This patch fixes a bd_mount_sem counter corruption bug in device-mapper.
thaw_bdev() should be called only when freeze_bdev() was called for the
device.
Otherwise, thaw_bdev() will up bd_mount_sem and corrupt the semaphore counter.
struct block_device with the corrupted semaphore may remain in slab cache
and be reused later.
Attached patch will fix it by calling unlock_fs() instead.
unlock_fs() will determine whether it should call thaw_bdev()
by checking the device is frozen or not.
Easy reproducer is:
#!/bin/sh
while [ 1 ]; do
dmsetup --notable create a
dmsetup --nolockfs suspend a
dmsetup remove a
done
It's not easy to see the effect of corrupted semaphore.
So I have tested with putting printk below in bdev_alloc_inode():
if (atomic_read(&ei->bdev.bd_mount_sem.count) != 1)
printk(KERN_DEBUG "Incorrect semaphore count = %d (%p)\n",
atomic_read(&ei->bdev.bd_mount_sem.count),
&ei->bdev);
Without the patch, I saw something like:
Incorrect semaphore count = 17 (f2ab91c0)
With the patch, the message didn't appear.
The bug was introduced in 2.6.16 with this bug fix:
commit d9dde59ba0
Date: Fri Feb 24 13:04:24 2006 -0800
[PATCH] dm: missing bdput/thaw_bdev at removal
Need to unfreeze and release bdev otherwise the bdev inode with
inconsistent state is reused later and cause problem.
and backported to 2.6.15.5.
It occurs only in free_dev(), which is called only when the dm device is
removed. The buggy code is executed only if md->suspended_bdev is
non-NULL and that can happen only when the device was suspended without
noflush.

Make size of dm_ioctl struct always 312 bytes on all supported
architectures.
This change retains compatibility with already-compiled code because
it uses an embedded offset to locate the payload that follows the
structure.
On 64-bit architectures there is no change at all; on 32-bit
we are increasing the size of dm-ioctl from 308 to 312 bytes.
Currently with 32-bit userspace / 64-bit kernel on x86_64
some ioctls (including rename, message) are incorrectly rejected
by the comparison against 'param + 1'. This breaks userspace
lvrename and multipath 'fail_if_no_path' changes, for example.
(BTW Device-mapper uses its own versioning and ignores the ioctl
size bits. Only the generic ioctl compat code on mixed arches
checks them, and that will continue to accept both sizes for now,
but we intend to list 308 as deprecated and eventually remove it.)

lookup() and sillyrename() can race one another because the sillyrename()
completion cannot take the parent directory's inode->i_mutex since the
latter may be held by whoever is calling dput().
We therefore have little option but to add extra locking to ensure that
nfs_lookup() and nfs_atomic_open() do not race with the sillyrename
completion.
If somebody has looked up the sillyrenamed file in the meantime, we just
transfer the sillydelete information to the new dentry.

This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by commit
44dd151d5c
We cannot zero the user page in nfs_mark_uptodate() any more, since
a) We'd be modifying the page without holding the page lock
b) We can race with other updates of the page, most notably
because of the call to nfs_wb_page() in nfs_writepage_setup().
Instead, we do the zeroing in nfs_update_request() if we see that we're
creating a request that might potentially be marked as up to date.
Thanks to Olivier Paquet for reporting the bug and providing a test-case.

Because the total amount of System RAM must be known when calling this

variable.
Also, the crashkernel handling is moved in an own function in

This patch adds a extended crashkernel syntax that makes the value of reserved
system RAM dependent on the system RAM itself:
crashkernel=<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,...][@offset]
range=start-[end]
For example:
crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M
The motivation comes from distributors that configure their crashkernel
command line automatically with some configuration tool (YaST, you know ;)).
Of course that tool knows the value of System RAM, but if the user removes
RAM, then the system becomes unbootable or at least unusable and error
handling is very difficult.
This series implements this change for i386, x86_64, ia64, ppc64 and sh. That
should be all platforms that support kdump in current mainline. I tested all
platforms except sh due to the lack of a sh processor.
This patch:
This is the generic part of the patch. It adds a parse_crashkernel() function
in kernel/kexec.c that is called by the architecture specific code that
actually reserves the memory. That function takes the whole command line and
looks itself for "crashkernel=" in it.
If there are multiple occurrences, then the last one is taken. The advantage
is that if you have a bootloader like lilo or elilo which allows you to append
a command line parameter but not to remove one (like in GRUB), then you can
add another crashkernel value for testing at the boot command line and this
one overwrites the command line in the configuration then.

This is a patch that fixes the way idr_find() used to be called in ipc_lock():
in all the paths that don't imply an update of the ipcs idr, it was called
without the idr tree being locked.
The changes are:
. in ipc_ids, the mutex has been changed into a reader/writer semaphore.
. ipc_lock() now takes the mutex as a reader during the idr_find().
. a new routine ipc_lock_down() has been defined: it doesn't take the
mutex, assuming that it is being held by the caller. This is the routine
that is now called in all the update paths.
