<title>signals: jffs2: fix the wrong usage of disallow_signal()</title>

<content type='text'>
jffs2_garbage_collect_thread() does disallow_signal(SIGHUP) around
jffs2_garbage_collect_pass() and the comment says "We don't want SIGHUP
to interrupt us".

But disallow_signal() can't ensure that jffs2_garbage_collect_pass()
won't be interrupted by SIGHUP, the problem is that SIGHUP can be
already pending when disallow_signal() is called, and in this case any
interruptible sleep won't block.

Note: this is in fact because disallow_signal() is buggy and should be
fixed, see the next changes.

But there is another reason why disallow_signal() is wrong: SIG_IGN set
by disallow_signal() silently discards any SIGHUP which can be sent
before the next allow_signal(SIGHUP).

Change this code to use sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK/SIG_BLOCK, SIGHUP).
This even matches the old (and wrong) semantics allow/disallow had when
this logic was written.

<title>mm: remove read_cache_page_async()</title>

<id>67f9fd91f93c582b7de2ab9325b6e179db77e4d5</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch removes read_cache_page_async() which wasn't really needed
anywhere and simplifies the code around it a bit.

read_cache_page_async() is useful when we want to read a page into the
cache without waiting for it to complete.  This happens when the
appropriate callback 'filler' doesn't complete its read operation and
releases the page lock immediately, and instead queues a different
completion routine to do that.  This never actually happened anywhere in
the code.

read_cache_page_async() had 3 different callers:

- read_cache_page() which is the sync version, it would just wait for
  the requested read to complete using wait_on_page_read().

- JFFS2 would call it from jffs2_gc_fetch_page(), but the filler
  function it supplied doesn't do any async reads, and would complete
  before the filler function returns - making it actually a sync read.

- CRAMFS would call it using the read_mapping_page_async() wrapper, with
  a similar story to JFFS2 - the filler function doesn't do anything that
  reminds async reads and would always complete before the filler function
  returns.

To sum it up, the code in mm/filemap.c never took advantage of having
read_cache_page_async().  While there are filler callbacks that do async
reads (such as the block one), we always called it with the
read_cache_page().

This patch adds a mandatory wait for read to complete when adding a new
page to the cache, and removes read_cache_page_async() and its wrappers.

<title>mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache</title>

<id>91b0abe36a7b2b3b02d7500925a5f8455334f0e5</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

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.

<title>fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()</title>

Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the
file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied,
unconditional syncfs().  This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly
documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful,
except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting
remounted read-only.

However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are
actually depending on this behavior.  In most file systems, it's
probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from
read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is
not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something
like romfs).

The variable csize in structure jffs2_tmp_dnode_info is of type uint16_t, but it
is used to hold the compressed data length(csize) which is declared as uint32_t.
So, when the value of csize exceeds 16bits, it gets truncated when assigned to
tn-&gt;csize. This is causing a kernel BUG.
Changing the definition of csize in jffs2_tmp_dnode_info to uint32_t fixes the issue.
