If we have the struct pnp_dev available, we can use dev_info(), dev_err(), etc., to give a little more information and consistency. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warning] Signed-off-by:

Remove some null pointer checks. Null pointers in these areas indicate programming errors, and I think it's better to oops immediately rather than return an error that is easily ignored. Signed-off-by:

Most drivers for devices supporting ISA DMA can operate without DMA as well (falling back zo PIO). Thus it seems inappropriate for PNP to fail device initialization in case none of the possible DMA channels are available. Instead, it should be left to the driver to decide what to do if request_dma() fails. The patch at once adjusts the code to account for the fact that pnp_assign_dma() now doesn't need to report failure anymore. Signed-off-by:

Don't return -ENOENT for a read() on the fuse device when the request was aborted. Instead return -ENODEV, meaning the filesystem has been force-umounted or aborted. Previously ENOENT meant that the request was interrupted, but now the 'aborted' flag is not set in case of interrupts. Signed-off-by:

Don't set 'aborted' flag on a request if it's interrupted. We have to wait for the answer anyway, and this would only a very little time while copying the reply. This means, that write() on the fuse device will not return -ENOENT during normal operation, only if the filesystem is aborted by a forced umount or through the fusectl interface. This could simplify userspace code somewhat when backward compatibility with earlier kernel versions is not required. Signed-off-by:

The VFS checks sticky bits on the parent directory even if the filesystem defines it's own ->permission(). In some situations (sshfs, mountlo, etc) the user does have permission to delete a file even if the attribute based checking would not allow it. So work around this by storing the permission bits separately and returning them in stat(), but cutting the permission bits off from inode->i_mode. This is slightly hackish, but it's probably not worth it to add new infrastructure in VFS and a slight performance penalty for all filesystems, just for the sake of fuse.

Other than truncate, there are two cases, when fuse tries to get rid of cached pages: a) in open, if KEEP_CACHE flag is not set b) in getattr, if file size changed spontaneously Until now invalidate_mapping_pages() were used, which didn't get rid of mapped pages. This is wrong, and becomes more wrong as dirty pages are introduced. So instead properly invalidate all pages with invalidate_inode_pages2(). Signed-off-by:

Memory mappings were only truncated on an explicit truncate, but not when the file size was changed externally. Fix this by moving the truncation code from fuse_setattr to fuse_change_attributes. Yes, there are races between write and and external truncation, but we can't really do anything about them. Signed-off-by:

Make lifetime of 'struct fuse_file' independent from 'struct file' by adding a reference counter and destructor. This will enable asynchronous page writeback, where it cannot be guaranteed, that the file is not released while a request with this file handle is being served. The actual RELEASE request is only sent when there are no more references to the fuse_file. Signed-off-by:

The floppy drive is slow. These days I see absolutely no good reason why the floppy driver should try to gain a tiny bit of speed by telling gcc to optimize access to some variables via the register keyword. Better to just leave gcc free to do whatever optimizations it deduces to be sane and not hamper it by telling it that some variables in the floppy driver are special and need to be fast (they don't).

Yes, some of this will likely be replaced in later patches, but I do not see anyone else coming out of the woodwork with any patches for this driver, so I'll ignore comments about churn.

Currently move_task_off_dead_cpu() is called under write_lock_irq(tasklist). This means it can't use task_lock() which is needed to improve migrating to take task's ->cpuset into account. Change the code to call move_task_off_dead_cpu() with irqs enabled, and change migrate_live_tasks() to use read_lock(tasklist).

The 'degraded' attribute is useful to quickly determine if the array is degraded, instead of parsing 'mdadm -D' output or relying on the other techniques (number of working devices against number of defined devices, etc.). The md code already keeps track of this attribute, so it's useful to export it. Signed-off-by:

When an array is started read-only, MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED can be set but no recovery will be running. This causes 'sync_action' to report the wrong value. We could remove the test for MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED, but doing so would leave a small gap after requesting a sync action, where 'sync_action' would still report the old value. So make sure that for a read-only array, 'sync_action' always returns 'idle'. Signed-off-by:

In current release kernels the md module (Software RAID) uses a static array (dev_t[128]) to store partition/device info temporarily for autostart. I discovered this (and that the devices are added as disks/partitions are discovered at boot) while I was debugging why only one of my MD arrays would come up whole, while all the others were short a disk. I eventually discovered that it was enumerating through all of 9 of my 11 hds (2 had only 4 partitions apiece) while the other 9 have 15 partitions (I wanted 64 per drive...). The last partition of the 8th drive in my 9 drive raid 5 sets wasn't added, thus making the final md array short both a parity and data disk, and it was started later, elsewhere. This patch replaces that static array with a list. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: removed unused var] Signed-off-by:

After making dirty a 100M file, the normal behavior is to start the writeback for all data after 30s delays. But sometimes the following happens instead: - after 30s: ~4M - after 5s: ~4M - after 5s: all remaining 92M Some analyze shows that the internal io dispatch queues goes like this: s_io s_more_io ------------------------- 1) 100M,1K 0 2) 1K 96M 3) 0 96M 1) initial state with a 100M file and a 1K file 2) 4M written, nr_to_write <= 0, so write more 3) 1K written, nr_to_write > 0, no more writes(BUG) nr_to_write > 0 in (3) fools the upper layer to think that data have all been written out. The big dirty file is actually still sitting in s_more_io. We cannot simply splice s_more_io back to s_io as soon as s_io becomes empty, and let the loop in generic_sync_sb_inodes() continue: this may starve newly expired inodes in s_dirty. It is also not an option to draw inodes from both s_more_io and s_dirty, an let the loop go on: this might lead to live locks, and might also starve other superblocks in sync time(well kupdate may still starve some superblocks, that's another bug). We have to return when a full scan of s_io completes. So nr_to_write > 0 does not necessarily mean that "all data are written". This patch introduces a flag writeback_control.more_io to indicate this situation. With it the big dirty file no longer has to wait for the next kupdate invocation 5s later.

So basicly no page io is issued by __block_write_full_page(), hence pages_skipped goes up. Also the comment in generic_sync_sb_inodes(): 544 /* 545 * writeback is not making progress due to locked 546 * buffers. Skip this inode for now. 547 */ and the comment in __block_write_full_page(): 1713 /* 1714 * The page was marked dirty, but the buffers were 1715 * clean. Someone wrote them back by hand with 1716 * ll_rw_block/submit_bh. A rare case. 1717 */ do not quite agree with each other. The page writeback should be skipped for 'locked buffer', but here it is 'clean buffer'! This patch fixes this bug. Though I'm not sure why __block_write_full_page() is called only to do nothing and who actually issued the writeback for us. This is the two possible new behaviors after the patch: 1) pretty nice: wait 30s and write ALL:) 2) not so good: - during the dd: ~16M - after 30s: ~4M - after 5s: ~4M - after 5s: ~176M The next patch will fix case (2).

Streamline the management of dirty inode lists and fix time ordering bugs. The writeback logic used to move not-yet-expired dirty inodes from s_dirty to s_io, *only to* move them back. The move-inodes-back-and-forth thing is a mess, which is eliminated by this patch. The new scheme is: - s_dirty acts as a time ordered io delaying queue; - s_io/s_more_io together acts as an io dispatching queue. On kupdate writeback, we pull some inodes from s_dirty to s_io at the start of every full scan of s_io. Otherwise (i.e. for sync/throttle/background writeback), we always pull from s_dirty on each run (a partial scan). Note that the line list_splice_init(&sb->s_more_io, &sb->s_io); is moved to queue_io() to leave s_io empty. Otherwise a big dirtied file will sit in s_io for a long time, preventing new expired inodes to get in. Cc: Ken Chen <kenchen@google.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by:

Current -mm tree has bucketful of bug fixes in periodic writeback path. However, we still hit a glitch where dirty pages on a given inode aren't completely flushed to the disk, and system will accumulate large amount of dirty pages beyond what dirty_expire_interval is designed for. The problem is __sync_single_inode() will move an inode to sb->s_dirty list even when there are more pending dirty pages on that inode. If there is another inode with a small number of dirty pages, we hit a case where the loop iteration in wb_kupdate() terminates prematurely because wbc.nr_to_write > 0. Thus leaving the inode that has large amount of dirty pages behind and it has to wait for another dirty_writeback_interval before we flush it again. We effectively only write out MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES every dirty_writeback_interval. If the rate of dirtying is sufficiently high, the system will start accumulate a large number of dirty pages. So fix it by having another sb->s_more_io list on which to park the inode while we iterate through sb->s_io and to allow each dirty inode which resides on that sb to have an equal chance of flushing some amount of dirty pages.

This one fixes four bugs. There are a few situation in there where writeback decides it is going to skip over a blockdev inode on the kernel-internal blockdev superblock. It presently does this by moving the blockdev inode onto the tail of the blockdev superblock's s_dirty. But a) this screws up s_dirty's reverse-time-orderedness and b) refiling the blockdev for writeback in another 30 second is rude. We should try again sooner than that. Fix all this up by using redirty_head(): move the blockdev inode onto the head of the blockdev superblock's s_dirty list for prompt writeback. Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Signed-off-by:

Recycling the previous changelog: When the writeback function is operating in writeback-for-flushing mode (as opposed to writeback-for-integrity) and it encounters an I_LOCKed inode, it will skip writing that inode. This is done for throughput and latency: move on to another inode rather than blocking for this one. Writeback skips this inode by moving it off s_io and onto s_dirty, so that writeback can proceed with the other inodes on s_io. However that inode movement can corrupt s_dirty's reverse-time-orderedness. Fix that by using the new redirty_tail(), which will update the refiled inode's dirtied_when field. Note: the behaviour in here is a bit rude: if kupdate happens to come across a locked inode then it will defer writeback of that inode for another 30 seconds. We'll address that in the next patch. Address that here. What we do is to move the skipped inode to the _head_ of s_dirty, immediately eligible for writeout again. Instead of deferring that writeout for another 30 seconds. One would think that this might cause a livelock: we keep on trying to write the same locked inode. But it won't because: a) if that was the case, it would _already_ be happening on the balance_dirty_pages codepath. Because balance_dirty_pages() doesn't care about inode timestamps. b) if we skipped this inode then we won't have done any writeback. The higher-level writeback paths will see that wbc.nr_to_write didn't change and they'll then back off and take a nap. Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Signed-off-by:
