nfs_lookup() used to consult a lookup cache before trying an actual wire
lookup operation. The lookup cache would be invalid, of course, if the
parent directory's mtime had changed, so nfs_lookup performed an inode
revalidation on the parent.
Since nfs_lookup() doesn't use a cache anymore, the revalidation is no
longer necessary. There are cases where it will generate a lot of
unnecessary GETATTR traffic.
See http://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9
Test-plan:
Use lndir and "rm -rf" and watch for excess GETATTR traffic or application
level errors.

Since we almost always call nfs_end_data_update() after we called
nfs_refresh_inode(), we now end up marking the inode metadata
as needing revalidation immediately after having updated it.
This patch rearranges things so that we mark the inode as needing
revalidation _before_ we call nfs_refresh_inode() on those operations
that need it.

There's a silly off-by-one error in the code that updates the expiration
of posix CPU timers, causing them to not be properly updated when they
hit exactly on their expiration time (which should be the normal case).
This causes them to then fire immediately again, and only _then_ get
properly updated.

fsck_hfs reveals lots of temporary files accumulating in the hidden
directory "\000\000\000HFS+ Private Data". According to the HFS+
documentation these are files which are unlinked while in use. However,
there may be a bug in the Linux hfsplus implementation which causes this to
happen even when the files are not in use. It looks like the "opencnt"
field is never initialized as (I think) it should be in hfsplus_read_inode.
This means that a file can appear to be still in use when in fact it has
been closed. This patch seems to fix it for me.

Although this message is having the intended effect of causing wireless
driver maintainers to upgrade their code, I never should have merged this
patch in its present form. Leading to tons of bug reports and unhappy
users.
Some wireless apps poll for statistics regularly, which leads to a printk()
every single time they ask for stats. That's a little bit _too_ much of a

Patch from Ian Campbell
Sparse complains about the definition of generic_fls in asm-arm/bitops.h:
CHECK /home/icampbell/devel/kernel/2.6/arch/arm/mach-pxa/viper.c
include2/asm/bitops.h:350:34: error: marked inline, but without a definition
The definition is unnecessary since linux/bitops.h defines generic_fls before including asm/bitops.h and asm/bitops.h should not be included directly. There are still some places where asm/bitops.h is directly included, but I think that code should be fixed. I was a little wary of the patch for this reason but lubbock, mainstone and assabet all build OK and so do my in house boards...
ARM is the only arch with the generic_fls prototype in this way.

This might be harmless, but looks like a race from code inspection (I
was unable to trigger it). I must admit, I don't understand why we
can't return TIMER_RETRY after 'spin_unlock(&p->sighand->siglock)'
without doing bump_cpu_timer(), but this is what original code does.
posix_cpu_timer_set:
read_lock(&tasklist_lock);
spin_lock(&p->sighand->siglock);
list_del_init(&timer->it.cpu.entry);
spin_unlock(&p->sighand->siglock);
We are probaly deleting the timer from run_posix_cpu_timers's 'firing'
local list_head while run_posix_cpu_timers() does list_for_each_safe.
Various bad things can happen, for example we can just delete this timer
so that list_for_each() will not notice it and run_posix_cpu_timers()
will not reset '->firing' flag. In that case,
....
if (timer->it.cpu.firing) {
read_unlock(&tasklist_lock);
timer->it.cpu.firing = -1;
return TIMER_RETRY;
}
sys_timer_settime() goes to 'retry:', calls posix_cpu_timer_set() again,
it returns TIMER_RETRY ...

do_exit() clears ->it_##clock##_expires, but nothing prevents
another cpu to attach the timer to exiting process after that.
After exit_notify() does 'write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock)' and
before do_exit() calls 'schedule() local timer interrupt can find
tsk->exit_state != 0. If that state was EXIT_DEAD (or another cpu
does sys_wait4) interrupted task has ->signal == NULL.
At this moment exiting task has no pending cpu timers, they were cleaned
up in __exit_signal()->posix_cpu_timers_exit{,_group}(), so we can just
return from irq.

1. cleanup_timers() sets timer->task = NULL under tasklist + ->sighand locks.
That means that this code in posix_cpu_timer_del() and posix_cpu_timer_set()
lock_timer(timer);
if (timer->task == NULL)
return;
read_lock(tasklist);
put_task_struct(timer->task)
is racy. With this patch timer->task modified and accounted only under
timer->it_lock. Sadly, this means that dead task_struct won't be freed
until timer deleted or armed.
2. run_posix_cpu_timers() collects expired timers into local list under
tasklist + ->sighand again. That means that posix_cpu_timer_del()
should check timer->it.cpu.firing under these locks too.

IDR trees include a cache of idr_layer objects. There's no way to destroy
this cache, so when we discard an overall idr tree we end up leaking some
memory.
Add and use idr_destroy() for this. v9fs and infiniband also need to use
idr_destroy() to avoid leaks.
Or, we make the cache global, like radix_tree_preload(). Which is probably
better. Later.
