Since then any use of "variable length arrays" has become blasphemous.
Even in perfectly good, beautiful, perfectly safe code like the one
below where the variable length arrays are only used as a sizeof()
parameter, for type-safe dynamic structure allocations. GCC is not
executing any stack allocation code.
I have produced a small file which defines two functions main1(unsigned numdevs)
and main2(unsigned numdevs). main1 uses code as before with call to malloc
and main2 uses code as of after this patch. I compiled it as:
gcc -O2 -S see_asm.c
and here is what I get:
<see_asm.s>
main1:
.LFB7:
.cfi_startproc
mov %edi, %edi
leaq 4(%rdi,%rdi), %rdi
salq $3, %rdi
jmp malloc
.cfi_endproc
.LFE7:
.size main1, .-main1
.p2align 4,,15
.globl main2
.type main2, @function
main2:
.LFB8:
.cfi_startproc
mov %edi, %edi
addq $2, %rdi
salq $4, %rdi
jmp malloc
.cfi_endproc
.LFE8:
.size main2, .-main2
.section .text.startup,"ax",@progbits
.p2align 4,,15
</see_asm.s>
*Exact* same code !!!
So please seriously consider not accepting this patch and leave the
perfectly good code intact.

Normally, we have to issue a cache flush before we can update journal tail in
journal superblock, effectively wiping out old transactions from the journal.
So use the fact that during transaction commit we issue cache flush anyway and
opportunistically push journal tail as far as we can. Since update of journal
superblock is still costly (we have to use WRITE_FUA), we update log tail only
if we can free significant amount of space.

All accesses to checkpointing entries in journal_head are protected
by j_list_lock. Thus __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint() doesn't really
need bh_state lock.
Also the only part of journal head that the rest of checkpointing code
needs to check is jh->b_transaction which is safe to read under
j_list_lock.
So we can safely remove bh_state lock from all of checkpointing code which
makes it considerably prettier.

BH_JWrite bit should be set when buffer is written to the journal. So

When we reach jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail(), there is no guarantee that
checkpointed buffers are on a stable storage - especially if buffers were
written out by jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(), they are likely to be only in disk's
caches. Thus when we update journal superblock effectively removing old
transaction from journal, this write of superblock can get to stable storage
before those checkpointed buffers which can result in filesystem corruption
after a crash. Thus we must unconditionally issue a cache flush before we
update journal superblock in these cases.
A similar problem can also occur if journal superblock is written only in
disk's caches, other transaction starts reusing space of the transaction
cleaned from the log and power failure happens. Subsequent journal replay would
still try to replay the old transaction but some of it's blocks may be already
overwritten by the new transaction. For this reason we must use WRITE_FUA when
updating log tail and we must first write new log tail to disk and update
in-memory information only after that.

Timestamps on regular files are the last metadata that XFS does not update

will allow for further performance improvements later on.

9a7aa12f39 introduced additional logic around setting the i_mutex
lockdep class for directory inodes. The idea was that some filesystems
may want their own special lockdep class for different directory
inodes and calling unlock_new_inode() should not clobber one of
those special classes.
I believe that the added conditional, around the *negated* return value
of lockdep_match_class(), caused directory inodes to be placed in the
wrong lockdep class.
inode_init_always() sets the i_mutex lockdep class with i_mutex_key for
all inodes. If the filesystem did not change the class during inode
initialization, then the conditional mentioned above was false and the
directory inode was incorrectly left in the non-directory lockdep class.
If the filesystem did set a special lockdep class, then the conditional
mentioned above was true and that class was clobbered with
i_mutex_dir_key.
This patch removes the negation from the conditional so that the i_mutex
lockdep class is properly set for directory inodes. Special classes are
preserved and directory inodes with unmodified classes are set with
i_mutex_dir_key.

Squashfs currently has a sanity check for block_size less than or
equal to the maximum block_size (1 Mbyte). This catches some
superblock corruption, but obviously with a block_size maximum
of 1 Mbyte there's 7 correct values (4K, 8K, 16K, 32K, ... etc) and
a lot of incorrect values which are not caught by this check.
The Squashfs superblock, however, has both a block_size and
a block_log (2^block_log == block_size). Checking that the block_size
matches the block_log is a much more robust check. Corruption of the
superblock is unlikely to produce values which match, and it also
ensures the block_size is an exact power of two.

Current code has put_ioctx() called asynchronously from aio_fput_routine();
that's done *after* we have killed the request that used to pin ioctx,
so there's nothing to stop io_destroy() waiting in wait_for_all_aios()
from progressing. As the result, we can end up with async call of
put_ioctx() being the last one and possibly happening during exit_mmap()
or elf_core_dump(), neither of which expects stray munmap() being done
to them...
We do need to prevent _freeing_ ioctx until aio_fput_routine() is done
with that, but that's all we care about - neither io_destroy() nor
exit_aio() will progress past wait_for_all_aios() until aio_fput_routine()
does really_put_req(), so the ioctx teardown won't be done until then
and we don't care about the contents of ioctx past that point.
Since actual freeing of these suckers is RCU-delayed, we don't need to
bump ioctx refcount when request goes into list for async removal.
All we need is rcu_read_lock held just over the ->ctx_lock-protected
area in aio_fput_routine().
