sysfs: use rb-tree for inode number lookup
This patch makes sysfs use red-black tree for inode number lookup.
Together with a previous patch to use red-black tree for name lookup,
this patch makes all sysfs lookups to have O(log n) complexity.

sysfs: remove s_sibling hacks
s_sibling was used for three different purposes:
1) as a linked list of entries in the directory
2) as a linked list of entries to be deleted
3) as a pointer to "struct completion"
This patch removes the hack and introduces new union u which
holds pointers for cases 2) and 3).
This change is needed for the following patch that removes s_sibling at all
and replaces it with a rb tree.

sysfs: count subdirectories
This patch introduces a subdirectory counter for each sysfs directory.
Without the patch, sysfs_refresh_inode would walk all entries of the directory
to calculate the number of subdirectories.
This patch improves time of "ls -la /sys/block" when there are 10000 block
devices from 9 seconds to 0.19 seconds.

This fixes a regression introduced by commit cdcb725c05fe ("Btrfs: check
if there is enough space for balancing smarter"). We can't do 64-bit
divides on 32-bit architectures.
In cases where we need to divide/multiply by 2 we should just left/right
shift respectively, and in cases where theres N number of devices use
do_div. Also make the counters u64 to match up with rw_devices.

There is a race between ext4 buffer write and direct_IO read with
dioread_nolock mount option enabled. The problem is that we clear
PageWriteback flag during end_io time but will do
uninitialized-to-initialized extent conversion later with dioread_nolock.
If an O_direct read request comes in during this period, ext4 will return
zero instead of the recently written data.
This patch checks whether there are any pending uninitialized-to-initialized
extent conversion requests before doing O_direct read to close the race.
Note that this is just a bandaid fix. The fundamental issue is that we
clear PageWriteback flag before we really complete an IO, which is
problem-prone. To fix the fundamental issue, we may need to implement an
extent tree cache that we can use to look up pending to-be-converted extents.

already has an extent. We don't set the new i_size properly because we see that
we already have an extent. This isn't right and we should update i_size if the

This patch tightens the read-only access checks in btrfs_permission to
match the constraints in inode_permission. Currently, even though the
device node itself will be unmodified, read-write access to device nodes
is denied to when the device node resides on a read-only subvolume or a
is a file that has been marked read-only by the btrfs conversion utility.
With this patch applied, the check only affects regular files,
directories, and symlinks. It also restructures the code a bit so that
we don't duplicate the MAY_WRITE check for both tests.

FAT16 support maximum 4GB vol/file size with 64KB cluster size.
Win NT/XP/7 increased the maximum cluster size to 64KB, and file/vol
size increased 4GB also. Although increasing, the file size of linux
FAT is still limited at 2GB.
I found that it is limited by sb->maxbytes(0x7fffffff) when partition
is formatted by FAT16. sb->s_maxbytes in fill_super should be set to

When balancing, we'll first try to shrink devices for some space,
but if it is working on a full multi-disk partition with raid protection,
we may encounter a bug, that is, while shrinking, total_bytes may be less
than bytes_used, and btrfs may allocate a dev extent that accesses out of
device's bounds.
Then we will not be able to write or read the data which stores at the end
of the device, and get the followings:
device fsid 0939f071-7ea3-46c8-95df-f176d773bfb6 devid 1 transid 10 /dev/sdb5

We have a problem where if a user specifies discard but doesn't actually support
it we will return EOPNOTSUPP from btrfs_discard_extent. This is a problem
because this gets called (in a fashion) from the tree log recovery code, which
has a nice little BUG_ON(ret) after it, which causes us to fail the tree log
replay. So instead detect wether our devices support discard when we're adding
them and then don't issue discards if we know that the device doesn't support
it. And just for good measure set ret = 0 in btrfs_issue_discard just in case
we still get EOPNOTSUPP so we don't screw anybody up like this again. Thanks,

Running the cthon tests on a recent kernel caused this message to pop
occasionally:
CIFS VFS: did not end path lookup where expected namelen is 0
Some added debugging showed that namelen and dfsplen were both 0 when
this occurred. That means that the read_seqretry returned true.
Assuming that the comment inside the if statement is true, this should
be harmless and just means that we raced with a rename. If that is the
case, then there's no need for alarm and we can demote this to cFYI.
While we're at it, print the dfsplen too so that we can see what
happened here if the message pops during debugging.

Bug discovered by Jan Kara:
Finally, commit 1449032be17abb69116dbc393f67ceb8bd034f92 returned back
the old IO submission code but apparently it forgot to return the old
handling of uninitialized buffers so we unconditionnaly call
block_write_full_page() without specifying end_io function. So AFAICS
we never convert unwritten extents to written in some cases. For
example when I mount the fs as: mount -t ext4 -o
nomblk_io_submit,dioread_nolock /dev/ubdb /mnt and do
int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, 0600);
char buf[1024];
memset(buf, 'a', sizeof(buf));
fallocate(fd, 0, 0, 16384);
write(fd, buf, sizeof(buf));
I get a file full of zeros (after remounting the filesystem so that
pagecache is dropped) instead of seeing the first KB contain 'a's.

EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN flag set and the increase of i_aiodio_unwritten
should be done simultaneously since ext4_end_io_nolock always clear
the flag and decrease the counter in the same time.
We don't increase i_aiodio_unwritten when setting
EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN so it will go nagative and causes some process
to wait forever.
Part of the patch came from Eric in his e-mail, but it doesn't fix the
problem met by Michael actually.

Flush inode's i_completed_io_list before calling ext4_io_wait to
prevent the following deadlock scenario: A page fault happens while
some process is writing inode A. During page fault,
shrink_icache_memory is called that in turn evicts another inode
B. Inode B has some pending io_end work so it calls ext4_ioend_wait()
that waits for inode B's i_ioend_count to become zero. However, inode
B's ioend work was queued behind some of inode A's ioend work on the
same cpu's ext4-dio-unwritten workqueue. As the ext4-dio-unwritten
thread on that cpu is processing inode A's ioend work, it tries to
grab inode A's i_mutex lock. Since the i_mutex lock of inode A is
still hold before the page fault happened, we enter a deadlock.
Also moves ext4_flush_completed_IO and ext4_ioend_wait from
ext4_destroy_inode() to ext4_evict_inode(). During inode deleteion,
ext4_evict_inode() is called before ext4_destroy_inode() and in
ext4_evict_inode(), we may call ext4_truncate() without holding
i_mutex lock. As a result, there is a race between flush_completed_IO
that is called from ext4_ext_truncate() and ext4_end_io_work, which
may cause corruption on an io_end structure. This change moves
ext4_flush_completed_IO and ext4_ioend_wait from ext4_destroy_inode()
to ext4_evict_inode() to resolve the race between ext4_truncate() and
ext4_end_io_work during inode deletion.

ext4_should_writeback_data() had an incorrect sequence of
tests to determine if it should return 0 or 1: in
particular, even in no-journal mode, 0 was being returned
for a non-regular-file inode.
This meant that, in non-journal mode, we would use
ext4_journalled_aops for directories, symlinks, and other
non-regular files. However, calling journalled aop
callbacks when there is no valid handle, can cause problems.
This would cause a kernel crash with Jan Kara's commit
2d859db3e4 ("ext4: fix data corruption in inodes with
journalled data"), because we now dereference 'handle' in
ext4_journalled_write_end().
I also added BUG_ONs to check for a valid handle in the
obviously journal-only aops callbacks.
I tested this running xfstests with a scratch device in
these modes:
- no-journal
- data=ordered
- data=writeback
- data=journal
All work fine; the data=journal run has many failures and a
crash in xfstests 074, but this is no different from a
vanilla kernel.

Just like files-layout, blocks & objects layouts are part of the
NFS 4.1 protocol and should be automatically selected if NFS_4_1
is selected. The small problem is that these depend on other
Kernel support being present, while files only depends on NFS
itself.
This patch removes from the user choice the presence of objects
and blocks layout. But makes sure these are selected only if
the depended subsystems are present in the Kernel.

The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/13/226 introduced an RLIMIT_NPROC
check in set_user() to check for NPROC exceeding via setuid() and
similar functions.
Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed
number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on
rlimit only. But the check created new security threat: many poorly
written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it
cannot fail if executed with root privileges. So, the check is removed
in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to
buggy programs.
The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons
spawning user processes. Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve().
The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in
setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues.
Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the
limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag. With the change only
this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve()
behaviour is not changed.
Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still
exceeded at the moment of execve(). If the process was sleeping for
days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down
under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was
exceeded days ago would be unexpected. If the limit is not exceeded
anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork().
The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit
was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one.
Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag).
v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().

Set security descriptor using path name instead of a file handle.
We can't be sure that the file handle has adequate permission to
set a security descriptor (to modify DACL).
Function set_cifs_acl_by_fid() has been removed since we can't be
sure how a file was opened for writing, a valid request can fail
if the file was not opened with two above mentioned permissions.
We could have opted to add on WRITE_DAC and WRITE_OWNER permissions
to file opens and then use that file handle but adding addtional
permissions such as WRITE_DAC and WRITE_OWNER could cause an
any open to fail.
And it was incorrect to look for read file handle to set a
security descriptor anyway.

more readable
Christoph had requested that the stats related code (in
CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2) be moved into helpers to make code flow more
readable. This patch should help. For example the following
section from transport.c
spin_unlock(&GlobalMid_Lock);
atomic_inc(&ses->server->num_waiters);
wait_event(ses->server->request_q,
atomic_read(&ses->server->inFlight)
< cifs_max_pending);
atomic_dec(&ses->server->num_waiters);
spin_lock(&GlobalMid_Lock);
becomes simpler (with the patch below):
spin_unlock(&GlobalMid_Lock);
cifs_num_waiters_inc(server);
wait_event(server->request_q,
atomic_read(&server->inFlight)
< cifs_max_pending);
cifs_num_waiters_dec(server);
spin_lock(&GlobalMid_Lock);

PNFS_BLOCK needs BLK_DEV_DM/MD, which is not a dependency for other
pnfs layout drivers. Seperate it out so others can still build when
BLK_DEV_DM/MD is not enabled.
Also change select to depends on to avoid build failures.
