1b17d76646 xfs: prevent deadlock in xfs_qm_shake()
It's possible to recurse into filesystem from the memory
allocation, which deadlocks in xfs_qm_shake(). Add check
for __GFP_FS, and bail out if it is not set.

e6da7c9fed xfs: fix overflow in xfs_growfs_data_private
In the case where growing a filesystem would leave the last AG
too small, the fixup code has an overflow in the calculation
of the new size with one fewer ag, because "nagcount" is a 32
bit number.  If the new filesystem has > 2^32 blocks in it
this causes a problem resulting in an EINVAL return from growfs:

1f23920dbf xfs: fix double unlock in xfs_swap_extents()
Regreesion from commit ef8f7fc, which rearranged the code in
xfs_swap_extents() leading to double unlock of xfs inode ilock.
That resulted in xfs_fsr deadlocking itself on platforms, which
don't handle double unlock of rw_semaphore nicely. It caused the
count go negative, which represents the write holder, without
really having one. ia64 is one of the platforms where deadlock
was easily reproduced and the fix was tested.

28e211700a xfs: fix getbmap vs mmap deadlock
xfs_getbmap (or rather the formatters called by it) copy out the getbmap
structures under the ilock, which can deadlock against mmap.  This has
been reported via bugzilla a while ago (#717) and has recently also
shown up via lockdep.

So allocate a temporary buffer to format the kernel getbmap structures
into and then copy them out after dropping the locks.

A little problem with this is that we limit the number of extents we
can copy out by the maximum allocation size, but I see no real way
around that.

The problem here is that xfs_file_last_byte() does not acquire the

the extext list.  While xfs_bmap_last_offset() is trying to lookup
what was the last extent some extents were merged and the extent list
shrunk so the index we lookup is now beyond the end of the extent list
and potentially in a freed buffer.

8de2bf937a xfs: remove xfs_flush_space
The only thing we need to do now when we get an ENOSPC condition during delayed
allocation reservation is flush all the other inodes with delalloc blocks on
them and retry without EOF preallocation. Remove the unneeded mess that is
xfs_flush_space() and just call xfs_flush_inodes() directly from
xfs_iomap_write_delay().

Also, change the location of the retry label to avoid trying to do EOF
preallocation because we don't want to do that at ENOSPC. This enables us to
remove the BMAPI_SYNC flag as it is no longer used.

153fec43ce xfs: flush delayed allcoation blocks on ENOSPC in create
If we are creating lots of small files, we can fail to get
a reservation for inode create earlier than we should due to
EOF preallocation done during delayed allocation reservation.
Hence on the first reservation ENOSPC failure flush all the
delayed allocation blocks out of the system and retry.

This fixes the last commonly triggered spurious ENOSPC issue
that has been reported.

e43afd72d2 xfs: block callers of xfs_flush_inodes() correctly
xfs_flush_inodes() currently uses a magic timeout to wait for
some inodes to be flushed before returning. This isn't
really reliable but used to be the best that could be done
due to deadlock potential of waiting for the entire flush.

Now the inode flush is safe to execute while we hold page
and inode locks, we can wait for all the inodes to flush
synchronously. Convert the wait mechanism to a completion
to do this efficiently. This should remove all remaining
spurious ENOSPC errors from the delayed allocation reservation
path.

This is extracted almost line for line from a larger patch
from Mikulas Patocka.

5825294edd xfs: make inode flush at ENOSPC synchronous
When we are writing to a single file and hit ENOSPC, we trigger a background
flush of the inode and try again.  Because we hold page locks and the iolock,
the flush won't proceed until after we release these locks. This occurs once
we've given up and ENOSPC has been reported. Hence if this one is the only
dirty inode in the system, we'll get an ENOSPC prematurely.

To fix this, remove the async flush from the allocation routines and move
it to the top of the write path where we can do a synchronous flush
and retry the write again. Only retry once as a second ENOSPC indicates
that we really are ENOSPC.

This avoids a page cache deadlock when trying to do this flush synchronously
in the allocation layer that was identified by Mikulas Patocka.

a8d770d987 xfs: use xfs_sync_inodes() for device flushing
Currently xfs_device_flush calls sync_blockdev() which is
a no-op for XFS as all it's metadata is held in a different
address to the one sync_blockdev() works on.

Call xfs_sync_inodes() instead to flush all the delayed
allocation blocks out. To do this as efficiently as possible,
do it via two passes - one to do an async flush of all the
dirty blocks and a second to wait for all the IO to complete.
This requires some modification to the xfs-sync_inodes_ag()
flush code to do efficiently.

9d7fef74b2 xfs: inform the xfsaild of the push target before sleeping
When trying to reserve log space, we find the amount of space
we need, then go to sleep waiting for space. When we are
woken, we try to push the tail of the log forward to make
sure we have space available.

Unfortunately, this means that if there is not space available, and
everyone who needs space goes to sleep there is no-one left to push
the tail of the log to make space available. Once we have a thread
waiting for space to become available, the others queue up behind
it in a FIFO, and none of them push the tail of the log.

This can result in everyone going to sleep in xlog_grant_log_space()
if the first sleeper races with the last I/O that moves the tail
of the log forward. With no further I/O tomove the tail of the log,
there is nothing to wake the sleepers and hence all transactions
just stop.

Fix this by making sure the xfsaild will create enough space for the
transaction that is about to sleep by moving the push target far
enough forwards to ensure that that the curent proceeees will have
enough space available when it is woken. That is, we push the
AIL before we go to sleep.

Because we've inserted the log ticket into the queue before we've
pushed and gone to sleep, subsequent transactions will wait behind
this one. Hence we are guaranteed to have space available when we
are woken.

c626d174cf xfs: prevent unwritten extent conversion from blocking I/O completion
Unwritten extent conversion can recurse back into the filesystem due
to memory allocation. Memory reclaim requires I/O completions to be
processed to allow the callers to make progress. If the I/O

deadlock situation.

Move unwritten extent completion into it's own workqueue so it
doesn't block I/O completions for normal delayed allocation or
overwrite data.

8f63aaa8b9 autofs4: fix lookup deadlock
A deadlock can occur when user space uses a signal (autofs version 4 uses
SIGCHLD for this) to effect expire completion.

The order of events is:

Expire process completes, but before being able to send SIGCHLD to it's parent
...

Another process walks onto a different mount point and drops the directory
inode semaphore prior to sending the request to the daemon as it must ...

A third process does an lstat on on the expired mount point causing it to wait
on expire completion (unfortunately) holding the directory semaphore.

The mount request then arrives at the daemon which does an lstat and,
deadlock.

For some time I was concerned about releasing the directory semaphore around
the expire wait in autofs4_lookup as well as for the mount call back.  I
finally realized that the last round of changes in this function made the
expiring dentry and the lookup dentry separate and distinct so the check and
possible wait can be done anywhere prior to the mount call back.  This patch
moves the check to just before the mount call back and inside the directory
inode mutex release.

bcd0b235bf eventfd: improve support for semaphore-like behavior
People started using eventfd in a semaphore-like way where before they
were using pipes.

That is, counter-based resource access.  Where a "wait()" returns
immediately by decrementing the counter by one, if counter is greater than
zero.  Otherwise will wait.  And where a "post(count)" will add count to
the counter releasing the appropriate amount of waiters.  If eventfd the
"post" (write) part is fine, while the "wait" (read) does not dequeue 1,
but the whole counter value.

The problem with eventfd is that a read() on the fd returns and wipes the
whole counter, making the use of it as semaphore a little bit more
cumbersome.  You can do a read() followed by a write() of COUNTER-1, but
IMO it's pretty easy and cheap to make this work w/out extra steps.  This
patch introduces a new eventfd flag that tells eventfd to only dequeue 1
from the counter, allowing simple read/write to make it behave like a
semaphore.  Simple test here:

http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-sem.c

To be back-compatible with earlier kernels, userspace applications should
probe for the availability of this feature via

#ifdef EFD_SEMAPHORE
	fd = eventfd2 (CNT, EFD_SEMAPHORE);
	if (fd == -1 && errno == EINVAL)
		<fallback>
#else
		<fallback>
#endif

e057e15ff6 epoll: clean up ep_modify
ep_modify() doesn't need to set event.data from within the ep->lock
spinlock as the comment suggests.  The only place event.data is used is
ep_send_events_proc(), and this is protected by ep->mtx instead of
ep->lock.  Also update the comment for mutex_lock() at the top of
ep_scan_ready_list(), which mentions epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL) but not
epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_MOD).

ep_modify() can also use spin_lock_irq() instead of spin_lock_irqsave().

d1bc90dd5d epoll: remove unnecessary xchg
xchg in ep_unregister_pollwait() is unnecessary because it is protected by
either epmutex or ep->mtx (the same protection as ep_remove()).

If xchg was necessary, it would be insufficient to protect against
problems: if multiple concurrent calls to ep_unregister_pollwait() were
possible then a second caller that returns without doing anything because
nwait == 0 could return before the waitqueues are removed by the first
caller, which looks like it could lead to problematic races with
ep_poll_callback().

So remove xchg and add comments about the locking.

d030588282 epoll: remember the event if epoll_wait returns -EFAULT
If epoll_wait returns -EFAULT, the event that was being returned when the
fault was encountered will be forgotten.  This is not a big deal since
EFAULT will happen only if a buggy userspace program passes in a bad
address, in which case what happens later usually doesn't matter.
However, it is easy to remember the event for later, and this patch makes
a simple change to do that.

abff55cee1 epoll: don't use current in irq context
ep_call_nested() (formerly ep_poll_safewake()) uses "current" (without
dereferencing it) to detect callback recursion, but it may be called from
irq context where the use of current is generally discouraged.  It would
be better to use get_cpu() and put_cpu() to detect the callback recursion.

5071f97ec6 epoll: fix epoll's own poll
Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even
though there are no actual ready monitored fds.  The bug shows up if you
add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll).

The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry
(patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that
actually happened.  So the callback code, since it can't call the file*
->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list.

So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on
the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via
wakeup callback).  During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is
sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s
f_op->poll().

Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check
!list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to
reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following
epoll_wait().  In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll
fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event
would be ready in a following epoll_wait().

Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake
ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be
added to other epoll fds.

c2d7543851 filesystem freeze: allow SysRq emergency thaw to thaw frozen filesystems
Now that the filesystem freeze operation has been elevated to the VFS, and
is just an ioctl away, some sort of safety net for unintentionally frozen
root filesystems may be in order.

The timeout thaw originally proposed did not get merged, but perhaps
something like this would be useful in emergencies.

For example, freeze /path/to/mountpoint may freeze your root filesystem if
you forgot that you had that unmounted.

I chose 'j' as the last remaining character other than 'h' which is sort
of reserved for help (because help is generated on any unknown character).

I've tested this on a non-root fs with multiple (nested) freezers, as well
as on a system rendered unresponsive due to a frozen root fs.

try_to_free_pages() is used for the direct reclaim of up to
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages when watermarks are low.  The caller to
alloc_pages_nodemask() can specify a nodemask of nodes that are allowed to
be used but this is not passed to try_to_free_pages().  This can lead to
unnecessary reclaim of pages that are unusable by the caller and int the
worst case lead to allocation failure as progress was not been make where
it is needed.

This patch passes the nodemask used for alloc_pages_nodemask() to
try_to_free_pages().

56a76f8275 fs: fix page_mkwrite error cases in core code and btrfs
page_mkwrite is called with neither the page lock nor the ptl held.  This
means a page can be concurrently truncated or invalidated out from
underneath it.  Callers are supposed to prevent truncate races themselves,
however previously the only thing they can do in case they hit one is to
raise a SIGBUS.  A sigbus is wrong for the case that the page has been
invalidated or truncated within i_size (eg.  hole punched).  Callers may
also have to perform memory allocations in this path, where again, SIGBUS
would be wrong.

The previous patch ("mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault")
made it possible to properly specify errors.  Convert the generic buffer.c
code and btrfs to return sane error values (in the case of page removed
from pagecache, VM_FAULT_NOPAGE will cause the fault handler to exit
without doing anything, and the fault will be retried properly).

This fixes core code, and converts btrfs as a template/example.  All other
filesystems defining their own page_mkwrite should be fixed in a similar
manner.

c2ec175c39 mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault
Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
VM_FAULT_xxx flags.  There should be no functional change.

This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to
the VM (and also can provide more information eg.  virtual_address to the
driver, which might be important in some special cases).

This is required for a subsequent fix.  And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

8a0bdec194 mm: fix SHM_HUGETLB to work with users in hugetlb_shm_group
Fix hugetlb subsystem so that non root users belonging to
hugetlb_shm_group can actually allocate hugetlb backed shm.

Currently non root users cannot even map one large page using SHM_HUGETLB
when they belong to the gid in /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_shm_group.  This is
because allocation size is verified against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK resource limit
even if the user belongs to hugetlb_shm_group.

This patch
1. Fixes hugetlb subsystem so that users with CAP_IPC_LOCK and users
   belonging to hugetlb_shm_group don't need to be restricted with
   RLIMIT_MEMLOCK resource limits
2. This patch also disables mlock based rlimit checking (which will
   be reinstated and marked deprecated in a subsequent patch).

struct tty_operations::proc_fops took it's place and there is one less
create_proc_read_entry() user now!

ae149b6bec proc tty: add struct tty_operations::proc_fops
Used for gradual switch of TTY drivers from using ->read_proc which helps
with gradual switch from ->read_proc for the whole tree.

As side effect, fix possible race condition when ->data initialized after
PDE is hooked into proc tree.

->proc_fops takes precedence over ->read_proc.
