2010-04-21pcmcia: pcmcia_dev_present bugfixDominik Brodowski
pcmcia_dev_present is in and by itself buggy. Add a note specifying why it is broken, and replace the broken locking -- taking a mutex is a bad idea in IRQ context, from which this function is rarely called -- by an atomic_t. Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>

Make __DQUOT_PARANOIA define from the old days a standard config option and turn it off by default. This gets rid of a quota warning about writes before quota is turned on for systems with ext4 root filesystem. Currently there's no way to legally solve this because /etc/mtab has to be written before quota is turned on on most systems. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2010-04-20x86: correctly wire up the newuname system callChristoph Hellwig
Before commit e28cbf22933d0c0ccaf3c4c27a1a263b41f73859 ("improve sys_newuname() for compat architectures") 64-bit x86 had a private implementation of sys_uname which was just called sys_uname, which other architectures used for the old uname. Due to some merge issues with the uname refactoring patches we ended up calling the old uname version for both the old and new system call slots, which lead to the domainname filed never be set which caused failures with libnss_nis.

2010-04-19rmap: add exclusively owned pages to the newest anon_vmaRik van Riel
The recent anon_vma fixes cause many anonymous pages to end up in the parent process anon_vma, even when the page is exclusively owned by the current process. Adding exclusively owned anonymous pages to the top anon_vma reduces rmap scanning overhead, especially in workloads with forking servers. This patch adds a parameter to __page_set_anon_rmap that can be used to indicate whether or not the added page is exclusively owned by the current process. Pages added through page_add_new_anon_rmap are exclusively owned by the current process, and can be added to the top anon_vma. Pages added through page_add_anon_rmap can be either shared or exclusively owned, so we do the conservative thing and add it to the oldest anon_vma. A next step would be to add the exclusive parameter to page_add_anon_rmap, to be used from functions where we do know for sure whether a page is exclusively owned.

2010-04-19ecryptfs: fix use with tmpfs by removing d_drop from ecryptfs_destroy_inodeJeff Mahoney
Since tmpfs has no persistent storage, it pins all its dentries in memory so they have d_count=1 when other file systems would have d_count=0. ->lookup is only used to create new dentries. If the caller doesn't instantiate it, it's freed immediately at dput(). ->readdir reads directly from the dcache and depends on the dentries being hashed. When an ecryptfs mount is mounted, it associates the lower file and dentry with the ecryptfs files as they're accessed. When it's umounted and destroys all the in-memory ecryptfs inodes, it fput's the lower_files and d_drop's the lower_dentries. Commit 4981e081 added this and a d_delete in 2008 and several months later commit caeeeecf removed the d_delete. I believe the d_drop() needs to be removed as well. The d_drop effectively hides any file that has been accessed via ecryptfs from the underlying tmpfs since it depends on it being hashed for it to be accessible. I've removed the d_drop on my development node and see no ill effects with basic testing on both tmpfs and persistent storage. As a side effect, after ecryptfs d_drops the dentries on tmpfs, tmpfs BUGs on umount. This is due to the dentries being unhashed. tmpfs->kill_sb is kill_litter_super which calls d_genocide to drop the reference pinning the dentry. It skips unhashed and negative dentries, but shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree doesn't. Since those dentries still have an elevated d_count, we get a BUG(). This patch removes the d_drop call and fixes both issues.

But in a new network namespace these ioctl fail because it is disabled for a namespace different from the init_net_ns.

2010-04-16xfs: ensure that sync updates the log tail correctlyDave Chinner
Updates to the VFS layer removed an extra ->sync_fs call into the filesystem during the sync process (from the quota code). Unfortunately the sync code was unknowingly relying on this call to make sure metadata buffers were flushed via a xfs_buftarg_flush() call to move the tail of the log forward in memory before the final transactions of the sync process were issued. As a result, the old code would write a very recent log tail value to the log by the end of the sync process, and so a subsequent crash would leave nothing for log recovery to do. Hence in qa test 182, log recovery only replayed a small handle for inode fsync transactions in this case. However, with the removal of the extra ->sync_fs call, the log tail was now not moved forward with the inode fsync transactions near the end of the sync procese the first (and only) buftarg flush occurred after these transactions went to disk. The result is that log recovery now sees a large number of transactions for metadata that is already on disk. This usually isn't a problem, but when the transactions include inode chunk allocation, the inode create transactions and all subsequent changes are replayed as we cannt rely on what is on disk is valid. As a result, if the inode was written and contains unlogged changes, the unlogged changes are lost, thereby violating sync semantics. The fix is to always issue a transaction after the buftarg flush occurs is the log iѕ not idle or covered. This results in a dummy transaction being written that contains the up-to-date log tail value, which will be very recent. Indeed, it will be at least as recent as the old code would have left on disk, so log recovery will behave exactly as it used to in this situation.
