Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2016-01-23T20:24:56+00:00

Pull final vfs updates from Al Viro:

 - The ->i_mutex wrappers (with small prereq in lustre)

 - a fix for too early freeing of symlink bodies on shmem (they need to
   be RCU-delayed) (-stable fodder)

 - followup to dedupe stuff merged this cycle

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  vfs: abort dedupe loop if fatal signals are pending
  make sure that freeing shmem fast symlinks is RCU-delayed
  wrappers for ->i_mutex access
  lustre: remove unused declaration

tree wide: use kvfree() than conditional kfree()/vfree()

2016-01-23T01:02:18+00:00

There are many locations that do

  if (memory_was_allocated_by_vmalloc)
    vfree(ptr);
  else
    kfree(ptr);

but kvfree() can handle both kmalloc()ed memory and vmalloc()ed memory
using is_vmalloc_addr().  Unless callers have special reasons, we can
replace this branch with kvfree().  Please check and reply if you found
problems.

wrappers for ->i_mutex access

2016-01-22T23:04:28+00:00

parallel to mutex_{lock,unlock,trylock,is_locked,lock_nested},
inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex).

Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle
->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held
only shared.

Merge branch 'for-4.5/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "We don't have a lot of core changes this time around, it's mostly in
  drivers, which will come in a subsequent pull.

  The cores changes include:

   - blk-mq
        - Prep patch from Christoph, changing blk_mq_alloc_request() to
          take flags instead of just using gfp_t for sleep/nosleep.
        - Doc patch from me, clarifying the difference between legacy
          and blk-mq for timer usage.
        - Fixes from Raghavendra for memory-less numa nodes, and a reuse
          of CPU masks.

   - Cleanup from Geliang Tang, using offset_in_page() instead of open
     coding it.

   - From Ilya, rename request_queue slab to it reflects what it holds,
     and a fix for proper use of bdgrab/put.

   - A real fix for the split across stripe boundaries from Keith.  We
     yanked a broken version of this from 4.4-rc final, this one works.

   - From Mike Krinkin, emit a trace message when we split.

   - From Wei Tang, two small cleanups, not explicitly clearing memory
     that is already cleared"

* 'for-4.5/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  block: use bd{grab,put}() instead of open-coding

  Revert "blk-flush: Queue through IO scheduler when flush not required"

2016-01-13T17:24:27+00:00

- bd_acquire() and bd_forget() open-code bdgrab() and bdput()
- raw driver uses igrab() but never checks its return value and always
  holds another ref from bind_set() while calling it, so it's
  equivalent to bdgrab()

2016-01-13T01:11:47+00:00

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "All kinds of stuff.  That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
  branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
  had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.

  Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
  switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
  of various kinds, several new helpers for ->llseek(), assorted
  cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.

  One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
  lookup_one_len_unlocked().  Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
  called without ->i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it.  That, of
  course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
  but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
  with that.  I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
  changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough...  I
  *am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
  and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with ->lookup() done under lock
  taken shared.

  There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
  of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
  ->i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
  inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested().  To quote Linus back then:

    -----
    |    This is an automated patch using
    |
    |        sed 's/mutex_lock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_lock(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_unlock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_unlock(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_lock_nested(&\(.*\)->i_mutex,[     ]*I_MUTEX_\([A-Z0-9_]*\))/inode_lock_nested(\1, I_MUTEX_\2)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_is_locked(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_is_locked(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_trylock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_trylock(\1)/'
    |
    |    with a very few manual fixups
    -----

  I'm going to send that once the ->i_mutex-affecting stuff in -next
  gets mostly merged (or when Linus says he's about to stop taking
  merges)"

ipmi: Remove unnecessary pci_disable_device.

2016-01-12T21:08:49+00:00

We call cleanup_one_si from ipmi_pci_remove, which calls ->addr_source_cleanup,
 which gets set to point to ipmi_pci_cleanup, which does a pci_disable_device.

On return from this, we do a second pci_disable_device, which
results in the trace below.
