Al Viro 5955102c99 wrappers for ->i_mutex access
parallel to mutex_{lock,unlock,trylock,is_locked,lock_nested},
inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex).

Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle
->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held
only shared.

Vladimir Davydov 5d097056c9 kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcg
Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from
userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to
memcg.  For the list, see below:

 - threadinfo
 - task_struct
 - task_delay_info
 - pid
 - cred
 - mm_struct
 - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
 - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
 - signal_struct
 - sighand_struct
 - fs_struct
 - files_struct
 - fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
 - dentry and external_name
 - inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
   most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.

The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds.  Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).

Al Viro 6b2553918d replace ->follow_link() with new method that could stay in RCU mode
new method: ->get_link(); replacement of ->follow_link().  The differences
are:
	* inode and dentry are passed separately
	* might be called both in RCU and non-RCU mode;
the former is indicated by passing it a NULL dentry.
	* when called that way it isn't allowed to block
and should return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD) if it needs to be called
in non-RCU mode.

It's a flagday change - the old method is gone, all in-tree instances
converted.  Conversion isn't hard; said that, so far very few instances
do not immediately bail out when called in RCU mode.  That'll change
in the next commits.

Andreas Gruenbacher 13d3408f10 ubifs: Remove unused security xattr handler
Ubifs installs a security xattr handler in sb->s_xattr but doesn't use the
generic_{get,set,list,remove}xattr inode operations needed for processing
this list of attribute handlers; the handler is never called.  Instead,
ubifs uses its own xattr handlers which also process security xattrs.

Remove the dead code.

Dongsheng Yang 8c1c5f2638 ubifs: introduce UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT to ubifs
To make ubifs support atime flexily, this commit introduces
a Kconfig option named as UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT.

With UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT=n:
	ubifs keeps the full compatibility to no_atime from
the start of ubifs.

=================UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT=n=======================
-o - no atime
-o atime - no atime
-o noatime - no atime
-o relatime - no atime
-o strictatime - no atime
-o lazyatime - no atime

With UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT=y:
	ubifs supports the atime same with other main stream
file systems.
=================UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT=y=======================
-o - default behavior (relatime currently)
-o atime - atime support
-o noatime - no atime support
-o relatime - relative atime support
-o strictatime - strict atime support
-o lazyatime - lazy atime support

Dongsheng Yang ab92a20bce ubifs: make ubifs_[get|set]xattr atomic
This commit make the ubifs_[get|set]xattr protected by ui_mutex.

Originally, there is a possibility that ubifs_getxattr to get
a wrong value.

  P1                                  P2
----------                  	----------
ubifs_getxattr                      ubifs_setxattr
					- kfree()
- memcpy()
					- kmemdup()

Then ubifs_getxattr() would get a non-sense data. To solve this
problem, this commit make the xattr of ubifs_inode updated in
atomic.

While the lockdep splat is a false positive, becuase path_openat holds i_mutex
of the parent directory and ubifs_init_security() tries to acquire i_mutex
of a new inode, it reveals that taking i_mutex in ubifs_init_security() is
in vain because it is only being called in the inode allocation path
and therefore nobody else can see the inode yet.

Sheng Yong 235c362bd0 UBIFS: extend debug/message capabilities
In the case where we have more than one volumes on different UBI
devices, it may be not that easy to tell which volume prints the
messages.  Add ubi number and volume id in ubifs_msg/warn/error
to help debug. These two values are passed by struct ubifs_info.

For those where ubifs_info is not initialized yet, ubifs_* is
replaced by pr_*. For those where ubifs_info is not avaliable,
ubifs_info is passed to the calling function as a const parameter.

The output looks like,

Sheng Yong 2c84599ca4 UBIFS: do not write master node if need recovery
The commits 781c571 ("UBIFS: intialize LPT earlier") and 0980119 ("UBIFS:
fix-up free space earlier") move some initialization before marking the
master node dirty. But the modification changes the conditions of writing
master.

If unclean umount happens, ubifs may fail when mounting. But trying to
mount it will write new master nodes on the flash. This is useless but
increasing sqnum. So check need_recovery before writing master node, and
don't create new master node if filesystem needs recovery.

hujianyang 88cff0f0fb UBIFS: return -EINVAL if log head is empty
CS node is recognized as a sign in UBIFS log replay mechanism.
Log relaying during mount should find the CS node in log head
at beginning and then replay the following uncommitted buds.

Here is a bug in log replay path: If the log head, which is
indicated by @log_lnum in mst_node, is empty, current UBIFS
replay nothing and directly mount the partition without any
warning. This action will put filesystem in an abnormal state,
e.g. space management in LPT area is incorrect to the real
space usage in main area.

We reproduced this bug by fault injection: turn log head leb
into all 0xFF. UBIFS driver mount the polluted partition
normally. But errors occur while running fs_stress on this
mount:

[89068.055183] UBI error: ubi_io_read: error -74 (ECC error) while reading 59 bytes from PEB 711:33088, read 59 bytes
[89068.179877] UBIFS error (pid 10517): ubifs_check_node: bad magic 0x101031, expected 0x6101831
[89068.179882] UBIFS error (pid 10517): ubifs_check_node: bad node at LEB 591:28992
[89068.179891] Not a node, first 24 bytes:

[89068.180282] UBIFS error (pid 10517): ubifs_read_node: expected node type 2

This patch fix the problem by checking *lnum* to guarantee
the empty leb is not log head leb and return an error if the
log head leb is incorrectly empty. After this, we could catch
*log head empty* error in place.

Christoph Hellwig b4caecd480 fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support
Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the
backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap
operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated
to it's original purpose.

Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to
the nommu mmap code instead.  Splitting this from the backing_dev_info
structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't
otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a
backing_dev_info for a character device.  It also removes the need for
the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

Richard Weinberger d577bc104f UBIFS: Remove bogus assert
This assertion was only correct before UBIFS had xattr support.
Now with xattr support also a directory node can carry data
and can act as host node.

Artem Bityutskiy ba29e721eb UBIFS: fix free log space calculation
Hu (hujianyang <hujianyang@huawei.com>) discovered an issue in the
'empty_log_bytes()' function, which calculates how many bytes are left in the
log:

"
If 'c->lhead_lnum + 1 == c->ltail_lnum' and 'c->lhead_offs == c->leb_size', 'h'
would equalent to 't' and 'empty_log_bytes()' would return 'c->log_bytes'
instead of 0.
"

At this point it is not clear what would be the consequences of this, and
whether this may lead to any problems, but this patch addresses the issue just
in case.

Artem Bityutskiy 052c28073f UBIFS: fix a race condition
Hu (hujianyang@huawei.com) discovered a race condition which may lead to a
situation when UBIFS is unable to mount the file-system after an unclean
reboot. The problem is theoretical, though.

In UBIFS, we have the log, which basically a set of LEBs in a certain area. The
log has the tail and the head.

Every time user writes data to the file-system, the UBIFS journal grows, and
the log grows as well, because we append new reference nodes to the head of the
log. So the head moves forward all the time, while the log tail stays at the
same position.

At any time, the UBIFS master node points to the tail of the log. When we mount
the file-system, we scan the log, and we always start from its tail, because
this is where the master node points to. The only occasion when the tail of the
log changes is the commit operation.

The commit operation has 2 phases - "commit start" and "commit end". The former
is relatively short, and does not involve much I/O. During this phase we mostly
just build various in-memory lists of the things which have to be written to
the flash media during "commit end" phase.

During the commit start phase, what we do is we "clean" the log. Indeed, the
commit operation will index all the data in the journal, so the entire journal
"disappears", and therefore the data in the log become unneeded. So we just
move the head of the log to the next LEB, and write the CS node there. This LEB
will be the tail of the new log when the commit operation finishes.

When the "commit start" phase finishes, users may write more data to the
file-system, in parallel with the ongoing "commit end" operation. At this point
the log tail was not changed yet, it is the same as it had been before we
started the commit. The log head keeps moving forward, though.

The commit operation now needs to write the new master node, and the new master
node should point to the new log tail. After this the LEBs between the old log
tail and the new log tail can be unmapped and re-used again.

And here is the possible problem. We do 2 operations: (a) We first update the
log tail position in memory (see 'ubifs_log_end_commit()'). (b) And then we
write the master node (see the big lock of code in 'do_commit()').

But nothing prevents the log head from moving forward between (a) and (b), and
the log head may "wrap" now to the old log tail. And when the "wrap" happens,
the contends of the log tail gets erased. Now a power cut happens and we are in
trouble. We end up with the old master node pointing to the old tail, which was
erased. And replay fails because it expects the master node to point to the
correct log tail at all times.

This patch merges the abovementioned (a) and (b) operations by moving the master
node change code to the 'ubifs_log_end_commit()' function, so that it runs with
the log mutex locked, which will prevent the log from being changed benween
operations (a) and (b).
