ALSA: usb-audio: fix feature unit parser for UAC2
Fix a small off-by-one bug which causes the feature unit to announce a
wrong number of channels. This leads to illegal requests sent to the
firmware eventually.
Lots of filesystems calls vmtruncate despite not implementing the old
->truncate method. Switch them to use simple_setsize and add some
comments about the truncate code where it seems fitting.
Introduce a new truncate calling sequence into fs/mm subsystems. Rather than
setattr > vmtruncate > truncate, have filesystems call their truncate sequence
from ->setattr if filesystem specific operations are required. vmtruncate is
deprecated, and truncate_pagecache and inode_newsize_ok helpers introduced
previously should be used.
simple_setattr is introduced for simple in-ram filesystems to implement
the new truncate sequence. Eventually all filesystems should be converted
to implement a setattr, and the default code in notify_change should go
away.
simple_setsize is also introduced to perform just the ATTR_SIZE portion
of simple_setattr (ie. changing i_size and trimming pagecache).
To implement the new truncate sequence:
- filesystem specific manipulations (eg freeing blocks) must be done in
the setattr method rather than ->truncate.
- vmtruncate can not be used by core code to trim blocks past i_size in
the event of write failure after allocation, so this must be performed
in the fs code.
- convert usage of helpers block_write_begin, nobh_write_begin,
cont_write_begin, and *blockdev_direct_IO* to use _newtrunc postfixed
variants. These avoid calling vmtruncate to trim blocks (see previous).
- inode_setattr should not be used. generic_setattr is a new function
to be used to copy simple attributes into the generic inode.
- make use of the better opportunity to handle errors with the new sequence.
Big problem with the previous calling sequence: the filesystem is not called
until i_size has already changed. This means it is not allowed to fail the
call, and also it does not know what the previous i_size was. Also, generic
code calling vmtruncate to truncate allocated blocks in case of error had
no good way to return a meaningful error (or, for example, atomically handle
block deallocation).
fs/minix: bugfix, number of indirect block ptrs per block depends on block size
The MINIX filesystem driver used a constant number of indirect block
pointers in an indirect block. This worked only for filesystems with 1kb
block, while the MINIX default block size is now 4kb. As a consequence,
large files were read incorrectly on such filesystems and writing a
large file would cause the filesystem to become corrupted. This patch
computes the number of indirect block pointers based on the block size,
making the driver work for each block size.
I would like to thank Feiran Zheng ('Fam') for pointing out the cause
of the corruption.
We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently.
The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called
simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with,
the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync
which can lead to some confusion.
This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync
to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used
with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious
what to expect. In addition add some documentation for both methods.

get rid of the magic around f_count in aio
__aio_put_req() plays sick games with file refcount. What
it wants is fput() from atomic context; it's almost always
done with f_count > 1, so they only have to deal with delayed
work in rare cases when their reference happens to be the
last one. Current code decrements f_count and if it hasn't
hit 0, everything is fine. Otherwise it keeps a pointer
to struct file (with zero f_count!) around and has delayed
work do __fput() on it.
Better way to do it: use atomic_long_add_unless( , -1, 1)
instead of !atomic_long_dec_and_test(). IOW, decrement it
only if it's not the last reference, leave refcount alone
if it was. And use normal fput() in delayed work.
I've made that atomic_long_add_unless call a new helper -
fput_atomic(). Drops a reference to file if it's safe to
do in atomic (i.e. if that's not the last one), tells if
it had been able to do that. aio.c converted to it, __fput()
use is gone. req->ki_file *always* contributes to refcount
now. And __fput() became static.
In particular, before this patch, the command
ls -l
in an NFS mounted directory would always check if the directory on the server
had changed and if so would flush and refill the pagecache for the dir.
After this patch, the same "ls -l" will repeatedly return stale date until
the cached attributes for the directory time out.
The following patch fixes this by ensuring the d_revalidate is called by
do_last when "." is being looked-up.
link_path_walk has already called d_revalidate, but in that case LOOKUP_OPEN
is not set so nfs_lookup_verify_inode chooses not to do any validation.
The following patch restores the original behaviour.

Avoid this by always using the interrupt to detect completion. If the

userland. Since the sensor set, and consequently the numbering,
differs between models, an extensive database of configurations is
required for an application such as fan control. This patch adds the
SMC labels to the hwmon sysfs interface, allowing applications to use
the sensors more intelligibly.

hwmon: (adm1031) Allow setting update rate
Based on earlier work by Ira W. Snyder.
The adm1031 chip is capable of using a runtime configurable sampling rate,
using the fan filter register. Add support for reading and setting the
update rate via sysfs.
