[PATCH] Fix kdump Crash Kernel boot memory reservation for NUMA machines
This patch will fix a boot memory reservation bug that trashes memory on
the ES7000 when loading the kdump crash kernel.
The code in arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c to reserve boot memory for the crash
kernel uses the non-numa aware "reserve_bootmem" function instead of the
NUMA aware "reserve_bootmem_generic". I checked to make sure that no other
function was using "reserve_bootmem" and found none, except the ones that
had NUMA ifdef'ed out.
I have tested this patch only on an ES7000 with NUMA on and off (numa=off)
in a single (non-NUMA) and multi-cell (NUMA) configurations.

[PATCH] pacct: none-delayed process accounting accumulation
In current 2.6.17 implementation, signal_struct refered from task_struct is
used for per-process data structure. The pacct facility also uses it as a
per-process data structure to store stime, utime, minflt, majflt. But those
members are saved in __exit_signal(). It's too late.
For example, if some threads exits at same time, pacct facility has a
possibility to drop accountings for a part of those threads. (see, the
following 'The results of original 2.6.17 kernel') I think accounting
information should be completely collected into the per-process data structure
before writing out an accounting record.
This patch fixes this matter. Accumulation of stime, utime, minflt and majflt
are done before generating accounting record.

When pacct facility generate an 'ac_flag' field in accounting record, it

Therefore, pacct facility drops ASU flag even if root-privilege operations are

always set when the thread of group-leader didn't die last, although this
process has called execve() after fork().
We have a same matter in ac_exitcode. The recorded ac_exitcode is an exit

[PATCH] Fix bounds check in vsnprintf, to allow for a 0 size and NULL buffer
This change allows callers to use a 0-byte buffer and a NULL buffer pointer
with vsnprintf, so it can be used to determine how large the resulting
formatted string will be.
Previously the code effectively treated a size of 0 as a size of 4G (on
32-bit systems), with other checks preventing it from actually trying to
emit the string - but the terminal \0 would still be written, which would
crash if the buffer is NULL.
This change changes the boundary check so that 'end' points to the putative
location of the terminal '\0', which is only written if size > 0.
vsnprintf still allows the buffer size to be set very large, to allow
unbounded buffer sizes (to implement sprintf, etc).

If OLDNAME is a symlink setting the flag causes linkat to follow the

behavior POSIX demands for link() as well but Linux wisely does not do
this. With this flag (which will most likely be in the next POSIX
revision) the programmer can choose the behavior, defaulting to the safe
variant. As a side effect it is now possible to implement a
POSIX-compliant link(2) function for those who are interested.

The XTEA algorithm is implemented inline since it's simple enough to do so,
and this adds less complexity than if the crypto API were used.

[PATCH] fuse: add request interruption
Add synchronous request interruption. This is needed for file locking
operations which have to be interruptible. However filesystem may implement
interruptibility of other operations (e.g. like NFS 'intr' mount option).

[PATCH] fuse: ensure FLUSH reaches userspace
All POSIX locks owned by the current task are removed on close(). If the
FLUSH request resulting initiated by close() fails to reach userspace, there
might be locks remaining, which cannot be removed.
The only reason it could fail, is if allocating the request fails. In this
case use the request reserved for RELEASE, or if that is currently used by
another FLUSH, wait for it to become available.

[PATCH] fuse: add POSIX file locking support
This patch adds POSIX file locking support to the fuse interface.
This implementation doesn't keep any locking state in kernel. Unlocking on
close() is handled by the FLUSH message, which now contains the lock owner id.
Mandatory locking is not supported. The filesystem may enfoce mandatory
locking in userspace if needed.

[PATCH] fuse: add control filesystem
Add a control filesystem to fuse, replacing the attributes currently exported
through sysfs. An empty directory '/sys/fs/fuse/connections' is still created
in sysfs, and mounting the control filesystem here provides backward
compatibility.
Advantages of the control filesystem over the previous solution:
- allows the object directory and the attributes to be owned by the
filesystem owner, hence letting unpriviled users abort the
filesystem connection
- does not suffer from module unload race

[PATCH] fuse: no backgrounding on interrupt
Don't put requests into the background when a fatal interrupt occurs while the
request is in userspace. This removes a major wart from the implementation.
Backgrounding of requests was introduced to allow breaking of deadlocks.
However now the same can be achieved by aborting the filesystem through the
'abort' sysfs attribute.
This is a change in the interface, but should not cause problems, since these
kinds of deadlocks never happen during normal operation.

[PATCH] Another couple of alterations to the memory barrier doc
Make another couple of alterations to the memory barrier document following
suggestions by Alan Stern and in co-operation with Paul McKenney:
(*) Rework the point of introduction of memory barriers and the description
of what they are to reiterate why they're needed.
(*) Modify a statement about the use of data dependency barriers to note that
other barriers can be used instead (as they imply DD-barriers).

[PATCH] autofs4: need to invalidate children on tree mount expire
I've found a case where invalid dentrys in a mount tree, waiting to be
cleaned up by d_invalidate, prevent the expected expire.
In this case dentrys created during a lookup for which a mount fails or has
no entry in the mount map contribute to the d_count of the parent dentry.
These dentrys may not be invalidated prior to comparing the interanl usage
count of valid autofs dentrys against the dentry d_count which makes a
mount tree appear busy so it doesn't expire.
