2012-05-31Btrfs: add inodes before dropping the extent lock in find_all_leafsJan Schmidt
We must build up the inode list with the extent lock held after following indirect refs. This also requires an extension to ulists, which allows to modify the stored aux value in case a key already exists in the list. Signed-off-by: Jan Schmidt <list.btrfs@jan-o-sch.net>

Pull Sparc updates from David S. Miller: 1) Remove the idiotic situation wherein Leon was a special case in all of the TLB/cache handling code. The worst side effect of this bogosity is that you couldn't build a kernel with Leon support enabled (to get better build coverage), and test boot it on a non-LEON cpu. Leon is, in all core respects, programatically identical to the 32-bit SRMMU. Except that they put the TLB registers in a different alternate address space location. Through code patching (for fast paths) and run time checks, this issue is now a thing of the past. From Sam Ravnborg. 2) There was a mis-merge of arch/sparc/Kconfig for one of the clockevents changes that went in, causing 32-bit sparc to start failing to build. I merged in your tree to get those clockevents changes (and added a note to the merge commit) then added Stephen Rothwell's fix for the merge error. 3) Software quad floating point emulation was not working properly on more recent Niagara chips, because the way the situation is reported by the cpu has changed. Nobody noticed because gcc emits calls to software emulation routines in glibc. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc: (25 commits) sparc: fix sparc64 build due to leon.h inclusion sparc32: remove unused variable in head_32.S sparc32,leon: fix leon bootup sparc32: Export leon_dma_ops to modules. sparc32: support leon + sun in dma_make_coherent() sparc32,leon: always support leon in ioport sparc32,leon: always include leon_pmc in build sparc32: refactor cpu_idle() sparc32: srmmu_probe now knows about leon too sparc32: drop LEON hack for ASI_M_MMUREGS sparc32: introduce run-time patching of srmmu access functions sparc32: introduce support for run-time patching for all shared assembler code sparc32,leon: fix section mismatch warning sparc32,leon: always include leon_smp + leon_mm in build sparc32,leon: always include leon_kernel in build sparc32,leon: clean up leon.h sparc32: handle leon in cpu.c sparc32: handle leon in irq_32.c sparc32: add support for run-time patching of leon/sun single instructions sparc32: introduce sparc32_start_kernel called from head_32.S ...

2012-05-30pipe: return -ENOIOCTLCMD instead of -EINVAL on unknown ioctl commandWill Deacon
As described in commit 07d106d0a ("vfs: fix up ENOIOCTLCMD error handling"), drivers should return -ENOIOCTLCMD if they receive an ioctl command which they don't understand. Doing so will result in -ENOTTY being returned to userspace, which matches the behaviour of the compat layer if it fails to translate an ioctl command. This patch fixes the pipe ioctl to return -ENOIOCTLCMD instead of -EINVAL when passed an unknown ioctl command.

2012-05-30vfs: stop d_splice_alias creating directory aliasesJ. Bruce Fields
A directory should never have more than one dentry pointing to it. But d_splice_alias() will add one if it finds a directory with an already-existing non-DISCONNECTED dentry. I can't find an obvious reproducer, but I also can't see what prevents d_splice_alias() from encountering such a case. It therefore seems safest to allow d_splice_alias to use any dentry it finds. (Prior to the removal of dentry_unhash() from vfs_rmdir(), around v3.0, this could cause an nfsd deadlock like this: - Somebody attempts to remove a non-empty directory. - The dentry_unhash() in vfs_rmdir() unhashes the dentry pointing to the non-empty directory. - ->rmdir() then fails with -ENOTEMPTY - Before the vfs_rmdir() caller reaches dput(), an nfsd process in rename looks up the directory by filehandle; at the end of that lookup, this dentry is found by d_alloc_anon(), and a reference is taken on it, preventing dput() from removing it. - A regular lookup of the directory calls d_splice_alias(), finds only an unhashed (not a DISCONNECTED) dentry, and insteads adds a new one, so the directory now has two dentries. - The nfsd process in rename, which was previously looking up the source directory of the rename, now looks up the target directory (which is the same), and gets the dentry newly created by the previous lookup. - The rename, seeing two different dentries, assumes this is a cross-directory rename and attempts to take the i_mutex on the directory twice. That reproducer no longer exists, but I don't think there was anything fundamentally incorrect about the vfs_rmdir() behavior there, so I think the real fault was here in d_splice_alias().)

2012-05-30fsnotify: handle subfiles' perm eventsNaohiro Aota
Recently I'm working on fanotify and found the following strange behaviors. I wrote a program to set fanotify_mark on "/tmp/block" and FAN_DENY all events notified. fanotify_mask = FAN_ALL_EVENTS | FAN_ALL_PERM_EVENTS | FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD: $ cd /tmp/block; cat foo cat: foo: Operation not permitted Operation on the file is blocked as expected. But, fanotify_mask = FAN_ALL_PERM_EVENTS | FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD: $ cd /tmp/block; cat foo aaa It's not blocked anymore. This is confusing behavior. Also reading commit "fsnotify: call fsnotify_parent in perm events", it seems like fsnotify should handle subfiles' perm events as well as the other notify events. With this patch, regardless of FAN_ALL_EVENTS set or not: $ cd /tmp/block; cat foo cat: foo: Operation not permitted Operation on the file is now blocked properly. FS_OPEN_PERM and FS_ACCESS_PERM are not listed on FS_EVENTS_POSS_ON_CHILD. Due to fsnotify_inode_watches_children() check, if you only specify only these events as fsnotify_mask, you don't get subfiles' perm events notified. This patch add the events to FS_EVENTS_POSS_ON_CHILD to get them notified even if only these events are specified to fsnotify_mask.

2012-05-30vfs: increment iversion when a file is truncatedDmitry Kasatkin
When a file is truncated with truncate()/ftruncate() and then closed, iversion is not updated. This patch uses ATTR_SIZE flag as an indication to increment iversion. Mimi said: On fput(), i_version is used to detect and flag files that have changed and need to be re-measured in the IMA measurement policy. When a file is truncated with truncate()/ftruncate() and then closed, i_version is not updated. As a result, although the file has changed, it will not be re-measured and added to the IMA measurement list on subsequent access.

2012-05-30jffs2: get rid of jffs2_sync_superArtem Bityutskiy
Currently JFFS2 file-system maps the VFS "superblock" abstraction to the write-buffer. Namely, it uses VFS services to synchronize the write-buffer periodically. The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the 'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and writes out all dirty superblock using the '->write_super()' call-back. But the problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every 5 seconds no matter what. So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to make file-systems to stop using the '->write_super' VFS service, and then remove it together with the kernel thread. This patch switches the JFFS2 write-buffer management from '->write_super()'/'->s_dirt' to a delayed work. Instead of setting the 's_dirt' flag we just schedule a delayed work for synchronizing the write-buffer.
