371fdab100 hostfs: use kmalloc instead of kzalloc
The inode info structure is zeroed at allocation with kzalloc, and then
all but one of the fields (including the largest, vfs_inode) are
initialised explicitly. Switch to using kmalloc and initialise the
remaining field too.

9dcc5e8a46 hostfs: remove "will unlock" comment
A "will unlock" comment was added to hostfs in the following commit,
along with a spinlock:

Commit e9193059b1 ("hostfs: fix races in
dentry_name() and inode_name()").

But the spinlock was subsequently removed in the following commit:

Commit ec2447c278 ("hostfs: simplify
locking").

Since the comment is no longer applicable, remove it.

b1983cd897 create_mnt_ns: unidiomatic use of list_add()
while list_add(A, B) and list_add(B, A) are equivalent when both A and B
are guaranteed to be empty, the usual idiom is list_add(what, where),
not the other way round...  Not a bug per se, but only by accident and
it makes RTFS harder for no good reason.

61572bb1f4 fs: remove dentry_lru_prune()
When pruning a dentry, its ancestor dentry can also be pruned. But
the ancestor dentry does not go through dput(), so it does not get
put on the dentry LRU. Hence associating d_prune with removing the
dentry from the LRU is the wrong.

The fix is remove dentry_lru_prune(). Call file system's d_prune()
callback directly when pruning dentries.

1db772216f Merge branch 'for-3.10' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux
Pull nfsd changes from J Bruce Fields:
 "Highlights include:

   - Some more DRC cleanup and performance work from Jeff Layton

   - A gss-proxy upcall from Simo Sorce: currently krb5 mounts to the
     server using credentials from Active Directory often fail due to
     limitations of the svcgssd upcall interface.  This replacement
     lifts those limitations.  The existing upcall is still supported
     for backwards compatibility.

   - More NFSv4.1 support: at this point, if a user with a current
     client who upgrades from 4.0 to 4.1 should see no regressions.  In
     theory we do everything a 4.1 server is required to do.  Patches
     for a couple minor exceptions are ready for 3.11, and with those
     and some more testing I'd like to turn 4.1 on by default in 3.11."

Fix up semantic conflict as per Stephen Rothwell and linux-next:

Commit 030d794bf4 ("SUNRPC: Use gssproxy upcall for server RPCGSS
authentication") adds two new users of "PDE(inode)->data", but we're
supposed to use "PDE_DATA(inode)" instead since commit d9dda78bad
("procfs: new helper - PDE_DATA(inode)").

The old PDE() macro is no longer available since commit c30480b92c
("proc: Make the PROC_I() and PDE() macros internal to procfs")

c30480b92c proc: Make the PROC_I() and PDE() macros internal to procfs
Make the PROC_I() and PDE() macros internal to procfs.  This means making
PDE_DATA() out of line.  This could be made more optimal by storing
PDE()->data into inode->i_private.

Also provide a __PDE_DATA() that is inline and internal to procfs.

Supply a function (proc_remove()) to remove a proc entry (and any subtree
rooted there) by proc_dir_entry pointer rather than by name and (optionally)
root dir entry pointer.  This allows us to eliminate all remaining pde->name
accesses outside of procfs.

e42270a19e reiserfs: Don't access the proc_dir_entry in r_open(), r_start() r_show()
Don't access the proc_dir_entry in ReiserFS's r_open(), r_start() r_show()
procfs interface functions.

ReiserFS stores the ->show() method pointer in PDE->data and the super_block
pointer in PDE->parent->data.  This isn't changing.

Currently, ReiserFS passes the PDE pointer into seq_file::private from
r_open() so that r_start() and r_show() can then access it.  Instead, use
seq_open_private() to allocate a two-pointer struct that's passed through
seq_file::private and put the ->show() method and the sb pointers in there.

4a520d2769 proc: Supply an accessor for getting the data from a PDE's parent
Supply an accessor function for getting the private data from the parent
proc_dir_entry struct of the proc_dir_entry struct associated with an inode.

ReiserFS, for instance, stores the super_block pointer in the proc directory
it makes for that super_block, and a pointer to the respective seq_file show
function in each of the proc files in that directory.

This allows a reduction in the number of file_operations structs, open
functions and seq_operations structs required.  The problem otherwise is that
each show function requires two pieces of data but only has storage for one
per PDE (and this has no release function).

73aaa22d5f jfs: fix a couple races
This patch fixes races uncovered by xfstests testcase 068.

One race is the result of jfs_sync() trying to write a sync point to the
journal after it has been frozen (or possibly in the process). Since
freezing sync's the journal, there is no need to write a sync point so
we simply want to return.

The second involves jfs_write_inode() being called on a deleted inode.
It calls jfs_flush_journal which is held up by the jfs_commit thread
doing the final iput on the same deleted inode, which itself is
waiting for the I_SYNC flag to be cleared. jfs_write_inode need not
do anything when i_nlink is zero, which is the easy fix.

e56fb28740 exec: do not abuse ->cred_guard_mutex in threadgroup_lock()
threadgroup_lock() takes signal->cred_guard_mutex to ensure that
thread_group_leader() is stable.  This doesn't look nice, the scope of
this lock in do_execve() is huge.

And as Dave pointed out this can lead to deadlock, we have the
following dependencies:

	do_execve:		cred_guard_mutex -> i_mutex
	cgroup_mount:		i_mutex -> cgroup_mutex
	attach_task_by_pid:	cgroup_mutex -> cred_guard_mutex

Change de_thread() to take threadgroup_change_begin() around the
switch-the-leader code and change threadgroup_lock() to avoid
->cred_guard_mutex.

Note that de_thread() can't sleep with ->group_rwsem held, this can
obviously deadlock with the exiting leader if the writer is active, so it
does threadgroup_change_end() before schedule().

12eaaf309a set_task_comm: kill the pointless memset() + wmb()
set_task_comm() does memset() + wmb() before strlcpy().  This buys
nothing and to add to the confusion, the comment is wrong.

- We do not need memset() to be "safe from non-terminating string
  reads", the final char is always zero and we never change it.

- wmb() is paired with nothing, it cannot prevent from printing
  the mixture of the old/new data unless the reader takes the lock.

830e0fc967 fs, proc: truncate /proc/pid/comm writes to first TASK_COMM_LEN bytes
Currently, a write to a procfs file will return the number of bytes
successfully written.  If the actual string is longer than this, the
remainder of the string will not be be written and userspace will
complete the operation by issuing additional write()s.

Hence

	$ echo -n "abcdefghijklmnopqrs" > /proc/self/comm

results in

	$ cat /proc/$$/comm
	pqrs

since the final four bytes were written with a second write() since
TASK_COMM_LEN == 16.  This is obviously an undesired result and not
equivalent to prctl(PR_SET_NAME).  The implementation should not need to
know the definition of TASK_COMM_LEN.

This patch truncates the string to the first TASK_COMM_LEN bytes and
returns the bytes written as the length of the string written so the
second write() is suppressed.

	$ cat /proc/$$/comm
	abcdefghijklmno

dc7ee2aac8 coredump: change wait_for_dump_helpers() to use wait_event_interruptible()
wait_for_dump_helpers() calls wake_up/kill_fasync from inside the
wait_event-like loop.  This is not needed and in fact this is not
strictly correct, we can/should do this only once after we change
pipe->writers.  We could even check if it becomes zero.

Change this code to use use wait_event_interruptible(), this can also
help to make this wait freezable.

With this patch we check pipe->readers without pipe_lock(), this is
fine.  Once we see pipe->readers == 1 we know that the handler
decremented the counter, this is all we need.

079148b919 coredump: factor out the setting of PF_DUMPCORE
Cleanup.  Every linux_binfmt->core_dump() sets PF_DUMPCORE, move this into

528f827ee0 coredump: introduce dump_interrupted()
By discussion with Mandeep.

Change dump_write(), dump_seek() and do_coredump() to check
signal_pending() and abort if it is true.  dump_seek() does this only
before f_op->llseek(), otherwise it relies on dump_write().

We need this change to ensure that the coredump won't delay suspend, and
to ensure it reacts to SIGKILL "quickly enough", a core dump can take a
lot of time.  In particular this can help oom-killer.

We add the new trivial helper, dump_interrupted() to add the comments and
to simplify the potential freezer changes.  Perhaps it will have more
callers.

Ideally it should do try_to_freeze() but then we need the unpleasant
changes in dump_write() and wait_for_dump_helpers().  It is not trivial to
change dump_write() to restart if f_op->write() fails because of
freezing().  We need to handle the short writes, we need to clear
TIF_SIGPENDING (and we can't rely on recalc_sigpending() unless we change
it to check PF_DUMPCORE).  And if the buggy f_op->write() sets
TIF_SIGPENDING we can not distinguish this case from the race with
freeze_task() + __thaw_task().

So we simply accept the fact that the freezer can truncate a core-dump but
at least you can reliably suspend.  Hopefully we can tolerate this
unlikely case and the necessary complications doesn't worth a trouble.
But if we decide to make the coredumping freezable later we can do this on
top of this change.

acdedd99b0 coredump: sanitize the setting of signal->group_exit_code
Now that the coredumping process can be SIGKILL'ed, the setting of
->group_exit_code in do_coredump() can race with complete_signal() and
SIGKILL or 0x80 can be "lost", or wait(status) can report status ==
SIGKILL | 0x80.

But the main problem is that it is not clear to me what should we do if
binfmt->core_dump() succeeds but SIGKILL was sent, that is why this patch
comes as a separate change.

This patch adds 0x80 if ->core_dump() succeeds and the process was not
killed.  But perhaps we can (should?) re-set ->group_exit_code changed by
SIGKILL back to "siginfo->si_signo |= 0x80" in case when core_dumped == T.

6cd8f0acae coredump: ensure that SIGKILL always kills the dumping thread
prepare_signal() blesses SIGKILL sent to the dumping process but this
signal can be "lost" anyway.  The problems is, complete_signal() sees
SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and skips the "kill them all" logic.  And even if the
dumping process is single-threaded (so the target is always "correct"),
the group-wide SIGKILL is not recorded in task->pending and thus
__fatal_signal_pending() won't be true.  A multi-threaded case has even
more problems.

And even ignoring all technical details, SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT doesn't look
right to me.  This coredumping process is not exiting yet, it can do a lot
of work dumping the core.

With this patch the dumping process doesn't have SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, we set
signal->group_exit_task instead.  This makes signal_group_exit() true and
thus this should equally close the races with exit/exec/stop but allows to
kill the dumping thread reliably.

Notes:
	- It is not clear what should we do with ->group_exit_code
	  if the dumper was killed, see the next change.

	- we need more (hopefully straightforward) changes to ensure
	  that SIGKILL actually interrupts the coredump. Basically we
	  need to check __fatal_signal_pending() in dump_write() and
	  dump_seek().
