Rob Landley e7b6905582 [PATCH] Initramfs docs update
New section on creating an external initramfs image using cpio (with
script), a warning about bad advice in the cpio man page, a bit of
debugging advice (hello world and rdinit=/bin/sh), and a few minor tweaks
to other parts of it.

Randy Dunlap 850622dfaf [PATCH] kernel-doc: warn on malformed function docs.
When the verbose (-v) option is used with scripts/kernel-doc, this option
reports when the kernel-doc format is malformed and apparently contains
function description lines before function parameters.  In these cases, the
kernel-doc script will print something like: Warning(filemap.c:335):
contents before sections

I have fixed the problems in mm/filemap.c and added lots of kernel-doc to
that file (posted to the linux-mm mailing list Mon.  2006-June-12).

The real goal (as requested by Andrew Morton) is to allow the short
function description to be more than one line long.  This patch is both a
kernel-doc checker and a tool en route to that goal.

Miklos Szeredi 9c8ef5614d [PATCH] fuse: scramble lock owner ID
VFS uses current->files pointer as lock owner ID, and it wouldn't be
prudent to expose this value to userspace.  So scramble it with XTEA using
a per connection random key, known only to the kernel.  Only one direction
needs to be implemented, since the ID is never sent in the reverse
direction.

The XTEA algorithm is implemented inline since it's simple enough to do so,
and this adds less complexity than if the crypto API were used.

Thanks to Jesper Juhl for the idea.

Miklos Szeredi 33649c91a3 [PATCH] fuse: ensure FLUSH reaches userspace
All POSIX locks owned by the current task are removed on close().  If the
FLUSH request resulting initiated by close() fails to reach userspace, there
might be locks remaining, which cannot be removed.

The only reason it could fail, is if allocating the request fails.  In this
case use the request reserved for RELEASE, or if that is currently used by
another FLUSH, wait for it to become available.

This patch adds POSIX file locking support to the fuse interface.

This implementation doesn't keep any locking state in kernel.  Unlocking on
close() is handled by the FLUSH message, which now contains the lock owner id.

Mandatory locking is not supported.  The filesystem may enfoce mandatory
locking in userspace if needed.

Miklos Szeredi bafa96541b [PATCH] fuse: add control filesystem
Add a control filesystem to fuse, replacing the attributes currently exported
through sysfs.  An empty directory '/sys/fs/fuse/connections' is still created
in sysfs, and mounting the control filesystem here provides backward
compatibility.

Advantages of the control filesystem over the previous solution:

  - allows the object directory and the attributes to be owned by the
    filesystem owner, hence letting unpriviled users abort the
    filesystem connection

  - does not suffer from module unload race

Miklos Szeredi 51eb01e735 [PATCH] fuse: no backgrounding on interrupt
Don't put requests into the background when a fatal interrupt occurs while the
request is in userspace.  This removes a major wart from the implementation.

Backgrounding of requests was introduced to allow breaking of deadlocks.
However now the same can be achieved by aborting the filesystem through the
'abort' sysfs attribute.

This is a change in the interface, but should not cause problems, since these
kinds of deadlocks never happen during normal operation.

Ian Kent f9022f6633 [PATCH] autofs4: need to invalidate children on tree mount expire
I've found a case where invalid dentrys in a mount tree, waiting to be
cleaned up by d_invalidate, prevent the expected expire.

In this case dentrys created during a lookup for which a mount fails or has
no entry in the mount map contribute to the d_count of the parent dentry.
These dentrys may not be invalidated prior to comparing the interanl usage
count of valid autofs dentrys against the dentry d_count which makes a
mount tree appear busy so it doesn't expire.

Wu Fengguang 76d42bd969 [PATCH] readahead: backoff on I/O error
Backoff readahead size exponentially on I/O error.

Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> described the problem as:

[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.
[/QUOTE]

Which was confirmed by Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>:

[QUOTE]
For ide-cd, it tends do only end the first part of the request on a
medium error. So you may see a lot of repeats :/
[/QUOTE]

With this patch, retries are expected to be reduced from, say, 256, to 5.

Peter Staubach 6e656be899 [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).

My thanx to Stephen Tweedie and Trond Myklebust for their help in
understanding the situation and semantics.

akpm@osdl.org 838cd153a5 [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

  set->sig[0] = compat->sig[0] | (((long)compat->sig[1]) << 32 )

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

  set->sig[0] = compat->sig[1] | (((long)compat->sig[0]) << 32 );

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.

Randy Dunlap 8ad2914d9c [PATCH] checkstack: print module names
Finding "init_module" high stack usage problems is challenging when there
are over 1600 "init_module" functions in the kernel tree, so make
checkstack.pl print out the filename where the stack usage occurs.  This is
useful for code built as loadable modules.

For built-in code, it just prints the kernel image file name, like
"vmlinux".  Examples:

(before patch:)
0x0000000d callback:					1928
0xffffffff81678c09 huft_build:				1560
0x0018 init_module:					1512

(after patch:)
0x0000000d callback [divacapi]:				1928
0xffffffff81678c09 huft_build [vmlinux]:		1560
0x0018 init_module [hdaps]:				1512

Also change one if-series to use elsif to cut down on unneeded tests.

Raphael Assenat 362600fe60 [PATCH] Add v3020 RTC support
This patch adds support for the v3020 RTC from EM Microelectronic.

The v3020 RTC is designed to be connected on a bus using only one data bit.
 Since any data bit may be used, it is necessary to specify this to the
driver by passing a struct v3020_platform_data pointer (see
include/linux/rtc-v3020.h) to the driver.

Part of the following code comes from the kernel patchs produced by
Compulab for their products.  The original file (available here:

the GPL license.
