This avoids the whole #ifdef mess by just getting a copy of
dentry->d_inode before d_delete is called - that makes the codepaths the
same for the INOTIFY/DNOTIFY cases as for the regular no-notify case.
I've been running this under a Gnome session for the last 10 minutes.
Inotify is being used extensively.

Some PCI devices (e.g. 3c905B, 3c556B) lose all configuration
(including BARs) when transitioning from D3hot->D0. This leaves such
a device in an inaccessible state. The patch below causes the BARs
to be restored when enabling such a device, so that its driver will
be able to access it.
The patch also adds pci_restore_bars as a new global symbol, and adds a
correpsonding EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for that.
Some firmware (e.g. Thinkpad T21) leaves devices in D3hot after a
(re)boot. Most drivers call pci_enable_device very early, so devices
left in D3hot that lose configuration during the D3hot->D0 transition
will be inaccessible to their drivers.
Drivers could be modified to account for this, but it would
be difficult to know which drivers need modification. This is
especially true since often many devices are covered by the same
driver. It likely would be necessary to replicate code across dozens
of drivers.
The patch below should trigger only when transitioning from D3hot->D0
(or at boot), and only for devices that have the "no soft reset" bit
cleared in the PM control register. I believe it is safe to include
this patch as part of the PCI infrastructure.
The cleanest implementation of pci_restore_bars was to call
pci_update_resource. Unfortunately, that does not currently exist
for the sparc64 architecture. The patch below includes a null
implemenation of pci_update_resource for sparc64.
Some have expressed interest in making general use of the the
pci_restore_bars function, so that has been exported to GPL licensed
modules.

Checking pte_dirty instead of pte_write in __follow_page is problematic
for s390, and for copy_one_pte which leaves dirty when clearing write.
So revert __follow_page to check pte_write as before, and make
do_wp_page pass back a special extra VM_FAULT_WRITE bit to say it has
done its full job: once get_user_pages receives this value, it no longer
requires pte_write in __follow_page.
But most callers of handle_mm_fault, in the various architectures, have
switch statements which do not expect this new case. To avoid changing
them all in a hurry, make an inline wrapper function (using the old
name) that masks off the new bit, and use the extended interface with
double underscores.
Yes, we do have a call to do_wp_page from do_swap_page, but no need to
change that: in rare case it's needed, another do_wp_page will follow.

It may shut up gcc, but it also incorrectly changes the semantics of the
smp_call_function() helpers.
You can fix the warning other ways if you are interested (create another
inline function that takes no arguments and returns zero), but
preferably gcc just shouldn't complain about unused return values from
statement expressions in the first place.

Apparently gcc 4.0 complains about "({ 0; });", which leads to -Werror
breakage in one of the alpha oprofile modules.
One might could argue that this is a gcc bug, in that statement-expressions
should be considered to be function-like rather than statement-like for the
purposes of this warning. But it's just as easy to use an inline function
in the first place, side-stepping the issue.

I believe that there is a problem with the handling of POSIX locks, which
the attached patch should address.
The problem appears to be a race between fcntl(2) and close(2). A
multithreaded application could close a file descriptor at the same time as
it is trying to acquire a lock using the same file descriptor. I would
suggest that that multithreaded application is not providing the proper
synchronization for itself, but the OS should still behave correctly.
SUS3 (Single UNIX Specification Version 3, read: POSIX) indicates that when
a file descriptor is closed, that all POSIX locks on the file, owned by the
process which closed the file descriptor, should be released.
The trick here is when those locks are released. The current code releases
all locks which exist when close is processing, but any locks in progress
are handled when the last reference to the open file is released.
There are three cases to consider.
One is the simple case, a multithreaded (mt) process has a file open and
races to close it and acquire a lock on it. In this case, the close will
release one reference to the open file and when the fcntl is done, it will
release the other reference. For this situation, no locks should exist on
the file when both the close and fcntl operations are done. The current
system will handle this case because the last reference to the open file is
being released.
The second case is when the mt process has dup(2)'d the file descriptor.
The close will release one reference to the file and the fcntl, when done,
will release another, but there will still be at least one more reference
to the open file. One could argue that the existence of a lock on the file
after the close has completed is okay, because it was acquired after the
close operation and there is still a way for the application to release the
lock on the file, using an existing file descriptor.
The third case is when the mt process has forked, after opening the file
and either before or after becoming an mt process. In this case, each
process would hold a reference to the open file. For each process, this
degenerates to first case above. However, the lock continues to exist
until both processes have released their references to the open file. This
lock could block other lock requests.
The changes to release the lock when the last reference to the open file
aren't quite right because they would allow the lock to exist as long as
there was a reference to the open file. This is too long.
The new proposed solution is to add support in the fcntl code path to
detect a race with close and then to release the lock which was just
acquired when such as race is detected. This causes locks to be released
in a timely fashion and for the system to conform to the POSIX semantic
specification.
This was tested by instrumenting a kernel to detect the handling locks and
then running a program which generates case #3 above. A dangling lock
could be reliably generated. When the changes to detect the close/fcntl
race were added, a dangling lock could no longer be generated.

Split spin lock and r/w lock implementation into a single try which is done
inline and an out of line function that repeatedly tries to get the lock
before doing the cpu_relax(). Add a system control to set the number of
retries before a cpu is yielded.
The reason for the spin lock retry is that the diagnose 0x44 that is used to
give up the virtual cpu is quite expensive. For spin locks that are held only
for a short period of time the costs of the diagnoses outweights the savings
for spin locks that are held for a longer timer. The default retry count is
1000.

This patch adds support for the Olitec ISDN PCI card in the hisax gazel
driver. The gazel driver supports this card, but wasn't aware of its PCI
ids. Users used to modify the PCI ids of a supported card in
include/linux/pci_ids.h and recompile their kernel to get this card
running, as said in most Howtos. This patch makes the hisax gazel driver
recognize the PCI ids of the Olitec ISDN PCI card.

When the kernel is working well and we want to restart cleanly
kernel_restart is the function to use. But in many instances
the kernel wants to reboot when thing are expected to be working
very badly such as from panic or a software watchdog handler.
This patch adds the function emergency_restart() so that
callers can be clear what semantics they expect when calling
restart. emergency_restart() is expected to be callable
from interrupt context and possibly reliable in even more
trying circumstances.
This is an initial generic implementation for all architectures.

If a connection tracking helper tells us to expect a connection, and
we're already expecting that connection, we simply free the one they
gave us and return success.
The problem is that NAT helpers (eg. FTP) have to allocate the
expectation first (to see what port is available) then rewrite the
packet. If that rewrite fails, they try to remove the expectation,
but it was freed in ip_conntrack_expect_related.
This is one example of a larger problem: having registered the
expectation, the pointer is no longer ours to use. Reference counting
is needed for ctnetlink anyway, so introduce it now.
To have a single "put" path, we need to grab the reference to the
connection on creation, rather than open-coding it in the caller.

these two defines have always been 6 and 7 instead of 4 and 5. All 64 bit
applications therefore use the "wrong" values. To get these applications
working without recompiling the kernel needs to accept the "wrong" values.
Since the values for s390-31 are 4 and 5 the compat wrapper for fadvise64
and fadvise64_64 need to rewrite the values for 31 bit system calls.

Something has changed in the core kernel such that we now get concurrent
inode write outs, one e.g via pdflush and one via sys_sync or whatever.
This causes a nasty deadlock in ntfs. The only clean solution
unfortunately requires a minor vfs api extension.
First the deadlock analysis:
Prerequisive knowledge: NTFS has a file $MFT (inode 0) loaded at mount
time. The NTFS driver uses the page cache for storing the file contents as
usual. More interestingly this file contains the table of on-disk inodes
as a sequence of MFT_RECORDs. Thus NTFS driver accesses the on-disk inodes
by accessing the MFT_RECORDs in the page cache pages of the loaded inode
$MFT.
The situation: VFS inode X on a mounted ntfs volume is dirty. For same
inode X, the ntfs_inode is dirty and thus corresponding on-disk inode,
which is as explained above in a dirty PAGE_CACHE_PAGE belonging to the
table of inodes ($MFT, inode 0).
What happens:
Process 1: sys_sync()/umount()/whatever... calls __sync_single_inode() for
$MFT -> do_writepages() -> write_page for the dirty page containing the
on-disk inode X, the page is now locked -> ntfs_write_mst_block() which
clears PageUptodate() on the page to prevent anyone else getting hold of it
whilst it does the write out (this is necessary as the on-disk inode needs
"fixups" applied before the write to disk which are removed again after the
write and PageUptodate is then set again). It then analyses the page
looking for dirty on-disk inodes and when it finds one it calls
ntfs_may_write_mft_record() to see if it is safe to write this on-disk
inode. This then calls ilookup5() to check if the corresponding VFS inode
is in icache(). This in turn calls ifind() which waits on the inode lock
via wait_on_inode whilst holding the global inode_lock.
Process 2: pdflush results in a call to __sync_single_inode for the same
VFS inode X on the ntfs volume. This locks the inode (I_LOCK) then calls
write-inode -> ntfs_write_inode -> map_mft_record() -> read_cache_page() of
the page (in page cache of table of inodes $MFT, inode 0) containing the
on-disk inode. This page has PageUptodate() clear because of Process 1
(see above) so read_cache_page() blocks when tries to take the page lock
for the page so it can call ntfs_read_page().
Thus Process 1 is holding the page lock on the page containing the on-disk
inode X and it is waiting on the inode X to be unlocked in ifind() so it
can write the page out and then unlock the page.
And Process 2 is holding the inode lock on inode X and is waiting for the
page to be unlocked so it can call ntfs_readpage() or discover that
Process 1 set PageUptodate() again and use the page.
Thus we have a deadlock due to ifind() waiting on the inode lock.
The only sensible solution: NTFS does not care whether the VFS inode is
locked or not when it calls ilookup5() (it doesn't use the VFS inode at
all, it just uses it to find the corresponding ntfs_inode which is of
course attached to the VFS inode (both are one single struct); and it uses
the ntfs_inode which is subject to its own locking so I_LOCK is irrelevant)
hence we want a modified ilookup5_nowait() which is the same as ilookup5()
but it does not wait on the inode lock.
Without such functionality I would have to keep my own ntfs_inode cache in
the NTFS driver just so I can find ntfs_inodes independent of their VFS
inodes which would be slow, memory and cpu cycle wasting, and incredibly
stupid given the icache already exists in the VFS.
Below is a patch that does the ilookup5_nowait() implementation in
fs/inode.c and exports it.
ilookup5_nowait.diff:
Introduce ilookup5_nowait() which is basically the same as ilookup5() but
it does not wait on the inode's lock (i.e. it omits the wait_on_inode()
done in ifind()).
This is needed to avoid a nasty deadlock in NTFS.

This moves the inotify sysctl knobs to "/proc/sys/fs/inotify" from
"/proc/sys/fs". Also some related cleanup.

inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:
* dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
* dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
stat structures.
* dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals?
inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
notification:
* inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
* inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
you were watching is on was unmounted."
* inotify can watch directories or files.
Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.

This was a pure indentation change, using:
scripts/Lindent fs/reiserfs/*.c include/linux/reiserfs_*.h
to make reiserfs match the regular Linux indentation style. As Jeff
Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> writes:
The ReiserFS code is a mix of a number of different coding styles, sometimes
different even from line-to-line. Since the code has been relatively stable
for quite some time and there are few outstanding patches to be applied, it
is time to reformat the code to conform to the Linux style standard outlined
in Documentation/CodingStyle.
This patch contains the result of running scripts/Lindent against
fs/reiserfs/*.c and include/linux/reiserfs_*.h. There are places where the
code can be made to look better, but I'd rather keep those patches separate
so that there isn't a subtle by-hand hand accident in the middle of a huge
patch. To be clear: This patch is reformatting *only*.
A number of patches may follow that continue to make the code more consistent
with the Linux coding style.
Hans wasn't particularly enthusiastic about these patches, but said he
wouldn't really oppose them either.
