  • 96de0e252   Convert files to UTF-8 and some cleanups ... Browse Code »

    * Convert files to UTF-8.

    * Also correct some people's names
    (one example is Eißfeldt, which was found in a source file.
    Given that the author used an ß at all in a source file
    indicates that the real name has in fact a 'ß' and not an 'ss',
    which is commonly used as a substitute for 'ß' when limited to
    7bit.)

    * Correct town names (Goettingen -> Göttingen)

    * Update Eberhard Mönkeberg's address (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/8/313)

    Otherwise, we do end up breaking close-to-open semantics. We also end up
    breaking some of the silly-rename tests in Connectathon on some setups.

  • 565277f63   NFS: Fix a race in sillyrename ... Browse Code »

    lookup() and sillyrename() can race one another because the sillyrename()
    completion cannot take the parent directory's inode->i_mutex since the
    latter may be held by whoever is calling dput().

    We therefore have little option but to add extra locking to ensure that
    nfs_lookup() and nfs_atomic_open() do not race with the sillyrename
    completion.
    If somebody has looked up the sillyrenamed file in the meantime, we just
    transfer the sillydelete information to the new dentry.

    Please refer to the bug-report at
    http://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150

  • 61e930a90   NFS: Fix a writeback race... ... Browse Code »

    This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by commit
    44dd151d5c21234cc534c47d7382f5c28c3143cd

    We cannot zero the user page in nfs_mark_uptodate() any more, since

    a) We'd be modifying the page without holding the page lock
    b) We can race with other updates of the page, most notably
    because of the call to nfs_wb_page() in nfs_writepage_setup().

    Instead, we do the zeroing in nfs_update_request() if we see that we're
    creating a request that might potentially be marked as up to date.

    Thanks to Olivier Paquet for reporting the bug and providing a test-case.

  • 4ba9b9d0b   Slab API: remove useless ctor parameter and reorder parameters ... Browse Code »

    Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used. And
    the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions. The object
    pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.

    Convert

    ctor(void *object, struct kmem_cache *s, unsigned long flags)

    to

    ctor(struct kmem_cache *s, void *object)

    throughout the kernel

  • c4dc4beed   nfs: remove congestion_end() ... Browse Code »

    These patches aim to improve balance_dirty_pages() and directly address three
    issues:
    1) inter device starvation
    2) stacked device deadlocks
    3) inter process starvation

    1 and 2 are a direct result from removing the global dirty limit and using
    per device dirty limits. By giving each device its own dirty limit is will
    no longer starve another device, and the cyclic dependancy on the dirty limit
    is broken.

    In order to efficiently distribute the dirty limit across the independant
    devices a floating proportion is used, this will allocate a share of the total
    limit proportional to the device's recent activity.

    3 is done by also scaling the dirty limit proportional to the current task's
    recent dirty rate.

    This patch:

    nfs: remove congestion_end(). It's redundant, clear_bdi_congested() already
    wakes the waiters.
