Jeff Layton ce88cc5ed8 smbfs: fix calculation of kernel_recvmsg size parameter in smb_receive()
smb_receive calls kernel_recvmsg with a size that's the minimum of the
amount of buffer space in the kvec passed in or req->rq_rlen (which
represents the length of the response).  This does not take into account
any data that was read in a request earlier pass through smb_receive.

If the first pass through smb_receive receives some but not all of the
response, then the next pass can call kernel_recvmsg with a size field
that's too big.  kernel_recvmsg can overrun into the next response,
throwing off the alignment and making it unrecognizable.

This causes messages like this to pop up in the ring buffer:

smb_get_length: Invalid NBT packet, code=69

as well as other errors indicating that the response is unrecognizable.
Typically this is seen on a smbfs mount under heavy I/O.

This patch changes the code to use (req->rq_rlen - req->rq_bytes_recvd)
instead instead of just req->rq_rlen, since that should represent the
amount of unread data in the response.

I think this is correct, but an ACK or NACK from someone more familiar
with this code would be appreciated...

Andries E. Brouwer 0b03cfb25f MNT_UNBINDABLE fix
Some time ago ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/19/128 ) I wrote about
MNT_UNBINDABLE that it felt like a bug that it is not reset by "mount
--make-private".

Today I happened to see mount(8) and Documentation/sharedsubtree.txt and
both document the version obtained by applying the little patch given in
the above (and again below).

So, the present kernel code is not according to specs and must be regarded
as buggy.

Specification in Documentation/sharedsubtree.txt:
See state diagram: unbindable should become private upon make-private.

Specification in mount(8):
    ...  It's
    also possible to  set  up  uni-directional  propagation  (with  --make-
    slave),  to  make  a  mount  point unavailable for --bind/--rbind (with
    --make-unbindable), and to undo any  of  these  (with  --make-private).

Repeat of old fix-shared-subtrees-make-private.patch
(due to Dirk Gerrits, René Gabriëls, Peter Kooijmans):

Jan Engelhardt 19c561a60f fs/fat/: refine chmod checks
Prohibit mode changes in non-quiet mode that cannot be stored reliably with
the on-disk format.

Suppose a vfat filesystem is mounted with umask=0 and [not-quiet].  Then
all files will have mode 0777.  Trying to change the owner will fail,
because fat does not know about owners or groups.  chmod 0770, on the other
hand, will succeed, even though fat does not know about the permission
triplet [user/group/other].

So this patch changes fat's not-quiet behavior so that only UNIX modes are
accepted that can be mapped lossless between the fat disk format and the
local system.  There is only one attribute, and that is the readonly
attribute, which is mapped to the UNIX write permission bit(s).  chmod 0555
is therefore valid (taking away the +w bits <=> setting the readonly
attribute).  Since chmod 0775 and chmod 0755 is an ambiguous case as to
whether to set or clear the readonly bit, these modes are also denied.

In quiet mode, chmod and chown will continue to "succeed" as they did
before, meaning that a subsequent stat() will temporarily return the new
mode as long as the inode is not reread from disk, and chown will silently
do nothing, not even return the new uid/gid in stat().

Andrew Morgan e338d263a7 Add 64-bit capability support to the kernel
The patch supports legacy (32-bit) capability userspace, and where possible
translates 32-bit capabilities to/from userspace and the VFS to 64-bit
kernel space capabilities.  If a capability set cannot be compressed into
32-bits for consumption by user space, the system call fails, with -ERANGE.

FWIW libcap-2.00 supports this change (and earlier capability formats)

David P. Quigley 4bea58053f VFS: Reorder vfs_getxattr to avoid unnecessary calls to the LSM
Originally vfs_getxattr would pull the security xattr variable using
the inode getxattr handle and then proceed to clobber it with a subsequent call
to the LSM.

This patch reorders the two operations such that when the xattr requested is
in the security namespace it first attempts to grab the value from the LSM
directly.

If it fails to obtain the value because there is no module present or the
module does not support the operation it will fall back to using the inode
getxattr operation.

In the event that both are inaccessible it returns EOPNOTSUPP.

David P. Quigley 4249259404 VFS/Security: Rework inode_getsecurity and callers to return resulting buffer
This patch modifies the interface to inode_getsecurity to have the function
return a buffer containing the security blob and its length via parameters
instead of relying on the calling function to give it an appropriately sized
buffer.

Security blobs obtained with this function should be freed using the
release_secctx LSM hook.  This alleviates the problem of the caller having to
guess a length and preallocate a buffer for this function allowing it to be
used elsewhere for Labeled NFS.

The patch also removed the unused err parameter.  The conversion is similar to
the one performed by Al Viro for the security_getprocattr hook.

Fengguang Wu 8bc3be2751 writeback: speed up writeback of big dirty files
After making dirty a 100M file, the normal behavior is to start the
writeback for all data after 30s delays.  But sometimes the following
happens instead:

	- after 30s:    ~4M
	- after 5s:     ~4M
	- after 5s:     all remaining 92M

Some analyze shows that the internal io dispatch queues goes like this:

		s_io            s_more_io
		-------------------------
	1)	100M,1K         0
	2)	1K              96M
	3)	0               96M
1) initial state with a 100M file and a 1K file

2) 4M written, nr_to_write <= 0, so write more

3) 1K written, nr_to_write > 0, no more writes(BUG)

nr_to_write > 0 in (3) fools the upper layer to think that data have all
been written out.  The big dirty file is actually still sitting in
s_more_io.  We cannot simply splice s_more_io back to s_io as soon as s_io
becomes empty, and let the loop in generic_sync_sb_inodes() continue: this
may starve newly expired inodes in s_dirty.  It is also not an option to
draw inodes from both s_more_io and s_dirty, an let the loop go on: this
might lead to live locks, and might also starve other superblocks in sync
time(well kupdate may still starve some superblocks, that's another bug).

We have to return when a full scan of s_io completes.  So nr_to_write > 0
does not necessarily mean that "all data are written".  This patch
introduces a flag writeback_control.more_io to indicate that more io should
be done.  With it the big dirty file no longer has to wait for the next
kupdate invokation 5s later.

In sync_sb_inodes() we only set more_io on super_blocks we actually
visited.  This avoids the interaction between two pdflush deamons.

Also in __sync_single_inode() we don't blindly keep requeuing the io if the
filesystem cannot progress.  Failing to do so may lead to 100% iowait.

Qi Yong 2d544564f9 skip writing data pages when inode is under I_SYNC
Since I_SYNC was split out from I_LOCK, the concern in commit
4b89eed93e ("Write back inode data pages
even when the inode itself is locked") is not longer valid.

We should revert to the original behavior: in __writeback_single_inode(),
when we find an I_SYNC-ed inode and we're not doing a data-integrity sync,
skip writing entirely.  Otherwise, we are double calling do_writepages()

Andrea Arcangeli 7766755a2f Fix /proc dcache deadlock in do_exit
This patch fixes a sles9 system hang in start_this_handle from a customer
with some heavy workload where all tasks are waiting on kjournald to commit
the transaction, but kjournald waits on t_updates to go down to zero (it
never does).

This was reported as a lowmem shortage deadlock but when checking the debug
data I noticed the VM wasn't under pressure at all (well it was really
under vm pressure, because lots of tasks hanged in the VM prune_dcache
methods trying to flush dirty inodes, but no task was hanging in GFP_NOFS
mode, the holder of the journal handle should have if this was a vm issue
in the first place).

No task was apparently holding the leftover handle in the committing
transaction, so I deduced t_updates was stuck to 1 because a journal_stop
was never run by some path (this turned out to be correct).  With a debug
patch adding proper reverse links and stack trace logging in ext3 deployed
in production, I found journal_stop is never run because
mark_inode_dirty_sync is called inside release_task called by do_exit.
(that was quite fun because I would have never thought about this
subtleness, I thought a regular path in ext3 had a bug and it forgot to
call journal_stop)

do_exit->release_task->mark_inode_dirty_sync->schedule() (will never
come back to run journal_stop)

The reason is that shrink_dcache_parent is racy by design (feature not
a bug) and it can do blocking I/O in some case, but the point is that
calling shrink_dcache_parent at the last stage of do_exit isn't safe
for self-reaping tasks.

I guess the memory pressure of the unbalanced highmem system allowed
to trigger this more easily.

Now mainline doesn't have this line in iput (like sles9 has):

    	     if (inode->i_state & I_DIRTY_DELAYED)
	     			mark_inode_dirty_sync(inode);

so it will probably not crash with ext3, but for example ext2 implements an
I/O-blocking ext2_put_inode that will lead to similar screwups with
ext2_free_blocks never coming back and it's definitely wrong to call
blocking-IO paths inside do_exit.  So this should fix a subtle bug in
mainline too (not verified in practice though).  The equivalent fix for
ext3 is also not verified yet to fix the problem in sles9 but I don't have
doubt it will (it usually takes days to crash, so it'll take weeks to be
sure).

An alternate fix would be to offload that work to a kernel thread, but I
don't think a reschedule for this is worth it, the vm should be able to
collect those entries for the synchronous release_task.

Fengguang Wu ec4dd3eb35 maps4: add proportional set size accounting in smaps
The "proportional set size" (PSS) of a process is the count of pages it has
in memory, where each page is divided by the number of processes sharing
it.  So if a process has 1000 pages all to itself, and 1000 shared with one
other process, its PSS will be 1500.

               - lwn.net: "ELC: How much memory are applications really using?"

The PSS proposed by Matt Mackall is a very nice metic for measuring an
process's memory footprint.  So collect and export it via
/proc/<pid>/smaps.

Matt Mackall's pagemap/kpagemap and John Berthels's exmap can also do the
job.  They are comprehensive tools.  But for PSS, let's do it in the simple
way.

Allow sticky directory mount option for hugetlbfs.  This allows admin
to create a shared hugetlbfs mount point for multiple users, while
prevent accidental file deletion that users may step on each other.
It is similiar to default tmpfs mount option, or typical option used

Christoph Lameter b98938c373 bufferhead: revert constructor removal
The constructor for buffer_head slabs was removed recently.  We need the
constructor back in slab defrag in order to insure that slab objects always
have a definite state even before we allocated them.

I think we mistakenly merged the removal of the constuctor into a cleanup
patch.  You (ie: akpm) had a test that showed that the removal of the
constructor led to a small regression.  The prior state makes things easier
for slab defrag.

Christoph Lameter eebd2aa355 Pagecache zeroing: zero_user_segment, zero_user_segments and zero_user
Simplify page cache zeroing of segments of pages through 3 functions

zero_user_segments(page, start1, end1, start2, end2)

        Zeros two segments of the page. It takes the position where to
        start and end the zeroing which avoids length calculations and
	makes code clearer.

zero_user_segment(page, start, end)

        Same for a single segment.

zero_user(page, start, length)

        Length variant for the case where we know the length.

We remove the zero_user_page macro. Issues:

1. Its a macro. Inline functions are preferable.

2. The KM_USER0 macro is only defined for HIGHMEM.

   Having to treat this special case everywhere makes the
   code needlessly complex. The parameter for zeroing is always
   KM_USER0 except in one single case that we open code.

Avoiding KM_USER0 makes a lot of code not having to be dealing
with the special casing for HIGHMEM anymore. Dealing with
kmap is only necessary for HIGHMEM configurations. In those
configurations we use KM_USER0 like we do for a series of other
functions defined in highmem.h.

Since KM_USER0 is depends on HIGHMEM the existing zero_user_page
function could not be a macro. zero_user_* functions introduced
here can be be inline because that constant is not used when these
functions are called.

Also extract the flushing of the caches to be outside of the kmap.

Davide Libenzi 4d672e7ac7 timerfd: new timerfd API
This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:

int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
		    const struct itimerspec *utmr,
		    struct itimerspec *otmr);
int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);

The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd.  The "clockid"
parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.

The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
NULL).

The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
is set in the "flags" parameter.  Otherwise it's a relative time.

The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
{0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.

Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
supported (with the same interface).  Here's a simple test program I used to
exercise the new timerfd APIs:

Oleg Nesterov ed5d2cac11 exec: rework the group exit and fix the race with kill
As Roland pointed out, we have the very old problem with exec.  de_thread()
sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, kills other threads, changes ->group_leader and then
clears signal->flags.  All signals (even fatal ones) sent in this window
(which is not too small) will be lost.

With this patch exec doesn't abuse SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT.  signal_group_exit(),
the new helper, should be used to detect exit_group() or exec() in progress.
It can have more users, but this patch does only strictly necessary changes.

Since the epoll code is very careful to not nest same instance locks
allow the recursion.

interruptible_sleep_on_locked() is just an open-coded
wait_event_interruptible_timeout(), with the one difference that
interruptible_sleep_on_locked() doesn't bother to check the condition on
which it is waiting, depending instead on the BKL to avoid the case
where it blocks after the wakeup has already been called.

locks_block_on_timeout() is only used in one place, so it's actually
simpler to inline it into its caller.

	- Remove the initial posix_same_owner() check, which can never
	  pass (since this is only called in the case that block_fl and

	- Use an explicit loop (and a helper function) instead of a goto.

Jeff Layton d801b86168 NLM: tear down RPC clients in nlm_shutdown_hosts
It's possible for a RPC to outlive the lockd daemon that created it, so
we need to make sure that all RPC's are killed when lockd is coming
down. When nlm_shutdown_hosts is called, kill off all RPC tasks
associated with the host. Since we need to wait until they have all gone
away, we might as well just shut down the RPC client altogether.

J. Bruce Fields 87d26ea777 nfsd: more careful input validation in nfsctl write methods
Neil Brown points out that we're checking buf[size-1] in a couple places
without first checking whether size is zero.

Actually, given the implementation of simple_transaction_get(), buf[-1]
is zero, so in both of these cases the subsequent check of the value of
buf[size-1] will catch this case.

But it seems fragile to depend on that, so add explicit checks for this
case.
