Bug #64858.

diff-ms-mov-20060622

Patch from mainstream, prepared by Kir <kir@openvz.org>:
Subject: [PATCH] i386/x86_64 segment register access update

Kernel 2.6.8-022stab078.10 fails to build with newer binutils (such as binutils-2.16.91.0.6-5 from Fedora Core 5). The error message is: 

CC arch/i386/kernel/process.o
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:790: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `mov'
.......

X-Git-Tag: v2.6.12-rc4
X-Git-Url: fd51f666fa591294bd746

diff-ms-ia64-map-cross-region-check-20060726

Patch from Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org>:

ia64 doesn't alow making mappings which cross region boundaries. elf loader calls do_mmap_pgoff w/o these checks.

Bug #65217.

diff-ve-netlinkdev-compile-20060803

Patch from Kir <kir@openvz.org>:
fixing compilation of af_netlink.c when CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV=y

Found by Dusty Wilson (OpenVZ bug #213). Original bug is introduced by diff-ubc patch.

OpenVZ Bug #213.

Patch from Dmitry:

This patch fixes issue with wrong context in __ip_ct_find_proto on conntrack destroy.

OpenVZ Bug #211.

diff-ve-net-sockstat-hide-20060704

Patch from Pavel:
Hide /proc/net/sockstat in VE.

Bug #61838.

diff-ms-flock-err-20060605

Patch from Pavel:

If flock_lock_file() failed to allocate flock with locks_alloc_lock() then "error = 0" is returned. Need to return some non-zero.

diff-vzdq-fmt-quota-20060608

Patch from Vasily:

In vzquota format operations are not implemented. If usual quota is launched it uses usual vfs_quota_on which utilize format operations == NULL and it causes oops. This patch force find_quota_format function to skip vzquota format.

OpenVZ Bug #184.

diff-ve-start-jiffies-20060616-mod

Patch from Andrey:

this patch actually fixes jiffies usage for start_time (not 64 bit version)

Orig comment from Andrey:

ve->start_jiffies is set to ve->init_entry->start_time value on VPS start. INITIAL_JIFFIES is used as start_jiffies for VE0. ve->start_jiffies is used instead of ve->init_entry->start_time in proc_pid_stat() and sys_times().

diff-4gb-prefetch

Patch by Kirill (dev@), fixes Red Hat 4G split-related issue:

"Recently we hit PGF on prefetch() on i686 kernel running on AMD processor. I found that this instruction can really generate "wrong" PGF on AMD and that there is a workaround in do_page_fault() like: 

       if (is_prefetch(regs, address, error_code))
               return;

The problem is however that __is_prefetch() uses __get_user() inside and thus we should switch get_fs() in case of regs->xcs == KERNEL_CS."

Bug #64397.

Red Hat bug #204286.

diff-arch-ia64-ipmi_poweroff-20060811

Patch from mainstream:
[IA64] acpi.c: export pm_power_off for use by ipmi_poweroff module

Bug #66505.

Bug #67909.

diff-ext3-errorbehaviour-20060902

SWsoft Virtuozzo/OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered that ext3 error behavior was broken in linux kernels since 2.5.x versions by the following patch:

2002/10/31 02:15:26-05:00 tytso@snap.thunk.org
Default mount options from superblock for ext2/3 filesystems
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@3dc0d88eKbV9ivV4ptRNM8fBuA3JBQ

In case ext3 file system is mounted with errors=continue (EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE) errors should be ignored when possible. However at present in case of any error kernel aborts journal and remounts filesystem to read-only. Such behavior was hit number of times and noted to differ from that of 2.4.x kernels.

This patch fixes this:

  • do nothing in case of EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE,
  • set EXT3_MOUNT_ABORT and call journal_abort() in all other cases
  • panic() should be called after ext3_commit_super() to save sb marked as EXT3_ERROR_FS

diff-generic-aio-retval-20060904

Patch from Vasily (vvs@),

fixes several DIO and iov related issues in generic_file_aio_write_nolock(), based on inux-2.6.9-generic-aio-retval.patch from RHEL4u4 kernel 2.6.9-42

Bug #68103.

diff-jbd-unexpectdirty-20060905

Patch from linux mainstream, prepared by Vasily (vvs@),

http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@431f7f0ceyo6g8tikQvG3I-cCSb7kw

attached patch should fix the following race: 

  Proc 1                               Proc 2

  __flush_batch()
    ll_rw_block()
                                     do_get_write_access()
                                   lock_buffer
                                          jh is only waiting for checkpoint
                                     -&gt; b_transaction == NULL -&gt;
                                             do nothing
                                           unlock_buffer
    test_set_buffer_locked()
    test_clear_buffer_dirty()
                                           __journal_file_buffer()
                                        change the data
    submit_bh()

and we have sent wrong data to disk... We now clean the dirty buffer flag under buffer lock in all cases and hence we know that whenever a buffer is starting to be journaled we either finish the pending write-out before attaching a buffer to a transaction or we won't write the buffer until the transaction is going to be committed.

The test in jbd_unexpected_dirty_buffer() is redundant - remove it. Furthermore we have to clear the buffer dirty bit under the buffer lock to prevent races with buffer write-out (and hence prevent returning a buffer with IO happening).
