[PATCH] stale POSIX lock handling
I believe that there is a problem with the handling of POSIX locks, which
the attached patch should address.
The problem appears to be a race between fcntl(2) and close(2). A
multithreaded application could close a file descriptor at the same time as
it is trying to acquire a lock using the same file descriptor. I would
suggest that that multithreaded application is not providing the proper
synchronization for itself, but the OS should still behave correctly.
SUS3 (Single UNIX Specification Version 3, read: POSIX) indicates that when
a file descriptor is closed, that all POSIX locks on the file, owned by the
process which closed the file descriptor, should be released.
The trick here is when those locks are released. The current code releases
all locks which exist when close is processing, but any locks in progress
are handled when the last reference to the open file is released.
There are three cases to consider.
One is the simple case, a multithreaded (mt) process has a file open and
races to close it and acquire a lock on it. In this case, the close will
release one reference to the open file and when the fcntl is done, it will
release the other reference. For this situation, no locks should exist on
the file when both the close and fcntl operations are done. The current
system will handle this case because the last reference to the open file is
being released.
The second case is when the mt process has dup(2)'d the file descriptor.
The close will release one reference to the file and the fcntl, when done,
will release another, but there will still be at least one more reference
to the open file. One could argue that the existence of a lock on the file
after the close has completed is okay, because it was acquired after the
close operation and there is still a way for the application to release the
lock on the file, using an existing file descriptor.
The third case is when the mt process has forked, after opening the file
and either before or after becoming an mt process. In this case, each
process would hold a reference to the open file. For each process, this
degenerates to first case above. However, the lock continues to exist
until both processes have released their references to the open file. This
lock could block other lock requests.
The changes to release the lock when the last reference to the open file
aren't quite right because they would allow the lock to exist as long as
there was a reference to the open file. This is too long.
The new proposed solution is to add support in the fcntl code path to
detect a race with close and then to release the lock which was just
acquired when such as race is detected. This causes locks to be released
in a timely fashion and for the system to conform to the POSIX semantic
specification.
This was tested by instrumenting a kernel to detect the handling locks and
then running a program which generates case #3 above. A dangling lock
could be reliably generated. When the changes to detect the close/fcntl
race were added, a dangling lock could no longer be generated.

The find_next_{zero}_bit primitives on s390* should never return a bit number
bigger then the bit field size. In the case of a bitfield that doesn't end on
a word boundary, an offset that makes the search start at the last word of the
bit field and the last word doesn't contain any zero/one bits the search is
continued with a call to find_first_bit with a negative size. The search
normally ends pretty quickly because the words following the bit field contain
a mix of zeros and ones. But the bit number that is returned in this case is
too big.
To fix this and additional if to check for this case is needed. To make the
code easier to read I removed the assembler parts from the
find_next_{zero}_bit functions, the C-ified code is as good.

Split spin lock and r/w lock implementation into a single try which is done
inline and an out of line function that repeatedly tries to get the lock
before doing the cpu_relax(). Add a system control to set the number of
retries before a cpu is yielded.
The reason for the spin lock retry is that the diagnose 0x44 that is used to
give up the virtual cpu is quite expensive. For spin locks that are held only
for a short period of time the costs of the diagnoses outweights the savings
for spin locks that are held for a longer timer. The default retry count is

do_stab_bolted doesn't take a recursive fault on the stab itself), but
other than that there are no constraints which require the stabs for the
secondary CPUs to be statically allocated.
This patch allocates segment tables dynamically during boot, using
lmb_alloc() to ensure they are within the first 256M segment. This reduces

[PATCH] serial: MRi MRI-PCIDS1 dual port serial card
Add support for the MRi PCIDS1 dual port serial card. This card is a
little controversial since it is the subject of a PCI vendor/device ID
clash. (See
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0303.1/0516.html). I have
for now just used the hex ID 0x950a. The divisor was part calculated part
iterated, so may not be exactly correct (but works for me at all settings
between 300 - 115300 bps).

[PATCH] check_user_page_readable() deadlock fix
Fix bug identifued by Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>.
oprofile calls check_user_page_readable() from interrupt context, so we
deadlock over various VFS locks.
But check_user_page_readable() doesn't imply either a read or a write of the
page's contents. Change __follow_page() so that check_user_page_readable()
can tell __follow_page() that we're not accessing the page's contents, and use
that info to avoid the troublesome lock-takings.
Also, make follow_page() inline for the single callsite in memory.c to save a
bit of stack space.

Oliver Paukstadt from our test department is testing the xip patches in
Linus' git-tree. He found a problem that shows when reading a file that
contains sparse blocks (holes) on a -o xip mounted ext2 filesystem: the
BUG_ON() in fs/ext2/xip.c:40 triggers where it should not. The problem was
introduced by a cleanup in my previous patch, this patch fixes it.

[PATCH] ub: fix for blank CDs
This patch fixes a microcode lockup in my CD-ROM adapters when a blank CD
is inserted. However, do not try to burn CDs yet! I'm pretty sure that
trying it will end in coasters.
- Fix a few cases where we were unable to resynchronize with replies
for previous commands. The main thing is to keep reading replies
in case of a stall. This is done with the new state CLRRS.
- Since I am forgetting the basic state machine already, document it.
- Move counter increments in the looping path in its own function.
- Fix a harmless buglet in case CSW read fails to submit: do not
override state.
- Implement the Alan Stern's idea for adaptive signature checking.
