Everything arriving into if (!dentry) will have need_reval = 1. Indeed, the only way to get there with need_reval reset to 0 would be via if (unlikely(d_need_lookup(dentry))) goto unlazy; if (unlikely(dentry->d_flags & DCACHE_OP_REVALIDATE)) { status = d_revalidate(dentry, nd); if (unlikely(status <= 0)) { if (status != -ECHILD) need_reval = 0; goto unlazy; ... unlazy: /* no assignments to dentry */ if (dentry && unlikely(d_need_lookup(dentry))) { dput(dentry); dentry = NULL; } and if d_need_lookup() had already been false the first time around, it will remain false on the second call as well.

d_lookup() *will* fail after successful d_invalidate(), if we are holding i_mutex all along. IOW, we don't need to jump back to l: - we know what path will be taken there and can do that (i.e. d_alloc_and_lookup()) directly. Signed-off-by:

Duplicate the revalidation-related parts into if (!dentry) branch. Next step will be to pull them under i_mutex. This and the next 8 commits are more or less a splitup of patch by Miklos; folks, when you are working with something that convoluted, carve your patches up into easily reviewed steps, especially when a lot of codepaths involved are rarely hit...

The only caller of __lookup_hash() that needs the exec permission check on parent is lookup_one_len(). All lookup_hash() callers already checked permission in LOOKUP_PARENT walk. Signed-off-by:

__lookup_hash() calls ->lookup() if the dentry needs lookup and on success revalidates the dentry (all under dir->i_mutex). While this is harmless it doesn't make a lot of sense. Signed-off-by:

Doing revalidate on a dentry which has not yet been looked up makes no sense. Move the d_need_lookup() check before d_revalidate(). Signed-off-by:

Since the on-disk format has been stable for quite some time, users should either use the headers provided by libext2fs or keep a private copy of this header.

Pull x86 cleanups from Peter Anvin: "The biggest textual change is the cleanup to use symbolic constants for x86 trap values. The only *functional* change and the reason for the x86/x32 dependency is the move of is_ia32_task() into <asm/thread_info.h> so that it can be used in other code that needs to understand if a system call comes from the compat entry point (and therefore uses i386 system call numbers) or not. One intended user for that is the BPF system call filter. Moving it out of <asm/compat.h> means we can define it unconditionally, returning always true on i386." * 'x86-cleanups-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86: Move is_ia32_task to asm/thread_info.h from asm/compat.h x86: Rename trap_no to trap_nr in thread_struct x86: Use enum instead of literals for trap values

This reverts commit b43d17f3. Dave Jones reports that it causes lockups on his laptop, and his debug output showed a lot of processes hung waiting for page_writeback (or more commonly - processes hung waiting for a lock that was held during that writeback wait). The page_writeback hint made Ted suggest that Dave look at this commit, and Dave verified that reverting it makes his problems go away. Ted says: "That commit fixes a race which is seen when you write into fallocated (and hence uninitialized) disk blocks under *very* heavy memory pressure. Furthermore, although theoretically it could trigger under normal direct I/O writes, it only seems to trigger if you are issuing a huge number of AIO writes, such that a just-written page can get evicted from memory, and then read back into memory, before the workqueue has a chance to update the extent tree. This race has been around for a little over a year, and no one noticed until two months ago; it only happens under fairly exotic conditions, and in fact even after trying very hard to create a simple repro under lab conditions, we could only reproduce the problem and confirm the fix on production servers running MySQL on very fast PCIe-attached flash devices. Given that Dave was able to hit this problem pretty quickly, if we confirm that this commit is at fault, the only reasonable thing to do is to revert it IMO." Reported-and-tested-by:

Pull nfsd changes from Bruce Fields: Highlights: - Benny Halevy and Tigran Mkrtchyan implemented some more 4.1 features, moving us closer to a complete 4.1 implementation. - Bernd Schubert fixed a long-standing problem with readdir cookies on ext2/3/4. - Jeff Layton performed a long-overdue overhaul of the server reboot recovery code which will allow us to deprecate the current code (a rather unusual user of the vfs), and give us some needed flexibility for further improvements. - Like the client, we now support numeric uid's and gid's in the auth_sys case, allowing easier upgrades from NFSv2/v3 to v4.x. Plus miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanup. Thanks to everyone! There are also some delegation fixes waiting on vfs review that I suppose will have to wait for 3.5. With that done I think we'll finally turn off the "EXPERIMENTAL" dependency for v4 (though that's mostly symbolic as it's been on by default in distro's for a while). And the list of 4.1 todo's should be achievable for 3.5 as well: http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues though we may still want a bit more experience with it before turning it on by default. * 'for-3.4' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux: (55 commits) nfsd: only register cld pipe notifier when CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is enabled nfsd4: use auth_unix unconditionally on backchannel nfsd: fix NULL pointer dereference in cld_pipe_downcall nfsd4: memory corruption in numeric_name_to_id() sunrpc: skip portmap calls on sessions backchannel nfsd4: allow numeric idmapping nfsd: don't allow legacy client tracker init for anything but init_net nfsd: add notifier to handle mount/unmount of rpc_pipefs sb nfsd: add the infrastructure to handle the cld upcall nfsd: add a header describing upcall to nfsdcld nfsd: add a per-net-namespace struct for nfsd sunrpc: create nfsd dir in rpc_pipefs nfsd: add nfsd4_client_tracking_ops struct and a way to set it nfsd: convert nfs4_client->cl_cb_flags to a generic flags field NFSD: Fix nfs4_verifier memory alignment NFSD: Fix warnings when NFSD_DEBUG is not defined nfsd: vfs_llseek() with 32 or 64 bit offsets (hashes) nfsd: rename 'int access' to 'int may_flags' in nfsd_open() ext4: return 32/64-bit dir name hash according to usage type fs: add new FMODE flags: FMODE_32bithash and FMODE_64bithash ...
