006ebb40d3 Security: split proc ptrace checking into read vs. attach
Enable security modules to distinguish reading of process state via
proc from full ptrace access by renaming ptrace_may_attach to
ptrace_may_access and adding a mode argument indicating whether only
read access or full attach access is requested.  This allows security
modules to permit access to reading process state without granting
full ptrace access.  The base DAC/capability checking remains unchanged.

Read access to /proc/pid/mem continues to apply a full ptrace attach
check since check_mem_permission() already requires the current task
to already be ptracing the target.  The other ptrace checks within
proc for elements like environ, maps, and fds are changed to pass the
read mode instead of attach.

In the SELinux case, we model such reading of process state as a
reading of a proc file labeled with the target process' label.  This
enables SELinux policy to permit such reading of process state without
permitting control or manipulation of the target process, as there are
a number of cases where programs probe for such information via proc
but do not need to be able to control the target (e.g. procps,
lsof, PolicyKit, ConsoleKit).  At present we have to choose between
allowing full ptrace in policy (more permissive than required/desired)
or breaking functionality (or in some cases just silencing the denials
via dontaudit rules but this can hide genuine attacks).

This version of the patch incorporates comments from Casey Schaufler
(change/replace existing ptrace_may_attach interface, pass access
mode), and Chris Wright (provide greater consistency in the checking).

Note that like their predecessors __ptrace_may_attach and
ptrace_may_attach, the __ptrace_may_access and ptrace_may_access
interfaces use different return value conventions from each other (0
or -errno vs. 1 or 0).  I retained this difference to avoid any
changes to the caller logic but made the difference clearer by
changing the latter interface to return a bool rather than an int and
by adding a comment about it to ptrace.h for any future callers.

536abdb080 cifs: fix wksidarr declaration to be big-endian friendly
The current definition of wksidarr works fine on little endian arches
(since cpu_to_le32 is a no-op there), but on big-endian arches, it fails
to compile with this error:

error: braced-group within expression allowed only inside a function

The problem is that this static declaration has cpu_to_le32 embedded
within it, and that expands into a function macro.  We need to use
__constant_cpu_to_le32() instead.

e911d0cc87 cifs: fix inode leak in cifs_get_inode_info_unix
Try this:

    mount a share with unix extensions
    create a file on it
    umount the share

You'll get the following message in the ring buffer:

VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of cifs. Self-destruct in 5 seconds.  Have a
nice day...

...the problem is that cifs_get_inode_info_unix is creating and hashing
a new inode even when it's going to return error anyway. The first
lookup when creating a file returns an error so we end up leaking this
inode before we do the actual create. This appears to be a regression
caused by commit 0e4bbde94f.

The following patch seems to fix it for me, and fixes a minor
formatting nit as well.

e4079a11f5 ext4: do not set extents feature from the kernel
We've talked for a while about getting rid of any feature-
setting from the kernel; this gets rid of the code which would
set the INCOMPAT_EXTENTS flag on the first file write when mounted
as ext4[dev].

With this patch, if the extents feature is not already set on disk,
then mounting as ext4 will fall back to noextents with a warning,
and if -o extents is explicitly requested, the mount will fail,
also with warning.

c07651b556 ext4: Don't allow nonextenst mount option for large filesystem
The block mapped inode format can address only blocks within 2**32. This
causes a number of issues, the biggest of which is that the block
allocator needs to be taught that certain inodes can not utilize block
numbers > 2**32.  So until this is fixed, it is simplest to fail
mounting of file systems with more than 2**32 blocks if the -o noextents
option is given.

3e3398a08d ext4: delayed allocation i_blocks fix for stat
Right now i_blocks is not getting updated until the blocks are actually
allocaed on disk.  This means with delayed allocation, right after files
are copied, "ls -sF" shoes the file as taking 0 blocks on disk.  "du"
also shows the files taking zero space, which is highly confusing to the
user.

Since delayed allocation already keeps track of per-inode total
number of blocks that are subject to delayed allocation, this patch fix
this by using that to adjust the value returned by stat(2). When real
block allocation is done, the i_blocks will get updated. Since the
reserved blocks for delayed allocation will be decreased, this will be
keep value returned by stat(2) consistent.

632eaeab1f ext4: fix delalloc i_disksize early update issue
Ext4_da_write_end() used walk_page_buffers() with a callback function of
ext4_bh_unmapped_or_delay() to check if it extended the file size
without allocating any blocks (since in this case i_disksize needs to be
updated).  However, this is didn't work proprely because the buffer head
has not been marked dirty yet --- this is done later in
block_commit_write() --- which caused ext4_bh_unmapped_or_delay() to
always return false.

In addition, walk_page_buffers() checks all of the buffer heads covering
the page, and the only buffer_head that should be checked is the one
covering the end of the write.  Otherwise, given a 1k blocksize
filesystem and a 4k page size, the buffer head covering the first 1k
stripe of the file could be unmapped (because it was a sparse file), and
the second or third buffer_head covering that page could be mapped, and
using walk_page_buffers() would fail in this case since it would stop at
the first unmapped buffer_head and return true.

The core problem is that walk_page_buffers() was intended to do work in
a callback function, and a non-zero return value indicated a failure,
which termined the walk of the buffer heads covering the page.  It was
not intended to be used with a boolean function, such as
ext4_bh_unmapped_or_delay().

Add addtional fix from Aneesh to protect i_disksize update rave with truncate.

f0e6c98593 ext4: Handle page without buffers in ext4_*_writepage()
It can happen that buffers are removed from the page before it gets
marked dirty and then is passed to writepage().  In writepage() we just
initialize the buffers and check whether they are mapped and non
delay. If they are mapped and non delay we write the page. Otherwise we
mark them dirty.  With this change we don't do block allocation at all
in ext4_*_write_page.

writepage() can get called under many condition and with a locking order
of journal_start -> lock_page, we should not try to allocate blocks in
writepage() which get called after taking page lock.  writepage() can
get called via shrink_page_list even with a journal handle which was
created for doing inode update.  For example when doing
ext4_da_write_begin we create a journal handle with credit 1 expecting a
i_disksize update for the inode. But ext4_da_write_begin can cause
shrink_page_list via _grab_page_cache. So having a valid handle via
ext4_journal_current_handle is not a guarantee that we can use the
handle for block allocation in writepage, since we shouldn't be using
credits that had been reserved for other updates.  That it could result
in we running out of credits when we update inodes.

cd1aac3292 ext4: Add ordered mode support for delalloc
This provides a new ordered mode implementation which gets rid of using
buffer heads to enforce the ordering between metadata change with the
related data chage.  Instead, in the new ordering mode, it keeps track
of all of the inodes touched by each transaction on a list, and when
that transaction is committed, it flushes all of the dirty pages for
those inodes.  In addition, the new ordered mode reverses the lock
ordering of the page lock and transaction lock, which provides easier
support for delayed allocation.

d2a1763791 ext4: delayed allocation ENOSPC handling
This patch does block reservation for delayed
allocation, to avoid ENOSPC later at page flush time.

Blocks(data and metadata) are reserved at da_write_begin()
time, the freeblocks counter is updated by then, and the number of
reserved blocks is store in per inode counter.
        
At the writepage time, the unused reserved meta blocks are returned
back. At unlink/truncate time, reserved blocks are properly released.

This new ordered mode brings all sorts of advantages such as possibility 
to get rid of journal heads and buffer heads for data buffers in ordered 
mode, better ordering of writes on transaction commit, simplification of
 some JBD code, no more anonymous pages when truncate of data being 
committed happens.  Also with this new ordered mode, delayed allocation 
on ordered mode is much simpler.

cf108bca46 ext4: Invert the locking order of page_lock and transaction start
This changes are needed to support data=ordered mode handling via
inodes.  This enables us to get rid of the journal heads and buffer
heads for data buffers in the ordered mode.  With the changes, during
tranasaction commit we writeout the inode pages using the
writepages()/writepage(). That implies we take page lock during
transaction commit. This can cause a deadlock with the locking order
page_lock -> jbd2_journal_start, since the jbd2_journal_start can wait
for the journal_commit to happen and the journal_commit now needs to
take the page lock. To avoid this dead lock reverse the locking order.

c7d206b337 vfs: Move mark_inode_dirty() from under page lock in generic_write_end()
There's no need to call mark_inode_dirty() under page lock in

and more importantly it forces locking order of page lock and transaction

2e9ee85035 ext4: Use page_mkwrite vma_operations to get mmap write notification.
We would like to get notified when we are doing a write on mmap section.
This is needed with respect to preallocated area. We split the preallocated
area into initialzed extent and uninitialzed extent in the call back. This
let us handle ENOSPC better. Otherwise we get ENOSPC in the writepage and
that would result in data loss. The changes are also needed to handle ENOSPC
when writing to an mmap section of files with holes.

7061eba75c ext4: Use inode preallocation with -o noextents
When mballoc is enabled, block allocation for old block-based
files are allocated using mballoc allocator instead of old
block-based allocator. The old ext3 block reservation is turned
off when mballoc is turned on.

However, the in-core preallocation is not enabled for block-based/
non-extent based file block allocation. This result in performance
regression, as now we don't have "reservation" ore in-core preallocation
to prevent interleaved fragmentation in multiple writes workload.

This patch fix this by enable per inode in-core preallocation
for non extent files when mballoc is used.

530576bbf3 jbd2: fix race between jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() and jbd2 commit transaction
journal_try_to_free_buffers() could race with jbd commit transaction
when the later is holding the buffer reference while waiting for the
data buffer to flush to disk. If the caller of
journal_try_to_free_buffers() request tries hard to release the buffers,
it will treat the failure as error and return back to the caller. We
have seen the directo IO failed due to this race.  Some of the caller of
releasepage() also expecting the buffer to be dropped when passed with
GFP_KERNEL mask to the releasepage()->journal_try_to_free_buffers().

With this patch, if the caller is passing the GFP_KERNEL to indicating
this call could wait, in case of try_to_free_buffers() failed, let's
waiting for journal_commit_transaction() to finish commit the current
committing transaction , then try to free those buffers again with
journal locked.
