If cached directory contents becomes incorrect, there is no way to
flush the contents. This contrasts with files where file locking is
the recommended way to ensure cache consistency between multiple
applications (a read-lock always flushes the cache).
Also while changes to files often change the size of the file (thus
triggering a cache flush), changes to directories often do not change
the apparent size (as the size is often rounded to a block size).
So it is particularly important with directories to avoid the
possibility of an incorrect cache wherever possible.
When the link count on a directory changes it implies a change in the
number of child directories, and so a change in the contents of this
directory. So use that as a trigger to flush cached contents.
When the ctime changes but the mtime does not, there are two possible
reasons.
1/ The owner/mode information has been changed.
2/ utimes has been used to set the mtime backwards.
In the first case, a data-cache flush is not required.
In the second case it is.
So on the basis that correctness trumps performance, flush the
directory contents cache in this case also.

To clear out old state, the UDP connect workers unconditionally invoke
xs_close() before proceeding with a new connect. Nowadays this causes
a spurious wake-up of the task waiting for the connect to complete.
This is a little racey, but usually harmless. The waiting task
immediately retries the connect via a call_bind/call_connect sequence,
which usually finds the transport already in the connected state
because the connect worker has finished in the background.
To avoid a spurious wake-up, factor the xs_close() logic that resets
the underlying socket into a helper, and have the UDP connect workers
call that helper instead of xs_close().

We can Oops in both xs_udp_send_request() and xs_tcp_send_request() if the

sockaddr structures can't be reliably compared using memcmp() because
there are padding bytes in the structure which can't be guaranteed to
be the same even when the sockaddr structures refer to the same
socket. Instead compare all the relevant fields. In the case of IPv6
sin6_flowinfo is not compared because it only affects QoS and
sin6_scope_id is only compared if the address is "link local" because
"link local" addresses need only be unique to a specific link.

Hi Trond,
I have been looking at a bugreport where trying to open applications on KDE
on a NFS mounted home fails temporarily. There have been multiple reports on
different kernel versions pointing to this common issue:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12557https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/269954http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508866.html
This issue can be reproducible consistently by doing this on a NFS mounted
home (KDE):
1. Open 2 xterm sessions
2. From one of the xterm session, do "ssh -X <remote host>"
3. "stat ~/.Xauthority" on the remote SSH session
4. Close the two xterm sessions
5. On the server do a "stat ~/.Xauthority"
6. Now on the client, try to open xterm
This will fail.
Even if the filehandle had become stale, the NFS client should invalidate
the cache/inode and should repeat LOOKUP. Looking at the packet capture when
the failure occurs shows that there were two subsequent ACCESS() calls with
the same filehandle and both fails with -ESTALE error.
I have tested the fix below. Now the client issue a LOOKUP after the
ACCESS() call fails with -ESTALE. If all this makes sense to you, can you
consider this for inclusion?
Thanks,
If the server returns an -ESTALE error due to stale filehandle in response to
an ACCESS() call, we need to invalidate the cache and inode so that LOOKUP()
can be retried. Without this change, the nfs client retries ACCESS() with the
same filehandle, fails again and could lead to temporary failure of
applications running on nfs mounted home.

The NFS mount command may pass an AF_INET server address to lockd. If
lockd happens to be using a PF_INET6 listener, the nlm_cmp_addr() in
nlmclnt_grant() will fail to match requests from that host because they
will all have a mapped IPv4 AF_INET6 address.
Adopt the same solution used in nfs_sockaddr_match_ipaddr() for NFSv4

before doing the comparison.

We should probably not be testing any flags after we've cleared the
RPC_TASK_RUNNING flag, since rpc_make_runnable() is then free to assign the
rpc_task to another workqueue, which may then destroy it.
We can fix any races with rpc_make_runnable() by ensuring that we only
clear the RPC_TASK_RUNNING flag while holding the rpc_wait_queue->lock that
the task is supposed to be sleeping on (and then checking whether or not
the task really is sleeping).

Prevent the kernel from being crashed by a divide-by-zero operation when
supplied an incorrectly filled 'struct fb_var_screeninfo' from userland.
Previously i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params) was using the global
'yres' symbol previously defined at i810_main.c:145 as a module parameter
value holder (i810_main.c:2174). If i810fb is compiled-in or if this
param doesn't get a default value, this direct usage leads to a
divide-by-zero at i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params). The patch simply
replace the 'yres' global, perhaps undefined symbol usage by a given
parameter structure lookup.
This problem occurs with directfb, mplayer -vo fbdev, SDL library.
It was also reported ( but non solved ) at:

Fix a problem in the IDR system, where an idr_remove_all() hands a data
element to call_rcu() (via free_layer()) before making that data element
inaccessible to new readers. This is very bad, and results in readers
still having a reference to this data element at the end of the grace

Tests on large machines that concurrently map and unmap user-space memory
within the same multithreaded process result in crashes within about five
minutes. Applying this patch increases the kernel's longevity to the
three-to-eight-hour range.
There appear to be other similar problems in idr_get_empty_slot() and

therefore no surprise that failures still occur.

get_nid_for_pfn() returns int
Presumably the (nid < 0) case has never happened.
We do know that it is happening on one system while creating a symlink for
a memory section so it should also happen on the same system if
unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes() were called to remove the same symlink.
The test was actually added in response to a problem with an earlier
version reported by Yasunori Goto where one or more of the leading pages
of a memory section on the 2nd node of one of his systems was
uninitialized because I believe they coincided with a memory hole.
That earlier version did not ignore uninitialized pages and determined
the nid by considering only the 1st page of each memory section. This
caused the symlink to the 1st memory section on the 2nd node to be
incorrectly created in /sys/devices/system/node/node0 instead of
/sys/devices/system/node/node1. The problem was fixed by adding the
test to skip over uninitialized pages.
I suspect we have not seen any reports of the non-removal
of a symlink due to the incorrect declaration of the nid
variable in unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes() because
- systems where a memory section could have an uninitialized
range of leading pages are probably rare.
- memory remove is probably not done very frequently on the
systems that are capable of demonstrating the problem.
- lingering symlink(s) that should have been removed may
have simply gone unnoticed.

If it isn't, we need to fix that.
- mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated
- try again with the removal in six months.
It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because

Reason for this is that cpu time accounting usually only happens from
interrupt context, but acct_update_integrals gets also called from
process context with interrupts enabled.
So in acct_update_integrals we may end up with the following scenario:
Between reading tsk->stime/tsk->utime and tsk->acct_timexpd an interrupt
happens which updates accouting values. This causes acct_timexpd to be
greater than the former stime + utime. The subsequent calculation of
dtime = cputime_sub(time, tsk->acct_timexpd);
will be negative and the division performed by
cputime_to_jiffies(dtime)
will generate an exception since the result won't fit into a 32 bit
register.
In order to fix this just always disable interrupts while accessing any
of the accounting values.

the list manipulation failed to remove pages from the release list.
After a second grace period the pages get into rcu_free_kmmio_fault_pages()
and raise a BUG_ON() kernel crash.
The list manipulation is fixed to properly remove pages from the release
list.
This bug has been present from the very beginning of mmiotrace in the
mainline kernel. It was introduced in 0fd0e3da ("x86: mmiotrace full
patch, preview 1");
An urgent fix for Linus. Tested by Stuart (on 32-bit) and Pekka
(on amd and intel 64-bit systems, nouveau and nvidia proprietary).
