Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs
Pull btrfs update from Chris Mason: "The biggest feature in the pull is the new (and still experimental) raid56 code that David Woodhouse started long ago. I'm still working on the parity logging setup that will avoid inconsistent parity after a crash, so this is only for testing right now. But, I'd really like to get it out to a broader audience to hammer out any performance issues or other problems. scrub does not yet correct errors on raid5/6 either. Josef has another pass at fsync performance. The big change here is to combine waiting for metadata with waiting for data, which is a big latency win. It is also step one toward using atomics from the hardware during a commit. Mark Fasheh has a new way to use btrfs send/receive to send only the metadata changes. SUSE is using this to make snapper more efficient at finding changes between snapshosts. Snapshot-aware defrag is also included. Otherwise we have a large number of fixes and cleanups. Eric Sandeen wins the award for removing the most lines, and I'm hoping we steal this idea from XFS over and over again." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs: (118 commits) btrfs: fixup/remove module.h usage as required Btrfs: delete inline extents when we find them during logging btrfs: try harder to allocate raid56 stripe cache Btrfs: cleanup to make the function btrfs_delalloc_reserve_metadata more logic Btrfs: don't call btrfs_qgroup_free if just btrfs_qgroup_reserve fails Btrfs: remove reduplicate check about root in the function btrfs_clean_quota_tree Btrfs: return ENOMEM rather than use BUG_ON when btrfs_alloc_path fails Btrfs: fix missing deleted items in btrfs_clean_quota_tree btrfs: use only inline_pages from extent buffer Btrfs: fix wrong reserved space when deleting a snapshot/subvolume Btrfs: fix wrong reserved space in qgroup during snap/subv creation Btrfs: remove unnecessary dget_parent/dput when creating the pending snapshot btrfs: remove a printk from scan_one_device Btrfs: fix NULL pointer after aborting a transaction Btrfs: fix memory leak of log roots Btrfs: copy everything if we've created an inline extent btrfs: cleanup for open-coded alignment Btrfs: do not change inode flags in rename Btrfs: use reserved space for creating a snapshot clear chunk_alloc flag on retryable failure ... |

metag: ptrace
The ptrace interface for metag provides access to some core register
sets using the PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET operations. The
details of the internal context structures is abstracted into user API
structures to both ease use and allow flexibility to change the internal
context layouts. Copyin and copyout functions for these register sets
are exposed to allow signal handling code to use them to copy to and
from the signal context.
struct user_gp_regs (NT_PRSTATUS) provides access to the core general
purpose register context.
struct user_cb_regs (NT_METAG_CBUF) provides access to the TXCATCH*
registers which contains information abuot a memory fault, unaligned
access error or watchpoint. This can be modified to alter the way the
fault is replayed on resume ("catch replay"), or to prevent the replay
taking place.
struct user_rp_state (NT_METAG_RPIPE) provides access to the state of
the Meta read pipeline which can be used to hide memory latencies in
hand optimised data loops.
Extended DSP register state, DSP RAM, and hardware breakpoint registers
aren't yet exposed through ptrace.

dm ioctl: allow message to return data
This patch introduces enhanced message support that allows the device-mapper core to recognise messages that are common to all devices, and for messages to return data to userspace. Core messages are processed by the function "message_for_md". If the device mapper doesn't support the message, it is passed to the target driver. If the message returns data, the kernel sets the flag DM_MESSAGE_OUT_FLAG. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> |

dm ioctl: optimize functions without variable params
Device-mapper ioctls receive and send data in a buffer supplied by userspace. The buffer has two parts. The first part contains a 'struct dm_ioctl' and has a fixed size. The second part depends on the ioctl and has a variable size. This patch recognises the specific ioctls that do not use the variable part of the buffer and skips allocating memory for it. In particular, when a device is suspended and a resume ioctl is sent, this now avoid memory allocation completely. The variable "struct dm_ioctl tmp" is moved from the function copy_params to its caller ctl_ioctl and renamed to param_kernel. It is used directly when the ioctl function doesn't need any arguments.

nbd: support FLUSH requests
Currently, the NBD device does not accept flush requests from the Linux block layer. If the NBD server opened the target with neither O_SYNC nor O_DSYNC, however, the device will be effectively backed by a writeback cache. Without issuing flushes properly, operation of the NBD device will not be safe against power losses. The NBD protocol has support for both a cache flush command and a FUA command flag; the server will also pass a flag to note its support for these features. This patch adds support for the cache flush command and flag. In the kernel, we receive the flags via the NBD_SET_FLAGS ioctl, and map NBD_FLAG_SEND_FLUSH to the argument of blk_queue_flush. When the flag is active the block layer will send REQ_FLUSH requests, which we translate to NBD_CMD_FLUSH commands. FUA support is not included in this patch because all free software servers implement it with a full fdatasync; thus it has no advantage over supporting flush only. Because I [Paolo] cannot really benchmark it in a realistic scenario, I cannot tell if it is a good idea or not. It is also not clear if it is valid for an NBD server to support FUA but not flush. The Linux block layer gives a warning for this combination, the NBD protocol documentation says nothing about it. The patch also fixes a small problem in the handling of flags: nbd->flags must be cleared at the end of NBD_DO_IT, but the driver was not doing that. The bug manifests itself as follows. Suppose you two different client/server pairs to start the NBD device. Suppose also that the first client supports NBD_SET_FLAGS, and the first server sends NBD_FLAG_SEND_FLUSH; the second pair instead does neither of these two things. Before this patch, the second invocation of NBD_DO_IT will use a stale value of nbd->flags, and the second server will issue an error every time it receives an NBD_CMD_FLUSH command. This bug is pre-existing, but it becomes much more important after this patch; flush failures make the device pretty much unusable, unlike Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Bligh <alex@alex.org.uk> Acked-by: Paul Clements <Paul.Clements@steeleye.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

fat: mark fs as dirty on mount and clean on umount
There is no documented methods to mark FAT as dirty. Unofficially MS started to use reserved Byte in boot sector for this purpose, at least since Win 2000. With Win 7 user is warned if fs is dirty and asked to clean it. Different versions of Win, handle it in different ways, but always have same meaning: - Win 2000 and XP, set it on write operations and remove it after operation was finnished - Win 7, set dirty flag on first write and remove it on umount. We will do it as follows: - set dirty flag on mount. If fs was initially dirty, warn user, remember it and do not do any changes to boot sector. - clean it on umount. If fs was initially dirty, leave it dirty. - do not do any thing if fs mounted read-only. - TODO: leave fs dirty if we found some error after mount.

hfsplus: add osx.* prefix for handling namespace of Mac OS X extended attributes
hfsplus: reworked support of extended attributes. Current mainline implementation of hfsplus file system driver treats as extended attributes only two fields (fdType and fdCreator) of user_info field in file description record (struct hfsplus_cat_file). It is possible to get or set only these two fields as extended attributes. But HFS+ treats as com.apple.FinderInfo extended attribute an union of user_info and finder_info fields as for file (struct hfsplus_cat_file) as for folder (struct hfsplus_cat_folder). Moreover, current mainline implementation of hfsplus file system driver doesn't support special metadata file - attributes tree. Mac OS X 10.4 and later support extended attributes by making use of the HFS+ filesystem Attributes file B*-tree feature which allows for named forks. Mac OS X supports only inline extended attributes, limiting their size to 3802 bytes. Any regular file may have a list of extended attributes. HFS+ supports an arbitrary number of named forks. Each attribute is denoted by a name and the associated data. The name is a null-terminated Unicode string. It is possible to list, to get, to set, and to remove extended attributes from files or directories. It exists some peculiarity during getting of extended attributes list by means of getfattr utility. The getfattr utility expects prefix "user." before any extended attribute's name. So, it ignores any names that don't contained such prefix. Such behavior of getfattr utility results in unexpected empty output of extended attributes list even in the case when file (or folder) contains extended attributes. It needs to use empty string as regular expression pattern for names matching (getfattr --match=""). For support of extended attributes in HFS+: 1. It was added necessary on-disk layout declarations related to Attributes tree into hfsplus_raw.h file. 2. It was added attributes.c file with implementation of functionality of manipulation by records in Attributes tree. 3. It was reworked hfsplus_listxattr, hfsplus_getxattr, hfsplus_setxattr functions in ioctl.c. Moreover, it was added hfsplus_removexattr method.

block: optionally snapshot page contents to provide stable pages during write
This provides a band-aid to provide stable page writes on jbd without needing to backport the fixed locking and page writeback bit handling schemes of jbd2. The band-aid works by using bounce buffers to snapshot page contents instead of waiting. For those wondering about the ext3 bandage -- fixing the jbd locking (which was done as part of ext4dev years ago) is a lot of surgery, and setting PG_writeback on data pages when we actually hold the page lock dropped ext3 performance by nearly an order of magnitude. If we're going to migrate iscsi and raid to use stable page writes, the complaints about high latency will likely return. We might as well centralize their page snapshotting thing to one place.

Obviously, this new platform is multiplatform capable so it can be combined with existing machines in the same kernel." * tag 'virt' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (38 commits) ARM: arch_timer: include linux/errno.h arm: arch_timer: add missing inline in stub function ARM: KVM: arch_timers: Wire the init code and config option ARM: KVM: arch_timers: Add timer world switch ARM: KVM: arch_timers: Add guest timer core support ARM: KVM: Add VGIC configuration option ARM: KVM: VGIC initialisation code ARM: KVM: VGIC control interface world switch ARM: KVM: VGIC interrupt injection ARM: KVM: vgic: retire queued, disabled interrupts ARM: KVM: VGIC virtual CPU interface management ARM: KVM: VGIC distributor handling ARM: KVM: VGIC accept vcpu and dist base addresses from user space ARM: KVM: Initial VGIC infrastructure code ARM: KVM: Keep track of currently running vcpus KVM: ARM: Introduce KVM_ARM_SET_DEVICE_ADDR ioctl ARM: gic: add __ASSEMBLY__ guard to C definitions ARM: gic: define GICH offsets for VGIC support ARM: gic: add missing distributor defintions ARM: mach-virt: fixup machine descriptor after removal of sys_timer ... |

Merge tag 'sound-3.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound
Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
"The biggest change in this update is the unification of HD-audio codec
parsers. Now the HD-audio codec is parsed in a generic parser code
which is invoked by each HD-audio codec driver.
Some background information is found in David Henningsson's blog
entry:
http://voices.canonical.com/david.henningsson/2013/01/18/upcoming-changes-to-the-intel-hda-drivers/
Other than that, some random updates/fixes like USB-audio and a bunch
of small AoC updates as usual.
Highlights:
- Unification of HD-audio parser code (aka generic parser)
- Support of new Intel HD-audio controller, new IDT codecs
- Fixes for HD-audio HDMI audio hotplug
- Haswell HDMI audio fixup
- Support of Creative CA0132 DSP code
- A few fixes of HDSP driver
- USB-audio fix for Roland A-PRO, M-Audio FT C600
- Support PM for aloop driver (and fixes Oops)
- Compress API updates for gapless playback support
For ASoC part:
- Support for a wider range of hardware in the compressed stream code
- The ability to mute capture streams as well as playback streams
while inactive
- DT support for AK4642, FSI, Samsung I2S and WM8962
- AC'97 support for Tegra
- New driver for max98090, replacing the stub which was there
- A new driver from Dialog
Note that due to dependencies, DTification of DMA support for Samsung
platforms (used only by the and I2S driver and SPI) is merged here as
well."
Fix up trivial conflict in drivers/spi/spi-s3c64xx.c due to removed code
being changed.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next
Pull networking update from David Miller:
1) Checkpoint/restarted TCP sockets now can properly propagate the TCP
timestamp offset. From Andrey Vagin.
2) VMWARE VM VSOCK layer, from Andy King.
3) Much improved support for virtual functions and SR-IOV in bnx2x,
from Ariel ELior.
4) All protocols on ipv4 and ipv6 are now network namespace aware, and
all the compatability checks for initial-namespace-only protocols is
removed. Thanks to Tom Parkin for helping deal with the last major
holdout, L2TP.
5) IPV6 support in netpoll and network namespace support in pktgen,
from Cong Wang.
6) Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) and Multiple VLAN Registration
Protocol (MVRP) support, from David Ward.
7) Compute packet lengths more accurately in the packet scheduler, from
Eric Dumazet.
8) Use per-task page fragment allocator in skb_append_datato_frags(),
also from Eric Dumazet.
9) Add support for connection tracking labels in netfilter, from
Florian Westphal.
10) Fix default multicast group joining on ipv6, and add anti-spoofing
checks to 6to4 and 6rd. From Hannes Frederic Sowa.
11) Make ipv4/ipv6 fragmentation memory limits more reasonable in modern
times, rearrange inet frag datastructures for better cacheline
locality, and move more operations outside of locking. From Jesper
Dangaard Brouer.
12) Instead of strict master <--> slave relationships, allow arbitrary
scenerios with "upper device lists". From Jiri Pirko.
13) Improve rate limiting accuracy in TBF and act_police, also from Jiri
Pirko.
14) Add a BPF filter netfilter match target, from Willem de Bruijn.
15) Orphan and delete a bunch of pre-historic networking drivers from
Paul Gortmaker.
16) Add TSO support for GRE tunnels, from Pravin B SHelar. Although
this still needs some minor bug fixing before it's %100 correct in
all cases.
17) Handle unresolved IPSEC states like ARP, with a resolution packet
queue. From Steffen Klassert.
18) Remove TCP Appropriate Byte Count support (ABC), from Stephen
Hemminger. This was long overdue.
19) Support SO_REUSEPORT, from Tom Herbert.
20) Allow locking a socket BPF filter, so that it cannot change after a
process drops capabilities.
21) Add VLAN filtering to bridge, from Vlad Yasevich.
22) Bring ipv6 on-par with ipv4 and do not cache neighbour entries in
the ipv6 routes, from YOSHIFUJI Hideaki.
