    "The first vfs pile, with deep apologies for being very late in this
    window.

    Assorted cleanups and fixes, plus a large preparatory part of iov_iter
    work. There's a lot more of that, but it'll probably go into the next
    merge window - it *does* shape up nicely, removes a lot of
    boilerplate, gets rid of locking inconsistencie between aio_write and
    splice_write and I hope to get Kent's direct-io rewrite merged into
    the same queue, but some of the stuff after this point is having
    (mostly trivial) conflicts with the things already merged into
    mainline and with some I want more testing.

    This one passes LTP and xfstests without regressions, in addition to
    usual beating. BTW, readahead02 in ltp syscalls testsuite has started
    giving failures since "mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for
    memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages" - might be a false
    positive, might be a real regression..."

  • - Convert spinlock/static array to va_format (inspired by Joe Perches
    help on previous logging patches).

    - Convert printk(KERN_ERR to pr_warn in __ntfs_warning.

    - Convert printk(KERN_ERR to pr_err in __ntfs_error.

    - Convert printk(KERN_DEBUG to pr_debug in __ntfs_debug. (Note that
    __ntfs_debug is still guarded by #if DEBUG)

    - Improve !DEBUG to parse all arguments (Joe Perches).

    - Sparse pr_foo() conversions in super.c

    NTFS, NTFS-fs prefixes as well as 'warning' and 'error' were removed :
    pr_foo() automatically adds module name and error level is already
    specified.

  • Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
    evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an
    iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point,
    reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
    code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.

    Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
    under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check
    for this flag before installing shadow pages.

  • Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the
    file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied,
    unconditional syncfs(). This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly
    documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful,
    except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting
    remounted read-only.

    However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are
    actually depending on this behavior. In most file systems, it's
    probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from
    read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is
    not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something
    like romfs).

  • It actually goes back to 2004 ([PATCH] Concurrent O_SYNC write support)
    when sync_page_range() had been introduced; generic_file_write{,v}() correctly
    synced
    pos_after_write - written .. pos_after_write - 1
    but generic_file_aio_write() synced
    pos_before_write .. pos_before_write + written - 1
    instead. Which is not the same thing with O_APPEND, obviously.
    A couple of years later correct variant had been killed off when
    everything switched to use of generic_file_aio_write().

    All users of generic_file_aio_write() are affected, and the same bug
    has been copied into other instances of ->aio_write().

    The fix is trivial; the only subtle point is that generic_write_sync()
    ought to be inlined to avoid calculations useless for the majority of
    calls.

  • Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o:
    "Lots of bug fixes, cleanups and optimizations. In the bug fixes
    category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the
    block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks
    on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or
    ia64 systems.)

    In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was
    significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc
    file systems. In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the
    write submission code path. We also improved error checking and added
    a few sanity checks.

    In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve
    mention. The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for
    nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode. This allows writes to be
    submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of
    being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then
    relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block
    queue). Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was
    introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the
    i_es_lru spinlock. Other optimizations include some changes to reduce
    CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily."

  • Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
    truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
    needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
    operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
    hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
    up to the certain point.

    Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
    be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
    range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
    page).

    This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation
    prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances
    for it.

    We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually
    make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.

    Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems
    where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour
    in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able
    to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

  • Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
    and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
    to match.

    A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
    that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
    users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.

    Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
    modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
    making things safer with no real cost.

    Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
    filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
    with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe,
    well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.

    This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
    name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
    would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
    cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
    autofs4.

    This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
    module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
    people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
    the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.

    After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
    particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
    making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
    module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
    without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem
    module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
    Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
    filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user
    namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
    which most filesystems do not set today.

  • Pull vfs update from Al Viro:

    - big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
    that is moved to fs/file.c

    (BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is,
    we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
    file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
    are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
    struct file we used to have way back).

    A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
    disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
    doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of
    relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
    leak.

    - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
    there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).

    - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
    that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
    switch of fdinfo to seq_file.

    - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
    take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate
    pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.

    - a few misc patches all over the place. Not all for this cycle,
    there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."

    Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly
    simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file()
    interface ("take descriptor handling from sock_alloc_file() to callers"
    vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of

  • There's no reason to call rcu_barrier() on every
    deactivate_locked_super(). We only need to make sure that all delayed rcu
    free inodes are flushed before we destroy related cache.

    Removing rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() affects some fast
    paths. E.g. on my machine exit_group() of a last process in IPC
    namespace takes 0.07538s. rcu_barrier() takes 0.05188s of that time.

  • Btrfs has to make sure we have space to allocate new blocks in order to modify
    the inode, so updating time can fail. We've gotten around this by having our
    own file_update_time but this is kind of a pain, and Christoph has indicated he
    would like to make xfs do something different with atime updates. So introduce
    ->update_time, where we will deal with i_version an a/m/c time updates and
    indicate which changes need to be made. The normal version just does what it
    has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then
    filesystems can choose to do something different.

    I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for
    errors with the exception of the fault code since it's complicated and I wasn't
    quite sure what to do there, also Jan is going to be pushing the file time
    updates into page_mkwrite for those who have it so that should satisfy btrfs and
    make it not a big deal to check the file_update_time() return code in the
    generic fault path. Thanks,

  • Pull kmap_atomic cleanup from Cong Wang.

    It's been in -next for a long time, and it gets rid of the (no longer
    used) second argument to k[un]map_atomic().

    Fix up a few trivial conflicts in various drivers, and do an "evil
    merge" to catch some new uses that have come in since Cong's tree.

  • For historical reasons, we allow module_param(bool) to take an int (or
    an unsigned int). That's going away.

    A few drivers really want an int: they set it to -1 and a parameter
    will set it to 0 or 1. This sucks: reading them from sysfs will give
    'Y' for both -1 and 1, but if we change it to an int, then the users
    might be broken (if they did "param" instead of "param=1").

    Use a new 'bint' parser for them.

    (ntfs has a different problem: it needs an int for debug_msgs because
    it's also exposed via sysctl.)
