When someone writes to an inode, readers accessing the same inode via ocfs2_readpage() just busyloop trying to get ip_alloc_sem because do_generic_file_read() looks up the page again and retries ->readpage() when previous attempt failed with AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE. When there are enough readers, they can occupy all CPUs and in non-preempt kernel the system is deadlocked because writer holding ip_alloc_sem is never run to release the semaphore. Fix the problem by making reader block on ip_alloc_sem to break the busy loop. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <jlbec@evilplan.org>

Fix a corruption that can happen when we have (two or more) outstanding aio's to an overlapping unaligned region. Ext4 (e9e3bcec) and xfs recently had to fix similar issues. In our case what happens is that we can have an outstanding aio on a region and if a write comes in with some bytes overlapping the original aio we may decide to read that region into a page before continuing (typically because of buffered-io fallback). Since we have no ordering guarantees with the aio, we can read stale or bad data into the page and then write it back out. If the i/o is page and block aligned, then we avoid this issue as there won't be any need to read data from disk. I took the same approach as Eric in the ext4 patch and introduced some serialization of unaligned async direct i/o. I don't expect this to have an effect on the most common cases of AIO. Unaligned aio will be slower though, but that's far more acceptable than data corruption. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <jlbec@evilplan.org>

Commit cc3ce517 (rcu: Start RCU kthreads in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state) fudges a sleeping task' state, resulting in the scheduler seeing a TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE task going to sleep, but a TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE task waking up. The result is unbalanced load calculation. The problem that patch tried to address is that the RCU threads could stay in UNINTERRUPTIBLE state for quite a while and triggering the hung task detector due to on-demand wake-ups. Cure the problem differently by always giving the tasks at least one wake-up once the CPU is fully up and running, this will kick them out of the initial UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and into the regular INTERRUPTIBLE wait state. [ The alternative would be teaching kthread_create() to start threads as INTERRUPTIBLE but that needs a tad more thought. ] Reported-by: Damien Wyart <damien.wyart@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul E.

Add an API that tells the other side that callbacks should be delayed until a lot of work has been done. Implement using the new event_idx feature. Note: it might seem advantageous to let the drivers ask for a callback after a specific capacity has been reached. However, as a single head can free many entries in the descriptor table, we don't really have a clue about capacity until get_buf is called. The API is the simplest to implement at the moment, we'll see what kind of hints drivers can pass when there's more than one user of the feature. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

Support for the new event idx feature: 1. When enabling interrupts, publish the current avail index value to the host to get interrupts on the next update. 2. Use the new avail_event feature to reduce the number of exits from the guest.

With the new used_event and avail_event and features, both host and guest need similar logic to check whether events are enabled, so it helps to put the common code in the header. Note that Xen has similar logic for notification hold-off in include/xen/interface/io/ring.h with req_event and req_prod corresponding to event_idx + 1 and new_idx respectively. +1 comes from the fact that req_event and req_prod in Xen start at 1, while event index in virtio starts at 0.

The virtio balloon driver has a VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST feature bit. Whenever the bit is set, the guest kernel must always tell the host before we free pages back to the allocator. Without this feature, we might free a page (and have another user touch it) while the hypervisor is unprepared for it. But, if the bit is _not_ set, we are under no obligation to reverse the order; we're under no obligation to do _anything_. As of now, qemu-kvm defines the bit, but doesn't set it. This patch makes the "tell host first" logic the only case. This should make everybody happy, and reduce the amount of untested or untestable code in the kernel. This _also_ means that we don't have to preserve a pfn list after the pages are freed, which should let us get rid of some temporary storage (vb->pfns) eventually.

Wire up the virtio_driver config_changed method to get notified about config changes raised by the host. For now we just re-read the device size to support online resizing of devices, but once we add more attributes that might be changeable they could be added as well. Note that the config_changed method is called from irq context, so we'll have to use the workqueue infrastructure to provide us a proper user context for our changes.

ecryptfs_lookup_interpose() has turned into spaghetti code over the years. This is an effort to clean it up. - Shorten overly descriptive variable names such as ecryptfs_dentry - Simplify gotos and error paths - Create helper function for reading plaintext i_size from metadata It also includes an optimization when reading i_size from the metadata. A complete page-sized kmem_cache_alloc() was being done to read in 16 bytes of metadata. The buffer for that is now statically declared. Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
