2010-08-11signalfd: fill in ssi_int for posix timers and message queuesNathan Lynch1-0/+2
If signalfd is used to consume a signal generated by a POSIX interval timer or POSIX message queue, the ssi_int field does not reflect the data (sigevent->sigev_value) supplied to timer_create(2) or mq_notify(3). (The ssi_ptr field, however, is filled in.) This behavior differs from signalfd's treatment of sigqueue-generated signals -- see the default case in signalfd_copyinfo. It also gives results that differ from the case when a signal is handled conventionally via a sigaction-registered handler. So, set signalfd_siginfo->ssi_int in the remaining cases (__SI_TIMER, __SI_MESGQ) where ssi_ptr is set. akpm: a non-back-compatible change. Merge into -stable to minimise the number of kernels which are in the field and which miss this feature.

2010-08-11blkdev: cgroup whitelist permission fixChris Wright1-4/+6
The cgroup device whitelist code gets confused when trying to grant permission to a disk partition that is not currently open. Part of blkdev_open() includes __blkdev_get() on the whole disk. Basically, the only ways to reliably allow a cgroup access to a partition on a block device when using the whitelist are to 1) also give it access to the whole block device or 2) make sure the partition is already open in a different context. The patch avoids the cgroup check for the whole disk case when opening a partition.

2010-08-10tty: Add EXTPROC support for LINEMODEhyc@symas.com1-0/+1
This patch is against the 2.6.34 source. Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com: These are the changes needed for the kernel to support LINEMODE in the server. There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC. When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver are disabled. Input line editing, character echo, and mapping of signals are all disabled. This allows the telnetd to turn off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of what state the user wants the terminal to be in. New ioctl: TIOCSIG Generate a signal to processes in the current process group of the pty. There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit. When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit set. This allows the process on the server side of the pty to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state. Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for any remote terminal protocol, including ssh. The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.

2010-08-09mm: avoid resetting wb_start after each writeback roundJan Kara1-2/+3
WB_SYNC_NONE writeback is done in rounds of 1024 pages so that we don't write out some huge inode for too long while starving writeout of other inodes. To avoid livelocks, we record time we started writeback in wbc->wb_start and do not write out inodes which were dirtied after this time. But currently, writeback_inodes_wb() resets wb_start each time it is called thus effectively invalidating this logic and making any WB_SYNC_NONE writeback prone to livelocks. This patch makes sure wb_start is set only once when we start writeback.

2010-08-09oom: badness heuristic rewriteDavid Rientjes1-4/+90
This a complete rewrite of the oom killer's badness() heuristic which is used to determine which task to kill in oom conditions. The goal is to make it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better understood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most memory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace. Instead of basing the heuristic on mm->total_vm for each task, the task's rss and swap space is used instead. This is a better indication of the amount of memory that will be freeable if the oom killed task is chosen and subsequently exits. This helps specifically in cases where KDE or GNOME is chosen for oom kill on desktop systems instead of a memory hogging task. The baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task is currently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of "allowable" memory. "Allowable," in this sense, means the system-wide resources for unconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes, the mems attached to current's cpuset, or a memory controller's limit. The proportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always kill), roughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that the task consumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM or in swap space. The proportion is always relative to the amount of "allowable" memory and not the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets may operate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of the machine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set of nodes or mems, respectively. Root tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory() provides in LSMs. In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of memory, it is generally better to save root's task. Because of the change in the badness() heuristic's baseline, it is also necessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it. It's not possible to redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale since the ABI cannot be changed for backward compatability. Instead, a new tunable, /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to +1000. It may be used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks are never considered for oom kill while others may always be considered. The value is added directly into the badness() score so a value of -500, for example, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in comparison to other tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy, in the cpuset, or sharing the same memory controller. /proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the units used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa. Changing one of these per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an equivalent meaning. Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as a bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as /proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity. This is required so the ABI is not broken with userspace applications and allows oom_adj to be deprecated for future removal.

But there is one exception, /proc/<pid>/oom_score calls badness() directly and doesn't care that the task is a regular process. Another example, /proc/1/oom_score return !0 value.

2010-08-09Fix sget() race with failing mountAl Viro2-1/+7
If sget() finds a matching superblock being set up, it'll grab an active reference to it and grab s_umount. That's fine - we'll wait for completion of foofs_get_sb() that way. However, if said foofs_get_sb() fails we'll end up holding the halfway-created superblock. deactivate_locked_super() called by foofs_get_sb() will just unlock the sucker since we are holding another active reference to it. What we need is a way to tell if superblock has been successfully set up. Unfortunately, neither ->s_root nor the check for MS_ACTIVE quite fit. Cheap and easy way, suitable for backport: new flag set by the (only) caller of ->get_sb(). If that flag isn't present by the time sget() grabbed s_umount on preexisting superblock it has found, it's seeing a stillborn and should just bury it with deactivate_locked_super() (and repeat the search). Longer term we want to set that flag in ->get_sb() instances (and check for it to distinguish between "sget() found us a live sb" and "sget() has allocated an sb, we need to set it up" in there, instead of checking ->s_root as we do now).

2010-08-09vfs: don't hold s_umount over close_bdev_exclusive() callTejun Heo1-0/+9
Fix an obscure AB-BA deadlock in get_sb_bdev(). When a superblock is mounted more than once get_sb_bdev() calls close_bdev_exclusive() to drop the extra bdev reference while holding s_umount. However, sb->s_umount nests inside bd_mutex during __invalidate_device() and close_bdev_exclusive() acquires bd_mutex during blkdev_put(); thus creating an AB-BA deadlock. This condition doesn't trigger frequently. For this condition to be visible to lockdep, the filesystem must occupy the whole device (as __invalidate_device() only grabs bd_mutex for the whole device), the FS must be mounted more than once and partition rescan should be issued while the FS is still mounted. Fix it by dropping s_umount over close_bdev_exclusive().

2010-08-09BFS: clean up the superblock usageArtem Bityutskiy3-43/+7
BFS is a very simple FS and its superblocks contains only static information and is never changed. However, the BFS code for some misterious reasons marked its buffer head as dirty from time to time, but nothing in that buffer was ever changed. This patch removes all the BFS superblock manipulation, simply because it is not needed. It removes: 1. The si_sbh filed from 'struct bfs_sb_info' because it is not needed. We only need to read the SB once on mount to get the start of data blocks and the FS size. After this, we can forget about the SB. 2. All instances of 'mark_buffer_dirty(sbh)' for BFS SB because it is never changed. 3. The '->sync_fs()' method because there is nothing to sync (inodes are synched by VFS). 4. The '->write_super()' method, again, because the SB is never changed.

2010-08-09AFFS: wait for sb synchronization when neededArtem Bityutskiy1-5/+7
AFFS does not ever wait for superblock synchronization in ->put_super(), ->write_super, and ->sync_fs(). However, it should wait for synchronization in ->put_super() because it is about to be unmounted, in ->write_super() because this is periodic SB synchronization performed from a separate kernel thread, and in ->sync_fs() it should respect the 'wait' flag. This patch fixes the situation. Also, in ->put_super(), do not write the SB if it is not dirty.

2010-08-09cifs: truncate falloutChristoph Hellwig1-23/+7
Remove the calls to inode_newsize_ok given that we already did it as part of inode_change_ok in the beginning of cifs_setattr_(no)unix. No need to call ->truncate if cifs doesn't have one, so remove the explicit call in cifs_vmtruncate, and replace the calls to vmtruncate with truncate_setsize which is vmtruncate minus inode_newsize_ok and the call to ->truncate. Rename cifs_vmtruncate to cifs_setsize to match the new calling conventions. Question 1: why does cifs do the pagecache munging and i_size update twice for each setattr call, once opencoded in cifs_vmtruncate, and once using the VFS helpers? Question 2: what is supposed to be protected by i_lock in cifs_vmtruncate? Do we need it around the call to inode_change_ok?

2010-08-09mbcache: Remove unused featuresAndreas Gruenbacher4-122/+55
The mbcache code was written to support a variable number of indexes, but all the existing users use exactly one index. Simplify to code to support only that case. There are also no users of the cache entry free operation, and none of the users keep extra data in cache entries. Remove those features as well.

2010-08-09pass a struct path to vfs_statfsChristoph Hellwig7-35/+55
We'll need the path to implement the flags field for statvfs support. We do have it available in all callers except: - ecryptfs_statfs. This one doesn't actually need vfs_statfs but just needs to do a caller to the lower filesystem statfs method. - sys_ustat. Add a non-exported statfs_by_dentry helper for it which doesn't won't be able to fill out the flags field later on. In addition rename the helpers for statfs vs fstatfs to do_*statfs instead of the misleading vfs prefix. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
