Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

* original hysteresis loop got broken by typo back in 2002; now
it never switches out of OPTTIME state. Fixed.
* critical levels for switching from OPTTIME to OPTSPACE and back
ought to be calculated once, at mount time.
* we should use mul_u64_u32_div() for those calculations, now that
->s_dsize is 64bit.
* to quote Kirk McKusick (in 1995 FreeBSD commit message):
The threshold for switching from time-space and space-time is too small
when minfree is 5%...so make it stay at space in this case.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

For UFS2 we need 64bit variants; we even store them in uspi, but
use 32bit ones instead. One wrinkle is in handling of reserved
space - recalculating it every time had been stupid all along, but
now it would become really ugly. Just calculate it once...Signed-off-by: Al Viro

This patch makes UFS stop using the VFS '->write_super()' method along with
the 's_dirt' superblock flag, because they are on their way out.The way we implement this is that we schedule a delay job instead relying on
's_dirt' and '->write_super()'.The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the
'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and
writes out all dirty superblocks using the '->write_super()' call-back. But the
problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every
5 seconds, even if there are no diry superblocks, or there are no client
file-systems which would need this (e.g., btrfs does not use
'->write_super()'). So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to make
file-systems to stop using the '->write_super()' VFS service, and then remove
it together with the kernel thread.Tested using fsstress from the LTP project.

I recently had to recover some files from an old broken machine that was
running BorderWare Document Gateway. It's basically a drop in web server
for sharing files. From the look of the init process and using strings on
of a few files it seems to be based on FreeBSD 3.3.The process turned out to be more difficult than I imagined, but to cut a
long story short BorderWare in their wisdom use a nonstandard magic number
in their UFS (ufstype=44bsd) file systems. Thus Linux refuses to mount
the file systems in order to recover the data. After a bit of hunting I
was able to make a quick fix to fs/ufs/super.c in order to detect the new
magic number.I assume that this number is the same for all installations. It's quite
easy to find out from ufs_fs.h. The superblock sits 8k into the block
device and the magic number its 1372 bytes into the superblock struct.# dd if=/dev/sda5 skip=$(( 8192 + 1372 )) bs=1 count=4 2> /dev/null | hd

Alex Viskovatoff let me know that after copying data to solaris's ufs from
linux, solaris's fsck sees some errors in cylinder summary information.
This is because of solaris expects find some data on another places, then
curernt implementation save it. This patch fixes this issue. It is
tested by me, and also Alex reported that it works for him.Signed-off-by: Evgeniy Dushistov

Recent releases of Solaris set the fs_clean state of an unmounted UFS file
system as FSLOG ("logging fs"). However, the Linux kernel currently does
not recognize the value which represents this state. Thus, attempting to
mount such a file system rw produces the messagekernel: ufs_read_super: can't grok fs_clean 0xfffffffd
and the file system is mounted read-only. This patch makes the kernel
recognize that value.Signed-off-by: Alex Viskovatoff

Per previous discussions about cleaning up ufs_fs.h, people just want
this straight up dropped from userspace export. The only remaining
consumer (silo) has been fixed a while ago to not rely on this header.
This allows use to move it completely from include/linux/ to fs/ufs/
seeing as how the only in-kernel consumer is fs/ufs/.Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger
