Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "This the bunch that sat in -next + lock_parent() fix.  This is the
  minimal set; there's more pending stuff.

  In particular, I really hope to get acct.c fixes merged this cycle -
  we need that to deal sanely with delayed-mntput stuff.  In the next
  pile, hopefully - that series is fairly short and localized
  (kernel/acct.c, fs/super.c and fs/namespace.c).  In this pile: more
  iov_iter work.  Most of prereqs for ->splice_write with sane locking
  order are there and Kent's dio rewrite would also fit nicely on top of
  this pile"

fs/fat/inode.c: clean up string initializations (char[] instead of char *)

2014-06-06T23:08:11+00:00

Initializations like 'char *foo = "bar"' will create two variables: a
static string and a pointer (foo) to that static string.  Instead 'char
foo[] = "bar"' will declare a single variable and will end up in shorter
assembly (according to Jeff Garzik on the KernelJanitor's TODO list).

fs/fat/: add support for DOS 1.x formatted volumes

2014-06-06T23:08:10+00:00

Add structure for parsed BPB information, struct fat_bios_param_block,
and move all of the deserialization and validation logic from
fat_fill_super() into fat_read_bpb().

Add a 'dos1xfloppy' mount option to infer DOS 2.x BIOS Parameter Block
defaults from block device geometry for ancient floppies and floppy
images, as a fall-back from the default BPB parsing logic.

When fat_read_bpb() finds an invalid FAT filesystem and dos1xfloppy is
set, fall back to fat_read_static_bpb().  fat_read_static_bpb()
validates that the entire BPB is zero, and that the floppy has a
DOS-style 8086 code bootstrapping header.  Then it fills in default BPB
values from media size and a table.[0]

Media size is assumed to be static for archaic FAT volumes.  See also:
[1].

Fixes kernel.org bug #42617.

mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache

2014-04-03T23:21:01+00:00

Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.

Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.
