Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the first pull request for 4.14, containing most of the code
  changes. It's a quiet series this round, which I think we needed after
  the churn of the last few series. This contains:

   - Fix for a registration race in loop, from Anton Volkov.

   - Overflow complaint fix from Arnd for DAC960.

   - Series of drbd changes from the usual suspects.

   - Conversion of the stec/skd driver to blk-mq. From Bart.

   - A few BFQ improvements/fixes from Paolo.

   - CFQ improvement from Ritesh, allowing idling for group idle.

   - A few fixes found by Dan's smatch, courtesy of Dan.

   - A warning fixup for a race between changing the IO scheduler and
     device remova. From David Jeffery.

   - A few nbd fixes from Josef.

   - Support for cgroup info in blktrace, from Shaohua.

   - Also from Shaohua, new features in the null_blk driver to allow it
     to actually hold data, among other things.

   - Various corner cases and error handling fixes from Weiping Zhang.

   - Improvements to the IO stats tracking for blk-mq from me. Can
     drastically improve performance for fast devices and/or big
     machines.

   - Series from Christoph removing bi_bdev as being needed for IO
     submission, in preparation for nvme multipathing code.

   - Series from Bart, including various cleanups and fixes for switch

Pull GFS2 updates from Bob Peterson:
 "We've got a whopping 29 GFS2 patches for this merge window, mainly
  because we held some back from the previous merge window until we
  could get them perfected and well tested. We have a couple patch sets,
  including my patch set for protecting glock gl_object and Andreas
  Gruenbacher's patch set to fix the long-standing shrink- slab hang,
  plus a bunch of assorted bugs and cleanups.

  Summary:

   - I fixed a bug whereby an IO error would lead to a double-brelse.

   - Andreas Gruenbacher made a minor cleanup to call his relatively new
     function, gfs2_holder_initialized, rather than doing it manually.
     This was just missed by a previous patch set.

   - Jan Kara fixed a bug whereby the SGID was being cleared when
     inheriting ACLs.

   - Andreas found a bug and fixed it in his previous patch, "Get rid of
     flush_delayed_work in gfs2_evict_inode". A call to
     flush_delayed_work was deleted from *gfs2_inode_lookup and added to
     gfs2_create_inode.

   - Wang Xibo found and fixed a list_add call in inode_go_lock that
     specified the parameters in the wrong order.

   - Coly Li submitted a patch to add the REQ_PRIO to some of GFS2's
     metadata reads that were accidentally missing them.

   - I submitted a 4-patch set to protect the glock gl_object field.
     GFS2 was setting and checking gl_object with no locking mechanism,
     so the value was occasionally stomped on, which caused file system
     corruption.

   - I submitted a small cleanup to function gfs2_clear_rgrpd. It was
     needlessly adding rgrp glocks to the lru list, then pulling them
     back off immediately. The rgrp glocks don't use the lru list
     anyway, so doing so was just a waste of time.

   - I submitted a patch that checks the GLOF_LRU flag on a glock before
     trying to remove it from the lru_list. This avoids a lot of
     unnecessary spin_lock contention.

   - I submitted a patch to delete GFS2's debugfs files only after we
     evict all the glocks. Before this patch, GFS2 would delete the
     debugfs files, and if unmount hung waiting for a glock, there was
     no way to debug the problem. Now, if a hang occurs during umount,
     we can examine the debugfs files to figure out why it's hung.

   - Andreas Gruenbacher submitted a patch to fix some trivial typos.

   - Andreas also submitted a five-part patch set to fix the
     longstanding hang involving the slab shrinker: dlm requires memory,
     calls the inode shrinker, which calls gfs2's evict, which calls
     back into DLM before it can evict an inode.

   - Abhi Das submitted a patch to forcibly flush the active items list
     to relieve memory pressure. This fixes a long-standing bug whereby
     GFS2 was getting hung permanently in balance_dirty_pages.

   - Thomas Tai submitted a patch to fix a slab corruption problem due
     to a residual pointer left in the lock_dlm lockstruct.

   - I submitted a patch to withdraw the file system if IO errors are
     encountered while writing to the journals or statfs system file
     which were previously not being sent back up. Before, some IO
     errors were sometimes not be detected for several hours, and at
     recovery time, the journal errors made journal replay impossible.

   - Andreas has a patch to fix an annoying format-truncation compiler
     warning so GFS2 compiles cleanly.

   - I have a patch that fixes a handful of sparse compiler warnings.

   - Andreas fixed up an useless gl_object warning caused by an earlier
     patch.

   - Arvind Yadav added a patch to properly constify our rhashtable
     params declare.

   - I added a patch to fix a regression caused by the non-recursive
     delete and truncate patch that caused file system blocks to not be
     properly freed.

   - Ernesto A. Fernández added a patch to fix a place where GFS2 would
     send back the wrong return code setting extended attributes.

   - Ernesto also added a patch to fix a case in which GFS2 was
     improperly setting an inode's i_mode, potentially granting access
     to the wrong users"

When changing a file's acl mask, __gfs2_set_acl() will first set the
group bits of i_mode to the value of the mask, and only then set the
actual extended attribute representing the new acl.

If the second part fails (due to lack of space, for example) and the
file had no acl attribute to begin with, the system will from now on
assume that the mask permission bits are actual group permission bits,
potentially granting access to the wrong users.

Prevent this by only changing the inode mode after the acl has been set.

The function __gfs2_xattr_set() will return -ENODATA when called to
remove a xattr that does not exist. The result is that setfacl will
show an exit status of 1 when called to set only a file's mode bits
(on a file with no ACLs), despite succeeding. A "No data available"
error will be printed as well.

To fix this return 0 instead, except when the XATTR_REPLACE flag is
set, in which case -ENODATA is appropriate. This is consistent with
how most other xattr setting functions work, in other filesystems.

Before this patch if you truncated a file to a smaller size it
wasn't freeing all the blocks properly. There are two reasons.

First, the metapath comparison was not comparing previous heights.
I added a function, mp_eq_to_hgt, which checks the metapath at
all heights prior to the target height.

Second, in function find_nonnull_ptr, it needed to zero out all
pointers for heights following the target height. Translated into
decimal integer terms, this way a number like 299, when incremented,
becomes 300, not 399. The 2 gets incremented to 3, and the following
digits need to be reset.

These two things allow the truncate state machine to properly find
the blocks it needs to delete.
