This patch introduces configfs_dirent_lock spinlock to protect configfs_dirent
traversals against linkage mutations (add/del/move). This will allow
configfs_detach_prep() to avoid locking i_mutexes.
Locking rules for configfs_dirent linkage mutations are the same plus the
requirement of taking configfs_dirent_lock. For configfs_dirent walking, one can
either take appropriate i_mutex as before, or take configfs_dirent_lock.
The spinlock could actually be a mutex, but the critical sections are either
O(1) or should not be too long (default groups walking in last patch).
ChangeLog:
- Clarify the comment on configfs_dirent_lock usage
- Move sd->s_element init before linking the new dirent
- In lseek(), do not release configfs_dirent_lock before the dirent is
relinked.

Some system files are per-slot. Their names include the slot number.
ocfs2_sprintf_system_inode_name() uses the system inode definitions to
fill in the slot number with snprintf().
For global system files, there is no node number, and the name was
printed as a format with no arguments. -Wformat-nonliteral and
-Wformat-security don't like this. Instead, use a static "%s" format
and the name as the argument.

The current definition of wksidarr works fine on little endian arches
(since cpu_to_le32 is a no-op there), but on big-endian arches, it fails
to compile with this error:
error: braced-group within expression allowed only inside a function
The problem is that this static declaration has cpu_to_le32 embedded
within it, and that expands into a function macro. We need to use
__constant_cpu_to_le32() instead.

Try this:
mount a share with unix extensions
create a file on it
umount the share
You'll get the following message in the ring buffer:
VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of cifs. Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a
nice day...
...the problem is that cifs_get_inode_info_unix is creating and hashing
a new inode even when it's going to return error anyway. The first
lookup when creating a file returns an error so we end up leaking this
inode before we do the actual create. This appears to be a regression
caused by commit 0e4bbde94f.

When we release the iclog, we do an atomic_dec_and_lock to determine if
we are the last reference and need to trigger update of log headers and
writeout. However, in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() we also need to
check if we have the last reference count there. If we do, we release
the log buffer, otherwise we decrement the reference count.
But the compare and decrement in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() is not
atomic, so both places can see a reference count of 2 and neither will
release the iclog. That leads to a filesystem hang.
Close the race by replacing the atomic_read() and atomic_dec() pair with
atomic_add_unless() to ensure that they are executed atomically.

Kernel Bugzilla #11063 points out that on some architectures (e.g. x86_32)
exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program header should default to an
executable stack; but this got broken by the unlimited argv feature because
stack vma is now created before the right personality has been established:
so breaking old binaries using nested function trampolines.
Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack
vm_flags used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup. Checking through
our existing VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct:
so this seems safer than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.

The stack-glue merge changed the way we use flags in dlmglue in that we now
use the fs/dlm equivalents. Unfortunately, a merge error left the new flock
code only partially updated. This took a while to show up though, because
the lock level constants are actually identical between o2dlm and fs/dlm.
The *_CONVERT and *_NOQUEUE flags have different values though, which is
eventually causing a crash in flags_to_o2dlm().

invalidate_inode_pages2_range() takes page offset arguments, not byte

Another thought is that individual pages might perhaps get evicted by VM
pressure, in which case we might perhaps want to re-read not only the
evicted page, but all subsequent pages too (in case the server returns
more/less data per page so that the alignment of the next entry
changes). We should therefore remove the condition that we only do this on

This patch fixes bz 450641.
This patch changes the computation for zero_metapath_length(), which it
renames to metapath_branch_start(). When you are extending the metadata
tree, The indirect blocks that point to the new data block must either
diverge from the existing tree either at the inode, or at the first
indirect block. They can diverge at the first indirect block because the
inode has room for 483 pointers while the indirect blocks have room for
509 pointers, so when the tree is grown, there is some free space in the
first indirect block. What metapath_branch_start() now computes is the
height where the first indirect block for the new data block is located.
It can either be 1 (if the indirect block diverges from the inode) or 2
(if it diverges from the first indirect block).

The path that __d_path() computes can become slightly inconsistent when it
races with mount operations: it grabs the vfsmount_lock when traversing mount
points but immediately drops it again, only to re-grab it when it reaches the
next mount point. The result is that the filename computed is not always
consisent, and the file may never have had that name. (This is unlikely, but
still possible.)
Fix this by grabbing the vfsmount_lock for the whole duration of

The POSIX.1 draft spec for futimens()/utimensat() says:
Only a process with the effective user ID equal to the
user ID of the file, *or with write access to the file*,
or with appropriate privileges may use futimens() or
utimensat() with a null pointer as the times argument
or with both tv_nsec fields set to the special value
UTIME_NOW.
The important piece here is "with write access to the file", and
this matters for futimens(), which deals with an argument that
is a file descriptor referring to the file whose timestamps are
being updated, The standard is saying that the "writability"
check is based on the file permissions, not the access mode with
which the file is opened. (This behavior is consistent with the
semantics of FreeBSD's futimes().) However, Linux is currently
doing the latter -- futimens(fd, times) is a library
function implemented as
utimensat(fd, NULL, times, 0)
and within the utimensat() implementation we have the code:
f = fget(dfd); // dfd is 'fd'
...
if (f) {
if (!(f->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE))
goto mnt_drop_write_and_out;
The check should instead be based on the file permissions.
Thanks to Miklos for pointing out how to do this check.
Miklos also pointed out a simplification that could be
made to my first version of this patch, since the checks
for the pathname and file descriptor cases can now be
conflated.

The POSIX.1 draft spec for utimensat() says:
Only a process with the effective user ID equal to the
user ID of the file or with appropriate privileges may use
futimens() or utimensat() with a non-null times argument
that does not have both tv_nsec fields set to UTIME_NOW
and does not have both tv_nsec fields set to UTIME_OMIT.
If this condition is violated, then the error EPERM should result.
However, the current implementation does not generate EPERM if
one tv_nsec field is UTIME_NOW while the other is UTIME_OMIT.
It should give this error for that case.
This patch:
a) Repairs that problem.
b) Removes the now unneeded nsec_special() helper function.
c) Adds some comments to explain the checks that are being
performed.
Thanks to Miklos, who provided comments on the previous iteration
of this patch. As a result, this version is a little simpler and
and its logic is better structured.
Miklos suggested an alternative idea, migrating the
is_owner_or_cap() checks into fs/attr.c:inode_change_ok() via
the use of an ATTR_OWNER_CHECK flag. Maybe we could do that
later, but for now I've gone with this version, which is
IMO simpler, and can be more easily read as being correct.

The POSIX.1 draft spec for utimensat() says that if a times[n].tv_nsec
field is UTIME_OMIT or UTIME_NOW, then the value in the corresponding
tv_sec field is ignored. See the last sentence of this para, from
the spec:
If the tv_nsec field of a timespec structure has
the special value UTIME_NOW, the file's relevant
timestamp shall be set to the greatest value
supported by the file system that is not greater than
the current time. If the tv_nsec field has the
special value UTIME_OMIT, the file's relevant
timestamp shall not be changed. In either case,
the tv_sec field shall be ignored.
However the current Linux implementation requires the tv_sec value to be
zero (or the EINVAL error results). This requirement should be removed.

with that of utime()/utimes() when dealing with files marked
immutable and append-only.
The current utimensat() implementation also returns EPERM if
'times' is non-NULL and the tv_nsec fields are both UTIME_NOW.
For consistency, the
(times != NULL && times[0].tv_nsec == UTIME_NOW &&
times[1].tv_nsec == UTIME_NOW)
case should be treated like the traditional utimes() case where
'times' is NULL. That is, the call should succeed for a file
marked append-only and should give the error EACCES if the file
is marked as immutable.
The simple way to do this is to set 'times' to NULL
if (times[0].tv_nsec == UTIME_NOW && times[1].tv_nsec == UTIME_NOW).
This is also the natural approach, since POSIX.1 semantics consider the
times == {{x, UTIME_NOW}, {y, UTIME_NOW}}
to be exactly equivalent to the case for
times == NULL.
(Thanks to Miklos for pointing this out.)
Patch 3 in this series relies on the simplification provided
by this patch.

devcgroup_inode_permission() expects MAY_FOO, not FMODE_FOO; kindly
keep your misdesign consistent if you positively have to inflict it

Christian Borntraeger reported that reinstating cond_resched() with
CONFIG_PREEMPT caused a performance regression on lmbench:
For example select file 500:
23 microseconds
32 microseconds
and that's really because we totally unnecessarily do the cond_resched()
in the innermost loop of select(), which is just silly.
This moves it out from the innermost loop (which only ever loops ove the
bits in a single "unsigned long" anyway), which makes the performance
regression go away.

This is the patch for the group descriptor table corruption during
online resize pointed out by Theodore Tso. The problem was caused by
the fact that the ext4 group descriptor can be either 32 or 64 bytes
long. Only the 64 bytes structure was taken into account.

Use max not min to enforce a lower limit on the max I/O size.
This bug was introduced by "fuse: fix max i/o size calculation" (commit
