config SYSV_FS tristate "System V/Xenix/V7/Coherent file system support" depends on BLOCK help SCO, Xenix and Coherent are commercial Unix systems for Intel machines, and Version 7 was used on the DEC PDP-11. Saying Y here would allow you to read from their floppies and hard disk partitions. If you have floppies or hard disk partitions like that, it is likely that they contain binaries from those other Unix systems; in order to run these binaries, you will want to install linux-abi which is a set of kernel modules that lets you run SCO, Xenix, Wyse, UnixWare, Dell Unix and System V programs under Linux. It is available via FTP (user: ftp) from ). NOTE: that will work only for binaries from Intel-based systems; PDP ones will have to wait until somebody ports Linux to -11 ;-) If you only intend to mount files from some other Unix over the network using NFS, you don't need the System V file system support (but you need NFS file system support obviously). Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man tar" or preferably "info tar"). Note also that this option has nothing whatsoever to do with the option "System V IPC". Read about the System V file system in . Saying Y here will enlarge your kernel by about 27 KB. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called sysv. If you haven't heard about all of this before, it's safe to say N. logtreecommitdiff

percpu-refcount: fix reference leak during percpu-atomic transition
percpu_ref_tryget() and percpu_ref_tryget_live() should return "true" IFF they acquire a reference. But the return value from atomic_long_inc_not_zero() is a long and may have high bits set, e.g. PERCPU_COUNT_BIAS, and the return value of the tryget routines is bool so the reference may actually be acquired but the routines return "false" which results in a reference leak since the caller assumes it does not need to do a corresponding percpu_ref_put(). This was seen when performing CPU hotplug during I/O, as hangs in blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait where percpu_ref_kill (blk_mq_freeze_queue_start) raced with percpu_ref_tryget (blk_mq_timeout_work). Sample stack trace: __switch_to+0x2c0/0x450 __schedule+0x2f8/0x970 schedule+0x48/0xc0 blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait+0x94/0x120 blk_mq_queue_reinit_work+0xb8/0x180 blk_mq_queue_reinit_prepare+0x84/0xa0 cpuhp_invoke_callback+0x17c/0x600 cpuhp_up_callbacks+0x58/0x150 _cpu_up+0xf0/0x1c0 do_cpu_up+0x120/0x150 cpu_subsys_online+0x64/0xe0 device_online+0xb4/0x120 online_store+0xb4/0xc0 dev_attr_store+0x68/0xa0 sysfs_kf_write+0x80/0xb0 kernfs_fop_write+0x17c/0x250 __vfs_write+0x6c/0x1e0 vfs_write+0xd0/0x270 SyS_write+0x6c/0x110 system_call+0x38/0xe0 Examination of the queue showed a single reference (no PERCPU_COUNT_BIAS, and __PERCPU_REF_DEAD, __PERCPU_REF_ATOMIC set) and no requests. However, conditions at the time of the race are count of PERCPU_COUNT_BIAS + 0 and __PERCPU_REF_DEAD and __PERCPU_REF_ATOMIC set. The fix is to make the tryget routines use an actual boolean internally instead of the atomic long result truncated to a int.
