ext4: optimize orphan_list handling for ext4_setattr
Surprisingly chown() on ext4 is not SMP scalable operation.
Due to unconditional orphan_del(NULL, inode) in ext4_setattr()
result in significant performance overhead because of global orphan

ext4: fix kernel oops if the journal superblock has a non-zero j_errno
Commit 84061e0 fixed an accounting bug only to introduce the
possibility of a kernel OOPS if the journal has a non-zero j_errno
field indicating that the file system had detected a fs inconsistency.
After the journal replay, if the journal superblock indicates that the
file system has an error, this indication is transfered to the file
system and then ext4_commit_super() is called to write this to the
disk.
But since the percpu counters are now initialized after the journal

it needs to use the percpu counters the ext4 superblock structure.
The fix is to skip setting the ext4 free block and free inode fields

As in write_cache_pages(), write_cache_pages_da() does
this scanning for us as we assemble the mpd for later

If you start a large buffered IO to a file, and then set
fsync after it, you'll find that fsync does not complete

If you continue re-dirtying the file (say, putting dd
with conv=notrunc in a loop), when fsync finally completes
(after all IO is done), it reports via tracing that
it has written many more pages than the file contains;
in other words it has synced and re-synced pages in
the file multiple times.
This then leads to problems with our writeback_index
update, since it advances it by pages written, and
essentially sets writeback_index off the end of the
file...

dirty at the time of the sync.

2) "BH_Delay" flag is set on the buffer_head of its block.
3) - the member, "m_lblk" of struct mpage_da_data is 4294967295 (UINT_MAX)
- the member, "m_len" of struct mpage_da_data is 1
mpage_put_bnr_to_bhs() which is called via ext4_da_writepages()
cannot clear "BH_Delay" flag of the buffer_head because the type of
m_lblk is ext4_lblk_t and then m_lblk + m_len is overflow.
Therefore an infinite loop occurs because ext4_da_writepages()
cannot write the page (which corresponds to the block) since
"BH_Delay" flag isn't cleared.

ext4: improve llseek error handling for overly large seek offsets
The llseek system call should return EINVAL if passed a seek offset
which results in a write error. What this maximum offset should be
depends on whether or not the huge_file file system feature is set,
and whether or not the file is extent based or not.
If the file has no "EXT4_EXTENTS_FL" flag, the maximum size which can be
written (write systemcall) is different from the maximum size which can be
sought (lseek systemcall).
For example, the following 2 cases demonstrates the differences
between the maximum size which can be written, versus the seek offset
allowed by the llseek system call:
#1: mkfs.ext3 <dev>; mount -t ext4 <dev>
#2: mkfs.ext3 <dev>; tune2fs -Oextent,huge_file <dev>; mount -t ext4 <dev>
Table. the max file size which we can write or seek
at each filesystem feature tuning and file flag setting

|case \| | |

+------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+
The differences exist because ext4 has 2 maxbytes which are sb->s_maxbytes
(= extent-mapped maxbytes) and EXT4_SB(sb)->s_bitmap_maxbytes (= block-mapped
maxbytes). Although generic_file_llseek uses only extent-mapped maxbytes.
(llseek of ext4_file_operations is generic_file_llseek which uses
sb->s_maxbytes.)
Therefore we create ext4 llseek function which uses 2 maxbytes.
The new own function originates from generic_file_llseek().
If the file flag, "EXT4_EXTENTS_FL" is not set, the function alters
inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes into EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb)->s_bitmap_maxbytes.

ext4: add support for lazy inode table initialization
When the lazy_itable_init extended option is passed to mke2fs, it
considerably speeds up filesystem creation because inode tables are
not zeroed out. The fact that parts of the inode table are
uninitialized is not a problem so long as the block group descriptors,
which contain information regarding how much of the inode table has
been initialized, has not been corrupted However, if the block group
checksums are not valid, e2fsck must scan the entire inode table, and
the the old, uninitialized data could potentially cause e2fsck to
report false problems.
Hence, it is important for the inode tables to be initialized as soon
as possble. This commit adds this feature so that mke2fs can safely
use the lazy inode table initialization feature to speed up formatting
file systems.
This is done via a new new kernel thread called ext4lazyinit, which is
created on demand and destroyed, when it is no longer needed. There
is only one thread for all ext4 filesystems in the system. When the
first filesystem with inititable mount option is mounted, ext4lazyinit
thread is created, then the filesystem can register its request in the
request list.
This thread then walks through the list of requests picking up
scheduled requests and invoking ext4_init_inode_table(). Next schedule
time for the request is computed by multiplying the time it took to
zero out last inode table with wait multiplier, which can be set with
the (init_itable=n) mount option (default is 10). We are doing
this so we do not take the whole I/O bandwidth. When the thread is no
longer necessary (request list is empty) it frees the appropriate
structures and exits (and can be created later later by another
filesystem).
We do not disturb regular inode allocations in any way, it just do not
care whether the inode table is, or is not zeroed. But when zeroing, we
have to skip used inodes, obviously. Also we should prevent new inode
allocations from the group, while zeroing is on the way. For that we
take write alloc_sem lock in ext4_init_inode_table() and read alloc_sem
in the ext4_claim_inode, so when we are unlucky and allocator hits the
group which is currently being zeroed, it just has to wait.
This can be suppresed using the mount option no_init_itable.

This fix is only a workaround. For a real fix, cpu_sibling_mask() should
be defined in UP include code, eg in linux/smp.h, and asm/smp.h should not be
included directly. This fix is currently not possible because asm/smp.h defines
cpu_sibling_mask() unconditionally and is included directly from many source
files.

tcp: Fix >4GB writes on 64-bit.
Fixes kernel bugzilla #16603
tcp_sendmsg() truncates iov_len to an 'int' which a 4GB write to write
zero bytes, for example.
There is also the problem higher up of how verify_iovec() works. It
wants to prevent the total length from looking like an error return
value.
However it does this using 'int', but syscalls return 'long' (and
thus signed 64-bit on 64-bit machines). So it could trigger
false-positives on 64-bit as written. So fix it to use 'long'.

Fix pktcdvd ioctl dev_minor range check
The PKT_CTRL_CMD_STATUS device ioctl retrieves a pointer to a
pktcdvd_device from the global pkt_devs array. The index into this
array is provided directly by the user and is a signed integer, so the
comparison to ensure that it falls within the bounds of this array will
fail when provided with a negative index.
This can be used to read arbitrary kernel memory or cause a crash due to
an invalid pointer dereference. This can be exploited by users with
permission to open /dev/pktcdvd/control (on many distributions, this is
readable by group "cdrom").

When the interface is up, using ethtool breaks it because:
a) link is put down but media_timer interval is not shortened to NO_LINK
b) rxtx is stopped but not restarted
Also manual 10baseT-HD (and probably FD too - untested) mode does not work -
the link is forced up, packets are transmitted but nothing is received.
Changing CSR14 value to match documentation (not disabling link check) fixes this.

tcp: fix TSO FACK loss marking in tcp_mark_head_lost
When TCP uses FACK algorithm to mark lost packets in
tcp_mark_head_lost(), if the number of packets in the (TSO) skb is
greater than the number of packets that should be marked lost, TCP
incorrectly exits the loop and marks no packets lost in the skb. This
underestimates tp->lost_out and affects the recovery/retransmission.
This patch fargments the skb and marks the correct amount of packets
lost.

This patch (commit 690a1f2002a3091bd18a501f46c9530f10481463) added a
new call site for acpi_set_WOL() without checking that the function is
actually suitable to be called via
i.e. outside of code paths run when the device is not yet enabled or
already disabled. In particular, putting the device into D3hot is a
pretty bad idea when it was already brought up.
Furthermore, all prior callers of the function made sure they're
actually dealing with a PCI device, while the newly added one didn't.
In the same spirit, the .get_wol handler shouldn't indicate support
for WOL for non-PCI devices.

f4347553b30ec66530bfe63c84530afea3803396 removed the edac polling
mechanism in favor of using a notifier chain for conveying MCE
information to edac. However, the module removal path didn't test
whether the driver had setup the polling function workqueue at all and
the rmmod process was hanging in the kernel at try_to_del_timer_sync()
in the cancel_delayed_work() path, trying to cancel an uninitialized
work struct.
Fix that by adding a balancing check to the workqueue removal path.
x86: Avoid 'constant_test_bit()' misoptimization due to cast to non-volatile
While debugging bit_spin_lock() hang, it was tracked down to gcc-4.4
misoptimization of non-inlined constant_test_bit() due to non-volatile
addr when 'const volatile unsigned long *addr' cast to 'unsigned long *'
with subsequent unconditional jump to pause (and not to the test) leading
to hang.
Compiling with gcc-4.3 or disabling CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING yields inlined
constant_test_bit() and correct jump, thus working around the kernel bug.
Other arches than asm-x86 may implement this slightly differently;
2.6.29 mitigates the misoptimization by changing the function prototype
(commit c4295fbb6048d85f0b41c5ced5cbf63f6811c46c) but probably fixing the issue
itself is better.

ipv6: add a missing unregister_pernet_subsys call
Clean up a missing exit path in the ipv6 module init routines. In
addrconf_init we call ipv6_addr_label_init which calls register_pernet_subsys
for the ipv6_addr_label_ops structure. But if module loading fails, or if the
ipv6 module is removed, there is no corresponding unregister_pernet_subsys call,
which leaves a now-bogus address on the pernet_list, leading to oopses in
subsequent registrations. This patch cleans up both the failed load path and
the unload path. Tested by myself with good results.
