"Eric's rcu barrier patch fixes a long standing problem with our

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs:
Btrfs: fix warning of free_extent_map
Btrfs: fix warning when creating snapshots
Btrfs: return as soon as possible when edquot happens

btrfs: use rcu_barrier() to wait for bdev puts at unmount
Btrfs: remove btrfs_try_spin_lock
Btrfs: get better concurrency for snapshot-aware defrag work
Users report that an extent map's list is still linked when it's actually
going to be freed from cache.
The story is that
a) when we're going to drop an extent map and may split this large one into
smaller ems, and if this large one is flagged as EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING which means
that it's on the list to be logged, then the smaller ems split from it will also
be flagged as EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING, and this is _not_ expected.
b) we'll keep ems from unlinking the list and freeing when they are flagged with
EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING, because the log code holds one reference.
The end result is the warning, but the truth is that we set the flag
EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING only during fsync.
So clear flag EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING for extent maps split from a large one.

Doing this would reliably fail with -EBUSY for me:
# mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/scratch; umount /mnt/scratch; mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb2
...
unable to open /dev/sdb2: Device or resource busy
because mkfs.btrfs tries to open the device O_EXCL, and somebody still has it.
Using systemtap to track bdev gets & puts shows a kworker thread doing a
blkdev put after mkfs attempts a get; this is left over from the unmount
path:
btrfs_close_devices
__btrfs_close_devices
call_rcu(&device->rcu, free_device);
free_device
INIT_WORK(&device->rcu_work, __free_device);
schedule_work(&device->rcu_work);
so unmount might complete before __free_device fires & does its blkdev_put.
Adding an rcu_barrier() to btrfs_close_devices() causes unmount to wait
until all blkdev_put()s are done, and the device is truly free once
unmount completes.

Commit 8e3dffc6 introduced a regression where deleting inode with
large extended attributes leads to triggering
BUG_ON(inode->i_state != (I_FREEING | I_CLEAR))
in fs/inode.c:evict(). That happens because freeing of xattr block
dirtied the inode and it happened after clear_inode() has been called.
Fix the issue by moving removal of xattr block into ext2_evict_inode()
before clear_inode() call close to a place where data blocks are
truncated. That is also more logical place and removes surprising
requirement that ext2_free_blocks() mustn't dirty the inode.

I had assumed that the only use of module aliases for filesystems
prior to "fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules."

in Arch linux uses these aliases.
So readd the preexising aliases, to keep from breaking userspace.
Userspace eventually will have to follow and use the same aliases the
kernel does. So at some point we may be delete these aliases without
problems. However that day is not today.

Looking at mm/process_vm_access.c:process_vm_rw() and comparing it to
compat_process_vm_rw() shows that the compatibility code requires an
explicit "access_ok()" check before calling
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector(). The same difference seems to appear when
we compare fs/read_write.c:do_readv_writev() to
fs/compat.c:compat_do_readv_writev().
This subtle difference between the compat and non-compat requirements
should probably be debated, as it seems to be error-prone. In fact,
there are two others sites that use this function in the Linux kernel,
and they both seem to get it wrong:
Now shifting our attention to fs/aio.c, we see that aio_setup_iocb()
also ends up calling compat_rw_copy_check_uvector() through
aio_setup_vectored_rw(). Unfortunately, the access_ok() check appears to
be missing. Same situation for
security/keys/compat.c:compat_keyctl_instantiate_key_iov().
I propose that we add the access_ok() check directly into
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector(), so callers don't have to worry about it,
and it therefore makes the compat call code similar to its non-compat
counterpart. Place the access_ok() check in the same location where
copy_from_user() can trigger a -EFAULT error in the non-compat code, so
the ABI behaviors are alike on both compat and non-compat.
While we are here, fix compat_do_readv_writev() so it checks for
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector() negative return values.
And also, fix a memory leak in compat_keyctl_instantiate_key_iov() error
handling.

If you open a pipe for neither read nor write, the pipe code will not
add any usage counters to the pipe, causing the 'struct pipe_inode_info"

That doesn't normally matter, since you cannot actually use the pipe,
but the pipe release code - particularly fasync handling - still expects
the actual pipe infrastructure to all be there. And rather than adding
NULL pointer checks, let's just disallow this case, the same way we

ext3_msg() takes the printk prefix as the second parameter and the

this string comes from an arbitrary source. Which means the string may

The delayed inode code batches up changes to the btree in hopes of doing
them in bulk. As the changes build up, processes kick off worker
threads and wait for them to make progress.
The current code kicks off an async work queue item for each delayed
node, which creates a lot of churn. It also uses a fixed 1 HZ waiting
period for the throttle, which allows us to build a lot of pending
work and can slow down the commit.
This changes us to watch a sequence counter as it is bumped during the

There are several bugs at error path of create_snapshot() when the
transaction commitment failed.
- access the freed transaction handler. At the end of the
transaction commitment, the transaction handler was freed, so we
should not access it after the transaction commitment.
- we were not aware of the error which happened during the snapshot
creation if we submitted a async transaction commitment.
- pending snapshot access vs pending snapshot free. when something
wrong happened after we submitted a async transaction commitment,
the transaction committer would cleanup the pending snapshots and
free them. But the snapshot creators were not aware of it, they
would access the freed pending snapshots.
This patch fixes the above problems by:
- remove the dangerous code that accessed the freed handler
- assign ->error if the error happens during the snapshot creation
- the transaction committer doesn't free the pending snapshots,
just assigns the error number and evicts them before we unblock
the transaction.

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.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
constify path_get/path_put and fs_struct.c stuff
fix nommu breakage in shmem.c
cache the value of file_inode() in struct file
9p: if v9fs_fid_lookup() gets to asking server, it'd better have hashed dentry
9p: make sure ->lookup() adds fid to the right dentry
9p: untangle ->lookup() a bit
9p: double iput() in ->lookup() if d_materialise_unique() fails
9p: v9fs_fid_add() can't fail now
v9fs: get rid of v9fs_dentry
9p: turn fid->dlist into hlist
9p: don't bother with private lock in ->d_fsdata; dentry->d_lock will do just fine
more file_inode() open-coded instances
selinux: opened file can't have NULL or negative ->f_path.dentry
(In the meantime, the hlist traversal macros have changed, so this
required a semantic conflict fixup for the newly hlistified fid->dlist)
