A deadlock was possible, when the last reference to the superblock was
held due to a background request containing a file reference.
Releasing the file would release the vfsmount which in turn would
release the superblock. Since sbput_sem is held during the fput() and
fuse_put_super() tries to acquire this same semaphore, a deadlock
results.
The solution is to move the fput() outside the region protected by
sbput_sem.

It was wrong, because it didn't take into account the requirement,

The right solution is to keep the sbput_sem and perform iput() within
the locked region, but move fput() outside sbput_sem.

Gcc thinks it owns the incoming argument stack, but that's not true for

when it pushes the third argument onto the stack. Which can result in
%ebx getting corrupted in user space.
Now, normally nobody sane would ever notice, since libc will save and
restore %ebx anyway over the system call, but it's still wrong.
I'd much rather have "asmlinkage" tell gcc directly that it doesn't own
the stack, but no such attribute exists, so we're stuck with our hacky
manual "prevent_tail_call()" macro once more (we've had the same issue

created and sysfs is populated.
We have a bunch of old bugs for removable storage handling where we
probe successfully for a filesystem on the raw disk, but at the
same time the kernel recognizes a partition table and creates partition
devices.
Currently there is no sane way to tell if partitions will show up or not
at the time the disk device is announced to userspace. With the delayed
events we can simply skip any probe for a filesystem on the raw disk when
we find already present partitions.

It works like this:
Open the file
Read all the contents.
Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works)
When poll returns,
close the file and go to top of loop.
or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'.
Events are signaled by an object manager calling
sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr);
If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which
contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group).
This has a cost of one int per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject,
one int per open file.
The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify
functionality. Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs
attributes as well?

This is two distinct changes.
- Not changing our real parents.
- Not changing our ptrace parents.
Not changing our real parents is trivially correct because both tasks
have the same real parents as they are part of a thread group. Now that
we demote the leader to a thread there is no longer any reason to change
it's parentage.
Not changing our ptrace parents is a user visible change if someone
looks hard enough. I don't think user space applications will care or
even notice.
In the practical and I think common case a debugger will have attached
to all of the threads using the same ptrace flags. From my quick skim
of strace and gdb that appears to be the case. Which if true means
debuggers will not notice a change.
Before this point we have already generated a ptrace event in do_exit
that reports the leaders pid has died so de_thread is visible to a
debugger. Which means attempting to hide this case by copying flags
around appears excessive.
By not doing anything it avoids all of the weird locking issues between
de_thread and ptrace attach, and removes one case from consideration for
fixing the ptrace locking.
This only addresses Oleg's first concern with ptrace_attach, that of the
problems caused by reparenting. Oleg's second concern is essentially a
race between ptrace_attach and release_task that causes an oops when we
get to force_sig_specific. There is nothing special about de_thread
with respect to that race.

This makes XFS ACLs usable on NFS exports, which they currently aren't, since
XFS appears to be returning a too-large value for vfs_getxattr() when it's

Use the fl_lmops field to identify which locks are ours, instead of trying to
look them up in our private hash. This is safer and more efficient.
Earlier versions of this patch used a lock flag instead, but Trond pointed out
that adding a new flag for each lock manager wasn't going to scale well, and
suggested this approach instead; a separate patch converts lockd to using
fl_lmops in the same way.
In the NFSv4 case this looks like a bit of a hack, since the NFSv4 server
isn't currently actually defining a lock_manager_operations struct, so we end
up defining one *just* to serve as a cookie to identify our locks.
But it works, and we actually do expect to start using the

However in three places, particularly for read request, the number given is

This means too much space is reserved which is slightly wasteful.

The previous patch removed limiting the number of outstanding requests. This
patch adds a much simpler limiting, that is also compatible with file locking
operations.
A task may have at most one synchronous request allocated. So these requests
need not be otherwise limited.
However the number of background requests (release, forget, asynchronous
reads, interrupted requests) can grow indefinitely. This can be used by a
malicous user to cause FUSE to allocate arbitrary amounts of unswappable
kernel memory, denying service.
For this reason add a limit for the number of background requests, and block
allocations of new requests until the number goes bellow the limit.
Also use this mechanism to block all requests until the INIT reply is
received.

Remove the global spinlock in favor of a per-mount one.

This is in preparation for removing the global spinlock in favor of a
per-mount one.
The only critical part is the interaction between fuse_dev_release() and
fuse_fill_super(): fuse_dev_release() must see the assignment to
file->private_data, otherwise it will leak the reference to fuse_conn.
This is ensured by the fput() operation, which will synchronize the assignment
with other CPU's that may do a final fput() soon after this.
Also redundant locking is removed from fuse_fill_super(), where exclusion is
already ensured by the BKL held for this function by the VFS.

This adds asynchronous notification to FUSE - a FUSE server can request
O_ASYNC on a /dev/fuse file descriptor and receive SIGIO when there is input
available.
One subtlety - fuse_dev_fasync, which is called when O_ASYNC is requested,
does no locking, unlink the other methods. I think it's unnecessary, as the
fuse_conn.fasync list is manipulated only by fasync_helper and kill_fasync,
which provide their own locking. It would also be wrong to use the fuse_lock,
as it's a spin lock and fasync_helper can sleep. My one concern with this is
the fuse_conn going away underneath fuse_dev_fasync - sys_fcntl takes a
reference on the file struct, so this seems not to be a problem.

fuse_dev_poll() returned an error value instead of a poll mask. Luckily (or
unluckily) -ENODEV does contain the POLLERR bit.
There's also a race if filesystem is unmounted between fuse_get_conn() and
spin_lock(), in which case this event will be missed by poll().

During heavy parallel filesystem activity it was possible to Oops the kernel.
The reason is that read_cache_pages() could skip pages which have already been
inserted into the cache by another task. Occasionally this may result in zero
pages actually being sent, while fuse_send_readpages() relies on at least one
page being in the request.
So check this corner case and just free the request instead of trying to send
it.

The spufs file system creates files in a directory before instantiating the
directory itself, which causes a NULL pointer access in
inotify_d_instantiate since c32ccd87bf.
I'd like to keep this behavior since it means that the user will not have
access to files in the directory before I know that I succeed in creating
everything in it. This patch adds a simple check for the inode to keep
that working.

Everybody seems to be using /proc/vmcore as a method to access the kernel

The only record we have of the real-time age of a process, regardless of
execs it's done, is start_time. When a non-leader thread exec, the
original start_time of the process is lost. Things looking at the
real-time age of the process are fooled, for example the process accounting
record when the process finally dies. This change makes the oldest
start_time stick around with the process after a non-leader exec. This way
the association between PID and start_time is kept constant, which seems
correct to me.

If SELECT_STACK_ALLOC is not a multiple of sizeof(long) then stack_fds[]
would be shorter than SELECT_STACK_ALLOC bytes and could overflow later in
the function. Fixed by simply rearranging the test later to work on
sizeof(stack_fds) Currently SELECT_STACK_ALLOC is 256 so this doesn't
happen, but it's nasty to have things like this hidden in the code. What
if later someone decides to change SELECT_STACK_ALLOC to 300?

It's more efficient for sendfile() emulation. Basically we cache an
internal private pipe and just use that as the intermediate area for
pages. Direct splicing is not available from sys_splice(), it is only
meant to be used for sendfile() emulation.

reclaim. By the time the transaction has hit the disk, the linux inode and
xfs vnode may already have been freed so we can't reference them safely.
Use the known xfs inode state to determine if it is safe to reference the
