e2f238f7d5 configfs: calculate the depth of parent item
When create symbolic link, create_link should calculate the depth
of the parent item. However, both the first and second parameters
of configfs_get_target_path had been set to the target. Broken
symbolic link created.

cfb82e1df8 y2038: add inode timestamp clamping
This series from Deepa Dinamani adds a per-superblock minimum/maximum
 timestamp limit for a file system, and clamps timestamps as they are
 written, to avoid random behavior from integer overflow as well as having
 different time stamps on disk vs in memory.
 
 At mount time, a warning is now printed for any file system that can
 represent current timestamps but not future timestamps more than 30
 years into the future, similar to the arbitrary 30 year limit that was
 added to settimeofday().
 
 This was picked as a compromise to warn users to migrate to other file
 systems (e.g. ext4 instead of ext3) when they need the file system to
 survive beyond 2038 (or similar limits in other file systems), but not
 get in the way of normal usage.

351e5d869e configfs: fix a deadlock in configfs_symlink()
Configfs abuses symlink(2).  Unlike the normal filesystems, it
wants the target resolved at symlink(2) time, like link(2) would've
done.  The problem is that ->symlink() is called with the parent
directory locked exclusive, so resolving the target inside the
->symlink() is easily deadlocked.

Short of really ugly games in sys_symlink() itself, all we can
do is to unlock the parent before resolving the target and
relock it after.  However, that invalidates the checks done
by the caller of ->symlink(), so we have to
	* check that dentry is still where it used to be
(it couldn't have been moved, but it could've been unhashed)
	* recheck that it's still negative (somebody else
might've successfully created a symlink with the same name
while we were looking the target up)
	* recheck the permissions on the parent directory.

b0841eefd9 configfs: provide exclusion between IO and removals
Make sure that attribute methods are not called after the item
has been removed from the tree.  To do so, we
	* at the point of no return in removals, grab ->frag_sem
exclusive and mark the fragment dead.
	* call the methods of attributes with ->frag_sem taken
shared and only after having verified that the fragment is still
alive.

	The main benefit is for method instances - they are
guaranteed that the objects they are accessing *and* all ancestors
are still there.  Another win is that we don't need to bother
with extra refcount on config_item when opening a file -
the item will be alive for as long as it stays in the tree, and
we won't touch it/attributes/any associated data after it's
been removed from the tree.

f19e4ed1e1 configfs_register_group() shouldn't be (and isn't) called in rmdirable parts
revert cc57c07343 "configfs: fix registered group removal"
It was an attempt to handle something that fundamentally doesn't
work - configfs_register_group() should never be done in a part
of tree that can be rmdir'ed.  And in mainline it never had been,
so let's not borrow trouble; the fix was racy anyway, it would take
a lot more to make that work and desired semantics is not clear.

In the vfs_statx() context, during path lookup, the dentry gets
added to sd->s_dentry via configfs_attach_attr(). In the end,
vfs_statx() kills the dentry by calling path_put(), which invokes
configfs_d_iput(). Ideally, this dentry must be removed from
sd->s_dentry but it doesn't if the sd->s_count >= 3. As a result,
sd->s_dentry is holding reference to a stale dentry pointer whose
memory is already freed up. This results in use-after-free issue,
when this stale sd->s_dentry is accessed later in
configfs_readdir() path.

This issue can be easily reproduced, by running the LTP test case -
sh fs_racer_file_list.sh /config
(https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/testcases/kernel/fs/racer/fs_racer_file_list.sh)

cc57c07343 configfs: fix registered group removal
This patch fixes a bug where configfs_register_group had added
a group in a tree, and userspace has done a rmdir on a dir somewhere
above that group and we hit a kernel crash. The problem is configfs_rmdir
will detach everything under it and unlink groups on the default_groups
list. It will not unlink groups added with configfs_register_group so when
configfs_unregister_group is called to drop its references to the group/items
we crash when we try to access the freed dentrys.

The patch just adds a check for if a rmdir has been done above
us and if so just does the unlink part of unregistration.

Sorry if you are getting this multiple times. I thouhgt I sent
this to some of you and lkml, but I do not see it.

1823342a1f configfs: replace strncpy with memcpy
gcc 8.1.0 complains:

fs/configfs/symlink.c:67:3: warning:
	'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many
	bytes from a string as its length
fs/configfs/symlink.c: In function 'configfs_get_link':
fs/configfs/symlink.c:63:13: note: length computed here

Using strncpy() is indeed less than perfect since the length of data to
be copied has already been determined with strlen(). Replace strncpy()
with memcpy() to address the warning and optimize the code a little.

95582b0083 vfs: change inode times to use struct timespec64
struct timespec is not y2038 safe. Transition vfs to use
y2038 safe struct timespec64 instead.

The change was made with the help of the following cocinelle
script. This catches about 80% of the changes.
All the header file and logic changes are included in the
first 5 rules. The rest are trivial substitutions.
I avoid changing any of the function signatures or any other
filesystem specific data structures to keep the patch simple
for review.

The script can be a little shorter by combining different cases.
But, this version was sufficient for my usecase.

aa293583f0 configfs: make ci_type field, some pointers and function arguments const
The ci_type field of the config_item structure do not modify the fields
of the config_item_type structure it points to. And the other pointers
initialized with ci_type do not modify the fields as well.
So, make the ci_type field and the pointers initialized with ci_type
as const.

Make the struct config_item_type *type function argument of functions
config_{item/group}_init_type_name const as the argument in both the
functions is only stored in the ci_type field of a config_item structure
which is now made const.
Make the argument of configfs_register_default_group const as it is
only passed to the argument of the function config_group_init_type_name
which is now const.

ba80aa909c configfs: Fix race between create_link and configfs_rmdir
This patch closes a long standing race in configfs between
the creation of a new symlink in create_link(), while the
symlink target's config_item is being concurrently removed
via configfs_rmdir().

This can happen because the symlink target's reference
is obtained by config_item_get() in create_link() before
the CONFIGFS_USET_DROPPING bit set by configfs_detach_prep()
during configfs_rmdir() shutdown is actually checked..

This originally manifested itself on ppc64 on v4.8.y under
heavy load using ibmvscsi target ports with Novalink API:

To close this race, go ahead and obtain the symlink's target
config_item reference only after the existing CONFIGFS_USET_DROPPING
check succeeds.

This way, if configfs_rmdir() wins create_link() will return -ENONET,
and if create_link() wins configfs_rmdir() will return -EBUSY.

current_fs_time() uses struct super_block* as an argument.
As per Linus's suggestion, this is changed to take struct
inode* as a parameter instead. This is because the function
is primarily meant for vfs inode timestamps.
Also the function was renamed as per Arnd's suggestion.

Change all calls to current_fs_time() to use the new
current_time() function instead. current_fs_time() will be

3dc3afadeb configfs: don't set buffer_needs_fill to zero if show() returns error
A confgifs attribute's show() callback is called once the first time
the user attempts to read from it. If it returns an error, that
error is returned to the user. However, the open file's
buffer_needs_fill is still set to zero and consecutive read() calls
will find an empty buffer that doesn't need filling and return 0 to
the user. This could give the user the wrong impression that the
attribute was read successfully.

Fix this by not setting buffer_needs_fill if show() returns an error,
making consecutive read() calls call show() again and either get an
error again or get data.

f8608985f8 configfs: Remove ppos increment in configfs_write_bin_file
The simple_write_to_buffer() already increments the @ppos on success,
see fs/libfs.c simple_write_to_buffer() comment:

"
On success, the number of bytes written is returned and the offset @ppos
advanced by this number, or negative value is returned on error.
"

If the configfs_write_bin_file() is invoked with @count smaller than the
total length of the written binary file, it will be invoked multiple times.
Since configfs_write_bin_file() increments @ppos on success, after calling
simple_write_to_buffer(), the @ppos is incremented twice.

Subsequent invocation of configfs_write_bin_file() will result in the next
piece of data being written to the offset twice as long as the length of
the previous write, thus creating buffer with "holes" in it.

The simple testcase using DTO follows:
  $ mkdir /sys/kernel/config/device-tree/overlays/1
  $ dd bs=1 if=foo.dtbo of=/sys/kernel/config/device-tree/overlays/1/dtbo
Without this patch, the testcase will result in twice as big buffer in the
kernel, which is then passed to the cfs_overlay_item_dtbo_write() .

09cbfeaf1a mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

- I'm assisting Joel as co-maintainer and patch monkey now, and you will
    see pull reuquests from me for a while
  - Besides the MAINTAINERS update there is just a single change, which
    adds support for binary attributes to configfs, which are very similar
    to the sysfs binary attributes.  Thanks to Pantelis Antoniou!
  - You will see another actually bigger set of configfs changes in the
    SCSI target pull from Nic - those were merged before this new tree
    even existed

03607ace80 configfs: implement binary attributes
ConfigFS lacked binary attributes up until now. This patch
introduces support for binary attributes in a somewhat similar
manner of sysfs binary attributes albeit with changes that
fit the configfs usage model.

Problems that configfs binary attributes fix are everything that
requires a binary blob as part of the configuration of a resource,
such as bitstream loading for FPGAs, DTBs for dynamically created
devices etc.

Look at Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt for internals
and howto use them.

This patch is against linux-next as of today that contains
Christoph's configfs rework.
