This bug was seen on ppc64, but it could have occurred on any
architecture with a page size of 64k or above. The problem is that in
fs/binfmt_elf.c:randomize_stack_top() randomizes the stack to within
0x7ff pages. On 4k page machines, this is 8MB; on 64k page boxes, this
is 128MB.
The problem is that the new binary layout (selected in
arch_pick_mmap_layout) places the mapping segment 128MB or the stack
rlimit away from the top of the process memory, whichever is larger. If
you chose an rlimit of less than 128MB (most defaults are in the 8Mb
range) then you can end up having your entire stack randomized away.
The fix is to make randomize_stack_top() only steal at most 8MB, which this
patch does. However, I have to point out that even with this, your stack
rlimit might not be exactly what you get if it's > 128MB, because you're
still losing the random offset of up to 8MB.
The true fix should be to leave an explicit gap for the randomization plus
a buffer when determining mmap_base, but that would involve fixing all the
architectures.

Looks like we need a check in nfs_getattr() for a regular file. It makes

The current NFS client congestion logic is severly broken, it marks the
backing device congested during each nfs_writepages() call but doesn't
mirror this in nfs_writepage() which makes for deadlocks. Also it
implements its own waitqueue.
Replace this by a more regular congestion implementation that puts a cap on
the number of active writeback pages and uses the bdi congestion waitqueue.
Also always use an interruptible wait since it makes sense to be able to
SIGKILL the process even for mounts without 'intr'.

The only error code which comes from the partition checkers is -1, when

as they might scare the users.
So, with the current code, we end up returning -1 and not EIO for the

smbfs allocates rq_trans2buffer to handle server's multi transaction2 response
messages. As struct smb_request may be reused, rq_trans2buffer is freed
before each new request. However if last servers's response is not multi but
single trans2 message then new rq_trans2buffer is not allocated but last
smb_rput still tries to free it again.
To prevent this issue rq_trans2buffer pointer should be set to NULL after

Because of if file big enough(BIG_OFFSET) we start allocate space by block,
ordinary block size > page size, so we should zeroize the rest of block in
truncate(except last framgnet, about which VFS should care), to not get
garbage, when we extend file.

This patch (as869) reinstates the mutual exclusion between sysfs
attribute method calls and attribute unregistration. The
previously-reported deadlocks have been fixed, and this exclusion is
by far the simplest way to avoid races during driver unbinding.
The check for orphaned read-buffers has been moved down slightly, so
that the remainder of a partially-read buffer will still be available
to userspace even after the attribute has been unregistered.

to set up a callback to perform some action in a different process's

unregister themselves or their parent device. Attribute method calls
are mutually exclusive with unregistration, so such actions cannot be
taken directly.
Two attribute methods are converted to use the new helper routine: one
for SCSI device deletion and one for System/390 ccwgroup devices.

An architecture needs epoll_event translation if alignof(u64) in 32 bit
mode is different from alignof(u64) in 64 bit mode. If an architecture
needs epoll_event translation, it must define struct compat_epoll_event in

compat_sys_epoll_ctl and compat_sys_epoll_wait.

The garbage collection thread is strictly an optimisation. Everything it
does would also be done just-in-time in the context of something in
userspace trying to access the file system.
Sometimes, however, it's a pessimisation. Especially during early boot
when it's checksumming nodes and scanning inodes which are shortly going
to be pulled in by read_inode anyway. We end up building the rbtree of
node coverage twice for the same inode.
By switching to yield() instead of cond_resched() in the main loop, we
observe boot times on the OLPC system going down from about 100 seconds to
60.

This fixes a problem I encountered while running bonnie++. When you have one
thread that opens a file and starts to write to it, and then another thread that
tries to open and write to the same file, the second thread will loop forever
trying to grab the inode lock for that inode. Basically we come in through
generic_buffered_file_write, which calls gfs2_prepare_write, which then attempts
to grab the glock. Because we don't own the lock, gfs2_prepare_write gets
GLR_TRYFAILED, which returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE to generic_buffered_file_write.
At this point generic_buffered_file_write loops around again and immediately
retries the prepare_write. This means that the second process never gets off of
the processor in order to allow the process that holds the lock to finish its
work and let go of the lock. This patch makes gfs2_glock_nq schedule() if it
gets back a GLR_TRYFAILED, which resolves this problem.
