This fixes some instances where we were continuing after calling
ext2_error. ext2_error call panic only if errors=panic mount option is
set. So we need to make sure we return correctly after ext2_error call.

Following comment is at fs/inotify_user.c:287
/* coalescing: drop this event if it is a dupe of the previous */
I think the previous event in the comment should be the last event in the
link list. But inotify_dev_get_event return the first event in the list.
In addition, it doesn't check whether the list is empty

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().

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)

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.

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.

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.

Since I_SYNC was split out from I_LOCK, the concern in commit
4b89eed93e0fa40a63e3d7b1796ec1337ea7a3aa ("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()

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.

This makes a subset of physical page flags available to userspace. Together
with /proc/pid/kpagemap, this allows tracking of a wide variety of VM behaviors.
Exported flags are decoupled from the kernel's internal flags. This
allows us to reorder flag bits, and synthesize any bits that get
redefined in terms of other bits.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

Drivers that register a ->fault handler, but do not range-check the
offset argument, must set VM_DONTEXPAND in the vm_flags in order to
prevent an expanding mremap from overflowing the resource.
I've audited the tree and attempted to fix these problems (usually by
adding VM_DONTEXPAND where it is not obvious).

fcntl(F_GETLK,..) can return pid of process for not current pid namespace
(if process is belonged to the several namespaces). It is true also for
pids in /proc/locks. So correct behavior is saving pointer to the struct
pid of the process lock owner.

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.

For such a short function (with such a long comment),
posix_locks_deadlock() seems to cause a lot of confusion. Attempt to
make it a bit clearer:
- Remove the initial posix_same_owner() check, which can never
pass (since this is only called in the case that block_fl and
caller_fl conflict)
- Use an explicit loop (and a helper function) instead of a goto.
- Rewrite the comment, attempting a clearer explanation, and
removing some uninteresting historical detail.

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.

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.

Neither EPERM and ENOENT map to valid errors for PUTROOTFH according to
rfc 3530, and, if anything, ENOENT is likely to be slightly more
informative; so don't bother mapping ENOENT to EPERM. (Probably this
was originally done because one likely cause was that there is an fsid=0
export but that it isn't permitted to this particular client. Now that
we allow WRONGSEC returns, this is somewhat less likely.)
In the long term we should work to make this situation less likely,
perhaps by turning off nfsv4 service entirely in the absence of the
pseudofs root, or constructing a pseudofilesystem root ourselves in the
kernel as necessary.
Thanks to Benny Halevy <bhalevy@panasas.com> for pointing out this
problem.

Update the write handler for the portlist file to allow creating new
listening endpoints on a transport. The general form of the string is:
<transport_name><space><port number>
For example:
echo "tcp 2049" > /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist
This is intended to support the creation of a listening endpoint for
RDMA transports without adding #ifdef code to the nfssvc.c file.
Transports can also be removed as follows:
'-'<transport_name><space><port number>
For example:
echo "-tcp 2049" > /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist
Attempting to add a listener with an invalid transport string results
in EPROTONOSUPPORT and a perror string of "Protocol not supported".
Attempting to remove an non-existent listener (.e.g. bad proto or port)
results in ENOTCONN and a perror string of
"Transport endpoint is not connected"

Add a new svc function that allows a service to query whether a
transport instance has already been created. This is used in lockd
to determine whether or not a transport needs to be created when
a lockd instance is brought up.
Specifying 0 for the address family or port is effectively a wild-card,
and will result in matching the first transport in the service's list
that has a matching class name.

Move sk_list and sk_ready to svc_xprt. This involves close because these
lists are walked by svcs when closing all their transports. So I combined
the moving of these lists to svc_xprt with making close transport independent.
The svc_force_sock_close has been changed to svc_close_all and takes a list
as an argument. This removes some svc internals knowledge from the svcs.
This code races with module removal and transport addition.
Thanks to Simon Holm Thøgersen for a compile fix.
