a) ERR_PTR(nfserr_something) is a bad idea;
IS_ERR() will be false for it.
b) mixing nfserr_.... with -EOPNOTSUPP is
even worse idea.
nfsd4_path() does both; caller expects to get NFS protocol error out it if
anything goes wrong, but if it does we either do not notice (see (a)) or get
host-endian negative (see (b)).
IOW, that's a case when we can't use ERR_PTR() to return error, even though we

If invalidate_inode_pages2() fails, then it should in principle just be
because the current process was signalled. In that case, we just want to
ensure that the inode's page cache remains marked as invalid.
Also add a helper to allow the O_DIRECT code to simply mark the page cache as
invalid once it is finished writing, instead of calling

- nfs_inode_remove_request will call nfs_clear_request, so we cannot
reference req->wb_page after it. Move the call to dec_zone_page_state so
that it occurs while req->wb_page is still valid.
- Calling nfs_clear_page_writeback is unnecessary since the radix tree

I wrote a patch to avoid redundant memory hot-add call at boot time. This
was cause of strange fail message of memory hotplug like "ACPI: add_memory
failed". Memory is recognized by early boot code with EFI/E820.
But, if DSDT describes memory devices for them, then hot-add code is called
for already recognized memory, and it shows fail messages with -EEXIST.
So, sys admin will misunderstand this message as something wrong by it.
This patch avoids them by preventing redundant hot-add call until
completion of driver initialization.

This patch breaks C-state discovery on my IBM IntelliStation Z30 because
the return value of acpi_processor_get_power_info_fadt is not assigned to
"result" in the case that acpi_processor_get_power_info_cst returns
-ENODEV. Thus, if ACPI provides C-state data via the FADT and not _CST (as
is the case on this machine), we incorrectly exit the function with -ENODEV
after reading the FADT. The attached patch sets the value of result so
that we don't exit early.

Freeing the stack is left uselessly to the caller of run_helper in some cases
- this is taken from run_helper_thread, but here it is useless, so no caller
needs it and the only place where this happens has a potential leak - in case
of error neither run_helper() nor xterm_open() call free_stack(). At this
point passing a pointer is not needed - the stack pointer should be passed
directly, but this change is not done here.

This should make sure that, for UML, host's configuration files are not
considered, which avoids various pains to the user. Our dependency are such
that the obtained Kconfig will be valid and will lead to successful
compilation - however they cannot prevent an user from disabling any boot
device, and if an option is not set in the read .config (say
/boot/config-XXX), with make menuconfig ARCH=um, it is not set. This always
disables UBD and all console I/O channels, which leads to non-working UML
kernels, so this bothers users - especially now, since it will happen on
almost every machine (/boot/config-`uname -r` exists almost on every machine).
It can be workarounded with make defconfig ARCH=um, but it is non-obvious and
can be avoided, so please _do_ merge this patch.
Given the existence of options, it could be interesting to implement
(additionally) "option required" - with it, Kconfig will refuse reading a
.config file (from wherever it comes) if the given option is not set. With
this, one could mark with it the option characteristic of the given
architecture (it was an old proposal of Roman Zippel, when I pointed out our
problem):
config UML
option required
default y
However this should be further discussed:
*) for x86, it must support constructs like:
==arch/i386/Kconfig==
config 64BIT
option required
default n
where Kconfig must require that CONFIG_64BIT is disabled or not present in the
read .config.
*) do we want to do such checks only for the starting defconfig or also for
.config? Which leads to:
*) I may want to port a x86_64 .config to x86 and viceversa, or even among more
different archs. Should that be allowed, and in which measure (the user may
force skipping the check for a .config or it is only given a warning by
default)?

When direct-io falls back to buffered write, it will just leave the dirty data

But normal direct-io semantics are that IO is synchronous, and that it leaves

So change the fallback-to-buffered-write code to sync the file region and to
then strip away the pagecache, just as a regular direct-io write would do.
