This patch reduces the number of sequential pointer derefs in drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c This has been submitted a number of times over a couple of years. I believe this version adresses all comments it has gathered over time. Please apply or reject with a reason. The benefits are: - makes the code easier to read. Lots of sequential derefs of the same pointers is not easy on the eye. - theoretically at least, just dereferencing the pointers once can allow the compiler to generally slightly faster code, so in theory this could also be a micro speed optimization. - reduces size of object file (tiny effect: on x86-64, in at least one configuration, the text size decreased from 9439 bytes to 9400) - removes some pointless (mostly trailing) whitespace.

Remove incorrect Matrox G200eV support that was previously added by commit e3a19388 A serious issue with the incorrect G200eV support that reproduces on the Matrox G200eV equipped IBM x3650 M2 is the total lack of text (login banner, login prompt, etc) on the console when X is not running and total lack of text on all of the virtual consoles after X is started. Any concerns that the incorrect code (upstream since October 2008) has been successfully used on non-IBM G200eV equipped system(s) appear to be unwarranted. In addition to the serious/non-intermittent nature of issues that have been spotted on IBM systems, complete removal of the incorrect code is clearly supported by the following Matrox (Yannick Heneault) provided input: "It impossible that this patch should have work on a system. The patch only declare the G200eV as a regular G200 which is not case. Many registers are different, including at least the PLL programming sequence. If the G200eV is programmed like a regular G200, it will not display anything." v1 - Initial patch that removed the incorrect code for _all_ G200eV equipped systems. v2 - Darrick Wong provided patch that blacklisted the incorrect code on G200eV equipped IBM systems leaving it enabled on all G200eV equipped non-IBM systems. v3 - Same code changes included with v1 plus additional justification for complete removal of the incorrect code.

Userland should be able to trust the pid and uid of the sender of a signal if the si_code is SI_TKILL. Unfortunately, the kernel has historically allowed sigqueueinfo() to send any si_code at all (as long as it was negative - to distinguish it from kernel-generated signals like SIGILL etc), so it could spoof a SI_TKILL with incorrect siginfo values. Happily, it looks like glibc has always set si_code to the appropriate SI_QUEUE, so there are probably no actual user code that ever uses anything but the appropriate SI_QUEUE flag. So just tighten the check for si_code (we used to allow any negative value), and add a (one-time) warning in case there are binaries out there that might depend on using other si_code values.

Make the LM75/LM75A device detection faster: * Don't read the current temperature value when we don't use it. * Check for unused bits in the configuration register as soon as we have read its value. * Don't use word reads, not all devices support this, and some which don't misbehave when you try. * Check for cycling register values every 40 register addresses instead of every 8, it's 5 times faster and just as efficient. Some of these improvements come straight from the user-space sensors-detect script, so both detection routines are in line now.

The usage of find_first_zero_bit() in bfs_create() is wrong for two reasons. The bitmap size argument to find_first_zero_bit() is info->si_lasti but the correct bitmap size is info->si_lasti + 1 as info->si_lasti is the last valid index in info->si_imap bitmap. Another problem is that it is impossible to detect that info->si_imap bitmap is full because there is an off-by-one bug in the return value check for find_first_zero_bit(). If no zero bits exist in info->si_imap, find_first_zero_bit() returns info->si_lasti. But the check can't catch it due to the off-by-one.

Sage Weil authored
It is frequently useful to sync a single file system, instead of all mounted file systems via sync(2): - On machines with many mounts, it is not at all uncommon for some of them to hang (e.g. unresponsive NFS server). sync(2) will get stuck on those and may never get to the one you do care about (e.g., /). - Some applications write lots of data to the file system and then want to make sure it is flushed to disk. Calling fsync(2) on each file introduces unnecessary ordering constraints that result in a large amount of sub-optimal writeback/flush/commit behavior by the file system. There are currently two ways (that I know of) to sync a single super_block: - BLKFLSBUF ioctl on the block device: That also invalidates the bdev mapping, which isn't usually desirable, and doesn't work for non-block file systems. - 'mount -o remount,rw' will call sync_filesystem as an artifact of the current implemention. Relying on this little-known side effect for something like data safety sounds foolish. Both of these approaches require root privileges, which some applications do not have (nor should they need?) given that sync(2) is an unprivileged operation. This patch introduces a new system call syncfs(2) that takes an fd and syncs only the file system it references. Maybe someday we can $ sync /some/path and not get sync: ignoring all arguments The syscall is motivated by comments by Al and Christoph at the last LSF. syncfs(2) seems like an appropriate name given statfs(2). A similar ioctl was also proposed a while back, see http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=127970513829285&w=2Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
