225add6196 [PATCH] udf: initialize parts of inode earlier in create
I saw an oops down this path when trying to create a new file on a UDF
filesystem which was internally marked as readonly, but mounted rw:

udf_create
        udf_new_inode
                new_inode
                        alloc_inode
                        	udf_alloc_inode
                udf_new_block
                        returns EIO due to readonlyness
                iput (on error)
                        udf_put_inode
                                udf_discard_prealloc
                                        udf_next_aext
                                                udf_current_aext
                                                        udf_get_fileshortad
                                                                OOPS

the udf_discard_prealloc() path was examining uninitialized fields of the
udf inode.

udf_discard_prealloc() already has this code to short-circuit the discard
path if no extents are preallocated:

        if (UDF_I_ALLOCTYPE(inode) == ICBTAG_FLAG_AD_IN_ICB ||
                inode->i_size == UDF_I_LENEXTENTS(inode))
        {
                return;
        }

so if we initialize UDF_I_LENEXTENTS(inode) = 0 earlier in udf_new_inode,
we won't try to free the (not) preallocated blocks, since this will match
the i_size = 0 set when the inode was initialized.

b4c76fa721 [PATCH] reiserfs_write_full_page() should not get_block past eof
reiserfs_write_full_page does zero bytes in the file past eof, but it may
call get_block on those buffers as well.  On machines where the page size
is larger than the blocksize, this can result in mmaped files incorrectly
growing up to a block boundary during writepage.

The fix is to avoid calling get_block for any blocks that are entirely past
eof

94f563c426 [PATCH] Fix BeFS slab corruption
In bugzilla #6941, Jens Kilian reported:

"The function befs_utf2nls (in fs/befs/linuxvfs.c) writes a 0 byte past the
end of a block of memory allocated via kmalloc(), leading to memory
corruption.  This happens only for filenames which are pure ASCII and a
multiple of 4 bytes in length.  [...]

Without DEBUG_SLAB, this leads to further corruption and hard lockups; I
believe this is the bug which has made kernels later than 2.6.8 unusable
for me.  (This must be due to changes in memory management, the bug has
been in the BeFS driver since the time it was introduced (AFAICT).)

Steps to reproduce:
Create a directory (in BeOS, naturally :-) with files named, e.g.,
"1", "22", "333", "4444", ...  Mount it in Linux and do an "ls" or "find""

This patch implements the suggested fix. Credits to Jens Kilian for
debugging the problem and finding the right fix.

06fa45d3a1 [PATCH] ufs: handle truncated pages
ufs_get_locked_page is called twice in ufs code, one time in ufs_truncate
path(we allocated last block), and another time when fragments are
reallocated.  In ideal world in the second case on allocation/free block
layer we should not know that things like `truncate' exists, but now with
such crutch like ufs_get_locked_page we can (or should?) skip truncated
pages.

As discussed earlier:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/6/28/136
this patch fixes such issue:

`ufs_get_locked_page' takes page from cache
after that `vmtruncate' takes page and deletes it from cache
`ufs_get_locked_page' locks page, and reports about EIO error.

Also because of find_lock_page always return valid page or NULL, we have no
need to check it if page not NULL.

834a9b8ca7 [PATCH] 9p: fix fid behavior on failed remove
Based on a bug report from Russ Ross <russruss@gmail.com>

According to the spec:

"The remove request asks the file server both to remove the file
 represented by fid and to clunk the fid, even if the remove fails."

but the Linux client seems to expect the fid to be valid after a failed
remove attempt.  Specifically, I'm getting this behavior when attempting to
remove a non-empty directory.

locking.  However, that change added calls to unlock_kernel() in

0a0898cf41 [PATCH] fuse: use jiffies_64
It is entirely possible (though rare) that jiffies half-wraps around, while a
dentry/inode remains in the cache.  This could mean that the dentry/inode is
not invalidated for another half wraparound-time.

To get around this problem, use 64-bit jiffies.  The only problem with this is
that dentry->d_time is 32 bits on 32-bit archs.  So use d_fsdata as the high
32 bits.  This is an ugly hack, but far simpler, than having to allocate
private data just for this purpose.

Since 64-bit jiffies can be assumed never to wrap around, simple comparison
can be used, and a zero time value can represent "invalid".

5b6509aa8c [PATCH] inotify: fix deadlock found by lockdep
This is a real deadlock, a nice complex one:
(warning: long explanation follows so that Andrew can have a complete
patch description)

it's an ABCDA deadlock:

A iprune_mutex
B inode->inotify_mutex
C ih->mutex
D dev->ev_mutex

The AB relationship comes straight from invalidate_inodes()

int invalidate_inodes(struct super_block * sb)
{
        int busy;
        LIST_HEAD(throw_away);

        mutex_lock(&iprune_mutex);
        spin_lock(&inode_lock);
        inotify_unmount_inodes(&sb->s_inodes);

where inotify_umount_inodes() takes the
                mutex_lock(&inode->inotify_mutex);

The BC relationship comes directly from inotify_find_update_watch():
s32 inotify_find_update_watch(struct inotify_handle *ih, struct inode *inode,
                              u32 mask)
{
   ...
        mutex_lock(&inode->inotify_mutex);
        mutex_lock(&ih->mutex);

The CD relationship comes from inotify_rm_wd:
inotify_rm_wd does
        mutex_lock(&inode->inotify_mutex);
        mutex_lock(&ih->mutex)
and then calls inotify_remove_watch_locked() which calls
notify_dev_queue_event() which does
	        mutex_lock(&dev->ev_mutex);

(this strictly is a BCD relationship)

The DA relationship comes from the most interesting part:

  [<ffffffff8022d9f2>] shrink_icache_memory+0x42/0x270
  [<ffffffff80240dc4>] shrink_slab+0x11d/0x1c9
  [<ffffffff802b5104>] try_to_free_pages+0x187/0x244
  [<ffffffff8020efed>] __alloc_pages+0x1cd/0x2e0
  [<ffffffff8025e1f8>] cache_alloc_refill+0x3f8/0x821
  [<ffffffff8020a5e5>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x85/0xcb
  [<ffffffff802db027>] kernel_event+0x2e/0x122
  [<ffffffff8021d61c>] inotify_dev_queue_event+0xcc/0x140

inotify_dev_queue_event schedules a kernel_event which does a
kmem_cache_alloc( , GFP_KERNEL) which may try to shrink slabs, including
the inode cache .. which then takes iprune_mutex.

And voila, there is an AB, a BC, a CD relationship (even a direct BCD),
and also now a DA relationship -> a circular type AB-BA deadlock but
involving 4 locks.

The solution is simple: kernel_event() is NOT allowed to use GFP_KERNEL,
but must use GFP_NOFS to not cause recursion into the VFS.

d1bbf14f37 [PATCH] knfsd: Fix stale file handle problem with subtree_checking.
A recent commit (7fc90ec93a) moved the
call to nfsd_setuser out of the 'find a dentry for a filehandle' branch
of fh_verify so that it would always be called.

This had the unfortunately side-effect of moving *after* the call to
decode_fh, so the prober fsuid was not set when nfsd_acceptable was called,
the 'permission' check did the wrong thing.

This patch moves the nfsd_setuser call back where it was, and add as call
in the other branch of the if.

2ccb48ebb4 [PATCH] ext3: avoid triggering ext3_error on bad NFS file handle
The inode number out of an NFS file handle gets passed eventually to
ext3_get_inode_block() without any checking.  If ext3_get_inode_block()
allows it to trigger an error, then bad filehandles can have unpleasant
effect - ext3_error() will usually cause a forced read-only remount, or a
panic if `errors=panic' was used.

So remove the call to ext3_error there and put a matching check in
ext3/namei.c where inode numbers are read off storage.

The other patches already fixed the problem chmod() could cause, so this

2589045466 [PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: /proc export of aggregated block I/O delays
Export I/O delays seen by a task through /proc/<tgid>/stats for use in top
etc.

Note that delays for I/O done for swapping in pages (swapin I/O) is clubbed
together with all other I/O here (this is not the case in the netlink
interface where the swapin I/O is kept distinct)

6fbe82a952 [PATCH] reiserfs: fix handling of device names with /'s in them
On systems with block devices containing a slash (virtual dasd, cciss,
etc), reiserfs will fail to initialize /proc/fs/reiserfs/<dev> due to it
being interpreted as a subdirectory.  The generic block device code changes
the / to !  for use in the sysfs tree.  This patch uses that convention.

Tested by making dm devices use dm/<number> rather than dm-<number>

de45921535 [PATCH] struct file leakage
2.6.16 leaks like hell. While testing, I found massive leakage
(reproduced in openvz) in:

*filp
*size-4096

And 1 object leaks in
*size-32
*size-64
*size-128

It is the fix for the first one.  filp leaks in the bowels of namei.c.

Seems, size-4096 is file table leaking in expand_fdtables.

I have no idea what are the rest and why they show only accompanying
another leaks.  Some debugging structs?

18b0bbd8ca Fix nasty /proc vulnerability
We have a bad interaction with both the kernel and user space being able
to change some of the /proc file status.  This fixes the most obvious
part of it, but I expect we'll also make it harder for users to modify
even their "own" files in /proc.

232ba9dbd6 [PATCH] lockdep: annotate the sysfs i_mutex to be a separate class
sysfs has a different i_mutex lock order behavior for i_mutex than the
other filesystems; sysfs i_mutex is called in many places with subsystem
locks held.  At the same time, many of the VFS locking rules do not apply
to sysfs at all (cross directory rename for example).  To untangle this
mess (which gives false positives in lockdep), we're giving sysfs inodes
their own class for i_mutex.

d579091b43 [PATCH] fix fdset leakage
When found, it is obvious.  nfds calculated when allocating fdsets is
rewritten by calculation of size of fdtable, and when we are unlucky, we
try to free fdsets of wrong size.

Found due to OpenVZ resource management (User Beancounters).
