[GFS2] Fix unlink deadlocks
Move the glock acquisition to outside of the transactions.
Lock odering must be preserved in order to prevent ABBA
deadlocks. The current gfs2_change_nlink code would tries
to grab the glock after having started a transaction and thus is holding
the log lock. This is inconsistent with other code paths in
gfs that grab the resource group glock prior to staring
a tranactions.
One problem with this fix is that the resource group
lock is always grabbed now even if the inode still has
ref count and can not be marked for unlink.

Dave Teigland fixed this bug a while back, but I managed to mistakenly
remove the semaphore during later development. It is required to avoid
the list of inodes changing during an invalidate_inodes call. I have
made it an rwsem since the read side will be taken frequently during
normal filesystem operation. The write site will only happen during
umount of the file system.
Also the bug only triggers when using the DLM lock manager and only then
under certain conditions as its timing related.

[DLM] can miss clearing resend flag
A long, complicated sequence of events, beginning with the RESEND flag not
being cleared on an lkb, can result in an unlock never completing.
- lkb on waiters list for remote lookup
- the remote node is both the dir node and the master node, so
it optimizes the lookup into a request and sends a request
reply back
- the request reply is saved on the requestqueue to be processed
after recovery
- recovery runs dlm_recover_waiters_pre() which sets RESEND flag
so the lookup will be resent after recovery
- end of recovery: process_requestqueue takes saved request reply
which removes the lkb off the waitesr list, _without_ clearing
the RESEND flag
- end of recovery: dlm_recover_waiters_post() doesn't do anything
with the now completed lookup lkb (would usually clear RESEND)
- later, the node unmounts, unlocks this lkb that still has RESEND
flag set
- the lkb is on the waiters list again, now for unlock, when recovery
occurs, dlm_recover_waiters_pre() shows the lkb for unlock with RESEND
set, doesn't do anything since the master still exists
- end of recovery: dlm_recover_waiters_post() takes this lkb off
the waiters list because it has the RESEND flag set, then reports
an error because unlocks are never supposed to be handled in
recover_waiters_post().
- later, the unlock reply is received, doesn't find the lkb on
the waiters list because recover_waiters_post() has wrongly
removed it.
- the unlock operation has been lost, and we're left with a
stray granted lock
- unmount spins waiting for the unlock to complete
The visible evidence of this problem will be a node where gfs umount is
spinning, the dlm waiters list will be empty, and the dlm locks list will
show a granted lock.
The fix is simply to clear the RESEND flag when taking an lkb off the
waiters list.

This patch doesn't make any changes to the ordering of the various
operations related to glocking, but it does tidy up the calls to the
glops.c functions to make the structure more obvious.
The two functions: gfs2_glock_xmote_th() and gfs2_glock_drop_th() can be
made static within glock.c since they are called by every set of glock
operations. The xmote_th and drop_th glock operations are then made
conditional upon those two routines existing and called from the
previously mentioned functions in glock.c respectively.
Also it can be seen that the go_sync operation isn't needed since it can
easily be replaced by calls to xmote_bh and drop_bh respectively. This
results in no longer (confusingly) calling back into routines in glock.c
from glops.c and also reducing the glock operations by one member.

Here is a patch for GFS2 to remove the local exclusive flag. In
the places it was used, mutex's are always held earlier in the

Also, the GFS2 holders were setting local exclusive in any case where
the requested lock was LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE. So the other places in the glock
code where the flag was tested have been replaced with tests for the
lock state being LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE in order to ensure the logic is the
same as before (i.e. LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE is always locally exclusive as well
as globally exclusive).

[GFS2] Remove the "greedy" function from glock.[ch]
The "greedy" code was an attempt to retain glocks for a minimum length
of time when they relate to mmap()ed files. The current implementation
of this feature is not, however, ideal in that it required allocating
memory in order to do this and its overly complicated.
It also misses the mark by ignoring the other I/O operations which are
just as likely to suffer from the same problem. So the plan is to remove
this now and then add the functionality back as part of the glock state
machine at a later date (and thus take into account all the possible

Here is something I spotted (while looking for something entirely
different) the other day.
Rather than using a completion in each and every struct gfs2_holder,
this removes it in favour of hashed wait queues, thus saving a
considerable amount of memory both on the stack (where a number of
gfs2_holder structures are allocated) and in particular in the
gfs2_inode which has 8 gfs2_holder structures embedded within it.
As a result on x86_64 the gfs2_inode shrinks from 2488 bytes to
1912 bytes, a saving of 576 bytes per inode (no thats not a typo!).
In actual practice we get a much better result than that since
now that a gfs2_inode is under the 2048 byte barrier, we get two
per 4k slab page effectively halving the amount of memory required
to store gfs2_inodes.

This removes the extra filldir callback which gfs2 was using to
enclose an attempt at readahead for inodes during readdir. The
code was too complicated and also hurts performance badly in the
case that the getdents64/readdir call isn't being followed by
stat() and it wasn't even getting it right all the time when it
was.
As a result, on my test box an "ls" of a directory containing 250000
files fell from about 7mins (freshly mounted, so nothing cached) to
between about 15 to 25 seconds. When the directory content was cached,
the time taken fell from about 3mins to about 4 or 5 seconds.
Interestingly in the cached case, running "ls -l" once reduced the time
taken for subsequent runs of "ls" to about 6 secs even without this
patch. Now it turns out that there was a special case of glocks being
used for prefetching the metadata, but because of the timeouts for these
locks (set to 10 secs) the metadata was being timed out before it was
being used and this the prefetch code was constantly trying to prefetch
the same data over and over.
Calling "ls -l" meant that the inodes were brought into memory and once
the inodes are cached, the glocks are not disposed of until the inodes
are pushed out of the cache, thus extending the lifetime of the glocks,
and thus bringing down the time for subsequent runs of "ls"
considerably.

sequence is aborted before lock recovery happens, then in the next
sequence, we rely on the previous master recovery (which may now be
invalid due to another node ignoring a lookup result) and go on do to the
lock recovery where we get stuck due to an invalid master value.
recovery cycle begins: master of rsb X has left
nodes A and B send node C an rcom lookup for X to find the new master
C gets lookup from B first, sets B as new master, and sends reply back to B
C gets lookup from A next, and sends reply back to A saying B is master
A gets lookup reply from C and sets B as the new master in the rsb
recovery cycle on A, B and C is aborted to start a new recovery
B gets lookup reply from C and ignores it since there's a new recovery
recovery cycle begins: some other node has joined
B doesn't think it's the master of X so it doesn't rebuild it in the directory
C looks up the master of X, no one is master, so it becomes new master
B looks up the master of X, finds it's C
A believes that B is the master of X, so it sends its lock to B
B sends an error back to A
A resends
this repeats forever, the incorrect master value on A is never corrected

flag set from an earlier recovery sequence, and therefore didn't complete

locking order is defined as i_mutex -> glock in all cases.
I've left dealing with allocating writes. I know that we need to do
that, but for now this should do the trick. We don't need to take the
i_mutex on write, because the VFS has already taken it for us. On read
we don't need it since the glock is enough protection. The reason that
I've made some of the checks into a separate function is that we'll need
to do the checks again in the allocating write case eventually, so this
is partly in preparation for this. Likewise the return value test of !=
1 might look a bit odd and thats because we'll need a third return value
in case of requiring an allocation.
I've made the change to deferred mode on the glock to ensure flushing
read caches on other nodes. I notice that (using blktrace to look at
whats going on) we appear to do a better job of large I/Os than ext3

Add code in acpi_unregister_gsi() to check if (acpi_irq_model ==
ACPI_IRQ_MODEL_PLATFORM) and return.
Due to an oversight, this code was not added previously when
similar code was added to acpi_register_gsi().

[PATCH] kexec: Avoid migration of already disabled irqs (ia64)
This patch fixes up ia64 kexec support for HP rx2620 hardware. It does
this by skipping migration of already disabled irqs. This is most likely a
problem on other ia64 platforms as well, but I've only been able to
reproduce it on one machine so far.
The full story is that handle_bad_irq() gets invoked before starting the
new kernel without this patch. This seems to happen when fixup_irqs()
calls generic_handle_irq() on already migrated (and disabled) irqs. So by
avoiding migration of disabled irqs we stay away of handle_bad_irq().
The code has been tested on three different ia64 machines, all with good
results. It is possible to trigger the same bug by offlining a processor
using echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online.

flush_workqueue() is not allowed to be called in the softirq context.
However, aio_complete() called from I/O interrupt can potentially call
put_ioctx with last ref count on ioctx and triggers bug. It is simply
incorrect to perform ioctx freeing from aio_complete.
The bug is trigger-able from a race between io_destroy() and aio_complete().
A possible scenario:
The real problem is that the condition check of ctx->reqs_active in
wait_for_all_aios() is incorrect that access to reqs_active is not
being properly protected by spin lock.
This patch adds that protective spin lock, and at the same time removes
all duplicate ref counting for each kiocb as reqs_active is already used
as a ref count for each active ioctx. This also ensures that buggy call
to flush_workqueue() in softirq context is eliminated.

[SCSI] sd: udev accessing an uninitialized scsi_disk field results in a crash
sd_probe() calls class_device_add() even before initializing the
sdkp->device variable. class_device_add() eventually results in the user mode
udev program to be called. udev program can read the the allow_restart
attribute of the newly created scsi device. This is resulting in a crash as
the show function for allow_restart (i.e sd_show_allow_restart) returns the
attribute value by reading the sdkp->device->allow_restart variable. As the
sdkp->device is not initialized before calling the user mode hotplug helper,
this results in a crash.
The patch below solves it by calling class_device_add() only after the
necessary fields in the scsi_disk structure are initialized properly.

ahci/pata_jmicron: fix JMicron quirk
For all JMicrons except for 361 and 368, AHCI mode enable bits in the
Control(1) should be set. This used to be done in both ahci and
pata_jmicron but while moving programming to PCI quirk, it was removed
from ahci part while still left in pata_jmicron.
The implemented JMicron PCI quirk was incorrect in that it didn't
program AHCI mode enable bits. If pata_jmicron is loaded first and
programs those bits, the ahci ports work; otherwise, ahci device
detection fails miserably.
This patch makes JMicron PCI quirk clear SATA IDE mode bits and set

It's not wrong, but it's not right either, and everybody seems to agree
that the right fix is probably to do the ccr3 write after the ccr4 one
(and that we also should clean it up a bit). And after that we need to
really validate that all the bits that we write to ccr4 actually do
work.
The old 2.6.19 code was insane, and basically didn't change ccr4 at all
(even though it certainly looks like it was the *intent* to do so). So
let's revert the change that may fix things, just because it's not what
was actually ever tested when the code was written, even if it _was_ the
intent.
There's a discussion on http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/9/63 that was
started by the patch that now gets reverted, and that discussion may
well contain the proper long-term fix.

They are generated by genksyms - EXPORT_... generates a weak alias, then
genksyms produces an ld script with __crc_<symbol> = <checksum> and it's
fed to ld to produce the final object file. Their only use is to match
kernel and module at modprobe time; they _must_ be absolute.
boot/compressed/relocs has a whitelist of known absolute symbols, but
