cifs: fix wksidarr declaration to be big-endian friendly

2008-07-12T21:33:42Z

The current definition of wksidarr works fine on little endian arches (since cpu_to_le32 is a no-op there), but on big-endian arches, it fails to compile with this error: error: braced-group within expression allowed only inside a function The problem is that this static declaration has cpu_to_le32 embedded within it, and that expands into a function macro. We need to use __constant_cpu_to_le32() instead. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Cc: Steven French Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

cifs: fix inode leak in cifs_get_inode_info_unix

2008-07-12T21:33:42Z

Try this: mount a share with unix extensions create a file on it umount the share You'll get the following message in the ring buffer: VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of cifs. Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day... ...the problem is that cifs_get_inode_info_unix is creating and hashing a new inode even when it's going to return error anyway. The first lookup when creating a file returns an error so we end up leaking this inode before we do the actual create. This appears to be a regression caused by commit 0e4bbde94fdc33f5b3d793166b21bf768ca3e098. The following patch seems to fix it for me, and fixes a minor formatting nit as well.

Fix reference counting race on log buffers

2008-07-11T18:37:18Z

When we release the iclog, we do an atomic_dec_and_lock to determine if we are the last reference and need to trigger update of log headers and writeout. However, in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() we also need to check if we have the last reference count there. If we do, we release the log buffer, otherwise we decrement the reference count. But the compare and decrement in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() is not atomic, so both places can see a reference count of 2 and neither will release the iclog. That leads to a filesystem hang. Close the race by replacing the atomic_read() and atomic_dec() pair with atomic_add_unless() to ensure that they are executed atomically.

exec: fix stack excutability without PT_GNU_STACK

2008-07-10T20:25:43Z

Kernel Bugzilla #11063 points out that on some architectures (e.g. x86_32) exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program header should default to an executable stack; but this got broken by the unlimited argv feature because stack vma is now created before the right personality has been established: so breaking old binaries using nested function trampolines. Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack vm_flags used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup. Checking through our existing VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct: so this seems safer than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.

ocfs2: Fix flags in ocfs2_file_lock

2008-07-10T16:25:39Z

The stack-glue merge changed the way we use flags in dlmglue in that we now use the fs/dlm equivalents. Unfortunately, a merge error left the new flock code only partially updated. This took a while to show up though, because the lock level constants are actually identical between o2dlm and fs/dlm. The *_CONVERT and *_NOQUEUE flags have different values though, which is eventually causing a crash in flags_to_o2dlm(). Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh

reiserfs: discard prealloc in reiserfs_delete_inode

2008-07-08T19:39:31Z

With the removal of struct file from the xattr code, reiserfs_file_release() isn't used anymore, so the prealloc isn't discarded. This causes hangs later down the line. This patch adds it to reiserfs_delete_inode. In most cases it will be a no-op due to it already having been called, but will avoid hangs with xattrs.

NFS: Fix readdir cache invalidation

2008-07-08T19:22:40Z

invalidate_inode_pages2_range() takes page offset arguments, not byte ranges. Another thought is that individual pages might perhaps get evicted by VM pressure, in which case we might perhaps want to re-read not only the evicted page, but all subsequent pages too (in case the server returns more/less data per page so that the alignment of the next entry changes). We should therefore remove the condition that we only do this on page->index==0. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust
