<content type='text'>
For anything NFS-exported we do _not_ want to unlock new inode
before it has grown an alias; original set of fixes got the
ordering right, but missed the nasty complication in case of
lockdep being enabled - unlock_new_inode() does
	lockdep_annotate_inode_mutex_key(inode)
which can only be done before anyone gets a chance to touch
-&gt;i_mutex.  Unfortunately, flipping the order and doing
unlock_new_inode() before d_instantiate() opens a window when
mkdir can race with open-by-fhandle on a guessed fhandle, leading
to multiple aliases for a directory inode and all the breakage
that follows from that.

	Correct solution: a new primitive (d_instantiate_new())
combining these two in the right order - lockdep annotate, then
d_instantiate(), then the rest of unlock_new_inode().  All
combinations of d_instantiate() with unlock_new_inode() should
be converted to that.

Must retrieve size before running filemap_fault so the kernel has
an up-to-date size.

This should have been caught by xfstests generic/246, but it was masked
by orangefs_new_inode, which set i_size to PAGE_SIZE.  When nothing
caused a getattr prior to a pagefault, i_size was still PAGE_SIZE.
Since xfstests only read 10 bytes, it did not catch this bug.

When orangefs_new_inode was modified to perform a getattr instead,
i_size was set to zero, as it was a newly created file.  Then
orangefs_file_write_iter did NOT set i_size.  Instead it invalidated the
attribute cache, which should have caused the next caller to retrieve
i_size.  But the fault handler did not know it was supposed to retrieve
i_size.  So during xfstests, i_size was still zero, and filemap_fault
returned VM_FAULT_SIGBUS.

Fixes xfstests generic/452.

<title>orangefs: bug fix for a race condition when getting a slot</title>

When a slot becomes free, call wake_up_locked regardless of the number
of slots available.

Without this patch, wake_up_locked is only called when going from no
free slots to one. This means that there is a chance a waiting task
will not be woken up. In many cases, the system will bounce between 0
and 1 free slots, and the waiting tasks will be woken up. But if there
is still a waiting task and another slot becomes available before the
number of free slots reaches zero, that waiting task may never be woken
up since the number of free slots may never reach zero again.

The bug behavior is easy to reproduce with the following script,
where /mnt/orangefs is an OrangeFS file system.

for i in {1..100}; do
	for j in {1..20}; do
		dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/orangefs/tmp$j bs=32768 count=32 &amp;
	done
	wait
done
