Pull filesystem notification updates from Eric Paris:
"This pull mostly is about locking changes in the fsnotify system. By
switching the group lock from a spin_lock() to a mutex() we can now
hold the lock across things like iput(). This fixes a problem
involving unmounting a fs and having inodes be busy, first pointed out
by FAT, but reproducible with tmpfs.
This also restores signal driven I/O for inotify, which has been
broken since about 2.6.32."
Ugh. I *hate* the timing of this. It was rebased after the merge
window opened, and then left to sit with the pull request coming the day
before the merge window closes. That's just crap. But apparently the
patches themselves have been around for over a year, just gathering
dust, so now it's suddenly critical.
Fixed up semantic conflict in fs/notify/fdinfo.c as per Stephen
Rothwell's fixes from -next.

Commit 263a523d18bc ("linux/kernel.h: Fix warning seen with W=1 due to
change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST") fixes a warning seen with W=1 due to
change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST.
Unfortunately, the C compiler converts divide operations with unsigned
divisors to unsigned, even if the dividend is signed and negative (for
example, -10 / 5U = 858993457). The C standard says "If one operand has
unsigned int type, the other operand is converted to unsigned int", so
the compiler is not to blame. As a result, DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U) and
similar operations now return bad values, since the automatic conversion
of expressions such as "0 - 2U/2" to unsigned was not taken into
account.
Fix by checking for the divisor variable type when deciding which
operation to perform. This fixes DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U), but still
returns bad values for negative dividends divided by unsigned divisors.
Mark the latter case as unsupported.
One observed effect of this problem is that the s2c_hwmon driver reports
a value of 4198403 instead of 0 if the ADC reads 0.
Other impact is unpredictable. Problem is seen if the divisor is an
unsigned variable or constant and the dividend is less than (divisor/2).

If a series of scripts are executed, each triggering module loading via
unprintable bytes in the script header, kernel stack contents can leak
into the command line.
Normally execution of binfmt_script and binfmt_misc happens recursively.
However, when modules are enabled, and unprintable bytes exist in the
bprm->buf, execution will restart after attempting to load matching
binfmt modules. Unfortunately, the logic in binfmt_script and
binfmt_misc does not expect to get restarted. They leave bprm->interp
pointing to their local stack. This means on restart bprm->interp is
left pointing into unused stack memory which can then be copied into the
userspace argv areas.
After additional study, it seems that both recursion and restart remains
the desirable way to handle exec with scripts, misc, and modules. As
such, we need to protect the changes to interp.
This changes the logic to require allocation for any changes to the
bprm->interp. To avoid adding a new kmalloc to every exec, the default
value is left as-is. Only when passing through binfmt_script or
binfmt_misc does an allocation take place.
For a proof of concept, see DoTest.sh from:

This function is expected to be called from path-based syscalls to help
them decide whether to try the lookup and call again in the event that
they got an -ESTALE return back on an earier try.
Currently, we only retry the call once on an ESTALE error, but in the
event that we decide that that's not enough in the future, we should be
able to change the logic in this helper without too much effort.

Pull nfsd update from Bruce Fields:
"Included this time:
- more nfsd containerization work from Stanislav Kinsbursky: we're
not quite there yet, but should be by 3.9.
- NFSv4.1 progress: implementation of basic backchannel security
negotiation and the mandatory BACKCHANNEL_CTL operation. See
http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues
for remaining TODO's
- Fixes for some bugs that could be triggered by unusual compounds.
Our xdr code wasn't designed with v4 compounds in mind, and it
shows. A more thorough rewrite is still a todo.
- If you've ever seen "RPC: multiple fragments per record not
supported" logged while using some sort of odd userland NFS client,
that should now be fixed.
- Further work from Jeff Layton on our mechanism for storing
information about NFSv4 clients across reboots.
- Further work from Bryan Schumaker on his fault-injection mechanism
(which allows us to discard selective NFSv4 state, to excercise
rarely-taken recovery code paths in the client.)
- The usual mix of miscellaneous bugs and cleanup.
Thanks to everyone who tested or contributed this cycle."

Provide a proper invalidation method rather than relying on the netfs retiring
the cookie it has and getting a new one. The problem with this is that isn't
easy for the netfs to make sure that it has completed/cancelled all its
outstanding storage and retrieval operations on the cookie it is retiring.
Instead, have the cache provide an invalidation method that will cancel or wait
for all currently outstanding operations before invalidating the cache, and
will cause new operations to queue up behind that. Whilst invalidation is in
progress, some requests will be rejected until the cache can stack a barrier on
the operation queue to cause new operations to be deferred behind it.

Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of
what operations are in what states.
This is done by:
(1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the
state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch
of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is
queued or not.
This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various
points and to prevent invalid state transitions.
(2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the
completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call
it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op
in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled).
(3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better
govern the state of an object:
(a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object
and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only.
(b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been
taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being
run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only.
(c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been
submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by
fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op().
fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to
clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double
decrements against fscache_cancel_op().
fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to
double decrements against fscache_put_operation().
fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op
based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter
will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been
cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are
runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running.
(4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and
provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete.
When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and
fscache_op_complete() is called.
Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a
page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where
we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where
accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page.
The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the
following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the
cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns
all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's
nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

Pull new F2FS filesystem from Jaegeuk Kim:
"Introduce a new file system, Flash-Friendly File System (F2FS), to
Linux 3.8.
Highlights:
- Add initial f2fs source codes
- Fix an endian conversion bug
- Fix build failures on random configs
- Fix the power-off-recovery routine
- Minor cleanup, coding style, and typos patches"
From the Kconfig help text:
F2FS is based on Log-structured File System (LFS), which supports
versatile "flash-friendly" features. The design has been focused on
addressing the fundamental issues in LFS, which are snowball effect
of wandering tree and high cleaning overhead.
Since flash-based storages show different characteristics according to
the internal geometry or flash memory management schemes aka FTL, F2FS
and tools support various parameters not only for configuring on-disk
layout, but also for selecting allocation and cleaning algorithms.

Under some circumstances CacheFiles defers the marking of pages with PG_fscache
so that it can take advantage of pagevecs to reduce the number of calls to
fscache_mark_pages_cached() and the netfs's hook to keep track of this.
There are, however, two problems with this:
(1) It can lead to the PG_fscache mark being applied _after_ the page is set
PG_uptodate and unlocked (by the call to fscache_end_io()).
(2) CacheFiles's ref on the page is dropped immediately following
fscache_end_io() - and so may not still be held when the mark is applied.
This can lead to the page being passed back to the allocator before the
mark is applied.
Fix this by, where appropriate, marking the page before calling
fscache_end_io() and releasing the page. This means that we can't take
advantage of pagevecs and have to make a separate call for each page to the
marking routines.
The symptoms of this are Bad Page state errors cropping up under memory
pressure, for example:
BUG: Bad page state in process tar pfn:002da
page:ffffea0000009fb0 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping: (null) index:0x1447
page flags: 0x1000(private_2)

[<ffffffff813ac37b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
As can be seen, PG_private_2 (== PG_fscache) is set in the page flags.
Instrumenting fscache_mark_pages_cached() to verify whether page->mapping was
set appropriately showed that sometimes it wasn't. This led to the discovery
that sometimes the page has apparently been reclaimed by the time the marker
got to see it.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu
Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel:
"A few new features this merge-window. The most important one is
probably, that dma-debug now warns if a dma-handle is not checked with
dma_mapping_error by the device driver. This requires minor changes
to some architectures which make use of dma-debug. Most of these
changes have the respective Acks by the Arch-Maintainers.
Besides that there are updates to the AMD IOMMU driver for refactor
the IOMMU-Groups support and to make sure it does not trigger a
hardware erratum.
The OMAP changes (for which I pulled in a branch from Tony Lindgren's
tree) have a conflict in linux-next with the arm-soc tree. The
conflict is in the file arch/arm/mach-omap2/clock44xx_data.c which is
deleted in the arm-soc tree. It is safe to delete the file too so
solve the conflict. Similar changes are done in the arm-soc tree in
the common clock framework migration. A missing hunk from the patch
in the IOMMU tree will be submitted as a seperate patch when the
merge-window is closed."

Pull preparatory gcc intrisics bswap patch from David Woodhouse:
"This single patch is effectively a no-op for now. It enables
architectures to opt in to using GCC's __builtin_bswapXX() intrinsics
for byteswapping, and if we merge this now then the architecture
maintainers can enable it for their arch during the next cycle without
dependency issues.
It's worth making it a par-arch opt-in, because although in *theory*
the compiler should never do worse than hand-coded assembler (and of
course it also ought to do a lot better on platforms like Atom and
PowerPC which have load-and-swap or store-and-swap instructions), that
isn't always the case. See

byteorder: allow arch to opt to use GCC intrinsics for byteswapping
|

Commit 8dd2cb7e880d ("block: discard granularity might not be power of
2") changed a couple of 'binary and' operations into modulus operations.
Which turned the harmless case of a zero discard_granularity into a
possible divide-by-zero.
The code also had a much more subtle bug: it was doing the modulus of a
value in bytes using 'sector_t'. That was always conceptually wrong,
but didn't actually matter back when the code assumed a power-of-two
granularity: we only looked at the low bits anyway.
But with potentially arbitrary sector numbers, using a 'sector_t' to
express bytes is very very wrong: depending on configuration it limits
the starting offset of the device to just 32 bits, and any overflow
would result in a wrong value if the modulus wasn't a power-of-two.
So re-write the code to not only protect against the divide-by-zero, but
to do the starting sector arithmetic in sectors, and using the proper
types.
[ For any mathematicians out there: it also looks monumentally stupid to
do the 'modulo granularity' operation *twice*, never mind having a "+
granularity" in the second modulus op.
But that's the easiest way to avoid negative values or overflow, and
it is how the original code was done. ]
