If 2 threads attached to the same process are blocking on different locks on
different files (maybe even on different servers) but have the same lock
arguments (i.e. same offset+length - actually quite common, since most
processes try to lock the entire file) then the first GRANTED call that wakes
one up will also wake the other.
Currently when the NLM_GRANTED callback comes in, lockd walks the list of
blocked locks in search of a match to the lock that the NLM server has
granted. Although it checks the lock pid, start and end, it fails to check
the filehandle and the server address.
By checking the filehandle and server IP address, we ensure that this only
happens if the locks truly are referencing the same file.

[PATCH] jbd: split checkpoint lists
This broke journal_flush() for OCFS2, which is its method of being sure
that metadata is sent to disk for another node.
And two related commits 8d3c7fce2d and
43c3e6f5ab with the subjects:
[PATCH] jbd: log_do_checkpoint fix
[PATCH] jbd: remove_transaction fix
These seem to be incremental bugfixes on the original patch and as such are

With David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
select() presently has a habit of increasing the value of the user's
`timeout' argument on return.
We were writing back a timeout larger than the original. We _deliberately_
round up, since we know we must wait at _least_ as long as the caller asks
us to.
The patch adds a couple of helper functions for magnitude comparison of
timespecs and of timevals, and uses them to prevent the various poll and
select functions from returning a timeout which is larger than the one which
was passed in.
The patch also fixes a bug in compat_sys_pselect7(): it was adding the new
timeout value to the old one and was returning that. It should just return
the new timeout value.
(We have various handy timespec/timeval-to-from-nsec conversion functions in
time.h. But this code open-codes it all).

The *at patches introduced fstatat and, due to inusfficient research, I
used the newfstat functions generally as the guideline. The result is that
on 32-bit platforms we don't have all the information needed to implement
fstatat64.
This patch modifies the code to pass up 64-bit information if
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 is defined. I renamed the syscall entry point to make
this clear. Other archs will continue to use the existing code. On x86-64
the compat code is implemented using a new sys32_ function. this is what
is done for the other stat syscalls as well.
This patch might break some other archs (those which define
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 and which already wired up the syscall). Yet others
might need changes to accomodate the compatibility mode. I really don't
want to do that work because all this stat handling is a mess (more so in
glibc, but the kernel is also affected). It should be done by the arch
maintainers. I'll provide some stand-alone test shortly. Those who are
eager could compile glibc and run 'make check' (no installation needed).
The patch below has been tested on x86 and x86-64.

When walking a path, the LOOKUP_CONTINUE flag is used by some filesystems
(for instance NFS) in order to determine whether or not it is looking up
the last component of the path. It this is the case, it may have to look
at the intent information in order to perform various tasks such as atomic
open.
A problem currently occurs when link_path_walk() hits a symlink. In this
case LOOKUP_CONTINUE may be cleared prematurely when we hit the end of the
path passed by __vfs_follow_link() (i.e. the end of the symlink path)
rather than when we hit the end of the path passed by the user.
The solution is to have link_path_walk() clear LOOKUP_CONTINUE if and only
if that flag was unset when we entered the function.

Ben points out that:
When writing files out using O_SYNC, jbd's 1 jiffy delay results in a
significant drop in throughput as the disk sits idle. The patch below
results in a 4-5x performance improvement (from 6.5MB/s to ~24-30MB/s on my
IDE test box) when writing out files using O_SYNC.
So optimise the batching code by omitting it entirely if the process which is
doing a sync write is the same as the one which did the most recent sync
write. If that's true, we're unlikely to get any other processes joining the
transaction.
(Has been in -mm for ages - it took me a long time to get on to performance
testing it)
Numbers, on write-cache-disabled IDE:
/usr/bin/time -p synctest -n 10 -uf -t 1 -p 1 dir-name
Unpatched:
40 seconds
Patched:
35 seconds
Batching disabled:
35 seconds
This is the problematic single-process-doing-fsync case. With multiple
fsyncing processes the numbers are AFACIT unaltered by the patch.
Aside: performance testing and instrumentation shows that the transaction
batching almost doesn't help (testing with synctest -n 1 -uf -t 100 -p 10
dir-name on non-writeback-caching IDE). This is because by the time one
process is running a synchronous commit, a bunch of other processes already
have a transaction handle open, so they're all going to batch into the same
transaction anyway.
The batching seems to offer maybe 5-10% speedup with this workload, but I'm
pretty sure it was more important than that when it was first developed 4-odd
years ago...

percpu_data blindly allocates bootmem memory to store NR_CPUS instances of

As a preparation for changing that, we need to convert various 0 -> NR_CPUS

(The above only applies to users of asm-generic/percpu.h. powerpc has gone it
alone and is presently only allocating memory for present CPUs, so it's

Currently, if you open a file O_DIRECT, truncate it to a size that is not a
multiple of the disk block size, and then try to read the last block in the
file, the read will return 0. The problem is in do_direct_IO, here:
/* Handle holes */
if (!buffer_mapped(map_bh)) {
char *kaddr;
...
if (dio->block_in_file >=
i_size_read(dio->inode)>>blkbits) {
/* We hit eof */
page_cache_release(page);
goto out;
}
We shift off any remaining bytes in the final block of the I/O, resulting
in a 0-sized read. I've attached a patch that fixes this. I'm not happy
about how ugly the math is getting, so suggestions are more than welcome.
I've tested this with a simple program that performs the steps outlined for
reproducing the problem above. Without the patch, we get a 0-sized result
from read. With the patch, we get the correct return value from the short
read.
