I noticed that "struct xfs_mount_args" was still declared in
"fs/xfs/xfs_mount.h". That struct doesn't even exist any more (and
is obviously not referenced elsewhere in that header file). While
in there, delete four other unneeded struct declarations in that
file.
Doing so highlights that "fs/xfs/xfs_trace.h" was relying indirectly
on "xfs_mount.h" to be #included in order to declare "struct
xfs_bmbt_irec", so add that declaration to resolve that issue.

If ->atomic_open() returns -ENOENT, we take care to return the create
error (e.g., EACCES), if any. Do the same when ->atomic_open() returns 1
and provides a negative dentry.
This fixes a regression where an unprivileged open O_CREAT fails with
ENOENT instead of EACCES, introduced with the new atomic_open code. It
is tested by the open/08.t test in the pjd posix test suite, and was
observed on top of fuse (backed by ceph-fuse).

Userspace can pass weird create mode in open(2) that we canonicalize to
"(mode & S_IALLUGO) | S_IFREG" in vfs_create().
The problem is that we use the uncanonicalized mode before calling vfs_create()

struct file already has a user namespace associated with it
in file->f_cred->user_ns, unfortunately because struct
seq_file has no struct file backpointer associated with
it, it is difficult to get at the user namespace in seq_file
context. Therefore add a helper function seq_user_ns to return
the associated user namespace and a user_ns field to struct
seq_file to be used in implementing seq_user_ns.

The BKL push-down for reiserfs made lock recursion a special case that needs
to be handled explicitly. One of the cases that was unhandled is dropping
the quota during inode eviction. Both reiserfs_evict_inode and
reiserfs_write_dquot take the write lock, but when the journal lock is
taken it only drops one the references. The locking rules are that the journal
lock be acquired before the write lock so leaving the reference open leads
to a ABBA deadlock.
This patch pushes the unlock up before clear_inode and avoids the recursive
locking.
Another ABBA situation can occur when the write lock is dropped while reading
the bitmap buffer while in the quota code. When the lock is reacquired, it
will deadlock against dquot->dq_lock and dqopt->dqio_mutex in the dquot_acquire
path. It's safe to retain the lock across the read and should be cached under
write load.

Convert delayed_work users doing cancel_delayed_work() followed by
queue_delayed_work() to mod_delayed_work().
Most conversions are straight-forward. Ones worth mentioning are,
* drivers/edac/edac_mc.c: edac_mc_workq_setup() converted to always
use mod_delayed_work() and cancel loop in
edac_mc_reset_delay_period() is dropped.
* drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c: No need to remember whether
watchdog is active or not. @fan_watchdog_active and related code
dropped.
* drivers/power/charger-manager.c: Seemingly a lot of
delayed_work_pending() abuse going on here.
[delayed_]work_pending() are unsynchronized and racy when used like
this. I converted one instance in fullbatt_handler(). Please
conver the rest so that it invokes workqueue APIs for the intended
target state rather than trying to game work item pending state
transitions. e.g. if timer should be modified - call
mod_delayed_work(), canceled - call cancel_delayed_work[_sync]().
* drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c: thermal_zone_device_set_polling()
simplified. Note that round_jiffies() calls in this function are
meaningless. round_jiffies() work on absolute jiffies not delta
delay used by delayed_work.
v2: Tomi pointed out that __cancel_delayed_work() users can't be
safely converted to mod_delayed_work(). They could be calling it
from irq context and if that happens while delayed_work_timer_fn()
is running, it could deadlock. __cancel_delayed_work() users are
dropped.

Once the tcp_create_listen_sock() is returned successfully, we
will invoke add_sock() immediately. In add_sock(), the 'con'
variable is assigned to 'sk_user_data', meanwhile, the 'sock' is
also set to 'con->sock'. So it's unnecessary to do the same thing
in tcp_create_listen_sock().

We got a recursive lock in mksubvol because the caller already held
a lock. I think we got into this due to a merge error. Commit a874a63
removed the mnt_want_write call from btrfs_mksubvol and added a
replacement call to mnt_want_write_file in btrfs_ioctl_snap_create_transid.
Commit e7848683 however tried to move all calls to mnt_want_write above
i_mutex. So somewhere while merging this, it got mixed up. The
solution is to remove the mnt_want_write call completely from
mksubvol.

Ever since commit 0a57cdac3f (NFSv4.1 send layoutreturn to fence
disconnected data server) we've been sending layoutreturn calls
while there is potentially still outstanding I/O to the data
servers. The reason we do this is to avoid races between replayed
writes to the MDS and the original writes to the DS.
When this happens, the BUG_ON() in nfs4_layoutreturn_done can
be triggered because it assumes that we would never call
layoutreturn without knowing that all I/O to the DS is
finished. The fix is to remove the BUG_ON() now that the
assumptions behind the test are obsolete.

A deadlock sometimes occurs between dlm_controld closing
a lowcomms connection through configfs and dlm_send looking
up the address for a new connection in configfs.
dlm_controld does a configfs rmdir which calls
dlm_lowcomms_close which waits for dlm_send to
cancel work on the workqueues.
The dlm_send workqueue thread has called
tcp_connect_to_sock which calls dlm_nodeid_to_addr
which does a configfs lookup and blocks on a lock
held by dlm_controld in the rmdir path.
The solution here is to save the node addresses within
the lowcomms code so that the lowcomms workqueue does
not need to step through configfs to get a node address.

Commit 7572777eef78ebdee1ecb7c258c0ef94d35bad16 attempted to verify that
the total iovec from the client doesn't overflow iov_length() but it
only checked the first element. The iovec could still overflow by
starting with a small element. The obvious fix is to check all the
elements.
The overflow case doesn't look dangerous to the kernel as the copy is
limited by the length after the overflow. This fix restores the
intention of returning an error instead of successfully copying less
than the iovec represented.
I found this by code inspection. I built it but don't have a test case.
I'm cc:ing stable because the initial commit did as well.

Commit 03179fe923 introduced a kmemcheck complaint in
ext4_da_get_block_prep() because we save and restore
ei->i_da_metadata_calc_last_lblock even though it is left
uninitialized in the case where i_da_metadata_calc_len is zero.
This doesn't hurt anything, but silencing the kmemcheck complaint

After we transfer set the EXT4_ERROR_FS bit in the file system
superblock, it's not enough to call jbd2_journal_clear_err() to clear
the error indication from journal superblock --- we need to call
jbd2_journal_update_sb_errno() as well. Otherwise, when the root file
system is mounted read-only, the journal is replayed, and the error
indicator is transferred to the superblock --- but the s_errno field
in the jbd2 superblock is left set (since although we cleared it in
memory, we never flushed it out to disk).
This can end up confusing e2fsck. We should make e2fsck more robust
in this case, but the kernel shouldn't be leaving things in this
confused state, either.

write_buf() should be marked as notrace, otherwise it is prone to
recursion.
Though, yet the issue is never triggered in real life, because we run
inside the function tracer, where ftrace does its own recurse protection.
But it's still no good, plus soon we might switch to our own tracer ops,
and then the issue will be fatal. So, let's fix it.

We can dereference 'cxt->cprz' if console and dump logging are disabled
(which is unlikely, but still possible to do). This patch fixes the issue
by changing the code so that we don't dereference przs at all, we can
just calculate bufsize from console_size and record_size values.
Plus, while at it, the patch improves the buffer size calculation.
After Kay's printk rework, we know the optimal buffer size for console
logging -- it is LOG_LINE_MAX (defined privately in printk.c). Previously,
if only console logging was enabled, we would allocate unnecessary large
buffer in pstore, while we only need LOG_LINE_MAX. (Pstore console logging
is still capable of handling buffers > LOG_LINE_MAX, it will just do
multiple calls to psinfo->write).
Note that I don't export the constant, since we will do even a better
thing soon: we will switch console logging to a new write_buf API, which
will eliminate the need for the additional buffer; and so we won't need
the constant.

Finally we can kill the 'sync_supers' kernel thread along with the
'->write_super()' superblock operation because all the users are gone.
Now every file-system is supposed to self-manage own superblock and
its dirty state.
The nice thing about killing this thread is that it improves power management.
Indeed, 'sync_supers' is a source of monotonic system wake-ups - it woke up
every 5 seconds no matter what - even if there were no dirty superblocks and
even if there were no file-systems using this service (e.g., btrfs and
journalled ext4 do not need it). So it was wasting power most of the time. And
because the thread was in the core of the kernel, all systems had to have it.
So I am quite happy to make it go away.
Interestingly, this thread is a left-over from the pdflush kernel thread which
was a self-forking kernel thread responsible for all the write-back in old
Linux kernels. It was turned into per-block device BDI threads, and
'sync_supers' was a left-over. Thus, R.I.P, pdflush as well.

Depending on layout and ARCH, ORE has some limits on max IO sizes
which is communicated on (what else) ore_layout->max_io_length,
which is always stripe aligned.
This was considered as the pg_test boundary for splitting and starting
a new IO.
But in the case of a long IO where the start offset is not aligned
what would happen is that both end of IO[N] and start of IO[N+1]
would be unaligned, causing each IO boundary parity unit to be
calculated and written twice.
So what we do in this patch is split the very start of an unaligned
IO, up to a stripe boundary, and then next IO's can continue fully
aligned til the end.
We might be sacrificing the case where the full unaligned IO would
fit within a single max_io_length, but the sacrifice is well worth
the elimination of double calculation and parity units IO.
Actually the sacrificing is marginal and is almost unmeasurable.
TODO:
If we know the total expected linear segment that will
be received, at pg_init, we could use that information
in many places:
1. blocks-layout get_layout write segment size
2. Better mds-threshold
3. In above situation for a better clean split
I will do this in future submission.
