I'm not sure what the check for clientid expiry was meant to do here. The check for a matching session is redundant given the previous check for state: a client without state is, in particular, a client without sessions. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>

NFS4_OO_PURGE_CLOSE is not handled properly. To avoid memory leak, nfs4 stateid which is pointed by oo_last_closed_stid is freed in nfsd4_close(), but NFS4_OO_PURGE_CLOSE isn't cleared meanwhile. So the stateid released in THIS close procedure may be freed immediately in the coming encoding function. Sorry that Signed-off-by was forgotten in last version.

Once we drop the lock here there's nothing keeping the client around: the only lock still held is the xpt_lock on this socket, but this socket no longer has any connection with the client so there's no way for other code to know we're still using the client. The solution is simple: all nfsd4_probe_callback does is set a few variables and queue some work, so there's no reason we can't just keep it under the lock. Signed-off-by: J.

Dropping the session's reference count after the client's means we leave a window where the session's se_client pointer is NULL.

If a client sets an owner (or group_owner or acl) attribute on open for create, and the mapping of that owner to an id fails, then we return BAD_OWNER. But BAD_OWNER is a seqid-mutating error, so we can't shortcut the open processing that case: we have to at least look up the owner so we can find the seqid to bump. Signed-off-by: J.

We've now increased the size of the duplicate reply cache by quite a bit, but the number of hash buckets has not changed. So, we've gone from an average hash chain length of 16 in the old code to 4096 when the cache is its largest. Change the code to scale out the number of buckets with the max size of the cache. At the same time, we also need to fix the hash function since the existing one isn't really suitable when there are more than 256 buckets. Move instead to use the stock hash_32 function for this. Testing on a machine that had 2048 buckets showed that this gave a smaller longest:average ratio than the existing hash function: The formula here is longest hash bucket searched divided by average number of entries per bucket at the time that we saw that longest bucket: old hash: 68/(39258/2048) == 3.547404 hash_32: 45/(33773/2048) == 2.728807 Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J.

The typical case with the DRC is a cache miss, so if we keep track of the max number of entries that we've ever walked over in a search, then we should have a reasonable estimate of the longest hash chain that we've ever seen. With that, we'll also keep track of the total size of the cache when we see the longest chain. In the case of a tie, we prefer to track the smallest total cache size in order to properly gauge the worst-case ratio of max vs. avg chain length.

The most common case is to do a search of the cache, followed by an insert. In the case where we have to allocate an entry off the slab, then we end up having to redo the search, which is wasteful. Better optimize the code for the common case by eliminating the initial search of the cache and always preallocating an entry. In the case of a cache hit, we'll end up just freeing that entry but that's preferable to an extra search. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J.

If we end up doing "goto out_nomem" in this function, we'll call nfsd_reply_cache_shutdown. That will attempt to walk the LRU list and free entries, but that list may not be initialized yet if the server is starting up for the first time. It's also possible for the shrinker to kick in before we've initialized the LRU list. Rearrange the initialization so that the LRU list_head and cache size are initialized before doing any of the allocations that might fail.

Commit 1d9d8639 ("perf,x86: fix kernel crash with PEBS/BTS after suspend/resume") fixed a crash when doing PEBS performance profiling after resuming, but in using init_debug_store_on_cpu() to restore the DS_AREA mtrr it also resulted in a new WARN_ON() triggering. init_debug_store_on_cpu() uses "wrmsr_on_cpu()", which in turn uses CPU cross-calls to do the MSR update. Which is not really valid at the early resume stage, and the warning is quite reasonable. Now, it all happens to _work_, for the simple reason that smp_call_function_single() ends up just doing the call directly on the CPU when the CPU number matches, but we really should just do the wrmsr() directly instead. This duplicates the wrmsr() logic, but hopefully we can just remove the wrmsr_on_cpu() version eventually.

Users report that an extent map's list is still linked when it's actually going to be freed from cache. The story is that a) when we're going to drop an extent map and may split this large one into smaller ems, and if this large one is flagged as EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING which means that it's on the list to be logged, then the smaller ems split from it will also be flagged as EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING, and this is _not_ expected. b) we'll keep ems from unlinking the list and freeing when they are flagged with EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING, because the log code holds one reference. The end result is the warning, but the truth is that we set the flag EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING only during fsync. So clear flag EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING for extent maps split from a large one.

This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS) after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS measurement to crash when running on CPU0. The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0, the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.

"chn" here is a number between 0 and 255, but ->chn_info[] only has 16 elements so there is a potential write beyond the end of the array. If the seq_mode isn't SEQ_2 then we let the individual drivers (either opl3.c or midi_synth.c) handle it. Those functions all do a bounds check on "chn" so I haven't changed anything here.

The vm_flags introduced in 6d7825b1 ("mm/fremap.c: fix oops on error path") is supposed to avoid a compiler warning about unitialized vm_flags without changing the generated code. However I am concerned that this is going to be very brittle, and fail with some compiler versions. The failure could be either of: - compiler could actually load vma->vm_flags before checking for the !vma condition, thus reintroducing the oops - compiler could optimize out the !vma check, since the pointer just got dereferenced shortly before (so the compiler knows it can't be NULL!) I propose reversing this part of the change and initializing vm_flags to 0 just to avoid the bogus uninitialized use warning.
