Nick Piggin fa0d7e3de6 fs: icache RCU free inodes
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:

- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
  permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
  to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
  the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
  page lock to follow page->mapping.

The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.

In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.

The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

Christoph Hellwig 85fe4025c6 fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inode
Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode
move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it.
For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is
the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino
by themselves.  For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning
any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others
it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed,
but that's left for later patches.

Arnd Bergmann 6038f373a3 llseek: automatically add .llseek fop
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

André Goddard Rosa a3ed2a1571 mqueue: fix kernel BUG caused by double free() on mq_open()
In case of aborting because we reach the maximum amount of memory which
can be allocated to message queues per user (RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE), we would
try to free the message area twice when bailing out: first by the error
handling code itself, and then later when cleaning up the inode through
delete_inode().

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Serge E. Hallyn 7eafd7c74c namespaces: ipc namespaces: implement support for posix msqueues
Implement multiple mounts of the mqueue file system, and link it to usage
of CLONE_NEWIPC.

Each ipc ns has a corresponding mqueuefs superblock.  When a user does
clone(CLONE_NEWIPC) or unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), the unshare will cause an
internal mount of a new mqueuefs sb linked to the new ipc ns.

When a user does 'mount -t mqueue mqueue /dev/mqueue', he mounts the
mqueuefs superblock.

Posix message queues can be worked with both through the mq_* system calls
(see mq_overview(7)), and through the VFS through the mqueue mount.  Any
usage of mq_open() and friends will work with the acting task's ipc
namespace.  Any actions through the VFS will work with the mqueuefs in
which the file was created.  So if a user doesn't remount mqueuefs after
unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), mq_open("/ab") will not be reflected in "ls
/dev/mqueue".

If task a mounts mqueue for ipc_ns:1, then clones task b with a new ipcns,
ipcns:2, and then task a is the last task in ipc_ns:1 to exit, then (1)
ipc_ns:1 will be freed, (2) it's superblock will live on until task b
umounts the corresponding mqueuefs, and vfs actions will continue to
succeed, but (3) sb->s_fs_info will be NULL for the sb corresponding to
the deceased ipc_ns:1.

To make this happen, we must protect the ipc reference count when

a) a task exits and drops its ipcns->count, since it might be dropping
   it to 0 and freeing the ipcns

b) a task accesses the ipcns through its mqueuefs interface, since it
   bumps the ipcns refcount and might race with the last task in the ipcns
   exiting.

So the kref is changed to an atomic_t so we can use
atomic_dec_and_lock(&ns->count,mq_lock), and every access to the ipcns
through ns = mqueuefs_sb->s_fs_info is protected by the same lock.

Serge E. Hallyn 614b84cf4e namespaces: mqueue ns: move mqueue_mnt into struct ipc_namespace
Move mqueue vfsmount plus a few tunables into the ipc_namespace struct.
The CONFIG_IPC_NS boolean and the ipc_namespace struct will serve both the
posix message queue namespaces and the SYSV ipc namespaces.

The sysctl code will be fixed separately in patch 3.  After just this
patch, making a change to posix mqueue tunables always changes the values
in the initial ipc namespace.

Traditionally, changes to struct file->f_flags have been done under BKL
protection, or with no protection at all.  This patch causes all f_flags

Sukadev Bhattiprolu a6684999f7 mqueue: fix si_pid value in mqueue do_notify()
If a process registers for asynchronous notification on a POSIX message
queue, it gets a signal and a siginfo_t structure when a message arrives
on the message queue.  The si_pid in the siginfo_t structure is set to the
PID of the process that sent the message to the message queue.

The principle is the following:
. when mq_notify(SIGEV_SIGNAL) is called, the caller registers for
  notification when a msg arrives. The associated pid structure is stroed into
  inode_info->notify_owner. Let's call this process P1.
. when mq_send() is called by say P2, P2 sends a signal to P1 to notify
  him about msg arrival.

The way .si_pid is set today is not correct, since it doesn't take into account
the fact that the process that is sending the message might not be in the
same namespace as the notified one.

This patch proposes to set si_pid to the sender's pid into the notify_owner
namespace.

Joe Korty b231cca438 message queues: increase range limits
Increase the range of various posix message queue limits.

Posix gives the message queue user the ability to 'trade off' the maximum
size of messages with the number of possible messages that can be 'in
flight'.  Linux currently makes this trade off more restrictive than it
needs to be.

In particular, the maximum message size today can be made no smaller than
8192.  This greatly restricts those applications that would like to have
the ability to post large numbers of very small messages.

So this task lowers the limit that the maximum message size can be set to,
from 8192 to 128.  It also lowers the limit that the maximum #number of
messages in flight can be set to, from 10 to 1.

With these changes the message queue user can make better trade offs
between #messages and message size, in order to get everything to fit
within the setrlimit(RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE) limit for that particular user.

This patch also applies the values in

	/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_max
	/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msgsize_max

as the defaults for the max #messages allowed and the max message size
allowed, respectively, for those applications that do not supply these.
Previously, the defaults were hardwired to 10 and 8192, respectively.

Dave Hansen 4a3fd211cc [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: elevate write count for open()s
This is the first really tricky patch in the series.  It elevates the writer
count on a mount each time a non-special file is opened for write.

We used to do this in may_open(), but Miklos pointed out that __dentry_open()
is used as well to create filps.  This will cover even those cases, while a
call in may_open() would not have.

There is also an elevated count around the vfs_create() call in open_namei().
See the comments for more details, but we need this to fix a 'create, remount,
fail r/w open()' race.

Some filesystems forego the use of normal vfs calls to create
struct files.   Make sure that these users elevate the mnt
writer count because they will get __fput(), and we need
to make sure they're balanced.
