While writing a version of losetup, I ran into the problem that the loop
device was returning total garbage.
It turns out the problem was that this losetup was only issuing the
LOOP_SET_FD ioctl and not issuing a subsequent LOOP_SET_STATUS ioctl. This
losetup didn't have any special status to set, so it left out the call.
The deeper cause is that loop_set_fd sets the transfer function to NULL,
which causes no transfer to happen lo_do_transfer.
This patch fixes the problem by setting transfer to transfer_none in
loop_set_fd.

Sometimes partitions claim to be larger than the reported capacity of a
disk device. This patch makes the kernel warn about those partitions.
We still permit these patitions to be used. Quoting Andries Brouwer
<Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>:
Case 1: The kernel is mistaken about the size of the disk. (There are
commands to clip a disk to a certain capacity, there are jumpers to tell a
disk that it should report a certain capacity etc. Usually this is because
of BIOS bugs. In bad cases the machine will crash in the BIOS and hence fail
to boot if the disk reports full capacity.) In such cases actually accessing
the blocks of the partition may work fine, or may work fine after running an
unclip utility. I wrote "setmax" some years ago precisely for this reason.
Case 2: There was a messy partition table (maybe just a rounding error) but
the actual filesystem on the partition is contained in the physical disk.
Now using the filesystem goes without problem.
Case 3: Both partition and filesystem extend beyond the end of the disk. In
forensic or debugging situations one often uses a copy of the start of a
disk. Now access beyond the end gives an expected I/O error.

Split the checkpoint list of the transaction into two lists. In the first
list we keep the buffers that need to be submitted for IO. In the second
list are kept buffers that were already submitted and we just have to wait
for the IO to complete. This should simplify a handling of checkpoint
lists a bit and can eventually be also a performance gain.

When CONFIG_BASE_SAMLL=1, cascade() in may enter the infinite loop.
Because of CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=1(TVR_BITS=6 and TVN_BITS=4), the list
base->tv5 may cascade into base->tv5. So, the kernel enters the infinite
loop in the function cascade().
I created a test module to verify this bug, and a patch to fix it.

If invalidate_mapping_pages is called to invalidate a very large mapping
(e.g. a very large block device) and if the only active page in that
device is near the end (or at least, at a very large index), such as, say,
the superblock of an md array, and if that page happens to be locked when
invalidate_mapping_pages is called, then
pagevec_lookup will return this page and
as it is locked, 'next' will be incremented and pagevec_lookup
will be called again. and again. and again.
while we count from 0 upto a very large number.
We should really always set 'next' to 'page->index+1' before going around
the loop again, not just if the page isn't locked.

free blocks counter
The percpu counter data type are changed in this set of patches to support
more users like ext3 who need more than 32 bit to store the free blocks
total in the filesystem.
- Generic perpcu counters data type changes. The size of the global counter
and local counter were explictly specified using s64 and s32. The global
counter is changed from long to s64, while the local counter is changed from
long to s32, so we could avoid doing 64 bit update in most cases.
- Users of the percpu counters are updated to make use of the new
percpu_counter_init() routine now taking an additional parameter to allow
users to pass the initial value of the global counter.

- When setting a sighandler using sigaction() call, if the flag
SA_ONSTACK is set and no alternate stack is provided via sigaltstack(),
the kernel still try to install the alternate stack. This behavior is
the opposite of the one which is documented in Single Unix Specifications
V3.
- Also when setting an alternate stack using sigaltstack() with the flag
SS_DISABLE, the kernel try to install the alternate stack on signal
delivery.
These two use cases makes the process crash at signal delivery.

Here's a patch for cs46xx that
- (mostly) cleans up the cs46xx driver according to CodingStyle
- removes a bunch of pointless casts
- fixes a small, potential use of uninitialized variable, bug
- reduces the size of the compiled code by 36 bytes
- reduces the size of the source file by 1831 bytes
I know I should probably have split this into bits, but since I only
thought of that *after* doing all the edits, splitting it up would have
been a royal pain. And since these are all pretty trivial changes I thought
I'd just submit the one huge patch and hope people could live with it (if
not, then just tell me and I'll split it).
The bug fix that's in there may be hard to spot, so I'll point it out. It's
the
- int val, valsave, mapped, ret;
+ int val, valsave, ret;
+ int mapped = 0;
bit.
Without that change we may use `mapped' uninitialized if, in cs_ioctl, the
first test of "if(state)" is false and the second "if(state)" test is true.

Fix possible assertion failure in journal_commit_transaction() on
jh->b_next_transaction == NULL (when we are processing BJ_Forget list and
buffer is not jbddirty).
!jbddirty buffers can be placed on BJ_Forget list for example by
journal_forget() or by __dispose_buffer() - generally such buffer means
that it has been freed by this transaction.
Freed buffers should not be reallocated until the transaction has committed
(that's why we have the assertion there) but they *can* be reallocated when
the transaction has already been committed to disk and we are just
processing the BJ_Forget list (as soon as we remove b_committed_data from
the bitmap bh, ext3 will be able to reallocate buffers freed by the
committing transaction). So we have to also count with the case that the
buffer has been reallocated and b_next_transaction has been already set.
And one more subtle point: it can happen that we manage to reallocate the
buffer and also mark it jbddirty. Then we also add the freed buffer to the
checkpoint list of the committing trasaction. But that should do no harm.
Non-jbddirty buffers should be filed to BJ_Reserved and not BJ_Metadata
list. It can actually happen that we refile such buffers during the commit
phase when we reallocate in the running transaction blocks deleted in
committing transaction (and that can happen if the committing transaction
already wrote all the data and is just cleaning up BJ_Forget list).

After a lot of reading the code and thinking about how it behaves I have
managed to figure out what the current ptrace locking rules are. The
current code is in much better that it appears at first glance. The
troublesome code paths are actually the code paths that violate the current
rules.
ptrace uses simple exclusive access as it's locking. You can only touch
task->ptrace if the task is stopped and you are the ptracer, or if the task
is running and are the task itself.
Very simple, very easy to maintain. It just needs to be documented so
people know not to touch ptrace from elsewhere.
Currently we do have a few pieces of code that are in violation of this
rule. Particularly the core dump code, and ptrace_attach. But so far the
code looks fixable.
