dm mpath: fix stall when requeueing io
This patch fixes the problem that system may stall if target's ->map_rq
returns DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE in map_request().
E.g. stall happens on 1 CPU box when a dm-mpath device with queue_if_no_path
bounces between all-paths-down and paths-up on I/O load.
When target's ->map_rq returns DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE, map_request() requeues
the request and returns to dm_request_fn(). Then, dm_request_fn()
doesn't exit the I/O dispatching loop and continues processing
the requeued request again.
This map and requeue loop can be done with interrupt disabled,
so 1 CPU system can be stalled if this situation happens.
For example, commands below can stall my 1 CPU box within 1 minute or so:
# dmsetup table mp
mp: 0 2097152 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path 0 1 1 service-time 0 1 2 8:144 1 1

> dmsetup suspend --noflush mp \
> dmsetup resume mp \
> dmsetup message mp 0 "reinstate_path 8:144" \
> done
To fix the problem above, this patch changes dm_request_fn() to exit
the I/O dispatching loop once if a request is requeued in map_request().

dm raid1: fix null pointer dereference in suspend
When suspending a failed mirror, bios are completed by mirror_end_io() and
__rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec() returns NULL where a non-NULL return value is
required by design. Fix this by not changing the state of the recovery failed
region from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end().
Issue
On 2.6.33-rc1 kernel, I hit the bug when I suspended the failed
mirror by dmsetup command.
When recovery process of a region failed, dm_rh_recovery_end() function
changes the state of the region from RM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC.
When recovery_complete() is executed between dm_rh_update_states() and
dm_writes() in do_mirror(), bios are processed with the region state,
DM_RH_NOSYNC. However, the region data is freed without checking its
pending count when dm_rh_update_states() is called next time.
When bios are finished by mirror_end_io(), __rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec()
returns NULL even though a valid return value are expected.
Solution
Remove the state change of the recovery failed region from DM_RH_RECOVERING
to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end(). We can remove the state change
because:
- If the region data has been released by dm_rh_update_states(),
a new region data is created with the state of DM_RH_NOSYNC, and
bios are processed according to the DM_RH_NOSYNC state.
- If the region data has not been released by dm_rh_update_states(),
a state of the region is DM_RH_RECOVERING and bios are put in the
delayed_bio list.
The flag change from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end()
was added in the following commit:

dm log: userspace fix overhead_size calcuations
This patch fixes two bugs that revolve around the miscalculation and
misuse of the variable 'overhead_size'. 'overhead_size' is the size of
the various header structures used during communication.
The first bug is the use of 'sizeof' with the pointer of a structure
instead of the structure itself - resulting in the wrong size being
computed. This is then used in a check to see if the payload
(data_size) would be to large for the preallocated structure. Since the
bug produces a smaller value for the overhead, it was possible for the
structure to be breached. (Although the current users of the code do
not currently send enough data to trigger this bug.)
The second bug is that the 'overhead_size' value is used to compute how
much of the preallocated space should be cleared before populating it
with fresh data. This should have simply been 'sizeof(struct cn_msg)'
not overhead_size. The fact that 'overhead_size' was computed
incorrectly made this problem "less bad" - leaving only a pointer's
worth of space at the end uncleared. Thus, this bug was never producing
a bad result, but still needs to be fixed - especially now that the
value is computed correctly.

NFS: Too many GETATTR and ACCESS calls after direct I/O
The cached read and write paths initialize fattr->time_start in their
setup procedures. The value of fattr->time_start is propagated to
read_cache_jiffies by nfs_update_inode(). Subsequent calls to
nfs_attribute_timeout() will then use a good time stamp when
computing the attribute cache timeout, and squelch unneeded GETATTR
calls.
Since the direct I/O paths erroneously leave the inode's
fattr->time_start field set to zero, read_cache_jiffies for that inode
is set to zero after any direct read or write operation. This
triggers an otw GETATTR or ACCESS call to update the file's attribute
and access caches properly, even when the NFS READ or WRITE replies
have usable post-op attributes.
Make sure the direct read and write setup code performs the same fattr
initialization as the cached I/O paths to prevent unnecessary GETATTR
calls.
This was likely introduced by commit 0e574af1 in 2.6.15, which appears
to add new nfs_fattr_init() call sites in the cached read and write
paths, but not in the equivalent places in fs/nfs/direct.c. A
subsequent commit in the same series, 33801147, introduces the
fattr->time_start field.
Interestingly, the direct write reschedule path already has a call to

firewire: ohci: retransmit isochronous transmit packets on cycle loss
In isochronous transmit DMA descriptors, link the skip address pointer
back to the descriptor itself. When a cycle is lost, the controller
will send the packet in the next cycle, instead of terminating the
entire DMA program.
There are two reasons for this:
* This behaviour is compatible with the old IEEE1394 stack. Old
applications would not expect the DMA program to stop in this case.
* Since the OHCI driver does not report any uncompleted packets, the
context would stop silently; clients would not have any chance to
detect and handle this error without a watchdog timer.
Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de>
Pieter Palmers notes:
"The reason I added this retry behavior to the old stack is because some
cards now and then fail to send a packet (e.g. the o2micro card in my
dell laptop). I couldn't figure out why exactly this happens, my best
guess is that the card cannot fetch the payload data on time. This
happens much more frequently when sending large packets, which leads me
to suspect that there are some contention issues with the DMA that fills
the transmit FIFO.
In the old stack it was a pretty critical issue as it resulted in a
freeze of the userspace application.
The omission of a packet doesn't necessarily have to be an issue. E.g.
in IEC61883 streams the DBC field can be used to detect discontinuities
in the stream. So as long as the other side doesn't bail when no
[packet] is present in a cycle, there is not really a problem.
I'm not convinced though that retrying is the proper solution, but it is
simple and effective for what it had to do. And I think there are no
reasons not to do it this way. Userspace can still detect this by

Btrfs: btrfs_mark_extent_written uses the wrong slot
My test do: fallocate a big file and do write. The file is 512M, but
after file write is done btrfs-debug-tree shows:
item 6 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 0) itemoff 3516 itemsize 53
extent data disk byte 1103101952 nr 536870912
extent data offset 0 nr 399634432 ram 536870912
extent compression 0
Looks like a regression introducted by 6c7d54ac87f338c479d9729e8392eca3f76e11e1, where we set wrong slot.

ALSA: hda - use WARN_ON_ONCE() for zero-division detection
Replace the zero-division warning message with WARN_ON_ONCE() per the
advice by Linus. This shouldn't happen, but if it happens, it's
possible that the bug happens often due to buggy IRQs.

parisc: fix tracing of signals
Mike Frysinger pointed out that calling tracehook_signal_handler with
stepping=0 missed testing the thread flags, resulting in not calling
ptrace_notify. Fix this by testing if we're single stepping or branch
stepping and setting the flag accordingly.

[IA64] preserve personality flag bits across exec
In its <asm/elf.h> ia64 defines SET_PERSONALITY in a way that unconditionally
sets the personality of the current process to PER_LINUX, losing any flag bits
from the upper 3 bytes of current->personality. This is wrong. Those bits are
intended to be inherited across exec (other code takes care of ensuring that
security sensitive bits like ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE are not passed to unsuspecting
setuid/setgid applications).

regulator: Fix display of null constraints for regulators
If the regulator constraints are empty and there is no voltage
reported then nothing will be added to the text displayed for the
constraints, leading to random stack data being printed. This is
unlikely to happen for practical regulators since most will at
least report a voltage but should still be fixed.

This patch solves a corner case during allocation which occurs if both
metadata (indirect) and data blocks are required but there is an
obstacle in the filesystem (e.g. a resource group header or another
allocated block) such that when the allocation is requested only
enough blocks for the metadata are returned.
By changing the exit condition of this loop, we ensure that a
minimum of one data block will always be returned.
