21fc61c73c don't put symlink bodies in pagecache into highmem
kmap() in page_follow_link_light() needed to go - allowing to hold
an arbitrary number of kmaps for long is a great way to deadlocking
the system.

new helper (inode_nohighmem(inode)) needs to be used for pagecache
symlinks inodes; done for all in-tree cases.  page_follow_link_light()
instrumented to yell about anything missed.

063d99b4fa mm, fs: obey gfp_mapping for add_to_page_cache()
Commit 6afdb859b7 ("mm: do not ignore mapping_gfp_mask in page cache
allocation paths") has caught some users of hardcoded GFP_KERNEL used in
the page cache allocation paths.  This, however, wasn't complete and
there were others which went unnoticed.

Dave Chinner has reported the following deadlock for xfs on loop device:
: With the recent merge of the loop device changes, I'm now seeing
: XFS deadlock on my single CPU, 1GB RAM VM running xfs/073.
:
: The deadlocked is as follows:
:
: kloopd1: loop_queue_read_work
:       xfs_file_iter_read
:       lock XFS inode XFS_IOLOCK_SHARED (on image file)
:       page cache read (GFP_KERNEL)
:       radix tree alloc
:       memory reclaim
:       reclaim XFS inodes
:       log force to unpin inodes
:       <wait for log IO completion>
:
: xfs-cil/loop1: <does log force IO work>
:       xlog_cil_push
:       xlog_write
:       <loop issuing log writes>
:               xlog_state_get_iclog_space()
:               <blocks due to all log buffers under write io>
:               <waits for IO completion>
:
: kloopd1: loop_queue_write_work
:       xfs_file_write_iter
:       lock XFS inode XFS_IOLOCK_EXCL (on image file)
:       <wait for inode to be unlocked>
:
: i.e. the kloopd, with it's split read and write work queues, has
: introduced a dependency through memory reclaim. i.e. that writes
: need to be able to progress for reads make progress.
:
: The problem, fundamentally, is that mpage_readpages() does a
: GFP_KERNEL allocation, rather than paying attention to the inode's
: mapping gfp mask, which is set to GFP_NOFS.
:
: The didn't used to happen, because the loop device used to issue
: reads through the splice path and that does:
:
:       error = add_to_page_cache_lru(page, mapping, index,
:                       GFP_KERNEL & mapping_gfp_mask(mapping));

This has changed by commit aa4d86163e ("block: loop: switch to VFS
ITER_BVEC").

This patch changes mpage_readpage{s} to follow gfp mask set for the
mapping.  There are, however, other places which are doing basically the
same.

lustre:ll_dir_filler is doing GFP_KERNEL from the function which
apparently uses GFP_NOFS for other allocations so let's make this
consistent.

cifs:readpages_get_pages is called from cifs_readpages and
__cifs_readpages_from_fscache called from the same path obeys mapping
gfp.

ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping is hardcoding GFP_KERNEL as well
regardless it uses mapping_gfp_mask for the page allocation.

ext4_mpage_readpages is the called from the page cache allocation path
same as read_pages and read_cache_pages

As I've noticed in my previous post I cannot say I would be happy about
sprinkling mapping_gfp_mask all over the place and it sounds like we
should drop gfp_mask argument altogether and use it internally in
__add_to_page_cache_locked that would require all the filesystems to use
mapping gfp consistently which I am not sure is the case here.  From a
quick glance it seems that some file system use it all the time while
others are selective.

b4caecd480 fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support
Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the
backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap
operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated
to it's original purpose.

Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to
the nommu mmap code instead.  Splitting this from the backing_dev_info
structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't
otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a
backing_dev_info for a character device.  It also removes the need for
the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

af52b040eb fs/ramfs: don't use module_init for non-modular core code
The ramfs is always built in.  It will never be modular, so using
module_init as an alias for __initcall is rather misleading.

Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h
to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing.

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs.  one of the
priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of fs_initcall (which makes sense for fs code)
will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level 5-fs
(i.e. slightly earlier).  However no observable impact of that small
difference has been observed during testing, or is expected.

Also note that this change uncovers a missing semicolon bug in the
registration of the initcall.

4bbee76bc9 initmpfs: move bdi setup from init_rootfs to init_ramfs
Even though ramfs hasn't got a backing device, commit e0bf68ddec ("mm:
bdi init hooks") added one anyway, and put the initialization in
init_rootfs() since that's the first user, leaving it out of init_ramfs()
to avoid duplication.

But initmpfs uses init_tmpfs() instead, so move the init into the
filesystem's init function, add a "once" guard to prevent duplicate
initialization, and call the filesystem init from rootfs init.

This goes part of the way to allowing ramfs to be built as a module.

There is no backing store to ramfs and file creation
rules are the same as for any other filesystem so
it is semantically safe to allow unprivileged users

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().

memleak is ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() added page refcount to 2

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:

85fe4025c6 fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inode
Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode
move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it.
For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is
the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino
by themselves.  For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning
any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others
it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed,
but that's left for later patches.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

0a8eba9b7f ramfs: ignore unknown mount options
On systems where CONFIG_SHMEM is disabled, mounting tmpfs filesystems can
fail when tmpfs options are used.  This is because tmpfs creates a small
wrapper around ramfs which rejects unknown options, and ramfs itself only
supports a tiny subset of what tmpfs supports.  This makes it pretty hard
to use the same userspace systems across different configuration systems.
As such, ramfs should ignore the tmpfs options when tmpfs is merely a
wrapper around ramfs.

This used to work before commit c3b1b1cbf0 as previously, ramfs would
ignore all options.  But now, we get:
ramfs: bad mount option: size=10M
mount: mounting mdev on /dev failed: Invalid argument

Another option might be to restore the previous behavior, where ramfs
simply ignored all unknown mount options ... which is what Hugh prefers.
