b8da0d1c27 knfsd: Validate filehandle type in fsid_source
fsid_source decided where to get the 'fsid' number to
return for a GETATTR based on the type of filehandle.
It can be from the device, from the fsid, or from the
UUID.

It is possible for the filehandle to be inconsistent
with the export information, so make sure the export information
actually has the info implied by the value returned by
fsid_source.

a1033be72c knfsd: Fixed problem with NFS exporting directories which are mounted on.
Recent changes in NFSd cause a directory which is mounted-on
to not appear properly when the filesystem containing it is exported.

*exp_get* now returns -ENOENT rather than NULL and when
  commit 5d3dbbeaf5
removed the NULL checks, it didn't add a check for -ENOENT.

5995cb7d80 [XFS] fix nasty quota hashtable allocation bug
This git mod: 77e4635ae1
converted to a "greedy" allocation interface, but for the quota hashtables
it switched from allocating XFS_QM_HASHSIZE (nr of elements)
xfs_dqhash_t's to allocating only XFS_QM_HASHSIZE *bytes* - quite a lot
smaller! Then when we converted hsize "back" to nr of elements (the
division line) hsize went to 0. This was leading to oopses when running
any quota tests on the Fedora 8 test kernel, but the problem has been
there for almost a year.

fc0e01974c [JFFS2] fix write deadlock regression
I've bisected the deadlock when many small appends are done on jffs2 down to
this commit:

commit 6fe6900e1e
Author: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>
Date:   Sun May 6 14:49:04 2007 -0700

    mm: make read_cache_page synchronous

    Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
    us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.

    I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
    possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
    ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
    block2mtd.  All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
    with a !uptodate page.

It introduced a wait to read_cache_page, as well as a
read_cache_page_async function equivalent to the old read_cache_page
without any callers.

Switching jffs2_gc_fetch_page to read_cache_page_async for the old
behavior makes the deadlocks go away, but maybe reintroduces the
use-before-uptodate problem? I don't understand the mm/fs interaction
well enough to say.

[It's fine. dwmw2.]

1b3b4a1a2d NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()
Ryusuke Konishi says:

The recent truncate_complete_page() clears the dirty flag from a page
before calling a_ops->invalidatepage(),
^^^^^^
static void
truncate_complete_page(struct address_space *mapping, struct page *page)
{
        ...
        cancel_dirty_page(page, PAGE_CACHE_SIZE);  <--- Inserted here at
kernel 2.6.20

        if (PagePrivate(page))
                do_invalidatepage(page, 0);   ---> will call
a_ops->invalidatepage()
        ...
}

and this is disturbing nfs_wb_page_priority() from calling 
nfs_writepage_locked() that is expected to handle the pending
request (=nfs_page) associated with the page.

int nfs_wb_page_priority(struct inode *inode, struct page *page, int how)
{
        ...
        if (clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)) {
                ret = nfs_writepage_locked(page, &wbc);
                if (ret < 0)
                        goto out;
        }
        ...
}

Since truncate_complete_page() will get rid of the page after
a_ops->invalidatepage() returns, the request (=nfs_page) associated
with the page becomes a garbage in nfs_inode->nfs_page_tree.
------------------------

Fix this by ensuring that nfs_wb_page_priority() recognises that it may
also need to clear out non-dirty pages that have an nfs_page associated
with them.

e89a5a43b9 NFS: Fix the mount regression
This avoids the recent NFS mount regression (returning EBUSY when
mounting the same filesystem twice with different parameters).

The best I can do given the constraints appears to be to have the kernel
first look for a superblock that matches both the fsid and the
user-specified mount options, and then spawn off a new superblock if
that search fails.

Note that this is not the same as specifying nosharecache everywhere
since nosharecache will never attempt to match an existing superblock.

dec4ad86c2 hugepage: fix broken check for offset alignment in hugepage mappings
For hugepage mappings, the file offset, like the address and size, needs to
be aligned to the size of a hugepage.

In commit 68589bc353, the check for this was
moved into prepare_hugepage_range() along with the address and size checks.
 But since BenH's rework of the get_unmapped_area() paths leading up to
commit 4b1d89290b, prepare_hugepage_range()
is only called for MAP_FIXED mappings, not for other mappings.  This means
we're no longer ever checking for an aligned offset - I've confirmed that
mmap() will (apparently) succeed with a misaligned offset on both powerpc
and i386 at least.

This patch restores the check, removing it from prepare_hugepage_range()
and putting it back into hugetlbfs_file_mmap().  I'm putting it there,
rather than in the get_unmapped_area() path so it only needs to go in one
place, than separately in the half-dozen or so arch-specific
implementations of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area().

abd96ecb29 exec: kill unsafe BUG_ON(sig->count) checks
de_thread:

	if (atomic_read(&oldsighand->count) <= 1)
		BUG_ON(atomic_read(&sig->count) != 1);

This is not safe without the rmb() in between.  The results of two
correctly ordered __exit_signal()->atomic_dec_and_test()'s could be seen
out of order on our CPU.

The same is true for the "thread_group_empty()" case, __unhash_process()'s
changes could be seen before atomic_dec_and_test(&sig->count).

On some platforms (including i386) atomic_read() doesn't provide even the
compiler barrier, in that case these checks are simply racy.

Remove these BUG_ON()'s. Alternatively, we can do something like

	BUG_ON( ({ smp_rmb(); atomic_read(&sig->count) != 1; }) );

1864f7bd58 autofs4: deadlock during create
Due to inconsistent locking in the VFS between calls to lookup and
revalidate deadlock can occur in the automounter.

The inconsistency is that the directory inode mutex is held for both lookup
and revalidate calls when called via lookup_hash whereas it is held only
for lookup during a path walk.  Consequently, if the mutex is held during a
call to revalidate autofs4 can't release the mutex to callback the daemon
as it can't know whether it owns the mutex.

This situation happens when a process tries to create a directory within an
automount and a second process also tries to create the same directory
between the lookup and the mkdir.  Since the first process has dropped the
mutex for the daemon callback, the second process takes it during
revalidate leading to deadlock between the autofs daemon and the second
process when the daemon tries to create the mount point directory.

After spending quite a bit of time trying to resolve this on more than one
occassion, using rather complex and ulgy approaches, it turns out that just
delaying the hashing of the dentry until the create operation works fine.

f9ee228bdc signalfd: make it group-wide, fix posix-timers scheduling
With this patch any thread can dequeue its own private signals via signalfd,
even if it was created by another sub-thread.

To do so, we pass "current" to dequeue_signal() if the caller is from the same
thread group. This also fixes the scheduling of posix timers broken by the
previous patch.

If the caller doesn't belong to this thread group, we can't handle __SI_TIMER
case properly anyway. Perhaps we should forbid the cross-process signalfd usage
and convert ctx->tsk to ctx->sighand.

df06846416 eCryptfs: fix lookup error for special files
When ecryptfs_lookup() is called against special files, eCryptfs generates
the following errors because it tries to treat them like regular eCryptfs
files.

Error opening lower file for lower_dentry [0xffff810233a6f150], lower_mnt [0xffff810235bb4c80], and flags [0x8000]
Error opening lower_file to read header region
Error attempting to read the [user.ecryptfs] xattr from the lower file; return value = [-95]
Valid metadata not found in header region or xattr region; treating file as unencrypted

For instance, the problem can be reproduced by the steps below.

  # mkdir /root/crypt /mnt/crypt
  # mount -t ecryptfs /root/crypt /mnt/crypt
  # mknod /mnt/crypt/c0 c 0 0
  # umount /mnt/crypt
  # mount -t ecryptfs /root/crypt /mnt/crypt
  # ls -l /mnt/crypt

This patch fixes it by adding a check similar to directories and
symlinks.

848c4dd515 dio: zero struct dio with kzalloc instead of manually
This patch uses kzalloc to zero all of struct dio rather than manually
trying to track which fields we rely on being zero.  It passed aio+dio
stress testing and some bug regression testing on ext3.

This patch was introduced by Linus in the conversation that lead up to
Badari's minimal fix to manually zero .map_bh.b_state in commit:

  6a648fa721

It makes the code a bit smaller.  Maybe a couple fewer cachelines to
load, if we're lucky:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
3285925  568506 1304616 5159047  4eb887 vmlinux
3285797  568506 1304616 5158919  4eb807 vmlinux.patched

I was unable to measure a stable difference in the number of cpu cycles
spent in blockdev_direct_IO() when pushing aio+dio 256K reads at
~340MB/s.

So the resulting intent of the patch isn't a performance gain but to
avoid exposing ourselves to the risk of finding another field like
.map_bh.b_state where we rely on zeroing but don't enforce it in the
code.

It was written by Steve Whitehouse with some tweaking by me.

The code was looping in the relatively new section of code designed to
search for and reuse unlinked inodes.  In cases where it was finding an
appropriate inode to reuse, it was looping around and finding the same
block over and over because a "<=" check should have been a "<" when
comparing the goal block to the last unlinked block found.

bdcb88562c [GFS2] soft lockup detected in databuf_lo_before_commit
This is part 2 of the patch for bug #245832, part 1 of which is already
in the git tree.

The problem was that sdp->sd_log_num_databuf was not always being
protected by the gfs2_log_lock spinlock, but the sd_log_le_databuf
(which it is supposed to reflect) was protected.  That meant there
was a timing window during which gfs2_log_flush called
databuf_lo_before_commit and the count didn't match what was
really on the linked list in that window.  So when it ran out of
items on the linked list, it decremented total_dbuf from 0 to -1 and
thus never left the "while(total_dbuf)" loop.

The solution is to protect the variable sdp->sd_log_num_databuf so
that the value will always match the contents of the linked list,
and therefore the number will never go negative, and therefore, the
loop will be exited properly.

of the modes to determine if a blocking callback was required, but in
the one case of PR and CW, the lower valued CW mode blocks the higher
valued PR mode.  We just need to add a special check for this PR/CW
case in the tests that decide when a blocking callback is needed.

45328c354e NFS: Fix NFSv4 open stateid regressions
Do not allow cached open for O_RDONLY or O_WRONLY unless the file has been
previously opened in these modes.

Also Fix the calculation of the mode in nfs4_close_prepare. We should only
issue an OPEN_DOWNGRADE if we're sure that we will still be holding the
correct open modes. This may not be the case if we've been doing delegated
opens.

Finally, there is no need to adjust the open mode bit flags in
nfs4_close_done(): that has already been done in nfs4_close_prepare().

ca76d2d803 UDF: fix UID and GID mount option ignorance
This patch fix weird behaviour of UDF mounting procedure.  To get UID
changed (for now) we have to type

	mount -t udf -o uid=some_user,uid=ignore /dev/device /mnt/moun_point

and specifying two uid at once is strange a bit.  So with the patch we are
able to mount without additional 'uid=ignore' option.  The same for GID
option is done.

This patch will not break current mount scheme (with two option).

Btw this does fix (I hope) the following

817794e0df isofs: mounting to regular file may succeed
It turned out that mounting a corrupted ISO image to a regular file may
succeed, e.g.  if an image was prepared as follows:

$ dd if=correct.iso of=bad.iso bs=4k count=8

We then can mount it to a regular file:

# mount -o loop -t iso9660 bad.iso /tmp/file

But mounting it to a directory fails with -ENOTDIR, simply because
the root directory inode doesn't have S_IFDIR set and the condition
in graft_tree() is met:

	if (S_ISDIR(nd->dentry->d_inode->i_mode) !=
	      S_ISDIR(mnt->mnt_root->d_inode->i_mode))
		return -ENOTDIR

This is because the root directory inode was read from an incorrect
block. It's supposed to be read from sbi->s_firstdatazone, which is
an absolute value and gets messed up in the case of an incorrect image.

In order to somehow circumvent this we have to check that the root
directory inode is actually a directory after all.

4a4b88317a knfsd: eliminate unnecessary -ENOENT returns on export downcalls
A succesful downcall with a negative result (which indicates that the given
filesystem is not exported to the given user) should not return an error.

Currently mountd is depending on stdio to write these downcalls.  With some
versions of libc this appears to cause subsequent writes to attempt to write
all accumulated data (for which writes previously failed) along with any new
data.  This can prevent the kernel from seeing responses to later downcalls.
Symptoms will be that nfsd fails to respond to certain requests.

RFC 3530 says:

 If the server uses an attribute to store the exclusive create verifier, it
 will signify which attribute by setting the appropriate bit in the attribute
 mask that is returned in the results.

Linux uses the atime and mtime to store the verifier, but sends a zeroed out
bitmask back to the client.  This patch makes sure that we set the correct
bits in the bitmask in this situation.

778f3dd5a1 Fix procfs compat_ioctl regression
It is important to only provide the compat_ioctl method
if the downstream de->proc_fops does too, otherwise this
utterly confuses the logic in fs/compat_ioctl.c and we
end up doing the wrong thing.

7a6c813594 [IA64] Fix build failure in fs/quota.c
b716395e2b added code to handle
a compatability issue with 32bit quota tools, but the new compat
routines are only needed when CONFIG_COMPAT=y (and with this set
to 'n' there are compilation problems since some new typedefs are
not visible).

Reported by Doug Chapman.  Fix tuned by a cast of thousands (Andi,
Andreas, Arthur, HPA, Willy)

780dcdb211 fix inode_table test in ext234_check_descriptors
ext[234]_check_descriptors sanity checks block group descriptor geometry at
mount time, testing whether the block bitmap, inode bitmap, and inode table
reside wholly within the blockgroup.  However, the inode table test is off
by one so that if the last block in the inode table resides on the last
block of the block group, the test incorrectly fails.  This is because it
tests the last block as (start + length) rather than (start + length - 1).

This can be seen by trying to mount a filesystem made such as:

 mkfs.ext2 -F -b 1024 -m 0 -g 256 -N 3744 fsfile 1024

which yields:

 EXT2-fs error (device loop0): ext2_check_descriptors: Inode table for group 0 not in group (block 101)!
 EXT2-fs: group descriptors corrupted!

There is a similar bug in e2fsprogs, patch already sent for that.

(I wonder if inside(), outside(), and/or in_range() should someday be
used in this and other tests throughout the ext filesystems...)

098284020c make timerfd return a u64 and fix the __put_user
Davi fixed a missing cast in the __put_user(), that was making timerfd
return a single byte instead of the full value.

Talking with Michael about the timerfd man page, we think it'd be better to
use a u64 for the returned value, to align it with the eventfd
implementation.

This is an ABI change.  The timerfd code is new in 2.6.22 and if we merge this
into 2.6.23 then we should also merge it into 2.6.22.x.  That will leave a few
early 2.6.22 kernels out in the wild which might misbehave when a future
timerfd-enabled glibc is run on them.

mtk says: The difference would be that read() will only return 4 bytes, while
the application will expect 8.  If the application is checking the size of
returned value, as it should, then it will be able to detect the problem (it
could even be sophisticated enough to know that if this is a 4-byte return,
then it is running on an old 2.6.22 kernel).  If the application is not
checking the return from read(), then its 8-byte buffer will not be filled --
the contents of the last 4 bytes will be undefined, so the u64 value as a
whole will be junk.
