[PATCH v3] hfsplus: return error when node already exists in hfs_bnode_create

by Shardul Bankar

When hfs_bnode_create() finds that a node is already hashed (which should not happen in normal operation), it currently returns the existing node without incrementing its reference count. This causes a reference count inconsistency that leads to a kernel panic when the node is later freed in hfs_bnode_put(): kernel BUG at fs/hfsplus/bnode.c:676! BUG_ON(!atomic_read(&node->refcnt)) This scenario can occur when hfs_bmap_alloc() attempts to allocate a node that is already in use (e.g., when node 0's bitmap bit is incorrectly unset), or due to filesystem corruption. Returning an existing node from a create path is not normal operation. Fix this by returning ERR_PTR(-EEXIST) instead of the node when it's already hashed. This properly signals the error condition to callers, which already check for IS_ERR() return values.

[PATCH v2] ARM: dts: integrator: Fix DMA ranges mismatch warning on IM-PD1

by Kuan-Wei Chiu

When compiling the device tree for the Integrator/AP with IM-PD1, the following warning is observed regarding the display controller node: arch/arm/boot/dts/arm/integratorap-im-pd1.dts:251.3-14: Warning (dma_ranges_format): /bus@c0000000/bus@c0000000/display@1000000:dma-ranges: empty "dma-ranges" property but its #address-cells (2) differs from /bus@c0000000/bus@c0000000 (1) The "dma-ranges" property is intended to describe DMA address translations for child nodes. However, the only child of the display controller is a "port" node, which does not perform DMA memory accesses. Since the property is not required for the child node and triggers a warning due to default address cell mismatch, remove it.

If you do that subtitution and work it all out, you end up with: \Sum w_i * (v_i - v0) avg = --------------------- + v0 \Sum w_i Since you cannot very well track a ratio like that (and not suffer terrible numerical problems) we simpy track the numerator and denominator individually and only perform the division when strictly needed. Notably, the numerator lives in cfs_rq->avg_vruntime and the denominator lives in cfs_rq->avg_load. The one extra 'funny' is that these numbers track the entities in the tree, and current is typically outside of the tree, so avg_vruntime() adds current when needed before doing the division. (vruntime_eligible() elides the division by cross-wise multiplication) Anyway, as mentioned above, we currently use the CFS era min_vruntime for this purpose. However, this thing can only move forward, while the above avg can in fact move backward (when a non-eligible task leaves, the average becomes smaller), this can cause trouble when through happenstance (or construction) these values drift far enough apart to wreck the game. Replace cfs_rq::min_vruntime with cfs_rq::zero_vruntime which is kept near/at avg_vruntime, following its motion. The down-side is that this requires computing the avg more often.
