commit 666b3d803a511fbc9bc5e5ea8ce66010cf03ea13 upstream.

Currently, nlmclnt_lock will break out of the for(;;) loop when
the reclaimer wakes up the blocking lock thread by setting
nlm_lck_denied_grace_period. This causes the lock request to fail
with an ENOLCK error.
The intention was always to ensure that we resend the lock request
after the grace period has expired.

commit 5a12cca697aca5dfba42a7d4c3356acc0445a2b0 upstream.

now pnfs client uses block layout, maybe we can remove
blocklayoutdriver first. if we umount later,
it can cause oops in unset_pnfs_layoutdriver.
because nfss-&gt;pnfs_curr_ld-&gt;clear_layoutdriver is invalid.

reproduce it:
 modprobe  blocklayoutdriver
 mount -t nfs4 -o minorversion=1 pnfsip:/ /mnt/
 rmmod blocklayoutdriver
 umount /mnt

then you can see following

commit 3278bb748d2437eb1464765f36429e5d6aa91c38 upstream.

If lockres refresh failed, the super lock will never be released which
will cause some processes on other cluster nodes hung forever.

<title>fs/block_dev.c: page cache wrongly left invalidated after revalidate_disk()</title>

<id>9fd4e539ed0737be165fc633063885a477ac556a</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 7630b661da330b35dd57b6f5d6d62b386f2dd751 upstream.

We found that bdev-&gt;bd_invalidated was left set once revalidate_disk()
is called, which results in page cache flush every time that device is
open.

Specifically, we found this problem in MD block device.  Once we resize
a MD device, mdadm --monitor periodically flush all page cache for that
device every 60 or 1000 seconds when it opens the device.

This bug lies since at least 3.2.0 till the latest kernel(3.6.2).  Patch
is attached.

The following steps will reproduce the problem.

1. prepair a block device (eg /dev/sdb).

2. create two partitions:

   sudo parted /dev/sdb
   mklabel gpt
   mkpart primary 0% 50%
   mkpart primary 50% 100%

3. create a md device.

   sudo mdadm -C /dev/md/hoge -l 1 -n 2 -e 1.2 --assume-clean --auto=md --symlink=no /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2

4. create file system and mount it

   sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/md/hoge
   sudo mkdir /mnt/test
   sudo mount /dev/md/hoge /mnt/test

5. try to resize the device

   sudo mdadm -G /dev/md/hoge --size=max

6. create a file to fill file cache.

  sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/test/data bs=1M count=10

and verify the current status of file by free command.

7. mdadm monitor will open the md device every 1000 seconds and you
   will find all file cache on the device are cleared.

The timing can be reduced by the following steps.

a) kill mdadm and restart it with --delay option

   /sbin/mdadm --monitor --delay=30 --pid-file /var/run/mdadm/monitor.pid --daemonise --scan --syslog

or open the md device directly.

   sudo dd if=/dev/md/hoge of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=1

<title>inotify: remove broken mask checks causing unmount to be EINVAL</title>

<id>0b7fba4034da2a6dd6ebb994ad9f592939a752cf</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 676a0675cf9200ac047fb50825f80867b3bb733b upstream.

Running the command:

	inotifywait -e unmount /mnt/disk

immediately aborts with a -EINVAL return code.  This is however a valid
parameter.  This abort occurs only if unmount is the sole event
parameter.  If other event parameters are supplied, then the unmount
event wait will work.

The problem was introduced by commit 44b350fc23e ("inotify: Fix mask
checks").  In that commit, it states:

	The mask checks in inotify_update_existing_watch() and
	inotify_new_watch() are useless because inotify_arg_to_mask()
	sets FS_IN_IGNORED and FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD bits anyway.

But instead of removing the useless checks, it did this:

	        mask = inotify_arg_to_mask(arg);
	-       if (unlikely(!mask))
	+       if (unlikely(!(mask &amp; IN_ALL_EVENTS)))
	                return -EINVAL;

The problem is that IN_ALL_EVENTS doesn't include IN_UNMOUNT, and other
parts of the code keep IN_UNMOUNT separate from IN_ALL_EVENTS.  So the
check should be:

	if (unlikely(!(mask &amp; (IN_ALL_EVENTS | IN_UNMOUNT))))

But inotify_arg_to_mask(arg) always sets the IN_UNMOUNT bit in the mask
anyway, so the check is always going to pass and thus should simply be
removed.  Also note that inotify_arg_to_mask completely controls what
mask bits get set from arg, there's no way for invalid bits to get
enabled there.

Lets fix it by simply removing the useless broken checks.

commit 676a0675cf9200ac047fb50825f80867b3bb733b upstream.

Running the command:

	inotifywait -e unmount /mnt/disk

immediately aborts with a -EINVAL return code.  This is however a valid
parameter.  This abort occurs only if unmount is the sole event
parameter.  If other event parameters are supplied, then the unmount
event wait will work.

The problem was introduced by commit 44b350fc23e ("inotify: Fix mask
checks").  In that commit, it states:

	The mask checks in inotify_update_existing_watch() and
	inotify_new_watch() are useless because inotify_arg_to_mask()
	sets FS_IN_IGNORED and FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD bits anyway.

But instead of removing the useless checks, it did this:

	        mask = inotify_arg_to_mask(arg);
	-       if (unlikely(!mask))
	+       if (unlikely(!(mask &amp; IN_ALL_EVENTS)))
	                return -EINVAL;

The problem is that IN_ALL_EVENTS doesn't include IN_UNMOUNT, and other
parts of the code keep IN_UNMOUNT separate from IN_ALL_EVENTS.  So the
check should be:

	if (unlikely(!(mask &amp; (IN_ALL_EVENTS | IN_UNMOUNT))))

But inotify_arg_to_mask(arg) always sets the IN_UNMOUNT bit in the mask
anyway, so the check is always going to pass and thus should simply be
removed.  Also note that inotify_arg_to_mask completely controls what
mask bits get set from arg, there's no way for invalid bits to get
enabled there.

Lets fix it by simply removing the useless broken checks.

<title>nilfs2: fix fix very long mount time issue</title>

commit a9bae189542e71f91e61a4428adf6e5a7dfe8063 upstream.

There exists a situation when GC can work in background alone without
any other filesystem activity during significant time.

The nilfs_clean_segments() method calls nilfs_segctor_construct() that
updates superblocks in the case of NILFS_SC_SUPER_ROOT and
THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flags are set.  But when GC is working alone the
nilfs_clean_segments() is called with unset THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flag.
As a result, the update of superblocks doesn't occurred all this time
and in the case of SPOR superblocks keep very old values of last super
root placement.

SYMPTOMS:

Trying to mount a NILFS2 volume after SPOR in such environment ends with
very long mounting time (it can achieve about several hours in some
cases).

REPRODUCING PATH:

1. It needs to use external USB HDD, disable automount and doesn't
   make any additional filesystem activity on the NILFS2 volume.

2. Generate temporary file with size about 100 - 500 GB (for example,
   dd if=/dev/zero of=&lt;file_name&gt; bs=1073741824 count=200).  The size of
   file defines duration of GC working.

3. Then it needs to delete file.

4. Start GC manually by means of command "nilfs-clean -p 0".  When you
   start GC by means of such way then, at the end, superblocks is updated
   by once.  So, for simulation of SPOR, it needs to wait sometime (15 -
   40 minutes) and simply switch off USB HDD manually.

5. Switch on USB HDD again and try to mount NILFS2 volume.  As a
   result, NILFS2 volume will mount during very long time.

REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%

FIX:

This patch adds checking that superblocks need to update and set
THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flag before nilfs_clean_segments() call.

<title>NFS: Don't silently fail setattr() requests on mountpoints</title>

commit ab225417825963b6dc66be7ea80f94ac1378dfdf upstream.

Ensure that any setattr and getattr requests for junctions and/or
mountpoints are sent to the server. Ever since commit
0ec26fd0698 (vfs: automount should ignore LOOKUP_FOLLOW), we have
silently dropped any setattr requests to a server-side mountpoint.
For referrals, we have silently dropped both getattr and setattr
requests.

This patch restores the original behaviour for setattr on mountpoints,
and tries to do the same for referrals, provided that we have a
filehandle...

<title>xfs: Fix possible use-after-free with AIO</title>

commit 4b05d09c18d9aa62d2e7fb4b057f54e5a38963f5 upstream.

Running AIO is pinning inode in memory using file reference. Once AIO
is completed using aio_complete(), file reference is put and inode can
be freed from memory. So we have to be sure that calling aio_complete()
is the last thing we do with the inode.

commit 10b8c7dff5d3633b69e77f57d404dab54ead3787 upstream.

When it goes to error through line 144, the memory allocated to *devname is
not freed, and the caller doesn't free it either in line 250. So we free the
memroy of *devname in function cifs_compose_mount_options() when it goes to
error.

ext4_da_block_invalidatepages is missing a pagevec_init(),
which means that pvec-&gt;cold contains random garbage.

This affects whether the page goes to the front or
