The xattr_handler operations are currently all passed a file system
specific flags value which the operations can use to disambiguate between
different handlers; some file systems use that to distinguish the xattr
namespace, for example. In some oprations, it would be useful to also have
access to the handler prefix. To allow that, pass a pointer to the handler
to operations instead of the flags value alone.

The vfs checks if a task has the appropriate access for get and set
operations, but it cannot do that for the list operation; the file system
must check for that itself.

Ubifs installs a security xattr handler in sb->s_xattr but doesn't use the
generic_{get,set,list,remove}xattr inode operations needed for processing
this list of attribute handlers; the handler is never called. Instead,
ubifs uses its own xattr handlers which also process security xattrs.
Remove the dead code.

When a filesystem that contains POSIX ACLs is mounted without ACL support
(-o noacl), the appropriate behavior is not to list any existing POSIX ACL
xattrs. The return value for list xattr handlers in this case is 0, not an
error code: several filesystems that use the POSIX ACL xattr handlers do
not expect the list operation to fail.
Symlinks cannot have ACLs, so posix_acl_xattr_list will never be called for
symlinks in the first place.

The get and set operations of the POSIX ACL xattr handlers failed to check

"system.posix_acl_default" as a prefix were accepted. Reject invalid names

The big warning comment that is currently at the end of struct
inode_operations was added as part of this commit:
4aa7c6346be3 ("vfs: add i_op->dentry_open()")
It was added to warn people not to use the newly added 'dentry_open'
function pointer.
This function pointer was removed as part of this commit:

f_inode to the underlay")
The comment was left behind and now refers to nothing, so remove it.

The function currently called "__block_page_mkwrite()" used to be called
"block_page_mkwrite()" until a wrapper for this function was added by:
commit 24da4fab5a61 ("vfs: Create __block_page_mkwrite() helper passing
error values back")
This wrapper, the current "block_page_mkwrite()", is currently unused.
__block_page_mkwrite() is used directly by ext4, nilfs2 and xfs.
Remove the unused wrapper, rename __block_page_mkwrite() back to
block_page_mkwrite() and update the comment above block_page_mkwrite().

pipe_write() would return 0 if it failed to merge the beginning of the
data to write with the last, partially filled pipe buffer. It should
return an error code instead. Userspace programs could be confused by
write() returning 0 when called with a nonzero 'count'.
The EFAULT error case was a regression from f0d1bec9d5 ("new helper:
copy_page_from_iter()"), while the ops->confirm() error case was a much
older bug.
Test program:
#include <assert.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void)
{
int fd[2];
char data[1] = {0};
assert(0 == pipe(fd));
assert(1 == write(fd[1], data, 1));
/* prior to this patch, write() returned 0 here */
assert(-1 == write(fd[1], NULL, 1));
assert(errno == EFAULT);
}

If sys_pipe() was unable to allocate a 'struct file', it always failed
with ENFILE, which means "The number of simultaneously open files in the
system would exceed a system-imposed limit." However, alloc_file()
actually returns an ERR_PTR value and might fail with other error codes.
Currently, in addition to ENFILE, it can fail with ENOMEM, potentially
when there are few open files in the system. Update sys_pipe() to
preserve this error code.
In a prior submission of a similar patch (1) some concern was raised
about introducing a new error code for sys_pipe(). However, for most
system calls, programs cannot assume that new error codes will never be
introduced. In addition, ENOMEM was, in fact, already a possible error
code for sys_pipe(), in the case where the file descriptor table could
not be expanded due to insufficient memory.

Do not clobber the buffer space passed from `search_binary_handler' and
originally preloaded by `prepare_binprm' with the executable's file
header by overwriting it with its interpreter's file header. Instead
keep the buffer space intact and directly use the data structure locally
allocated for the interpreter's file header, fixing a bug introduced in
2.1.14 with loadable module support (linux-mips.org commit beb11695
[Import of Linux/MIPS 2.1.14], predating kernel.org repo's history).
Adjust the amount of data read from the interpreter's file accordingly.
This was not an issue before loadable module support, because back then
`load_elf_binary' was executed only once for a given ELF executable,
whether the function succeeded or failed.
With loadable module support supported and enabled, upon a failure of
`load_elf_binary' -- which may for example be caused by architecture
code rejecting an executable due to a missing hardware feature requested
in the file header -- a module load is attempted and then the function
reexecuted by `search_binary_handler'. With the executable's file
header replaced with its interpreter's file header the executable can
then be erroneously accepted in this subsequent attempt.

Handle a write being requested to the page immediately beyond the EOF
marker on a cache object. Currently this gets an assertion failure in
CacheFiles because the EOF marker is used there to encode information about
a partial page at the EOF - which could lead to an unknown blank spot in
the file if we extend the file over it.
The problem is actually in fscache where we check the index of the page
being written against store_limit. store_limit is set to the number of
pages that we're allowed to store by fscache_set_store_limit() - which
means it's one more than the index of the last page we're allowed to store.
The problem is that we permit writing to a page with an index _equal_ to
the store limit - when we should reject that case.
Whilst we're at it, change the triggered assertion in CacheFiles to just
return -ENOBUFS instead.
The assertion failure looks something like this:
CacheFiles: Assertion failed
1000 < 7b1 is false

In debugfs' start_creating(), we pin the file system to safely access
its root. When we failed to create a file, we unpin the file system via
failed_creating() to release the mount count and eventually the reference
of the vfsmount.
However, when we run into an error during lookup_one_len() when still
in start_creating(), we only release the parent's mutex but not so the
reference on the mount. Looks like it was done in the past, but after
splitting portions of __create_file() into start_creating() and
end_creating() via 190afd81e4a5 ("debugfs: split the beginning and the
end of __create_file() off"), this seemed missed. Noticed during code
review.

d0edd8528362 ("ipc: convert invalid scenarios to use WARN_ON") relaxed the
nil dst parameter check, originally being a full BUG_ON. However, this
check seems quite unnecessary when the only purpose is for
ceckpoint/restore (MSG_COPY flag):
o The copy variable is set initially to nil, apparently as a way of
ensuring that prepare_copy is previously called. Which is in fact done,
unconditionally at the beginning of do_msgrcv.
o There is no concurrency with 'copy' (stack allocated in do_msgrcv).
Furthermore, any errors in 'copy' (and thus prepare_copy/copy_msg) should
always handled by IS_ERR() family. Therefore remove this check altogether
as it can never occur with the current users.

In some cases we may end up killing the CPU holding the console lock
while still having valuable data in logbuf. E.g. I'm observing the
following:
- A crash is happening on one CPU and console_unlock() is being called on
some other.
- console_unlock() tries to print out the buffer before releasing the lock
and on slow console it takes time.
- in the meanwhile crashing CPU does lots of printk()-s with valuable data
(which go to the logbuf) and sends IPIs to all other CPUs.
- console_unlock() finishes printing previous chunk and enables interrupts
before trying to print out the rest, the CPU catches the IPI and never
releases console lock.
This is not the only possible case: in VT/fb subsystems we have many other
console_lock()/console_unlock() users. Non-masked interrupts (or
receiving NMI in case of extreme slowness) will have the same result.
Getting the whole console buffer printed out on crash should be top
priority.

Many DMA controllers and other devices set max_segment_size to
indicate their scatter-gather capability, but have no interest in
segment_boundary_mask. However, the existence of a dma_parms structure
precludes the use of any default value, leaving them as zeros (assuming
a properly kzalloc'ed structure). If a well-behaved IOMMU (or SWIOTLB)
then tries to respect this by ensuring a mapped segment does not cross
a zero-byte boundary, hilarity ensues.
Since zero is a nonsensical value for either parameter, treat it as an
indicator for "default", as might be expected. In the process, clean up
a bit by replacing the bare constants with slightly more meaningful
macros and removing the superfluous "else" statements.

Since 5cec38ac866b ("fs, seq_file: fallback to vmalloc instead of oom kill
processes") seq_buf_alloc() avoids calling the oom killer for PAGE_SIZE or
smaller allocations; but larger allocations can use the oom killer via
vmalloc(). Thus reads of small files can return ENOMEM, but larger files
use the oom killer to avoid ENOMEM.
The effect of this bug is that reads from /proc and other virtual
filesystems can return ENOMEM instead of the preferred behavior - oom
killing something (possibly the calling process). I don't know of anyone
except Google who has noticed the issue.
I suspect the fix is more needed in smaller systems where there isn't any
reclaimable memory. But these seem like the kinds of systems which
probably don't use the oom killer for production situations.
Memory overcommit requires use of the oom killer to select a victim
regardless of file size.
Enable oom killer for small seq_buf_alloc() allocations.

task_will_free_mem() is wrong in many ways, and in particular the
SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP check is not reliable: a task can participate in the
coredumping without SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP bit set.
change zap_threads() paths to always set SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP even if
other CLONE_VM processes can't react to SIGKILL. Fortunately, at least
oom-kill case if fine; it kills all tasks sharing the same mm, so it
should also kill the process which actually dumps the core.
The change in prepare_signal() is not strictly necessary, it just ensures
that the patch does not bring another subtle behavioural change. But it
reminds us that this SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT/COREDUMP case needs more changes.

1. Rename dequeue_signal_lock() to kernel_dequeue_signal(). This
matches another "for kthreads only" kernel_sigaction() helper.
2. Remove the "tsk" and "mask" arguments, they are always current
and current->blocked. And it is simply wrong if tsk != current.
3. We could also remove the 3rd "siginfo_t *info" arg but it looks
potentially useful. However we can simplify the callers if we
change kernel_dequeue_signal() to accept info => NULL.
4. Remove _irqsave, it is never called from atomic context.

It is hardly possible to enumerate all problems with block_all_signals()
and unblock_all_signals(). Just for example,
1. block_all_signals(SIGSTOP/etc) simply can't help if the caller is
multithreaded. Another thread can dequeue the signal and force the
group stop.
2. Even is the caller is single-threaded, it will "stop" anyway. It
will not sleep, but it will spin in kernel space until SIGCONT or
SIGKILL.
And a lot more. In short, this interface doesn't work at all, at least
the last 10+ years.

This patch adds a tracepoint for transaction events of nilfs. With the
tracepoint, these events can be tracked: begin, abort, commit, trylock,
lock, and unlock. Basically, these events have corresponding functions
e.g. begin event corresponds nilfs_transaction_begin(). The unlock event
is an exception. It corresponds to the iteration in
nilfs_transaction_lock().
Only one tracepoint is introcued: nilfs2_transaction_transition. The
above events are distinguished with newly introduced enum. With this
tracepoint, we can analyse a critical section of segment constructoin.
Sample output by tpoint of perf-tools:
cp-4457 [000] ...1 63.266220: nilfs2_transaction_transition: sb = ffff8802112b8800 ti = ffff8800bf5ccc58 count = 1 flags = 9 state = BEGIN

This patch adds a tracepoint for tracking stage transition of block
collection in segment construction. With the tracepoint, we can analysis
the behavior of segment construction in depth. It would be useful for
bottleneck detection and debugging, etc.
The tracepoint is created with the standard trace API of linux (like ext3,
ext4, f2fs and btrfs). So we can analysis with existing tools easily. Of
course, more detailed analysis will be possible if we can create nilfs
specific analysis tools.
Below is an example of event dump with Brendan Gregg's perf-tools
(https://github.com/brendangregg/perf-tools). Time consumption between
each stage can be obtained.

segctord-14875 [003] ...1 28311.068574: nilfs2_collection_stage_transition: sci = ffff8800ce6de000 stage = ST_DONE
For capturing transition correctly, this patch adds wrappers for the
member scnt of nilfs_cstage. With this change, every transition of the
stage can produce trace event in a correct manner.

As a nilfs2 volume ages, the amount of available disk space decreases
little by little due to bloat of DAT (disk address translation) metadata
file. Even if we delete all files in a file system and free their block
addresses from the DAT file through a garbage collection, empty DAT blocks
are not freed.
This fixes the issue by extending the deallocator of block addresses so
that empty data blocks and empty bitmap blocks of DAT are deleted.
The following comparison shows the effect of this patch. Each shows disk
amount information of a nilfs2 volume that we cleaned out by deleting all
files and running gc after having filled 90% of its capacity.
