In write_cache_pages, if we get stuck behind another process that is
cleaning pages, we will be forced to wait for them to finish, then perform
our own writeout (if it was redirtied during the long wait), then wait for
that.
If a page under writeout is still clean, we can skip waiting for it (if
we're part of a data integrity sync, we'll be waiting for all writeout
pages afterwards, so we'll still be waiting for the other guy's write
that's cleaned the page).

In write_cache_pages, nr_to_write is heeded even for data-integrity syncs,
so the function will return success after writing out nr_to_write pages,
even if that was not sufficient to guarantee data integrity.
The callers tend to set it to values that could break data interity
semantics easily in practice. For example, nr_to_write can be set to
mapping->nr_pages * 2, however if a file has a single, dirty page, then
fsync is called, subsequent pages might be concurrently added and dirtied,
then write_cache_pages might writeout two of these newly dirty pages,
while not writing out the old page that should have been written out.
Fix this by ignoring nr_to_write if it is a data integrity sync.
This is a data integrity bug.
The reason this has been done in the past is to avoid stalling sync
operations behind page dirtiers.
"If a file has one dirty page at offset 1000000000000000 then someone
does an fsync() and someone else gets in first and starts madly writing
pages at offset 0, we want to write that page at 1000000000000000.
Somehow."
What we do today is return success after an arbitrary amount of pages are
written, whether or not we have provided the data-integrity semantics that
the caller has asked for. Even this doesn't actually fix all stall cases
completely: in the above situation, if the file has a huge number of pages
in pagecache (but not dirty), then mapping->nrpages is going to be huge,
even if pages are being dirtied.
This change does indeed make the possibility of long stalls lager, and
that's not a good thing, but lying about data integrity is even worse. We
have to either perform the sync, or return -ELINUXISLAME so at least the
caller knows what has happened.
There are subsequent competing approaches in the works to solve the stall
problems properly, without compromising data integrity.

In write_cache_pages, if ret signals a real error, but we still have some
pages left in the pagevec, done would be set to 1, but the remaining pages
would continue to be processed and ret will be overwritten in the process.
It could easily be overwritten with success, and thus success will be
returned even if there is an error. Thus the caller is told all writes
succeeded, wheras in reality some did not.
Fix this by bailing immediately if there is an error, and retaining the
first error code.
This is a data integrity bug.

We'd like to break out of the loop early in many situations, however the
existing code has been setting mapping->writeback_index past the final
page in the pagevec lookup for cyclic writeback. This is a problem if we
don't process all pages up to the final page.
Currently the code mostly keeps writeback_index reasonable and hacked
around this by not breaking out of the loop or writing pages outside the
range in these cases. Keep track of a real "done index" that enables us
to terminate the loop in a much more flexible manner.
Needed by the subsequent patch to preserve writepage errors, and then
further patches to break out of the loop early for other reasons. However
there are no functional changes with this patch alone.

In write_cache_pages, scanned == 1 is supposed to mean that cyclic
writeback has circled through zero, thus we should not circle again.
However it gets set to 1 after the first successful pagevec lookup. This
leads to cases where not enough data gets written.
Counterexample: file with first 10 pages dirty, writeback_index == 5,
nr_to_write == 10. Then the 5 last pages will be found, and scanned will
be set to 1, after writing those out, we will not cycle back to get the
first 5.
Rework this logic, now we'll always cycle unless we started off from index
0. When cycling, only write out as far as 1 page before the start page
from the first cycle (so we don't write parts of the file twice).

This patch (as1197) fixes an error introduced recently. Since a
significant number of devices can't handle Set-Interface requests, we
no longer call usb_set_interface() when a driver unbinds from an
interface, provided the interface is already in altsetting 0. However
the interface still does get disabled, and the call to
usb_set_interface() was the only thing re-enabling it. Since the
interface doesn't get re-enabled, further attempts to use it fail.
So the patch adds a call to usb_enable_interface() when a driver
unbinds and the interface is in altsetting 0. For this to work
right, the interface's endpoints have to be re-enabled but their
toggles have to be left alone. Therefore an additional argument is
added to usb_enable_endpoint() and usb_enable_interface(), a flag
indicating whether or not the endpoint toggles should be reset.
This is a forward-ported version of a patch which fixes Bugzilla
#12301.

This patch (as1194b) makes usb-storage set the CAPACITY_HEURISTICS flag
for all devices made by Nokia, Nikon, or Motorola. These companies
seem to include the READ CAPACITY bug in all of their devices.
Since cell phones and digital cameras rely on flash storage, which
always has an even number of sectors, setting CAPACITY_HEURISTICS
shouldn't cause any problems. Not even if the companies wise up and
start making devices without the bug.
A large number of unusual_devs entries are now unnecessary, so the
patch removes them.
Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
This patch (as1189c) adds some hacks to usb-storage for dealing with
the growing problems involving bad capacity values and last-sector
accesses:
A new flag, US_FL_CAPACITY_OK, is created to indicate that
the device is known to report its capacity correctly. An
unusual_devs entry for Linux's own File-backed Storage Gadget
is added with this flag set, since g_file_storage always
reports the correct capacity and since the capacity need
not be even (it is determined by the size of the backing
file).
An entry in unusual_devs.h which has only the CAPACITY_OK
flag set shouldn't prejudice libusual, since the device will
work perfectly well with either usb-storage or ub. So a
new macro, COMPLIANT_DEV, is added to let libusual know
about these entries.
When a last-sector access fails three times in a row and
neither the FIX_CAPACITY nor the CAPACITY_OK flag is set,
we assume the last-sector bug is present. We replace the
existing status and sense data with values that will cause
the SCSI core to fail the access immediately rather than
retry indefinitely. This should fix the difficulties
people have been having with Nokia phones.
This version of the patch differs from the version accepted into the
mainline only in that it does not trigger a WARN() when an
odd-numbered last-sector access succeeds. In a stable kernel series
we don't want to go around spamming users' logs and consoles for no
good reason.

On the Asus Xonar D2 and D2X models, the SPI chip select signal for the
fourth DAC shares its pin with the serial clock for the EEPROM that
contains the PCI subdevice ID values. It appears that when DAC
registers are written and some other unknown conditions occur (probably
noise on the EEPROM's chip select line), the EEPROM gets overwritten
with garbage, which makes it impossible to properly detect the card
later.
Therefore, we better avoid DAC register writes and make sure that the
driver works with the DAC's registers' default values. Consequently,
the sample format is now I2S instead of left-justified (no user-visible
change), and the DAC's volume/mute registers cannot be used anymore
(volume changes are now done by the software volume plugin).

After XPC has been up and running on multiple partitions for any length of
time, if XPC on one of the partitions is stopped and restarted (either by
a rmmod/insmod or a system restart), it is possible for the XPCs running
on the other partitions to falsely detect a lack of heartbeat from the XPC
that was just restarted. This false detection will occur if the restarted
XPC comes up within the five-seconds preceding one of the other XPC's
heartbeat check (which occurs once every twenty seconds).
The detection of no heartbeat results in the detecting XPC deactivating
from the just restarted XPC. The only remedy is to restart one of the
XPCs and hope that one doesn't hit this five-second window on any of the
other partitions.

David points out that the idr_remove_all() function returns unused slabs

He fixed this by zeroing the object before freeing it in idr_remove_all().
But we agree that simply removing the constructor and zeroing the object
at allocation time is simpler than relying upon slab constructor machinery
and might even be faster.

John Stanley reported EOVERFLOW errors in readdir from his self-build
glibc. I traced this down to glibc enabling d_off overflow checks
in one of the about five million different getdents implementations.
In 2.6.28 Dave Woodhouse moved our readdir double buffering required
for NFS4 readdirplus into nfsd and at that point we lost the capping
of the directory offsets to 32 bit signed values. Johns glibc used
getdents64 to even implement readdir for normal 32 bit offset dirents,
and failed with EOVERFLOW only if this happens on the first dirent in
a getdents call. I managed to come up with a testcase that uses
raw getdents and does the EOVERFLOW check manually. We always hit
it with our last entry due to the special end of directory marker.
The patch below is a dumb version of just putting back the masking,
to make sure we have the same behavior as in 2.6.27 and earlier.
I will work on a better and cleaner fix for 2.6.30.

This assertion is incorrect for lockless pagecache. By definition if we
have an unpinned page that we are trying to take a speculative reference
to, it may become the tail of a compound page at any time (if it is

It was still a valid assertion for the vmscan.c LRU isolation case, but
it doesn't seem incredibly helpful... if somebody wants it, they can

When running Active Memory Sharing, the Collaborative Memory Manager
(CMM) may mark some pages as "loaned" with the hypervisor.
Periodically, the CMM will query the hypervisor for a loan request,
which is a single signed value. When kexec'ing into a kdump kernel,
the CMM driver in the kdump kernel is not aware of the pages the
previous kernel had marked as "loaned", so the hypervisor and the CMM
driver are out of sync. This results in the CMM driver getting a
negative loan request, which can then get treated as a large unsigned
value and can cause kdump to hang due to the CMM driver inflating too
large. Since there really is no clean way for the CMM driver in the
kdump kernel to clean this up, simply disable CMM in the kdump kernel.
This fixes hangs we were seeing doing kdump with AMS.

An XFS workload showed up a bug in the lockless pagecache patch. Basically it
would go into an "infinite" loop, although it would sometimes be able to break
out of the loop! The reason is a missing compiler barrier in the "increment
reference count unless it was zero" case of the lockless pagecache protocol in
the gang lookup functions.
This would cause the compiler to use a cached value of struct page pointer to
retry the operation with, rather than reload it. So the page might have been
removed from pagecache and freed (refcount==0) but the lookup would not correctly
notice the page is no longer in pagecache, and keep attempting to increment the
refcount and failing, until the page gets reallocated for something else. This
isn't a data corruption because the condition will be detected if the page has
been reallocated. However it can result in a lockup.
Linus points out that ACCESS_ONCE is also required in that pointer load, even
if it's absence is not causing a bug on our particular build. The most general
way to solve this is just to put an rcu_dereference in radix_tree_deref_slot.

Here the intention is to get the pgd corresponding to the current process
and sync it up with the pgd in init_mm(obtained from pgd_offset_k).
However, for kernel threads current->mm is NULL and hence pgd =
pgd_offset(init_mm, address) = pgd_ref which means the fault handler
returns without setting the pgd entry in the MM structure in the context
of which the kernel thread has faulted. This could lead to never-ending
faults and busy looping of kernel threads like pdflush. So, shouldn't the
pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); be pgd =
pgd_offset(current->active_mm ?: &init_mm, address);
We can use active_mm unconditionally because it should be always set.
I increased the delay step by step until loading of mvsas
reliably detected the drive 200 times in sequence. A much better
approach would be to monitor the hardware for some flag which
indicates that port detection has finished, but I do not have any
hardware documentation.

The result from readlink is being used to index into the link name
buffer without checking whether it is a valid length. If readlink
returns an error this will fault or cause memory corruption.
aops->readpages() and its NFS helper readpage_async_filler() will only
be called to do readahead I/O for newly allocated pages. So it's not
necessary to test for the always 0 dirty/uptodate page flags.
The removal of nfs_wb_page() call also fixes a readahead bug: the NFS
readahead has been synchronous since 2.6.23, because that call will
clear PG_readahead, which is the reminder for asynchronous readahead.
More background: the PG_readahead page flag is shared with PG_reclaim,
one for read path and the other for write path. clear_page_dirty_for_io()
unconditionally clears PG_readahead to prevent possible readahead residuals,
assuming itself to be always called in the write path. However, NFS is one
and the only exception in that it _always_ calls clear_page_dirty_for_io()
in the read path, i.e. for readpages()/readpage().
This patch corrects the issue when one connects a Nokia 5200 cell
phone in data storage mode. If one uses an unpatched unusual_devs.h,

The MicroSD card in the phone remains inaccessible and finally the
cell phone turns itself off. The patch solves this problem and makes
the cell phone fully accessible:
I've found necessary to use the FL_US_CAPACITY_FIX switch, as without
it the cell phone is recognized but it went berserk when performing
low-level functions on it (a fdisk -l /dev/uba for example).

I have another Argosy USB storage device, which has the same problem
with the Argosy USB storage device already fixed in 2.6.27.7. But this
device has another product ID (840:84), so this patch adds a new entry
into unusual_devs to fix the mount problem.
I enclose here two patches: one against 2.6.27.8, and another against
the latest linus-git tree.
The information about the Argosy device is like below:

Since we (Analog Devices) updated our Blackfin kernel to 2.6.28, we've
seen occasional 5-second hangs from telnet. telnetd calls select with a
NULL timeout, but with the new kernel, the system call occasionally
returns 0, which causes telnet to call sleep (5). This did not happen
with earlier kernels.
The code in sys_pselect7 looks a bit strange, in particular the variable
"to" is initialized to NULL, then changed if a non-null timeout was
passed in, but not used further. It needs to be passed to
core_sys_select instead of &end_time.
System calls with an unsigned long long argument can't be converted with
the standard wrappers since that would include a cast to long, which in
turn means that we would lose the upper 32 bit on 32 bit architectures.
Also semctl can't use the standard wrapper since it has a 'union'
parameter.
So we handle them as special case and add some extra wrappers instead.
