wait_log_commit() and wait_for_writer() were using slightly different
conditions for deciding whether they should call schedule() and whether they
should continue in the wait loop. Thus it could happen that we busylooped when
the first condition was not true while the second one was. That is burning CPU
cycles needlessly and is deadly on UP machines...

We have only been checking for min_bytes available in bitmap entries, but we
won't successfully setup a bitmap cluster unless it has at least bytes in the
bitmap, so in the common case min_bytes is 4k and we want something like 2MB, so
if there are a bunch of bitmap entries with less than 2mb's in them, we'll
search all them anyway, which is suboptimal. Fix this check. Thanks,

Cautious admins may want to restrict access to debugfs. Currently a
manual chown/chmod e.g. in an init script is needed to achieve that.
Distributions that want to make the mount options configurable need
to add extra config files. By allowing to set the root inode's uid,
gid and mode via mount options no such hacks are needed anymore.
Instead configuration becomes straight forward via fstab.

If pages passed to the eCryptfs extent-based crypto functions are not
mapped and the module parameter ecryptfs_verbosity=1 was specified at
loading time, a NULL pointer dereference will occur.
Note that this wouldn't happen on a production system, as you wouldn't
pass ecryptfs_verbosity=1 on a production system. It leaks private
information to the system logs and is for debugging only.
The debugging info printed in these messages is no longer very useful
and rather than doing a kmap() in these debugging paths, it will be
better to simply remove the debugging paths completely.

Most filesystems call inode_change_ok() very early in ->setattr(), but
eCryptfs didn't call it at all. It allowed the lower filesystem to make
the call in its ->setattr() function. Then, eCryptfs would copy the
appropriate inode attributes from the lower inode to the eCryptfs inode.
This patch changes that and actually calls inode_change_ok() on the
eCryptfs inode, fairly early in ecryptfs_setattr(). Ideally, the call
would happen earlier in ecryptfs_setattr(), but there are some possible
inode initialization steps that must happen first.
Since the call was already being made on the lower inode, the change in
functionality should be minimal, except for the case of a file extending
truncate call. In that case, inode_newsize_ok() was never being
called on the eCryptfs inode. Rather than inode_newsize_ok() catching
maximum file size errors early on, eCryptfs would encrypt zeroed pages
and write them to the lower filesystem until the lower filesystem's
write path caught the error in generic_write_checks(). This patch
introduces a new function, called ecryptfs_inode_newsize_ok(), which
checks if the new lower file size is within the appropriate limits when
the truncate operation will be growing the lower file.
In summary this change prevents eCryptfs truncate operations (and the
resulting page encryptions), which would exceed the lower filesystem
limits or FSIZE rlimits, from ever starting.

ecryptfs_write() handles the truncation of eCryptfs inodes. It grabs a
page, zeroes out the appropriate portions, and then encrypts the page
before writing it to the lower filesystem. It was unkillable and due to
the lack of sparse file support could result in tying up a large portion
of system resources, while encrypting pages of zeros, with no way for
the truncate operation to be stopped from userspace.
This patch adds the ability for ecryptfs_write() to detect a pending
fatal signal and return as gracefully as possible. The intent is to
leave the lower file in a useable state, while still allowing a user to
break out of the encryption loop. If a pending fatal signal is detected,
the eCryptfs inode size is updated to reflect the modified inode size
and then -EINTR is returned.

ecryptfs_write() can enter an infinite loop when truncating a file to a
size larger than 4G. This only happens on architectures where size_t is
represented by 32 bits.
This was caused by a size_t overflow due to it incorrectly being used to
store the result of a calculation which uses potentially large values of
type loff_t.

One of the most important jobs of sysctl is to export network stack
tunables. Several of those tunables are per network device. In
several instances people are running with 1000+ network devices in
there network stacks, which makes the simple per directory linked list
in sysctl a scaling bottleneck. Replace O(N^2) sysctl insertion and
lookup times with O(NlogN) by using an rbtree to index the sysctl
directories.

This makes the code slightly more maintainable by enabling changes to

Simplify the code and the sysctl semantics by autogenerating
sysctl directories when a sysctl table is registered that needs
the directories and autodeleting the directories when there are
no more sysctl tables registered that need them.
Autogenerating directories keeps sysctl tables from depending
on each other, removing all of the arcane register/unregister
ordering constraints and makes it impossible to get the order
wrong when reigsering and unregistering sysctl tables.
Autogenerating directories yields one unique entity that dentries
can point to, retaining the current effective use of the dcache.
Add struct ctl_dir as the type of these new autogenerated
directories.
The attached_by and attached_to fields in ctl_table_header are
removed as they are no longer needed.
The child field in ctl_table is no longer needed by the core of
the sysctl code. ctl_table.child can be removed once all of the
existing users have been updated.

- Stop validating subdirectories now that we only register leaf tables
- Cleanup and improve the duplicate filename check.
* Run the duplicate filename check under the sysctl_lock to guarantee
we never add duplicate names.
* Reduce the duplicate filename check to nearly O(M*N) where M is the
number of entries in tthe table we are registering and N is the
number of entries in the directory before we got there.
- Move the duplicate filename check into it's own function and call
it directtly from __register_sysctl_table
- Kill the config option as the sanity checks are now cheap enough
the config option is unnecessary. The original reason for the config
option was because we had a huge table used to verify the proc filename
to binary sysctl mapping. That table has now evolved into the binary_sysctl
translation layer and is no longer part of the sysctl_check code.
- Tighten up the permission checks. Guarnateeing that files only have read
or write permissions.
- Removed redudant check for parents having a procname as now everything has
a procname.
- Generalize the backtrace logic so that we print a backtrace from
any failure of __register_sysctl_table that was not caused by
a memmory allocation failure. The backtrace allows us to track
down who erroneously registered a sysctl table.

Split the registration of a complex ctl_table array which may have
arbitrary numbers of directories (->child != NULL) and tables of files
into a series of simpler registrations that only register tables of files.
Graphically:
register('dir', { + file-a
+ file-b
+ subdir1
+ file-c
+ subdir2
+ file-d
+ file-e })
is transformed into:
wrapper->subheaders[0] = register('dir', {file1-a, file1-b})
wrapper->subheaders[1] = register('dir/subdir1', {file-c})
wrapper->subheaders[2] = register('dir/subdir2', {file-d, file-e})
return wrapper
This guarantees that __register_sysctl_table will only see a simple
ctl_table array with all entries having (->child == NULL).
Care was taken to pass the original simple ctl_table arrays to
__register_sysctl_table whenever possible.
This change is derived from a similar patch written

Now that binary paths have been banished into the real of backwards
compatibility in kernel/binary_sysctl.c where they can be safely
ignored there is no longer a need to use struct ctl_path to represent
path names when registering ctl_tables.
Start the transition to using normal char * strings to represent

__register_sysctl_paths is turned into a backwards compatibility wrapper

After adding devpts multiple-insrances sysctl kernel.pty.max limit pty count for
each devpts instance independently, while kernel.pty.nr shows total pty count.
This patch restores sysctl kernel.pty.max as global limit (4096 by default),
adds pty reseve for main devpts (mounted without "newinstance" argument),
and new sysctl to tune it: kernel.pty.reserve (1024 by default)
Also it adds devpts mount option "max=%d" to limit pty count for each devpts
instance independently. (by default NR_UNIX98_PTY_MAX == 2^20)
Thus devpts instances in containers cannot eat up all available pty even if we didn't
set any limits, while with "max" argument we can adjust limits more precisely.
Plus, now open("/dev/ptmx") return -ENOSPC in case lack of pty indexes,
this is more informative than -EIO.

Tracking the number of subdirectories requires an extra field that increases
the size of sysfs_dirent. nlinks are not particularly interesting for sysfs
and the nlink counts are wrong when network namespaces are involved so stop
counting them, and always return nlink == 1. Userspace already knows that
directories with nlink == 1 have an nlink count they can't use to count
subdirectories.
This reduces the size of sysfs_dirent by 8 bytes on 64bit platforms.
