When a gfs2 filesystem is grown, it needs to rebuild the rindex list to be able

which happens when the rindex glock is dropped. However, on a single node
setup, there is never any reason to drop the rindex glock, so gfs2 never
invalidates the the rindex. This patch makes gfs2 automatically drop the

There are two spare field in the header common to all GFS2
metadata. One is just the right size to fit a journal id
in it, and this patch updates the journal code so that each
time a metadata block is modified, we tag it with the journal
id of the node which is performing the modification.
The reason for this is that it should make it much easier to
debug issues which arise if we can tell which node was the
last to modify a particular metadata block.
Since the field is updated before the block is written into
the journal, each journal should only contain metadata which
is tagged with its own journal id. The one exception to this
is the journal header block, which might have a different node's
id in it, if that journal was recovered by another node in the
cluster.
Thus each journal will contain a record of which nodes recovered
it, via the journal header.
The other field in the metadata header could potentially be
used to hold information about what kind of operation was
performed, but for the time being we just zero it on each
transaction so that if we use it for that in future, we'll
know that the information (where it exists) is reliable.
I did consider using the other field to hold the journal
sequence number, however since in GFS2's journaling we write
the modified data into the journal and not the original
data, this gives no information as to what action caused the
modification, so I think we can probably come up with a better
use for those 64 bits in the future.

This function only had one caller left, and that caller only

GFS2: Fix -o meta mounts for subsequent mounts (i.e. all but the first one)
We have a long term plan to use the "-o meta" flag to GFS2 mounts to
access the alternate root which is used to store metadata for a GFS2
filesystem. This will allow us to eventually remove support for the
gfs2meta filesystem type (which is in any case just a "front end" to
the gfs2 filesystem type with the meta/master root).
Currently the "-o meta" option is only taken into account on the
initial mount of the filesystem. Subsequent mounts of the same
filesystem (i.e. on the same device) result in basically the same
as bind mounting the root of the original mount.
This patch changes that by using what is more or less a copy
of get_sb_bdev() and extending it so that it will take into
account the alternate root in all cases. The main difference
is that we have to parse the mount options a bit earlier. We can
then use them to select the appropriate root towards the end of
the function.
In addition this also fixes a bug where it was possible (but certainly
not desirable) to set different ro/rw options for the meta root
when mounted via the gfs2meta fs compared with the original mount.

x86, Calgary IOMMU quirk: Find nearest matching Calgary while walking up the PCI tree

\-33:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM CalIOC2 PCI-E Root Port (rev 01)
\-34:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 1078 (rev 04)

\-01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc ES1000 (rev 02)
03:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM CalIOC2 PCI-E Root Port (rev 01)
\-04:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 1078 (rev 04)
In both nodes, the LSI RAID controller hangs off a CalIOC2
device, but on the secondary nodes, the BIOS hides the VGA
device and substitutes the device tree ending with the disk
controller.
It would seem that Calgary devices don't necessarily appear at
the top of the PCI tree, which means that the current code to
find the Calgary IOMMU that goes with a particular device is
buggy.
Rather than walk all the way to the top of the PCI
device tree and try to match bus number with Calgary descriptor,
the code needs to examine each parent of the particular device;
if it encounters a Calgary with a matching bus number, simply
use that.
Otherwise, we BUG() when the bus number of the Calgary doesn't
match the bus number of whatever's at the top of the device tree.
Extra note: This patch appears to work correctly for the x3950
that came before the x3950 M2.

The RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR costs almost nothing and has located
some bugs that might otherwise have been difficult to track
down. Make it be default for the TREE RCU implementations.
The vmlinux size impact is limited (on 64-bit x86 defconfig):
rcu: Add expedited grace-period support for preemptible RCU
Implement an synchronize_rcu_expedited() for preemptible RCU
that actually is expedited. This uses
synchronize_sched_expedited() to force all threads currently
running in a preemptible-RCU read-side critical section onto the
appropriate ->blocked_tasks[] list, then takes a snapshot of all
of these lists and waits for them to drain.
Enable a fourth level of rcu_node hierarchy for TREE_RCU and
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. This is for stress-testing and experiemental
purposes only, although in theory this would enable 16,777,216
CPUs on 64-bit systems, though only 1,048,576 CPUs on 32-bit
systems. Normal experimental use of this fourth level will
normally set CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=2, requiring a 16-CPU system,
though the more adventurous (and more fortunate) experimenters
may wish to chose CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=3 for 81-CPU systems or even
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=4 for 256-CPU systems.
The number of "quiet" functions has grown recently, and the
names are no longer very descriptive. The point of all of these
functions is to do some portion of the task of reporting a
quiescent state, so rename them accordingly:
o cpu_quiet() becomes rcu_report_qs_rdp(), which reports a
quiescent state to the per-CPU rcu_data structure. If this
turns out to be a new quiescent state for this grace period,
then rcu_report_qs_rnp() will be invoked to propagate the
quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy.
o cpu_quiet_msk() becomes rcu_report_qs_rnp(), which reports
a quiescent state for a given CPU (or possibly a set of CPUs)
up the rcu_node hierarchy.
o cpu_quiet_msk_finish() becomes rcu_report_qs_rsp(), which
reports a full set of quiescent states to the global rcu_state
structure.
o task_quiet() becomes rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp(), which reports
a quiescent state due to a task exiting an RCU read-side critical
section that had previously blocked in that same critical section.
As indicated by the new name, this type of quiescent state is
reported up the rcu_node hierarchy (using rcu_report_qs_rnp()
to do so).

Badness at fs/sysfs/dir.c:487
Reason for that is, that on parisc all kernel modules do have multiple
.text sections due to the usage of the -ffunction-sections compiler flag
which is needed to reach all jump targets on this platform.
An objdump on such a kernel module gives:
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024000000000000000000000034 2**2
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA
1 .text 00000000000000000000000000000058 2**0
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
2 .text.ac97_bus_match 0000001c000000000000000000000058 2**2
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
3 .text 000000000000000000000000000000d4 2**0
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
...
Since the .text sections are empty (size of 0 bytes) and won't be
loaded by the kernel module loader anyway, I don't see a reason
why such sections need to be listed under
/sys/module/<module_name>/sections/<section_name> either.
The attached patch does solve this issue by not exporting section
names which are empty.
