Linus Torvalds a867d7349e Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull userns vfs updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This tree contains some very long awaited work on generalizing the
  user namespace support for mounting filesystems to include filesystems
  with a backing store.  The real world target is fuse but the goal is
  to update the vfs to allow any filesystem to be supported.  This
  patchset is based on a lot of code review and testing to approach that
  goal.

  While looking at what is needed to support the fuse filesystem it
  became clear that there were things like xattrs for security modules
  that needed special treatment.  That the resolution of those concerns
  would not be fuse specific.  That sorting out these general issues
  made most sense at the generic level, where the right people could be
  drawn into the conversation, and the issues could be solved for
  everyone.

  At a high level what this patchset does a couple of simple things:

   - Add a user namespace owner (s_user_ns) to struct super_block.

   - Teach the vfs to handle filesystem uids and gids not mapping into
     to kuids and kgids and being reported as INVALID_UID and
     INVALID_GID in vfs data structures.

  By assigning a user namespace owner filesystems that are mounted with
  only user namespace privilege can be detected.  This allows security
  modules and the like to know which mounts may not be trusted.  This
  also allows the set of uids and gids that are communicated to the
  filesystem to be capped at the set of kuids and kgids that are in the
  owning user namespace of the filesystem.

  One of the crazier corner casees this handles is the case of inodes
  whose i_uid or i_gid are not mapped into the vfs.  Most of the code
  simply doesn't care but it is easy to confuse the inode writeback path
  so no operation that could cause an inode write-back is permitted for
  such inodes (aka only reads are allowed).

  This set of changes starts out by cleaning up the code paths involved
  in user namespace permirted mounts.  Then when things are clean enough
  adds code that cleanly sets s_user_ns.  Then additional restrictions
  are added that are possible now that the filesystem superblock
  contains owner information.

  These changes should not affect anyone in practice, but there are some
  parts of these restrictions that are changes in behavior.

   - Andy's restriction on suid executables that does not honor the
     suid bit when the path is from another mount namespace (think
     /proc/[pid]/fd/) or when the filesystem was mounted by a less
     privileged user.

   - The replacement of the user namespace implicit setting of MNT_NODEV
     with implicitly setting SB_I_NODEV on the filesystem superblock
     instead.

     Using SB_I_NODEV is a stronger form that happens to make this state
     user invisible.  The user visibility can be managed but it caused
     problems when it was introduced from applications reasonably
     expecting mount flags to be what they were set to.

  There is a little bit of work remaining before it is safe to support
  mounting filesystems with backing store in user namespaces, beyond
  what is in this set of changes.

   - Verifying the mounter has permission to read/write the block device
     during mount.

   - Teaching the integrity modules IMA and EVM to handle filesystems
     mounted with only user namespace root and to reduce trust in their
     security xattrs accordingly.

   - Capturing the mounters credentials and using that for permission
     checks in d_automount and the like.  (Given that overlayfs already
     does this, and we need the work in d_automount it make sense to
     generalize this case).

  Furthermore there are a few changes that are on the wishlist:

   - Get all filesystems supporting posix acls using the generic posix
     acls so that posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user and
     posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user may be removed.  [Maintainability]

   - Reducing the permission checks in places such as remount to allow
     the superblock owner to perform them.

   - Allowing the superblock owner to chown files with unmapped uids and
     gids to something that is mapped so the files may be treated
     normally.

  I am not considering even obvious relaxations of permission checks
  until it is clear there are no more corner cases that need to be
  locked down and handled generically.

  Many thanks to Seth Forshee who kept this code alive, and putting up
  with me rewriting substantial portions of what he did to handle more
  corner cases, and for his diligent testing and reviewing of my
  changes"

Dave Chinner 6c60d2b574 fs/fs-writeback.c: add a new writeback list for sync
wait_sb_inodes() currently does a walk of all inodes in the filesystem
to find dirty one to wait on during sync.  This is highly inefficient
and wastes a lot of CPU when there are lots of clean cached inodes that
we don't need to wait on.

To avoid this "all inode" walk, we need to track inodes that are
currently under writeback that we need to wait for.  We do this by
adding inodes to a writeback list on the sb when the mapping is first
tagged as having pages under writeback.  wait_sb_inodes() can then walk
this list of "inodes under IO" and wait specifically just for the inodes
that the current sync(2) needs to wait for.

Define a couple helpers to add/remove an inode from the writeback list
and call them when the overall mapping is tagged for or cleared from
writeback.  Update wait_sb_inodes() to walk only the inodes under
writeback due to the sync.

With this change, filesystem sync times are significantly reduced for
fs' with largely populated inode caches and otherwise no other work to
do.  For example, on a 16xcpu 2GHz x86-64 server, 10TB XFS filesystem
with a ~10m entry inode cache, sync times are reduced from ~7.3s to less
than 0.1s when the filesystem is fully clean.

Eric W. Biederman 67690f937c userns: Remove implicit MNT_NODEV fragility.
Replace the implict setting of MNT_NODEV on mounts that happen with
just user namespace permissions with an implicit setting of SB_I_NODEV
in s_iflags.  The visibility of the implicit MNT_NODEV has caused
problems in the past.

With this change the fragile case where an implicit MNT_NODEV needs to
be preserved in do_remount is removed.  Using SB_I_NODEV is much less
fragile as s_iflags are set during the original mount and never
changed.

In do_new_mount with the implicit setting of MNT_NODEV gone, the only
code that can affect mnt_flags is fs_fully_visible so simplify the if
statement and reduce the indentation of the code to make that clear.

Eric W. Biederman 6e4eab577a fs: Add user namespace member to struct super_block
Start marking filesystems with a user namespace owner, s_user_ns.  In
this change this is only used for permission checks of who may mount a
filesystem.  Ultimately s_user_ns will be used for translating ids and
checking capabilities for filesystems mounted from user namespaces.

The default policy for setting s_user_ns is implemented in sget(),
which arranges for s_user_ns to be set to current_user_ns() and to
ensure that the mounter of the filesystem has CAP_SYS_ADMIN in that
user_ns.

The guts of sget are split out into another function sget_userns().
The function sget_userns calls alloc_super with the specified user
namespace or it verifies the existing superblock that was found
has the expected user namespace, and fails with EBUSY when it is not.
This failing prevents users with the wrong privileges mounting a
filesystem.

The reason for the split of sget_userns from sget is that in some
cases such as mount_ns and kernfs_mount_ns a different policy for
permission checking of mounts and setting s_user_ns is necessary, and
the existence of sget_userns() allows those policies to be
implemented.

The helper mount_ns is expected to be used for filesystems such as
proc and mqueuefs which present per namespace information.  The
function mount_ns is modified to call sget_userns instead of sget to
ensure the user namespace owner of the namespace whose information is
presented by the filesystem is used on the superblock.

For sysfs and cgroup the appropriate permission checks are already in
place, and kernfs_mount_ns is modified to call sget_userns so that
the init_user_ns is the only user namespace used.

For the cgroup filesystem cgroup namespace mounts are bind mounts of a
subset of the full cgroup filesystem and as such s_user_ns must be the
same for all of them as there is only a single superblock.

Mounts of sysfs that vary based on the network namespace could in principle
change s_user_ns but it keeps the analysis and implementation of kernfs
simpler if that is not supported, and at present there appear to be no
benefits from supporting a different s_user_ns on any sysfs mount.

Getting the details of setting s_user_ns correct has been
a long process.  Thanks to Pavel Tikhorirorv who spotted a leak
in sget_userns.  Thanks to Seth Forshee who has kept the work alive.

Eric W. Biederman d91ee87d8d vfs: Pass data, ns, and ns->userns to mount_ns
Today what is normally called data (the mount options) is not passed
to fill_super through mount_ns.

Pass the mount options and the namespace separately to mount_ns so
that filesystems such as proc that have mount options, can use
mount_ns.

Pass the user namespace to mount_ns so that the standard permission
check that verifies the mounter has permissions over the namespace can
be performed in mount_ns instead of in each filesystems .mount method.
Thus removing the duplication between mqueuefs and proc in terms of
permission checks.  The extra permission check does not currently
affect the rpc_pipefs filesystem and the nfsd filesystem as those
filesystems do not currently allow unprivileged mounts.  Without
unpvileged mounts it is guaranteed that the caller has already passed
capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) which guarantees extra permission check will
pass.

Update rpc_pipefs and the nfsd filesystem to ensure that the network
namespace reference is always taken in fill_super and always put in kill_sb
so that the logic is simpler and so that errors originating inside of
fill_super do not cause a network namespace leak.

Tejun Heo a1a0e23e49 writeback: flush inode cgroup wb switches instead of pinning super_block
If cgroup writeback is in use, inodes can be scheduled for
asynchronous wb switching.  Before 5ff8eaac16 ("writeback: keep
superblock pinned during cgroup writeback association switches"), this
could race with umount leading to super_block being destroyed while
inodes are pinned for wb switching.  5ff8eaac16 fixed it by bumping
s_active while wb switches are in flight; however, this allowed
in-flight wb switches to make umounts asynchronous when the userland
expected synchronosity - e.g. fsck immediately following umount may
fail because the device is still busy.

This patch removes the problematic super_block pinning and instead
makes generic_shutdown_super() flush in-flight wb switches.  wb
switches are now executed on a dedicated isw_wq so that they can be
flushed and isw_nr_in_flight keeps track of the number of in-flight wb
switches so that flushing can be avoided in most cases.

v2: Move cgroup_writeback_umount() further below and add MS_ACTIVE
    check in inode_switch_wbs() as Jan an Al suggested.

Dave Chinner e97fedb9ef sync: serialise per-superblock sync operations
When competing sync(2) calls walk the same filesystem, they need to
walk the list of inodes on the superblock to find all the inodes
that we need to wait for IO completion on. However, when multiple
wait_sb_inodes() calls do this at the same time, they contend on the
the inode_sb_list_lock and the contention causes system wide
slowdowns. In effect, concurrent sync(2) calls can take longer and
burn more CPU than if they were serialised.

Stop the worst of the contention by adding a per-sb mutex to wrap
around wait_sb_inodes() so that we only execute one sync(2) IO
completion walk per superblock superblock at a time and hence avoid
contention being triggered by concurrent sync(2) calls.

Dave Chinner 74278da9f7 inode: convert inode_sb_list_lock to per-sb
The process of reducing contention on per-superblock inode lists
starts with moving the locking to match the per-superblock inode
list. This takes the global lock out of the picture and reduces the
contention problems to within a single filesystem. This doesn't get
rid of contention as the locks still have global CPU scope, but it
does isolate operations on different superblocks form each other.

Oleg Nesterov 8129ed2964 change sb_writers to use percpu_rw_semaphore
We can remove everything from struct sb_writers except frozen
and add the array of percpu_rw_semaphore's instead.

This patch doesn't remove sb_writers->wait_unfrozen yet, we keep
it for get_super_thawed(). We will probably remove it later.

This change tries to address the following problems:

	- Firstly, __sb_start_write() looks simply buggy. It does
	  __sb_end_write() if it sees ->frozen, but if it migrates
	  to another CPU before percpu_counter_dec(), sb_wait_write()
	  can wrongly succeed if there is another task which holds
	  the same "semaphore": sb_wait_write() can miss the result
	  of the previous percpu_counter_inc() but see the result
	  of this percpu_counter_dec().

	- As Dave Hansen reports, it is suboptimal. The trivial
	  microbenchmark that writes to a tmpfs file in a loop runs
	  12% faster if we change this code to rely on RCU and kill
	  the memory barriers.

	- This code doesn't look simple. It would be better to rely
	  on the generic locking code.

	  According to Dave, this change adds the same performance
	  improvement.

Note: with this change both freeze_super() and thaw_super() will do
synchronize_sched_expedited() 3 times. This is just ugly. But:

	- This will be "fixed" by the rcu_sync changes we are going
	  to merge. After that freeze_super()->percpu_down_write()
	  will use synchronize_sched(), and thaw_super() won't use
	  synchronize() at all.

	  This doesn't need any changes in fs/super.c.

	- Once we merge rcu_sync changes, we can also change super.c
	  so that all wb_write->rw_sem's will share the single ->rss
	  in struct sb_writes, then freeze_super() will need only one
	  synchronize_sched().

Oleg Nesterov 853b39a7c8 shift percpu_counter_destroy() into destroy_super_work()
Of course, this patch is ugly as hell. It will be (partially)
reverted later. We add it to ensure that other WIP changes in
percpu_rw_semaphore won't break fs/super.c.

We do not even need this change right now, percpu_free_rwsem()
is fine in atomic context. But we are going to change this, it
will be might_sleep() after we merge the rcu_sync() patches.

And even after that we do not really need destroy_super_work(),
we will kill it in any case. Instead, destroy_super_rcu() should
just check that rss->cb_state == CB_IDLE and do call_rcu() again
in the (very unlikely) case this is not true.

So this is just the temporary kludge which helps us to avoid the
conflicts with the changes which will be (hopefully) routed via
rcu tree.

Oleg Nesterov f4b554af99 fix the broken lockdep logic in __sb_start_write()
1. wait_event(frozen < level) without rwsem_acquire_read() is just
   wrong from lockdep perspective. If we are going to deadlock
   because the caller is buggy, lockdep can't detect this problem.

2. __sb_start_write() can race with thaw_super() + freeze_super(),
   and after "goto retry" the 2nd  acquire_freeze_lock() is wrong.

3. The "tell lockdep we are doing trylock" hack doesn't look nice.

   I think this is correct, but this logic should be more explicit.
   Yes, the recursive read_lock() is fine if we hold the lock on a
   higher level. But we do not need to fool lockdep. If we can not
   deadlock in this case then try-lock must not fail and we can use
   use wait == F throughout this code.

Note: as Dave Chinner explains, the "trylock" hack and the fat comment
can be probably removed. But this needs a separate change and it will
be trivial: just kill __sb_start_write() and rename do_sb_start_write()
back to __sb_start_write().

Vladimir Davydov 3cb29d1117 cleancache: remove limit on the number of cleancache enabled filesystems
The limit equals 32 and is imposed by the number of entries in the
fs_poolid_map and shared_fs_poolid_map.  Nowadays it is insufficient,
because with containers on board a Linux host can have hundreds of
active fs mounts.

These maps were introduced by commit 49a9ab815a ("mm: cleancache:
lazy initialization to allow tmem backends to build/run as modules") in
order to allow compiling cleancache drivers as modules.  Real pool ids
are stored in these maps while super_block->cleancache_poolid points to
an entry in the map, so that on cleancache registration we can walk over
all (if there are <= 32 of them, of course) cleancache-enabled super
blocks and assign real pool ids.

Actually, there is absolutely no need in these maps, because we can
iterate over all super blocks immediately using iterate_supers.  This is
not racy, because cleancache_init_ops is called from mount_fs with
super_block->s_umount held for writing, while iterate_supers takes this
semaphore for reading, so if we call iterate_supers after setting
cleancache_ops, all super blocks that had been created before
cleancache_register_ops was called will be assigned pool ids by the
action function of iterate_supers while all newer super blocks will
receive it in cleancache_init_fs.

This patch therefore removes the maps and hence the artificial limit on
the number of cleancache enabled filesystems.

Konstantin Khlebnikov eb6ef3df4f trylock_super(): replacement for grab_super_passive()
I've noticed significant locking contention in memory reclaimer around
sb_lock inside grab_super_passive(). Grab_super_passive() is called from
two places: in icache/dcache shrinkers (function super_cache_scan) and
from writeback (function __writeback_inodes_wb). Both are required for
progress in memory allocator.

Grab_super_passive() acquires sb_lock to increment sb->s_count and check
sb->s_instances. It seems sb->s_umount locked for read is enough here:
super-block deactivation always runs under sb->s_umount locked for write.
Protecting super-block itself isn't a problem: in super_cache_scan() sb
is protected by shrinker_rwsem: it cannot be freed if its slab shrinkers
are still active. Inside writeback super-block comes from inode from bdi
writeback list under wb->list_lock.

This patch removes locking sb_lock and checks s_instances under s_umount:
generic_shutdown_super() unlinks it under sb->s_umount locked for write.
New variant is called trylock_super() and since it only locks semaphore,
callers must call up_read(&sb->s_umount) instead of drop_super(sb) when
they're done.

Vladimir Davydov 49e7e7ff8d fs: shrinker: always scan at least one object of each type
In super_cache_scan() we divide the number of objects of particular type
by the total number of objects in order to distribute pressure among As a
result, in some corner cases we can get nr_to_scan=0 even if there are
some objects to reclaim, e.g.  dentries=1, inodes=1, fs_objects=1,
nr_to_scan=1/3=0.

This is unacceptable for per memcg kmem accounting, because this means
that some objects may never get reclaimed after memcg death, preventing it
from being freed.

This patch therefore assures that super_cache_scan() will scan at least
one object of each type if any.

Vladimir Davydov 2acb60a046 fs: make shrinker memcg aware
Now, to make any list_lru-based shrinker memcg aware we should only
initialize its list_lru as memcg aware.  Let's do it for the general FS
shrinker (super_block::s_shrink).

There are other FS-specific shrinkers that use list_lru for storing
objects, such as XFS and GFS2 dquot cache shrinkers, but since they
reclaim objects that are shared among different cgroups, there is no point
making them memcg aware.  It's a big question whether we should account
them to memcg at all.

Vladimir Davydov c0a5b56093 list_lru: organize all list_lrus to list
To make list_lru memcg aware, we need all list_lrus to be kept on a list
protected by a mutex, so that we could sleep while walking over the
list.

Therefore after this change list_lru_destroy may sleep.  Fortunately,
there is only one user that calls it from an atomic context - it's
put_super - and we can easily fix it by calling list_lru_destroy before
put_super in destroy_locked_super - anyway we don't longer need lrus by
that time.

Another point that should be noted is that list_lru_destroy is allowed
to be called on an uninitialized zeroed-out object, in which case it is
a no-op.  Before this patch this was guaranteed by kfree, but now we
need an explicit check there.

Vladimir Davydov 4101b62435 fs: consolidate {nr,free}_cached_objects args in shrink_control
We are going to make FS shrinkers memcg-aware.  To achieve that, we will
have to pass the memcg to scan to the nr_cached_objects and
free_cached_objects VFS methods, which currently take only the NUMA node
to scan.  Since the shrink_control structure already holds the node, and
the memcg to scan will be added to it when we introduce memcg-aware
vmscan, let us consolidate the methods' arguments in this structure to
keep things clean.

Vladimir Davydov 503c358cf1 list_lru: introduce list_lru_shrink_{count,walk}
Kmem accounting of memcg is unusable now, because it lacks slab shrinker
support.  That means when we hit the limit we will get ENOMEM w/o any
chance to recover.  What we should do then is to call shrink_slab, which
would reclaim old inode/dentry caches from this cgroup.  This is what
this patch set is intended to do.

Basically, it does two things.  First, it introduces the notion of
per-memcg slab shrinker.  A shrinker that wants to reclaim objects per
cgroup should mark itself as SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE.  Then it will be
passed the memory cgroup to scan from in shrink_control->memcg.  For
such shrinkers shrink_slab iterates over the whole cgroup subtree under
the target cgroup and calls the shrinker for each kmem-active memory
cgroup.

Secondly, this patch set makes the list_lru structure per-memcg.  It's
done transparently to list_lru users - everything they have to do is to
tell list_lru_init that they want memcg-aware list_lru.  Then the
list_lru will automatically distribute objects among per-memcg lists
basing on which cgroup the object is accounted to.  This way to make FS
shrinkers (icache, dcache) memcg-aware we only need to make them use
memcg-aware list_lru, and this is what this patch set does.

As before, this patch set only enables per-memcg kmem reclaim when the
pressure goes from memory.limit, not from memory.kmem.limit.  Handling
memory.kmem.limit is going to be tricky due to GFP_NOFS allocations, and
it is still unclear whether we will have this knob in the unified
hierarchy.

This patch (of 9):

NUMA aware slab shrinkers use the list_lru structure to distribute
objects coming from different NUMA nodes to different lists.  Whenever
such a shrinker needs to count or scan objects from a particular node,
it issues commands like this:

        count = list_lru_count_node(lru, sc->nid);
        freed = list_lru_walk_node(lru, sc->nid, isolate_func,
                                   isolate_arg, &sc->nr_to_scan);

where sc is an instance of the shrink_control structure passed to it
from vmscan.

To simplify this, let's add special list_lru functions to be used by
shrinkers, list_lru_shrink_count() and list_lru_shrink_walk(), which
consolidate the nid and nr_to_scan arguments in the shrink_control
structure.

This will also allow us to avoid patching shrinkers that use list_lru
when we make shrink_slab() per-memcg - all we will have to do is extend
the shrink_control structure to include the target memcg and make
list_lru_shrink_{count,walk} handle this appropriately.

Tim Chen d23da150a3 fs/superblock: avoid locking counting inodes and dentries before reclaiming them
We remove the call to grab_super_passive in call to super_cache_count.
This becomes a scalability bottleneck as multiple threads are trying to do
memory reclamation, e.g.  when we are doing large amount of file read and
page cache is under pressure.  The cached objects quickly got reclaimed
down to 0 and we are aborting the cache_scan() reclaim.  But counting
creates a log jam acquiring the sb_lock.

We are holding the shrinker_rwsem which ensures the safety of call to
list_lru_count_node() and s_op->nr_cached_objects.  The shrinker is
unregistered now before ->kill_sb() so the operation is safe when we are
doing unmount.

The impact will depend heavily on the machine and the workload but for a
small machine using postmark tuned to use 4xRAM size the results were

Dave Chinner 28f2cd4f6d fs/superblock: unregister sb shrinker before ->kill_sb()
This series is aimed at regressions noticed during reclaim activity.  The
first two patches are shrinker patches that were posted ages ago but never
merged for reasons that are unclear to me.  I'm posting them again to see
if there was a reason they were dropped or if they just got lost.  Dave?
Time?  The last patch adjusts proportional reclaim.  Yuanhan Liu, can you
retest the vm scalability test cases on a larger machine?  Hugh, does this
work for you on the memcg test cases?

Based on ext4, I get the following results but unfortunately my larger
test machines are all unavailable so this is based on a relatively small
machine.

This patch (of 3):

We will like to unregister the sb shrinker before ->kill_sb().  This will
allow cached objects to be counted without call to grab_super_passive() to
update ref count on sb.  We want to avoid locking during memory
reclamation especially when we are skipping the memory reclaim when we are
out of cached objects.

This is safe because grab_super_passive does a try-lock on the
sb->s_umount now, and so if we are in the unmount process, it won't ever
block.  That means what used to be a deadlock and races we were avoiding
by using grab_super_passive() is now:

        shrinker                        umount

        down_read(shrinker_rwsem)
                                        down_write(sb->s_umount)
                                        shrinker_unregister
                                          down_write(shrinker_rwsem)
                                            <blocks>
        grab_super_passive(sb)
          down_read_trylock(sb->s_umount)
            <fails>
        <shrinker aborts>
        ....
        <shrinkers finish running>
        up_read(shrinker_rwsem)
                                          <unblocks>
                                          <removes shrinker>
                                          up_write(shrinker_rwsem)
                                        ->kill_sb()
                                        ....

So it is safe to deregister the shrinker before ->kill_sb().

Thomas Bächler a2a4dc494a fs: Don't return 0 from get_anon_bdev
Commit 9e30cc9595 removed an internal mount. This
has the side-effect that rootfs now has FSID 0. Many
userspace utilities assume that st_dev in struct stat
is never 0, so this change breaks a number of tools in
early userspace.

Since we don't know how many userspace programs are affected,
make sure that FSID is at least 1.

Theodore Ts'o 02b9984d64 fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()
Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the
file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied,
unconditional syncfs().  This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly
documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful,
except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting
remounted read-only.

However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are
actually depending on this behavior.  In most file systems, it's
probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from
read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is
not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something
like romfs).

Andrew Ruder 807612db2f fs/super.c: sync ro remount after blocking writers
Move sync_filesystem() after sb_prepare_remount_readonly().  If writers
sneak in anywhere from sync_filesystem() to sb_prepare_remount_readonly()
it can cause inodes to be dirtied and writeback to occur well after
sys_mount() has completely successfully.

This was spotted by corrupted ubifs filesystems on reboot, but appears
that it can cause issues with any filesystem using writeback.

Vladimir Davydov b5bd856a0c fs/super.c: fix WARN on alloc_super() fail path
On fail path alloc_super() calls destroy_super(), which issues a warning
if the sb's s_mounts list is not empty, in particular if it has not been
initialized.  That said s_mounts must be initialized in alloc_super()
before any possible failure, but currently it is initialized close to
the end of the function leading to a useless warning dumped to log if
either percpu_counter_init() or list_lru_init() fails.  Let's fix this.
