There are two possible races in handling of private_list in buffer cache.
1) When fsync_buffers_list() processes a private_list, it clears
b_assoc_mapping and moves buffer to its private list. Now
drop_buffers() comes, sees a buffer is on list so it calls
__remove_assoc_queue() which complains about b_assoc_mapping being
cleared (as it cannot propagate possible IO error). This race has been
actually observed in the wild.
2) When fsync_buffers_list() processes a private_list,
mark_buffer_dirty_inode() can be called on bh which is already on the
private list of fsync_buffers_list(). As buffer is on some list (note
that the check is performed without private_lock), it is not readded to
the mapping's private_list and after fsync_buffers_list() finishes, we
have a dirty buffer which should be on private_list but it isn't. This
race has not been reported, probably because most (but not all) callers
of mark_buffer_dirty_inode() hold i_mutex and thus are serialized with
fsync().
Fix these issues by not clearing b_assoc_map when fsync_buffers_list()
moves buffer to a dedicated list and by reinserting buffer in private_list
when it is found dirty after we have submitted buffer for IO. We also
change the tests whether a buffer is on a private list from
!list_empty(&bh->b_assoc_buffers) to bh->b_assoc_map so that they are
single word reads and hence lockless checks are safe.

Currently, for every sysfs node, the callers will be responsible for
implementing store operation, so many many callers are doing duplicate
things to validate input, they have the same mistakes because they are
calling simple_strtol/ul/ll/uul, especially for module params, they are
just numeric, but you can echo such values as 0x1234xxx, 07777888 and
1234aaa, for these cases, module params store operation just ignores
succesive invalid char and converts prefix part to a numeric although input
is acctually invalid.
This patch tries to fix the aforementioned issues and implements
strict_strtox serial functions, kernel/params.c uses them to strictly
validate input, so module params will reject such values as 0x1234xxxx and
returns an error:
write error: Invalid argument
Any modules which export numeric sysfs node can use strict_strtox instead of
simple_strtox to reject any invalid input.
Here are some test results:

All the functions that need to lookup a task by pid in posix timers obtain
this pid from a user space, and thus this value refers to a task in the same
namespace, as the current task lives in.

Add a new s_options field to struct super_block. Filesystems can save
mount options passed to them in mount or remount. It is automatically
freed when the superblock is destroyed.
A new helper function, generic_show_options() is introduced, which uses
this field to display the mount options in /proc/mounts.
Another helper function, save_mount_options() may be used by
filesystems to save the options in the super block.

This series addresses the problem of showing mount options in
/proc/mounts.
Several filesystems which use mount options, have not implemented a
.show_options superblock operation. Several others have implemented
this callback, but have not kept it fully up to date with the parsed
options.
Q: Why do we need correct option showing in /proc/mounts?
A: We want /proc/mounts to fully replace /etc/mtab. The reasons for
this are:
- unprivileged mounters won't be able to update /etc/mtab
- /etc/mtab doesn't work with private mount namespaces
- /etc/mtab can become out-of-sync with reality
Q: Can't this be done, so that filesystems need not bother with
implementing a .show_mounts callback, and keeping it up to date?
A: Only in some cases. Certain filesystems allow modification of a
subset of options in their remount_fs method. It is not possible
to take this into account without knowing exactly how the
filesystem handles options.
For the simple case (no remount or remount resets all options) the
patchset introduces two helpers:
generic_show_options()
save_mount_options()
These can also be used to emulate the old /etc/mtab behavior, until
proper support is added. Even if this is not 100% correct, it's still
better than showing no options at all.
The following patches fix up most in-tree filesystems, some have been
compile tested only, some have been reviewed and acked by the

Per previous discussions about cleaning up ufs_fs.h, people just want
this straight up dropped from userspace export. The only remaining
consumer (silo) has been fixed a while ago to not rely on this header.
This allows use to move it completely from include/linux/ to fs/ufs/
seeing as how the only in-kernel consumer is fs/ufs/.

When the conversion factor between jiffies and milli- or microseconds is
not a single multiply or divide, as for the case of HZ == 300, we currently
do a multiply followed by a divide. The intervening result, however, is
subject to overflows, especially since the fraction is not simplified (for
HZ == 300, we multiply by 300 and divide by 1000).
This is exposed to the user when passing a large timeout to poll(), for
example.
This patch replaces the multiply-divide with a reciprocal multiplication on
32-bit platforms. When the input is an unsigned long, there is no portable
way to do this on 64-bit platforms there is no portable way to do this
since it requires a 128-bit intermediate result (which gcc does support on
64-bit platforms but may generate libgcc calls, e.g. on 64-bit s390), but
since the output is a 32-bit integer in the cases affected, just simplify
the multiply-divide (*3/10 instead of *300/1000).
The reciprocal multiply used can have off-by-one errors in the upper half
of the valid output range. This could be avoided at the expense of having
to deal with a potential 65-bit intermediate result. Since the intent is
to avoid overflow problems and most of the other time conversions are only
semiexact, the off-by-one errors were considered an acceptable tradeoff.
At Ralf Baechle's suggestion, this version uses a Perl script to compute
the necessary constants. We already have dependencies on Perl for kernel
compiles. This does, however, require the Perl module Math::BigInt, which
is included in the standard Perl distribution starting with version 5.8.0.
In order to support older versions of Perl, include a table of canned
constants in the script itself, and structure the script so that
Math::BigInt isn't required if pulling values from said table.
Running the script requires that the HZ value is available from the
Makefile. Thus, this patch also adds the Kconfig variable CONFIG_HZ to the
architectures which didn't already have it (alpha, cris, frv, h8300, m32r,
m68k, m68knommu, sparc, v850, and xtensa.) It does *not* touch the sh or
sh64 architectures, since Paul Mundt has dealt with those separately in the
sh tree.

do_generic_mapping_read was used by gfs2 for internals reads, but this use
of the interface was rather suboptimal (as was the whole interface) and has
been replaced by an internal helper now. This patch kills
do_generic_mapping_read and surrounding damage in preparation of additional
cleanups for the buffered read path.

This is a LED driver using the PWM on newer SOCs from Atmel; brightness is
controlled by changing the PWM duty cycle. So for example if you've set up
two leds labeled "pwm0" and "pwm1":
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/pwm2/brightness # off (0%)
echo 80 > /sys/class/leds/pwm2/brightness
echo 255 > /sys/class/leds/pwm2/brightness # on (100%)
Note that "brightness" here isn't linear; maybe that should change. Going
from 4 to 8 probably doubles perceived brightness, while 244 to 248 is
imperceptible.
This is mostly intended to be a simple example of PWM, although it's
realistic since LCD backlights are often driven with PWM to conserve
battery power (and offer brightness options).
