When freeing an inode that lost race getting added to the inode cache we must not call into ->destroy_inode, because that would delete the inode that won the race from the inode cache radix tree. This patch uses splits a new xfs_inode_free helper out of xfs_ireclaim and uses that plus __destroy_inode to make sure we really only free the memory allocted for the inode that lost the race, and not mess with the inode cache state.

When we want to tear down an inode that lost the add to the cache race in XFS we must not call into ->destroy_inode because that would delete the inode that won the race from the inode cache radix tree. This patch provides the __destroy_inode helper needed to fix this, the actual fix will be in th next patch. As XFS was the only reason destroy_inode was exported we shift the export to the new __destroy_inode. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@sandeen.net>

Currently inode_init_always calls into ->destroy_inode if the additional initialization fails. That's not only counter-intuitive because inode_init_always did not allocate the inode structure, but in case of XFS it's actively harmful as ->destroy_inode might delete the inode from a radix-tree that has never been added. This in turn might end up deleting the inode for the same inum that has been instanciated by another process and cause lots of cause subtile problems. Also in the case of re-initializing a reclaimable inode in XFS it would free an inode we still want to keep alive.

Use 'atomic_dec_and_lock()' to make sure that we always hold the tty_ldisc_lock when the ldisc count goes to zero. That way we can never race against 'tty_ldisc_try()' increasing the count again.

By using the user count for the actual lifetime rules, we can get rid of the silly "wait_for_idle" logic, because any busy ldisc will automatically stay around until the last user releases it. This avoids a host of odd issues, and simplifies the code. So now, when the last ldisc reference is dropped, we just release the ldisc operations struct reference, and free the ldisc. It looks obvious enough, and it does work for me, but the counting _could_ be off. It probably isn't (bad counting in the new version would generally imply that the old code did something really bad, like free an ldisc with a non-zero count), but it does need some testing, and preferably somebody looking at it. With this change, both 'tty_ldisc_put()' and 'tty_ldisc_deref()' are just aliases for the new ref-counting 'put_ldisc()'. Both of them decrement the ldisc user count and free it if it goes down to zero. They're identical functions, in other words. But the reason they still exist as sepate functions is that one of them was exported (tty_ldisc_deref) and had a stupid name (so I don't want to use it as the main name), and the other one was used in multiple places (and I didn't want to make the patch larger just to rename the users). In addition to the refcounting, I did do some minimal cleanup. For example, now "tty_ldisc_try()" actually returns the ldisc it got under the lock, rather than returning true/false and then the caller would look up the ldisc again (now without the protection of the lock). That said, there's tons of dubious use of 'tty->ldisc' without obviously proper locking or refcounting left. I expressly did _not_ want to try to fix it all, keeping the patch minimal. There may or may not be bugs in that kind of code, but they wouldn't be _new_ bugs. That said, even if the bugs aren't new, the timing and lifetime will change. For example, some silly code may depend on the 'tty->ldisc' pointer not changing because they hold a refcount on the 'ldisc'. And that's no longer true - if you hold a ref on the ldisc, the 'ldisc' itself is safe, but tty->ldisc may change. So the proper locking (remains) to hold tty->ldisc_mutex if you expect tty->ldisc to be stable. That's not really a _new_ rule, but it's an example of something that the old code might have unintentionally depended on and hidden bugs. Whatever. The patch _looks_ sensible to me. The only users of ldisc->users are: - get_ldisc() - atomically increment the count - put_ldisc() - atomically decrements the count and releases if zero - tty_ldisc_try_get() - creates the ldisc, and sets the count to 1. The ldisc should then either be released, or be attached to a tty.

This is pure preparation of changing the ldisc reference counting to be a true refcount that defines the lifetime of the ldisc. But this is a purely syntactic change for now to make the next steps easier. This patch should make no semantic changes at all. But I wanted to make the ldisc refcount be an atomic (I will be touching it without locks soon enough), and I wanted to rename it so that there isn't quite as much confusion between 'ldo->refcount' (ldisk operations refcount) and 'ld->refcount' (ldisc refcount itself) in the same file. So it's now an atomic 'ld->users' count. It still starts at zero, despite having a reference from 'tty->ldisc', but that will change once we turn it into a _real_ refcount.

Commit ee88415c introduced this regression when it removed enable bit in cpu_dbs_info_s. That added a possibility of dbs_cpufreq_notifier getting called for a CPU that is not yet managed by conservative governor. That will happen as the transition notifier is set as soon as one CPU switches to conservative governor and other CPUs can get a NULL pointer dereference without the enable bit check. Add the enable bit back again.

The TWL4030 IRQ handler has a bug which leads to spinlock lock-up. It is calling the 'unmask' function in a process context. :The mask/unmask/ack functions are only designed to be called from the IRQ handler code, or the proper API interfaces found in linux/interrupt.h. Also there is no need to have IRQ chaining mechanism. The right way to handle this is to claim the parent interrupt as a standard interrupt and arrange for handle_twl4030_pih to take care of the rest of the devices.

In uv_setup_irq(), the call to create_irq() initially assigns IRQ vectors to cpu 0. The subsequent call to assign_irq_vector() in arch_enable_uv_irq() migrates the IRQ to another cpu and frees the cpu 0 vector - at least it will be freed as soon as the "IRQ move" completes. arch_enable_uv_irq() needs to send a cleanup IPI to complete the IRQ move. Otherwise, assignment of GRU interrupts on large systems (>200 cpus) will exhaust the cpu 0 interrupt vectors and initialization of the GRU driver will fail.

With VMALLOC_END included in the calculation of MAXMEM (as of 2.6.28) it is no longer correct to also bump __VMALLOC_RESERVE in reserve_top_address(). Doing so results in needlessly small lowmem.
