2009-11-19SLOW_WORK: Allow a requeueable work item to sleep till the thread is neededDavid Howells1-0/+44
Add a function to allow a requeueable work item to sleep till the thread processing it is needed by the slow-work facility to perform other work. Sometimes a work item can't progress immediately, but must wait for the completion of another work item that's currently being processed by another slow-work thread. In some circumstances, the waiting item could instead - theoretically - put itself back on the queue and yield its thread back to the slow-work facility, thus waiting till it gets processing time again before attempting to progress. This would allow other work items processing time on that thread. However, this only works if there is something on the queue for it to queue behind - otherwise it will just get a thread again immediately, and will end up cycling between the queue and the thread, eating up valuable CPU time. So, slow_work_sleep_till_thread_needed() is provided such that an item can put itself on a wait queue that will wake it up when the event it is actually interested in occurs, then call this function in lieu of calling schedule(). This function will then sleep until either the item's event occurs or another work item appears on the queue. If another work item is queued, but the item's event hasn't occurred, then the work item should requeue itself and yield the thread back to the slow-work facility by returning. This can be used by CacheFiles for an object that is being created on one thread to wait for an object being deleted on another thread where there is nothing on the queue for the creation to go and wait behind. As soon as an item appears on the queue that could be given thread time instead, CacheFiles can stick the creating object back on the queue and return to the slow-work facility - assuming the object deletion didn't also complete.

2009-11-19SLOW_WORK: Allow the owner of a work item to determine if it is queued or notDavid Howells1-0/+15
Add a function (slow_work_is_queued()) to permit the owner of a work item to determine if the item is queued or not. The work item is counted as being queued if it is actually on the queue, not just if it is pending. If it is executing and pending, then it is not on the queue, but will rather be put back on the queue when execution finishes. This permits a caller to quickly work out if it may be able to put another, dependent work item on the queue behind it, or whether it will have to wait till that is finished. This can be used by CacheFiles to work out whether the creation a new object can be immediately deferred when it has to wait for an old object to be deleted, or whether a wait must take place. If a wait is necessary, then the slow-work thread can otherwise get blocked, preventing the deletion from taking place. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

2009-11-02Revert "ext4: Remove journal_checksum mount option and enable it by default"Linus Torvalds1-1/+7
This reverts commit d0646f7b636d067d715fab52a2ba9c6f0f46b0d7, as requested by Eric Sandeen. It can basically cause an ext4 filesystem to miss recovery (and thus get mounted with errors) if the journal checksum does not match. Quoth Eric: "My hand-wavy hunch about what is happening is that we're finding a bad checksum on the last partially-written transaction, which is not surprising, but if we have a wrapped log and we're doing the initial scan for head/tail, and we abort scanning on that bad checksum, then we are essentially running an unrecovered filesystem. But that's hand-wavy and I need to go look at the code. We lived without journal checksums on by default until now, and at this point they're doing more harm than good, so we should revert the default-changing commit until we can fix it and do some good power-fail testing with the fixes in place." See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14354 for all the gory details.

Rusty, commit 3ca4f5ca73057a617f9444a91022d7127041970a virtio: add virtio IDs file moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h does not include virtio_ids.h. This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C files into the header files, making the header files compatible with the old ones.

On FSC laptops, the sound gets muted gradually when the volume is chnaged. This is due to the wrong volume-knob widget setup. The delta bit (bit 7) shouldn't be set for these devices. This patch adds a new quirk to set the value 0x7f to the widget 0x24 instead of 0xff.
