dd14cbc994 sysfs: fix race condition around sd->s_dentry, take#2
Allowing attribute and symlink dentries to be reclaimed means
sd->s_dentry can change dynamically.  However, updates to the field
are unsynchronized leading to race conditions.  This patch adds
sysfs_lock and use it to synchronize updates to sd->s_dentry.

Due to the locking around ->d_iput, the check in sysfs_drop_dentry()
is complex.  sysfs_lock only protect sd->s_dentry pointer itself.  The
validity of the dentry is protected by dcache_lock, so whether dentry
is alive or not can only be tested while holding both locks.

This is minimal backport of sysfs_drop_dentry() rewrite in devel
branch.

6aa054aadf sysfs: fix condition check in sysfs_drop_dentry()
The condition check doesn't make much sense as it basically always
succeeds.  This causes NULL dereferencing on certain cases.  It seems
that parentheses are put in the wrong place.  Fix it.

dc351252b3 sysfs: store sysfs inode nrs in s_ino to avoid readdir oopses
Backport of
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.22-rc1/2.6.22-rc1-mm1/broken-out/gregkh-driver-sysfs-allocate-inode-number-using-ida.patch

For regular files in sysfs, sysfs_readdir wants to traverse
sysfs_dirent->s_dentry->d_inode->i_ino to get to the inode number.
But, the dentry can be reclaimed under memory pressure, and there is
no synchronization with readdir.  This patch follows Tejun's scheme of
allocating and storing an inode number in the new s_ino member of a
sysfs_dirent, when dirents are created, and retrieving it from there
for readdir, so that the pointer chain doesn't have to be traversed.

Tejun's upstream patch uses a new-ish "ida" allocator which brings
along some extra complexity; this -stable patch has a brain-dead
incrementing counter which does not guarantee uniqueness, but because
sysfs doesn't hash inodes as iunique expects, uniqueness wasn't
guaranteed today anyway.

3ce53fc4c5 [CIFS] CIFS should honour umask
This patch makes CIFS honour a process' umask like other filesystems.
Of course the server is still free to munge the permissions if it wants
to; but the client will send the "right" permissions to begin with.

A few caveats:

1) It only applies to filesystems that have CAP_UNIX (aka support unix
extensions)
2) It applies the correct mode to the follow up CIFSSMBUnixSetPerms()
after remote creation

When mode to CIFS/NTFS ACL mapping is complete we can do the
same thing for that case for servers which do not
support the Unix Extensions.

620a324b74 splice: __generic_file_splice_read: fix read/truncate race
Original patch and description from Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>,
merged and adapted to splice branch by me. Neils text follows:

__generic_file_splice_read() currently samples the i_size at the start
and doesn't do so again unless it needs to call ->readpage to load
a page.  After ->readpage it has to re-sample i_size as a truncate
may have caused that page to be filled with zeros, and the read()
call should not see these.

However there are other activities that might cause ->readpage to be
called on a page between the time that __generic_file_splice_read()
samples i_size and when it finds that it has an uptodate page. These
include at least read-ahead and possibly another thread performing a
read

So we must sample i_size *after* it has an uptodate page.  Thus the
current sampling at the start and after a read can be replaced with a
sampling before page addition into spd.

df3c724426 [XFS] Write at EOF may not update filesize correctly.
The recent fix for preventing NULL files from being left around does not
update the file size corectly in all cases. The missing case is a write
extending the file that does not need to allocate a block.

In that case we used a read mapping of the extent which forced the use of
the read I/O completion handler instead of the write I/O completion
handle. Hence the file size was not updated on I/O completion.

f4d43bd579 fix compat console unimap regression
Why is it that since the 2f1a2ccb9c console
UTF-8 fixes went into 2.6.22-rc1, the PowerMac G5 shows only inverse video
question marks for the text on tty2-6? whereas tty1 is fine, and so is x86.

No fault of that patch: by removing the old fallback behaviour, it reveals
that 32-bit setfont running on 64-bit kernels has only really worked on
the current console, the rest getting faked by that inadequate fallback.

Bring the compat do_unimap_ioctl into line with the main one: PIO_UNIMAP
and GIO_UNIMAP apply to the specified tty, not redirected to fg_console.
Use the same checks, and most particularly, remember to check access_ok:
con_set_unimap and con_get_unimap are using __get_user and __put_user.

And the compat vt_check should ask for the same capability as the main
one, CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG rather than CAP_SYS_ADMIN.  Added in vt_ioctl's
vc_cons_allocated check for safety, though failure may well be impossible.

When processes are allowed to attempt to lock a non-contiguous range of nfs
write requests, it is possible for generic_writepages to 'wrap round' the
address space, and call writepage() on a request that is already locked by
the same process.

We avoid the deadlock by checking if the page index is contiguous with the
list of nfs write requests that is already held in our
nfs_pageio_descriptor prior to attempting to lock a new request.

53a2731f93 eCryptfs: delay writing 0's after llseek until write
Delay writing 0's out in eCryptfs after a seek past the end of the file
until data is actually written.

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/lseek.html

``The lseek() function shall not, by itself, extend the size of a
file.''

Without this fix, applications that lseek() past the end of the file without
writing will experience unexpected behavior.

b3762bfc8d signalfd: retrieve multiple signals with one read() call
Gathering signals in bulk enables server applications to drain a signal
queue (almost full of realtime signals) more efficiently by reducing the
syscall and file look-up overhead.

Very similar to the sigtimedwait4() call described by Niels Provos, Chuck
Lever, and Stephen Tweedie in a paper entitled "Analyzing the Overload
Behavior of a Simple Web Server".  The paper lists more details and
advantages.

ead5f0b5fa fuse: delete inode on drop
When inode is dropped (no more references) delete it from cache.

There's not much point in keeping it cached, when a new lookup will refresh
the attributes anyway.

This fixes O_APPEND in direct IO mode.  Also checks writes against file size
limits, notably rlimits.

We don't allow loading ELF shared library from noexec points so the
same should apply to sys_uselib aswell.
