Splice does not need to readpage to bring the page uptodate before writing
to it, because prepare_write will take care of that for us.
Splice is also wrong to SetPageUptodate before the page is actually uptodate.
This results in the old uninitialised memory leak. This gets fixed as a
matter of course when removing the readpage logic.

Stealing pages with splice is problematic because we cannot just insert
an uptodate page into the pagecache and hope the filesystem can take care
of it later.
We also cannot just ClearPageUptodate, then hope prepare_write does not
write anything into the page, because I don't think prepare_write gives
that guarantee.
Remove support for SPLICE_F_MOVE for now. If we really want to bring it
back, we might be able to do so with a the new filesystem buffered write
aops APIs I'm working on. If we really don't want to bring it back, then
we should decide that sooner rather than later, and remove the flag and

3273467584 0 0 4096 90115 3221712796 0 0 17 0 0 0 0
The code boundaries are then 3276111872 to 3276141668, which are:
(gdb) p/x 3276111872
$1 = 0xc3458000
(gdb) p/x 3276141668
$2 = 0xc345f464
And these correspond to this line in the maps file instead:
c3458000-c345f464 r-xs 00000000 00:0b 16384612 /usr/sbin/inetd

This bug was seen on ppc64, but it could have occurred on any
architecture with a page size of 64k or above. The problem is that in
fs/binfmt_elf.c:randomize_stack_top() randomizes the stack to within
0x7ff pages. On 4k page machines, this is 8MB; on 64k page boxes, this
is 128MB.
The problem is that the new binary layout (selected in
arch_pick_mmap_layout) places the mapping segment 128MB or the stack
rlimit away from the top of the process memory, whichever is larger. If
you chose an rlimit of less than 128MB (most defaults are in the 8Mb
range) then you can end up having your entire stack randomized away.
The fix is to make randomize_stack_top() only steal at most 8MB, which this
patch does. However, I have to point out that even with this, your stack
rlimit might not be exactly what you get if it's > 128MB, because you're
still losing the random offset of up to 8MB.
The true fix should be to leave an explicit gap for the randomization plus
a buffer when determining mmap_base, but that would involve fixing all the
architectures.

The current NFS client congestion logic is severly broken, it marks the

mirror this in nfs_writepage() which makes for deadlocks. Also it
implements its own waitqueue.
Replace this by a more regular congestion implementation that puts a cap on
the number of active writeback pages and uses the bdi congestion waitqueue.
Also always use an interruptible wait since it makes sense to be able to
SIGKILL the process even for mounts without 'intr'.

The garbage collection thread is strictly an optimisation. Everything it
does would also be done just-in-time in the context of something in
userspace trying to access the file system.
Sometimes, however, it's a pessimisation. Especially during early boot
when it's checksumming nodes and scanning inodes which are shortly going
to be pulled in by read_inode anyway. We end up building the rbtree of
node coverage twice for the same inode.
By switching to yield() instead of cond_resched() in the main loop, we
observe boot times on the OLPC system going down from about 100 seconds to
60.

For the case when nand_write_page fail with -EIO for the first page in an
eraseblock, jffs2_wbuf_recover ends up producing a BUG in jffs2_block_refile
as jeb->first_node is not yet set up (it's set up later in jffs2_wbuf_recover).
This BUG is not really a bug; it's just jffs2_wbuf_recover calling
jffs2_block_refile with the wrong second parameter.

This fixes a problem I encountered while running bonnie++. When you have one
thread that opens a file and starts to write to it, and then another thread that
tries to open and write to the same file, the second thread will loop forever
trying to grab the inode lock for that inode. Basically we come in through
generic_buffered_file_write, which calls gfs2_prepare_write, which then attempts
to grab the glock. Because we don't own the lock, gfs2_prepare_write gets
GLR_TRYFAILED, which returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE to generic_buffered_file_write.
At this point generic_buffered_file_write loops around again and immediately
retries the prepare_write. This means that the second process never gets off of
the processor in order to allow the process that holds the lock to finish its
work and let go of the lock. This patch makes gfs2_glock_nq schedule() if it
gets back a GLR_TRYFAILED, which resolves this problem.

There are race issues around ext[34] xattr block release code.
ext[34]_xattr_release_block() checks the reference count of xattr block
(h_refcount) and frees that xattr block if it is the last one reference it.
Unlike ext2, the check of this counter is unprotected by any lock.
ext[34]_xattr_release_block() will free the mb_cache entry before freeing
that xattr block. There is a small window between the check for the re
h_refcount ==1 and the call to mb_cache_entry_free(). During this small
window another inode might find this xattr block from the mbcache and reuse
it, racing a refcount updates. The xattr block will later be freed by the
first inode without notice other inode is still use it. Later if that
block is reallocated as a datablock for other file, then more serious
problem might happen.
We need put a lock around places checking the refount as well to avoid
racing issue. Another place need this kind of protection is in
ext3_xattr_block_set(), where it will modify the xattr block content in-
the-fly if the refcount is 1 (means it's the only inode reference it).
This will also fix another issue: the xattr block may not get freed at all
if no lock is to protect the refcount check at the release time. It is
possible that the last two inodes could release the shared xattr block at
the same time. But both of them think they are not the last one so only
decreased the h_refcount without freeing xattr block at all.
We need to call lock_buffer() after ext3_journal_get_write_access() to
avoid deadlock (because the later will call lock_buffer()/unlock_buffer
() as well).

This problem was identified and fixed some time ago by Jeff Moyer but it fell
through the cracks somehow.
It is possible that a user space application could remove and re-create a
directory during a request. To avoid returning a failure from lookup
incorrectly when our current dentry is unhashed we need to check if another
positive, hashed dentry matching this one exists and if so return it instead
of a fail.

Jeff Moyer has identified a race between mount and expire.
What happens is that during an expire the situation can arise that a directory
is removed and another lookup is done before the expire issues a completion
status to the kernel module. In this case, since the the lookup gets a new
dentry, it doesn't know that there is an expire in progress and when it posts
its mount request, matches the existing expire request and waits for its
completion. ENOENT is then returned to user space from lookup (as the dentry
passed in is now unhashed) without having performed the mount request.
The solution used here is to keep track of dentrys in this unhashed state and
reuse them, if possible, in order to preserve the flags. Additionally, this
infrastructure will provide the framework for the reintroduction of caching of
mount fails removed earlier in development.

nobh_prepare_write leaks data similarly to how simple_prepare_write did. Fix

We can safely remove the set_page_dirty, because as the comment says,

simple_prepare_write leaks uninitialised kernel data. This happens because
the it leaves an uninitialised "hole" over the part of the page that the
write is expected to go to. This is fine, but it then marks the page
uptodate, which means a concurrent read can come in and copy the
uninitialised memory into userspace before it written to.
Fix it by simply marking it uptodate in simple_commit_write instead, after
the hole has been filled in. This could theoretically break an fs that
uses simple_prepare_write and not simple_commit_write, and that relies on
the incorrect simple_prepare_write behaviour. Luckily, none of those

While cacheing is generally frowned upon in the 9p world, it has its
place -- particularly in situations where the remote file system is
exclusive and/or read-only. The vacfs views of venti content addressable
store are a real-world instance of such a situation. To facilitate higher
performance for these workloads (and eventually use the fscache patches),
we have enabled a "loose" cache mode which does not attempt to maintain
any form of consistency on the page-cache or dcache. This results in over
two orders of magnitude performance improvement for cacheable block reads
in the Bonnie benchmark. The more aggressive use of the dcache also seems
to improve metadata operational performance.

eCryptfs is gobbling a lot of stack in ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set()
because it allocates a temporary memory-hungry ecryptfs_key_record struct.
This patch introduces a new kmem_cache for that struct and converts

We're inserting deny's between some ACEs in order to enforce posix draft acl
semantics which prevent permissions from accumulating across entries in an
acl.
That's fine, but we're doing that by inserting a deny after *every* allow,
which is overkill. We shouldn't be adding them in places where they actually
make no difference.
Also replaced some helper functions for creating acl entries; I prefer just
assigning directly to the struct fields--it takes a few more lines, but the
field names provide some documentation that I think makes the result easier
understand.

The rfc allows us to be more permissive about the ACL inheritance bits we
accept:
"If the server supports a single "inherit ACE" flag that applies to
both files and directories, the server may reject the request
(i.e., requiring the client to set both the file and directory
inheritance flags). The server may also accept the request and
silently turn on the ACE4_DIRECTORY_INHERIT_ACE flag."
Let's take the latter option--the ACL is a complex attribute that could be
rejected for a wide variety of reasons, and the protocol gives us little
ability to explain the reason for the rejection, so erroring out is a
user-unfriendly last resort.

The server name is expected to be a null-terminated string, so we can't pass
in the raw client identifier.
What's more, the client identifier is just a binary, not necessarily
printable, blob. Let's just use the ip address instead. The server name
appears to exist just to help debugging by making some printk's more
informative.
Note that the string is copies into the rpc client structure, so the pointer
to the local variable does not outlive the function call.

Since the security checks are applied on each read and write of a sysctl file,
just like they are applied when calling sys_sysctl, they are redundant on the
standard VFS constructs. Since it is difficult to compute the security labels
on the standard VFS constructs we just mark the sysctl inodes in proc private
so selinux won't even bother with them.

With this change the sysctl inodes can be cached and nothing needs to be done
when removing a sysctl table.
For a cost of 2K code we will save about 4K of static tables (when we remove
de from ctl_table) and 70K in proc_dir_entries that we will not allocate, or
about half that on a 32bit arch.
The speed feels about the same, even though we can now cache the sysctl
dentries :(
We get the core advantage that we don't need to have a 1 to 1 mapping between
ctl table entries and proc files. Making it possible to have /proc/sys vary
depending on the namespace you are in. The currently merged namespaces don't
have an issue here but the network namespace under /proc/sys/net needs to have
different directories depending on which network adapters are visible. By
simply being a cache different directories being visible depending on who you
are is trivial to implement.

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.
I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.
So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

binfmt_misc has a mount point in the middle of the sysctl and that mount point
is created as a proc_generic directory.
Doing it that way gets in the way of cleaning up the sysctl proc support as it
continues the existence of a horrible hack. So instead simply create the
directory as an ordinary sysctl directory. At least that removes the magic
special case.

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

Add support for using a filesystem UUID to identify and export point in the
filehandle.
For NFSv2, this UUID is xor-ed down to 4 or 8 bytes so that it doesn't take up
too much room. For NFSv3+, we use the full 16 bytes, and possibly also a
64bit inode number for exports beneath the root of a filesystem.
When generating an fsid to return in 'stat' information, use the UUID (hashed
down to size) if it is available and a small 'fsid' was not specifically
provided.
