Normally we could skip ever having to allocate a block in the case where the client asks for a non-blocking lock, or asks for a blocking lock that succeeds immediately. However we're going to want to always look up a block first in order to check whether we're revisiting a deferred lock call, and to be prepared to handle the case where the filesystem returns -EINPROGRESS--in that case we want to make sure the lock we've given the filesystem is the one embedded in the block that we'll use to track the deferred request.

Rewrite nlmsvc_testlock() to use the new asynchronous interface: instead of immediately doing a posix_test_lock(), we first look for a matching block. If the subsequent test_lock returns anything other than -EINPROGRESS, we then remove the block we've found and return the results. If it returns -EINPROGRESS, then we defer the lock request. In the case where the block we find in the first step has B_QUEUED set, we bypass the vfs_test_lock entirely, instead using the block to decide how to respond: with nlm_lck_denied if B_TIMED_OUT is set. with nlm_granted if B_GOT_CALLBACK is set. by dropping if neither B_TIMED_OUT nor B_GOT_CALLBACK is set Signed-off-by: Marc Eshel <eshel@almaden.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: J.

Change NLM internal interface to pass more information for test lock; we need this to make sure the cookie information is pushed down to the place where we do request deferral, which is handled for testlock by the following patch.

We need to keep some state for a pending asynchronous lock request, so this patch adds that state to struct nlm_block. This also adds a function which defers the request, by calling rqstp->rq_chandle.defer and storing the resulting deferred request in a nlm_block structure which we insert into lockd's global block list. That new function isn't called yet, so it's dead code until a later patch. Signed-off-by: Marc Eshel <eshel@almaden.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

Acquiring a lock on a cluster filesystem may require communication with remote hosts, and to avoid blocking lockd or nfsd threads during such communication, we allow the results to be returned asynchronously. When a ->lock() call needs to block, the file system will return -EINPROGRESS, and then later return the results with a call to the routine in the fl_grant field of the lock_manager_operations struct. This differs from the case when ->lock returns -EAGAIN to a blocking lock request; in that case, the filesystem calls fl_notify when the lock is granted, and the caller retries the original lock. So while fl_notify is merely a hint to the caller that it should retry, fl_grant actually communicates the final result of the lock operation (with the lock already acquired in the succesful case). Therefore fl_grant takes a lock, a status and, for the test lock case, a conflicting lock. We also allow fl_grant to return an error to the filesystem, to handle the case where the fl_grant requests arrives after the lock manager has already given up waiting for it.

Convert NFSv4 to the new lock interface. We don't define any callback for now, so we're not taking advantage of the asynchronous feature--that's less critical for the multi-threaded nfsd then it is for the single-threaded lockd. But this does allow a cluster filesystems to export cluster-coherent locking to NFS. Note that it's cluster filesystems that are the issue--of the filesystems that define lock methods (nfs, cifs, etc.), most are not exportable by nfsd.

Lock managers need to be able to cancel pending lock requests. In the case where the exported filesystem manages its own locks, it's not sufficient just to call posix_unblock_lock(); we need to let the filesystem know what's happening too. We do this by adding a new fcntl lock command: FL_CANCELLK. Some day this might also be made available to userspace applications that could benefit from an asynchronous locking api.

The nfsv4 protocol's lock operation, in the case of a conflict, returns information about the conflicting lock. It's unclear how clients can use this, so for now we're not going so far as to add a filesystem method that can return a conflicting lock, but we may as well return something in the local case when it's easy to.

Factor out the code that switches between generic and filesystem-specific lock methods; eventually we want to call this from lock managers (lockd and nfsd) too; currently they only call the generic methods. This patch does that for test_lock. Note that this hasn't been necessary until recently, because the few filesystems that define ->lock() (nfs, cifs...) aren't exportable via NFS. However GFS (and, in the future, other cluster filesystems) need to implement their own locking to get cluster-coherent locking, and also want to be able to export locking to NFS (lockd and NFSv4). So we accomplish this by factoring out code such as this and exporting it for the use of lockd and nfsd. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

The file_lock argument to ->lock is used to return the conflicting lock when found. There's no reason for the filesystem to return any private information with this conflicting lock, but nfsv4 is.

If the writebacks are cancelled via nfs_cancel_dirty_list, or due to the memory allocation failing in nfs_flush_one/nfs_flush_multi, then we must ensure that the PG_writeback flag is cleared. Also ensure that we actually own the PG_writeback flag whenever we schedule a new writeback by making nfs_set_page_writeback() return the value of test_set_page_writeback(). The PG_writeback page flag ends up replacing the functionality of the PG_FLUSHING nfs_page flag, so we rip that out too.

3w-xxxx emulates a REQUEST_SENSE response by simply returning nothing. Unfortunately, it's assuming that the REQUEST_SENSE command is implemented with use_sg == 0, which is no longer the case. The oops occurs because it's clearing the scatterlist in request_buffer instead of the memory region. This is fixed by using tw_transfer_internal() to transfer correctly to the scatterlist.

DVB USB remotes do not support changing keycode maps but set input_dev->keycodesize and input_dev->keycodemax without setting input_dev->keycode. This causes kernel oops when user tries to look up (or change) current keymap. While the proper fix would be to make remotes handle keymap changes we'll just remove keycodemax and keycodesize initialization so EVIOCGKEYCODE and EVIOCSKEYCODE will simply return -EINVAL. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8312 Signed-off-by: olaf.kirch@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

There are two device string comparison loops in arp_packet_match(). The first one goes byte-by-byte but the second one tries to be clever and cast the string to a long and compare by longs. The device name strings in the arp table entries are not guarenteed to be aligned enough to make this value, so just use byte-by-byte for both cases. Based upon a report by <drraid@gmail.com>.

When a VLAN interface is created on top of a bridge interface and netfilter is enabled to see the bridged packets, the packets can be corrupted when passing through the netfilter code. This is caused by the VLAN driver not setting the 'protocol' and 'nh' members of the sk_buff structure. In general, this is no problem as the VLAN interface is mostly connected to a physical ethernet interface which does not use the 'protocol' and 'nh' members. For a bridge interface, however, these members do matter. Signed-off-by: Jerome Borsboom <j.borsboom@erasmusmc.nl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Commit f50b6f86 introduced a race in autofs4 between autofs_lookup_unhashed() and autofs_dentry_release(). autofs_dentry_release() ends up clearing the ->dentry and ->inode members of autofs_info before removing it from the rehash list. The list is protected by the rehash lock in both functions, but since autofs_dentry_release() starts tearing the autofs_info struct down before removing it from the list, autofs_lookup_unhashed() can get a autofs_info with a NULL dentry. This patch moves the clearing of ->dentry and ->inode after the removal from the rehash list.
