Artem Bityutskiy ab5610b434 [JFFS2] remove junk prototypes
'rb_prev()', 'rb_next()' and 'rb_replace_node()' are declared in
include/linux/rbtree.h, no need for JFFS2 to re-declare them. I
believe these are left-overs from the old days when the common
RB tree code did not have those call and JFFS2 had private
implementation.

NeilBrown d3374825ce md: make devices disappear when they are no longer needed.
Currently md devices, once created, never disappear until the module
is unloaded.  This is essentially because the gendisk holds a
reference to the mddev, and the mddev holds a reference to the
gendisk, this a circular reference.

If we drop the reference from mddev to gendisk, then we need to ensure
that the mddev is destroyed when the gendisk is destroyed.  However it
is not possible to hook into the gendisk destruction process to enable
this.

So we drop the reference from the gendisk to the mddev and destroy the
gendisk when the mddev gets destroyed.  However this has a
complication.
Between the call
   __blkdev_get->get_gendisk->kobj_lookup->md_probe
and the call
   __blkdev_get->md_open

there is no obvious way to hold a reference on the mddev any more, so
unless something is done, it will disappear and gendisk will be
destroyed prematurely.

Also, once we decide to destroy the mddev, there will be an unlockable
moment before the gendisk is unlinked (blk_unregister_region) during
which a new reference to the gendisk can be created.  We need to
ensure that this reference can not be used.  i.e. the ->open must
fail.

So:
 1/  in md_probe we set a flag in the mddev (hold_active) which
     indicates that the array should be treated as active, even
     though there are no references, and no appearance of activity.
     This is cleared by md_release when the device is closed if it
     is no longer needed.
     This ensures that the gendisk will survive between md_probe and
     md_open.

 2/  In md_open we check if the mddev we expect to open matches
     the gendisk that we did open.
     If there is a mismatch we return -ERESTARTSYS and modify
     __blkdev_get to retry from the top in that case.
     In the -ERESTARTSYS sys case we make sure to wait until
     the old gendisk (that we succeeded in opening) is really gone so
     we loop at most once.

Some udev configurations will always open an md device when it first
appears.   If we allow an md device that was just created by an open
to disappear on an immediate close, then this can race with such udev
configurations and result in an infinite loop the device being opened
and closed, then re-open due to the 'ADD' even from the first open,
and then close and so on.
So we make sure an md device, once created by an open, remains active
at least until some md 'ioctl' has been made on it.  This means that
all normal usage of md devices will allow them to disappear promptly
when not needed, but the worst that an incorrect usage will do it
cause an inactive md device to be left in existence (it can easily be
removed).

As an array can be stopped by writing to a sysfs attribute
  echo clear > /sys/block/mdXXX/md/array_state
we need to use scheduled work for deleting the gendisk and other
kobjects.  This allows us to wait for any pending gendisk deletion to
complete by simply calling flush_scheduled_work().

Magnus Damm 921d58c0e6 vmcore: remove saved_max_pfn check
Remove the saved_max_pfn check from the /proc/vmcore function
read_from_oldmem().  No need to verify, we should be able to just trust
that "elfcorehdr=" is correctly passed to the crash kernel on the kernel
command line like we do with other parameters.

The read_from_oldmem() function in fs/proc/vmcore.c is quite similar to
read_from_oldmem() in drivers/char/mem.c, but only in the latter it makes
sense to use saved_max_pfn.  For oldmem it is used to determine when to
stop reading.  For vmcore we already have the elf header info pointing out
the physical memory regions, no need to pass the end-of- old-memory twice.

Removing the saved_max_pfn check from vmcore makes it possible for
architectures to skip oldmem but still support crash dump through vmcore -
without the need for the old saved_max_pfn cruft.

Architectures that want to play safe can do the saved_max_pfn check in
copy_oldmem_page().  Not sure why anyone would want to do that, but that's
even safer than today - the saved_max_pfn check in vmcore removed by this
patch only checks the first page.

Kees Cook f06295b44c ELF: implement AT_RANDOM for glibc PRNG seeding
While discussing[1] the need for glibc to have access to random bytes
during program load, it seems that an earlier attempt to implement
AT_RANDOM got stalled.  This implements a random 16 byte string, available
to every ELF program via a new auxv AT_RANDOM vector.

[1] http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2008-10/msg00006.html

Ulrich said:

glibc needs right after startup a bit of random data for internal
protections (stack canary etc).  What is now in upstream glibc is that we
always unconditionally open /dev/urandom, read some data, and use it.  For
every process startup.  That's slow.

...

The solution is to provide a limited amount of random data to the
starting process in the aux vector.  I suggested 16 bytes and this is
what the patch implements.  If we need only 16 bytes or less we use the
data directly.  If we need more we'll use the 16 bytes to see a PRNG.
This avoids the costly /dev/urandom use and it allows the kernel to use
the most adequate source of random data for this purpose.  It might not
be the same pool as that for /dev/urandom.

Concerns were expressed about the depletion of the randomness pool.  But
this patch doesn't make the situation worse, it doesn't deplete entropy
more than happens now.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 08e552c69c memcg: synchronized LRU
A big patch for changing memcg's LRU semantics.

Now,
  - page_cgroup is linked to mem_cgroup's its own LRU (per zone).

  - LRU of page_cgroup is not synchronous with global LRU.

  - page and page_cgroup is one-to-one and statically allocated.

  - To find page_cgroup is on what LRU, you have to check pc->mem_cgroup as
    - lru = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc, nid_of_pc, zid_of_pc);

  - SwapCache is handled.

And, when we handle LRU list of page_cgroup, we do following.

	pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page);
	lock_page_cgroup(pc); .....................(1)
	mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc);
	spin_lock(&mz->lru_lock);
	.....add to LRU
	spin_unlock(&mz->lru_lock);
	unlock_page_cgroup(pc);

But (1) is spin_lock and we have to be afraid of dead-lock with zone->lru_lock.
So, trylock() is used at (1), now. Without (1), we can't trust "mz" is correct.

This is a trial to remove this dirty nesting of locks.
This patch changes mz->lru_lock to be zone->lru_lock.
Then, above sequence will be written as

        spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU
	mem_cgroup_add/remove/etc_lru() {
		pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page);
		mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc);
		if (PageCgroupUsed(pc)) {
			....add to LRU
		}
        spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU

This is much simpler.
(*) We're safe even if we don't take lock_page_cgroup(pc). Because..
    1. When pc->mem_cgroup can be modified.
       - at charge.
       - at account_move().
    2. at charge
       the PCG_USED bit is not set before pc->mem_cgroup is fixed.
    3. at account_move()
       the page is isolated and not on LRU.

Pros.
  - easy for maintenance.
  - memcg can make use of laziness of pagevec.
  - we don't have to duplicated LRU/Active/Unevictable bit in page_cgroup.
  - LRU status of memcg will be synchronized with global LRU's one.
  - # of locks are reduced.
  - account_move() is simplified very much.
Cons.
  - may increase cost of LRU rotation.
    (no impact if memcg is not configured.)

Duane Griffin 04143e2fb9 ext3: tighten restrictions on inode flags
At the moment there are few restrictions on which flags may be set on
which inodes.  Specifically DIRSYNC may only be set on directories and
IMMUTABLE and APPEND may not be set on links.  Tighten that to disallow
TOPDIR being set on non-directories and only NODUMP and NOATIME to be set
on non-regular file, non-directories.

Introduces a flags masking function which masks flags based on mode and
use it during inode creation and when flags are set via the ioctl to
facilitate future consistency.

Pekka Enberg 5df096d67e ext3: allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock separately
As spotted by kmemtrace, struct ext3_sb_info is 17152 bytes on 64-bit
which makes it a very bad fit for SLAB allocators.  The culprit of the
wasted memory is ->s_blockgroup_lock which can be as big as 16 KB when
NR_CPUS >= 32.

To fix that, allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock, which fits nicely in a order 2
page in the worst case, separately.  This shinks down struct ext3_sb_info
enough to fit a 1 KB slab cache so now we allocate 16 KB + 1 KB instead of
32 KB saving 15 KB of memory.

Josef Bacik f420d4dc42 jbd: improve fsync batching
There is a flaw with the way jbd handles fsync batching.  If we fsync() a
file and we were not the last person to run fsync() on this fs then we
automatically sleep for 1 jiffie in order to wait for new writers to join
into the transaction before forcing the commit.  The problem with this is
that with really fast storage (ie a Clariion) the time it takes to commit
a transaction to disk is way faster than 1 jiffie in most cases, so
sleeping means waiting longer with nothing to do than if we just committed
the transaction and kept going.  Ric Wheeler noticed this when using
fs_mark with more than 1 thread, the throughput would plummet as he added
more threads.

This patch attempts to fix this problem by recording the average time in
nanoseconds that it takes to commit a transaction to disk, and what time
we started the transaction.  If we run an fsync() and we have been running
for less time than it takes to commit the transaction to disk, we sleep
for the delta amount of time and then commit to disk.  We acheive
sub-jiffie sleeping using schedule_hrtimeout.  This means that the wait
time is auto-tuned to the speed of the underlying disk, instead of having
this static timeout.  I weighted the average according to somebody's
comments (Andreas Dilger I think) in order to help normalize random
outliers where we take way longer or way less time to commit than the
average.  I also have a min() check in there to make sure we don't sleep
longer than a jiffie in case our storage is super slow, this was requested
by Andrew.

I unfortunately do not have access to a Clariion, so I had to use a
ramdisk to represent a super fast array.  I tested with a SATA drive with
barrier=1 to make sure there was no regression with local disks, I tested
with a 4 way multipathed Apple Xserve RAID array and of course the

Duane Griffin ef8b646183 ext2: tighten restrictions on inode flags
At the moment there are few restrictions on which flags may be set on
which inodes.  Specifically DIRSYNC may only be set on directories and
IMMUTABLE and APPEND may not be set on links.  Tighten that to disallow
TOPDIR being set on non-directories and only NODUMP and NOATIME to be set
on non-regular file, non-directories.

Introduces a flags masking function which masks flags based on mode and
use it during inode creation and when flags are set via the ioctl to
facilitate future consistency.

Duane Griffin 0e090f1e05 ext2: don't inherit inappropriate inode flags from parent
At present BTREE/INDEX is the only flag that new ext2 inodes do NOT
inherit from their parent.  In addition prevent the flags DIRTY, ECOMPR,
INDEX, IMAGIC and TOPDIR from being inherited.  List inheritable flags
explicitly to prevent future flags from accidentally being inherited.

This fixes the TOPDIR flag inheritance bug reported at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9866.

Pekka J Enberg 18a82eb9f9 ext2: allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock separately
As spotted by kmemtrace, struct ext2_sb_info is 17024 bytes on 64-bit
which makes it a very bad fit for SLAB allocators.  The culprit of the
wasted memory is ->s_blockgroup_lock which can be as big as 16 KB when
NR_CPUS >= 32.

To fix that, allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock, which fits nicely in a order 2
page in the worst case, separately.  This shinks down struct ext2_sb_info
enough to fit a 1 KB slab cache so now we allocate 16 KB + 1 KB instead of
32 KB saving 15 KB of memory.

J. Bruce Fields 9a8d248e2d nfsd: fix double-locks of directory mutex
A number of nfsd operations depend on the i_mutex to cover more code
than just the fsync, so the approach of 4c728ef583 "add a vfs_fsync
helper" doesn't work for nfsd.  Revert the parts of those patches that
touch nfsd.

Note: we can't, however, remove the logic from vfs_fsync that was needed
only for the special case of nfsd, because a vfs_fsync(NULL,...) call
can still result indirectly from a stackable filesystem that was called
by nfsd.  (Thanks to Christoph Hellwig for pointing this out.)

David Howells f05ef8db1a CRED: Fix NFSD regression
Fix a regression in NFSD's permission checking introduced by the credentials
patches.  There are two parts to the problem, both in nfsd_setuser():

 (1) The return value of set_groups() is -ve if in error, not 0, and should be
     checked appropriately.  0 indicates success.

 (2) The UID to use for fs accesses is in new->fsuid, not new->uid (which is
     0).  This causes CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE to always be set, rather than being
     cleared if the UID is anything other than 0 after squashing.

J. Bruce Fields 55ef1274dd nfsd: Ensure nfsv4 calls the underlying filesystem on LOCKT
Since nfsv4 allows LOCKT without an open, but the ->lock() method is a
file method, we fake up a struct file in the nfsv4 code with just the
fields we need initialized.  But we forgot to initialize the file
operations, with the result that LOCKT never results in a call to the
filesystem's ->lock() method (if it exists).

We could just add that one more initialization.  But this hack of faking
up a struct file with only some fields initialized seems the kind of
thing that might cause more problems in the future.  We should either do
an open and get a real struct file, or make lock-testing an inode (not a
file) method.

This patch does the former.

Inaky Perez-Gonzalez 5e07878787 debugfs: add helpers for exporting a size_t simple value
In the same spirit as debugfs_create_*(), introduce helpers for
exporting size_t values over debugfs.

The only trick done is that the format verifier is kept at %llu
instead of %zu; otherwise type warnings would pop up:

format ‘%zu’ expects type ‘size_t’, but argument 2 has type ‘long long unsigned int’

There is no real way to fix this one--however, we can consider %llu
and %zu to be compatible if we consider that we are using the same for
validating in debugfs_create_{x,u}{8,16,32}().
