Allow add_key() and KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE to accept key payloads in XDR form as
described by openafs-1.4.10/src/auth/afs_token.xg. This provides a way of
passing kaserver, Kerberos 4, Kerberos 5 and GSSAPI keys from userspace, and
allows for future expansion.Signed-off-by: David Howells

This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6a6d0f59803b3ef04ff3c22c3844c10. The approach
there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in
order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses.
This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks:*. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise
dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat)
and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter.
*. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing
table, which might be unnecessary.The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast
addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.Reported-by: Jason Gunthorpe

When using nanosleep() in an userspace application we get a ratelimit warning
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08
for 10 times.
The echo of CAN frames is done from process context and softirq context only.
Therefore the usage of netif_rx() was wrong (for years).This patch replaces netif_rx() with netif_rx_ni() which has to be used from
process/softirq context. It also adds a missing comment that can_send() must
no be used from hardirq context.Signed-off-by: Oliver Hartkopp

Currently the media type detection for CX4 adapters lumps them into a
type of fiber. This causes some strange fallout when firmware verification
is done on the NIC, and certain fiber NIC rules get enforced incorrectly.This patch introduces a new media type for CX4, and puts both 82598 and

The packet split feature was recently moved out of the adapter-wide flags
feature field and into a per-Rx ring feature field. In the process, packet
split isn't properly disabled in the Rx ring if the adapter has it globally
disabled, followed by a device reset.This won't impact the driver today, since it's always in packet split mode.
However, this will prevent any pitfalls if someone disables packet split on
the adapter in the future and doesn't disable it in each ring.Signed-off-by: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr

When we close a file, we remove preallocated blocks from it. But this
truncation was not protected by i_mutex and thus it could have raced with a
write through a different fd and cause crashes or even filesystem corruption.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

So far we preallocated blocks also for directories but that brings a
problem, when to get rid of preallocated blocks we don't need. So far
we removed them in udf_clear_inode() which has a disadvantage that
1) blocks are unavailable long after writing to a directory finished
and thus one can get out of space unnecessarily early
2) releasing blocks from udf_clear_inode is problematic because VFS
does not expect us to redirty inode there and it also slows down
memory reclaim.So preallocate blocks only for regular files where we can drop preallocation
in udf_release_file.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

Currenly vfs_fsync(_range) first calls filemap_fdatawrite to write out
the data, the calls into ->fsync to write out the metadata and then finally
calls filemap_fdatawait to wait for the data I/O to complete. What sounds
like a clever micro-optimization actually is nast trap for many filesystems.For many modern filesystems i_size or other inode information is only
updated on I/O completion and we need to wait for I/O to finish before
we can write out the metadata. For old fashionen filesystems that
instanciate blocks during the actual write and also update the metadata
at that point it opens up a large window were we could expose uninitialized
blocks after a crash. While a few filesystems that need it already wait
for the I/O to finish inside their ->fsync methods it is rather suboptimal
as it is done under the i_mutex and also always for the whole file instead
of just a part as we could do for O_SYNC handling.Here is a small audit of all fsync instances in the tree:
- spufs_mfc_fsync:
- ps3flash_fsync:
- vol_cdev_fsync:
- printer_fsync:
- fb_deferred_io_fsync:
- bad_file_fsync:
- simple_sync_file:don't care - filesystems/drivers do't use the page cache or are
purely in-memory.- simple_fsync:
- file_fsync:
- affs_file_fsync:
- fat_file_fsync:
- jfs_fsync:
- ubifs_fsync:
- reiserfs_dir_fsync:
- reiserfs_sync_file:never touch pagecache themselves. We need to wait before if we do
not want to expose stale data after an allocation.- afs_fsync:
- fuse_fsync_common:do the waiting writeback itself in awkward ways, would benefit from
proper semantics- block_fsync:
Does a filemap_write_and_wait on the block device inode. Because we
now have f_mapping that is the same inode we call it on in vfs_fsync.
So just removing it and letting the VFS do the work in one go would
be an improvement.- btrfs_sync_file:
- cifs_fsync:
- xfs_file_fsync:need the wait first and currently do it themselves. would benefit from
doing it outside i_mutex.- coda_fsync:
- ecryptfs_fsync:
- exofs_file_fsync:
- shm_fsync:only passes the fsync through to the lower layer
- ext3_sync_file:
doesn't seem to care, comments are confusing.
- ext4_sync_file:
would need the wait to work correctly for delalloc mode with late
i_size updates. Otherwise the ext3 comment applies.currently implemens it's own writeback and wait in an odd way,
could benefit from doing it properly.- gfs2_fsync:
not needed for journaled data mode, but probably harmless there.
Currently writes back data asynchronously itself. Needs some
major audit.- hostfs_fsync:
just calls fsync/datasync on the host FD. Without the wait before
data might not even be inflight yet if we're unlucky.- hpfs_file_fsync:
- ncp_fsync:no-ops. Dangerous before and after.
- jffs2_fsync:
just calls jffs2_flush_wbuf_gc, not sure how this relates to data.
- nfs_fsync_dir:
just increments stats, claims all directory operations are synchronous
- nfs_file_fsync:
only writes out data??? Looks very odd.
- nilfs_sync_file:
looks like it expects all data done, but not sure from the code
- ntfs_dir_fsync:
- ntfs_file_fsync:appear to do their own data writeback. Very convoluted code.
- ocfs2_sync_file:
does it's own data writeback, but no wait. probably needs the wait.
- smb_fsync:
according to a comment expects all pages written already, probably needs
the wait before.This patch only changes vfs_fsync_range, removal of the wait in the methods
that have it is left to the filesystem maintainers. Note that most
filesystems really do need an audit for their fsync methods given the
gems found in this very brief audit.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

fat_cont_expand() is the only user of sync_page_range_nolock(). It's also the

a standard syncing path.Update a comment about generic_osync_inode().
