a379cd1d6b ext4: Update i_disksize properly when allocating from fallocate area.
When allocating unitialized space at the end of file which had been
preallocated with the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE option, the file size is not
updated at that time.  But the later we are not updating the file size
when writing to that preallocated space.

These changes are for code correctness.  This patch allows us to update
the i_disksize at the write_end() callback of filesystem properly.

530576bbf3 jbd2: fix race between jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() and jbd2 commit transaction
journal_try_to_free_buffers() could race with jbd commit transaction
when the later is holding the buffer reference while waiting for the
data buffer to flush to disk. If the caller of
journal_try_to_free_buffers() request tries hard to release the buffers,
it will treat the failure as error and return back to the caller. We
have seen the directo IO failed due to this race.  Some of the caller of
releasepage() also expecting the buffer to be dropped when passed with
GFP_KERNEL mask to the releasepage()->journal_try_to_free_buffers().

With this patch, if the caller is passing the GFP_KERNEL to indicating
this call could wait, in case of try_to_free_buffers() failed, let's
waiting for journal_commit_transaction() to finish commit the current
committing transaction , then try to free those buffers again with
journal locked.

772cb7c83b ext4: New inode allocation for FLEX_BG meta-data groups.
This patch mostly controls the way inode are allocated in order to
make ialloc aware of flex_bg block group grouping.  It achieves this
by bypassing the Orlov allocator when block group meta-data are packed
toghether through mke2fs.  Since the impact on the block allocator is
minimal, this patch should have little or no effect on other block
allocation algorithms. By controlling the inode allocation, it can
basically control where the initial search for new block begins and
thus indirectly manipulate the block allocator.

This allocator favors data and meta-data locality so the disk will
gradually be filled from block group zero upward.  This helps improve
performance by reducing seek time.  Since the group of inode tables
within one flex_bg are treated as one giant inode table, uninitialized
block groups would not need to partially initialize as many inode
table as with Orlov which would help fsck time as the filesystem usage
goes up.

{
	unsigned x = 0;

	while (x < size) {
		unsigned long val = *addr++;
		if (val)
			return __ffs(val) + x;
		x += (sizeof(*addr)<<3);

	return x;

536abdb080 cifs: fix wksidarr declaration to be big-endian friendly
The current definition of wksidarr works fine on little endian arches
(since cpu_to_le32 is a no-op there), but on big-endian arches, it fails
to compile with this error:

error: braced-group within expression allowed only inside a function

The problem is that this static declaration has cpu_to_le32 embedded
within it, and that expands into a function macro.  We need to use
__constant_cpu_to_le32() instead.

e911d0cc87 cifs: fix inode leak in cifs_get_inode_info_unix
Try this:

    mount a share with unix extensions
    create a file on it
    umount the share

You'll get the following message in the ring buffer:

VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of cifs. Self-destruct in 5 seconds.  Have a
nice day...

...the problem is that cifs_get_inode_info_unix is creating and hashing
a new inode even when it's going to return error anyway. The first
lookup when creating a file returns an error so we end up leaking this
inode before we do the actual create. This appears to be a regression
caused by commit 0e4bbde94f.

The following patch seems to fix it for me, and fixes a minor
formatting nit as well.

49641f1acf Fix reference counting race on log buffers
When we release the iclog, we do an atomic_dec_and_lock to determine if
we are the last reference and need to trigger update of log headers and
writeout.  However, in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() we also need to
check if we have the last reference count there.  If we do, we release
the log buffer, otherwise we decrement the reference count.

But the compare and decrement in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() is not
atomic, so both places can see a reference count of 2 and neither will
release the iclog.  That leads to a filesystem hang.

Close the race by replacing the atomic_read() and atomic_dec() pair with
atomic_add_unless() to ensure that they are executed atomically.

96a8e13ed4 exec: fix stack excutability without PT_GNU_STACK
Kernel Bugzilla #11063 points out that on some architectures (e.g. x86_32)
exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program header should default to an
executable stack; but this got broken by the unlimited argv feature because
stack vma is now created before the right personality has been established:
so breaking old binaries using nested function trampolines.

Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack
vm_flags used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup.  Checking through
our existing VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct:
so this seems safer than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.

2aac05a919 NFS: Fix readdir cache invalidation
invalidate_inode_pages2_range() takes page offset arguments, not byte

Another thought is that individual pages might perhaps get evicted by VM
pressure, in which case we might perhaps want to re-read not only the
evicted page, but all subsequent pages too (in case the server returns
more/less data per page so that the alignment of the next entry
changes). We should therefore remove the condition that we only do this on
page->index==0.

086f7316f0 security: filesystem capabilities: fix fragile setuid fixup code
This commit includes a bugfix for the fragile setuid fixup code in the
case that filesystem capabilities are supported (in access()).  The effect
of this fix is gated on filesystem capability support because changing
securebits is only supported when filesystem capabilities support is
configured.)

c4a2d7fbec ecryptfs: remove unnecessary mux from ecryptfs_init_ecryptfs_miscdev()
The misc_mtx should provide all the protection required to keep the daemon
hash table sane during miscdev registration.  Since this mutex is causing
gratuitous lockdep warnings, this patch removes it.

2e4bef41a0 9p: fix O_APPEND in legacy mode
The legacy protocol's open operation doesn't handle an append operation
(it is expected that the client take care of it).  We were incorrectly
passing the extended protocol's flag through even in legacy mode.  This
was reported in bugzilla report #10689.  This patch fixes the problem
by disallowing extended protocol open modes from being passed in legacy
mode and implemented append functionality on the client side by adding
a seek after the open.

18ce3751cc Properly notify block layer of sync writes
fsync_buffers_list() and sync_dirty_buffer() both issue async writes and
then immediately wait on them. Conceptually, that makes them sync writes
and we should treat them as such so that the IO schedulers can handle
them appropriately.

This patch fixes a write starvation issue that Lin Ming reported, where
xx is stuck for more than 2 minutes because of a large number of
synchronous IO in the system:

INFO: task kjournald:20558 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this

Lin Ming confirms that this patch fixes the issue. I've run tests with
it for the past week and no ill effects have been observed, so I'm
proposing it for inclusion into 2.6.26.
