c0420ad2ca [PATCH] ocfs2: fix oops in mmap_truncate testing
This patch fixes a mmap_truncate bug which was found by ocfs2 test suite.

In an ocfs2 cluster more than 1 node, run program mmap_truncate, which races
mmap writes and truncates from multiple processes. While the test is
running, a stat from another node forces writeout, causing an oops in
ocfs2_get_block() because it sees a buffer to write which isn't allocated.

This patch fixed the bug by clear dirty and uptodate bits in buffer, leave
the buffer unmapped and return.

Fix is suggested by Mark Fasheh, and I code up the patch.

e752065175 configfs: call drop_link() to cleanup after create_link() failure
When allow_link() succeeds but create_link() fails, the subsystem is not
informed of the failure.

This patch fixes this by calling drop_link() on create_link() failures.

11c3b79218 configfs: Allow ->make_item() and ->make_group() to return detailed errors.
The configfs operations ->make_item() and ->make_group() currently
return a new item/group.  A return of NULL signifies an error.  Because
of this, -ENOMEM is the only return code bubbled up the stack.

Multiple folks have requested the ability to return specific error codes
when these operations fail.  This patch adds that ability by changing the
->make_item/group() ops to return an int.

Also updated are the in-kernel users of configfs.

6d8344baee configfs: Fix failing mkdir() making racing rmdir() fail
When fixing the rename() vs rmdir() deadlock, we stopped locking default groups'
inodes in configfs_detach_prep(), letting racing mkdir() in default groups
proceed concurrently. This enables races like below happen, which leads to a
failing mkdir() making rmdir() fail, despite the group to remove having no
user-created directory under it in the end.

	process A: 			process B:
	/* PWD=A/B */
	mkdir("C")
	  make_item("C")
	  attach_group("C")
					rmdir("A")
					  detach_prep("A")
					    detach_prep("B")
					      error because of "C"
					  return -ENOTEMPTY
	    attach_group("C/D")
	      error (eg -ENOMEM)
	  return -ENOMEM

This patch prevents such scenarii by making rmdir() wait as long as
detach_prep() fails because a racing mkdir() is in the middle of attach_group().
To achieve this, mkdir() sets a flag CONFIGFS_USET_IN_MKDIR in parent's
configfs_dirent before calling attach_group(), and clears the flag once
attach_group() is done. detach_prep() fails with -EAGAIN whenever the flag is
hit and returns the guilty inode's mutex so that rmdir() can wait on it.

b3e76af874 configfs: Fix deadlock with racing rmdir() and rename()
This patch fixes the deadlock between racing sys_rename() and configfs_rmdir().

The idea is to avoid locking i_mutexes of default groups in
configfs_detach_prep(), and rely instead on the new configfs_dirent_lock to
protect against configfs_dirent's linkage mutations. To ensure that an mkdir()
racing with rmdir() will not create new items in a to-be-removed default group,
we make configfs_new_dirent() check for the CONFIGFS_USET_DROPPING flag right
before linking the new dirent, and return error if the flag is set. This makes
racing mkdir()/symlink()/dir_open() fail in places where errors could already
happen, resp. in (attach_item()|attach_group())/create_link()/new_dirent().

configfs_depend() remains safe since it locks all the path from configfs root,
and is thus mutually exclusive with rmdir().

An advantage of this is that now detach_groups() unconditionnaly takes the
default groups i_mutex, which makes it more consistent with populate_groups().

5301a77da2 configfs: Protect configfs_dirent s_links list mutations
Symlinks to a config_item are listed under its configfs_dirent s_links, but the
list mutations are not protected by any common lock.

This patch uses the configfs_dirent_lock spinlock to add the necessary
protection.

Note: we should also protect the list_empty() test in configfs_detach_prep() but
1/ the lock should not be released immediately because nothing would prevent the
list from being filled after a successful list_empty() test, making the problem
tricky,
2/ this will be solved by the rmdir() vs rename() deadlock bugfix.

6f61076406 configfs: Introduce configfs_dirent_lock
This patch introduces configfs_dirent_lock spinlock to protect configfs_dirent
traversals against linkage mutations (add/del/move). This will allow
configfs_detach_prep() to avoid locking i_mutexes.

Locking rules for configfs_dirent linkage mutations are the same plus the
requirement of taking configfs_dirent_lock. For configfs_dirent walking, one can
either take appropriate i_mutex as before, or take configfs_dirent_lock.

The spinlock could actually be a mutex, but the critical sections are either
O(1) or should not be too long (default groups walking in last patch).

ChangeLog:
  - Clarify the comment on configfs_dirent_lock usage
  - Move sd->s_element init before linking the new dirent
  - In lseek(), do not release configfs_dirent_lock before the dirent is
    relinked.

fe9f387740 ocfs2: Don't snprintf() without a format.
Some system files are per-slot.  Their names include the slot number.
ocfs2_sprintf_system_inode_name() uses the system inode definitions to
fill in the slot number with snprintf().

For global system files, there is no node number, and the name was
printed as a format with no arguments.  -Wformat-nonliteral and
-Wformat-security don't like this.  Instead, use a static "%s" format
and the name as the argument.

536abdb080 cifs: fix wksidarr declaration to be big-endian friendly
The current definition of wksidarr works fine on little endian arches
(since cpu_to_le32 is a no-op there), but on big-endian arches, it fails
to compile with this error:

error: braced-group within expression allowed only inside a function

The problem is that this static declaration has cpu_to_le32 embedded
within it, and that expands into a function macro.  We need to use
__constant_cpu_to_le32() instead.

e911d0cc87 cifs: fix inode leak in cifs_get_inode_info_unix
Try this:

    mount a share with unix extensions
    create a file on it
    umount the share

You'll get the following message in the ring buffer:

VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of cifs. Self-destruct in 5 seconds.  Have a
nice day...

...the problem is that cifs_get_inode_info_unix is creating and hashing
a new inode even when it's going to return error anyway. The first
lookup when creating a file returns an error so we end up leaking this
inode before we do the actual create. This appears to be a regression
caused by commit 0e4bbde94f.

The following patch seems to fix it for me, and fixes a minor
formatting nit as well.

49641f1acf Fix reference counting race on log buffers
When we release the iclog, we do an atomic_dec_and_lock to determine if
we are the last reference and need to trigger update of log headers and
writeout.  However, in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() we also need to
check if we have the last reference count there.  If we do, we release
the log buffer, otherwise we decrement the reference count.

But the compare and decrement in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() is not
atomic, so both places can see a reference count of 2 and neither will
release the iclog.  That leads to a filesystem hang.

Close the race by replacing the atomic_read() and atomic_dec() pair with
atomic_add_unless() to ensure that they are executed atomically.

96a8e13ed4 exec: fix stack excutability without PT_GNU_STACK
Kernel Bugzilla #11063 points out that on some architectures (e.g. x86_32)
exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program header should default to an
executable stack; but this got broken by the unlimited argv feature because
stack vma is now created before the right personality has been established:
so breaking old binaries using nested function trampolines.

Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack
vm_flags used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup.  Checking through
our existing VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct:
so this seems safer than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.

the lock level constants are actually identical between o2dlm and fs/dlm.
The *_CONVERT and *_NOQUEUE flags have different values though, which is
eventually causing a crash in flags_to_o2dlm().

Another thought is that individual pages might perhaps get evicted by VM
pressure, in which case we might perhaps want to re-read not only the
evicted page, but all subsequent pages too (in case the server returns
more/less data per page so that the alignment of the next entry
changes). We should therefore remove the condition that we only do this on
page->index==0.

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:

Lin Ming confirms that this patch fixes the issue. I've run tests with
it for the past week and no ill effects have been observed, so I'm
proposing it for inclusion into 2.6.26.

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).

e8183c2452 udf: Fix regression in UDF anchor block detection
In some cases it could happen that some block passed test in
udf_check_anchor_block() even though udf_read_tagged() refused to read it later
(e.g. because checksum was not correct).  This patch makes
udf_check_anchor_block() use udf_read_tagged() so that the checking is
stricter.

This fixes the regression (certain disks unmountable) caused by commit
423cf6dc04.

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().
