The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@embeddedor.com>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

This sorts the actual field names too, potentially causing even more
chaos and confusion at merge time if you have edited the MAINTAINERS
file. But the end result is a more consistent layout, and hopefully
it's a one-time pain minimized by doing this just before the -rc1
release.
This was entirely scripted:
./scripts/parse-maintainers.pl --input=MAINTAINERS --output=MAINTAINERS --order

They are all supposed to be sorted, but people who add new entries don't
always know the alphabet. Plus sometimes the entry names get edited,
and people don't then re-order the entry.
Let's see how painful this will be for merging purposes (the MAINTAINERS
file is often edited in various different trees), but Joe claims there's
relatively few patches in -next that touch this, and doing it just
before -rc1 is likely the best time. Fingers crossed.
This was scripted with
/scripts/parse-maintainers.pl --input=MAINTAINERS --output=MAINTAINERS
but then I also ended up manually upper-casing a few entry names that
stood out when looking at the end result.

detection feature.
It addressed the case where a KVM guest triggers a split lock #AC and KVM
reinjects it into the guest which is not prepared to handle it.
Adds proper sanity checks which prevent the unconditional injection into
the guest and handles the #AC on the host side in the same way as user
space detections are handled. Depending on the detection mode it either
warns and disables detection for the task or kills the task if the mode is
set to fatal.

Another brown paper bag moment. pnfs_alloc_ds_commits_list() is leaking
the RCU lock.

Two types of #AC can be generated in Intel CPUs:
1. legacy alignment check #AC
2. split lock #AC
Reflect #AC back into the guest if the guest has legacy alignment checks
enabled or if split lock detection is disabled.
If the #AC is not a legacy one and split lock detection is enabled, then
invoke handle_guest_split_lock() which will either warn and disable split
lock detection for this task or force SIGBUS on it.
[ tglx: Switch it to handle_guest_split_lock() and rename the misnamed
helper function. ]

Without at least minimal handling for split lock detection induced #AC,
VMX will just run into the same problem as the VMWare hypervisor, which
was reported by Kenneth.
It will inject the #AC blindly into the guest whether the guest is
prepared or not.
Provide a function for guest mode which acts depending on the host
SLD mode. If mode == sld_warn, treat it like user space, i.e. emit a
warning, disable SLD and mark the task accordingly. Otherwise force
SIGBUS.

Fix: Christoph Hellwig noticed that some logic I added to
orangefs_file_read_iter introduced a race condition, so he
sent a reversion patch. I had to modify his patch since
reverting at this point broke Orangefs.
Cleanup 1: Christoph Hellwig noticed that we were doing some unnecessary
work in orangefs_flush, so he sent in a patch that removed
the un-needed code.
Cleanup 2: Al Viro told me he had trouble building Orangefs. Orangefs
should be easy to build, even for Al :-). I looked back
at the test server build notes in orangefs.txt, just in case
that's where the trouble really is, and found a couple of
typos and made a couple of clarifications.
Merge Conflict: Stephen Rothwell reported that my modifications to
orangefs.txt caused a merge conflict with orangefs.rst
in Linux Next. I wasn't sure what to do, so I asked,
and Jonathan Corbet said not to worry about it and
just to report it to Linus.
