2f1936b877 [patch 3/5] vfs: change remove_suid() to file_remove_suid()
All calls to remove_suid() are made with a file pointer, because
(similarly to file_update_time) it is called when the file is written.

Clean up callers by passing in a file instead of a dentry.

e6305c43ed [PATCH] sanitize ->permission() prototype
* kill nameidata * argument; map the 3 bits in ->flags anybody cares
  about to new MAY_... ones and pass with the mask.
* kill redundant gfs2_iop_permission()
* sanitize ecryptfs_permission()
* fix remaining places where ->permission() instances might barf on new
  MAY_... found in mask.

The obvious next target in that direction is permission(9)

1bd5191d9f [patch 05/14] hpfs: dont call permission()
hpfs_unlink() calls permission() prior to truncating the file.  HPFS
doesn't define a .permission method, so replace with explicit call to
generic_permission().

This is equivalent, except that devcgroup_inode_permission() and
security_inode_permission() are not called.

The truncation is just an implementation detail of the unlink, so
these security checks are unnecessary.

I suspect that even calling generic_permission() is unnecessary, since
we shouldn't mind if the file isn't writable.  But I leave that to the
maintainer to decide.

9043476f72 [PATCH] sanitize proc_sysctl
* keep references to ctl_table_head and ctl_table in /proc/sys inodes
* grab the former during operations, use the latter for access to
  entry if that succeeds
* have ->d_compare() check if table should be seen for one who does lookup;
  that allows us to avoid flipping inodes - if we have the same name resolve
  to different things, we'll just keep several dentries and ->d_compare()
  will reject the wrong ones.
* have ->lookup() and ->readdir() scan the table of our inode first, then
  walk all ctl_table_header and scan ->attached_by for those that are
  attached to our directory.
* implement ->getattr().
* get rid of insane amounts of tree-walking
* get rid of the need to know dentry in ->permission() and of the contortions
  induced by that.

ae7edecc9b [PATCH] sysctl: keep track of tree relationships
In a sense, that's the heart of the series.  It's based on the following
property of the trees we are actually asked to add: they can be split into
stem that is already covered by registered trees and crown that is entirely
new.  IOW, if a/b and a/c/d are introduced by our tree, then a/c is also
introduced by it.

That allows to associate tree and table entry with each node in the union;
while directory nodes might be covered by many trees, only one will cover
the node by its crown.  And that will allow much saner logics for /proc/sys
in the next patches.  This patch introduces the data structures needed to
keep track of that.

When adding a sysctl table, we find a "parent" one.  Which is to say,
find the deepest node on its stem that already is present in one of the
tables from our table set or its ancestor sets.  That table will be our
parent and that node in it - attachment point.  Add our table to list
anchored in parent, have it refer the parent and contents of attachment
point.  Also remember where its crown lives.

bd7b1533cd [PATCH] sysctl: make sure that /proc/sys/net/ipv4 appears before per-ns ones
Massage ipv4 initialization - make sure that net.ipv4 appears as
non-per-net-namespace before it shows up in per-net-namespace sysctls.
That's the only change outside of sysctl.c needed to get sane ordering

mess).

f7e6ced406 [PATCH] allow delayed freeing of ctl_table_header
Refcount the sucker; instead of freeing it by the end of unregistration
just drop the refcount and free only when it hits zero.  Make sure that
we _always_ make ->unregistering non-NULL in start_unregistering().

That allows anybody to get a reference to such puppy, preventing its
freeing and reuse.  It does *not* block unregistration.  Anybody who
holds such a reference can
	* try to grab a "use" reference (ctl_head_grab()); that will
succeeds if and only if it hadn't entered unregistration yet.  If it
succeeds, we can use it in all normal ways until we release the "use"
reference (with ctl_head_finish()).  Note that this relies on having
->unregistering become non-NULL in all cases when one starts to unregister
the sucker.
	* keep pointers to ctl_table entries; they *can* be freed if
the entire thing is unregistered.  However, if ctl_head_grab() succeeds,
we know that unregistration had not happened (and will not happen until
ctl_head_finish()) and such pointers can be used safely.

IOW, now we can have inodes under /proc/sys keep references to ctl_table
entries, protecting them with references to ctl_table_header and
grabbing the latter for the duration of operations that require access
to ctl_table.  That won't cause deadlocks, since unregistration will not
be stopped by mere keeping a reference to ctl_table_header.

d70b67c8bc [patch] vfs: fix lookup on deleted directory
Lookup can install a child dentry for a deleted directory.  This keeps
the directory dentry alive, and the inode pinned in the cache and on
disk, even after all external references have gone away.

This isn't a big problem normally, since memory pressure or umount
will clear out the directory dentry and its children, releasing the
inode.  But for UBIFS this causes problems because its orphan area can
overflow.

Fix this by returning ENOENT for all lookups on a S_DEAD directory
before creating a child dentry.

Thanks to Zoltan Sogor for noticing this while testing UBIFS, and
Artem for the excellent analysis of the problem and testing.

f4b7f927b5 mmc: Add per-card debugfs support
For each card successfully added to the bus, create a subdirectory under
the host's debugfs root with information about the card.

At the moment, only a single file is added to the card directory for
all cards: "state". It reflects the "state" field in struct mmc_card,
indicating whether the card is present, readonly, etc.

For MMC and SD cards (not SDIO), another file is added: "status".
Reading this file will ask the card about its current status and
return it. This can be useful if the card just refuses to respond to
any commands, which might indicate that the card state is not what the
MMC core thinks it is (due to a missing stop command, for example.)

Host drivers can add additional files and directories under the host's
root directory by passing the debugfs_root field in struct mmc_host as
the 'parent' parameter to debugfs_create_*.

8201e20799 [SCSI] qla2xxx: Issue proper ISP callbacks during stop-firmware.
As the original code would incorrectly call the non-ISP24xx/25xx
callbacks during recovery, a stop-firmware failure could result
in improper bit-banging of the RISC and in some cases manifest in
a NMI-watchdog trigger due to the RISC not coming out of its
reset state.

    SCSI: fix race in device_create

    There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and
    then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a
    sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all
    sorts of bad things to happen.

    This patch fixes the problem by using the new function,
    device_create_drvdata().  It fixes the problem in all of the scsi
    drivers that need it.

The problem is ch_probe stores ch's private data at a wrong place.

We need to store it at scsi_device->sdev_gendev but the above patch
stores it at device struct that device_create_drvdata returns. So we
hit an oops when ch_remove accesses
scsi_device->sdev_gendev->driver_data, which is NULL.

Actually, there wasn't a race because ch doesn't create sysfs files
with device struct that device_create returns. This patch puts back
dev_set_drvdata() to set ch's private data properly.
