  • Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
    "This branch also contains core changes. I've come to the conclusion
    that from 4.9 and forward, I'll be doing just a single branch. We
    often have dependencies between core and drivers, and it's hard to
    always split them up appropriately without pulling core into drivers
    when that happens.

    That said, this contains:

    - separate secure erase type for the core block layer, from
    Christoph.

    - set of discard fixes, from Christoph.

    - bio shrinking fixes from Christoph, as a followup up to the
    op/flags change in the core branch.

    - map and append request fixes from Christoph.

    - NVMeF (NVMe over Fabrics) code from Christoph. This is pretty
    exciting!

    - nvme-loop fixes from Arnd.

    - removal of ->driverfs_dev from Dan, after providing a
    device_add_disk() helper.

    - bcache fixes from Bhaktipriya and Yijing.

    - cdrom subchannel read fix from Vchannaiah.

    - set of lightnvm updates from Wenwei, Matias, Johannes, and Javier.

    - set of drbd updates and fixes from Fabian, Lars, and Philipp.

    - mg_disk error path fix from Bart.

    - user notification for failed device add for loop, from Minfei.

    - NVMe in general:
    + NVMe delay quirk from Guilherme.
    + SR-IOV support and command retry limits from Keith.
    + fix for memory-less NUMA node from Masayoshi.
    + use UINT_MAX for discard sectors, from Minfei.

  • These two are confusing leftover of the old world order, combining
    values of the REQ_OP_ and REQ_ namespaces. For callers that don't
    special case we mostly just replace bi_rw with bio_data_dir or
    op_is_write, except for the few cases where a switch over the REQ_OP_
    values makes more sense. Any check for READA is replaced with an
    explicit check for REQ_RAHEAD. Also remove the READA alias for
    REQ_RAHEAD.

  • Check out-of-memory failure of the kstrdup option. Note that the argument
    "arg" may be NULL (in that case kstrup returns NULL), so out of memory
    condition happened if arg was non-NULL and kstrdup returned NULL.

    The patch also changes the call to replace_mount_options - if we didn't
    pass any filesystem-specific options, we don't call replace_mount_options
    (thus we don't erase existing reported options).

    Note that to properly report options after remount, the reiserfs
    filesystem should implement the show_options method. Without the
    show_options method, options changed with remount replace existing
    options.

  • reiserfs_xattr_[sg]et() will fail with -EOPNOTSUPP for V1 inodes anyway,
    and all reiserfs instances of ->[sg]et() call it and so does ->set_acl().

    Checks for name length in the instances had been bogus; they should've
    been "bugger off if it's _exactly_ the prefix" (as generic would
    do on its own) and not "bugger off if it's shorter than the prefix" -
    that can't happen.

    xattr_full_name() is needed to adjust for the fact that generic instances
    will skip the prefix in the name passed to ->[gs]et(); reiserfs homegrown
    analogues didn't.

  • PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
    ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
    cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

    This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.

    We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
    PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
    PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
    especially on the border between fs and mm.

    Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
    breakage to be doable.

    Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
    not.

    The changes are pretty straight-forward:

    - << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;

    - >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;

    - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

    - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

    - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

    This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
    script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
    I've called spatch for them manually.

    The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
    PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

    There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
    fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
    will be addressed with the separate patch.

  • When get_acl() is called for an inode whose ACL is not cached yet, the
    get_acl inode operation is called to fetch the ACL from the filesystem.
    The inode operation is responsible for updating the cached acl with
    set_cached_acl(). This is done without locking at the VFS level, so
    another task can call set_cached_acl() or forget_cached_acl() before the
    get_acl inode operation gets to calling set_cached_acl(), and then
    get_acl's call to set_cached_acl() results in caching an outdate ACL.

    Prevent this from happening by setting the cached ACL pointer to a
    task-specific sentinel value before calling the get_acl inode operation.
    Move the responsibility for updating the cached ACL from the get_acl
    inode operations to get_acl(). There, only set the cached ACL if the
    sentinel value hasn't changed.

    The sentinel values are chosen to have odd values. Likewise, the value
    of ACL_NOT_CACHED is odd. In contrast, ACL object pointers always have
    an even value (ACLs are aligned in memory). This allows to distinguish
    uncached ACLs values from ACL objects.

    In addition, switch from guarding inode->i_acl and inode->i_default_acl
    upates by the inode->i_lock spinlock to using xchg() and cmpxchg().

    Filesystems that do not want ACLs returned from their get_acl inode
    operations to be cached must call forget_cached_acl() to prevent the VFS
    from doing so.

    (Patch written by Al Viro and Andreas Gruenbacher.)

  • Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from
    userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to
    memcg. For the list, see below:

    - threadinfo
    - task_struct
    - task_delay_info
    - pid
    - cred
    - mm_struct
    - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
    - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
    - signal_struct
    - sighand_struct
    - fs_struct
    - files_struct
    - fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
    - dentry and external_name
    - inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
    most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.

    The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
    Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
    keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to
    breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
    everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
    fact).

  • Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
    "All kinds of stuff. That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
    branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
    had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.

    Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
    switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
    of various kinds, several new helpers for ->llseek(), assorted
    cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.

    One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
    lookup_one_len_unlocked(). Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
    called without ->i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it. That, of
    course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
    but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
    with that. I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
    changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough... I
    *am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
    and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with ->lookup() done under lock
    taken shared.

    There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
    of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
    ->i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
    inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested(). To quote Linus back then:

    -----
    | This is an automated patch using
    |
    | sed 's/mutex_lock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_lock(\1)/'
    | sed 's/mutex_unlock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_unlock(\1)/'
    | sed 's/mutex_lock_nested(&\(.*\)->i_mutex,[ ]*I_MUTEX_\([A-Z0-9_]*\))/inode_lock_nested(\1, I_MUTEX_\2)/'

    | sed 's/mutex_trylock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_trylock(\1)/'
    |
    | with a very few manual fixups

    gets mostly merged (or when Linus says he's about to stop taking
    merges)"

  • new method: ->get_link(); replacement of ->follow_link(). The differences
    are:
    * inode and dentry are passed separately
    * might be called both in RCU and non-RCU mode;
    the former is indicated by passing it a NULL dentry.
    * when called that way it isn't allowed to block
    and should return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD) if it needs to be called
    in non-RCU mode.

    It's a flagday change - the old method is gone, all in-tree instances
    converted. Conversion isn't hard; said that, so far very few instances
    do not immediately bail out when called in RCU mode. That'll change
    in the next commits.

  • The xattr_handler operations are currently all passed a file system
    specific flags value which the operations can use to disambiguate between
    different handlers; some file systems use that to distinguish the xattr
    namespace, for example. In some oprations, it would be useful to also have
    access to the handler prefix. To allow that, pass a pointer to the handler
    to operations instead of the flags value alone.

  • Many file systems that implement the show_options hook fail to correctly
    escape their output which could lead to unescaped characters (e.g. new
    lines) leaking into /proc/mounts and /proc/[pid]/mountinfo files. This
    could lead to confusion, spoofed entries (resulting in things like
    systemd issuing false d-bus "mount" notifications), and who knows what
    else. This looks like it would only be the root user stepping on
    themselves, but it's possible weird things could happen in containers or
    in other situations with delegated mount privileges.

    Here's an example using overlay with setuid fusermount trusting the
    contents of /proc/mounts (via the /etc/mtab symlink). Imagine the use
    of "sudo" is something more sneaky:

    $ BASE="ovl"
    $ MNT="$BASE/mnt"

    This fixes the problem by adding new seq_show_option and
    seq_show_option_n helpers, and updating the vulnerable show_option
    handlers to use them as needed. Some, like SELinux, need to be open
    coded due to unusual existing escape mechanisms.

    [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add lost chunk, per Kees]
    [keescook@chromium.org: seq_show_option should be using const parameters]
