Some filesystems may want to report different values depending on the path
within the filesystem, i.e. one mount is actually several filesystems. This
can be the case for a network filesystem exported by an unprivileged server
(e.g. sshfs).
This is now possible, thanks to David Howells "VFS: Permit filesystem to
perform statfs with a known root dentry" patch.
This change is backward compatible, so no need to change interface version.

Initialize module_subsys earlier (or at least earlier than devices) since
it could be used very early in the boot process if kmod loads a module
before the device initcalls. Otherwise, kmod will crash in
kernel/module.c:mod_sysfs_setup() since the kset in module_subsys is not
initialized yet.
I only noticed this problem because occasionally, kmod loads the modules
for my SCSI and Ethernet adapters very early, during the boot process
itself. I don't quite understand why it loads them sometimes and doesn't
load them other times. Or who is telling kmod to do so. Can someone
explain?

Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't
support write only in hardware.
While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not
support write only mappings already take the exact same approach. For
example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c:
"
if (cause < 0) {
if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC))
goto bad_area;
} else if (!cause) {
/* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */
if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE)))
goto bad_area;
} else {
if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE))
goto bad_area;
}
"
Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only
mappings in-line and consistent with the rest. I've verified the patch on
ia64, x86_64 and x86.
Additional discussion:
Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings.
The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are
read only or read/write. Thus, write only is not supported in h/w.
Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page
creates a page fault and will SEGV. That check is enforced in
arch/blah/mm/fault.c. However, if i first write that page it will fault in
and the pte will be set to read/write. Thus, any subsequent reads to the page
will succeed. It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is
attempting to address. Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then
brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV. Thus, any arbitrary read
on a page can potentially result in a SEGV.
According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the
implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some
archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am
suggesting.
The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing
the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations. This is
true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in
behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly
undesireable. If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an
agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

Check driver layer errors.
Fix from: "Jun'ichi Nomura" <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com>
In blockdevc-check-errors.patch, add_bd_holder() is modified to return error
values when some of its operation failed. Among them, it returns -EEXIST when
a given bd_holder object already exists in the list.
However, in this case, the function completed its work successfully and need
no action by its caller other than freeing unused bd_holder object. So I
think it's better to return success after freeing by itself.
Otherwise, bd_claim-ing with same claim pointer will fail.
Typically, lvresize will fails with following message:
device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
and you'll see messages like below in kernel log:
device-mapper: table: 254:13: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
Similarly, it should not add bd_holder to the list if either one of symlinking
fails. I don't have a test case for this to happen but it should cause
dereference of freed pointer.
If a matching bd_holder is found in bd_holder_list, add_bd_holder() completes
its job by just incrementing the reference count. In this case, it should be
considered as success but it used to return 'fail' to let the caller free
temporary bd_holder. Fixed it to return success and free given object by
itself.
Also, if either one of symlinking fails, the bd_holder should not be added to
the list so that it can be discarded later. Otherwise, the caller will free
bd_holder which is in the list.

Mechanical, hopefully non-functional changes stemming from
setup_etheraddr always succeeding now that it always assigns a MAC,
either from the command line or generated randomly:
the test of the return of setup_etheraddr is removed, and code
dependent on it succeeding is now unconditional
setup_etheraddr can now be made void
struct uml_net.have_mac is now always 1, so tests of it can be
similarly removed, and uses of it can be replaced with 1
struct uml_net.have_mac is no longer used, so it can be removed
struct uml_net_private.have_mac is copied from struct uml_net, so
it is always 1
tests of uml_net_private.have_mac can be removed
uml_net_private.have_mac can now be removed
the only call to dev_ip_addr was removed, so it can be deleted
It also turns out that setup_etheraddr is called only once, from the same
file, so it can be static and its declaration removed from net_kern.h.
Similarly, set_ether_mac is defined and called only from one file.
Finally, setup_etheraddr and set_ether_mac were moved to avoid needing forward
declarations.

Assign a random MAC to an ethernet interface if one was not provided on the
command line. This became pressing when distros started bringing interfaces
up before assigning IPs to them. The previous pattern of assigning an IP then
bringing it up allowed the MAC to be generated from the first IP assigned.
However, once the thing is up, it's probably a bad idea to change the MAC, so
the MAC stayed initialized to fe:fd:0:0:0:0.
Now, if there is no MAC from the command line, one is generated. We use the
microseconds from gettimeofday (20 bits), plus the low 12 bits of the pid to
seed the random number generator. random() is called twice, with 16 bits of
each result used. I didn't want to have to try to fill in 32 bits optimally
given an arbitrary RAND_MAX, so I just assume that it is greater than 65536
and use 16 bits of each random() return.
There is also a bit of reformatting and whitespace cleanup here.

Convert the i386 summit subarch apicid_to_node to use node information
provided by the SRAT. It was discussed a little on LKML a few weeks ago
and was seen as an acceptable fix. The current way of obtaining the nodeid
static inline int apicid_to_node(int logical_apicid)
{
return logical_apicid >> 5;
}
is just not correct for all summit systems/bios. Assuming the apicid
matches the Linux node number require a leap of faith that the bios mapped
out the apicids a set way. Modern summit HW (IBM x460) does not layout its
bios in the manner for various reasons and is unable to boot i386 numa.
The best way to get the correct apicid to node information is from the SRAT
table during boot. It lays out what apicid belongs to what node. I use
this information to create a table for use at run time.

Allows commas to be embedded into context mount options (i.e. "-o
context=some_selinux_context_t"), to better support multiple categories,
which are separated by commas and confuse mount.
For example, with the current code:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -o \
ro,context=system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0:c1,c3,c4,exec
The context option that will be interpreted by SELinux is
context=system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0:c1
instead of
context=system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0:c1,c3,c4
The options that will be passed on to the file system will be
ro,c3,c4,exec.
The proposed solution is to allow/require the SELinux context option
specified to mount to use quotes when the context contains a comma.
This patch modifies the option parsing in parse_opts(), contained in
mount.c, to take options after finding a comma only if it hasn't seen a
quote or if the quotes are matched. It also introduces a new function that
will strip the quotes from the context option prior to translation. The
quotes are replaced after the translation is completed to insure that in
the event the raw context contains commas the kernel will be able to
interpret the correct context.
