Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2016-01-23T20:24:56+00:00

Pull final vfs updates from Al Viro:

 - The ->i_mutex wrappers (with small prereq in lustre)

 - a fix for too early freeing of symlink bodies on shmem (they need to
   be RCU-delayed) (-stable fodder)

 - followup to dedupe stuff merged this cycle

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  vfs: abort dedupe loop if fatal signals are pending
  make sure that freeing shmem fast symlinks is RCU-delayed
  wrappers for ->i_mutex access
  lustre: remove unused declaration

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

2016-01-23T01:02:18+00:00

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.

wrappers for ->i_mutex access

2016-01-22T23:04:28+00:00

parallel to mutex_{lock,unlock,trylock,is_locked,lock_nested},
inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex).

Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle
->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held
only shared.

kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcg

2016-01-15T00:00:49+00:00

Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from
userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to
memcg.  For the list, see below:

 - threadinfo
 - task_struct
 - task_delay_info
 - pid
 - cred
 - mm_struct
 - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
 - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
 - signal_struct
 - sighand_struct
 - fs_struct
 - files_struct
 - fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
 - dentry and external_name
 - inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
   most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.

The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds.  Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).

Pull MTD updates from Brian Norris:
 "Generic MTD:

   - populate the MTD device 'of_node' field (and get a proper 'of_node'
     symlink in sysfs)

     This yielded some new helper functions, and changes across a
     variety of drivers

   - partitioning cleanups, to prepare for better device-tree based
     partitioning in the future

     Eliminate a lot of boilerplate for drivers that want to use
     OF-based partition parsing

     The DT bindings for this didn't settle yet, so most non-cleanup
     portions are deferred for a future release

  NAND:

   - embed a struct mtd_info inside struct nand_chip

     This is really long overdue; too many drivers have to do the same
     silly boilerplate to allocate and link up two "independent"
     structs, when in fact, everyone is assuming there is an exact 1:1
     relationship between a NAND chips struct and its underlying MTD.
     This aids improved helpers and should make certain abstractions
     easier in the future.

     Also causes a lot of churn, helped along by some automated code
     transformations

   - add more core support for detecting (and "correcting") bitflips in
     erased pages; requires opt-in by drivers, but at least we kill a
     few bad implementations and hopefully stave off future ones

   - pxa3xx_nand: cleanups, a few fixes, and PM improvements

   - new JZ4780 NAND driver

  SPI NOR:

   - provide default erase function, for controllers that just want to
     send the SECTOR_ERASE command directly

   - fix some module auto-loading issues with device tree
     ("jedec,spi-nor")

   - error handling fixes

   - new Mediatek QSPI flash driver

  Other:

   - cfi: force valid geometry Kconfig (finally!)

     This one used to trip up randconfigs occasionally, since bots
     aren't deterred by big scary "advanced configuration" menus

  More? Probably. See the commit logs"

xattr handlers: Simplify list operation

2015-12-14T00:46:12+00:00

Change the list operation to only return whether or not an attribute
should be listed.  Copying the attribute names into the buffer is moved
to the callers.

Since the result only depends on the dentry and not on the attribute
name, we do not pass the attribute name to list operations.

replace ->follow_link() with new method that could stay in RCU mode

2015-12-09T03:41:54+00:00

new method: ->get_link(); replacement of ->follow_link().  The differences
are:
	* inode and dentry are passed separately
	* might be called both in RCU and non-RCU mode;
the former is indicated by passing it a NULL dentry.
	* when called that way it isn't allowed to block
and should return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD) if it needs to be called
in non-RCU mode.

It's a flagday change - the old method is gone, all in-tree instances
converted.  Conversion isn't hard; said that, so far very few instances
do not immediately bail out when called in RCU mode.  That'll change
in the next commits.

vfs: Distinguish between full xattr names and proper prefixes

2015-12-07T02:33:52+00:00

Add an additional "name" field to struct xattr_handler.  When the name
is set, the handler matches attributes with exactly that name.  When the
prefix is set instead, the handler matches attributes with the given
prefix and with a non-empty suffix.

This patch should avoid bugs like the one fixed in commit c361016a in
the future.
