Miklos Szeredi fed474857e fsnotify: don't BUG in fsnotify_destroy_mark()
Removing the parent of a watched file results in "kernel BUG at
fs/notify/mark.c:139".

To reproduce

  add "-w /tmp/audit/dir/watched_file" to audit.rules
  rm -rf /tmp/audit/dir

This is caused by fsnotify_destroy_mark() being called without an
extra reference taken by the caller.

Reported by Francesco Cosoleto here:

  https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689860

Fix by removing the BUG_ON and adding a comment about not accessing mark after
the iput.

Gleb Natapov 69e4747ee9 Unused iocbs in a batch should not be accounted as active.
Since commit 080d676de0 ("aio: allocate kiocbs in batches") iocbs are
allocated in a batch during processing of first iocbs.  All iocbs in a
batch are automatically added to ctx->active_reqs list and accounted in
ctx->reqs_active.

If one (not the last one) of iocbs submitted by an user fails, further
iocbs are not processed, but they are still present in ctx->active_reqs
and accounted in ctx->reqs_active.  This causes process to stuck in a D
state in wait_for_all_aios() on exit since ctx->reqs_active will never
go down to zero.  Furthermore since kiocb_batch_free() frees iocb
without removing it from active_reqs list the list become corrupted
which may cause oops.

Fix this by removing iocb from ctx->active_reqs and updating
ctx->reqs_active in kiocb_batch_free().

Artem Bityutskiy 515315a123 UBIFS: fix key printing
Before commit 56e46742e8 we have had locking
around all printing macros and we could use static buffers for creating
key strings and printing them. However, now we do not have that locking and
we cannot use static buffers. This commit removes the old DBGKEY() macros
and introduces few new helper macros for printing debugging messages plus
a key at the end. Thankfully, all the messages are already structures in
a way that the key is printed in the end.

Linus Torvalds 099469502f Merge branch 'akpm' (aka "Andrew's patch-bomb, take two")
Andrew explains:

 - various misc stuff

 - Most of the rest of MM: memcg, threaded hugepages, others.

 - cpumask

 - kexec

 - kdump

 - some direct-io performance tweaking

 - radix-tree optimisations

 - new selftests code

   A note on this: often people will develop a new userspace-visible
   feature and will develop userspace code to exercise/test that
   feature.  Then they merge the patch and the selftest code dies.
   Sometimes we paste it into the changelog.  Sometimes the code gets
   thrown into Documentation/(!).

   This saddens me.  So this patch creates a bare-bones framework which
   will henceforth allow me to ask people to include their test apps in
   the kernel tree so we can keep them alive.  Then when people enhance
   or fix the feature, I can ask them to update the test app too.

   The infrastruture is terribly trivial at present - let's see how it
   evolves.

 - checkpoint/restart feature work.

   A note on this: this is a project by various mad Russians to perform
   c/r mainly from userspace, with various oddball helper code added
   into the kernel where the need is demonstrated.

   So rather than some large central lump of code, what we have is
   little bits and pieces popping up in various places which either
   expose something new or which permit something which is normally
   kernel-private to be modified.

   The overall project is an ongoing thing.  I've judged that the size
   and scope of the thing means that we're more likely to be successful
   with it if we integrate the support into mainline piecemeal rather
   than allowing it all to develop out-of-tree.

   However I'm less confident than the developers that it will all
   eventually work! So what I'm asking them to do is to wrap each piece
   of new code inside CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.  So if it all
   eventually comes to tears and the project as a whole fails, it should
   be a simple matter to go through and delete all trace of it.

This lot pretty much wraps up the -rc1 merge for me.

Cyrill Gorcunov b3f7f573a2 c/r: procfs: add start_data, end_data, start_brk members to /proc/$pid/stat v4
The mm->start_code/end_code, mm->start_data/end_data, mm->start_brk are
involved into calculation of program text/data segment sizes (which might
be seen in /proc/<pid>/statm) and into brk() call final address.

For restore we need to know all these values.  While
mm->start_code/end_code already present in /proc/$pid/stat, the rest
members are not, so this patch brings them in.

The restore procedure of these members is addressed in another patch using
prctl().

Andi Kleen 65dd2aa90a dio: optimize cache misses in the submission path
Some investigation of a transaction processing workload showed that a
major consumer of cycles in __blockdev_direct_IO is the cache miss while
accessing the block size.  This is because it has to walk the chain from
block_dev to gendisk to queue.

The block size is needed early on to check alignment and sizes.  It's only
done if the check for the inode block size fails.  But the costly block
device state is unconditionally fetched.

- Reorganize the code to only fetch block dev state when actually
  needed.

Then do a prefetch on the block dev early on in the direct IO path.  This
is worth it, because there is substantial code run before we actually
touch the block dev now.

- I also added some unlikelies to make it clear the compiler that block
  device fetch code is not normally executed.

This gave a small, but measurable improvement on a large database
benchmark (about 0.3%)

Andi Kleen 87192a2a49 vfs: cache request_queue in struct block_device
This makes it possible to get from the inode to the request_queue with one
less cache miss.  Used in followon optimization.

The livetime of the pointer is the same as the gendisk.

This assumes that the queue will always stay the same in the gendisk while
it's visible to block_devices.  I think that's safe correct?

Tao Ma ae55e1aaa7 fs/direct-io.c: calculate fs_count correctly in get_more_blocks()
In get_more_blocks(), we use dio_count to calcuate fs_count and do some
tricky things to increase fs_count if dio_count isn't aligned.  But
actually it still has some corner cases that can't be coverd.  See the
following example:

	dio_write foo -s 1024 -w 4096

(direct write 4096 bytes at offset 1024).  The same goes if the offset
isn't aligned to fs_blocksize.

In this case, the old calculation counts fs_count to be 1, but actually we
will write into 2 different blocks (if fs_blocksize=4096).  The old code
just works, since it will call get_block twice (and may have to allocate
and create extents twice for filesystems like ext4).  So we'd better call
get_block just once with the proper fs_count.

Mel Gorman a6bc32b899 mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for use by compaction
This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage.  Async compaction
maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT.
For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is
used.

This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time,
particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a
large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support
->writepages.

Mel Gorman b969c4ab9f mm: compaction: determine if dirty pages can be migrated without blocking within ->migratepage
Asynchronous compaction is used when allocating transparent hugepages to
avoid blocking for long periods of time.  Due to reports of stalling,
there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely
impacted allocation success rates.  Part of the reason was that many dirty
pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check;

	if (PageDirty(page) && !sync &&
		mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page)
			rc = -EBUSY;

This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though
it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking.  This
patch updates the ->migratepage callback with a "sync" parameter.  It is
the responsibility of the callback to fail gracefully if migration would
block.

Jason Baron 28d82dc1c4 epoll: limit paths
The current epoll code can be tickled to run basically indefinitely in
both loop detection path check (on ep_insert()), and in the wakeup paths.
The programs that tickle this behavior set up deeply linked networks of
epoll file descriptors that cause the epoll algorithms to traverse them
indefinitely.  A couple of these sample programs have been previously
posted in this thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/25/297.

To fix the loop detection path check algorithms, I simply keep track of
the epoll nodes that have been already visited.  Thus, the loop detection
becomes proportional to the number of epoll file descriptor and links.
This dramatically decreases the run-time of the loop check algorithm.  In
one diabolical case I tried it reduced the run-time from 15 mintues (all
in kernel time) to .3 seconds.

Fixing the wakeup paths could be done at wakeup time in a similar manner
by keeping track of nodes that have already been visited, but the
complexity is harder, since there can be multiple wakeups on different
cpus...Thus, I've opted to limit the number of possible wakeup paths when
the paths are created.

This is accomplished, by noting that the end file descriptor points that
are found during the loop detection pass (from the newly added link), are
actually the sources for wakeup events.  I keep a list of these file
descriptors and limit the number and length of these paths that emanate
from these 'source file descriptors'.  In the current implemetation I
allow 1000 paths of length 1, 500 of length 2, 100 of length 3, 50 of
length 4 and 10 of length 5.  Note that it is sufficient to check the
'source file descriptors' reachable from the newly added link, since no
other 'source file descriptors' will have newly added links.  This allows
us to check only the wakeup paths that may have gotten too long, and not
re-check all possible wakeup paths on the system.

In terms of the path limit selection, I think its first worth noting that
the most common case for epoll, is probably the model where you have 1
epoll file descriptor that is monitoring n number of 'source file
descriptors'.  In this case, each 'source file descriptor' has a 1 path of
length 1.  Thus, I believe that the limits I'm proposing are quite
reasonable and in fact may be too generous.  Thus, I'm hoping that the
proposed limits will not prevent any workloads that currently work to
fail.

In terms of locking, I have extended the use of the 'epmutex' to all
epoll_ctl add and remove operations.  Currently its only used in a subset
of the add paths.  I need to hold the epmutex, so that we can correctly
traverse a coherent graph, to check the number of paths.  I believe that
this additional locking is probably ok, since its in the setup/teardown
paths, and doesn't affect the running paths, but it certainly is going to
add some extra overhead.  Also, worth noting is that the epmuex was
recently added to the ep_ctl add operations in the initial path loop
detection code using the argument that it was not on a critical path.

Another thing to note here, is the length of epoll chains that is allowed.
Currently, eventpoll.c defines:

/* Maximum number of nesting allowed inside epoll sets */
#define EP_MAX_NESTS 4

This basically means that I am limited to a graph depth of 5 (EP_MAX_NESTS
+ 1).  However, this limit is currently only enforced during the loop
check detection code, and only when the epoll file descriptors are added
in a certain order.  Thus, this limit is currently easily bypassed.  The
newly added check for wakeup paths, stricly limits the wakeup paths to a
length of 5, regardless of the order in which ep's are linked together.
Thus, a side-effect of the new code is a more consistent enforcement of
the graph depth.

Thus far, I've tested this, using the sample programs previously
mentioned, which now either return quickly or return -EINVAL.  I've also
testing using the piptest.c epoll tester, which showed no difference in
performance.  I've also created a number of different epoll networks and
tested that they behave as expectded.

I believe this solves the original diabolical test cases, while still
preserving the sane epoll nesting.

Rusty Russell 69116f279a module_param: avoid bool abuse, add bint for special cases.
For historical reasons, we allow module_param(bool) to take an int (or
an unsigned int).  That's going away.

A few drivers really want an int: they set it to -1 and a parameter
will set it to 0 or 1.  This sucks: reading them from sysfs will give
'Y' for both -1 and 1, but if we change it to an int, then the users
might be broken (if they did "param" instead of "param=1").

Use a new 'bint' parser for them.

(ntfs has a different problem: it needs an int for debug_msgs because
it's also exposed via sysctl.)

Alex Elder 83eb26af0d ceph: ensure prealloc_blob is in place when removing xattr
In __ceph_build_xattrs_blob(), if a ceph inode's extended attributes
are marked dirty, all attributes recorded in its rb_tree index are
formatted into a "blob" buffer.  The target buffer is recorded in
ceph_inode->i_xattrs.prealloc_blob, and it is expected to exist and
be of sufficient size to hold the attributes.

The extended attributes are marked dirty in two cases: when a new
attribute is added to the inode; or when one is removed.  In the
former case work is done to ensure the prealloc_blob buffer is
properly set up, but in the latter it is not.

Change the logic in ceph_removexattr() so it matches what is
done in ceph_setxattr().  Note that this is done in a way that
keeps the two blocks of code nearly identical, in anticipation
of a subsequent patch that encapsulates some of this logic into
one or more helper routines.

Artem Bityutskiy d34315da91 UBIFS: fix debugging messages
Patch 56e46742e8 broke UBIFS debugging messages:
before that commit when UBIFS debugging was enabled, users saw few useful
debugging messages after mount. However, that patch turned 'dbg_msg()' into
'pr_debug()', so to enable the debugging messages users have to enable them
first via /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control, which is very impractical.

This commit makes 'dbg_msg()' to use 'printk()' instead of 'pr_debug()', just
as it was before the breakage.

now we do not control anymore whether a specific message is enabled or not.
So now we lock the "dbg_lock" and release it in every debugging macro, which
make them not so light-weight.

This commit removes the "dbg_lock" protection from the debugging macros to
fix the issue.

The downside is that now our DBGKEY() stuff is broken, but this is not

David Teigland e8ca5cc571 GFS2: let spectator mount do read only recovery
Previously, a spectator mount would not even attempt to do
journal recovery for a failed node.  This meant that if all
mounted nodes were spectators, everyone would be stuck after
a node failed, all waiting for recovery to be performed.
This is unnecessary since the failed node had a clean journal.

Instead, allow a spectator mount to do a partial "read only"
recovery, which means it will check if the failed journal is
clean, and if so, report a successful recovery.  If the failed
journal is not clean, it reports that journal recovery failed.
This makes it work the same as a read only mount on a read only
block device.

Vasiliy Kulikov 0499680a42 procfs: add hidepid= and gid= mount options
Add support for mount options to restrict access to /proc/PID/
directories.  The default backward-compatible "relaxed" behaviour is left
untouched.

The first mount option is called "hidepid" and its value defines how much
info about processes we want to be available for non-owners:

hidepid=0 (default) means the old behavior - anybody may read all
world-readable /proc/PID/* files.

hidepid=1 means users may not access any /proc/<pid>/ directories, but
their own.  Sensitive files like cmdline, sched*, status are now protected
against other users.  As permission checking done in proc_pid_permission()
and files' permissions are left untouched, programs expecting specific
files' modes are not confused.

hidepid=2 means hidepid=1 plus all /proc/PID/ will be invisible to other
users.  It doesn't mean that it hides whether a process exists (it can be
learned by other means, e.g.  by kill -0 $PID), but it hides process' euid
and egid.  It compicates intruder's task of gathering info about running
processes, whether some daemon runs with elevated privileges, whether
another user runs some sensitive program, whether other users run any
program at all, etc.

gid=XXX defines a group that will be able to gather all processes' info
(as in hidepid=0 mode).  This group should be used instead of putting
nonroot user in sudoers file or something.  However, untrusted users (like
daemons, etc.) which are not supposed to monitor the tasks in the whole
system should not be added to the group.

hidepid=1 or higher is designed to restrict access to procfs files, which
might reveal some sensitive private information like precise keystrokes
timings:

http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2011/11/05/3

hidepid=1/2 doesn't break monitoring userspace tools.  ps, top, pgrep, and
conky gracefully handle EPERM/ENOENT and behave as if the current user is
the only user running processes.  pstree shows the process subtree which
contains "pstree" process.

Note: the patch doesn't deal with setuid/setgid issues of keeping
preopened descriptors of procfs files (like
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/7/368).  We rely on that the leaked
information like the scheduling counters of setuid apps doesn't threaten
anybody's privacy - only the user started the setuid program may read the
counters.

Pavel Emelyanov 640708a2cf procfs: introduce the /proc/<pid>/map_files/ directory
This one behaves similarly to the /proc/<pid>/fd/ one - it contains
symlinks one for each mapping with file, the name of a symlink is
"vma->vm_start-vma->vm_end", the target is the file.  Opening a symlink
results in a file that point exactly to the same inode as them vma's one.

For example the ls -l of some arbitrary /proc/<pid>/map_files/

 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80403000-7f8f80404000 -> /lib64/libc-2.5.so
 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f8061e000-7f8f80620000 -> /lib64/libselinux.so.1
 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80826000-7f8f80827000 -> /lib64/libacl.so.1.1.0
 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80a2f000-7f8f80a30000 -> /lib64/librt-2.5.so
 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80a30000-7f8f80a4c000 -> /lib64/ld-2.5.so

This *helps* checkpointing process in three ways:

1. When dumping a task mappings we do know exact file that is mapped
   by particular region.  We do this by opening
   /proc/$pid/map_files/$address symlink the way we do with file
   descriptors.

2. This also helps in determining which anonymous shared mappings are
   shared with each other by comparing the inodes of them.

3. When restoring a set of processes in case two of them has a mapping
   shared, we map the memory by the 1st one and then open its
   /proc/$pid/map_files/$address file and map it by the 2nd task.

Using /proc/$pid/maps for this is quite inconvenient since it brings
repeatable re-reading and reparsing for this text file which slows down
restore procedure significantly.  Also as being pointed in (3) it is a way
easier to use top level shared mapping in children as
/proc/$pid/map_files/$address when needed.
