[PATCH] Implement AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW flag for linkat
When the linkat() syscall was added the flag parameter was added in the
last minute but it wasn't used so far. The following patch should change
that. My tests show that this is all that's needed.
If OLDNAME is a symlink setting the flag causes linkat to follow the
symlink and create a hardlink with the target. This is actually the
behavior POSIX demands for link() as well but Linux wisely does not do
this. With this flag (which will most likely be in the next POSIX
revision) the programmer can choose the behavior, defaulting to the safe
variant. As a side effect it is now possible to implement a
POSIX-compliant link(2) function for those who are interested.
touch file
ln -s file symlink
linkat(fd, "symlink", fd, "newlink", 0)
-> newlink is hardlink of symlink
linkat(fd, "symlink", fd, "newlink", AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW)
-> newlink is hardlink of file
The value of AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW is determined by the definition we already
use in glibc.

[QUOTE]
Suppose there's a CD-rom with a scratch/etc, one sector is unreadable.
In order to "fix" it, one have to read it and write to another CD-rom,
or something.. or just ignore the error (if it's just a skip in a video
stream). Let's assume the unreadable block is number U.
But current behavior is just insane. An application requests block
number N, which is before U. Kernel tries to read-ahead blocks N..U.
Cdrom drive tries to read it, re-read it.. for some time. Finally,
when all the N..U-1 blocks are read, kernel returns block number N
(as requested) to an application, successefully.
Now an app requests block number N+1, and kernel tries to read
blocks N+1..U+1. Retrying again as in previous step.
And so on, up to when an app requests block number U-1. And when,
finally, it requests block U, it receives read error.
So, kernel currentry tries to re-read the same failing block as
many times as the current readahead value (256 (times?) by default).
This whole process already killed my cdrom drive (I posted about it
to LKML several months ago) - literally, the drive has fried, and
does not work anymore. Ofcourse that problem was a bug in firmware
(or whatever) of the drive *too*, but.. main problem with that is
current readahead logic as described above.

[PATCH] ftruncate does not always update m/ctime
In the course of trying to track down a bug where a file mtime was not
being updated correctly, it was discovered that the m/ctime updates were
not quite being handled correctly for ftruncate() calls.
Quoth SUSv3:
open(2):
If O_TRUNC is set and the file did previously exist, upon
successful completion, open() shall mark for update the st_ctime
and st_mtime fields of the file.
truncate(2):
Upon successful completion, if the file size is changed, this
function shall mark for update the st_ctime and st_mtime fields
of the file, and the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits of the file mode
may be cleared.
ftruncate(2):
Upon successful completion, if fildes refers to a regular file,
the ftruncate() function shall mark for update the st_ctime and
st_mtime fields of the file and the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits of
the file mode may be cleared. If the ftruncate() function is
unsuccessful, the file is unaffected.
The open(O_TRUNC) and truncate cases were being handled correctly, but the
ftruncate case was being handled like the truncate case. The semantics of
truncate and ftruncate don't quite match, so ftruncate needs to be handled
slightly differently.
The attached patch addresses this issue for ftruncate(2).

[PATCH] N32 sigset and __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__
I'm testing glibc on MIPS64, little-endian, N32, O32 and N64 multilibs.
Among the NPTL test failures seen are some arising from sigsuspend problems
for N32: it blocks the wrong signals, so SIGCANCEL (SIGRTMIN) is blocked
despite glibc's carefully excluding it from sets of signals to block.
Specifically, testing suggests it blocks signal N^32 instead of signal N,
so (in the example tested) blocking SIGUSR1 (17) blocks signal 49 instead.
glibc's sigset_t uses an array of unsigned long, as does the kernel.
In both cases, signal N+1 is represented as
(1UL << (N % (8 * sizeof (unsigned long)))) in word number
(N / (8 * sizeof (unsigned long))).
Thus the N32 glibc uses an array of 32-bit words and the N64 kernel uses an
array of 64-bit words. For little-endian, the layout is the same, with
signals 1-32 in the first 4 bytes, signals 33-64 in the second, etc.; for
big-endian, userspace has that layout while in the kernel each 8 bytes have
the two halves swapped from the userspace layout.
The N32 sigsuspend syscall uses sigset_from_compat to convert the userspace
sigset to kernel format. If __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__ is *not* set, this uses
logic of the form
to convert the userspace sigset to a kernel one. This looks correct to me
for both big and little endian, given that in userspace compat->sig[1] will
represent signals 33-64, and so will the high 32 bits of set->sig[0] in the
kernel. If however __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__ *is* set, as it is for
__MIPSEL__, it uses
which seems incorrect for both big and little endian, and would
explain the observed symptoms.
This code is the only use of __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__, so if incorrect
then that macro serves no purpose, in which case something like the
following patch would seem appropriate to remove it.

[PATCH] epoll: use unlocked wqueue operations
A few days ago Arjan signaled a lockdep red flag on epoll locks, and
precisely between the epoll's device structure lock (->lock) and the wait
queue head lock (->lock).
Like I explained in another email, and directly to Arjan, this can't happen
in reality because of the explicit check at eventpoll.c:592, that does not
allow to drop an epoll fd inside the same epoll fd. Since lockdep is
working on per-structure locks, it will never be able to know of policies
enforced in other parts of the code.
It was decided time ago of having the ability to drop epoll fds inside
other epoll fds, that triggers a very trick wakeup operations (due to
possibly reentrant callback-driven wakeups) handled by the
ep_poll_safewake() function. While looking again at the code though, I
noticed that all the operations done on the epoll's main structure wait
queue head (->wq) are already protected by the epoll lock (->lock), so that
locked-style functions can be used to manipulate the ->wq member. This
makes both a lock-acquire save, and lockdep happy.

[PATCH] ext3_fsblk_t: filesystem, group blocks and bug fixes
Some of the in-kernel ext3 block variable type are treated as signed 4 bytes
int type, thus limited ext3 filesystem to 8TB (4kblock size based). While
trying to fix them, it seems quite confusing in the ext3 code where some
blocks are filesystem-wide blocks, some are group relative offsets that need
to be signed value (as -1 has special meaning). So it seem saner to define
two types of physical blocks: one is filesystem wide blocks, another is
group-relative blocks. The following patches clarify these two types of
blocks in the ext3 code, and fix the type bugs which limit current 32 bit ext3
filesystem limit to 8TB.
With this series of patches and the percpu counter data type changes in the mm
tree, we are able to extend exts filesystem limit to 16TB.
This work is also a pre-request for the recent >32 bit ext3 work, and makes
the kernel to able to address 48 bit ext3 block a lot easier: Simply redefine
ext3_fsblk_t from unsigned long to sector_t and redefine the format string for
ext3 filesystem block corresponding.
Two RFC with a series patches have been posted to ext2-devel list and have
been reviewed and discussed:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114722190816690&w=2
Patches are tested on both 32 bit machine and 64 bit machine, <8TB ext3 and
>8TB ext3 filesystem(with the latest to be released e2fsprogs-1.39). Tests
includes overnight fsx, tiobench, dbench and fsstress.
This patch:
Defines ext3_fsblk_t and ext3_grpblk_t, and the printk format string for
filesystem wide blocks.
This patch classifies all block group relative blocks, and ext3_fsblk_t blocks
occurs in the same function where used to be confusing before. Also include
kernel bug fixes for filesystem wide in-kernel block variables. There are
some fileystem wide blocks are treated as int/unsigned int type in the kernel

[PATCH] Prepare for __copy_from_user_inatomic to not zero missed bytes
The problem is that when we write to a file, the copy from userspace to
pagecache is first done with preemption disabled, so if the source address is
not immediately available the copy fails *and* *zeros* *the* *destination*.
This is a problem because a concurrent read (which admittedly is an odd thing
to do) might see zeros rather that was there before the write, or what was
there after, or some mixture of the two (any of these being a reasonable thing
to see).
If the copy did fail, it will immediately be retried with preemption
re-enabled so any transient problem with accessing the source won't cause an
error.
The first copying does not need to zero any uncopied bytes, and doing so
causes the problem. It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than copy_from_user
so the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic to *not* zero out
bytes on failure.
The first of these two patches prepares for the change by fixing two places
which assume copy_from_user_atomic does zero the tail. The two usages are
very similar pieces of code which copy from a userspace iovec into one or more
page-cache pages. These are changed to remove the assumption.
The second patch changes __copy_from_user_inatomic* to not zero the tail.
Once these are accepted, I will look at similar patches of other architectures
where this is important (ppc, mips and sparc being the ones I can find).
This patch:
There is a problem with __copy_from_user_inatomic zeroing the tail of the
buffer in the case of an error. As it is called in atomic context, the error
may be transient, so it results in zeros being written where maybe they
shouldn't be.
In the usage in filemap, this opens a window for a well timed read to see data
(zeros) which is not consistent with any ordering of reads and writes.
Most cases where __copy_from_user_inatomic is called, a failure results in
__copy_from_user being called immediately. As long as the latter zeros the
tail, the former doesn't need to. However in *copy_from_user_iovec
implementations (in both filemap and ntfs/file), it is assumed that
copy_from_user_inatomic will zero the tail.
This patch removes that assumption, so that after this patch it will
be safe for copy_from_user_inatomic to not zero the tail.
This patch also adds some commentary to filemap.h and asm-i386/uaccess.h.
After this patch, all architectures that might disable preempt when
kmap_atomic is called need to have their __copy_from_user_inatomic* "fixed".
