* [PATCH] inotify: fix deadlock found by lockdepArjan van de Ven2006-07-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a real deadlock, a nice complex one: (warning: long explanation follows so that Andrew can have a complete patch description) it's an ABCDA deadlock: A iprune_mutex B inode->inotify_mutex C ih->mutex D dev->ev_mutex The AB relationship comes straight from invalidate_inodes() int invalidate_inodes(struct super_block * sb) { int busy; LIST_HEAD(throw_away); mutex_lock(&iprune_mutex); spin_lock(&inode_lock); inotify_unmount_inodes(&sb->s_inodes); where inotify_umount_inodes() takes the mutex_lock(&inode->inotify_mutex); The BC relationship comes directly from inotify_find_update_watch(): s32 inotify_find_update_watch(struct inotify_handle *ih, struct inode *inode, u32 mask) { ... mutex_lock(&inode->inotify_mutex); mutex_lock(&ih->mutex); The CD relationship comes from inotify_rm_wd: inotify_rm_wd does mutex_lock(&inode->inotify_mutex); mutex_lock(&ih->mutex) and then calls inotify_remove_watch_locked() which calls notify_dev_queue_event() which does mutex_lock(&dev->ev_mutex); (this strictly is a BCD relationship) The DA relationship comes from the most interesting part: [<ffffffff8022d9f2>] shrink_icache_memory+0x42/0x270 [<ffffffff80240dc4>] shrink_slab+0x11d/0x1c9 [<ffffffff802b5104>] try_to_free_pages+0x187/0x244 [<ffffffff8020efed>] __alloc_pages+0x1cd/0x2e0 [<ffffffff8025e1f8>] cache_alloc_refill+0x3f8/0x821 [<ffffffff8020a5e5>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x85/0xcb [<ffffffff802db027>] kernel_event+0x2e/0x122 [<ffffffff8021d61c>] inotify_dev_queue_event+0xcc/0x140 inotify_dev_queue_event schedules a kernel_event which does a kmem_cache_alloc( , GFP_KERNEL) which may try to shrink slabs, including the inode cache .. which then takes iprune_mutex. And voila, there is an AB, a BC, a CD relationship (even a direct BCD), and also now a DA relationship -> a circular type AB-BA deadlock but involving 4 locks. The solution is simple: kernel_event() is NOT allowed to use GFP_KERNEL, but must use GFP_NOFS to not cause recursion into the VFS.

* [PATCH] Add linux-mm mailing list for memory management in MAINTAINERS fileSteven Rostedt2006-07-311-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since I didn't know about the linux-mm mailing list until I spammed all those that had their names anywhere in the mm directory, I'm sending this patch to add the linux-mm mailing list to the MAINTAINERS file. Also, since mm is so broad, it doesn't have a single person to maintain it, and thus no maintainer is listed. I also left the status as Maintained, since it obviously is.

(TVR_BITS + i + 1 * TVN_BITS)) ... So this bugfix changes behaviour. It worked before by sheer luck: "If i was anything but 0, it was broken. But this was only used by s390 and arm. Since it was for the next interrupt, could that next interrupt be a problem (going into the second cascade)? But it was probably seldom wrong. That is, this would fail if the next interrupt was in the second cascade, and was wrapped. Which may never of happened. Also if it did happen, it would have just missed the interrupt. If an interrupt was missed, and no one was there to miss it, was it really missed :-)" Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] cpu hotplug: replace __devinit* with __cpuinit* for cpu notificationsChandra Seetharaman2006-07-317-13/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Few of the callback functions and notifier blocks that are associated with cpu notifications incorrectly have __devinit and __devinitdata.

* [PATCH] panic_on_oops: remove ssleep()Horms2006-07-316-28/+14Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is part of an effort to unify the panic_on_oops behaviour across all architectures that implement it. It was pointed out to me by Andi Kleen that if an oops has occured in interrupt context, then calling sleep() in the oops path will only cause a panic, and that it would be really better for it not to be in the path at all. This patch removes the ssleep() call and reworks the console message accordinly. I have a slght concern that the resulting console message is too long, feedback welcome. For powerpc it also unifies the 32bit and 64bit behaviour. Fror x86_64, this patch only updates the console message, as ssleep() is already not present.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A recent commit (7fc90ec93a5eb71f4b08403baf5ba7176b3ec6b1) moved the call to nfsd_setuser out of the 'find a dentry for a filehandle' branch of fh_verify so that it would always be called. This had the unfortunately side-effect of moving *after* the call to decode_fh, so the prober fsuid was not set when nfsd_acceptable was called, the 'permission' check did the wrong thing. This patch moves the nfsd_setuser call back where it was, and add as call in the other branch of the if. Cc: "J.

* [PATCH] delay accounting: temporarily enable by defaultShailabh Nagar2006-07-314-12/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enable delay accounting by default so that feature gets coverage testing without requiring special measures. Earlier, it was off by default and had to be enabled via a boot time param. This patch reverses the default behaviour to improve coverage testing. It can be removed late in the kernel development cycle if its believed users shouldn't have to incur any cost if they don't want delay accounting. Or it can be retained forever if the utility of the stats is deemed common enough to warrant keeping the feature on.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | on/off status Complete the separation of delay accounting and taskstats by ignoring the return value of delay accounting functions that fill in parts of taskstats before it is sent out (either in response to a command or as part of a task exit). Also make delayacct_add_tsk return silently when delay accounting is turned off rather than treat it as an error.

* [PATCH] genirq: {en,dis}able_irq_wake() need refcounting tooDavid Brownell2006-07-312-2/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IRQs need refcounting and a state flag to track whether the the IRQ should be enabled or disabled as a "normal IRQ" source after a series of calls to {en,dis}able_irq(). For shared IRQs, the IRQ must be enabled so long as at least one driver needs it active. Likewise, IRQs need the same support to track whether the IRQ should be enabled or disabled as a "wakeup event" source after a series of calls to {en,dis}able_irq_wake(). For shared IRQs, the IRQ must be enabled as a wakeup source during sleep so long as at least one driver needs it. But right now they _don't have_ that refcounting ... which means sharing a wakeup-capable IRQ can't work correctly in some configurations. This patch adds the refcount and flag mechanisms to set_irq_wake() -- which is what {en,dis}able_irq_wake() call -- and minimal documentation of what the irq wake mechanism does. Drivers relying on the older (broken) "toggle" semantics will trigger a warning; that'll be a handful of drivers on ARM systems.

* [PATCH] Process Events: Fix biarch compatibility issue. use __u64 timestampChandra Seetharaman2006-07-312-6/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Events sent by Process Events Connector from a 64-bit kernel are not binary compatible with a 32-bit userspace program because the "timestamp" field (struct timespec) is not arch independent. This affects the fields that follow "timestamp" as they will be be off by 8 bytes. This is a problem for 32-bit userspace programs running with 64-bit kernels on ppc64, s390, x86-64.. any "biarch" system. Matt had submitted a different solution to lkml as an RFC earlier. We have since switched to a solution recommended by Evgeniy Polyakov. This patch fixes the problem by changing the timestamp to be a __u64, which stores the number of nanoseconds. Tested on a x86_64 system with both 32 bit application and 64 bit application and on a i386 system.

* [PATCH] ext3: avoid triggering ext3_error on bad NFS file handleNeil Brown2006-07-313-8/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The inode number out of an NFS file handle gets passed eventually to ext3_get_inode_block() without any checking. If ext3_get_inode_block() allows it to trigger an error, then bad filehandles can have unpleasant effect - ext3_error() will usually cause a forced read-only remount, or a panic if `errors=panic' was used. So remove the call to ext3_error there and put a matching check in ext3/namei.c where inode numbers are read off storage.
