* md: fix possible oops when removing a bitmap from an active arrayNeilBrown2008-05-241-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible to add a write-intent bitmap to an active array, or remove the bitmap that is there. When we do with the 'quiesce' the array, which causes make_request to block in "wait_barrier()". However we are sampling the value of "mddev->bitmap" before the wait_barrier call, and using it afterwards. This can result in using a bitmap structure that has been freed.

* fuse: fix bdi naming conflictMiklos Szeredi2008-05-242-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fuse allocates a separate bdi for each filesystem, and registers them in sysfs with "MAJOR:MINOR" of sb->s_dev (st_dev). This works fine for anon devices normally used by fuse, but can conflict with an already registered BDI for "fuseblk" filesystems, where sb->s_dev represents a real block device. In particularl this happens if a non-partitioned device is being mounted. Fix by registering with a different name for "fuseblk" filesystems. Thanks to Ioan Ionita for the bug report.

| * IPoIB: Test for NULL broadcast object in ipiob_mcast_join_finish()Jack Morgenstein2008-05-201-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We saw a kernel oops in our regression testing when a multicast "join finish" occurred just after the interface was -- this is <https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1040>. The test randomly causes the HCA physical port to go down then up. The cause of this is that ipoib_mcast_join_finish() processing happen just after ipoib_mcast_dev_flush() was invoked (in which case the broadcast pointer is NULL). This patch tests for and handles the case where priv->broadcast is NULL.

| * IB/mlx4: Fix creation of kernel QP with max number of send s/g entriesRoland Dreier2008-05-201-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When creating a kernel QP where the consumer asked for a send queue with lots of scatter/gater entries, set_kernel_sq_size() incorrectly returned an error if the send queue stride is larger than the hardware's maximum send work request descriptor size. This is not a problem; the only issue is to make sure that the actual descriptors used do not overflow the maximum descriptor size, so check this instead. Clamp the returned max_send_sge value to be no bigger than what query_device returns for the max_sge to avoid confusing hapless users, even if the hardware is capable of handling a few more s/g entries. This bug caused NFS/RDMA mounts to fail when the server adapter used the mlx4 driver. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
| * IB/mthca: Fix max_sge value returned by query_deviceRoland Dreier2008-05-161-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The mthca driver returns the maximum number of scatter/gather entries returned by the firmware as the max_sge value when device properties are queried. However, the firmware also reports a limit on the maximum descriptor size allowed, and because mthca takes into account the worst case send request overhead when checking whether to allow a QP to be created, the largest number of scatter/gather entries that can be used with mthca may be limited by the maximum descriptor size rather than just by the actual s/g entry limit. This means that applications cannot actually create QPs with max_send_sge equal to the limit returned by ib_query_device(). Fix this by checking if the maximum descriptor size imposes a lower limit and if so returning that lower limit. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>

This misses inode size updates when the data flushed by the fsync() is extending the file. Hence, like fdatasync(), we need to wait for I/o completion first, then check the inode for cleanliness. Doing so makes the behaviour of xfs_fsync() identical for fsync and fdatasync and we *always* use synchronous semantics if the inode is dirty. Therefore also kill the differences and remove the unused flags from the xfs_fsync function and callers.

I could also reproduce the problem on a 4 way z/VM host with a 64 way guest. It turned out that the guest was consuming all available cpus mostly for spinning on scheduler locks like rq->lock. This is expected as the threads are calling yield all the time. The problem is now, that the host scheduling decisings together with the guest scheduling decisions and spinlocks not being fair managed to create an interesting scenario similar to a live lock. (Sometimes the hang resolved itself after some minutes) Changing stop_machine to yield the cpu to the hypervisor when yielding inside the guest fixed the problem for me. While I am not completely happy with this patch, I think it causes no harm and it really improves the situation for me. I used cpu_relax for yielding to the hypervisor, does that work on all architectures? p.s.: If you want to reproduce the problem, cpu hotplug and kprobes use stop_machine_run and both triggered the problem after some retries.
