
# dd if=/dev/nbd23 of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=1

...hangs...

This can also occur when an nbd device loses its nbd-client/server
connection.  Although we clear the queue of any outstanding I/Os after the
client/server connection fails, any additional I/Os that get queued later
will hang.

This bug may also be the problem reported in this bug report:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12277

Testing would need to be performed to determine if the two issues are the
same.

This problem was introduced by the new request handling thread code ("NBD:
allow nbd to be used locally", 3/2008), which entered into mainline around
2.6.25.

The fix, which is fairly simple, is to restore the check for lo->sock
being NULL in do_nbd_request.  This causes I/O to an uninitialized nbd to
immediately fail with an I/O error, as it did prior to the introduction of
this bug.

9480c53e9b mm: rearrange exit_mmap() to unlock before arch_exit_mmap
Christophe Saout reported [in precursor to:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123209902707347&w=4]:

> Note that I also some a different issue with CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU.
> Seems like Xen tears down current->mm early on process termination, so
> that __get_user_pages in exit_mmap causes nasty messages when the
> process had any mlocked pages.  (in fact, it somehow manages to get into
> the swapping code and produces a null pointer dereference trying to get
> a swap token)

Jeremy explained:

Yes.  In the normal case under Xen, an in-use pagetable is "pinned",
meaning that it is RO to the kernel, and all updates must go via hypercall
(or writes are trapped and emulated, which is much the same thing).  An
unpinned pagetable is not currently in use by any process, and can be
directly accessed as normal RW pages.

As an optimisation at process exit time, we unpin the pagetable as early
as possible (switching the process to init_mm), so that all the normal
pagetable teardown can happen with direct memory accesses.

This happens in exit_mmap() -> arch_exit_mmap().  The munlocking happens
a few lines below.  The obvious thing to do would be to move
arch_exit_mmap() to below the munlock code, but I think we'd want to
call it even if mm->mmap is NULL, just to be on the safe side.

Thus, this patch:

exit_mmap() needs to unlock any locked vmas before calling arch_exit_mmap,
as the latter may switch the current mm to init_mm, which would cause the
former to fail.
