9582d41135 GFS2: Remove a couple of unused sysfs entries
These two tunables are pointless and would never need to be
changed anyway. There is also a race between them and umount
as the deamons which they refer to might have gone away. The
easiest way to fix the race is to remove the interface.

48c2b61361 GFS2: Add commit= mount option
It has always been possible to adjust the gfs2 log commit
interval, but only from the sysfs interface. This adds a
mount option, commit=<nn>, which will be familar to ext3
users.

The sysfs interface continues to be available as well, although
this might be removed in the future.

Also this patch cleans up some duplicated structures in the GFS2
sysfs code.

a1c0643ff9 GFS2: Move journal live test at transaction start
There seems little point grabbing the transaction glock
only to have to release it again if the journal isn't
live. This moves the test earlier to avoid grabbing the lock
when we don't need it in the first place.

48bf2b1711 GFS2: Something nonlinear this way comes!
For some reason GFS2 has been missing support for non-linear
mappings. This patch fixes that, and also avoids taking any
locks for mmap in the O_NOATIME case. In fact we don't actually need
to take the lock here at all - just doing file_accessed() would be
enough, but we have to take the lock eventually and this helps
it hit disk (and thus be seen by other nodes) faster.

4a0f9a321a GFS2: Optimise writepage for metadata
This adds a GFS2 specific writepage for metadata, rather than
continuing to use the VFS function. As a result we now tag all
our metadata I/O with the correct flag so that blktraces will
now be less confusing.

Also, the generic function was checking for a number of corner
cases which cannot happen on the metadata address spaces so that
this should be faster too.

c969f58ca4 GFS2: Update the rw flags
After Jens recent updates:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=a1f242524c3c1f5d40f1c9c343427e34d1aadd6e
et al. this is a patch to bring gfs2 uptodate with the core
code. Also I've managed to squash another call to ll_rw_block()
along the way.

There is still one part of the GFS2 I/O paths which are not correctly
annotated and that is due to the sharing of the writeback code between
the data and metadata address spaces. I would like to change that too,
but this patch is still worth doing on its own, I think.

74dbbdd7fd New helper: deactivate_locked_super()
Does equivalent of up_write(&s->s_umount); deactivate_super(s);
However, it does not does not unlock it until it's all over.
As the result, it's safe to use to dispose of new superblock on ->get_sb()
failure exits - nobody will see the sucker until it's all over.
Equivalent using up_write/deactivate_super is safe for that purpose
if superblock is either	safe to use or has NULL ->s_root when we unlock.
Normally filesystems take the required precautions, but
	a) we do have bugs in that area in some of them.
	b) up_write/deactivate_super sequence is extremely common,
so the helper makes sense anyway.

ab17c4f021 reiserfs: fixup xattr_root caching
The xattr_root caching was broken from my previous patch set. It wouldn't
 cause corruption, but could cause decreased performance due to allocating
 a larger chunk of the journal (~ 27 blocks) than it would actually use.

 This patch loads the xattr root dentry at xattr initialization and creates
 it on-demand. Since we're using the cached dentry, there's no point
 in keeping lookup_or_create_dir around, so that's removed.

5a6059c358 reiserfs: Expand i_mutex to enclose lookup_one_len
2.6.30-rc3 introduced some sanity checks in the VFS code to avoid NFS
 bugs by ensuring that lookup_one_len is always called under i_mutex.

 This patch expands the i_mutex locking to enclose lookup_one_len. This was
 always required, but not not enforced in the reiserfs code since it
 does locking around the xattr interactions with the xattr_sem.

 This is obvious enough, and it survived an overnight 50 thread ACL test.

381a80e6df inotify: use GFP_NOFS in kernel_event() to work around a lockdep false-positive
There is what we believe to be a false positive reported by lockdep.

inotify_inode_queue_event() => take inotify_mutex => kernel_event() =>
kmalloc() => SLOB => alloc_pages_node() => page reclaim => slab reclaim =>
dcache reclaim => inotify_inode_is_dead => take inotify_mutex => deadlock

The plan is to fix this via lockdep annotation, but that is proving to be
quite involved.

The patch flips the allocation over to GFP_NFS to shut the warning up, for
the 2.6.30 release.

Hopefully we will fix this for real in 2.6.31.  I'll queue a patch in -mm
to switch it back to GFP_KERNEL so we don't forget.

f83ce3e6b0 proc: avoid information leaks to non-privileged processes
By using the same test as is used for /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps,
only allow processes that can ptrace() a given process to see information
that might be used to bypass address space layout randomization (ASLR).
These include eip, esp, wchan, and start_stack in /proc/pid/stat as well
as the non-symbolic output from /proc/pid/wchan.

ASLR can be bypassed by sampling eip as shown by the proof-of-concept
code at http://code.google.com/p/fuzzyaslr/ As part of a presentation
(http://www.cr0.org/paper/to-jt-linux-alsr-leak.pdf) esp and wchan were
also noted as possibly usable information leaks as well.  The
start_stack address also leaks potentially useful information.

0b3cc85800 [CIFS] NTLMSSP reenabled after move from connect.c to sess.c
The NTLMSSP code was removed from fs/cifs/connect.c and merged
(75% smaller, cleaner) into fs/cifs/sess.c

As with the old code it requires that cifs be built with
CONFIG_CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL, the /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental flag
must be set to 2, and mount must turn on extended security
(e.g. with sec=krb5).

Although NTLMSSP encapsulated in SPNEGO is not enabled yet,
"raw" ntlmssp is common and useful in some cases since it
offers more complete security negotiation, and is the
default way of negotiating security for many Windows systems.
SPNEGO encapsulated NTLMSSP will be able to reuse the same
code.

00a62ce91e mm: fix Committed_AS underflow on large NR_CPUS environment
The Committed_AS field can underflow in certain situations:

Because NR_CPUS can be greater than 1000 and meminfo_proc_show() does
not check for underflow.

But NR_CPUS proportional isn't good calculation.  In general,
possibility of lock contention is proportional to the number of online
cpus, not theorical maximum cpus (NR_CPUS).

The current kernel has generic percpu-counter stuff.  using it is right
way.  it makes code simplify and percpu_counter_read_positive() don't
make underflow issue.

74641f584d alpha: binfmt_aout fix
This fixes the problem introduced by commit 3bfacef412 (get rid of
special-casing the /sbin/loader on alpha): osf/1 ecoff binary segfaults
when binfmt_aout built as module.  That happens because aout binary
handler gets on the top of the binfmt list due to late registration, and
kernel attempts to execute the binary without preparatory work that must
be done by binfmt_loader.

Fixed by changing the registration order of the default binfmt handlers
using list_add_tail() and introducing insert_binfmt() function which
places new handler on the top of the binfmt list.  This might be generally
useful for installing arch-specific frontends for default handlers or just
for overriding them.

0816178638 pagemap: require aligned-length, non-null reads of /proc/pid/pagemap
The intention of commit aae8679b0e
("pagemap: fix bug in add_to_pagemap, require aligned-length reads of
/proc/pid/pagemap") was to force reads of /proc/pid/pagemap to be a
multiple of 8 bytes, but now it allows to read 0 bytes, which actually
puts some data to user's buffer.  According to POSIX, if count is zero,
read() should return zero and has no other results.

b827e496c8 mm: close page_mkwrite races
Change page_mkwrite to allow implementations to return with the page
locked, and also change it's callers (in page fault paths) to hold the
lock until the page is marked dirty.  This allows the filesystem to have
full control of page dirtying events coming from the VM.

Rather than simply hold the page locked over the page_mkwrite call, we
call page_mkwrite with the page unlocked and allow callers to return with
it locked, so filesystems can avoid LOR conditions with page lock.

The problem with the current scheme is this: a filesystem that wants to
associate some metadata with a page as long as the page is dirty, will
perform this manipulation in its ->page_mkwrite.  It currently then must
return with the page unlocked and may not hold any other locks (according
to existing page_mkwrite convention).

In this window, the VM could write out the page, clearing page-dirty.  The
filesystem has no good way to detect that a dirty pte is about to be
attached, so it will happily write out the page, at which point, the
filesystem may manipulate the metadata to reflect that the page is no
longer dirty.

It is not always possible to perform the required metadata manipulation in
->set_page_dirty, because that function cannot block or fail.  The
filesystem may need to allocate some data structure, for example.

And the VM cannot mark the pte dirty before page_mkwrite, because
page_mkwrite is allowed to fail, so we must not allow any window where the
page could be written to if page_mkwrite does fail.

This solution of holding the page locked over the 3 critical operations
(page_mkwrite, setting the pte dirty, and finally setting the page dirty)
closes out races nicely, preventing page cleaning for writeout being
initiated in that window.  This provides the filesystem with a strong
synchronisation against the VM here.

- Sage needs this race closed for ceph filesystem.
- Trond for NFS (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12913).
- I need it for fsblock.
- I suspect other filesystems may need it too (eg. btrfs).
- I have converted buffer.c to the new locking. Even simple block allocation
  under dirty pages might be susceptible to i_size changing under partial page
  at the end of file (we also have a buffer.c-side problem here, but it cannot
  be fixed properly without this patch).
- Other filesystems (eg. NFS, maybe btrfs) will need to change their
  page_mkwrite functions themselves.

[ This also moves page_mkwrite another step closer to fault, which should
  eventually allow page_mkwrite to be moved into ->fault, and thus avoiding a
  filesystem calldown and page lock/unlock cycle in __do_fault. ]
