6510c9d859 autofs4: cleanup active and expire lookup
The lookup functions for active and expiring dentrys use parameters that
can be easily obtained on entry so we change the call to to take just the
dentry.  This makes the subsequent change, to send all lookups to
->lookup(), a bit cleaner.

aa952eb26d autofs4: use autofs_info for pending flag
Eliminate the use of the d_lock spin lock by using the autofs super block
info spin lock.  This reduces the number of spin locks we use by one and
makes the code for the following patch (to redirect ->d_revalidate() to
->lookup()) a little simpler.

135d5655dc proc: rename de_get() to pde_get() and inline it
* de_get() is trivial -- make inline, save a few bits of code, drop
  "refcount is 0" check -- it should be done in some generic refcount
  code, don't recall it's was helpful

* rename GET and PUT functions to pde_get(), pde_put() for cool prefix!

* remove obvious and incorrent comments

* in remove_proc_entry() use pde_put(), when I fixed PDE refcounting to
  be normal one, remove_proc_entry() was supposed to do "-1" and code now
  reflects that.

e7d2860b69 tree-wide: convert open calls to remove spaces to skip_spaces() lib function
Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading
spaces from strings all over the tree.

It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  64688     584     592   65864   10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE)
  64641     584     592   65817   10119 (TOTALS-AFTER)

Also, while at it, if we see (*str && isspace(*str)), we can be sure to
remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also
evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words,
"a char equals zero is never a space".

Julia Lawall tried the semantic patch (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr) below,
and found occurrences of this pattern on 3 more files:
    drivers/leds/led-class.c
    drivers/leds/ledtrig-timer.c
    drivers/video/output.c

@@
expression str;
@@

( // ignore skip_spaces cases
while (*str &&  isspace(*str)) { \(str++;\|++str;\) }

- *str &&

4614a696bd procfs: allow threads to rename siblings via /proc/pid/tasks/tid/comm
Setting a thread's comm to be something unique is a very useful ability
and is helpful for debugging complicated threaded applications.  However
currently the only way to set a thread name is for the thread to name
itself via the PR_SET_NAME prctl.

However, there may be situations where it would be advantageous for a
thread dispatcher to be naming the threads its managing, rather then
having the threads self-describe themselves.  This sort of behavior is
available on other systems via the pthread_setname_np() interface.

This patch exports a task's comm via proc/pid/comm and
proc/pid/task/tid/comm interfaces, and allows thread siblings to write to
these values.

ea63763959 nommu: fix malloc performance by adding uninitialized flag
The NOMMU code currently clears all anonymous mmapped memory.  While this
is what we want in the default case, all memory allocation from userspace
under NOMMU has to go through this interface, including malloc() which is
allowed to return uninitialized memory.  This can easily be a significant
performance penalty.  So for constrained embedded systems were security is
irrelevant, allow people to avoid clearing memory unnecessarily.

This also alters the ELF-FDPIC binfmt such that it obtains uninitialised
memory for the brk and stack region.

5dc37642cb mm hugetlb: add hugepage support to pagemap
This patch enables extraction of the pfn of a hugepage from
/proc/pid/pagemap in an architecture independent manner.

Details
-------
My test program (leak_pagemap) works as follows:
 - creat() and mmap() a file on hugetlbfs (file size is 200MB == 100 hugepages,)
 - read()/write() something on it,
 - call page-types with option -p,
 - munmap() and unlink() the file on hugetlbfs

Without my patches
------------------
$ ./leak_pagemap
             flags page-count       MB  symbolic-flags                     long-symbolic-flags

             total        101        0

The output of page-types don't show any hugepage.

With my patches
---------------
$ ./leak_pagemap
             flags page-count       MB  symbolic-flags                     long-symbolic-flags

             total      51300      200

The output of page-types shows 51200 pages contributing to hugepages,
containing 100 head pages and 51100 tail pages as expected.

ec81aecb29 hfs: fix a potential buffer overflow
A specially-crafted Hierarchical File System (HFS) filesystem could cause
a buffer overflow to occur in a process's kernel stack during a memcpy()
call within the hfs_bnode_read() function (at fs/hfs/bnode.c:24).  The
attacker can provide the source buffer and length, and the destination
buffer is a local variable of a fixed length.  This local variable (passed
as "&entry" from fs/hfs/dir.c:112 and allocated on line 60) is stored in
the stack frame of hfs_bnode_read()'s caller, which is hfs_readdir().
Because the hfs_readdir() function executes upon any attempt to read a
directory on the filesystem, it gets called whenever a user attempts to
inspect any filesystem contents.

0b1b213fcf xfs: event tracing support
Convert the old xfs tracing support that could only be used with the
out of tree kdb and xfsidbg patches to use the generic event tracer.

To use it make sure CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING is enabled and then enable
all xfs trace channels by:

   echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/enable

or alternatively enable single events by just doing the same in one
event subdirectory, e.g.

   echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/xfs_ihold/enable

or set more complex filters, etc. In Documentation/trace/events.txt
all this is desctribed in more detail.  To reads the events do a

   cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

Compared to the last posting this patch converts the tracing mostly to
the one tracepoint per callsite model that other users of the new
tracing facility also employ.  This allows a very fine-grained control
of the tracing, a cleaner output of the traces and also enables the
perf tool to use each tracepoint as a virtual performance counter,
     allowing us to e.g. count how often certain workloads git various
     spots in XFS.  Take a look at

    http://lwn.net/Articles/346470/

for some examples.

Also the btree tracing isn't included at all yet, as it will require
additional core tracing features not in mainline yet, I plan to
deliver it later.

And the really nice thing about this patch is that it actually removes
many lines of code while adding this nice functionality:

6ef3554422 xfs: change the xfs_iext_insert / xfs_iext_remove
Change the xfs_iext_insert / xfs_iext_remove prototypes to pass more
information which will allow pushing the trace points from the callers
into those functions.  This includes folding the whichfork information
into the state variable to minimize the addition stack footprint.

2c948b3f86 udf: Avoid IO in udf_clear_inode
It is not very good to do IO in udf_clear_inode. First, VFS does not really
expect inode to become dirty there and thus we have to write it ourselves,
second, memory reclaim gets blocked waiting for IO when it does not really
expect it, third, the IO pattern (e.g. on umount) resulting from writes in
udf_clear_inode is bad and it slows down writing a lot.

The reason why UDF needed to do IO in udf_clear_inode is that UDF standard
mandates extent length to exactly match inode size. But when we allocate
extents to a file or directory, we don't really know what exactly the final
file size will be and thus temporarily set it to block boundary and later
truncate it to exact length in udf_clear_inode. Now, this is changed to
truncate to final file size in udf_release_file for regular files. For
directories and symlinks, we do the truncation at the moment when learn
what the final file size will be.

e971b0b9e0 udf: Try harder when looking for VAT inode
Some disks do not contain VAT inode in the last recorded block as required
by the standard but a few blocks earlier (or the number of recorded blocks
is wrong). So look for the VAT inode a bit before the end of the media.

edfacdd6f8 devpts_get_tty() should validate inode
devpts_get_tty() assumes that the inode passed in is associated with a valid
pty.  But if the only reference to the pty is via a bind-mount, the inode
passed to devpts_get_tty() while valid, would refer to a pty that no longer
exists.

With a lot of debug effort, Grzegorz Nosek developed a small program (see
below) to reproduce a crash on recent kernels. This crash is a regression
introduced by the commit:

	commit 527b3e4773
	Author: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@us.ibm.com>
	Date:   Mon Oct 13 10:43:08 2008 +0100

To fix, ensure that the dentry associated with the inode has not yet been
deleted/unhashed by devpts_pty_kill().

6ad112bfb5 xfs: simplify xfs_buf_get / xfs_buf_read interfaces
Currently the low-level buffer cache interfaces are highly confusing
as we have a _flags variant of each that does actually respect the
flags, and one without _flags which has a flags argument that gets
ignored and overriden with a default set.  Given that very few places
use the default arguments get rid of the duplication and convert all
callers to pass the flags explicitly.  Also remove the now confusing

fc5bc4c85c xfs: Wrapped journal record corruption on read at recovery
Summary of problem:

If a journal record wraps at the physical end of the journal, it has to be
read in two parts in xlog_do_recovery_pass(): a read at the physical end and a
read at the physical beginning.  If xlog_bread() has to re-align the first
read, the second read request does not take that re-alignment into account.
If the first read was re-aligned, the second read over-writes the end of the
data from the first read, effectively corrupting it.  This can happen either
when reading the record header or reading the record data.

The first sanity check in xlog_recover_process_data() is to check for a valid
clientid, so that is the error reported.

Summary of fix:

If there was a first read at the physical end, XFS_BUF_PTR() returns where the
data was requested to begin.  Conversely, because it is the result of
xlog_align(), offset indicates where the requested data for the first read
actually begins - whether or not xlog_bread() has re-aligned it.

Using offset as the base for the calculation of where to place the second read
data ensures that it will be correctly placed immediately following the data
from the first read instead of sometimes over-writing the end of it.

The attached patch has resolved the reported problem of occasional inability
to recover the journal (reporting "bad clientid").

5ec4fabb02 xfs: cleanup data end I/O handlers
Currently we have different end I/O handlers for read vs the different
types of write I/O.  But they are all very similar so we could just
use one with a few conditionals and reduce code size a lot.

06342cf8ad xfs: use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG for synchronous writeout
The VM and I/O schedulers now expect us to use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG for
synchronous writeout.  Right now I can't see any changes in performance
numbers with this, but we're getting some beating for not using it,
and the knowledge definitely could help the block code to make better
decisions.

033da48fda xfs: reset the i_iolock lock class in the reclaim path
The iolock is used for protecting reads, writes and block truncates
against each other.  We have two classes of callers, the first one is
induced by a file operation and requires a reference to the inode be
held and not dropped after the operation is done:

 - xfs_vm_vmap, xfs_vn_fallocate, xfs_read, xfs_write, xfs_splice_read,
   xfs_splice_write and xfs_setattr are all implementations of VFS
   methods that require a live inode
 - xfs_getbmap and xfs_swap_extents are ioctl subcommand for which the
   same is true
 - xfs_truncate_file is only called on quota inodes just returned from
   xfs_iget
 - xfs_sync_inode_data does the lock just after an igrab()
 - xfs_filestream_associate and xfs_filestream_new_ag take the iolock
   on the parent inode of an inode which by VFS rules must be referenced

And we have various calls to truncate blocks past EOF or the whole
file when dropping the last reference to an inode.  Unfortunately
lockdep complains when we do memory allocations that can recurse into
the filesystem in the first class because the second class happens to
take the same lock.  To avoid this re-init the iolock in the beginning
of xfs_fs_clear_inode to get a new lock class.

80641dc66a xfs: I/O completion handlers must use NOFS allocations
When completing I/O requests we must not allow the memory allocator to
recurse into the filesystem, as we might deadlock on waiting for the
I/O completion otherwise.  The only thing currently allocating normal
GFP_KERNEL memory is the allocation of the transaction structure for
the unwritten extent conversion.  Add a memflags argument to
_xfs_trans_alloc to allow controlling the allocator behaviour.
