c44ed965be compat breakage in preadv() and pwritev()
Fix for a dumb preadv()/pwritev() compat bug - unlike the native
variants, the compat_...  ones forget to check FMODE_P{READ,WRITE}, so
e.g.  on pipe the native preadv() will fail with -ESPIPE and compat one
will act as readv() and succeed.

Not critical, but it's a clear bug with trivial fix, so IMO it's OK for
-final.

36e39c40b3 Btrfs: break out of shrink_delalloc earlier
Josef had changed shrink_delalloc to exit after three shrink
attempts, which wasn't quite enough because new writers could
race in and steal free space.

But it also fixed deadlocks and stalls as we tried to recover
delalloc reservations.  The code was tweaked to loop 1024
times, and would reset the counter any time a small amount
of progress was made.  This was too drastic, and with a
lot of writers we can end up stuck in shrink_delalloc forever.

The shrink_delalloc loop is fairly complex because the caller is looping
too, and the caller will go ahead and force a transaction commit to make
sure we reclaim space.

This reworks things to exit shrink_delalloc when we've forced some
writeback and the delalloc reservations have gone down.  This means
the writeback has not just started but has also finished at
least some of the metadata changes required to reclaim delalloc
space.

If we've got this wrong, we're returning ENOSPC too early, which
is a big improvement over the current behavior of hanging the machine.

Test 224 in xfstests hammers on this nicely, and with 1000 writers
trying to fill a 1GB drive we get our first ENOSPC at 93% full.  The
other writers are able to continue until we get 100%.

This is a worst case test for btrfs because the 1000 writers are doing
small IO, and the small FS size means we don't have a lot of room
for metadata chunks.

7e6b6465e6 btrfs: fix not enough reserved space
btrfs_link() will insert 3 items(inode ref, dir name item and dir index item)
into the b+ tree and update 2 items(its inode, and parent's inode) in the b+
tree. So we should reserve space for these 5 items, not 3 items.

The btrfs DIO code leaks dip structs when dip->csums allocation
fails; bio->bi_end_io isn't set at the point where the free_ordered
branch is consequently taken, thus bio_endio doesn't call the function

d891eedbc3 fs/dcache: allow d_obtain_alias() to return unhashed dentries
Without this patch, inodes are not promptly freed on last close of an
unlinked file by an nfs client:

	client$ mount -tnfs4 server:/export/ /mnt/
	client$ tail -f /mnt/FOO
	...
	server$ df -i /export
	server$ rm /export/FOO
	(^C the tail -f)
	server$ df -i /export
	server$ echo 2 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
	server$ df -i /export

the df's will show that the inode is not freed on the filesystem until
the last step, when it could have been freed after killing the client's
tail -f. On-disk data won't be deallocated either, leading to possible
spurious ENOSPC.

This occurs because when the client does the close, it arrives in a
compound with a putfh and a close, processed like:

	- putfh: look up the filehandle.  The only alias found for the
	  inode will be DCACHE_UNHASHED alias referenced by the filp
	  this, so it creates a new DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry and
	  returns that instead.
	- close: closes the existing filp, which is destroyed
	  immediately by dput() since it's DCACHE_UNHASHED.
	- end of the compound: release the reference
	  to the current filehandle, and dput() the new
	  DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry, which gets put on the
	  unused list instead of being destroyed immediately.

Nick Piggin suggested fixing this by allowing d_obtain_alias to return
the unhashed dentry that is referenced by the filp, instead of making it
create a new dentry.

Leave __d_find_alias() alone to avoid changing behavior of other
callers.

Also nfsd doesn't need all the checks of __d_find_alias(); any dentry,
hashed or unhashed, disconnected or not, should work.

1ca551c6ca Check for immutable/append flag in fallocate path
In the fallocate path the kernel doesn't check for the immutable/append
flag. It's possible to have a race condition in this scenario: an
application open a file in read/write and it does something, meanwhile
root set the immutable flag on the file, the application at that point
can call fallocate with success. In addition, we don't allow to do any
unreserve operation on an append only file but only the reserve one.

ea8efc74bd Btrfs: make sure not to return overlapping extents to fiemap
The btrfs fiemap code was incorrectly returning duplicate or overlapping
extents in some cases.  cp was blindly trusting this result and we would
end up with a destination file that was bigger than the original because
some bytes were copied twice.

The fix here adjusts our offsets to make sure we're always moving
forward in the fiemap results.

dfef6dcd35 unfuck proc_sysctl ->d_compare()
a) struct inode is not going to be freed under ->d_compare();
however, the thing PROC_I(inode)->sysctl points to just might.
Fortunately, it's enough to make freeing that sucker delayed,
provided that we don't step on its ->unregistering, clear
the pointer to it in PROC_I(inode) before dropping the reference
and check if it's NULL in ->d_compare().

b) I'm not sure that we *can* walk into NULL inode here (we recheck
dentry->seq between verifying that it's still hashed / fetching
dentry->d_inode and passing it to ->d_compare() and there's no
negative hashed dentries in /proc/sys/*), but if we can walk into
that, we really should not have ->d_compare() return 0 on it!
Said that, I really suspect that this check can be simply killed.

In case of a nonempty list, the return on error here is obviously bogus;

then renew_client may oops, and it may take an embarassingly long time to

31339acd07 Btrfs: deal with short returns from copy_from_user
When copy_from_user is only able to copy some of the bytes we requested,
we may end up creating a partially up to date page.  To avoid garbage in
the page, we need to treat a partial copy as a zero length copy.

This makes the rest of the file_write code drop the page and
retry the whole copy instead of marking the partially up to
date page as dirty.

b1bf862e9d Btrfs: fix regressions in copy_from_user handling
Commit 914ee295af fixed deadlocks in
btrfs_file_write where we would catch page faults on pages we had
locked.

But, there were a few problems:

1) The x86-32 iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic code always fails to copy
data when the amount to copy is more than 4K and the offset to start
copying from is not page aligned.  The result was btrfs_file_write
looping forever retrying the iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic

We deal with this by changing btrfs_file_write to drop down to single
page copies when iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic starts returning failure.

2) The btrfs_file_write code was leaking delalloc reservations when
iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic returned zero.  The looping above would
result in the entire filesystem running out of delalloc reservations and
constantly trying to flush things to disk.

3) btrfs_file_write will lock down page cache pages, make sure
any writeback is finished, do the copy_from_user and then release them.
Before the loop runs we check the first and last pages in the write to
see if they are only being partially modified.  If the start or end of
the write isn't aligned, we make sure the corresponding pages are
up to date so that we don't introduce garbage into the file.

With the copy_from_user changes, we're allowing the VM to reclaim the
pages after a partial update from copy_from_user, but we're not
making sure the page cache page is up to date when we loop around to
resume the write.

We deal with this by pushing the up to date checks down into the page
prep code.  This fits better with how the rest of file_write works.

e9e3d724e2 nfs4: Ensure that ACL pages sent over NFS were not allocated from the slab (v3)
The "bad_page()" page allocator sanity check was reported recently (call

  cpu_idle+0x95/0xb8
  start_kernel+0x220/0x225
  _sinittext+0x22f/0x236

It occurs because an skb with a fraglist was freed from the tcp
retransmit queue when it was acked, but a page on that fraglist had
PG_Slab set (indicating it was allocated from the Slab allocator (which
means the free path above can't safely free it via put_page.

We tracked this back to an nfsv4 setacl operation, in which the nfs code
attempted to fill convert the passed in buffer to an array of pages in
__nfs4_proc_set_acl, which gets used by the skb->frags list in
xs_sendpages.  __nfs4_proc_set_acl just converts each page in the buffer
to a page struct via virt_to_page, but the vfs allocates the buffer via
kmalloc, meaning the PG_slab bit is set.  We can't create a buffer with
kmalloc and free it later in the tcp ack path with put_page, so we need
to either:

1) ensure that when we create the list of pages, no page struct has
   PG_Slab set

 or

2) not use a page list to send this data

Given that these buffers can be multiple pages and arbitrarily sized, I
think (1) is the right way to go.  I've written the below patch to
allocate a page from the buddy allocator directly and copy the data over
to it.  This ensures that we have a put_page free-able page for every
entry that winds up on an skb frag list, so it can be safely freed when
the frame is acked.  We do a put page on each entry after the
rpc_call_sync call so as to drop our own reference count to the page,
leaving only the ref count taken by tcp_sendpages.  This way the data
will be properly freed when the ack comes in

Successfully tested by myself to solve the above oops.

Note, as this is the result of a setacl operation that exceeded a page
of data, I think this amounts to a local DOS triggerable by an
uprivlidged user, so I'm CCing security on this as well.

1858efd471 minimal fix for do_filp_open() race
failure exits on the no-O_CREAT side of do_filp_open() merge with
those of O_CREAT one; unfortunately, if do_path_lookup() returns
-ESTALE, we'll get out_filp:, notice that we are about to return
-ESTALE without having trying to create the sucker with LOOKUP_REVAL
and jump right into the O_CREAT side of code.  And proceed to try
and create a file.  Usually that'll fail with -ESTALE again, but
we can race and get that attempt of pathname resolution to succeed.

open() without O_CREAT really shouldn't end up creating files, races
or not.  The real fix is to rearchitect the whole do_filp_open(),
but for now splitting the failure exits will do.

8aaccf7fa2 of/flattree: Drop an uninteresting message to pr_debug level
This message looks like an error (which it isn't) when booting with a
flattened device tree.  Remove the message from normal kernel builds.

e8a80c6f76 ext2: Fix link count corruption under heavy link+rename load
vfs_rename_other() does not lock renamed inode with i_mutex. Thus changing
i_nlink in a non-atomic manner (which happens in ext2_rename()) can corrupt
it as reported and analyzed by Josh.

In fact, there is no good reason to mess with i_nlink of the moved file.
We did it presumably to simulate linking into the new directory and unlinking
from an old one. But the practical effect of this is disputable because fsck
can possibly treat file as being properly linked into both directories without
writing any error which is confusing. So we just stop increment-decrement
games with i_nlink which also fixes the corruption.

af24ee9ea8 xfs: zero proper structure size for geometry calls
Commit 493f3358cb added this call to
xfs_fs_geometry() in order to avoid passing kernel stack data back
to user space:

+       memset(geo, 0, sizeof(*geo));

Unfortunately, one of the callers of that function passes the
address of a smaller data type, cast to fit the type that
xfs_fs_geometry() requires.  As a result, this can happen:

Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted
in: f87aca93

Pid: 262, comm: xfs_fsr Not tainted 2.6.38-rc6-493f3358cb2+ #1
Call Trace:

[<c12991ac>] ? panic+0x50/0x150
[<c102ed71>] ? __stack_chk_fail+0x10/0x18
[<f87aca93>] ? xfs_ioc_fsgeometry_v1+0x56/0x5d [xfs]

Fix this by fixing that one caller to pass the right type and then
copy out the subset it is interested in.

Note: This patch is an alternative to one originally proposed by
Eric Sandeen.

72746ac643 nilfs2: fix regression that i-flag is not set on changeless checkpoints
According to the report from Jiro SEKIBA titled "regression in
2.6.37?"  (Message-Id: <8739n8vs1f.wl%jir@sekiba.com>), on 2.6.37 and
later kernels, lscp command no longer displays "i" flag on checkpoints
that snapshot operations or garbage collection created.

This is a regression of nilfs2 checkpointing function, and it's
critical since it broke behavior of a part of nilfs2 applications.
For instance, snapshot manager of TimeBrowse gets to create
meaningless snapshots continuously; snapshot creation triggers another
checkpoint, but applications cannot distinguish whether the new
checkpoint contains meaningful changes or not without the i-flag.

This patch fixes the regression and brings that application behavior
back to normal.
