60d6d04ca3 autofs: add ignore mount option
Add an autofs file system mount option that can be used to provide a
generic indicator to applications that the mount entry should be ignored
when displaying mount information.

In other OSes that provide autofs and that provide a mount list to user
space based on the kernel mount list a no-op mount option ("ignore" is
the one use on the most common OS) is allowed so that autofs file system
users can optionally use it.

The idea is that it be used by user space programs to exclude autofs
mounts from consideration when reading the mounts list.

Prior to the change to link /etc/mtab to /proc/self/mounts all I needed
to do to achieve this was to use mount(2) and not update the mtab but
now that no longer works.

I know the symlinking happened a long time ago and I considered doing
this then but, at the time I couldn't remember the commonly used option
name and thought persuading the various utility maintainers would be too
hard.

But now I have a RHEL request to do this for compatibility for a widely
used product so I want to go ahead with it and try and enlist the help
of some utility package maintainers.

Clearly, without the option nothing can be done so it's at least a
start.

63ce5f552b autofs: drop dentry reference only when it is never used
autofs_expire_run() calls dput(dentry) to drop the reference count of
dentry.  However, dentry is read via autofs_dentry_ino(dentry) after
that.  This may result in a use-free-bug.  The patch drops the reference
count of dentry only when it is never used.

f5162216b7 autofs: add strictexpire mount option
Commit 092a53452b ("autofs: take more care to not update last_used on
path walk") helped to (partially) resolve a problem where automounts
were not expiring due to aggressive accesses from user space.

This patch was later reverted because, for very large environments, it
meant more mount requests from clients and when there are a lot of
clients this caused a fairly significant increase in server load.

But there is a need for both types of expire check, depending on use
case, so add a mount option to allow for strict update of last use of
autofs dentrys (which just means not updating the last use on path walk
access).

9bf964c9ce autofs: simplify parse_options() function call

which are present in the super block info structure already.

The mount parameters set in parse_options() options don't require
cleanup so using the super block info struct directly is simpler.

55f0d8205d autofs: improve ioctl sbi checks
Al Viro made some suggestions to improve the implementation of commit
0633da48f0 ("fix autofs_sbi() does not check super block type").

The check is unnecessary in all cases except for ioctl usage so placing
the check in the super block accessor function adds a small overhead to
the common case where it isn't needed.

So it's sufficient to do this in the ioctl code only.

Also the check in the ioctl code is needlessly complex.

cbf6898fd6 autofs: add AUTOFS_EXP_FORCED flag
The userspace automount(8) daemon is meant to perform a forced expire when
sent a SIGUSR2.

But since the expiration is routed through the kernel and the kernel
doesn't send an expire request if the mount is busy this hasn't worked at
least since autofs version 5.

Add an AUTOFS_EXP_FORCED flag to allow implemention of the feature and
bump the protocol version so user space can check if it's implemented if
needed.

way, sometimes using jiffies directly, and sometimes using the "now"
variable, and setting it isn't done consistently either.

But the autofs dentry info last_used field is only updated during path
walks or during expire so jiffies can be used directly and the global
variable "now" removed.

d4d79b8195 autofs: fix directory and symlink access
Depending on how it is configured the autofs user space daemon can leave
in use mounts mounted at exit and re-connect to them at start up.  But for
this to work best the state of the autofs file system needs to be left
intact over the restart.

Also, at system shutdown, mounts in an autofs file system might be
umounted exposing a mount point trigger for which subsequent access can
lead to a hang.  So recent versions of automount(8) now does its best to
set autofs file system mounts catatonic at shutdown.

When autofs file system mounts are catatonic it's currently possible to
create and remove directories and symlinks which can be a problem at
restart, as described above.

So return EACCES in the directory, symlink and unlink methods if the
autofs file system is catatonic.

Pull core signal handling updates from Eric Biederman:
 "It was observed that a periodic timer in combination with a
  sufficiently expensive fork could prevent fork from every completing.
  This contains the changes to remove the need for that restart.

  This set of changes is split into several parts:

   - The first part makes PIDTYPE_TGID a proper pid type instead
     something only for very special cases. The part starts using
     PIDTYPE_TGID enough so that in __send_signal where signals are
     actually delivered we know if the signal is being sent to a a group
     of processes or just a single process.

   - With that prep work out of the way the logic in fork is modified so
     that fork logically makes signals received while it is running
     appear to be received after the fork completes"

2c4704756c pids: Move the pgrp and session pid pointers from task_struct to signal_struct
To access these fields the code always has to go to group leader so
going to signal struct is no loss and is actually a fundamental simplification.

This saves a little bit of memory by only allocating the pid pointer array
once instead of once for every thread, and even better this removes a
few potential races caused by the fact that group_leader can be changed
by de_thread, while signal_struct can not.

d02d21ea00 autofs: rename 'autofs' module back to 'autofs4'
It turns out that systemd has a bug: it wants to load the autofs module
early because of some initialization ordering with udev, and it doesn't
do that correctly.  Everywhere else it does the proper "look up module
name" that does the proper alias resolution, but in that early code, it
just uses a hardcoded "autofs4" for the module name.

The result of that is that as of commit a2225d931f ("autofs: remove
left-over autofs4 stubs"), you get

    systemd[1]: Failed to insert module 'autofs4': No such file or directory

in the system logs, and a lack of module loading.  All this despite the
fact that we had very clearly marked 'autofs4' as an alias for this
module.

What's so ridiculous about this is that literally everything else does
the module alias handling correctly, including really old versions of
systemd (that just used 'modprobe' to do this), and even all the other
systemd module loading code.

Only that special systemd early module load code is broken, hardcoding
the module names for not just 'autofs4', but also "ipv6", "unix",
"ip_tables" and "virtio_rng".  Very annoying.

Instead of creating an _additional_ separate compatibility 'autofs4'
module, just rely on the fact that everybody else gets this right, and
just call the module 'autofs4' for compatibility reasons, with 'autofs'
as the alias name.

That will allow the systemd people to fix their bugs, adding the proper
alias handling, and maybe even fix the name of the module to be just
"autofs" (so that they can _test_ the alias handling).  And eventually,
we can revert this silly compatibility hack.

a2225d931f autofs: remove left-over autofs4 stubs
There's no need to retain the fs/autofs4 directory for backward
compatibility.

Adding an AUTOFS4_FS fragment to the autofs Kconfig and a module alias
for autofs4 is sufficient for almost all cases. Not keeping fs/autofs4
remnants will prevent "insmod <path>/autofs4/autofs4.ko" from working
but this shouldn't be used in automation scripts rather than
modprobe(8).

There were some comments about things to look out for with the module
rename in the fs/autofs4/Kconfig that is removed by this patch, see the
commit patch if you are interested.

One potential problem with this change is that when the
fs/autofs/Kconfig fragment for AUTOFS4_FS is removed any AUTOFS4_FS
entries will be removed from the kernel config, resulting in no autofs
file system being built if there is no AUTOFS_FS entry also.

This would have also happened if the fs/autofs4 remnants had remained
and is most likely to be a problem with automated builds.

Please check your build configurations before the removal which will
occur after the next couple of kernel releases.

db7bee24d2 autofs3: move to drivers/staging
Nobody appears to be interested in fixing autofs3 bugs
any more and it uses the BKL, which is going away.

Move this to staging for retirement. Unless someone
complains until 2.6.38, we can remove it for good.

The include/linux/auto_fs.h header file is still used
by autofs4, so it remains in place.

ca572727db fs/: do not fallback to default_llseek() when readdir() uses BKL
Do not use the fallback default_llseek() if the readdir operation of the
filesystem still uses the big kernel lock.

Since llseek() modifies
file->f_pos of the directory directly it may need locking to not confuse
readdir which usually uses file->f_pos directly as well

Since the special characteristics of the BKL (unlocked on schedule) are
not necessary in this case, the inode mutex can be used for locking as
provided by generic_file_llseek().  This is only possible since all
filesystems, except reiserfs, either use a directory as a flat file or
with disk address offsets.  Reiserfs on the other hand uses a 32bit hash
off the filename as the offset so generic_file_llseek() can get used as
well since the hash is always smaller than sb->s_maxbytes (= (512 << 32) -
blocksize).

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

The set of functions process_session, task_session, process_group and

The proposals are to
* equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to
  represent that fact,
* and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making
  the common prefix of the same name.

For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are
replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they
are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.

  =======================

and then deadlock comes.

The problem: autofs_fill_super() returns EINVAL to get_sb_nodev(), but
before that, it calls kill_anon_super() to destroy the superblock which
won't be needed.  This is however way too soon to call kill_anon_super(),
because get_sb_nodev() has to perform its own cleanup of the superblock
first (deactivate_super(), etc.).  The correct time to call
kill_anon_super() is in the autofs_kill_sb() callback, which is called by
deactivate_super() at proper time, when the superblock is ready to be
killed.

I can see the same faulty codepath also in autofs4.  This patch solves
issues in both filesystems in a same way - it postpones the
kill_anon_super() until the proper time is signalized by deactivate_super()
calling the kill_sb() callback.

What was being done in the put_super() superblock op, is now done in the

The call to shrink_dcache_sb() is removed as it is redundant since

save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).

This patch:

The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer.  Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer.  This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

454e2398be [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount
Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.

The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).

The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.

This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.

The patch also makes the following changes:

 (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
     pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
     very little.

 (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
     normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
     always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().

 (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
     dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().

     This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
     aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
     currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
     and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
     dentries being left unculled.

     However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
     implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
     simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
     inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
     with child trees.

     [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.

 (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
     changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

4b6f5d20b0 [PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const
This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const.  Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups

The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)

cc314eef01 Fix nasty ncpfs symlink handling bug.
This bug could cause oopses and page state corruption, because ncpfs
used the generic page-cache symlink handlign functions.  But those
functions only work if the page cache is guaranteed to be "stable", ie a
page that was installed when the symlink walk was started has to still
be installed in the page cache at the end of the walk.

We could have fixed ncpfs to not use the generic helper routines, but it
is in many ways much cleaner to instead improve on the symlink walking
helper routines so that they don't require that absolute stability.

We do this by allowing "follow_link()" to return a error-pointer as a
cookie, which is fed back to the cleanup "put_link()" routine.  This
also simplifies NFS symlink handling.

3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
