[ Upstream commit ae62ca7b03217be5e74759dc6d7698c95df498b3 ]

commit 35f9c09fe9c72e (tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once)
added an internal flag : MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST meant to be set on all
frags but the last one for a splice() call.

The condition used to set the flag in pipe_to_sendpage() relied on
splice() user passing the exact number of bytes present in the pipe,
or a smaller one.

But some programs pass an arbitrary high value, and the test fails.

The effect of this bug is a lack of tcp_push() at the end of a
splice(pipe -&gt; socket) call, and possibly very slow or erratic TCP
sessions.

We should both test sd-&gt;total_len and fact that another fragment
is in the pipe (pipe-&gt;nrbufs &gt; 1)

Many thanks to Willy for providing very clear bug report, bisection
and test programs.

commit 047fe3605235888f3ebcda0c728cb31937eadfe6 upstream.

Dave Jones reported a kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3474! triggered
by splice_shrink_spd() called from vmsplice_to_pipe()

commit 35f3d14dbbc5 (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes)
added capability to adjust pipe-&gt;buffers.

Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe-&gt;buffers
doesn't change for their duration.

Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and
use it in place of pipe-&gt;buffers where appropriate.

splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.

commit 2f533844242 (tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packets) added
a regression for splice() calls using SPLICE_F_MORE.

We need to call tcp_flush() at the end of the last page processed in
tcp_sendpages(), or else transmits can be deferred and future sends
stall.

Add a new internal flag, MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, acting like MSG_MORE, but
with different semantic.

For all sendpage() providers, its a transparent change. Only
sock_sendpage() and tcp_sendpages() can differentiate the two different
flags provided by pipe_to_sendpage()

Pull cleanup of fs/ and lib/ users of module.h from Paul Gortmaker:
 "Fix up files in fs/ and lib/ dirs to only use module.h if they really
  need it.

  These are trivial in scope vs the work done previously.  We now have
  things where any few remaining cleanups can be farmed out to arch or
  subsystem maintainers, and I have done so when possible.  What is
  remaining here represents the bits that don't clearly lie within a
  single arch/subsystem boundary, like the fs dir and the lib dir.

  Some duplicate includes arising from overlapping fixes from
  independent subsystem maintainer submissions are also quashed."

Fix up trivial conflicts due to clashes with other include file cleanups
(including some due to the previous bug.h cleanup pull).

* tag 'module-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:
  lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible
  fs: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible

Move invalidate_bdev, block_sync_page into fs/block_dev.c.  Export
kill_bdev as well, so brd doesn't have to open code it.  Reduce
buffer_head.h requirement accordingly.

Removed a rather large comment from invalidate_bdev, as it looked a bit
obsolete to bother moving.  The small comment replacing it says enough.
