with the feature bits set.
- numerous fixes for speculative preallocation
- don't verify buffers on IO errors
- rename of random32 to prandom32
- refactoring/rearrangement in xfs_bmap.c
- removal of unused m_inode_shrink in struct xfs_mount

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc
Pull powerpc update from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
"The main highlights this time around are:
- A pile of addition POWER8 bits and nits, such as updated
performance counter support (Michael Ellerman), new branch history
buffer support (Anshuman Khandual), base support for the new PCI
host bridge when not using the hypervisor (Gavin Shan) and other
random related bits and fixes from various contributors.
- Some rework of our page table format by Aneesh Kumar which fixes a
thing or two and paves the way for THP support. THP itself will
not make it this time around however.
- More Freescale updates, including Altivec support on the new e6500
cores, new PCI controller support, and a pile of new boards support
and updates.

Pull x86/efi changes from Peter Anvin:
"The bulk of these changes are cleaning up the efivars handling and
breaking it up into a tree of files. There are a number of fixes as
well.
The entire changeset is pretty big, but most of it is code movement.
Several of these commits are quite new; the history got very messed up
due to a mismerge with the urgent changes for rc8 which completely
broke IA64, and so Ingo requested that we rebase it to straighten it
out."

Don't access the proc_dir_entry in ReiserFS's r_open(), r_start() r_show()
procfs interface functions.
ReiserFS stores the ->show() method pointer in PDE->data and the super_block
pointer in PDE->parent->data. This isn't changing.
Currently, ReiserFS passes the PDE pointer into seq_file::private from
r_open() so that r_start() and r_show() can then access it. Instead, use
seq_open_private() to allocate a two-pointer struct that's passed through
seq_file::private and put the ->show() method and the sb pointers in there.

Supply an accessor function for getting the private data from the parent
proc_dir_entry struct of the proc_dir_entry struct associated with an inode.
ReiserFS, for instance, stores the super_block pointer in the proc directory
it makes for that super_block, and a pointer to the respective seq_file show
function in each of the proc files in that directory.
This allows a reduction in the number of file_operations structs, open
functions and seq_operations structs required. The problem otherwise is that
each show function requires two pieces of data but only has storage for one
per PDE (and this has no release function).

threadgroup_lock() takes signal->cred_guard_mutex to ensure that
thread_group_leader() is stable. This doesn't look nice, the scope of
this lock in do_execve() is huge.
And as Dave pointed out this can lead to deadlock, we have the
following dependencies:
do_execve: cred_guard_mutex -> i_mutex
cgroup_mount: i_mutex -> cgroup_mutex
attach_task_by_pid: cgroup_mutex -> cred_guard_mutex
Change de_thread() to take threadgroup_change_begin() around the
switch-the-leader code and change threadgroup_lock() to avoid
->cred_guard_mutex.
Note that de_thread() can't sleep with ->group_rwsem held, this can
obviously deadlock with the exiting leader if the writer is active, so it
does threadgroup_change_end() before schedule().

set_task_comm() does memset() + wmb() before strlcpy(). This buys
nothing and to add to the confusion, the comment is wrong.
- We do not need memset() to be "safe from non-terminating string
reads", the final char is always zero and we never change it.
- wmb() is paired with nothing, it cannot prevent from printing
the mixture of the old/new data unless the reader takes the lock.

Currently, a write to a procfs file will return the number of bytes
successfully written. If the actual string is longer than this, the
remainder of the string will not be be written and userspace will
complete the operation by issuing additional write()s.
Hence
$ echo -n "abcdefghijklmnopqrs" > /proc/self/comm
results in
$ cat /proc/$$/comm

since the final four bytes were written with a second write() since
TASK_COMM_LEN == 16. This is obviously an undesired result and not
equivalent to prctl(PR_SET_NAME). The implementation should not need to
know the definition of TASK_COMM_LEN.
This patch truncates the string to the first TASK_COMM_LEN bytes and
returns the bytes written as the length of the string written so the
second write() is suppressed.

wait_for_dump_helpers() calls wake_up/kill_fasync from inside the
wait_event-like loop. This is not needed and in fact this is not
strictly correct, we can/should do this only once after we change
pipe->writers. We could even check if it becomes zero.
Change this code to use use wait_event_interruptible(), this can also
help to make this wait freezable.
With this patch we check pipe->readers without pipe_lock(), this is
fine. Once we see pipe->readers == 1 we know that the handler
decremented the counter, this is all we need.

By discussion with Mandeep.
Change dump_write(), dump_seek() and do_coredump() to check
signal_pending() and abort if it is true. dump_seek() does this only
before f_op->llseek(), otherwise it relies on dump_write().
We need this change to ensure that the coredump won't delay suspend, and
to ensure it reacts to SIGKILL "quickly enough", a core dump can take a
lot of time. In particular this can help oom-killer.
We add the new trivial helper, dump_interrupted() to add the comments and
to simplify the potential freezer changes. Perhaps it will have more
callers.
Ideally it should do try_to_freeze() but then we need the unpleasant
changes in dump_write() and wait_for_dump_helpers(). It is not trivial to
change dump_write() to restart if f_op->write() fails because of
freezing(). We need to handle the short writes, we need to clear
TIF_SIGPENDING (and we can't rely on recalc_sigpending() unless we change
it to check PF_DUMPCORE). And if the buggy f_op->write() sets
TIF_SIGPENDING we can not distinguish this case from the race with
freeze_task() + __thaw_task().
So we simply accept the fact that the freezer can truncate a core-dump but
at least you can reliably suspend. Hopefully we can tolerate this
unlikely case and the necessary complications doesn't worth a trouble.
But if we decide to make the coredumping freezable later we can do this on
top of this change.

Now that the coredumping process can be SIGKILL'ed, the setting of
->group_exit_code in do_coredump() can race with complete_signal() and
SIGKILL or 0x80 can be "lost", or wait(status) can report status ==
SIGKILL | 0x80.
But the main problem is that it is not clear to me what should we do if
binfmt->core_dump() succeeds but SIGKILL was sent, that is why this patch
comes as a separate change.
This patch adds 0x80 if ->core_dump() succeeds and the process was not
killed. But perhaps we can (should?) re-set ->group_exit_code changed by
SIGKILL back to "siginfo->si_signo |= 0x80" in case when core_dumped == T.

prepare_signal() blesses SIGKILL sent to the dumping process but this
signal can be "lost" anyway. The problems is, complete_signal() sees
SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and skips the "kill them all" logic. And even if the
dumping process is single-threaded (so the target is always "correct"),
the group-wide SIGKILL is not recorded in task->pending and thus
__fatal_signal_pending() won't be true. A multi-threaded case has even
more problems.
And even ignoring all technical details, SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT doesn't look
right to me. This coredumping process is not exiting yet, it can do a lot
of work dumping the core.
With this patch the dumping process doesn't have SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, we set
signal->group_exit_task instead. This makes signal_group_exit() true and
thus this should equally close the races with exit/exec/stop but allows to
kill the dumping thread reliably.
Notes:
- It is not clear what should we do with ->group_exit_code
if the dumper was killed, see the next change.
- we need more (hopefully straightforward) changes to ensure
that SIGKILL actually interrupts the coredump. Basically we
need to check __fatal_signal_pending() in dump_write() and
dump_seek().

There are 2 well known and ancient problems with coredump/signals, and a
lot of related bug reports:
- do_coredump() clears TIF_SIGPENDING but of course this can't help
if, say, SIGCHLD comes after that.
In this case the coredump can fail unexpectedly. See for example
wait_for_dump_helper()->signal_pending() check but there are other
reasons.
- At the same time, dumping a huge core on the slow media can take a
lot of time/resources and there is no way to kill the coredumping
task reliably. In particular this is not oom_kill-friendly.
This patch tries to fix the 1st problem, and makes the preparation for the
next changes.
We add the new SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP flag set by zap_threads() to indicate
that this process dumps the core. prepare_signal() checks this flag and
nacks any signal except SIGKILL.
Note that this check tries to be conservative, in the long term we should
probably treat the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT case equally but this needs more
discussion. See marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120508897917439
Notes:
- recalc_sigpending() doesn't check SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP.
The patch assumes that dump_write/etc paths should never
call it, but we can change it as well.
- There is another source of TIF_SIGPENDING, freezer. This
will be addressed separately.

These are the only users of call_usermodehelper_fns(). This function
suffers from not being able to determine if the cleanup is called. Even
if in this places the cleanup pointer is NULL, convert them to use the
separate call_usermodehelper_setup() + call_usermodehelper_exec()
functions so we can remove the _fns variant.

of driver's internal error or metadata corruption
The NILFS2 driver remounts itself in RO mode in the case of discovering
metadata corruption (for example, discovering a broken bmap). But
usually, this takes place when there have been file system operations
before remounting in RO mode.
Thereby, NILFS2 driver can be in RO mode with presence of dirty pages in
modified inodes' address spaces. It results in flush kernel thread's
infinite trying to flush dirty pages in RO mode. As a result, it is
possible to see such side effects as: (1) flush kernel thread occupies
50% - 99% of CPU time; (2) system can't be shutdowned without manual
power switch off.
SYMPTOMS:
(1) System log contains error message: "Remounting filesystem read-only".
(2) The flush kernel thread occupies 50% - 99% of CPU time.
(3) The system can't be shutdowned without manual power switch off.
REPRODUCTION PATH:
(1) Create volume group with name "unencrypted" by means of vgcreate utility.
(2) Run script (prepared by Anthony Doggett <Anthony2486@interfaces.org.uk>):
----------------[BEGIN SCRIPT]--------------------
#!/bin/bash
VG=unencrypted
#apt-get install nilfs-tools darcs
lvcreate --size 2G --name ntest $VG
mkfs.nilfs2 -b 1024 -B 8192 /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest
mkdir /var/tmp/n
mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest
mount /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest /var/tmp/n/ntest
mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir
cd /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir
sleep 2
date
darcs init
sleep 2
dmesg|tail -n 5
date
darcs whatsnew || true
date
sleep 2
dmesg|tail -n 5
----------------[END SCRIPT]--------------------
(3) Try to shutdown the system.
REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
FIX:
This patch implements checking mount state of NILFS2 driver in
nilfs_writepage(), nilfs_writepages() and nilfs_mdt_write_page()
methods. If it is detected the RO mount state then all dirty pages are
simply discarded with warning messages is written in system log.
