We're using -EKEYEXPIRED to indicate that a krb5 credcache contains an
expired ticket and that we should have the NFS layer retry the RPC call
instead of returning an error back to the caller. Handle this as we
would an -EJUKEBOX error return.

If a KRB5 TGT ticket expires, we don't want to return an error
immediatel. If someone has a long running job and just forgets to run
"kinit" in time then this will make it fail.
Instead, we want to treat this situation as we would NFS4ERR_DELAY and
retry the upcall after delaying a bit with an exponential backoff.
This patch just makes any place that would handle NFS4ERR_DELAY also
handle -EKEYEXPIRED the same way. In the future, we may want to be more
sophisticated however and handle hard vs. soft mounts differently, or
specify some upper limit on how long we'll wait for a new TGT to be
acquired.

Commit f39bde24b275ddc45d fixed the error return from PUTROOTFH in the
case where there is no pseudofilesystem.
This is really a case we shouldn't hit on a correctly configured server:
in the absence of a root filehandle, there's no point accepting version
4 NFS rpc calls at all.
But the shared responsibility between kernel and userspace here means
the kernel on its own can't eliminate the possiblity of this happening.
And we have indeed gotten this wrong in distro's, so new client-side
mount code that attempts to negotiate v4 by default first has to work
around this case.
Therefore when commit f39bde24b275ddc45d arrived at roughly the same
time as the new v4-default mount code, which explicitly checked only for
the previous error, the result was previously fine mounts suddenly
failing.
We'll fix both sides for now: revert the error change, and make the
client-side mount workaround more robust.

This reverts commit 703625118069 ("tty: fix race in tty_fasync") and
commit b04da8bfdfbb ("fnctl: f_modown should call write_lock_irqsave/
restore") that tried to fix up some of the fallout but was incomplete.
It turns out that we really cannot hold 'tty->ctrl_lock' over calling
__f_setown, because not only did that cause problems with interrupt
disables (which the second commit fixed), it also causes a potential
ABBA deadlock due to lock ordering.
Thanks to Tetsuo Handa for following up on the issue, and running
lockdep to show the problem. It goes roughly like this:
- f_getown gets filp->f_owner.lock for reading without interrupts
disabled, so an interrupt that happens while that lock is held can
cause a lockdep chain from f_owner.lock -> sighand->siglock.
- at the same time, the tty->ctrl_lock -> f_owner.lock chain that
commit 703625118069 introduced, together with the pre-existing
sighand->siglock -> tty->ctrl_lock chain means that we have a lock
dependency the other way too.
So instead of extending tty->ctrl_lock over the whole __f_setown() call,
we now just take a reference to the 'pid' structure while holding the
lock, and then release it after having done the __f_setown. That still
guarantees that 'struct pid' won't go away from under us, which is all
we really ever needed.

The "Untangling ima mess, part 2 with counters" patch messed
up the counters. Based on conversations with Al Viro, this patch
streamlines ima_path_check() by removing the counter maintaince.
The counters are now updated independently, from measuring the file,
in __dentry_open() and alloc_file() by calling ima_counts_get().
ima_path_check() is called from nfsd and do_filp_open().
It also did not measure all files that should have been measured.
Reason: ima_path_check() got bogus value passed as mask.

Thanks Thomas and Christoph for testing and review.
I removed 'smp_wmb()' before up_write from the previous patch,
since up_write() should have necessary ordering constraints.
(I.e. the change of s_frozen is visible to others after up_write)
I'm quite sure the change is harmless but if you are uncomfortable
with Tested-by/Reviewed-by on the modified patch, please remove them.
If MS_RDONLY, freeze_bdev should just up_write(s_umount) instead of
deactivate_locked_super().
Also, keep sb->s_frozen consistent so that remount can check the frozen state.
Otherwise a crash reported here can happen:

When running the following fio job
[torrent]
filename=torrent-test
rw=randwrite
size=4g
filesize=4g
bs=4k
ioengine=sync
you would see long stalls where no work was being done. That is because we were
doing all this extra work to read in the file extent outside of the transaction,
however in the random io case this ends up hurting us because the file extents
are not there to begin with. So axe this logic, since we end up reading in the
file extent when we go to update it anyway. This took the fio job from 11 mb/s
with several ~10 second stalls to 24 mb/s to a couple of 1-2 second stalls.

Mounting a bad filesystem caused a BUG_ON(). The following is steps to
reproduce it.
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sda2
# mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2
(the program says that /dev/sda2 was mounted, and then exits. )
# umount /mnt
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
At the third step, mkfs.btrfs exited in the way of make filesystem. So the
initialization of the filesystem didn't finish. So the filesystem was bad, and
it caused BUG_ON() when mounting it. But BUG_ON() should be called by the wrong
code, not user's operation, so I think it is a bug of btrfs.
This patch fixes it.

During recovery, the dlm frees the locks for the dead node. If it finds a
lock in a resource for the dead node, it expects that node to also have a
ref in that lock resource. If not, it BUGs.
ossbz#1175 was filed with the above BUG. Now, while it is correct that we
should be expecting the ref, I see no reason why we have to BUG. After all,
we are freeing up the lock and clearing the ref.
This patch replaces the BUG_ON with a printk(). Hopefully, that will give
us more clues next time this happens.

The VM/VFS does not allow mapping->a_ops->invalidatepage() to fail.
Unfortunately, nfs_wb_page_cancel() may fail if a fatal signal occurs.
Since the NFS code assumes that the page stays mapped for as long as the
writeback is active, we can end up Oopsing (among other things).
The only safe fix here is to convert nfs_wait_on_request(), so as to make
it uninterruptible (as is already the case with wait_on_page_writeback()).

Although all glocks are, by the time of the umount glock wait,
scheduled for demotion, some of them haven't made it far
enough through the process for the original set of waiting
code to wait for them.
This extends the ref count to the whole glock lifetime in order
to ensure that the waiting does catch all glocks. It does make
it a bit more invasive, but it seems the only sensible solution
at the moment.

During upconvert, if the master were to send a BAST, dlmglue will detect the
upconversion in process and send a cancel convert to the master. Upon receiving
the AST for the cancel convert, it will re-process the lock resource to determine
whether it needs downconverting. Say, the up was from PR to EX and the BAST was
for EX. After the cancel convert, it will need to downconvert to NL.
However, if the node was originally upconverting from NL to EX, then there would
be no reason to downconvert (assuming the same message sequence).
This patch makes dlmglue consider the possibility that the current lock level
is already compatible and that downconverting is not required.

There is possibility of a livelock in __ocfs2_cluster_lock(). If a node were
to get an ast for an upconvert request, followed immediately by a bast,
there is a small window where the fs may downconvert the lock before the

Although we use u64 to pass userspace pointers to the kernel

So wrap them with compat_ptr and add compat_ioctl.

We indeed met with a bug when testing on ppc(-EFAULT is returned

In CoW, we have to make sure that the page is already written
out to the disk. So we have a BUG_ON(PageDirty(page)).
In ppc platform we have pagesize=64K, so if the cs=4K, if the
file have fragmented clusters, we will map the page many times.
See this file as an example.
Tree Depth: 0 Count: 19 Next Free Rec: 14
## Offset Clusters Block# Flags
0 0 4 2164864 0x2 Refcounted
1 4 2 9302792 0x2 Refcounted
...
We have to replace the extent recs one by one, so the page with index 0
will be mapped and dirtied twice.
I'd like to leave the BUG_ON there while adding a check so that in
case we meet with an error in other platforms, we can find it easily.

The cache alias problem will happen if the changes of user shared mapping
is not flushed before copying, then user and kernel mapping may be mapped
into two different cache line, it is impossible to guarantee the coherence
after iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic. So the right steps should be:
flush_dcache_page(page);
kmap_atomic(page);
write to page;
kunmap_atomic(page);
flush_dcache_page(page);
More precisely, we might create two new APIs flush_dcache_user_page and
flush_dcache_kern_page to replace the two flush_dcache_page accordingly.
Here is a snippet tested on omap2430 with VIPT cache, and I think it is
not ARM-specific:
int val = 0x11111111;
fd = open("abc", O_RDWR);
addr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
*(addr+0) = 0x44444444;
tmp = *(addr+0);
*(addr+1) = 0x77777777;
write(fd, &val, sizeof(int));
close(fd);
The results are not always 0x11111111 0x77777777 at the beginning as expected. Sometimes we see 0x44444444 0x77777777.

Commit 221af7f87b9 ("Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions") split
the function at the point of no return - ie right where there were no
more error cases to check. That made sense from a technical standpoint,
but when we then also combined it with the actual personality setting
going in between flush_old_exec() and setup_new_exec(), it needs to be a
bit more careful.
In particular, we need to make sure that we really flush the old
personality bits in the 'flush' stage, rather than later in the 'setup'
stage, since otherwise we might be flushing the _new_ personality state
that we're just setting up.
So this moves the flags and personality flushing (and 'flush_thread()',
which is the arch-specific function that generally resets lazy FP state
etc) of the old process into flush_old_exec(), so that it doesn't affect
any state that execve() is setting up for the new process environment.
This was reported by Michal Simek as breaking his Microblaze qemu
environment.
