695f6ae0dc ext3: avoid false EIO errors
Sometimes block_write_begin() can map buffers in a page but later we
fail to copy data into those buffers (because the source page has been
paged out in the mean time).  We then end up with !uptodate mapped
buffers.  To add a bit more to the confusion, block_write_end() does
not commit any data (and thus does not any mark buffers as uptodate) if
we didn't succeed with copying all the data.

Commit f4fc66a894 (ext3: convert to new
aops) missed these cases and thus we were inserting non-uptodate
buffers to transaction's list which confuses JBD code and it reports IO
errors, aborts a transaction and generally makes users afraid about
their data ;-P.

This patch fixes the problem by reorganizing ext3_..._write_end() code
to first call block_write_end() to mark buffers with valid data
uptodate and after that we file only uptodate buffers to transaction's
lists.

We also fix a problem where we could leave blocks allocated beyond i_size
(i_disksize in fact) because of failed write. We now add inode to orphan
list when write fails (to be safe in case we crash) and then truncate blocks
beyond i_size in a separate transaction.

de18f3b2d6 ext3: return -EIO not -ESTALE on directory traversal through deleted inode
ext3_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to
report errors to NFS properly.  However, in ext[234]_lookup(), this
-ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such
that a directory entry references a deleted inode.  This leads to a
misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the
part of the admin.

The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a
link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls
-l said link.

This patch thus changes ext3_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE
from ext3_iget(), as ext3 does for other filesystem metadata corruption;
and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is
detected.

d2caa3c549 writeback: guard against jiffies wraparound on inode->dirtied_when checks (try #3)
The dirtied_when value on an inode is supposed to represent the first time
that an inode has one of its pages dirtied.  This value is in units of
jiffies.  It's used in several places in the writeback code to determine
when to write out an inode.

The problem is that these checks assume that dirtied_when is updated
periodically.  If an inode is continuously being used for I/O it can be
persistently marked as dirty and will continue to age.  Once the time
compared to is greater than or equal to half the maximum of the jiffies
type, the logic of the time_*() macros inverts and the opposite of what is
needed is returned.  On 32-bit architectures that's just under 25 days
(assuming HZ == 1000).

As the least-recently dirtied inode, it'll end up being the first one that
pdflush will try to write out.  sync_sb_inodes does this check:

	/* Was this inode dirtied after sync_sb_inodes was called? */
 	if (time_after(inode->dirtied_when, start))
 		break;

...but now dirtied_when appears to be in the future.  sync_sb_inodes bails
out without attempting to write any dirty inodes.  When this occurs,
pdflush will stop writing out inodes for this superblock.  Nothing can
unwedge it until jiffies moves out of the problematic window.

This patch fixes this problem by changing the checks against dirtied_when
to also check whether it appears to be in the future.  If it does, then we
consider the value to be far in the past.

This should shrink the problematic window of time to such a small period
(30s) as not to matter.

b6fac63cc1 vfs: skip I_CLEAR state inodes
clear_inode() will switch inode state from I_FREEING to I_CLEAR, and do so
_outside_ of inode_lock.  So any I_FREEING testing is incomplete without a
coupled testing of I_CLEAR.

So add I_CLEAR tests to drop_pagecache_sb(), generic_sync_sb_inodes() and
add_dquot_ref().

Masayoshi MIZUMA discovered the bug in drop_pagecache_sb() and Jan Kara
reminds fixing the other two cases.

Masayoshi MIZUMA has a nice panic flow:

33e5d76979 nommu: fix a number of issues with the per-MM VMA patch
Fix a number of issues with the per-MM VMA patch:

 (1) Make mmap_pages_allocated an atomic_long_t, just in case this is used on
     a NOMMU system with more than 2G pages.  Makes no difference on a 32-bit
     system.

 (2) Report vma->vm_pgoff * PAGE_SIZE as a 64-bit value, not a 32-bit value,
     lest it overflow.

 (3) Move the allocation of the vm_area_struct slab back for fork.c.

 (4) Use KMEM_CACHE() for both vm_area_struct and vm_region slabs.

 (5) Use BUG_ON() rather than if () BUG().

 (6) Make the default validate_nommu_regions() a static inline rather than a
     #define.

 (7) Make free_page_series()'s objection to pages with a refcount != 1 more
     informative.

 (8) Adjust the __put_nommu_region() banner comment to indicate that the
     semaphore must be held for writing.

 (9) Limit the number of warnings about munmaps of non-mmapped regions.

8f63aaa8b9 autofs4: fix lookup deadlock
A deadlock can occur when user space uses a signal (autofs version 4 uses
SIGCHLD for this) to effect expire completion.

The order of events is:

Expire process completes, but before being able to send SIGCHLD to it's parent
...

Another process walks onto a different mount point and drops the directory
inode semaphore prior to sending the request to the daemon as it must ...

A third process does an lstat on on the expired mount point causing it to wait
on expire completion (unfortunately) holding the directory semaphore.

The mount request then arrives at the daemon which does an lstat and,
deadlock.

For some time I was concerned about releasing the directory semaphore around
the expire wait in autofs4_lookup as well as for the mount call back.  I
finally realized that the last round of changes in this function made the
expiring dentry and the lookup dentry separate and distinct so the check and
possible wait can be done anywhere prior to the mount call back.  This patch
moves the check to just before the mount call back and inside the directory
inode mutex release.

bcd0b235bf eventfd: improve support for semaphore-like behavior
People started using eventfd in a semaphore-like way where before they
were using pipes.

That is, counter-based resource access.  Where a "wait()" returns
immediately by decrementing the counter by one, if counter is greater than
zero.  Otherwise will wait.  And where a "post(count)" will add count to
the counter releasing the appropriate amount of waiters.  If eventfd the
"post" (write) part is fine, while the "wait" (read) does not dequeue 1,
but the whole counter value.

The problem with eventfd is that a read() on the fd returns and wipes the
whole counter, making the use of it as semaphore a little bit more
cumbersome.  You can do a read() followed by a write() of COUNTER-1, but
IMO it's pretty easy and cheap to make this work w/out extra steps.  This
patch introduces a new eventfd flag that tells eventfd to only dequeue 1
from the counter, allowing simple read/write to make it behave like a
semaphore.  Simple test here:

http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-sem.c

To be back-compatible with earlier kernels, userspace applications should
probe for the availability of this feature via

#ifdef EFD_SEMAPHORE
	fd = eventfd2 (CNT, EFD_SEMAPHORE);
	if (fd == -1 && errno == EINVAL)
		<fallback>
#else
		<fallback>
#endif

d1bc90dd5d epoll: remove unnecessary xchg
xchg in ep_unregister_pollwait() is unnecessary because it is protected by
either epmutex or ep->mtx (the same protection as ep_remove()).

If xchg was necessary, it would be insufficient to protect against
problems: if multiple concurrent calls to ep_unregister_pollwait() were
possible then a second caller that returns without doing anything because
nwait == 0 could return before the waitqueues are removed by the first
caller, which looks like it could lead to problematic races with
ep_poll_callback().

So remove xchg and add comments about the locking.

d030588282 epoll: remember the event if epoll_wait returns -EFAULT
If epoll_wait returns -EFAULT, the event that was being returned when the
fault was encountered will be forgotten.  This is not a big deal since
EFAULT will happen only if a buggy userspace program passes in a bad
address, in which case what happens later usually doesn't matter.
However, it is easy to remember the event for later, and this patch makes
a simple change to do that.

abff55cee1 epoll: don't use current in irq context
ep_call_nested() (formerly ep_poll_safewake()) uses "current" (without
dereferencing it) to detect callback recursion, but it may be called from
irq context where the use of current is generally discouraged.  It would
be better to use get_cpu() and put_cpu() to detect the callback recursion.

5071f97ec6 epoll: fix epoll's own poll
Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even
though there are no actual ready monitored fds.  The bug shows up if you
add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll).

The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry
(patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that
actually happened.  So the callback code, since it can't call the file*
->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list.

So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on
the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via
wakeup callback).  During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is
sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s
f_op->poll().

Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check
!list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to
reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following
epoll_wait().  In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll
fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event
would be ready in a following epoll_wait().

Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake
ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be
added to other epoll fds.

c2d7543851 filesystem freeze: allow SysRq emergency thaw to thaw frozen filesystems
Now that the filesystem freeze operation has been elevated to the VFS, and
is just an ioctl away, some sort of safety net for unintentionally frozen
root filesystems may be in order.

The timeout thaw originally proposed did not get merged, but perhaps
something like this would be useful in emergencies.

For example, freeze /path/to/mountpoint may freeze your root filesystem if
you forgot that you had that unmounted.

I chose 'j' as the last remaining character other than 'h' which is sort
of reserved for help (because help is generated on any unknown character).

I've tested this on a non-root fs with multiple (nested) freezers, as well
as on a system rendered unresponsive due to a frozen root fs.

327c0e9686 vmscan: fix it to take care of nodemask
try_to_free_pages() is used for the direct reclaim of up to
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages when watermarks are low.  The caller to
alloc_pages_nodemask() can specify a nodemask of nodes that are allowed to
be used but this is not passed to try_to_free_pages().  This can lead to
unnecessary reclaim of pages that are unusable by the caller and int the
worst case lead to allocation failure as progress was not been make where
it is needed.

This patch passes the nodemask used for alloc_pages_nodemask() to
try_to_free_pages().

56a76f8275 fs: fix page_mkwrite error cases in core code and btrfs
page_mkwrite is called with neither the page lock nor the ptl held.  This
means a page can be concurrently truncated or invalidated out from
underneath it.  Callers are supposed to prevent truncate races themselves,
however previously the only thing they can do in case they hit one is to
raise a SIGBUS.  A sigbus is wrong for the case that the page has been
invalidated or truncated within i_size (eg.  hole punched).  Callers may
also have to perform memory allocations in this path, where again, SIGBUS
would be wrong.

The previous patch ("mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault")
made it possible to properly specify errors.  Convert the generic buffer.c
code and btrfs to return sane error values (in the case of page removed
from pagecache, VM_FAULT_NOPAGE will cause the fault handler to exit
without doing anything, and the fault will be retried properly).

This fixes core code, and converts btrfs as a template/example.  All other
filesystems defining their own page_mkwrite should be fixed in a similar
manner.

c2ec175c39 mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault
Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
VM_FAULT_xxx flags.  There should be no functional change.

This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to
the VM (and also can provide more information eg.  virtual_address to the
driver, which might be important in some special cases).

This is required for a subsequent fix.  And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

Fix hugetlb subsystem so that non root users belonging to
hugetlb_shm_group can actually allocate hugetlb backed shm.

Currently non root users cannot even map one large page using SHM_HUGETLB
when they belong to the gid in /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_shm_group.  This is
because allocation size is verified against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK resource limit
even if the user belongs to hugetlb_shm_group.

This patch
1. Fixes hugetlb subsystem so that users with CAP_IPC_LOCK and users
   belonging to hugetlb_shm_group don't need to be restricted with
   RLIMIT_MEMLOCK resource limits
2. This patch also disables mlock based rlimit checking (which will
   be reinstated and marked deprecated in a subsequent patch).

ae149b6bec proc tty: add struct tty_operations::proc_fops
Used for gradual switch of TTY drivers from using ->read_proc which helps
with gradual switch from ->read_proc for the whole tree.

As side effect, fix possible race condition when ->data initialized after
PDE is hooked into proc tree.

->proc_fops takes precedence over ->read_proc.

d57e62b897 Btrfs: try to free metadata pages when we free btree blocks
COW means we cycle though blocks fairly quickly, and once we
free an extent on disk, it doesn't make much sense to keep the pages around.

This commit tries to immediately free the page when we free the extent,
which lowers our memory footprint significantly.

5a3f23d515 Btrfs: add extra flushing for renames and truncates
Renames and truncates are both common ways to replace old data with new
data.  The filesystem can make an effort to make sure the new data is
on disk before actually replacing the old data.

This is especially important for rename, which many application use as
though it were atomic for both the data and the metadata involved.  The
current btrfs code will happily replace a file that is fully on disk
with one that was just created and still has pending IO.

If we crash after transaction commit but before the IO is done, we'll end
up replacing a good file with a zero length file.  The solution used
here is to create a list of inodes that need special ordering and force
them to disk before the commit is done.  This is similar to the
ext3 style data=ordering, except it is only done on selected files.

Btrfs is able to get away with this because it does not wait on commits
very often, even for fsync (which use a sub-commit).

For renames, we order the file when it wasn't already
on disk and when it is replacing an existing file.  Larger files
are sent to filemap_flush right away (before the transaction handle is
opened).

For truncates, we order if the file goes from non-zero size down to
zero size.  This is a little different, because at the time of the
truncate the file has no dirty bytes to order.  But, we flag the inode
so that it is added to the ordered list on close (via release method).  We
also immediately add it to the ordered list of the current transaction
so that we can try to flush down any writes the application sneaks in
before commit.

99b7623380 proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner
Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.

We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.

But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.

->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.

rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.

Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.

So, let's nuke it.

Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

3dec7f59c3 proc 1/2: do PDE usecounting even for ->read_proc, ->write_proc
struct proc_dir_entry::owner is going to be removed. Now it's only necessary
to protect PDEs which are using ->read_proc, ->write_proc hooks.

However, ->owner assignments are racy and make it very easy for someone to switch
->owner on live PDE (as some subsystems do) without fixing refcounts and so on.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454

So, ->owner is on death row.

Proxy file operations exist already (proc_file_operations), just bump usecount
when necessary.
