git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs Pull the big VFS changes from Al Viro: "This one is *big* and changes quite a few things around VFS. What's in there: - the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open intents. The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in fs/namei.c, we finally have it. Unlike his variant, this one doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is ->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing everything via its fields. Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E... on error, 0 on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g. symlink found on server, etc.). See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open(). That made a lot of goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile: ->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag. With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still visible in namei.h, but not for long. Come the next cycle, declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c itself. [me, miklos, hch] - The second major change: behaviour of final fput(). Now we have __fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep in call stack. That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there. Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which has immediately simplified life for aio.c). We also don't need anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore. There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially asynchronous. For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace. For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure it's finished; so far only one such place had been found, but there might be more. There's flush_delayed_fput() (do all pending __fput()) and there's __fput_sync() (fput() analog doing __fput() immediately). I hope we won't need them often; see warnings in fs/file_table.c for details. [me, based on task_work series from Oleg merged last cycle] - sync series from Jan - large part of "death to sync_supers()" work from Artem; the only bits missing here are exofs and ext4 ones. As far as I understand, those are going via the exofs and ext4 trees resp.; once they are in, we can put ->write_super() to the rest, along with the thread calling it. - preparatory bits from unionmount series (from dhowells). - assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place, as usual. This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's ESTALE work and fsfreeze series (the latter - in dire need of fixes, so I'm not sure it'll make the cut this cycle). I'll probably throw symlink/hardlink restrictions stuff from Kees into the next pile, too. Plus there's a lot of misc patches I hadn't thrown into that one - it's large enough as it is..." * 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (127 commits) ext4: switch EXT4_IOC_RESIZE_FS to mnt_want_write_file() btrfs: switch btrfs_ioctl_balance() to mnt_want_write_file() switch dentry_open() to struct path, make it grab references itself spufs: shift dget/mntget towards dentry_open() zoran: don't bother with struct file * in zoran_map ecryptfs: don't reinvent the wheels, please - use struct completion don't expose I_NEW inodes via dentry->d_inode tidy up namei.c a bit unobfuscate follow_up() a bit ext3: pass custom EOF to generic_file_llseek_size() ext4: use core vfs llseek code for dir seeks vfs: allow custom EOF in generic_file_llseek code vfs: Avoid unnecessary WB_SYNC_NONE writeback during sys_sync and reorder sync passes vfs: Remove unnecessary flushing of block devices vfs: Make sys_sync writeout also block device inodes vfs: Create function for iterating over block devices vfs: Reorder operations during sys_sync quota: Move quota syncing to ->sync_fs method quota: Split dquot_quota_sync() to writeback and cache flushing part vfs: Move noop_backing_dev_info check from sync into writeback ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull RCU changes from Ingo Molnar: "Quoting from Paul, the major features of this series are: 1. Preventing latency spikes of more than 200 microseconds for kernels built with NR_CPUS=4096, which is reportedly becoming the default for some distros. This is a first step, as it does not help with systems that actually -have- 4096 CPUs (work on this case is in progress, but is not yet ready for mainline). This category also includes improving concurrency of rcu_barrier(), placed here due to conflicts. Posted to LKML at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/22/381 Note that patches 18-22 of that series have been defered to 3.7, as they have not yet proven themselves to be mainline-ready (and yes, these are the ones intended to get rid of RCU's latency spikes for systems that actually have 4096 CPUs). 2. Updates to documentation and rcutorture fixes, the latter category including improvements to rcu_barrier() testing.

Merge emailed kgdb dmesg fixups patches from Anton Vorontsov: "The dmesg command appears to be broken after the printk rework. The old logic in the kdb code makes no sense in terms of current printk/logging storage format, and KDB simply hangs forever upon entering 'dmesg' command. The first patch revives the command by switching to kmsg_dumper iterator. As a side-effect, the code is now much more simpler. A few changes were needed in the printk.c: we needed unlocked variant of the kmsg_dumper iterator, but these can surely wait for 3.6. It's probably too late even for the first patch to go to 3.5, but I'll try to convince otherwise. :-) Here we go: - The current code is broken for sure, and has no hope to work at all. It is a regression - The new code works for me, and probably works for everyone else; - If it compiles (and I urge everyone to compile-test it on your setup), it hardly can make things worse." * Merge emailed patches from Anton Vorontsov: (4 commits) kdb: Switch to nolock variants of kmsg_dump functions printk: Implement some unlocked kmsg_dump functions printk: Remove kdb_syslog_data kdb: Revive dmesg command

2012-07-18Make wait_for_device_probe() also do scsi_complete_async_scans()Linus Torvalds2-10/+0
Commit a7a20d103994 ("sd: limit the scope of the async probe domain") make the SCSI device probing run device discovery in it's own async domain. However, as a result, the partition detection was no longer synchronized by async_synchronize_full() (which, despite the name, only synchronizes the global async space, not all of them). Which in turn meant that "wait_for_device_probe()" would not wait for the SCSI partitions to be parsed. And "wait_for_device_probe()" was what the boot time init code relied on for mounting the root filesystem. Now, most people never noticed this, because not only is it timing-dependent, but modern distributions all use initrd. So the root filesystem isn't actually on a disk at all. And then before they actually mount the final disk filesystem, they will have loaded the scsi-wait-scan module, which not only does the expected wait_for_device_probe(), but also does scsi_complete_async_scans(). [ Side note: scsi_complete_async_scans() had also been partially broken, but that was fixed in commit 43a8d39d0137 ("fix async probe regression"), so that same commit a7a20d103994 had actually broken setups even if you used scsi-wait-scan explicitly ] Solve this problem by just moving the scsi_complete_async_scans() call into wait_for_device_probe(). Everybody who wants to wait for device probing to finish really wants the SCSI probing to complete, so there's no reason not to do this. So now "wait_for_device_probe()" really does what the name implies, and properly waits for device probing to finish. This also removes the now unnecessary extra calls to scsi_complete_async_scans().

The leap second rework unearthed another issue of inconsistent data.

2012-07-15time: Rework timekeeping functions to take timekeeper ptr as argumentJohn Stultz1-105/+103
As part of cleaning up the timekeeping code, this patch converts a number of internal functions to takei a timekeeper ptr as an argument, so that the internal functions don't access the global timekeeper structure directly. This allows for further optimizations to reduce lock hold time later. This patch has been updated to include more consistent usage of the timekeeper value, by making sure it is always passed as a argument to non top-level functions.

2012-07-15time: Move xtime_nsec adjustment underflow handling timekeeping_adjustJohn Stultz1-21/+21
When we make adjustments speeding up the clock, its possible for xtime_nsec to underflow. We already handle this properly, but we do so from update_wall_time() instead of the more logical timekeeping_adjust(), where the possible underflow actually occurs. Thus, move the correction logic to the timekeeping_adjust, which is the function that causes the issue. Making update_wall_time() more readable.

2012-07-15time: Condense timekeeper.xtime into xtime_secJohn Stultz1-71/+110
The timekeeper struct has a xtime_nsec, which keeps the sub-nanosecond remainder. This ends up being somewhat duplicative of the timekeeper.xtime.tv_nsec value, and we have to do extra work to keep them apart, copying the full nsec portion out and back in over and over. This patch simplifies some of the logic by taking the timekeeper xtime value and splitting it into timekeeper.xtime_sec and reuses the timekeeper.xtime_nsec for the sub-second portion (stored in higher res shifted nanoseconds). This simplifies some of the accumulation logic. And will allow for more accurate timekeeping once the vsyscall code is updated to use the shifted nanosecond remainder.

In commit 6b43ae8a619d17c4935c3320d2ef9e92bdeed05d, I introduced a bug that kept the STA_INS or STA_DEL bit from being cleared from time_status via adjtimex() without forcing STA_PLL first. Usually once the STA_INS is set, it isn't cleared until the leap second is applied, so its unlikely this affected anyone. However during testing I noticed it took some effort to cancel a leap second once STA_INS was set.

2012-07-11hrtimer: Update hrtimer base offsets each hrtimer_interruptJohn Stultz1-14/+14
The update of the hrtimer base offsets on all cpus cannot be made atomically from the timekeeper.lock held and interrupt disabled region as smp function calls are not allowed there. clock_was_set(), which enforces the update on all cpus, is called either from preemptible process context in case of do_settimeofday() or from the softirq context when the offset modification happened in the timer interrupt itself due to a leap second. In both cases there is a race window for an hrtimer interrupt between dropping timekeeper lock, enabling interrupts and clock_was_set() issuing the updates. Any interrupt which arrives in that window will see the new time but operate on stale offsets. So we need to make sure that an hrtimer interrupt always sees a consistent state of time and offsets. ktime_get_update_offsets() allows us to get the current monotonic time and update the per cpu hrtimer base offsets from hrtimer_interrupt() to capture a consistent state of monotonic time and the offsets. The function replaces the existing ktime_get() calls in hrtimer_interrupt(). The overhead of the new function vs. ktime_get() is minimal as it just adds two store operations. This ensures that any changes to realtime or boottime offsets are noticed and stored into the per-cpu hrtimer base structures, prior to any hrtimer expiration and guarantees that timers are not expired early.

2012-07-11timekeeping: Fix leapsecond triggered load spike issueJohn Stultz1-0/+4
The timekeeping code misses an update of the hrtimer subsystem after a leap second happened. Due to that timers based on CLOCK_REALTIME are either expiring a second early or late depending on whether a leap second has been inserted or deleted until an operation is initiated which causes that update. Unless the update happens by some other means this discrepancy between the timekeeping and the hrtimer data stays forever and timers are expired either early or late. The reported immediate workaround - $ data -s "`date`" - is causing a call to clock_was_set() which updates the hrtimer data structures. See: http://www.sheeri.com/content/mysql-and-leap-second-high-cpu-and-fix Add the missing clock_was_set() call to update_wall_time() in case of a leap second event. The actual update is deferred to softirq context as the necessary smp function call cannot be invoked from hard interrupt context.

clock_was_set() cannot be called from hard interrupt context because it calls on_each_cpu(). For fixing the widely reported leap seconds issue it is necessary to call it from hard interrupt context, i.e. the timer tick code, which does the timekeeping updates. Provide a new function which denotes it in the hrtimer cpu base structure of the cpu on which it is called and raise the hrtimer softirq. We then execute the clock_was_set() notificiation from softirq context in run_hrtimer_softirq(). The hrtimer softirq is rarely used, so polling the flag there is not a performance issue.
