If signalfd is used to consume a signal generated by a POSIX interval
timer or POSIX message queue, the ssi_int field does not reflect the data
(sigevent->sigev_value) supplied to timer_create(2) or mq_notify(3). (The
ssi_ptr field, however, is filled in.)
This behavior differs from signalfd's treatment of sigqueue-generated
signals -- see the default case in signalfd_copyinfo. It also gives
results that differ from the case when a signal is handled conventionally
via a sigaction-registered handler.
So, set signalfd_siginfo->ssi_int in the remaining cases (__SI_TIMER,
__SI_MESGQ) where ssi_ptr is set.

The cgroup device whitelist code gets confused when trying to grant
permission to a disk partition that is not currently open. Part of
blkdev_open() includes __blkdev_get() on the whole disk.
Basically, the only ways to reliably allow a cgroup access to a partition
on a block device when using the whitelist are to 1) also give it access
to the whole block device or 2) make sure the partition is already open in
a different context.
The patch avoids the cgroup check for the whole disk case when opening a
partition.

This patch is against the 2.6.34 source.
Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com:
These are the changes needed for the kernel to support
LINEMODE in the server.
There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC.
When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver
are disabled. Input line editing, character echo, and mapping
of signals are all disabled. This allows the telnetd to turn
off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of
what state the user wants the terminal to be in.
New ioctl:
TIOCSIG Generate a signal to processes in the
current process group of the pty.
There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit.
When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit
is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the
next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL
bit set. This allows the process on the server side of the pty
to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then
issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state.
Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet
I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for
any remote terminal protocol, including ssh.
The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.
For historical reference, a good copy of the relevant files can be found
here:

WB_SYNC_NONE writeback is done in rounds of 1024 pages so that we don't
write out some huge inode for too long while starving writeout of other
inodes. To avoid livelocks, we record time we started writeback in
wbc->wb_start and do not write out inodes which were dirtied after this
time. But currently, writeback_inodes_wb() resets wb_start each time it
is called thus effectively invalidating this logic and making any
WB_SYNC_NONE writeback prone to livelocks.
This patch makes sure wb_start is set only once when we start writeback.

This a complete rewrite of the oom killer's badness() heuristic which is
used to determine which task to kill in oom conditions. The goal is to
make it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better
understood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most
memory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace.
Instead of basing the heuristic on mm->total_vm for each task, the task's
rss and swap space is used instead. This is a better indication of the
amount of memory that will be freeable if the oom killed task is chosen
and subsequently exits. This helps specifically in cases where KDE or
GNOME is chosen for oom kill on desktop systems instead of a memory
hogging task.
The baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task is
currently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of "allowable"
memory. "Allowable," in this sense, means the system-wide resources for
unconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes, the mems
attached to current's cpuset, or a memory controller's limit. The
proportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always kill),
roughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that the task
consumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM or in swap
space.
The proportion is always relative to the amount of "allowable" memory and
not the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets may
operate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of the
machine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set of
nodes or mems, respectively.
Root tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory()
provides in LSMs. In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of
memory, it is generally better to save root's task.
Because of the change in the badness() heuristic's baseline, it is also
necessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it. It's not possible
to redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale since the
ABI cannot be changed for backward compatability. Instead, a new tunable,
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to +1000. It may
be used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks are never
considered for oom kill while others may always be considered. The value
is added directly into the badness() score so a value of -500, for
example, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in comparison to
other tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy, in the cpuset,
or sharing the same memory controller.
/proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the
units used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa. Changing one of
these per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an
equivalent meaning. Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as
a bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity. This is required
so the ABI is not broken with userspace applications and allows oom_adj to
be deprecated for future removal.

If a kernel thread is using use_mm(), badness() returns a positive value.
This is not a big issue because caller take care of it correctly. But
there is one exception, /proc/<pid>/oom_score calls badness() directly and
doesn't care that the task is a regular process.
Another example, /proc/1/oom_score return !0 value. But it's unkillable.
This incorrectness makes administration a little confusing.
This patch fixes it.

If sget() finds a matching superblock being set up, it'll
grab an active reference to it and grab s_umount. That's
fine - we'll wait for completion of foofs_get_sb() that way.
However, if said foofs_get_sb() fails we'll end up holding
the halfway-created superblock. deactivate_locked_super()
called by foofs_get_sb() will just unlock the sucker since
we are holding another active reference to it.
What we need is a way to tell if superblock has been successfully
set up. Unfortunately, neither ->s_root nor the check for
MS_ACTIVE quite fit. Cheap and easy way, suitable for backport:
new flag set by the (only) caller of ->get_sb(). If that flag
isn't present by the time sget() grabbed s_umount on preexisting
superblock it has found, it's seeing a stillborn and should
just bury it with deactivate_locked_super() (and repeat the search).
Longer term we want to set that flag in ->get_sb() instances (and
check for it to distinguish between "sget() found us a live sb"
and "sget() has allocated an sb, we need to set it up" in there,
instead of checking ->s_root as we do now).

Fix an obscure AB-BA deadlock in get_sb_bdev().
When a superblock is mounted more than once get_sb_bdev() calls
close_bdev_exclusive() to drop the extra bdev reference while holding
s_umount. However, sb->s_umount nests inside bd_mutex during
__invalidate_device() and close_bdev_exclusive() acquires bd_mutex during
blkdev_put(); thus creating an AB-BA deadlock.
This condition doesn't trigger frequently. For this condition to be
visible to lockdep, the filesystem must occupy the whole device (as
__invalidate_device() only grabs bd_mutex for the whole device), the FS
must be mounted more than once and partition rescan should be issued while
the FS is still mounted.
Fix it by dropping s_umount over close_bdev_exclusive().

I did not find any docs about this file-system, and I have no possibility
to test my changes. Thus, this is untested.

BTRFS does not define a '->write_super()' method, so it should
not mark its superblock as dirty. This looks like some left-over.

BFS is a very simple FS and its superblocks contains only static
information and is never changed. However, the BFS code for some
misterious reasons marked its buffer head as dirty from time to
time, but nothing in that buffer was ever changed.
This patch removes all the BFS superblock manipulation, simply
because it is not needed. It removes:
1. The si_sbh filed from 'struct bfs_sb_info' because it is not
needed. We only need to read the SB once on mount to get the
start of data blocks and the FS size. After this, we can forget
about the SB.
2. All instances of 'mark_buffer_dirty(sbh)' for BFS SB because
it is never changed.
3. The '->sync_fs()' method because there is nothing to sync
(inodes are synched by VFS).
4. The '->write_super()' method, again, because the SB is never
changed.

AFFS does not ever wait for superblock synchronization in
->put_super(), ->write_super, and ->sync_fs().
However, it should wait for synchronization in ->put_super() because
it is about to be unmounted, in ->write_super() because this is
periodic SB synchronization performed from a separate kernel thread,
and in ->sync_fs() it should respect the 'wait' flag. This patch fixes
the situation.
Also, in ->put_super(), do not write the SB if it is not dirty.

In 'affs_write_super()': remove ancient and wrong commented code,
remove unneeded 'clean' variable, so the function becomes a bit
cleaner and simpler.
In 'affs_remount(): remove unnecessary SB dirty flag changes.

Remove the calls to inode_newsize_ok given that we already did it as
part of inode_change_ok in the beginning of cifs_setattr_(no)unix.
No need to call ->truncate if cifs doesn't have one, so remove the
explicit call in cifs_vmtruncate, and replace the calls to vmtruncate
with truncate_setsize which is vmtruncate minus inode_newsize_ok
and the call to ->truncate.
Rename cifs_vmtruncate to cifs_setsize to match the new calling conventions.
Question 1: why does cifs do the pagecache munging and i_size update twice
for each setattr call, once opencoded in cifs_vmtruncate, and once
using the VFS helpers?
Question 2: what is supposed to be protected by i_lock in cifs_vmtruncate?
Do we need it around the call to inode_change_ok?
[AV: fixed build breakage]

The shrinker function is supposed to return the number of cache
entries after shrinking, not before shrinking. Fix that.

The mbcache code was written to support a variable number of indexes,
but all the existing users use exactly one index. Simplify to code to
support only that case.
There are also no users of the cache entry free operation, and none of
the users keep extra data in cache entries. Remove those features as
well.

Add a flags field to help glibc implementing statvfs(3) efficiently.
We copy the flag values from glibc, and add a new ST_VALID flag to
denote that f_flags is implemented.

We'll need the path to implement the flags field for statvfs support.
We do have it available in all callers except:
- ecryptfs_statfs. This one doesn't actually need vfs_statfs but just
needs to do a caller to the lower filesystem statfs method.
- sys_ustat. Add a non-exported statfs_by_dentry helper for it which
doesn't won't be able to fill out the flags field later on.
In addition rename the helpers for statfs vs fstatfs to do_*statfs instead
of the misleading vfs prefix.
