This was the bug that was causing dual head (vga and mda) to lock up.

From Alex Tomas

We started using ext3_dx_readdir() for all dir_index filesystems, because
we want to return entries in hash order always, so that readdir with a
partial read + new entry added before next readdir won't be crazy.

So we now need to free the structure at filp->pricate_data even against
non-indexed directories.

Patch from "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

We now use 0x7ffffff as the EOF cookie, because Linux NFS stupidly interprets
the cookie (which is supposed to be a bag of bits without necessarily any
semantic value) as a signed 64 bit integer, and then converts it to a
unsigned integer, and then blows up if it cannot be expressed be expressed as
a 32-bit value!!

In order to do this, we have to fold the hash value 0x7ffffff into the hash
value 0x7ffffffe.  This is relatively safe; the only time we will lose if the
directory contains filenames that hash to both 0x7ffffffe and 0x7fffffff
(under the original hash), and the last directory entry which hashes to
0x7ffffffe is at the end of a leaf block, and the first directory entry which
hashes to 0x7fffffff is at the beginning of a leaf block.

Patch from "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

The following patch should (in theory) fix the htree/NFS readdir problems
that people have reported.  Specifically, it should fix the NFS looping on
EOF problem with readdir, as well as the problems caused by coverting a
directory to HTREE while an NFS readdir is in progress problem.

I'd appreciate it if people who can easily replicate these NFS/htree problems
could give this patch (against BK-recent / 2.5.63) a whirl.  Thanks!!

Below are the patches which reserve the Lustre EA index.  The rest of the
code is part of the Lustre tree, which isn't working with 2.5 yet.

From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com>

The new vmalloc() semantics from 2.5.32 had a race window.  As things stand,
the presence of a vm_area in the vmlist protects from allocators other than
the owner examining the ptes in that area.  This puts an ordering constraint
on unmapping, so that allocators are required to unmap areas before removing
them from the list or otherwise dropping the lock.

Currently, unmap_vm_area() is done outside the lock and after the area is
removed, which as we've seen from Felix von Leitner's test is oopsable.

The following patch folds calls to unmap_vm_area() into remove_vm_area() to
reinstate what are essentially the 2.4.x semantics of vfree().  This renders
a number of unmap_vm_area() calls unnecessary (and in fact oopsable since
they wipe ptes from later allocations).  It's an open question as to whether
this is sufficiently performant, but it is the minimally invasive approach.
The more performant alternative is to provide the right API hooks to wipe the
vmalloc() area clean before removing them from the list, using the ownership
of the area to eliminate holding the vmlist_lock for the duration of the
unmapping.  If it proves to be necessary wli is on standby to implement it.

de_thread calls list_del(&current->tasks), but current->tasks was never
added to the task list. The structure contains stale values from the parent.

switch_exec_pid() transforms a normal thread to a thread group leader.
Thread group leaders are included in the init_task.tasks linked list,
non-leaders are not in that list.  The patch adds the new thread group
leader to the linked list, otherwise de_thread corrupts the task list.

Rather than assuming that all the things which copy_process() calls want to
return -ENOMEM, correctly propagate the return values.

This turns out to be a no-op at present.

People like to see when the emergency sync and emergency remount operations
have completed.

The following is a patch to fix inconsistent use of the function
set_ioapic_affinity.  In the current kernel it is unclear as to weather the
value being passed to the function is a cpu mask or valid apic id.  In
irq_affinity_write_proc the kernel passes on a cpu mask but the kirqd thread
passes on logical apic ids.  In flat apic mode this is not an issue because a
cpu mask represents the apic value.  However in clustered apic mode the cpu
mask is very different from the logical apic id.

This is an attempt to do the right thing for clustered apics.  I clarify that
the value being passed to set_ioapic_affinity is a cpu mask not a apicid.
Set_ioapic_affinity will do the conversion to logical apic ids.  Since many
cpu masks don't map to valid apicids in clustered apic mode TARGET_CPUS is
used as a default value when such a situation occurs.  I think this is a good
step in making irq_affinity clustered apic safe.
