Currently many file systems in Linux kernel do not return f_fsid in statfs
info, the value is set as 0 in vfs layer. Anyway, in some conditions,
f_fsid from statfs(2) is useful, especially being used as (f_fsid, ino)
pair to uniquely identify a file.
Basic idea of the patches is generating a unique fs ID by
huge_encode_dev(sb->s_bdev->bd_dev) during file system mounting life time
(no endian consistent issue). sb is a point of struct super_block of
current mounted file system being accessed by statfs(2).
This patch:
Make adfs return f_fsid info for statfs(2), and do a little variable
renaming in adfs_statfs().

This patch adds preadv and pwritev system calls. These syscalls are a
pretty straightforward combination of pread and readv (same for write).
They are quite useful for doing vectored I/O in threaded applications.
Using lseek+readv instead opens race windows you'll have to plug with
locking.
Other systems have such system calls too, for example NetBSD, check
here: http://www.daemon-systems.org/man/preadv.2.html
The application-visible interface provided by glibc should look like
this to be compatible to the existing implementations in the *BSD family:
ssize_t preadv(int d, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt, off_t offset);
ssize_t pwritev(int d, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt, off_t offset);
This prototype has one problem though: On 32bit archs is the (64bit)
offset argument unaligned, which the syscall ABI of several archs doesn't
allow to do. At least s390 needs a wrapper in glibc to handle this. As
we'll need a wrappers in glibc anyway I've decided to push problem to
glibc entriely and use a syscall prototype which works without
arch-specific wrappers inside the kernel: The offset argument is
explicitly splitted into two 32bit values.
The patch sports the actual system call implementation and the windup in
the x86 system call tables. Other archs follow as separate patches.

Sometimes block_write_begin() can map buffers in a page but later we
fail to copy data into those buffers (because the source page has been
paged out in the mean time). We then end up with !uptodate mapped
buffers. To add a bit more to the confusion, block_write_end() does
not commit any data (and thus does not any mark buffers as uptodate) if
we didn't succeed with copying all the data.
Commit f4fc66a894 (ext3: convert to new
aops) missed these cases and thus we were inserting non-uptodate
buffers to transaction's list which confuses JBD code and it reports IO
errors, aborts a transaction and generally makes users afraid about
their data ;-P.
This patch fixes the problem by reorganizing ext3_..._write_end() code
to first call block_write_end() to mark buffers with valid data
uptodate and after that we file only uptodate buffers to transaction's
lists.
We also fix a problem where we could leave blocks allocated beyond i_size
(i_disksize in fact) because of failed write. We now add inode to orphan
list when write fails (to be safe in case we crash) and then truncate blocks
beyond i_size in a separate transaction.

ext3_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to
report errors to NFS properly. However, in ext[234]_lookup(), this
-ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such
that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to a
misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the
part of the admin.
The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a
link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls
-l said link.
This patch thus changes ext3_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE
from ext3_iget(), as ext3 does for other filesystem metadata corruption;
and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is
detected.

The dirtied_when value on an inode is supposed to represent the first time
that an inode has one of its pages dirtied. This value is in units of
jiffies. It's used in several places in the writeback code to determine
when to write out an inode.
The problem is that these checks assume that dirtied_when is updated
periodically. If an inode is continuously being used for I/O it can be
persistently marked as dirty and will continue to age. Once the time
compared to is greater than or equal to half the maximum of the jiffies
type, the logic of the time_*() macros inverts and the opposite of what is
needed is returned. On 32-bit architectures that's just under 25 days
(assuming HZ == 1000).
As the least-recently dirtied inode, it'll end up being the first one that
pdflush will try to write out. sync_sb_inodes does this check:
/* Was this inode dirtied after sync_sb_inodes was called? */
if (time_after(inode->dirtied_when, start))
break;
...but now dirtied_when appears to be in the future. sync_sb_inodes bails
out without attempting to write any dirty inodes. When this occurs,
pdflush will stop writing out inodes for this superblock. Nothing can
unwedge it until jiffies moves out of the problematic window.
This patch fixes this problem by changing the checks against dirtied_when
to also check whether it appears to be in the future. If it does, then we
consider the value to be far in the past.
This should shrink the problematic window of time to such a small period
(30s) as not to matter.

clear_inode() will switch inode state from I_FREEING to I_CLEAR, and do so
_outside_ of inode_lock. So any I_FREEING testing is incomplete without a
coupled testing of I_CLEAR.
So add I_CLEAR tests to drop_pagecache_sb(), generic_sync_sb_inodes() and
add_dquot_ref().

A deadlock can occur when user space uses a signal (autofs version 4 uses
SIGCHLD for this) to effect expire completion.
The order of events is:
Expire process completes, but before being able to send SIGCHLD to it's parent
...
Another process walks onto a different mount point and drops the directory
inode semaphore prior to sending the request to the daemon as it must ...
A third process does an lstat on on the expired mount point causing it to wait
on expire completion (unfortunately) holding the directory semaphore.
The mount request then arrives at the daemon which does an lstat and,
deadlock.
For some time I was concerned about releasing the directory semaphore around
the expire wait in autofs4_lookup as well as for the mount call back. I
finally realized that the last round of changes in this function made the
expiring dentry and the lookup dentry separate and distinct so the check and
possible wait can be done anywhere prior to the mount call back. This patch
moves the check to just before the mount call back and inside the directory
inode mutex release.

That is, counter-based resource access. Where a "wait()" returns
immediately by decrementing the counter by one, if counter is greater than
zero. Otherwise will wait. And where a "post(count)" will add count to
the counter releasing the appropriate amount of waiters. If eventfd the
"post" (write) part is fine, while the "wait" (read) does not dequeue 1,
but the whole counter value.
The problem with eventfd is that a read() on the fd returns and wipes the
whole counter, making the use of it as semaphore a little bit more
cumbersome. You can do a read() followed by a write() of COUNTER-1, but
IMO it's pretty easy and cheap to make this work w/out extra steps. This
patch introduces a new eventfd flag that tells eventfd to only dequeue 1
from the counter, allowing simple read/write to make it behave like a
semaphore. Simple test here:
http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-sem.c
To be back-compatible with earlier kernels, userspace applications should
probe for the availability of this feature via
#ifdef EFD_SEMAPHORE
fd = eventfd2 (CNT, EFD_SEMAPHORE);
if (fd == -1 && errno == EINVAL)
<fallback>
#else
<fallback>
#endif

eventpoll.c uses void * in one place for no obvious reason; change it to
use the real type instead.

ep_modify() doesn't need to set event.data from within the ep->lock
spinlock as the comment suggests. The only place event.data is used is
ep_send_events_proc(), and this is protected by ep->mtx instead of
ep->lock. Also update the comment for mutex_lock() at the top of
ep_scan_ready_list(), which mentions epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL) but not
epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_MOD).
ep_modify() can also use spin_lock_irq() instead of spin_lock_irqsave().

xchg in ep_unregister_pollwait() is unnecessary because it is protected by
either epmutex or ep->mtx (the same protection as ep_remove()).
If xchg was necessary, it would be insufficient to protect against
problems: if multiple concurrent calls to ep_unregister_pollwait() were
possible then a second caller that returns without doing anything because
nwait == 0 could return before the waitqueues are removed by the first
caller, which looks like it could lead to problematic races with
ep_poll_callback().
So remove xchg and add comments about the locking.

If epoll_wait returns -EFAULT, the event that was being returned when the
fault was encountered will be forgotten. This is not a big deal since
EFAULT will happen only if a buggy userspace program passes in a bad
address, in which case what happens later usually doesn't matter.
However, it is easy to remember the event for later, and this patch makes
a simple change to do that.
