All the ACL routines are called from inode operations which are guaranteed
to have a referenced inode by the VFS, so there's no need for the ACL code
to grab another temporary one.

Move it from the attr code to the transaction code and make

We rolltrans is really usefull whenever we want to use rolling
transaction, should be generic, it isn't dependent on any part
of the attr code anyway.
We use this excuse to change all the:

calls into:
error = xfs_trans_roll();

If we allow incore extent tree allocations to recurse into the
filesystem under memory pressure, new delayed allocations through
xfs_iomap_write_delay() can deadlock on themselves if memory
reclaim tries to write back dirty pages from that inode.
It will deadlock in xfs_iomap_write_allocate() trying to take the
ilock we already hold. This can also show up as complex ABBA deadlocks
when multiple threads are triggering memory reclaim when trying to
allocate extents.
The main cause of this is the fact that delayed allocation is not done in
a transaction, so KM_NOFS is not automatically added to the allocations to
prevent this recursion.
Mark all allocations done for the incore inode extent tree as KM_NOFS to
ensure they never recurse back into the filesystem.
Version 2: o KM_NOFS implies KM_SLEEP, so just use KM_NOFS

In several places we directly convert from the XFS inode
to the linux (VFS) inode by a simple deference of ip->i_vnode.
We should not do this - a helper function should be used to
extract the VFS inode from the XFS inode.
Introduce the function VFS_I() to extract the VFS inode
from the XFS inode. The name was chosen to match XFS_I() which
is used to extract the XFS inode from the VFS inode.

The attached patch seems to already exist in a number of branches -- it
keeps popping up on Google for me, and is certainly already in Debian --
but is strangely absent from mainstream.
The problem appears to be that the patched file ends up as part of the
target toolchain, but unfortunately the gcc constant folding doesn't
appear to eliminate the __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC value early
enough. Certainly compiling C++ programs which use _IO... macros as
constants fails without this patch.

Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot
since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in
text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them. This needs to
be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code
instead of bad examples.
Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir.
Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol.
Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the
Documentation/ sources. Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system.
However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need
to be installed (for userspace builds).

representation of cpumask becase 1152, but cat(1) continued to read with

Fix it by switching to seq_file, so handler will just fill buffer and

Some chips appear to have the 2D engine hang during screen redraw,
typically in a sequence of copyarea operations. This appear to be
solved by adding a flush of the engine destination pixel cache
and waiting for the engine to be idle before issuing the accel
operation. The performance impact seems to be fairly small.
Here is a trace on an RV370 (PCI device ID 0x5b64), it records the
RBBM_STATUS register, then the source x/y, destination x/y, and
width/height used for the copy:
----------------------------------------

radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[8002611b] src[248:80] dst[248:70] wh[68:10]
----------------------------------------
When things are going fine the copies complete before the next ROP is
even issued, but all of a sudden the 2D unit becomes active (bit 17 in
RBBM_STATUS) and the FIFO retry (bit 13) and FIFO pipeline busy (bit
14) are set as well. The FIFO begins to backup until it becomes full.
What happens next is the radeon_fifo_wait() times out, and we access
the chip illegally leading to a bus error which usually wedges the
box. None of this makes it to the console screen, of course :-)
radeon_fifo_wait() should be modified to reset the accelerator when
this timeout happens instead of programming the chip anyways.

Ker:xnel panic - not syncing: Irrecoverable deferred error trap.
----------------------------------------
Another quirk is that these copyarea calls will not happen until the
first drivers/char/vt.c:redraw_screen() occurs. This will only happen
if you 1) VC switch or 2) run "consolechars" or 3) unblank the screen.
This seems to happen because until a redraw_screen() the screen scrolling
method used by fbcon is not finalized yet. I've seen this with other fb
drivers too.
So if all you do is boot straight into X you will never see this bug on
the relevant chips.

[Andrew this should replace the previous version which did not check
the returns from the region prepare for errors. This has been tested by
us and Gerald and it looks good.
Bah, while reviewing the locking based on your previous email I spotted
that we need to check the return from the vma_needs_reservation call for
allocation errors. Here is an updated patch to correct this. This passes
testing here.]

In the normal case, hugetlbfs reserves hugepages at map time so that the
pages exist for future faults. A struct file_region is used to track when
reservations have been consumed and where. These file_regions are
allocated as necessary with kmalloc() which can sleep with the
mm->page_table_lock held. This is wrong and triggers may-sleep warning
when PREEMPT is enabled.
Updates to the underlying file_region are done in two phases. The first
phase prepares the region for the change, allocating any necessary memory,
without actually making the change. The second phase actually commits the
change. This patch makes use of this by checking the reservations before
the page_table_lock is taken; triggering any necessary allocations. This
may then be safely repeated within the locks without any allocations being
required.
Credit to Mel Gorman for diagnosing this failure and initial versions of
the patch.
