e3f24cc521 Btrfs: don't release pages when we can't clear the uptodate bits
Btrfs tracks uptodate state in an rbtree as well as in the
page bits.  This is supposed to enable us to use block sizes other than
the page size, but there are a few parts still missing before that
completely works.

But, our readpage routine trusts this additional range based tracking
of uptodateness, much in the same way the buffer head up to date bits
are trusted for the other filesystems.

The problem is that sometimes we need to allocate memory in order to
split records in the rbtree, even when we are just clearing bits.  This
can be difficult when our clearing function is called GFP_ATOMIC, which
can happen in the releasepage path.

So, what happens today looks like this:

releasepage called with GFP_ATOMIC
btrfs_releasepage calls clear_extent_bit
clear_extent_bit fails to allocate ram, leaving the up to date bit set
btrfs_releasepage returns success

The end result is the page being gone, but btrfs thinking the range is
up to date.   Later on if someone tries to read that same page, the
btrfs readpage code will return immediately thinking the page is already
up to date.

This commit fixes things to fail the releasepage when we can't clear the
extent state bits.  It covers both data pages and metadata tree blocks.

eb14ab8ed2 Btrfs: fix page->private races
There is a race where btrfs_releasepage can drop the
page->private contents just as alloc_extent_buffer is setting
up pages for metadata.  Because of how the Btrfs page flags work,
this results in us skipping the crc on the page during IO.

This patch sovles the race by waiting until after the extent buffer
is inserted into the radix tree before it sets page private.

acfdf5c383 nfsd4: acquire only one lease per file
Instead of acquiring one lease each time another client opens a file,
nfsd can acquire just one lease to represent all of them, and reference
count it to determine when to release it.

This fixes a regression introduced by
c45821d263 "locks: eliminate fl_mylease
callback": after that patch, only the struct file * is used to determine
who owns a given lease.  But since we recently converted the server to
share a single struct file per open, if we acquire multiple leases on
the same file from nfsd, it then becomes impossible on unlocking a lease
to determine which of those leases (all of whom share the same struct
file *) we meant to remove.

Thanks to Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> for catching a bug in a previous
version of this patch.

3aa6e0aa8a NFSD: memory corruption due to writing beyond the stat array
If nfsd fails to find an exported via NFS file in the readahead cache, it
should increment corresponding nfsdstats counter (ra_depth[10]), but due to a
bug it may instead write to ra_depth[11], corrupting the following field.

In a kernel with NFSDv4 compiled in the corruption takes the form of an
increment of a counter of the number of NFSv4 operation 0's received; since
there is no operation 0, this is harmless.

In a kernel with NFSDv4 disabled it corrupts whatever happens to be in the
memory beyond nfsdstats.

a646bd7f08 dma: ipu_idmac: do not lose valid received data in the irq handler
Currently when two or more buffers are queued by the camera driver
and so the double buffering is enabled in the idmac, we lose one
frame comming from CSI since the reporting of arrival of the first
frame is deferred by the DMAIC_7_EOF interrupt handler and reporting
of the arrival of the last frame is not done at all. So when requesting
N frames from the image sensor we actually receive N - 1 frames in
user space.

The reason for this behaviour is that the DMAIC_7_EOF interrupt
handler misleadingly assumes that the CUR_BUF flag is pointing to the
buffer used by the IDMAC. Actually it is not the case since the
CUR_BUF flag will be flipped by the FSU when the FSU is sending the
<TASK>_NEW_FRM_RDY signal when new frame data is delivered by the CSI.
When sending this singal, FSU updates the DMA_CUR_BUF and the
DMA_BUFx_RDY flags: the DMA_CUR_BUF is flipped, the DMA_BUFx_RDY
is cleared, indicating that the frame data is beeing written by
the IDMAC to the pointed buffer. DMA_BUFx_RDY is supposed to be
set to the ready state again by the MCU, when it has handled the
received data. DMAIC_7_CUR_BUF flag won't be flipped here by the
IPU, so waiting for this event in the EOF interrupt handler is wrong.
Actually there is no spurious interrupt as described in the comments,
this is the valid DMAIC_7_EOF interrupt indicating reception of the
frame from CSI.

The patch removes code that waits for flipping of the DMAIC_7_CUR_BUF
flag in the DMAIC_7_EOF interrupt handler. As the comment in the
current code denotes, this waiting doesn't help anyway. As a result
of this removal the reporting of the first arrived frame is not
deferred to the time of arrival of the next frame and the drivers
software flag 'ichan->active_buffer' is in sync with DMAIC_7_CUR_BUF
flag, so the reception of all requested frames works.

This has been verified on the hardware which is triggering the
image sensor by the programmable state machine, allowing to
obtain exact number of frames. On this hardware we do not tolerate
losing frames.

This patch also removes resetting the DMA_BUFx_RDY flags of
all channels in ipu_disable_channel() since transfers on other
DMA channels might be triggered by other running tasks and the
buffers should always be ready for data sending or reception.

40b4a7599d drm/radeon/kms: optimize CS state checking for r100->r500
The colorbuffer, zbuffer, and texture states are checked only once when
they get changed. This improves performance in the apps which emit
lots of draw packets and few state changes.

This drops performance in glxgears by a 1% or so, but glxgears is not
a benchmark we care about.
The time spent in the kernel when running Torcs dropped from 33% to 23%
and the frame rate is higher, which is a good thing.

r600 might need something like this as well.

This is not really important since the process will exit shortly after and
thus close the file for us, but being explicit prevents static analysis
tools from complaining about leaked memory and missing fclose() calls and
it also seems to be the prefered style of the existing code to explicitly
close the file.

So while the change was clearly the RightThing(tm) to do in theory, in

On an SMP ARM system running ext4, I've received a report that the

While investigating possible causes for this problem, I noticed that
__jbd2_log_start_commit() is getting called with j_state_lock only
read-locked, in spite of the fact that it's possible for it might
j_commit_request.  Fix this by grabbing the necessary information so
we can test to see if we need to start a new transaction before
dropping the read lock, and then calling jbd2_log_start_commit() which
will grab the write lock.

ext4 has a data corruption case when doing non-block-aligned
asynchronous direct IO into a sparse file, as demonstrated
by xfstest 240.

The root cause is that while ext4 preallocates space in the
hole, mappings of that space still look "new" and 
dio_zero_block() will zero out the unwritten portions.  When
more than one AIO thread is going, they both find this "new"
block and race to zero out their portion; this is uncoordinated
and causes data corruption.

Dave Chinner fixed this for xfs by simply serializing all
unaligned asynchronous direct IO.  I've done the same here.
The difference is that we only wait on conversions, not all IO.
This is a very big hammer, and I'm not very pleased with
stuffing this into ext4_file_write().  But since ext4 is
DIO_LOCKING, we need to serialize it at this high level.

I tried to move this into ext4_ext_direct_IO, but by then
we have the i_mutex already, and we will wait on the
work queue to do conversions - which must also take the
i_mutex.  So that won't work.

This was originally exposed by qemu-kvm installing to
a raw disk image with a normal sector-63 alignment.  I've
tested a backport of this patch with qemu, and it does
avoid the corruption.  It is also quite a lot slower
(14 min for package installs, vs. 8 min for well-aligned)
but I'll take slow correctness over fast corruption any day.

Mingming suggested that we can track outstanding
conversions, and wait on those so that non-sparse
files won't be affected, and I've implemented that here;
unaligned AIO to nonsparse files won't take a perf hit.

 of bloating the ext4 inode]

2892c15ddd ext4: make grpinfo slab cache names static
In 2.6.37 I was running into oopses with repeated module
loads & unloads.  I tracked this down to:

fb1813f4 ext4: use dedicated slab caches for group_info structures

(this was in addition to the features advert unload problem)

The kstrdup & subsequent kfree of the cache name was causing
a double free.  In slub, at least, if I read it right it allocates
& frees the name itself, slab seems to do something different...
so in slub I think we were leaking -our- cachep->name, and double
freeing the one allocated by slub.

After getting lost in slab/slub/slob a bit, I just looked at other
sized-caches that get allocated.  jbd2, biovec, sgpool all do it
more or less the way jbd2 does.  Below patch follows the jbd2
method of dynamically allocating a cache at mount time from
a list of static names.

(This might also possibly fix a race creating the caches with
parallel mounts running).

[Folded in a fix from Dan Carpenter which fixed an off-by-one error in
the original patch]
