209806aba9 [GFS2] Allow local DF locks when holding a cached EX glock
We already allow local SH locks while we hold a cached EX glock, so here
we allow DF locks as well. This works only because we rely on the VFS's
invalidation for locally cached data, and because if we hold an EX lock,
then we know that no other node can be caching data relating to this
file.

It dramatically speeds up initial writes to O_DIRECT files since we fall
back to buffered I/O for this and would otherwise bounce between DF and
EX modes on each and every write call. The lessons to be learned from
that are to ensure that (for the time being anyway) O_DIRECT files are
preallocated and that they are written to using reasonably large I/O
sizes. Even so this change fixes that corner case nicely

265d529cef [GFS2] Fix delayed demote race
There is a race in the delayed demote code where it does the wrong thing
if a demotion to UN has occurred for other reasons before the delay has
expired. This patch adds an assert to catch that condition as well as
fixing the root cause by adding an additional check for the UN state.

5d7e0d2bd9 Fix pagemap_read() use of struct mm_walk
Fix some issues in pagemap_read noted by Alexey:

- initialize pagemap_walk.mm to "mm" , so the code starts working as
  advertised

- initialize ->private to "&pm" so it wouldn't immediately oops in
  pagemap_pte_hole()

- unstatic struct pagemap_walk, so two threads won't fsckup each other
  (including those started by root, including flipping ->mm when you don't
  have permissions)

- pagemap_read() contains two calls to ptrace_may_attach(), second one
  looks unneeded.

- avoid possible kmalloc(0) and integer wraparound.

32502b8413 splice: fix generic_file_splice_read() race with page invalidation
If a page was invalidated during splicing from file to a pipe, then
generic_file_splice_read() could return a short or zero count.

This manifested itself in rare I/O errors seen on nfs exported fuse
filesystems.  This is because nfsd uses splice_direct_to_actor() to read
files, and fuse uses invalidate_inode_pages2() to invalidate stale data on
open.

Fix by redoing the page find/create if it was found to be truncated
(invalidated).

2e4bef41a0 9p: fix O_APPEND in legacy mode
The legacy protocol's open operation doesn't handle an append operation
(it is expected that the client take care of it).  We were incorrectly
passing the extended protocol's flag through even in legacy mode.  This
was reported in bugzilla report #10689.  This patch fixes the problem
by disallowing extended protocol open modes from being passed in legacy
mode and implemented append functionality on the client side by adding
a seek after the open.

cc371e66e3 Add bvec_merge_data to handle stacked devices and ->merge_bvec()
When devices are stacked, one device's merge_bvec_fn may need to perform
the mapping and then call one or more functions for its underlying devices.

The following bio fields are used:
  bio->bi_sector
  bio->bi_bdev
  bio->bi_size
  bio->bi_rw  using bio_data_dir()

This patch creates a new struct bvec_merge_data holding a copy of those
fields to avoid having to change them directly in the struct bio when
going down the stack only to have to change them back again on the way
back up.  (And then when the bio gets mapped for real, the whole
exercise gets repeated, but that's a problem for another day...)

f58ba88910 [GFS2] don't call permission()
GFS2 calls permission() to verify permissions after locks on the files
have been taken.

For this it's sufficient to call gfs2_permission() instead.  This
results in the following changes:

  - IS_RDONLY() check is not performed
  - IS_IMMUTABLE() check is not performed
  - devcgroup_inode_permission() is not called
  - security_inode_permission() is not called

IS_RDONLY() should be unnecessary anyway, as the per-mount read-only
flag should provide protection against read-only remounts during
operations.  do_gfs2_set_flags() has been fixed to perform
mnt_want_write()/mnt_drop_write() to protect against remounting
read-only.

IS_IMMUTABLE has been added to gfs2_permission()

Repeating the security checks seems to be pointless, as they don't
normally change, and if they do, it's independent of the filesystem
state.

9465efc9e9 Remove BKL from remote_llseek v2
- Replace remote_llseek with generic_file_llseek_unlocked (to force compilation
failures in all users)
- Change all users to either use generic_file_llseek_unlocked directly or
take the BKL around. I changed the file systems who don't use the BKL
for anything (CIFS, GFS) to call it directly. NCPFS and SMBFS and NFS
take the BKL, but explicitely in their own source now.

I moved them all over in a single patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

Open problem: 32bit kernels can corrupt fpos because its modification
is not atomic, but they can do that anyways because there's other paths who
modify it without BKL.

Do we need a special lock for the pos/f_version = 0 checks?

Trond says the NFS BKL is likely not needed, but keep it for now
until his full audit.

v2: Use generic_file_llseek_unlocked instead of remote_llseek_unlocked
    and factor duplicated code (suggested by hch)

18ce3751cc Properly notify block layer of sync writes
fsync_buffers_list() and sync_dirty_buffer() both issue async writes and
then immediately wait on them. Conceptually, that makes them sync writes
and we should treat them as such so that the IO schedulers can handle
them appropriately.

This patch fixes a write starvation issue that Lin Ming reported, where
xx is stuck for more than 2 minutes because of a large number of
synchronous IO in the system:

1bdad60633 [GFS2] Remove remote lock dropping code
There are several reasons why this is undesirable:

 1. It never happens during normal operation anyway
 2. If it does happen it causes performance to be very, very poor
 3. It isn't likely to solve the original problem (memory shortage
    on remote DLM node) it was supposed to solve
 4. It uses a bunch of arbitrary constants which are unlikely to be
    correct for any particular situation and for which the tuning seems
    to be a black art.
 5. In an N node cluster, only 1/N of the dropped locked will actually
    contribute to solving the problem on average.

So all in all we are better off without it. This also makes merging
the lock_dlm module into GFS2 a bit easier.

9171f5a991 [GFS2] kernel panic mounting volume
This patch fixes Red Hat bugzilla bug 450156.

This started with a not-too-improbable mount failure because the
locking protocol was never set back to its proper "lock_dlm" after the
system was rebooted in the middle of a gfs2_fsck.  That left a
(purposely) invalid locking protocol in the superblock, which caused an
error when the file system was mounted the next time.

When there's an error mounting, vfs calls DQUOT_OFF, which calls
vfs_quota_off which calls gfs2_sync_fs.  Next, gfs2_sync_fs calls
gfs2_log_flush passing s_fs_info.  But due to the error, s_fs_info
had been previously set to NULL, and so we have the kernel oops.

My solution in this patch is to test for the NULL value before passing
it.  I tested this patch and it fixes the problem.

01b7c7ae88 [GFS2] Revise readpage locking
The previous attempt to fix the locking in readpage failed due
to the use of a "try lock" which resulted in occasional high
cpu usage during testing (due to repeated tries) and also it
did not resolve all the ordering problems wrt the transaction
lock (although it did solve all the inode lock ordering problems).

This patch avoids the problem by unlocking the page and getting the
locks in the correct order. This means that we have to retest the
page to ensure that it hasn't changed when we relock the page.

This now passes the tests which were previously failing.

This patch merges the lock_nolock module into GFS2 itself. As well as removing
some of the overhead of the module, it also means that its now impossible to

f3c9d38a26 [GFS2] Fix ordering bug in lock_dlm
This looks like a lot of change, but in fact its not. Mostly its
things moving from one file to another. The change is just that
instead of queuing lock completions and callbacks from the DLM
we now pass them directly to GFS2.

This gives us a net loss of two list heads per glock (a fair
saving in memory) plus a reduction in the latency of delivering
the messages to GFS2, plus we now have one thread fewer as well.
There was a bug where callbacks and completions could be delivered
in the wrong order due to this unnecessary queuing which is fixed
by this patch.

is either removing or moving existing code.

There are some new bits too though, such as the new run_queue()
function which is considerably streamlined. Highlights of this
patch include:

 o Fixes a cluster coherency bug during SH -> EX lock conversions
 o Removes the "glmutex" code in favour of a single bit lock
 o Removes the ->go_xmote_bh() for inodes since it was duplicating
   ->go_lock()
 o We now only use the ->lm_lock() function for both locks and
   unlocks (i.e. unlock is a lock with target mode LM_ST_UNLOCKED)
 o The fast path is considerably shortly, giving performance gains
   especially with lock_nolock
 o The glock_workqueue is now used for all the callbacks from the DLM
   which allows us to simplify the lock_dlm module (see following patch)
 o The way is now open to make further changes such as eliminating the two
   threads (gfs2_glockd and gfs2_scand) in favour of a more efficient
   scheme.

This patch has undergone extensive testing with various test suites
so it should be pretty stable by now.

5af4e7a0be [GFS2] fix gfs2 block allocation (cleaned up)
This patch fixes bz 450641.

This patch changes the computation for zero_metapath_length(), which it
renames to metapath_branch_start(). When you are extending the metadata
tree, The indirect blocks that point to the new data block must either
diverge from the existing tree either at the inode, or at the first
indirect block. They can diverge at the first indirect block because the
inode has room for 483 pointers while the indirect blocks have room for
509 pointers, so when the tree is grown, there is some free space in the
first indirect block. What metapath_branch_start() now computes is the
height where the first indirect block for the new data block is located.
It can either be 1 (if the indirect block diverges from the inode) or 2
(if it diverges from the first indirect block).

be285c712b [patch 3/3] vfs: make d_path() consistent across mount operations
The path that __d_path() computes can become slightly inconsistent when it
races with mount operations: it grabs the vfsmount_lock when traversing mount
points but immediately drops it again, only to re-grab it when it reaches the
next mount point.  The result is that the filename computed is not always
consisent, and the file may never have had that name. (This is unlikely, but
still possible.)

Fix this by grabbing the vfsmount_lock for the whole duration of
__d_path().

c70f844174 [patch for 2.6.26 4/4] vfs: utimensat(): fix write access check for futimens()
The POSIX.1 draft spec for futimens()/utimensat() says:

        Only a process with the effective user ID equal to the
        user ID of the file, *or with write access to the file*,
        or with appropriate privileges may use futimens() or
        utimensat() with a null pointer as the times argument
        or with both tv_nsec fields set to the special value
        UTIME_NOW.

The important piece here is "with write access to the file", and
this matters for futimens(), which deals with an argument that
is a file descriptor referring to the file whose timestamps are
being updated,  The standard is saying that the "writability"
check is based on the file permissions, not the access mode with
which the file is opened.  (This behavior is consistent with the
semantics of FreeBSD's futimes().)  However, Linux is currently
doing the latter -- futimens(fd, times) is a library
function implemented as

       utimensat(fd, NULL, times, 0)

and within the utimensat() implementation we have the code:

                f = fget(dfd);  // dfd is 'fd'
                ...
                if (f) {
                        if (!(f->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE))
                                goto mnt_drop_write_and_out;

The check should instead be based on the file permissions.

Thanks to Miklos for pointing out how to do this check.
Miklos also pointed out a simplification that could be
made to my first version of this patch, since the checks
for the pathname and file descriptor cases can now be
conflated.

4cca92264e [patch for 2.6.26 3/4] vfs: utimensat(): fix error checking for {UTIME_NOW,UTIME_OMIT} case
The POSIX.1 draft spec for utimensat() says:

    Only a process with the effective user ID equal to the
    user ID of the file or with appropriate privileges may use
    futimens() or utimensat() with a non-null times argument
    that does not have both tv_nsec fields set to UTIME_NOW
    and does not have both tv_nsec fields set to UTIME_OMIT.

If this condition is violated, then the error EPERM should result.
However, the current implementation does not generate EPERM if
one tv_nsec field is UTIME_NOW while the other is UTIME_OMIT.
It should give this error for that case.

This patch:

a) Repairs that problem.
b) Removes the now unneeded nsec_special() helper function.
c) Adds some comments to explain the checks that are being
   performed.

Thanks to Miklos, who provided comments on the previous iteration
of this patch.  As a result, this version is a little simpler and
and its logic is better structured.

Miklos suggested an alternative idea, migrating the
is_owner_or_cap() checks into fs/attr.c:inode_change_ok() via
the use of an ATTR_OWNER_CHECK flag.  Maybe we could do that
later, but for now I've gone with this version, which is
IMO simpler, and can be more easily read as being correct.

94c70b9ba7 [patch for 2.6.26 1/4] vfs: utimensat(): ignore tv_sec if tv_nsec == UTIME_OMIT or UTIME_NOW
The POSIX.1 draft spec for utimensat() says that if a times[n].tv_nsec
field is UTIME_OMIT or UTIME_NOW, then the value in the corresponding
tv_sec field is ignored.  See the last sentence of this para, from
the spec:

    If the tv_nsec field of a timespec structure has
    the special value UTIME_NOW, the file's relevant
    timestamp shall be set to the greatest value
    supported by the file system that is not greater than
    the current time. If the tv_nsec field has the
    special value UTIME_OMIT, the file's relevant
    timestamp shall not be changed. In either case,
    the tv_sec field shall be ignored.

However the current Linux implementation requires the tv_sec value to be
zero (or the EINVAL error results). This requirement should be removed.

12fd0d3088 [patch for 2.6.26 2/4] vfs: utimensat(): be consistent with utime() for immutable and append-only files
This patch fixes utimensat() to make its behavior consistent
with that of utime()/utimes() when dealing with files marked
immutable and append-only.

The current utimensat() implementation also returns EPERM if
'times' is non-NULL and the tv_nsec fields are both UTIME_NOW.
For consistency, the

(times != NULL && times[0].tv_nsec == UTIME_NOW &&
                  times[1].tv_nsec == UTIME_NOW)

case should be treated like the traditional utimes() case where
'times' is NULL.  That is, the call should succeed for a file
marked append-only and should give the error EACCES if the file
is marked as immutable.

The simple way to do this is to set 'times' to NULL
if (times[0].tv_nsec == UTIME_NOW && times[1].tv_nsec == UTIME_NOW).

This is also the natural approach, since POSIX.1 semantics consider the
times == {{x, UTIME_NOW}, {y, UTIME_NOW}}
to be exactly equivalent to the case for
times == NULL.

(Thanks to Miklos for pointing this out.)

Patch 3 in this series relies on the simplification provided
by this patch.

55d8538498 Fix performance regression on lmbench select benchmark
Christian Borntraeger reported that reinstating cond_resched() with
CONFIG_PREEMPT caused a performance regression on lmbench:

	For example select file 500:
	23 microseconds
	32 microseconds

and that's really because we totally unnecessarily do the cond_resched()
in the innermost loop of select(), which is just silly.

This moves it out from the innermost loop (which only ever loops ove the
bits in a single "unsigned long" anyway), which makes the performance
regression go away.

This replaces the use of the BKL in the FAT family of filesystems with the

The code already appears to do mostly proper locking with its own private
spinlocks (and mutexes), but while the BKL could possibly have been
dropped entirely, converting it to use the superblock lock (which is just
a regular mutex) is the conservative thing to do.

As a per-filesystem mutex, it not only won't have any of the possible
latency issues related to the BKL, but the lock is obviously private to
the particular filesystem instance and will thus not cause problems for
entirely unrelated users like the BKL can.

bcf8039ed4 pagemap: fix large pages in pagemap
We were walking right into huge page areas in the pagemap walker, and
calling the pmds pmd_bad() and clearing them.

That leaked huge pages.  Bad.

This patch at least works around that for now.  It ignores huge pages in
the pagemap walker for the time being, and won't leak those pages.

We need this at least for huge page detection for now, because powerpc

It might also come in handy for some of the other users.

2d518f84e5 fat: relax the permission check of fat_setattr()
New chmod() allows only acceptable permission, and if not acceptable, it
returns -EPERM.  Old one allows even if it can't store permission to on
disk inode.  But it seems too strict for users.

E.g.  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449080: With new one,
rsync couldn't create the temporary file.

So, this patch allows like old one, but now it doesn't change the
permission if it can't store, and it returns 0.

Also, this patch fixes missing check.

aed5417593 proc: calculate the correct /proc/<pid> link count
This patch:

  commit e9720acd72
  Author: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org>
  Date:   Fri Mar 7 11:08:40 2008 -0800

    [NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3)

introduced a /proc/self/net directory without bumping the corresponding
link count for /proc/self.

This patch replaces the static link count initializations with a call that
counts the number of directory entries in the given pid_entry table
whenever it is instantiated, and thus relieves the burden of manually
keeping the two in sync.

9bb91784de ext3: fix online resize bug
There is a bug when we are trying to verify that the reserve inode's
double indirect blocks point back to the primary gdt blocks.  The fix is
obvious, we need to mod the gdb count by the addr's per block.  You can
verify this with the following test case

dd if=/dev/zero of=disk1 seek=1024 count=1 bs=100M
losetup /dev/loop1 disk1
pvcreate /dev/loop1
vgcreate loopvg1 /dev/loop1
lvcreate -l 100%VG loopvg1 -n looplv1
mkfs.ext3 -J size=64 -b 1024 /dev/loopvg1/looplv1
mount /dev/loopvg1/looplv1 /mnt/loop
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk2 seek=1024 count=1 bs=50M
losetup /dev/loop2 disk2
pvcreate /dev/loop2
vgextend loopvg1 /dev/loop2
lvextend -l 100%VG /dev/loopvg1/looplv1
resize2fs /dev/loopvg1/looplv1

without this patch the resize2fs fails, with it the resize2fs succeeds.

aae8679b0e pagemap: fix bug in add_to_pagemap, require aligned-length reads of /proc/pid/pagemap
Fix a bug in add_to_pagemap.  Previously, since pm->out was a char *,
put_user was only copying 1 byte of every PFN, resulting in the top 7
bytes of each PFN not being copied.  By requiring that reads be a multiple
of 8 bytes, I can make pm->out and pm->end u64*s instead of char*s, which
makes put_user work properly, and also simplifies the logic in
add_to_pagemap a bit.

The page decrypt calls in ecryptfs_write() are both pointless and buggy.
Pointless because ecryptfs_get_locked_page() has already brought the page

ecryptfs_write_zeros().

ddb2c43594 asn1: additional sanity checking during BER decoding
- Don't trust a length which is greater than the working buffer.
  An invalid length could cause overflow when calculating buffer size
  for decoding oid.

- An oid length of zero is invalid and allows for an off-by-one error when
  decoding oid because the first subid actually encodes first 2 subids.

- A primitive encoding may not have an indefinite length.

ca05a99a54 capabilities: remain source compatible with 32-bit raw legacy capability support.
Source code out there hard-codes a notion of what the
_LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION #define means in terms of the semantics of the
raw capability system calls capget() and capset().  Its unfortunate, but
true.

Since the confusing header file has been in a released kernel, there is
software that is erroneously using 64-bit capabilities with the semantics
of 32-bit compatibilities.  These recently compiled programs may suffer
corruption of their memory when sys_getcap() overwrites more memory than
they are coded to expect, and the raising of added capabilities when using
sys_capset().

As such, this patch does a number of things to clean up the situation
for all. It

  1. forces the _LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION define to always retain its
     legacy value.

  2. adopts a new #define strategy for the kernel's internal
     implementation of the preferred magic.

  3. deprecates v2 capability magic in favor of a new (v3) magic
     number. The functionality of v3 is entirely equivalent to v2,
     the only difference being that the v2 magic causes the kernel
     to log a "deprecated" warning so the admin can find applications
     that may be using v2 inappropriately.

[User space code continues to be encouraged to use the libcap API which
protects the application from details like this.  libcap-2.10 is the first
to support v3 capabilities.]

Fixes issue reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447518.
Thanks to Bojan Smojver for the report.

cbaffba12c posix timers: discard SI_TIMER signals on exec
Based on Roland's patch. This approach was suggested by Austin Clements
from the very beginning, and then by Linus.

As Austin pointed out, the execing task can be killed by SI_TIMER signal
because exec flushes the signal handlers, but doesn't discard the pending
signals generated by posix timers. Perhaps not a bug, but people find this
surprising. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10460

571640cad3 ext4: enable barriers by default
I can't think of any valid reason for ext4 to not use barriers when
they are available;  I believe this is necessary for filesystem
integrity in the face of a volatile write cache on storage.

An administrator who trusts that the cache is sufficiently battery-
backed (and power supplies are sufficiently redundant, etc...)
can always turn it back off again.

SuSE has carried such a patch for ext3 for quite some time now.

Also document the mount option while we're at it.

5132861a7a disable most mode changes on non-unix/non-cifsacl mounts
CIFS currently allows you to change the mode of an inode on a share that
doesn't have unix extensions enabled, and isn't using cifsacl. The inode
in this case *only* has its mode changed in memory on the client. This
is problematic since it can change any time the inode is purged from the
cache.

This patch makes cifs_setattr silently ignore most mode changes when
unix extensions and cifsacl support are not enabled, and when the share
is not mounted with the "dynperm" option. The exceptions are:

When a mode change would remove all write access to an inode we turn on
the ATTR_READONLY bit on the server and remove all write bits from the
inode's mode in memory.

When a mode change would add a write bit to an inode that previously had
them all turned off, it turns off the ATTR_READONLY bit on the server,
and resets the mode back to what it would normally be (generally, the
file_mode or dir_mode of the share).

03fb0bce01 fuse: fix bdi naming conflict
Fuse allocates a separate bdi for each filesystem, and registers them
in sysfs with "MAJOR:MINOR" of sb->s_dev (st_dev).  This works fine for
anon devices normally used by fuse, but can conflict with an already
registered BDI for "fuseblk" filesystems, where sb->s_dev represents a
real block device.  In particularl this happens if a non-partitioned
device is being mounted.

Fix by registering with a different name for "fuseblk" filesystems.

4ca691a892 silently ignore ownership changes unless unix extensions are enabled or we're faking uid changes
CIFS currently allows you to change the ownership of a file, but unless
unix extensions are enabled this change is not passed off to the server.

Have CIFS silently ignore ownership changes that can't be persistently
stored on the server unless the "setuids" option is explicitly
specified.

We could return an error here (-EOPNOTSUPP or something), but this is
how most disk-based windows filesystems on behave on Linux (e.g.  VFAT,
NTFS, etc). With cifsacl support and proper Windows to Unix idmapping
support, we may be able to do this more properly in the future.

b0fd30d3e7 when creating new inodes, use file_mode/dir_mode exclusively on mount without unix extensions
When CIFS creates a new inode on a mount without unix extensions, it
temporarily assigns the mode that was passed to it in the create/mkdir
call. Eventually, when the inode is revalidated, it changes to have the
file_mode or dir_mode for the mount. This is confusing to users who
expect that the mode shouldn't change this way. It's also problematic
since only the mode is treated this way, not the uid or gid. Suppose you
have a CIFS mount that's mounted with:

uid=0,gid=0,file_mode=0666,dir_mode=0777

...if an unprivileged user comes along and does this on the mount:

mkdir -m 0700 foo
touch foo/bar

...there is a period of time where the touch will fail, since the dir
will initially be owned by root and have mode 0700. If the user waits
long enough, then "foo" will be revalidated and will get the correct
dir_mode permissions.

This patch changes cifs_mkdir and cifs_create to not overwrite the
mode found by the initial cifs_get_inode_info call after the inode is
created on the server. Legacy behavior can be reenabled with the
new "dynperm" mount option.

4468eb3fd1 on non-posix shares, clear write bits in mode when ATTR_READONLY is set
When mounting a share with posix extensions disabled,
cifs_get_inode_info turns off all the write bits in the mode for regular
files if ATTR_READONLY is set. Directories and other inode types,
however, can also have ATTR_READONLY set, but the mode gives no
indication of this.

This patch makes this apply to other inode types besides regular files.
It also cleans up how modes are set in cifs_get_inode_info for both the
"normal" and "dynperm" cases.

cluster writeback we could deadlock because we are currently holding the

978b723712 [XFS] Fix fsync() b0rkage.
xfs_fsync() fails to wait for data I/O completion before checking if the
inode is dirty or clean to decide whether to log the inode or not. This
misses inode size updates when the data flushed by the fsync() is
extending the file.

Hence, like fdatasync(), we need to wait for I/o completion first, then
check the inode for cleanliness. Doing so makes the behaviour of
xfs_fsync() identical for fsync and fdatasync and we *always* use
synchronous semantics if the inode is dirty. Therefore also kill the
differences and remove the unused flags from the xfs_fsync function and
callers.

2b280fab12 [CIFS] add more complete mount options to cifs_show_options
adds various options to cifs_show_options
(displayed when you cat /proc/mounts with a cifs mount).  I limited
the new ones to values that are associated with the mount with the
exception of "seal" (which is a per tree connection property, but I
thought was important enough to show through).

Eventually cifs's parse_mount_options also needs to
be rewritten to use the match_token API but that would be a big enough
change that I would prefer that changing parse_mount_options wait
until next release.

adbecb128c [PATCH] dup_fd() part 4 - race fix
Parent _can_ be a clone task, contrary to the comment.  Moreover,
more files could be opened while we allocate a copy, in which case
we end up copying only part into new descriptor table.  Since what
we get _is_ affected by all changes in the old range, we can get
rather weird effects - e.g.
	dup2(0, 1024); close(0);
in parallel with fork() resulting in child that sees the effect of
close(), but not that of dup2() done just before that close().

What we need is to recalculate the open_count after having reacquired
->file_lock and if external fdtable we'd just allocated is too small for
it, free the sucker and redo allocation.

46c8ac7425 nfs/lsm: make NFSv4 set LSM mount options
NFSv3 get_sb operations call into the LSM layer to set security options passed
from userspace.  NFSv4 hooks were not originally added since it was reasonably
late in the merge window and NFSv3 was the only thing that had regressed (v4
has never supported any LSM options)

This patch makes NFSv4 call into the LSM to set security options rather than
just blindly dropping them with no notice to the user as happens today.  This
patch was tested in a simple NFSv4 environment with the context= option and
appeared to work as expected.

b0b539739f NFS: Ensure that 'noac' and/or 'actimeo=0' turn off attribute caching
Both the 'noac' and 'actimeo=0' mount options should ensure that attributes
are not cached, however a bug in nfs_attribute_timeout() means that
currently, the attributes may in fact get cached for up to one jiffy. This
has been seen to cause corruption in some applications.

The reason for the bug is that the time_in_range() test returns 'true' as
long as the current time lies between nfsi->read_cache_jiffies and
nfsi->read_cache_jiffies + nfsi->attrtimeo. In other words, if jiffies
equals nfsi->read_cache_jiffies, then we still cache the attribute data.

when a network device is renamed to bonding_masters. Anyway, in this case
the proper error path is for device_rename to return an error code, not to

Also, to avoid possible races, the create link should be done before the

There was some cleanup issues during early mount which would trigger

cleanup to get rid of the bad behavior.

This also merges the 9pnet and 9pnet_fd modules for the purpose of
configuration and initialization.  Keeping the fd transport separate
from the core 9pnet code seemed like a good idea at the time, but in
practice has caused more harm and confusion than good.

b32a09db4f add match_strlcpy() us it to make v9fs make uname and remotename parsing more robust
match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure
that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or
forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer.

There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options().  I believe it currently
can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious.

The source string is a substing of the mount options.  The kernel silently
truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero.  See
compat_sys_mount() and do_mount().

The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from
name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX.

We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.  PATH_MAX is 4096.  As far as
I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096.

Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct.  It
doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

35fc37d517 add function to convert access flags to legacy open mode
SMBLegacyOpen always opens a file as r/w. This could be problematic
for files with ATTR_READONLY set. Have it interpret the access_mode
into a sane open mode.

e10f7b551d clarify return value of cifs_convert_flags()
cifs_convert_flags returns 0x20197 in the default case. It's not
immediately evident where that number comes from, so change it
to be an or'ed set of flags. The compiler will boil it down anyway.

(Thanks to Guenter Kukkukk for clarifying the flags).

1930479c4b ext4: mballoc fix mb_normalize_request algorithm for 1KB block size filesystems
In case of inode preallocation, the number of blocks to allocate depends
on the file size and it is calculated in ext4_mb_normalize_request().
Each group in the filesystem is then checked to find one that can be
used for allocation; this is done in ext4_mb_good_group().

When a file bigger than 4MB is created, the requested number of blocks
to preallocate, calculated by ext4_mb_normalize_request is 4096.
However for a filesystem with 1KB block size, the maximum size of the
block buddies used by the multiblock allocator is 2048, so none of
groups in the filesystem satisfies the search criteria in
ext4_mb_good_group(). Scanning all the filesystem groups impacts
performance.

This was demonstrated by using a freshly created, 70GB, 1k block
filesystem, with caches dropped write before the test via
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches, and with the filesystem mounted with
nodelalloc and nodealloc,nomballoc.  The time to write an 8 megabyte
file using "dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test/fo bs=8k count=1k conv=fsync"
took 35.5091 seconds (236kB/s) with nodellaloc, and 0.233754 seconds
(35.9 MB/s) with the nodelloc,nomballoc options.  With a 1TB partition,
it took several minutes to write 8MB!

This patch modifies the algorithm in ext4_mb_normalize_group_request to
calculate the number of blocks to allocate by taking into account the
maximum size of free blocks chunks handled by the multiblock allocator.

It has also been tested for filesystems with 2KB and 4KB block sizes to
ensure that those cases don't regress.
