Don't drop ->wq_mutex before calling autofs4_notify_daemon() only to regain it
there. Besides being pointless, that opens a race window where autofs4_wait_release()
could've come and freed wq->name.name. And do the debugging printk in the "reused an
existing wq" case before dropping ->wq_mutex - the same reason...

Pull writeback fix from Wu Fengguang:
"A trivial writeback fix"
* tag 'writeback-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/linux:
writeback: Do not sort b_io list only because of block device inode
The LRU list changes interacted badly with our nr_dentry_unused
accounting, and even worse with the new DCACHE_LRU_LIST bit logic.
This introduces helper functions to make sure everything follows the
proper dcache d_lru list rules: the dentry cache is complicated by the
fact that some of the hotpaths don't even want to look at the LRU list
at all, and the fact that we use the same list entry in the dentry for
both the LRU list and for our temporary shrinking lists when removing
things from the LRU.
The helper functions temporarily have some extra sanity checking for the
flag bits that have to match the current LRU state of the dentry. We'll
remove that before the final 3.12 release, but considering how easy it
is to get wrong, this first cleanup version has some very particular
sanity checking.

This avoids the spinlocks and refcounts in the d_path() sequence too
(used by /proc and various other entities). See commit 8b19e34188 for
the equivalent getcwd() system call path.
And unlike getcwd(), d_path() doesn't copy the result to user space, so
I don't need to fear _that_ particular bug happening again.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
It's a pathname. It should use the pathname allocators and
deallocators, and PATH_MAX instead of PAGE_SIZE. Never mind that the
two are commonly the same.
With this, the allocations scale up nicely too, and I can do getcwd()
system calls at a rate of about 300M/s, with no lock contention
anywhere.
Of course, nobody sane does that, especially since getcwd() is
traditionally a very slow operation in Unix. But this was also the
simplest way to benchmark the prepend_path() improvements by Waiman, and
once I saw the profiles I couldn't leave it well enough alone.
But apart from being an performance improvement (from using per-cpu slab
allocators instead of the raw page allocator), it's actually a valid and
real cleanup.
Signed-off-by: Linus "OCD" Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Oops. That wasn't very smart. We don't actually need the RCU lock any
more by the time we copy the cwd string to user space, but I had
stupidly surrounded the whole thing with it.
Introduced by commit 8b19e34188 ("vfs: make getcwd() get the root and
pwd path under rcu")
Is-a-big-hairy-idiot: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
This allows us to skip all the crazy spinlocks and reference count
updates, and instead use the fs sequence read-lock to get an atomic
snapshot of the root and cwd information.
We might want to make the rule that "prepend_path()" is always called
with the RCU lock held, but the RCU lock nests fine and this is the
minimal fix.

"This is against 3.11-rc7, but was pulled and tested against your tree
as of yesterday. We do have two small incrementals queued up, but I
wanted to get this bunch out the door before I hop on an airplane.
This is a fairly large batch of fixes, performance improvements, and
cleanups from the usual Btrfs suspects.
We've included Stefan Behren's work to index subvolume UUIDs, which is
targeted at speeding up send/receive with many subvolumes or snapshots
in place. It closes a long standing performance issue that was built
in to the disk format.
Mark Fasheh's offline dedup work is also here. In this case offline
means the FS is mounted and active, but the dedup work is not done
inline during file IO. This is a building block where utilities are
able to ask the FS to dedup a series of extents. The kernel takes
care of verifying the data involved really is the same. Today this
involves reading both extents, but we'll continue to evolve the
patches"

This patch modifies read_seqbegin_or_lock() and need_seqretry() to use
newly introduced read_seqlock_excl() and read_sequnlock_excl()
primitives so that they won't change the sequence number even if they
fall back to take the lock. This is OK as no change to the protected
data structure is being made.
It will prevent one fallback to lock taking from cascading into a series
of lock taking reducing performance because of the sequence number
change. It will also allow other sequence readers to go forward while
an exclusive reader lock is taken.
This patch also updates some of the inaccurate comments in the code.

initmpfs: use initramfs if rootfstype= or root= specified
initmpfs: make rootfs use tmpfs when CONFIG_TMPFS enabled
initmpfs: move rootfs code from fs/ramfs/ to init/
initmpfs: move bdi setup from init_rootfs to init_ramfs
...
When the rootfs code was a wrapper around ramfs, having them in the same
file made sense. Now that it can wrap another filesystem type, move it in
with the init code instead.
This also allows a subsequent patch to access rootfstype= command line
arg.

Even though ramfs hasn't got a backing device, commit e0bf68ddec ("mm:
bdi init hooks") added one anyway, and put the initialization in
init_rootfs() since that's the first user, leaving it out of init_ramfs()
to avoid duplication.
But initmpfs uses init_tmpfs() instead, so move the init into the
filesystem's init function, add a "once" guard to prevent duplicate
initialization, and call the filesystem init from rootfs init.
This goes part of the way to allowing ramfs to be built as a module.

With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is
one such possible user), the following race can happen:
radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
radix_tree_node_alloc()
if (rtp->nr) {
ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];
<interrupt>
...
radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
radix_tree_node_alloc()
if (rtp->nr) {
ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];
And we give out one radix tree node twice. That clearly results in radix
tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which
two users of radix tree race.
We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh
radix tree nodes when in interrupt. Using preloading when in interrupt
doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and
we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely
on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload().
in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed
gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for
all preload users.
Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in
radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting. Again,
preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would
happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes. However,
some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert()
to succeed. To avoid unexpected effects for these users,
radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting
and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users
which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are
prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.

For zfcpdump we can't map the HSA storage because it is only available via
a read interface. Therefore, for the new vmcore mmap feature we have
introduce a new mechanism to create mappings on demand.
This patch introduces a new architecture function remap_oldmem_pfn_range()
that should be used to create mappings with remap_pfn_range() for oldmem
areas that can be directly mapped. For zfcpdump this is everything
besides of the HSA memory. For the areas that are not mapped by
remap_oldmem_pfn_range() a generic vmcore a new generic vmcore fault
handler mmap_vmcore_fault() is called.
This handler works as follows:
* Get already available or new page from page cache (find_or_create_page)
* Check if /proc/vmcore page is filled with data (PageUptodate)
* If yes:
Return that page
* If no:
Fill page using __vmcore_read(), set PageUptodate, and return page

For s390 we want to use /proc/vmcore for our SCSI stand-alone dump
(zfcpdump). We have support where the first HSA_SIZE bytes are saved into
a hypervisor owned memory area (HSA) before the kdump kernel is booted.
When the kdump kernel starts, it is restricted to use only HSA_SIZE bytes.
The advantages of this mechanism are:
* No crashkernel memory has to be defined in the old kernel.
* Early boot problems (before kexec_load has been done) can be dumped
* Non-Linux systems can be dumped.
We modify the s390 copy_oldmem_page() function to read from the HSA memory
if memory below HSA_SIZE bytes is requested.
Since we cannot use the kexec tool to load the kernel in this scenario,
we have to build the ELF header in the 2nd (kdump/new) kernel.
So with the following patch set we would like to introduce the new
function that the ELF header for /proc/vmcore can be created in the 2nd
kernel memory.
The following steps are done during zfcpdump execution:
1. Production system crashes
2. User boots a SCSI disk that has been prepared with the zfcpdump tool
3. Hypervisor saves CPU state of boot CPU and HSA_SIZE bytes of memory into HSA
4. Boot loader loads kernel into low memory area
5. Kernel boots and uses only HSA_SIZE bytes of memory
6. Kernel saves registers of non-boot CPUs
7. Kernel does memory detection for dump memory map
8. Kernel creates ELF header for /proc/vmcore
9. /proc/vmcore uses this header for initialization
10. The zfcpdump user space reads /proc/vmcore to write dump to SCSI disk
- copy_oldmem_page() copies from HSA for memory below HSA_SIZE
- copy_oldmem_page() copies from real memory for memory above HSA_SIZE
Currently for s390 we create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel with a
small trick. We relocate the addresses in the ELF header in a way that
for the /proc/vmcore code it seems to be in the 1st kernel (old) memory
and the read_from_oldmem() returns the correct data. This allows the
/proc/vmcore code to use the ELF header in the 2nd kernel.
This patch:
Exchange the old mechanism with the new and much cleaner function call
override feature that now offcially allows to create the ELF core header
in the 2nd kernel.
To use the new feature the following function have to be defined
by the architecture backend code to read from new memory:
* elfcorehdr_alloc: Allocate ELF header
* elfcorehdr_free: Free the memory of the ELF header
* elfcorehdr_read: Read from ELF header
* elfcorehdr_read_notes: Read from ELF notes

The error hanling and ret-from-loop look confusing and inconsistent.
- "retval >= 0" simply returns
- "!bprm->file" returns too but with read_unlock() because
binfmt_lock was already re-acquired
- "retval != -ENOEXEC || bprm->mm == NULL" does "break" and
relies on the same check after the main loop
Consolidate these checks into a single if/return statement.
need_retry still checks "retval == -ENOEXEC", but this and -ENOENT before
the main loop are not needed. This is only for pathological and
impossible list_empty(&formats) case.
It is not clear why do we check "bprm->mm == NULL", probably this

A separate one-liner for better documentation.
It doesn't make sense to retry if request_module() fails to exec
/sbin/modprobe, add the additional "request_module() < 0" check.
However, this logic still doesn't look exactly right:
1. It would be better to check "request_module() != 0", the user
space modprobe process should report the correct exit code.
But I didn't dare to add the user-visible change.
2. The whole ENOEXEC logic looks suboptimal. Suppose that we try
to exec a "#!path-to-unsupported-binary" script. In this case
request_module() + "retry" will be done twice: first by the
"depth == 1" code, and then again by the "depth == 0" caller
which doesn't make sense.
3. And note that in the case above bprm->buf was already changed
by load_script()->prepare_binprm(), so this looks even more
ugly.

Kill this loop and use a simple "bool need_retry" + "goto retry". The

proc_fd_permission() says "process can still access /proc/self/fd after it

helps if the task is group leader, /proc/self points to
/proc/<leader-pid>.
Change this check to use task_tgid() so that the whole thread group can
access its /proc/self/fd or /proc/<tid-of-sub-thread>/fd.
Notes:
- CLONE_THREAD does not require CLONE_FILES so task->files
can differ, but I don't think this can lead to any security
problem. And this matches same_thread_group() in
__ptrace_may_access().
- /proc/self should probably point to /proc/<thread-tid>, but

to add /proc/thread though.

This patchset implements POSIX ACLs support in hfsplus driver.
Mac OS X beginning with version 10.4 ("Tiger") support NFSv4 ACLs, which
are part of the NFSv4 standard. HFS+ stores ACLs in the form of
specially named extended attributes (com.apple.system.Security).
But this patchset doesn't use "com.apple.system.Security" extended
attributes. It implements support of POSIX ACLs in the form of extended
attributes with names "system.posix_acl_access" and
"system.posix_acl_default". These xattrs are treated only under Linux.
POSIX ACLs doesn't mean something under Mac OS X. Thereby, this patch
set provides opportunity to use POSIX ACLs under Linux on HFS+
filesystem.

for support POSIX ACLs in hfsplus driver.

The feature prevents mistrusted filesystems (ie: FUSE mounts created by
unprivileged users) to grow a large number of dirty pages before
throttling. For such filesystems balance_dirty_pages always check bdi
counters against bdi limits. I.e. even if global "nr_dirty" is under
"freerun", it's not allowed to skip bdi checks. The only use case for now
is fuse: it sets bdi max_ratio to 1% by default and system administrators
are supposed to expect that this limit won't be exceeded.
The feature is on if a BDI is marked by BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT flag. A
filesystem may set the flag when it initializes its BDI.
The problematic scenario comes from the fact that nobody pays attention to
the NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP counter (i.e. number of pages under fuse
writeback). The implementation of fuse writeback releases original page
(by calling end_page_writeback) almost immediately. A fuse request queued
for real processing bears a copy of original page. Hence, if userspace
fuse daemon doesn't finalize write requests in timely manner, an
aggressive mmap writer can pollute virtually all memory by those temporary
fuse page copies. They are carefully accounted in NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP, but
nobody cares.
To make further explanations shorter, let me use "NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP
problem" as a shortcut for "a possibility of uncontrolled grow of amount
of RAM consumed by temporary pages allocated by kernel fuse to process
writeback".
The problem was very easy to reproduce. There is a trivial example
filesystem implementation in fuse userspace distribution: fusexmp_fh.c. I
added "sleep(1);" to the write methods, then recompiled and mounted it.
Then created a huge file on the mount point and run a simple program which
mmap-ed the file to a memory region, then wrote a data to the region. An
hour later I observed almost all RAM consumed by fuse writeback. Since
then some unrelated changes in kernel fuse made it more difficult to
reproduce, but it is still possible now.
Putting this theoretical happens-in-the-lab thing aside, there is another
thing that really hurts real world (FUSE) users. This is write-through
page cache policy FUSE currently uses. I.e. handling write(2), kernel
fuse populates page cache and flushes user data to the server
synchronously. This is excessively suboptimal. Pavel Emelyanov's patches
("writeback cache policy") solve the problem, but they also make resolving
NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP problem absolutely necessary. Otherwise, simply copying
a huge file to a fuse mount would result in memory starvation. Miklos,
the maintainer of FUSE, believes strictlimit feature the way to go.
And eventually putting FUSE topics aside, there is one more use-case for
strictlimit feature. Using a slow USB stick (mass storage) in a machine
with huge amount of RAM installed is a well-known pain. Let's make simple
computations. Assuming 64GB of RAM installed, existing implementation of
balance_dirty_pages will start throttling only after 9.6GB of RAM becomes
dirty (freerun == 15% of total RAM). So, the command "cp 9GB_file
/media/my-usb-storage/" may return in a few seconds, but subsequent
"umount /media/my-usb-storage/" will take more than two hours if effective
throughput of the storage is, to say, 1MB/sec.
After inclusion of strictlimit feature, it will be trivial to add a knob
(e.g. /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/x:y/strictlimit) to enable it on demand.
Manually or via udev rule. May be I'm wrong, but it seems to be quite a
natural desire to limit the amount of dirty memory for some devices we are
not fully trust (in the sense of sustainable throughput).
