9377abd026 quota: don't call sync_fs() from vfs_quota_off() when there's no quota turn off
Sometimes, vfs_quota_off() is called on a partially set up super block (for
example when fill_super() fails for some reason).  In such cases we cannot
call ->sync_fs() because it can Oops because of not properly filled in super
block.  So in case we find there's not quota to turn off, we just skip
everything and return which fixes the above problem.

a0612b1f0b uml: hppfs fixes
hppfs tidying and fixes noticed during hch's get_inode work -
      style fixes
      a copy_to_user got its return value checked
      hppfs_write no longer fiddles file->f_pos because it gets and
returns pos in its arguments
      hppfs_delete_inode dputs the underlyng procfs dentry stored in
its private data and mntputs the vfsmnt stashed in s_fs_info
      hppfs_put_super no longer needs to mntput the s_fs_info, so it
no longer needs to exist
      hppfs_readlink and hppfs_follow_link were doing a bunch of stuff
with a struct file which they didn't use
      there is now a ->permission which calls generic_permission
      get_inode was always returning 0 for some reason - it now
returns an inode if nothing bad happened

c3921ab715 Add new 'cond_resched_bkl()' helper function
It acts exactly like a regular 'cond_resched()', but will not get
optimized away when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set.

Normal kernel code is already preemptable in the presense of
CONFIG_PREEMPT, so cond_resched() is optimized away (see commit
02b67cc3ba "sched: do not do
cond_resched() when CONFIG_PREEMPT").

But when wanting to conditionally reschedule while holding a lock, you
need to use "cond_sched_lock(lock)", and the new function is the BKL
equivalent of that.

Also make fs/locks.c use it.

e691b9d1a0 [CIFS] don't allow demultiplex thread to exit until kthread_stop is called
cifs_demultiplex_thread can exit under several conditions:

1) if it's signaled
2) if there's a problem with session setup
3) if kthread_stop is called on it

The first two are problems. If kthread_stop is called on the thread,
there is no guarantee that it will still be up. We need to have the
thread stay up until kthread_stop is called on it.

One option would be to not even try to tear things down until after
kthread_stop is called. However, in the case where there is a problem
setting up the session, there's no real reason to try continuing the
loop.

This patch allows the thread to clean up and prepare for exit under all
three conditions, but it has the thread go to sleep until kthread_stop
is called. This allows us to simplify the shutdown code somewhat since
we can be reasonably sure that the thread won't exit after being
signaled but before kthread_stop is called.

It also removes the places where the thread itself set the tsk variable
since it appeared that it could have a potential race where the thread
might never be shut down.

67750fb9e0 [CIFS] when not using unix extensions, check for and set ATTR_READONLY on create and mkdir
When creating a directory on a CIFS share without POSIX extensions,
and the given mode has no write bits set, set the ATTR_READONLY bit.

When creating a file, set ATTR_READONLY if the create mode has no write
bits set and we're not using unix extensions.

There are some comments about this being problematic due to the VFS
splitting creates into 2 parts. I'm not sure what that's actually
talking about, but I'm assuming that it has something to do with how
mknod is implemented. In the simple case where we have no unix
extensions and we're just creating a regular file, there's no reason
we can't set ATTR_READONLY.

generic_file_splice_write() duplicates remove_suid() just because it

cf432eb50f [CIFS] cleanup cifsd completion
Was a holdover from the old kernel_thread based cifsd
code. We needed to know that the thread had set the task variable
before proceeding. Now that kthread_run returns the new task, this
doesn't appear to be needed anymore.

As best I can tell, this sleep was intended to try to prevent
cifs_umount from freeing the cifsSesInfo struct before cifsd had
exited. Now that cifsd is using the kthread API, we know that
when kthread_stop returns that cifsd has exited, so I don't
think this is needed any longer.

0b2bac2f1e [PATCH] fix SMP ordering hole in fcntl_setlk()
fcntl_setlk()/close() race prevention has a subtle hole - we need to
make sure that if we *do* have an fcntl/close race on SMP box, the
access to descriptor table and inode->i_flock won't get reordered.

As it is, we get STORE inode->i_flock, LOAD descriptor table entry vs.
STORE descriptor table entry, LOAD inode->i_flock with not a single
lock in common on both sides.  We do have BKL around the first STORE,
but check in locks_remove_posix() is outside of BKL and for a good
reason - we don't want BKL on common path of close(2).

Solution is to hold ->file_lock around fcheck() in there; that orders
us wrt removal from descriptor table that preceded locks_remove_posix()
on close path and we either come first (in which case eviction will be
handled by the close side) or we'll see the effect of close and do
eviction ourselves.  Note that even though it's read-only access,
we do need ->file_lock here - rcu_read_lock() won't be enough to
order the things.

d35c7b0e54 unified (weak) sys_pipe implementation
This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with
one unified implementation.  This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated
code.

It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the
default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement
version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for
the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX
implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers)

I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL
isn't needed.  The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really
no obstacles.

file would be pining for fjords.

We don't actually care about nlink; we only care whether the inode in
question is unlinked or not.

868eb7a853 autofs: path_{get,put}() cleanups
Here are some more places where path_{get,put}() can be used instead of
dput()/mntput() pair.  Besides that it fixes a bug in autofs4_mount_busy()
where mntput() was called before dput().

9d2de6ad2a autofs4: fix incorrect return from root.c:try_to_fill_dentry()
Jeff Moyer has identified a case where the autofs4 function
root.c:try_to_fill_dentry() can return -EBUSY when it should return 0.

Jeff's description of the way this happens is:

"automount starts an expire for directory d.  after the callout to the daemon,
but before the rmdir, another process tries to walk into the same directory.
It puts itself onto the waitq, pending the expiration.

When the expire finishes, the second process is woken up.  In
try_to_fill_dentry, it does this check:

                status = d_invalidate(dentry);
                if (status != -EBUSY)
                        return -EAGAIN;

And status is EBUSY.  The dentry still has a non-zero d_inode, and the
flags do not contain LOOKUP_CONTINUE or LOOKUP_DIRECTORY

So, we fall through and return -EBUSY to the caller."

033790449b autofs4: fix execution order race in mount request code
Jeff Moyer has identified a race in due to an execution order dependency
in the autofs4 function root.c:try_to_fill_dentry().

Jeff's description of this race is:

"P1 does a lookup of /mount/submount/foo.  Since the VFS can't find an entry
for "foo" under /mount/submount, it calls into the autofs4 kernel module to
allocate a new dentry, D1.  The kernel creates a new waitq for this lookup and
calls the daemon to perform the mount.

The daemon performs a mkdir of the "foo" directory under /mount/submount,
which ends up creating a *new* dentry, D2.

Then, P2 does a lookup of /mount/submount/foo.  The VFS path walking logic
finds a dentry in the dcache, D2, and calls the revalidate function with this.
 In the autofs4 revalidate code, we then trigger a mount, since the dentry is
an empty directory that isn't a mountpoint, and so set DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING
and call into the wait code to trigger the mount.

The wait code finds our existing waitq entry (since it is keyed off of the
directory name) and adds itself to the list of waiters.

After the daemon finishes the mount, it calls back into the kernel to release
the waiters.  When this happens, P1 is woken up and goes about clearing the
DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING flag, but it does this in D1!  So, given that P1 in our
case is a program that will immediately try to access a file under
/mount/submount/foo, we end up finding the dentry D2 which still has the
pending flag set, and we set out to wait for a mount *again*!

So, one way to address this is to re-do the lookup at the end of
try_to_fill_dentry, and to clear the pending flag on the hashed dentry.  This
seems a sane approach to me."

And Jeff's patch does this.
