Fix RedHat bug 329431
The idea here is separate "conscious" from "unconscious" flushes.
Conscious flushes are those due to a fsync() or close(). Unconscious
ones are flushes that occur as a side effect of some other operation or
due to memory pressure.
Currently, when an error occurs during an unconscious flush (ENOSPC or
EIO), we toss out the page and don't preserve that error to report to
the user when a conscious flush occurs. If after the unconscious flush,
there are no more dirty pages for the inode, the conscious flush will
simply return success even though there were previous errors when writing
out pages. This can lead to data corruption.
The easiest way to reproduce this is to mount up a CIFS share that's
very close to being full or where the user is very close to quota. mv
a file to the share that's slightly larger than the quota allows. The
writes will all succeed (since they go to pagecache). The mv will do a
setattr to set the new file's attributes. This calls
filemap_write_and_wait,
which will return an error since all of the pages can't be written out.
Then later, when the flush and release ops occur, there are no more
dirty pages in pagecache for the file and those operations return 0. mv
then assumes that the file was written out correctly and deletes the
original.
CIFS already has a write_behind_rc variable where it stores the results
from earlier flushes, but that value is only reported in cifs_close.
Since the VFS ignores the return value from the release operation, this
isn't helpful. We should be reporting this error during the flush
operation.
This patch does the following:
1) changes cifs_fsync to use filemap_write_and_wait and cifs_flush and also
sync to check its return code. If it returns successful, they then check
the value of write_behind_rc to see if an earlier flush had reported any
errors. If so, they return that error and clear write_behind_rc.
2) sets write_behind_rc in a few other places where pages are written
out as a side effect of other operations and the code waits on them.
3) changes cifs_setattr to only call filemap_write_and_wait for
ATTR_SIZE changes.
4) makes cifs_writepages accurately distinguish between EIO and ENOSPC
errors when writing out pages.
Some simple testing indicates that the patch works as expected and that
it fixes the reproduceable known problem.

sys_open / sys_read were used in the early 1.2 days to load firmware from
disk inside drivers. Since 2.0 or so this was deprecated behavior, but
several drivers still were using this. Since a few years we have a
request_firmware() API that implements this in a nice, consistent way.
Only some old ISA sound drivers (pre-ALSA) still straggled along for some
time.... however with commit c2b1239a9f the
last user is now gone.
This is a good thing, since using sys_open / sys_read etc for firmware is a
very buggy to dangerous thing to do; these operations put an fd in the
process file descriptor table.... which then can be tampered with from
other threads for example. For those who don't want the firmware loader,
filp_open()/vfs_read are the better APIs to use, without this security
issue.
The patch below marks sys_open and sys_read unused now that they're
really not used anymore, and for deletion in the 2.6.25 timeframe.

This is not a new problem in 2.6.23-git17. 2.6.22/2.6.23 is buggy in the
same way.
Reiserfs could accumulate dirty sub-page-size files until umount time.
They cannot be synced to disk by pdflush routines or explicit `sync'
commands. Only `umount' can do the trick.
The direct cause is: the dirty page's PG_dirty is wrongly _cleared_.

Fix the bug by removing the cancel_dirty_page() call. Tests show that
it causes no bad behaviors on various write sizes.

Here are more detailed demonstrations of the problem.
1) the page has both PG_dirty(D)/PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY(d) after being written to;
and then only PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY(d) remains after the file is closed.

I found a few bugs in the BFS driver. Detailed description of the bugs as
well as the steps to reproduce the errors are given in the kernel bugzilla.
Please follow these links for more information:

This patch fixes the bugs described above. Besides, the patch introduces
coding style changes to make the BFS driver conform to the requirements
specified for Linux kernel code. Finally, I made a few cosmetic changes
such as removal of trivial debug output.
Also, the patch removes the fields `si_lf_ioff' and `si_lf_sblk' of the
in-core superblock structure. These fields are initialized but never
actually used.
If you are wondering why I need BFS, here is the answer: I am using this
driver in the context of Linux kernel classes I am teaching in the Moscow
State University and in the International Institute of Information
Technology in Pune, India.

The hugetlbfs quota management system was never taught to handle MAP_PRIVATE
mappings when that support was added. Currently, quota is debited at page
instantiation and credited at file truncation. This approach works correctly
for shared pages but is incomplete for private pages. In addition to
hugetlb_no_page(), private pages can be instantiated by hugetlb_cow(); but
this function does not respect quotas.
Private huge pages are treated very much like normal, anonymous pages. They
are not "backed" by the hugetlbfs file and are not stored in the mapping's
radix tree. This means that private pages are invisible to
truncate_hugepages() so that function will not credit the quota.
This patch (based on a prototype provided by Ken Chen) moves quota crediting
for all pages into free_huge_page(). page->private is used to store a pointer
to the mapping to which this page belongs. This is used to credit quota on
the appropriate hugetlbfs instance.

This reverts commit 7c9e69faa2, fixing up

The cost of doing the bitmap validation on each lookup - even when the
bitmap is cached - is absolutely prohibitive. We could, and probably
should, do it only when adding the bitmap to the buffer cache. However,
right now we are better off just reverting it.
Peter Zijlstra measured the cost of this extra validation as a 85%
decrease in cached iozone, and while I had a patch that took it down to
just 17% by not being _quite_ so stupid in the validation, it was still
a big slowdown that could have been avoided by just doing it right.

As with commit 7fc90ec93a ("knfsd: nfsd:
call nfsd_setuser() on fh_compose(), fix nfsd4 permissions problem")
this is a case where we need to redo a security check in fh_verify()
even though the filehandle already has an associated dentry--if the
filehandle was created by fh_compose() in an earlier operation of the
nfsv4 compound, then we may not have done these checks yet.
Without this fix it is possible, for example, to traverse from an export
without the secure ports requirement to one with it in a single
compound, and bypass the secure port check on the new export.
While we're here, fix up some minor style problems and change a printk()

The coredump code always calls set_dumpable(0) when it starts (even
if RLIMIT_CORE prevents any core from being dumped). The effect of
this (via task_dumpable) is to make /proc/pid/* files owned by root
instead of the user, so the user can no longer examine his own
process--in a case where there was never any privileged data to
protect. This affects e.g. auxv, environ, fd; in Fedora (execshield)
kernels, also maps. In practice, you can only notice this when a
debugger has requested PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT tracing.
set_dumpable was only used in do_coredump for synchronization and not
intended for any security purpose. (It doesn't secure anything that wasn't
already unsecured when a process dies by SIGTERM instead of SIGQUIT.)
This changes do_coredump to check the core_waiters count as the means of
synchronization, which is sufficient. Now we leave the "dumpable" bits alone.

When a share is mounted using no username, cifs_mount sets
volume_info.username as a NULL pointer, and the sesInfo userName as an
empty string. The volume_info.username is passed to a couple of other
functions to see if there is an existing unc or tcp connection that can
be used. These functions assume that the username will be a valid
string that can be passed to strncmp. If the pointer is NULL, then the
kernel will oops if there's an existing session to which the string
can be compared.
This patch changes cifs_mount to set volume_info.username to an empty
string in this situation, which prevents the oops and should make it
so that the comparison to other null auth sessions match.

When mounted with cifsacl mount option, readdir can not
instantiate the inode with the estimated mode based on the ACL
for each file since we have not queried for the ACL for
each of these files yet. So set the refresh time to zero
for these inodes so that the next stat will cause the client
to go to the server for the ACL info so we can build the estimated
mode (this means we also will issue an extra QueryPathInfo if
the stat happens within 1 second, but this is trivial compared to
the time required to open/getacl/close for each).

DENY entries then follow with ALLOW, otherwise an allow entry

If we have not yet created a cluster lock, ocfs2_cluster_lock() will
first create it at NLMODE, and then convert the lock to either PRMODE or
EXMODE (whichever is requested).
Change ocfs2_cluster_lock() to just create the lock at the initially
requested level. ocfs2_locking_ast() handles this case fine, so the only
update required was in setup of locking state. This should reduce the number
of network messages required for a new lock by one, providing an incremental
