Al Viro 8d0207652c ->splice_write() via ->write_iter()
iter_file_splice_write() - a ->splice_write() instance that gathers the
pipe buffers, builds a bio_vec-based iov_iter covering those and feeds
it to ->write_iter().  A bunch of simple cases coverted to that...

Bob Liu fea9f718b3 fs: ramfs: file-nommu: add SetPageUptodate()
There is a bug in the below scenario for !CONFIG_MMU:

 1. create a new file
 2. mmap the file and write to it
 3. read the file can't get the correct value

Because

  sys_read() -> generic_file_aio_read() -> simple_readpage() -> clear_page()

which causes the page to be zeroed.

Add SetPageUptodate() to ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() so that
generic_file_aio_read() do not call simple_readpage().

Bob Liu b836aec53e ramfs: fix memleak on no-mmu arch
On no-mmu arch, there is a memleak during shmem test.  The cause of this
memleak is ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() added page refcount to 2
which makes iput() can't free that pages.

The simple test file is like this:

  int main(void)
  {
	int i;
	key_t k = ftok("/etc", 42);

	for ( i=0; i<100; ++i) {
		int id = shmget(k, 10000, 0644|IPC_CREAT);
		if (id == -1) {
			printf("shmget error\n");
		}
		if(shmctl(id, IPC_RMID, NULL ) == -1) {
			printf("shm  rm error\n");
			return -1;
		}
	}
	printf("run ok...\n");
	return 0;
  }

And the result:

Christoph Hellwig 2c27c65ed0 check ATTR_SIZE contraints in inode_change_ok
Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in ->setattr by adding
those checks to inode_change_ok.  Also clean up and document inode_change_ok
to make this obvious.

As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and
simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error.  This
simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize
almost everywhere.  Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark
ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious.

Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an
audit for its removal anyway.

Note: setattr code in ecryptfs doesn't call inode_change_ok at all and
needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.

Christoph Hellwig 1b061d9247 rename the generic fsync implementations
We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently.
The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called
simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with,
the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync
which can lead to some confusion.

This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync
to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used
with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious
what to expect.  In addition add some documentation for both methods.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

David Howells 7e6608724c nommu: fix shared mmap after truncate shrinkage problems
Fix a problem in NOMMU mmap with ramfs whereby a shared mmap can happen
over the end of a truncation.  The problem is that
ramfs_nommu_check_mappings() checks that the reduced file size against the
VMA tree, but not the vm_region tree.

The following sequence of events can cause the problem:

	fd = open("/tmp/x", O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT, 0600);
	ftruncate(fd, 32 * 1024);
	a = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
	b = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
	munmap(a, 32 * 1024);
	ftruncate(fd, 16 * 1024);
	c = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);

Mapping 'a' creates a vm_region covering 32KB of the file.  Mapping 'b'
sees that the vm_region from 'a' is covering the region it wants and so
shares it, pinning it in memory.

Mapping 'a' then goes away and the file is truncated to the end of VMA
'b'.  However, the region allocated by 'a' is still in effect, and has
_not_ been reduced.

Mapping 'c' is then created, and because there's a vm_region covering the
desired region, get_unmapped_area() is _not_ called to repeat the check,
and the mapping is granted, even though the pages from the latter half of
the mapping have been discarded.

However:

	d = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);

Mapping 'd' should work, and should end up sharing the region allocated by
'a'.

To deal with this, we shrink the vm_region struct during the truncation,
lest do_mmap_pgoff() take it as licence to share the full region
automatically without calling the get_unmapped_area() file op again.

David Howells 81759b5b22 nommu: fix race between ramfs truncation and shared mmap
Fix the race between the truncation of a ramfs file and an attempt to make
a shared mmap of region of that file.

The problem is that do_mmap_pgoff() calls f_op->get_unmapped_area() to
verify that the file region is made of contiguous pages and to find its
base address - but there isn't any locking to guarantee this region until
vma_prio_tree_insert() is called by add_vma_to_mm().

Note that moving the functionality into f_op->mmap() doesn't help as that
is also called before vma_prio_tree_insert().

Instead make ramfs_nommu_check_mappings() grab nommu_region_sem whilst it
does its checks.  This means that this function will wait whilst mmaps
take place.

Enrik Berkhan 020fe22ff1 nommu: ramfs: pages allocated to an inode's pagecache may get wrongly discarded
The pages attached to a ramfs inode's pagecache by truncation from nothing
- as done by SYSV SHM for example - may get discarded under memory
pressure.

The problem is that the pages are not marked dirty.  Anything that creates
data in an MMU-based ramfs will cause the pages holding that data will
cause the set_page_dirty() aop to be called.

For the NOMMU-based mmap, set_page_dirty() may be called by write(), but
it won't be called by page-writing faults on writable mmaps, and it isn't
called by ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() when a file is being truncated
from nothing to allocate a contiguous run.

The solution is to mark the pages dirty at the point of allocation by the
truncation code.

Rik van Riel 4f98a2fee8 vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets
Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file
systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap
("anon").  The latter includes tmpfs.

The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots
of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to
find the page cache pages that it should evict.

This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much
we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists.  The big
policy changes are in separate patches.

unusable for "memory mapping" it to userspace).

However do_truncate is what caused the lock ordering error, due to it
taking i_mutex.  In this case, we can actually just call ramfs directly to
allocate memory for the mapping, rather than go via truncate.

Bryan Wu 85f6038f21 RAMFS NOMMU: missed POSIX UID/GID inode attribute checking
This bug was caught by LTP testcase fchmod06 on Blackfin platform.

In the manpage of fchmod, "EPERM: The effective UID does not match the
owner of the file, and the process is not privileged (Linux: it does not
have the CAP_FOWNER capability)."

But the ramfs nommu code missed the inode_change_ok POSIX UID/GID
verification. This patch fixed this.

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const

Badari Pulavarty 543ade1fc9 [PATCH] Streamline generic_file_* interfaces and filemap cleanups
This patch cleans up generic_file_*_read/write() interfaces.  Christoph
Hellwig gave me the idea for this clean ups.

In a nutshell, all filesystems should set .aio_read/.aio_write methods and use
do_sync_read/ do_sync_write() as their .read/.write methods.  This allows us
to cleanup all variants of generic_file_* routines.

Final available interfaces:

generic_file_aio_read() - read handler
generic_file_aio_write() - write handler
generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - no lock write handler

__generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - internal worker routine

David Howells 21ff821630 [PATCH] NOMMU: Fix execution off of ramfs with mmap()
Fix execution through the FDPIC binfmt of programs stored on ramfs by
preventing the ramfs mmap() returning successfully on a private mapping of
a ramfs file.  This causes NOMMU mmap to make a copy of the mapped portion
of the file and map that instead.

This could be improved by granting direct mapping access to read-only
private mappings for which the data is stored on a contiguous run of pages.
 However, this is only likely to be the case if the file was extended with
truncate before being written.

ramfs is left to map the file directly for shared mappings so that SYSV IPC
and POSIX shared memory both still work.

The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to

things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)

David Howells 642fb4d1f1 [PATCH] NOMMU: Provide shared-writable mmap support on ramfs
The attached patch makes ramfs support shared-writable mmaps by:

 (1) Attempting to perform a contiguous block allocation to the requested size
     when truncate attempts to increase the file from zero size, such as
     happens when:

	fd = shm_open("/file/on/ramfs", ...):
	ftruncate(fd, size_requested);
	addr = mmap(NULL, subsize, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED,
		    fd, offset);

 (2) Permitting any shared-writable mapping over any contiguous set of extant
     pages. get_unmapped_area() will return the address into the actual ramfs
     pages. The mapping may start anywhere and be of any size, but may not go
     over the end of file. Multiple mappings may overlap in any way.

 (3) Not permitting a file to be shrunk if it would truncate any shared
     mappings (private mappings are copied).

Thus this patch provides support for POSIX shared memory on NOMMU kernels,
with certain limitations such as there being a large enough block of pages
available to support the allocation and it only working on directly mappable
filesystems.
