552b372ba9 memsw: deprecate noswapaccount kernel parameter and schedule it for removal
noswapaccount couldn't be used to control memsw for both on/off cases so
we have added swapaccount[=0|1] parameter.  This way we can turn the
feature in two ways noswapaccount resp.  swapaccount=0.  We have kept the
original noswapaccount but I think we should remove it after some time as
it just makes more command line parameters without any advantages and also
the code to handle parameters is uglier if we want both parameters.

32 and 64 bit powerpc support has been merged for a while now, but
the booting-without-of.txt document still describes 32 bit as not
supporting multiplatform, which is no longer true.  This patch fixes

af5eb745ef NTFS: Fix invalid pointer dereference in ntfs_mft_record_alloc().
In ntfs_mft_record_alloc() when mapping the new extent mft record with
map_extent_mft_record() we overwrite @m with the return value and on
error, we then try to use the old @m but that is no longer there as @m
now contains an error code instead so we crash when dereferencing the
error code as if it were a pointer.

The simple fix is to use a temporary variable to store the return value
thus preserving the original @m for later use.  This is a backport from
the commercial Tuxera-NTFS driver and is well tested...

Thanks go to Julia Lawall for pointing this out (whilst I had fixed it
in the commercial driver I had failed to fix it in the Linux kernel).

3a5655a5b5 can: at91_can: make can_id of mailbox 0 configurable
Due to a chip bug (errata 50.2.6.3 & 50.3.5.3 in
"AT91SAM9263 Preliminary 6249H-ATARM-27-Jul-09") the contents of mailbox
0 may be send under certain conditions (even if disabled or in rx mode).

The workaround in the errata suggests not to use the mailbox and load it
with an unused identifier.

This patch implements the second part of the workaround. A sysfs entry
"mb0_id" is introduced. While the interface is down it can be used to
configure the can_id of mailbox 0. The default value id 0x7ff.

In order to use an extended can_id add the CAN_EFF_FLAG (0x80000000U)
to the can_id. Example:

- standard id 0x7ff:
echo 0x7ff      > /sys/class/net/can0/mb0_id

- extended id 0x1fffffff:
echo 0x9fffffff > /sys/class/net/can0/mb0_id

5230ff0ccc lguest: example launcher to use guard pages, drop PROT_EXEC, fix limit logic
PROT_EXEC seems to be completely unnecessary (as the lguest binary
never executes there), and will allow it to work with SELinux (and
more importantly, PaX :-) as they can/do forbid writable and
executable mappings.

Also, map PROT_NONE guard pages at start and end of guest memory for extra
paranoia.

I changed the length check to addr + size > guest_limit because >= is wrong
(addr of 0, size of getpagesize() with a guest_limit of getpagesize() would
false positive).

2fe17c1075 fallocate should be a file operation
Currently all filesystems except XFS implement fallocate asynchronously,
while XFS forced a commit.  Both of these are suboptimal - in case of O_SYNC
I/O we really want our allocation on disk, especially for the !KEEP_SIZE
case where we actually grow the file with user-visible zeroes.  On the
other hand always commiting the transaction is a bad idea for fast-path
uses of fallocate like for example in recent Samba versions.   Given
that block allocation is a data plane operation anyway change it from
an inode operation to a file operation so that we have the file structure
available that lets us check for O_SYNC.

This also includes moving the code around for a few of the filesystems,
and remove the already unnedded S_ISDIR checks given that we only wire
up fallocate for regular files.

ea5b778a8b Unexport do_add_mount() and add in follow_automount(), not ->d_automount()
Unexport do_add_mount() and make ->d_automount() return the vfsmount to be
added rather than calling do_add_mount() itself.  follow_automount() will then
do the addition.

This slightly complicates things as ->d_automount() normally wants to add the
new vfsmount to an expiration list and start an expiration timer.  The problem
with that is that the vfsmount will be deleted if it has a refcount of 1 and
the timer will not repeat if the expiration list is empty.

To this end, we require the vfsmount to be returned from d_automount() with a
refcount of (at least) 2.  One of these refs will be dropped unconditionally.
In addition, follow_automount() must get a 3rd ref around the call to
do_add_mount() lest it eat a ref and return an error, leaving the mount we
have open to being expired as we would otherwise have only 1 ref on it.

d_automount() should also add the the vfsmount to the expiration list (by
calling mnt_set_expiry()) and start the expiration timer before returning, if
this mechanism is to be used.  The vfsmount will be unlinked from the
expiration list by follow_automount() if do_add_mount() fails.

This patch also fixes the call to do_add_mount() for AFS to propagate the mount
flags from the parent vfsmount.

ab90911ff9 Allow d_manage() to be used in RCU-walk mode
Allow d_manage() to be called from pathwalk when it is in RCU-walk mode as well
as when it is in Ref-walk mode.  This permits __follow_mount_rcu() to call
d_manage() directly.  d_manage() needs a parameter to indicate that it is in
RCU-walk mode as it isn't allowed to sleep if in that mode (but should return
-ECHILD instead).

autofs4_d_manage() can then be set to retain RCU-walk mode if the daemon
accesses it and otherwise request dropping back to ref-walk mode.

cc53ce53c8 Add a dentry op to allow processes to be held during pathwalk transit
Add a dentry op (d_manage) to permit a filesystem to hold a process and make it
sleep when it tries to transit away from one of that filesystem's directories
during a pathwalk.  The operation is keyed off a new dentry flag
(DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT).

The filesystem is allowed to be selective about which processes it holds and
which it permits to continue on or prohibits from transiting from each flagged
directory.  This will allow autofs to hold up client processes whilst letting
its userspace daemon through to maintain the directory or the stuff behind it
or mounted upon it.

The ->d_manage() dentry operation:

	int (*d_manage)(struct path *path, bool mounting_here);

takes a pointer to the directory about to be transited away from and a flag
indicating whether the transit is undertaken by do_add_mount() or
do_move_mount() skipping through a pile of filesystems mounted on a mountpoint.

It should return 0 if successful and to let the process continue on its way;
-EISDIR to prohibit the caller from skipping to overmounted filesystems or
automounting, and to use this directory; or some other error code to return to
the user.

->d_manage() is called with namespace_sem writelocked if mounting_here is true
and no other locks held, so it may sleep.  However, if mounting_here is true,
it may not initiate or wait for a mount or unmount upon the parameter
directory, even if the act is actually performed by userspace.

Within fs/namei.c, follow_managed() is extended to check with d_manage() first
on each managed directory, before transiting away from it or attempting to
automount upon it.

follow_down() is renamed follow_down_one() and should only be used where the
filesystem deliberately intends to avoid management steps (e.g. autofs).

A new follow_down() is added that incorporates the loop done by all other
callers of follow_down() (do_add/move_mount(), autofs and NFSD; whilst AFS, NFS
and CIFS do use it, their use is removed by converting them to use
d_automount()).  The new follow_down() calls d_manage() as appropriate.  It
also takes an extra parameter to indicate if it is being called from mount code
(with namespace_sem writelocked) which it passes to d_manage().  follow_down()
ignores automount points so that it can be used to mount on them.

__follow_mount_rcu() is made to abort rcu-walk mode if it hits a directory with
DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT set on the basis that we're probably going to have to
sleep.  It would be possible to enter d_manage() in rcu-walk mode too, and have
that determine whether to abort or not itself.  That would allow the autofs
daemon to continue on in rcu-walk mode.

Note that DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT on a directory should be cleared when it isn't
required as every tranist from that directory will cause d_manage() to be
invoked.  It can always be set again when necessary.

==========================
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR AUTOFS
==========================

Autofs currently uses the lookup() inode op and the d_revalidate() dentry op to
trigger the automounting of indirect mounts, and both of these can be called
with i_mutex held.

autofs knows that the i_mutex will be held by the caller in lookup(), and so
can drop it before invoking the daemon - but this isn't so for d_revalidate(),
since the lock is only held on _some_ of the code paths that call it.  This
means that autofs can't risk dropping i_mutex from its d_revalidate() function
before it calls the daemon.

The bug could manifest itself as, for example, a process that's trying to
validate an automount dentry that gets made to wait because that dentry is
expired and needs cleaning up:

	mkdir         S ffffffff8014e05a     0 32580  24956
	Call Trace:
	 [<ffffffff885371fd>] :autofs4:autofs4_wait+0x674/0x897
	 [<ffffffff80127f7d>] avc_has_perm+0x46/0x58
	 [<ffffffff8009fdcf>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e
	 [<ffffffff88537be6>] :autofs4:autofs4_expire_wait+0x41/0x6b

	 [<ffffffff80057a2f>] lookup_create+0x46/0x80
	 [<ffffffff800e6e31>] sys_mkdirat+0x56/0xe4

versus the automount daemon which wants to remove that dentry, but can't
because the normal process is holding the i_mutex lock:

	automount     D ffffffff8014e05a     0 32581      1              32561
	Call Trace:
	 [<ffffffff80063c3f>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x60/0x9b
	 [<ffffffff8000ccf1>] do_path_lookup+0x2ca/0x2f1
	 [<ffffffff80063c89>] .text.lock.mutex+0xf/0x14

	 [<ffffffff8005d229>] tracesys+0x71/0xe0
	 [<ffffffff8005d28d>] tracesys+0xd5/0xe0

which means that the system is deadlocked.

This patch allows autofs to hold up normal processes whilst the daemon goes
ahead and does things to the dentry tree behind the automouter point without
risking a deadlock as almost no locks are held in d_manage() and none in
d_automount().

9875cf8064 Add a dentry op to handle automounting rather than abusing follow_link()
Add a dentry op (d_automount) to handle automounting directories rather than
abusing the follow_link() inode operation.  The operation is keyed off a new
dentry flag (DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT).

This also makes it easier to add an AT_ flag to suppress terminal segment
automount during pathwalk and removes the need for the kludge code in the
pathwalk algorithm to handle directories with follow_link() semantics.

The ->d_automount() dentry operation:

	struct vfsmount *(*d_automount)(struct path *mountpoint);

takes a pointer to the directory to be mounted upon, which is expected to
provide sufficient data to determine what should be mounted.  If successful, it
should return the vfsmount struct it creates (which it should also have added
to the namespace using do_add_mount() or similar).  If there's a collision with
another automount attempt, NULL should be returned.  If the directory specified
by the parameter should be used directly rather than being mounted upon,
-EISDIR should be returned.  In any other case, an error code should be
returned.

The ->d_automount() operation is called with no locks held and may sleep.  At
this point the pathwalk algorithm will be in ref-walk mode.

Within fs/namei.c itself, a new pathwalk subroutine (follow_automount()) is
added to handle mountpoints.  It will return -EREMOTE if the automount flag was
set, but no d_automount() op was supplied, -ELOOP if we've encountered too many
symlinks or mountpoints, -EISDIR if the walk point should be used without
mounting and 0 if successful.  The path will be updated to point to the mounted
filesystem if a successful automount took place.

__follow_mount() is replaced by follow_managed() which is more generic
(especially with the patch that adds ->d_manage()).  This handles transits from
directories during pathwalk, including automounting and skipping over
mountpoints (and holding processes with the next patch).

__follow_mount_rcu() will jump out of RCU-walk mode if it encounters an
automount point with nothing mounted on it.

follow_dotdot*() does not handle automounts as you don't want to trigger them
whilst following "..".

I've also extracted the mount/don't-mount logic from autofs4 and included it
here.  It makes the mount go ahead anyway if someone calls open() or creat(),
tries to traverse the directory, tries to chdir/chroot/etc. into the directory,
or sticks a '/' on the end of the pathname.  If they do a stat(), however,
they'll only trigger the automount if they didn't also say O_NOFOLLOW.

I've also added an inode flag (S_AUTOMOUNT) so that filesystems can mark their
inodes as automount points.  This flag is automatically propagated to the
dentry as DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT by __d_instantiate().  This saves NFS and could
save AFS a private flag bit apiece, but is not strictly necessary.  It would be
preferable to do the propagation in d_set_d_op(), but that doesn't normally
have access to the inode.

[AV: fixed breakage in case if __follow_mount_rcu() fails and nameidata_drop_rcu()
succeeds in RCU case of do_lookup(); we need to fall through to non-RCU case after
that, rather than just returning with ungrabbed *path]
