d9a82a0403 xattr handlers: Pass handler to operations instead of flags
The xattr_handler operations are currently all passed a file system
specific flags value which the operations can use to disambiguate between
different handlers; some file systems use that to distinguish the xattr
namespace, for example.  In some oprations, it would be useful to also have
access to the handler prefix.  To allow that, pass a pointer to the handler
to operations instead of the flags value alone.

dae5f57a72 vfs: Fix the posix_acl_xattr_list return value
When a filesystem that contains POSIX ACLs is mounted without ACL support
(-o noacl), the appropriate behavior is not to list any existing POSIX ACL
xattrs.  The return value for list xattr handlers in this case is 0, not an
error code: several filesystems that use the POSIX ACL xattr handlers do
not expect the list operation to fail.

Symlinks cannot have ACLs, so posix_acl_xattr_list will never be called for
symlinks in the first place.

c361016ade vfs: Check attribute names in posix acl xattr handers
The get and set operations of the POSIX ACL xattr handlers failed to check
the attribute names, so all names with "system.posix_acl_access" or
"system.posix_acl_default" as a prefix were accepted.  Reject invalid names
from now on.

c0c3a718e3 fs/posix_acl.c: make posix_acl_create() safer and cleaner
If posix_acl_create() returns an error code then "*acl" and "*default_acl"
can be uninitialized or point to freed memory.  This is a dangerous thing
to do.  For example, it causes a problem in ocfs2_reflink():

	fs/ocfs2/refcounttree.c:4327 ocfs2_reflink()
	error: potentially using uninitialized 'default_acl'.

I've re-written this so we set the pointers to NULL at the start.  I've
added a temporary "clone" variable to hold the value of "*acl" until end.
Setting them to NULL means means we don't need the "no_acl" label.  We may
as well remove the "apply_umask" stuff forward and remove that label as
well.

e36cb0b89c VFS: (Scripted) Convert S_ISLNK/DIR/REG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_*(dentry)
Convert the following where appropriate:

 (1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry).

 (2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry).

 (3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry).  This is actually more
     complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to
     d_can_lookup() instead.  The difference is whether the directory in
     question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with
     a ->d_automount op.

In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being
NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects
d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to
use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer).

Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than
DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS
manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer.  In such a
case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the
type of the lower dentry.

However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use
the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem.

There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled
DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE.  Strictly, this was
intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes.

The following perl+coccinelle script was used:

use strict;

my @callers;
open($fd, 'git grep -l \'S_IS[A-Z].*->d_inode\' |') ||
    die "Can't grep for S_ISDIR and co. callers";
@callers = <$fd>;
close($fd);
unless (@callers) {
    print "No matches\n";
    exit(0);
}

my @cocci = (
    '@@',
    'expression E;',
    '@@',
    '',
    '- S_ISLNK(E->d_inode->i_mode)',
    '+ d_is_symlink(E)',
    '',
    '@@',
    'expression E;',
    '@@',

    'expression E;',
    '@@',
    '',
    '- S_ISREG(E->d_inode->i_mode)',
    '+ d_is_reg(E)' );

my $coccifile = "tmp.sp.cocci";
open($fd, ">$coccifile") || die $coccifile;
print($fd "$_\n") || die $coccifile foreach (@cocci);
close($fd);

foreach my $file (@callers) {
    chomp $file;
    print "Processing ", $file, "\n";
    system("spatch", "--sp-file", $coccifile, $file, "--in-place", "--no-show-diff") == 0 ||
	die "spatch failed";

50c6e282bd posix_acl: handle NULL ACL in posix_acl_equiv_mode
Various filesystems don't bother checking for a NULL ACL in
posix_acl_equiv_mode, and thus can dereference a NULL pointer when it
gets passed one. This usually happens from the NFS server, as the ACL tools
never pass a NULL ACL, but instead of one representing the mode bits.

Instead of adding boilerplat to all filesystems put this check into one place,
which will allow us to remove the check from other filesystems as well later
on.

but instead the widening contributor base. It is good to see that
 interest is increasing in GFS2, and I'd like to thank all the
 contributors to this patch set.
 
 In addition to the usual set of bug fixes and clean ups, there are
 patches to improve inode creation performance when xattrs are
 required and some improvements to the transaction code which is
 intended to help improve scalability after further changes in due
 course.
 
 Journal extent mapping is also updated to make it more efficient
 and again, this is a foundation for future work in this area.
 
 The maximum number of ACLs has been increased to 300 (for a 4k
 block size) which means that even with a few additional xattrs
 from selinux, everything should fit within a single fs block.
 
 There is also a patch to bring GFS2's own copy of the writepages
 code up to the same level as the core VFS. Eventually we may be
 able to merge some of this code, since it is fairly similar.
 
 The other major change this time, is bringing consistency to
 the printing of messages via fs_<level>, pr_<level> macros.

949b9c3d42 userns: relax the posix_acl_valid() checks
So far, POSIX ACLs are using a canonical representation that keeps all ACL
entries in a strict order; the ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP entries for specific
users and groups are ordered by user and group identifier, respectively.
The user-space code provides ACL entries in this order; the kernel
verifies that the ACL entry order is correct in posix_acl_valid().

User namespaces allow to arbitrary map user and group identifiers which
can cause the ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP entry order to differ between user
space and the kernel; posix_acl_valid() would then fail.

Work around this by allowing ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP entries to be in any
order in the kernel.  The effect is only minor: file permission checks
will pick the first matching ACL_USER entry, and check all matching
ACL_GROUP entries.

(The libacl user-space library and getfacl / setfacl tools will not create
ACLs with duplicate user or group idenfifiers; they will handle ACLs with
entries in an arbitrary order correctly.)

2f6f0654ab userns: Convert vfs posix_acl support to use kuids and kgids
- In setxattr if we are setting a posix acl convert uids and gids from
  the current user namespace into the initial user namespace, before
  the xattrs are passed to the underlying filesystem.

  Untranslatable uids and gids are represented as -1 which
  posix_acl_from_xattr will represent as INVALID_UID or INVALID_GID.
  posix_acl_valid will fail if an acl from userspace has any
  INVALID_UID or INVALID_GID values.  In net this guarantees that
  untranslatable posix acls will not be stored by filesystems.

- In getxattr if we are reading a posix acl convert uids and gids from
  the initial user namespace into the current user namespace.

  Uids and gids that can not be tranlsated into the current user namespace
  will be represented as -1.

- Replace e_id in struct posix_acl_entry with an anymouns union of
  e_uid and e_gid.  For the short term retain the e_id field
  until all of the users are converted.

- Don't set struct posix_acl.e_id in the cases where the acl type
  does not use e_id.  Greatly reducing the use of ACL_UNDEFINED_ID.

- Rework the ordering checks in posix_acl_valid so that I use kuid_t
  and kgid_t types throughout the code, and so that I don't need
  arithmetic on uid and gid types.

Replace the ->check_acl method with a ->get_acl method that simply reads an
ACL from disk after having a cache miss.  This means we can replace the ACL
checking boilerplate code with a single implementation in namei.c.

edde854e8b bury posix_acl_..._masq() variants
made static; no callers left outside of posix_acl.c.  posix_acl_clone() also
has lost all external callers and became static...

826cae2f2b kill boilerplates around posix_acl_create_masq()
new helper: posix_acl_create(&acl, gfp, mode_p).  Replaces acl with
modified clone, on failure releases acl and replaces with NULL.
Returns 0 or -ve on error.  All callers of posix_acl_create_masq()
switched.

bc26ab5f65 kill boilerplate around posix_acl_chmod_masq()
new helper: posix_acl_chmod(&acl, gfp, mode).  Replaces acl with modified
clone or with NULL if that has failed; returns 0 or -ve on error.  All
callers of posix_acl_chmod_masq() switched to that - they'd been doing
exactly the same thing.

f61f6da0d5 NFS: Prevent memory allocation failure in nfsacl_encode()
nfsacl_encode() allocates memory in certain cases.  This of course
is not guaranteed to work.

Since commit 9f06c719 "SUNRPC: New xdr_streams XDR encoder API", the
kernel's XDR encoders can't return a result indicating possibly a
failure, so a memory allocation failure in nfsacl_encode() has become
fatal (ie, the XDR code Oopses) in some cases.

However, the allocated memory is a tiny fixed amount, on the order
of 40-50 bytes.  We can easily use a stack-allocated buffer for
this, with only a wee bit of nose-holding.

da9592edeb CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the filesystem subsystem
Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.

Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().

Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id().  In some places it makes more
sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
addressed by later patches.

dd0fc66fb3 [PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1
- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
