capability overrides apply only to the default case; if fs has ->permission()
that does _not_ call generic_permission(), we have no business doing them.
Moreover, if it has ->permission() that does call generic_permission(), we
have no need to recheck capabilities.Besides, the capability overrides should apply only if we got EACCES from
acl_permission_check(); any other value (-EIO, etc.) should be returned
to caller, capabilities or not capabilities.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Btrfs (and I'd venture most other fs's) stores its indexes in nice disk order
for readdir, but unfortunately in the case of anything that stats the files in
order that readdir spits back (like oh say ls) that means we still have to do
the normal lookup of the file, which means looking up our other index and then
looking up the inode. What I want is a way to create dummy dentries when we
find them in readdir so that when ls or anything else subsequently does a
stat(), we already have the location information in the dentry and can go
straight to the inode itself. The lookup stuff just assumes that if it finds a
dentry it is done, it doesn't perform a lookup. So add a DCACHE_NEED_LOOKUP
flag so that the lookup code knows it still needs to run i_op->lookup() on the
parent to get the inode for the dentry. I have tested this with btrfs and I
went from something that looks like thishttp://people.redhat.com/jwhiter/ls-noreada.png
To this

Thats a savings of 1300 seconds, or 22 minutes. That is a significant savings.

I'm running a workload which triggers a lot of swap in a machine with 4
nodes. After I kill the workload, I found a kswapd livelock. Sometimes
kswapd3 or kswapd2 are keeping running and I can't access filesystem,
but most memory is free.This looks like a regression since commit 08951e545918c159 ("mm: vmscan:
correct check for kswapd sleeping in sleeping_prematurely").Node 2 and 3 have only ZONE_NORMAL, but balance_pgdat() will return 0
for classzone_idx. The reason is end_zone in balance_pgdat() is 0 by
default, if all zones have watermark ok, end_zone will keep 0.Later sleeping_prematurely() always returns true. Because this is an
order 3 wakeup, and if classzone_idx is 0, both balanced_pages and
present_pages in pgdat_balanced() are 0. We add a special case here.
If a zone has no page, we think it's balanced. This fixes the livelock.Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li

Assume that /sys/kernel/debug/dummy64 is debugfs file created by
debugfs_create_x64().# cd /sys/kernel/debug
# echo 0x1234567812345678 > dummy64
# cat dummy64
0x0000000012345678# echo 0x80000000 > dummy64
# cat dummy64
0xffffffff80000000A value larger than INT_MAX cannot be written to the debugfs file created
by debugfs_create_u64 or debugfs_create_x64 on 32bit machine. Because
simple_attr_write() uses simple_strtol() for the conversion.To fix this, use simple_strtoll() instead.

Don't update *inode in __follow_mount_rcu() until we'd verified that
there is mountpoint there. Kudos to Hugh Dickins for catching that

open(2) must always include one of O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, or O_RDWR. No need
for any O_APPEND special case.Passing O_WRONLY|O_RDWR is undefined according to the man page, but the
Linux VFS interprets this as O_RDWR, so we'll do the same.This fixes open(2) with flags O_RDWR|O_APPEND, which was incorrectly being
translated to readonly.Reported-by: Fyodor Ustinov
