provided by sysfs cannot be overflowed. Explicitly say
snprintf() must never be used in a show function to format

Eric Dumazet 8a81252b77 fs/file.c: don't acquire files->file_lock in fd_install()
Mateusz Guzik reported :

 Currently obtaining a new file descriptor results in locking fdtable
 twice - once in order to reserve a slot and second time to fill it.

Holding the spinlock in __fd_install() is needed in case a resize is
done, or to prevent a resize.

Mateusz provided an RFC patch and a micro benchmark :
  http://people.redhat.com/~mguzik/pipebench.c

A resize is an unlikely operation in a process lifetime,
as table size is at least doubled at every resize.

We can use RCU instead of the spinlock.

__fd_install() must wait if a resize is in progress.

The resize must block new __fd_install() callers from starting,
and wait that ongoing install are finished (synchronize_sched())

resize should be attempted by a single thread to not waste resources.

rcu_sched variant is used, as __fd_install() and expand_fdtable() run
from process context.

It gives us a ~30% speedup using pipebench on a dual Intel(R) Xeon(R)
CPU E5-2696 v2 @ 2.50GHz

Al Viro 680baacbca new ->follow_link() and ->put_link() calling conventions
a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning
an opaque pointer later passed to ->put_link(), ->follow_link() _stores_
that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns
the symlink body.  Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic
symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks.  Stored pointer
is ignored in all cases except the last one.

Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call
of ->put_link().

b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata).
Now only the opaque pointer is.  In the cases when we used the symlink body
to free stuff, ->follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition
to returning it.

Andrey Vagin 6c8c90319c proc: show locks in /proc/pid/fdinfo/X
Let's show locks which are associated with a file descriptor in
its fdinfo file.

Currently we don't have a reliable way to determine who holds a lock.  We
can find some information in /proc/locks, but PID which is reported there
can be wrong.  For example, a process takes a lock, then forks a child and
dies.  In this case /proc/locks contains the parent pid, which can be
reused by another process.

$ cat /proc/locks
...
6: FLOCK  ADVISORY  WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF
...

$ ps -C rpcbind
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
  332 ?        00:00:00 rpcbind

$ cat /proc/332/fdinfo/4
pos:	0
flags:	0100000
mnt_id:	22
lock:	1: FLOCK  ADVISORY  WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF

$ ls -l /proc/332/fd/4
lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Mar  5 14:43 /proc/332/fd/4 -> /run/rpcbind.lock

$ ls -l /proc/324/fd/
total 0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 0 -> /dev/pts/0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 1 -> /dev/pts/0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:49 2 -> /dev/pts/0

You can see that the process with the 324 pid doesn't hold the lock.

This information is required for proper dumping and restoring file
locks.

Boaz Harrosh dd9061846a mm: new pfn_mkwrite same as page_mkwrite for VM_PFNMAP
This will allow FS that uses VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP (no page structs) to
get notified when access is a write to a read-only PFN.

This can happen if we mmap() a file then first mmap-read from it to
page-in a read-only PFN, than we mmap-write to the same page.

We need this functionality to fix a DAX bug, where in the scenario above
we fail to set ctime/mtime though we modified the file.  An xfstest is
attached to this patchset that shows the failure and the fix.  (A DAX
patch will follow)

This functionality is extra important for us, because upon dirtying of a
pmem page we also want to RDMA the page to a remote cluster node.

We define a new pfn_mkwrite and do not reuse page_mkwrite because
  1 - The name ;-)
  2 - But mainly because it would take a very long and tedious
      audit of all page_mkwrite functions of VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP
      users. To make sure they do not now CRASH. For example current
      DAX code (which this is for) would crash.
      If we would want to reuse page_mkwrite, We will need to first
      patch all users, so to not-crash-on-no-page. Then enable this
      patch. But even if I did that I would not sleep so well at night.
      Adding a new vector is the safest thing to do, and is not that
      expensive. an extra pointer at a static function vector per driver.
      Also the new vector is better for performance, because else we
      Will call all current Kernel vectors, so to:
        check-ha-no-page-do-nothing and return.

No need to call it from do_shared_fault because do_wp_page is called to
change pte permissions anyway.

Chao Yu 8967215954 f2fs: add a mount option for rb-tree extent cache
This patch adds a mount option 'extent_cache' in f2fs.

It is try to use a rb-tree based extent cache to cache more mapping information
with less memory if this option is set, otherwise we will use the original one
extent info cache.

Mark Fasheh 01945fa248 ocfs2: update web page + git tree in documentation
We (the Ocfs2 project) recently moved the location of our ocfs2-tools
git tree and project web page.  The pertinent discussion can be seen
here:

  https://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-devel/2015-February/010579.html

The following patch updates the Ocfs2 documentation in MAINTAINERS,
ocfs2.txt, and dlmfs.txt.  I added our new official web page, changed
the location of our tools git tree and removed the link to Joel's
ancient kernel git tree - Andrew has handled our patches for a while
now.

Matthew Wilcox d92576f116 dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches
The DAX code accesses the underlying storage through the kernel's linear
mapping, which may not be cache-coherent with user mappings on ARM, MIPS
or SPARC.  Temporarily disable the DAX code until this problem is
resolved.

The original XIP code also had this problem, but it was never noticed.
