The problem is that close() syscalls can call a file system's flush
handler, which in turn might sleep interruptibly and ultimately pass back
an -ERESTARTSYS return value. This happens for files backed by an
interruptible NFS mount under nfs_file_flush() when a large file has just
been written and nfs_wait_bit_interruptible() detects that there is a
signal pending.
I have a test case where the "strace" command is used to attach to a
process sleeping in such a close(). Since the SIGSTOP is forced onto the
victim process (removing it from the thread's "blocked" mask in
force_sig_info()), the RPC wait is interrupted and the close() is
terminated early.
But the file table entry has already been cleared before the flush handler
was called. Thus, when the syscall is restarted, the file descriptor
appears closed and an EBADF error is returned (which is wrong). What's
worse, there is the hypothetical case where another thread of a
multi-threaded application might have reused the file descriptor, in which
case that file would be mistakenly closed.
The bottom line is that close() syscalls are not restartable, and thus
-ERESTARTSYS return values should be mapped to -EINTR. This is consistent
with the close(2) manual page. The fix is below.

Both __kfifo_put() and __kfifo_get() have header comments stating that if
there is but one concurrent reader and one concurrent writer, locking is not
necessary. This is almost the case, but a couple of memory barriers are
needed. Another option would be to change the header comments to remove the
bit about locking not being needed, and to change the those callers who
currently don't use locking to add the required locking. The attachment
analyzes this approach, but the patch below seems simpler.

This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().
Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
patches for now.
Eric's original description:
There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
because we give it special properties. Most significantly init
must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test
->pid == 1.
Introduce is_init to capture this case.
With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
process that has pid == 1.

The current kernel serializes console resizes but does not serialize the

Secondly while doing this I added vc_lock_resize() to lock and resize the

[assuming BSD security levels are deleted]
The only user of i_security, f_security, s_security fields is SELinux,
however, quite a few security modules are trying to get into kernel.
So, wrap them under CONFIG_SECURITY. Adding config option for each
security field is likely an overkill.
Following Stephen Smalley's suggestion, i_security initialization is
moved to security_inode_alloc() to not clutter core code with ifdefs
and make alloc_inode() codepath tiny little bit smaller and faster.
The user of (highly greppable) struct fown_struct::security field is
still to be found. I've checked every "fown_struct" and every "f_owner"
occurence. Additionally it's removal doesn't break i386 allmodconfig
build.
struct inode, struct file, struct super_block, struct fown_struct
become smaller.
P.S. Combined with two reiserfs inode shrinking patches sent to
linux-fsdevel, I can finally suck 12 reiserfs inodes into one page.

ReiserFS does periodic cleanup of old transactions in order to limit the
length of time a journal replay may take after a crash. Sometimes, writing
metadata from an old (already committed) transaction may require committing
a newer transaction, which also requires writing all data=ordered buffers.
This can cause very long stalls on journal_begin.
This patch makes sure new transactions will not need to be committed before
trying a periodic reclaim of an old transaction. It is low risk because if
a bad decision is made, it just means a slightly longer journal replay
after a crash.

Oleg brought up some interesting points about grabbing the pi_lock for some
protections. In this discussion, I realized that there are some places
that the pi_lock is being grabbed when it really wasn't necessary. Also
this patch does a little bit of clean up.
This patch basically does three things:
1) renames the "boost" variable to "chain_walk". Since it is used in
the debugging case when it isn't going to be boosted. It better
describes what the test is going to do if it succeeds.
2) moves get_task_struct to just before the unlocking of the wait_lock.
This removes duplicate code, and makes it a little easier to read. The
owner wont go away while either the pi_lock or the wait_lock are held.
3) removes the pi_locking and owner blocked checking completely from the
debugging case. This is because the grabbing the lock and doing the
check, then releasing the lock is just so full of races. It's just as
good to go ahead and call the pi_chain_walk function, since after
releasing the lock the owner can then block anyway, and we would have
missed that. For the debug case, we really do want to do the chain walk
to test for deadlocks anyway.

Previously, since determination whether there was an Intel random number
generator was based on a single bit, on systems with a matching bridge
device but without a firmware hub, there was a 50% chance that the code
would incorrectly decide that the system had an RNG. This patch adds
detection of the firmware hub to better qualify the existence of an RNG.
There is one issue with the patch: I was unable to determine the LPC
equivalent for the PCI bridge 8086:2430 (since the old code didn't care
about which of the many devices provided by the ICH/ESB it was chose to use
the PCI bridge device, but the FWH settings live in the LPC device, so the

The on-disk data structures from AIX are not known, also the filesystem
layout is not known. There is a msdos partition signature at the end of
the first block, and the kernel recognizes 3 small (and overlapping)
partitions. But they are not usable. Maybe the firmware uses it to find
the bootloader for AIX, but AIX boots also if the first block is cleared.
This is the content of the partition table:
# dd if=/dev/sdb count=$(( 4 * 16 )) bs=1 skip=$(( 0x1be )) | xxd
0000000: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................

0000030: 80ff ffff 41ff ffff 1b11 0000 381b 0000 ....A.......8...
Handle the whole disk as empty disk.
This fixes also YaST which compares the output from parted (and formerly
fdisk) with /proc/partitions. fdisk recognizes the AIX label since a long
time, SuSE has a patch for parted to handle the disk label as unknown.
dmesg will look like this:
