Jun'ichi Nomura ae9da83f6d dm: fix thaw_bdev
This patch fixes a bd_mount_sem counter corruption bug in device-mapper.

thaw_bdev() should be called only when freeze_bdev() was called for the
device.
Otherwise, thaw_bdev() will up bd_mount_sem and corrupt the semaphore counter.
struct block_device with the corrupted semaphore may remain in slab cache
and be reused later.

Attached patch will fix it by calling unlock_fs() instead.
unlock_fs() will determine whether it should call thaw_bdev()
by checking the device is frozen or not.

Easy reproducer is:
  #!/bin/sh
  while [ 1 ]; do
     dmsetup --notable create a
     dmsetup --nolockfs suspend a
     dmsetup remove a
  done

It's not easy to see the effect of corrupted semaphore.
So I have tested with putting printk below in bdev_alloc_inode():
        if (atomic_read(&ei->bdev.bd_mount_sem.count) != 1)
                printk(KERN_DEBUG "Incorrect semaphore count = %d (%p)\n",
                        atomic_read(&ei->bdev.bd_mount_sem.count),
                        &ei->bdev);

Without the patch, I saw something like:
 Incorrect semaphore count = 17 (f2ab91c0)

With the patch, the message didn't appear.

The bug was introduced in 2.6.16 with this bug fix:

commit d9dde59ba0
Date:   Fri Feb 24 13:04:24 2006 -0800

    [PATCH] dm: missing bdput/thaw_bdev at removal

    Need to unfreeze and release bdev otherwise the bdev inode with
    inconsistent state is reused later and cause problem.

and backported to 2.6.15.5.

It occurs only in free_dev(), which is called only when the dm device is
removed.  The buggy code is executed only if md->suspended_bdev is
non-NULL and that can happen only when the device was suspended without
noflush.

Milan Broz 027d50f92e dm io:ctl use constant struct size
Make size of dm_ioctl struct always 312 bytes on all supported
architectures.

This change retains compatibility with already-compiled code because
it uses an embedded offset to locate the payload that follows the
structure.

On 64-bit architectures there is no change at all; on 32-bit
we are increasing the size of dm-ioctl from 308 to 312 bytes.

Currently with 32-bit userspace / 64-bit kernel on x86_64
some ioctls (including rename, message) are incorrectly rejected
by the comparison against 'param + 1'.  This breaks userspace
lvrename and multipath 'fail_if_no_path' changes, for example.

(BTW Device-mapper uses its own versioning and ignores the ioctl
size bits.  Only the generic ioctl compat code on mixed arches
checks them, and that will continue to accept both sizes for now,
but we intend to list 308 as deprecated and eventually remove it.)

Trond Myklebust 565277f63c NFS: Fix a race in sillyrename
lookup() and sillyrename() can race one another because the sillyrename()
completion cannot take the parent directory's inode->i_mutex since the
latter may be held by whoever is calling dput().

We therefore have little option but to add extra locking to ensure that
nfs_lookup() and nfs_atomic_open() do not race with the sillyrename
completion.
If somebody has looked up the sillyrenamed file in the meantime, we just
transfer the sillydelete information to the new dentry.

Trond Myklebust 61e930a904 NFS: Fix a writeback race...
This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by commit
44dd151d5c

We cannot zero the user page in nfs_mark_uptodate() any more, since

  a) We'd be modifying the page without holding the page lock
  b) We can race with other updates of the page, most notably
     because of the call to nfs_wb_page() in nfs_writepage_setup().

Instead, we do the zeroing in nfs_update_request() if we see that we're
creating a request that might potentially be marked as up to date.

Thanks to Olivier Paquet for reporting the bug and providing a test-case.

Creating the MODVERDIR explicit (independent of KBUILD_MODULES)
fixed this. As a side-effect the MODVERDIR will be created
also for a non-module build - but no harm done by that.

20-something times.  Yes, you (we) don't want to put those 7 lines into
20-something different files, so sourcing is the right thing.

However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make
_one_ Instrumentation support menu that includes PROFILING, OPROFILE, KPROBES,
and MARKERS and then use (source) that in all of the arches."

Mathieu Desnoyers 1c3f0b8e07 Change struct marker users
Prior to use struct marker in the linux kernel markers, we need to clean
two drivers which use this structure name.

Change bonding driver types :
- struct marker to struct bond_marker.
- marker_t to bond_marker_t.
- marker_header to bond_marker_header.
- marker_header_t to bond_marker_header_t.

Change qla4xxx struct marker_entry usage :
- Change struct marker_entry for struct qla4_marker_entry.

Bernhard Walle cb3808532e Use extended crashkernel command line on ia64
This patch adapts IA64 to use the generic parse_crashkernel() function instead
of its own parsing for the crashkernel command line.

Because the total amount of System RAM must be known when calling this
function, efi_memmap_init() is modified to return its accumulated total_memory
variable.

Also, the crashkernel handling is moved in an own function in
arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c to make the code more readable.

Bernhard Walle cba63c3089 Extended crashkernel command line
This patch adds a extended crashkernel syntax that makes the value of reserved
system RAM dependent on the system RAM itself:

    crashkernel=<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,...][@offset]
    range=start-[end]

For example:

    crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M

The motivation comes from distributors that configure their crashkernel
command line automatically with some configuration tool (YaST, you know ;)).
Of course that tool knows the value of System RAM, but if the user removes
RAM, then the system becomes unbootable or at least unusable and error
handling is very difficult.

This series implements this change for i386, x86_64, ia64, ppc64 and sh.  That
should be all platforms that support kdump in current mainline.  I tested all
platforms except sh due to the lack of a sh processor.

This patch:

This is the generic part of the patch.  It adds a parse_crashkernel() function
in kernel/kexec.c that is called by the architecture specific code that
actually reserves the memory.  That function takes the whole command line and
looks itself for "crashkernel=" in it.

If there are multiple occurrences, then the last one is taken.  The advantage
is that if you have a bootloader like lilo or elilo which allows you to append
a command line parameter but not to remove one (like in GRUB), then you can
add another crashkernel value for testing at the boot command line and this
one overwrites the command line in the configuration then.

Pierre Peiffer 283bb7fada IPC: fix error case when idr-cache is empty in ipcget()
With the use of idr to store the ipc, the case where the idr cache is
empty, when idr_get_new is called (this may happen even if we call
idr_pre_get() before), is not well handled: it lets
semget()/shmget()/msgget() return ENOSPC when this cache is empty, what 1.
does not reflect the facts and 2.  does not conform to the man(s).

This patch fixes this by retrying the whole process of allocation in this case.

Pierre Peiffer c530c6ac7e IPC: cleanup some code and wrong comments about semundo list managment
Some comments about sem_undo_list seem wrong.
About the comment above unlock_semundo:
"... If task2 now exits before task1 releases the lock (by calling
unlock_semundo()), then task1 will never call spin_unlock(). ..."

This is just wrong, I see no reason for which task1 will not call
spin_unlock... The rest of this comment is also wrong... Unless I
miss something (of course).

Finally, (un)lock_semundo functions are useless, so remove them
for simplification. (this avoids an useless if statement)

Nadia Derbey 3e148c7993 fix idr_find() locking
This is a patch that fixes the way idr_find() used to be called in ipc_lock():
in all the paths that don't imply an update of the ipcs idr, it was called
without the idr tree being locked.

The changes are:
  . in ipc_ids, the mutex has been changed into a reader/writer semaphore.
  . ipc_lock() now takes the mutex as a reader during the idr_find().
  . a new routine ipc_lock_down() has been defined: it doesn't take the
    mutex, assuming that it is being held by the caller. This is the routine
    that is now called in all the update paths.
