KVM: Per-vcpu inodes
Allocate a distinct inode for every vcpu in a VM. This has the following
benefits:
- the filp cachelines are no longer bounced when f_count is incremented on
every ioctl()
- the API and internal code are distinctly clearer; for example, on the
KVM_GET_REGS ioctl, there is no need to copy the vcpu number from
userspace and then copy the registers back; the vcpu identity is derived
from the fd used to make the call
Right now the performance benefits are completely theoretical since (a) we
don't support more than one vcpu per VM and (b) virtualization hardware
inefficiencies completely everwhelm any cacheline bouncing effects. But
both of these will change, and we need to prepare the API today.

[RADEON]: Fix blanking return value.
If you'll recall, over a year ago, I pointed out that the current
Radeon driver erroneously returns -EINVAL for valid blanking codes,
here is a link to that thread:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/28/6
No other driver does this, and it confuses the X server into thinking
that the device does not support blanking properly.
I looked again and there is simply no reason for the Radeon driver to
return -EINVAL for FB_BLANK_NORMAL. It claims it wants to do this in
order to convince fbcon to blank in software, right here:
if (fb_blank(info, blank))
fbcon_generic_blank(vc, info, blank);
to software blank the screen. But it only causes that to happen
in the FB_BLANK_NORMAL case.
That makes no sense because the Radeon code does this:
val |= CRTC_DISPLAY_DIS;
in the FB_BLANK_NORMAL case so should be blanking the hardware, and
there is therefore no reason to SW blank by returning -EINVAL.

[PATCH] tty_io: fix race in master pty close/slave pty close path
This patch fixes a possible race that leads to double freeing an idr index.
When the master begin to close, release_dev() is called and then
pty_close() is called:
if (tty->driver->close)
tty->driver->close(tty, filp);
This is done without helding any locks other than BKL. Inside pty_close(),
being a master close, the devpts entry will be removed:
#ifdef CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS
if (tty->driver == ptm_driver)
devpts_pty_kill(tty->index);
#endif
But devpts_pty_kill() will call get_node() that may sleep while waiting for
&devpts_root->d_inode->i_sem. When this happens and the slave is being
opened, tty_open() just found the driver and index:
This part of the code is already protected under tty_mute. The problem is
that the slave close already got an index. Then init_dev() is called and
blocks waiting for the same &devpts_root->d_inode->i_sem.
When the master close resumes, it removes the devpts entry, and the
relation between idr index and the tty is gone. The master then sleeps
waiting for the tty_mutex on release_dev().
Slave open resumes and found no tty for that index. As result, a NULL tty
is returned and init_dev() doesn't flow to fast_track:
/* check whether we're reopening an existing tty */
if (driver->flags & TTY_DRIVER_DEVPTS_MEM) {
tty = devpts_get_tty(idx);
if (tty && driver->subtype == PTY_TYPE_MASTER)
tty = tty->link;
} else {
tty = driver->ttys[idx];
}
if (tty) goto fast_track;
The result of this, is that a new tty will be created and init_dev() returns
sucessfull. After returning, tty_mutex is dropped and master close may resume.
Master close finds it's the only use and both sides are closing, then releases
the tty and the index. At this point, the idr index is free, but slave still
has it.
Slave open then calls pty_open() and finds that tty->link->count is 0,
because there's no master and returns error. Then tty_open() calls
release_dev() which executes without any warning, as it was a case of last
slave close when the master is already closed (master->count == 0,
slave->count == 1). The tty is then released with the already released idr
index.
This normally would only issue a warning on idr_remove() but in case of a
customer's critical application, it's never too simple:
thread1: opens master, gets index X
thread1: begin closing master
thread2: begin opening slave with index X
thread1: finishes closing master, index X released
thread3: opens master, gets index X, just released
thread2: fails opening slave, releases index X <----
thread4: opens master, gets index X, init_dev() then find an already in use
and healthy tty and fails
If no more indexes are released, ptmx_open() will keep failing, as the
first free index available is X, and it will make init_dev() fail because
you're trying to "reopen a master" which isn't valid.
The patch notices when this race happens and make init_dev() fail
imediately. The init_dev() function is called with tty_mutex held, so it's
safe to continue with tty till the end of function because release_dev()
won't make any further changes without grabbing the tty_mutex.
Without the patch, on some machines it's possible get easily idr warnings

[PATCH] ext[34]: EA block reference count racing fix
There are race issues around ext[34] xattr block release code.
ext[34]_xattr_release_block() checks the reference count of xattr block
(h_refcount) and frees that xattr block if it is the last one reference it.
Unlike ext2, the check of this counter is unprotected by any lock.
ext[34]_xattr_release_block() will free the mb_cache entry before freeing
that xattr block. There is a small window between the check for the re
h_refcount ==1 and the call to mb_cache_entry_free(). During this small
window another inode might find this xattr block from the mbcache and reuse
it, racing a refcount updates. The xattr block will later be freed by the
first inode without notice other inode is still use it. Later if that
block is reallocated as a datablock for other file, then more serious
problem might happen.
We need put a lock around places checking the refount as well to avoid
racing issue. Another place need this kind of protection is in
ext3_xattr_block_set(), where it will modify the xattr block content in-
the-fly if the refcount is 1 (means it's the only inode reference it).
This will also fix another issue: the xattr block may not get freed at all
if no lock is to protect the refcount check at the release time. It is
possible that the last two inodes could release the shared xattr block at
the same time. But both of them think they are not the last one so only
decreased the h_refcount without freeing xattr block at all.
We need to call lock_buffer() after ext3_journal_get_write_access() to
avoid deadlock (because the later will call lock_buffer()/unlock_buffer
() as well).

having the rtc_class_open()/rtc_class_close() interface increase the RTC's
reference count while an RTC handle is available outside the RTC framework.

[PATCH] fix section mismatch warning in lockdep
lockdep_init() is marked __init but used in several places
outside __init code. This causes following warnings:
$ scripts/mod/modpost kernel/lockdep.o
WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.lockdep_init_map after 'lockdep_init_map' (at offset 0x105)
WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.lockdep_reset_lock after 'lockdep_reset_lock' (at offset 0x35)
WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.__lock_acquire after '__lock_acquire' (at offset 0xb2)
The warnings are less obviously due to heavy inlining by gcc - this is not
altered.
Fix the section mismatch warnings by removing the __init marking, which
seems obviously wrong.

[PATCH] Rename PG_checked to PG_owner_priv_1
Rename PG_checked to PG_owner_priv_1 to reflect its availablilty as a
private flag for use by the owner/allocator of the page. In the case of
pagecache pages (which might be considered to be owned by the mm),
filesystems may use the flag.

[PATCH] Fix posix-cpu-timer breakage caused by stale p->last_ran value
Problem description at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8048
Commit b18ec80396834497933d77b81ec0918519f4e2a7
[PATCH] sched: improve migration accuracy
optimized the scheduler time calculations, but broke posix-cpu-timers.
The problem is that the p->last_ran value is not updated after a context
switch. So a subsequent call to current_sched_time() calculates with a
stale p->last_ran value, i.e. accounts the full time, which the task was
scheduled away.

[PATCH] md: add support for reshape of a raid6
i.e. one or more drives can be added and the array will re-stripe
while on-line.
Most of the interesting work was already done for raid5. This just extends it
to raid6.
mdadm newer than 2.6 is needed for complete safety, however any version of
mdadm which support raid5 reshape will do a good enough job in almost all
cases (an 'echo repair > /sys/block/mdX/md/sync_action' is recommended after a
reshape that was aborted and had to be restarted with an such a version of
mdadm).
