[ Upstream commit 5bdd0c6f89fba430e18d636493398389dadc3b17 ]

If jffs2_iget() fails for a newly-allocated inode, jffs2_do_clear_inode()
can get called twice in the error handling path, the first call in
jffs2_iget() itself and the second through iget_failed(). This can result
to a use-after-free error in the second jffs2_do_clear_inode() call, such
as shown by the oops below wherein the second jffs2_do_clear_inode() call
was trying to free node fragments that were already freed in the first
jffs2_do_clear_inode() call.

CURRENT_TIME_SEC is not y2038 safe. current_time() will
be transitioned to use 64 bit time along with vfs in a
separate patch.
There is no plan to transistion CURRENT_TIME_SEC to use
y2038 safe time interfaces.

current_time() will also be extended to use superblock
range checking parameters when range checking is introduced.

This works because alloc_super() fills in the the s_time_gran
in super block to NSEC_PER_SEC.

inode_change_ok() will be resposible for clearing capabilities and IMA
extended attributes and as such will need dentry. Give it as an argument
to inode_change_ok() instead of an inode. Also rename inode_change_ok()
to setattr_prepare() to better relect that it does also some
modifications in addition to checks.

<title>mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros</title>

<id>09cbfeaf1a5a67bfb3201e0c83c810cecb2efa5a</id>
<content type='text'>
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:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; 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.

<pre>
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:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; 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.

<title>tree wide: use kvfree() than conditional kfree()/vfree()</title>

There are many locations that do

  if (memory_was_allocated_by_vmalloc)
    vfree(ptr);
  else
    kfree(ptr);

but kvfree() can handle both kmalloc()ed memory and vmalloc()ed memory
using is_vmalloc_addr().  Unless callers have special reasons, we can
replace this branch with kvfree().  Please check and reply if you found
problems.

Pull MTD updates from Brian Norris:
 "JFFS2:
   - fix a theoretical unbalanced locking issue; the lock handling was a
     bit unclean, but AFAICT, it didn't actually lead to real deadlocks

  NAND:
   - brcmnand driver: new driver supporting NAND controller found
     originally on Broadcom STB SoCs (BCM7xxx), but now also found on
     BCM63xxx, iProc (e.g., Cygnus, BCM5301x), BCM3xxx, and more

   - begin factoring out BBT code so it can be shared between
     traditional (parallel) NAND drivers and upcoming SPI NAND drivers
     (WIP)

   - add common DT-based init support, so nand_base can pick up some
     flash properties automatically, using established common NAND DT
     properties

   - mxc_nand: support 8-bit ECC

   - pxa3xx_nand:
     * fix build for ARM64
     * use a jiffies-based timeout

  SPI NOR:
   - add a few new IDs

   - clear out some unnecessary entries

   - make sure SECT_4K flags are correct for all (?) entries

  Core:
   - fix mtd-&gt;usecount race conditions (BUG_ON())

   - switch to modern PM ops

  Other:
   - CFI: save code space by de-inlining large functions

   - clean up some partition parser selection code across several
     drivers

Li Zefan reported an unbalanced locking issue, found by his
internal debugging feature on runtime. The particular case he was
looking at doesn't lead to a deadlock, as the structure that this lock
is embedded in is freed on error. But we should straighten out the error
handling.

Because several callers of jffs2_do_read_inode_internal() /
jffs2_do_read_inode() already handle the locking/unlocking and inode
clearing at their own level, let's just push any unlocks/clearing down
to the caller. This consistency is much easier to verify.
