is_atomic_open() is now only used by nfs4_lookup_revalidate() to check whether
it's okay to skip normal revalidation.
It does a racy check for mount read-onlyness and falls back to normal
revalidation if the open would fail. This makes little sense now that this
function isn't used for determining whether to actually open the file or not.
The d_mountpoint() check still makes sense since it is an indication that we
might be following a mount and so open may not revalidate the dentry.

Don't pass nfs_open_context() to ->create(). Only the NFS4 implementation
needed that and only because it wanted to return an open file using open
intents. That task has been replaced by ->atomic_open so it is not necessary
anymore to pass the context to the create rpc operation.
Despite nfs4_proc_create apparently being okay with a NULL context it Oopses
somewhere down the call chain. So allocate a context here.

Add a new inode operation which is called on the last component of an open.
Using this the filesystem can look up, possibly create and open the file in one
atomic operation. If it cannot perform this (e.g. the file type turned out to
be wrong) it may signal this by returning NULL instead of an open struct file
pointer.
i_op->atomic_open() is only called if the last component is negative or needs
lookup. Handling cached positive dentries here doesn't add much value: these
can be opened using f_op->open(). If the cached file turns out to be invalid,
the open can be retried, this time using ->atomic_open() with a fresh dentry.
For now leave the old way of using open intents in lookup and revalidate in
place. This will be removed once all the users are converted.
David Howells noticed that if ->atomic_open() opens the file but does not create
it, handle_truncate() will be called on it even if it is not a regular file.
Fix this by checking the file type in this case too.

This patch makes affs stop using the VFS '->write_super()' method along with
the 's_dirt' superblock flag, because they are on their way out.
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.

AFFS stores values '1' and '2' in 'bm_flags', and I fail to see any logic when
it prefers one or another. AFFS writes '1' only from '->put_super()', while
'->sync_fs()' and '->write_super()' store value '2'. So on the first glance,
it looks like we want to have '1' if we unmount. However, this does not really
happen in these cases:
1. superblock is written via 'write_super()' then we unmount;
2. we re-mount R/O, then unmount.
which are quite typical.
I could not find good documentation describing this field, except of one random
piece of documentation in the internet which says that -1 means that the root
block is valid, which is not consistent with what we have in the Linux AFFS
driver.
Jan Kara commented on this: "I have some vague recollection that on Amiga
boolean was usually encoded as: 0 == false, ~0 == -1 == true. But it has been
ages..."
Thus, my conclusion is that value of '1' is as good as value of '2' and we can
just always use '2'. An Jan Kara suggested to go further: "generally bm_flags
handling looks strange. If they are 0, we mount fs read only and thus cannot
change them. If they are != 0, we write 2 there. So IMHO if you just removed
bm_flags setting, nothing will really happen."
So this patch removes the bm_flags setting completely. This makes the "clean"
argument of the 'affs_commit_super()' function unneeded, so it is also removed.

If a seccomp filter program is installed, older static binaries and
distributions with older libc implementations (glibc 2.13 and earlier)
that rely on vsyscall use will be terminated regardless of the filter
program policy when executing time, gettimeofday, or getcpu. This is
only the case when vsyscall emulation is in use (vsyscall=emulate is the
default).
This patch emulates system call entry inside a vsyscall=emulate by
populating regs->ax and regs->orig_ax with the system call number prior
to calling into seccomp such that all seccomp-dependencies function
normally. Additionally, system call return behavior is emulated in line
with other vsyscall entrypoints for the trace/trap cases.

Commit 080399aaaf ("block: don't mark buffers beyond end of disk as
mapped") exposed a bug in __getblk_slow that causes mount to hang as it
loops infinitely waiting for a buffer that lies beyond the end of the
disk to become uptodate.
The problem was initially reported by Torsten Hilbrich here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/18/54
and also reported independently here:
http://www.sysresccd.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4511
and then Richard W.M. Jones and Marcos Mello noted a few separate
bugzillas also associated with the same issue. This patch has been
confirmed to fix:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835019
The main problem is here, in __getblk_slow:
for (;;) {
struct buffer_head * bh;
int ret;
bh = __find_get_block(bdev, block, size);
if (bh)
return bh;
ret = grow_buffers(bdev, block, size);
if (ret < 0)
return NULL;
if (ret == 0)
free_more_memory();
}
__find_get_block does not find the block, since it will not be marked as
mapped, and so grow_buffers is called to fill in the buffers for the
associated page. I believe the for (;;) loop is there primarily to
retry in the case of memory pressure keeping grow_buffers from
succeeding. However, we also continue to loop for other cases, like the
block lying beond the end of the disk. So, the fix I came up with is to
only loop when grow_buffers fails due to memory allocation issues
(return value of 0).
The attached patch was tested by myself, Torsten, and Rich, and was
found to resolve the problem in call cases.
