In preparation for allowing mountpoints to be renamed and unlinked in remote filesystems and in other mount namespaces test if on a dentry there is a mount in the local mount namespace before allowing it to be renamed or unlinked. The primary motivation here are old versions of fusermount unmount which is not safe if the a path can be renamed or unlinked while it is verifying the mount is safe to unmount. More recent versions are simpler and safer by simply using UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW when unmounting a mount in a directory owned by an arbitrary user. Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> reports this is approach is good enough to remove concerns about new kernels mixed with old versions of fusermount. A secondary motivation for restrictions here is that it removing empty directories that have non-empty mount points on them appears to violate the rule that rmdir can not remove empty directories. As Linus Torvalds pointed out this is useful for programs (like git) that test if a directory is empty with rmdir. Therefore this patch arranges to enforce the existing mount point semantics for local mount namespace. v2: Rewrote the test to be a drop in replacement for d_mountpoint v3: Use bool instead of int as the return type of is_local_mountpoint Reviewed-by: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

The current comments in d_invalidate about what and why it is doing what it is doing are wildly off-base. Which is not surprising as the comments date back to last minute bug fix of the 2.2 kernel. The big fat lie of a comment said: If it's a directory, we can't drop it for fear of somebody re-populating it with children (even though dropping it would make it unreachable from that root, we still might repopulate it if it was a working directory or similar). [AV] What we really need to avoid is multiple dentry aliases of the same directory inode; on all filesystems that have ->d_revalidate() we either declare all positive dentries always valid (and thus never fed to d_invalidate()) or use d_materialise_unique() and/or d_splice_alias(), which take care of alias prevention. The current rules are: - To prevent mount point leaks dentries that are mount points or that have childrent that are mount points may not be be unhashed. - All dentries may be unhashed. - Directories may be rehashed with d_materialise_unique check_submounts_and_drop implements this already for well maintained remote filesystems so implement the current rules in d_invalidate by just calling check_submounts_and_drop. The one difference between d_invalidate and check_submounts_and_drop is that d_invalidate must respect it when a d_revalidate method has earlier called d_drop so preserve the d_unhashed check in d_invalidate.

On final mntput() we want fs shutdown to happen before return to userland; however, the only case where we want it happen right there (i.e. where task_work_add won't do) is MNT_INTERNAL victim. Those have to be fully synchronous - failure halfway through module init might count on having vfsmount killed right there. Fortunately, final mntput on MNT_INTERNAL vfsmounts happens on shallow stack. So we handle those synchronously and do an analog of delayed fput logics for everything else. As the result, we are guaranteed that fs shutdown will always happen on shallow stack. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Biederman's umount-on-rmdir series changes d_invalidate() to sumarily remove mounts under the passed in dentry regardless of whether they are busy or not. So calling this in fs/autofs4/expire.c:autofs4_tree_busy() is definitely the wrong thing to do becuase it will silently umount entries instead of just cleaning stale dentrys. But this call shouldn't be needed and testing shows that automounting continues to function without it. As Al Viro correctly surmises the original intent of the call was to perform what shrink_dcache_parent() does. If at some time in the future I see stale dentries accumulating following failed mounts I'll revisit the issue and possibly add a shrink_dcache_parent() call if needed.

* external dentry names get a small structure prepended to them (struct external_name). * it contains an atomic refcount, matching the number of struct dentry instances that have ->d_name.name pointing to that external name. The first thing free_dentry() does is decrementing refcount of external name, so the instances that are between the call of free_dentry() and RCU-delayed actual freeing do not contribute. * __d_move(x, y, false) makes the name of x equal to the name of y, external or not. If y has an external name, extra reference is grabbed and put into x->d_name.name. If x used to have an external name, the reference to the old name is dropped and, should it reach zero, freeing is scheduled via kfree_rcu(). * free_dentry() in dentry with external name decrements the refcount of that name and, should it reach zero, does RCU-delayed call that will free both the dentry and external name. Otherwise it does what it used to do, except that __d_free() doesn't even look at ->d_name.name; it simply frees the dentry. All non-RCU accesses to dentry external name are safe wrt freeing since they all should happen before free_dentry() is called. RCU accesses might run into a dentry seen by free_dentry() or into an old name that got already dropped by __d_move(); however, in both cases dentry must have been alive and refer to that name at some point after we'd done rcu_read_lock(), which means that any freeing must be still pending.

AFAICS, prepend_name() is broken on SMP alpha. Disclaimer: I don't have SMP alpha boxen to reproduce it on. However, it really looks like the race is real. CPU1: d_path() on /mnt/ramfs/<255-character>/foo CPU2: mv /mnt/ramfs/<255-character> /mnt/ramfs/<63-character> CPU2 does d_alloc(), which allocates an external name, stores the name there including terminating NUL, does smp_wmb() and stores its address in dentry->d_name.name. It proceeds to d_add(dentry, NULL) and d_move() old dentry over to that. ->d_name.name value ends up in that dentry. In the meanwhile, CPU1 gets to prepend_name() for that dentry. It fetches ->d_name.name and ->d_name.len; the former ends up pointing to new name (64-byte kmalloc'ed array), the latter - 255 (length of the old name). Nothing to force the ordering there, and normally that would be OK, since we'd run into the terminating NUL and stop. Except that it's alpha, and we'd need a data dependency barrier to guarantee that we see that store of NUL __d_alloc() has done. In a similar situation dentry_cmp() would survive; it does explicit smp_read_barrier_depends() after fetching ->d_name.name. prepend_name() doesn't and it risks walking past the end of kmalloc'ed object and possibly oops due to taking a page fault in kernel mode.

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo: "This is quite late but these need to be backported anyway. This is the fix for a long-standing cpuset bug which existed from 2009. cpuset makes use of PF_SPREAD_{PAGE|SLAB} flags to modify the task's memory allocation behavior according to the settings of the cpuset it belongs to; unfortunately, when those flags have to be changed, cpuset did so directly even whlie the target task is running, which is obviously racy as task->flags may be modified by the task itself at any time. This obscure bug manifested as corrupt PF_USED_MATH flag leading to a weird crash. The bug is fixed by moving the flag to task->atomic_flags.

Only exchange source and destination filenames if flags contain RENAME_EXCHANGE. In case if executable file was running and replaced by other file /proc/PID/exe should still show correct file name, not the old name of the file by which it was replaced. The scenario when this bug manifests itself was like this: * ALT Linux uses rpm and start-stop-daemon; * during a package upgrade rpm creates a temporary file for an executable to rename it upon successful unpacking; * start-stop-daemon is run subsequently and it obtains the (nonexistant) temporary filename via /proc/PID/exe thus failing to identify the running process. Note that "long" filenames (> DNAiME_INLINE_LEN) are still exchanged without RENAME_EXCHANGE and this behaviour exists long enough (should be fixed too apparently). So this patch is just an interim workaround that restores behavior for "short" names as it was before changes introduced by commit da1ce067 ("vfs: add cross-rename"). See https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/7/6 for details. AV: the comments about being more careful with ->d_name.hash than with ->d_name.name are from back in 2.3.40s; they became obsolete by 2.3.60s, when we started to unhash the target instead of swapping hash chain positions followed by d_delete() as we used to do when dcache was first introduced.

The third argument of fuse_get_user_pages() "nbytesp" refers to the number of bytes a caller asked to pack into fuse request. This value may be lesser than capacity of fuse request or iov_iter. So fuse_get_user_pages() must ensure that *nbytesp won't grow. Now, when helper iov_iter_get_pages() performs all hard work of extracting pages from iov_iter, it can be done by passing properly calculated "maxsize" to the helper. The other caller of iov_iter_get_pages() (dio_refill_pages()) doesn't need this capability, so pass LONG_MAX as the maxsize argument here.

This fixes the same bug as b43790ee ("mm: softdirty: don't forget to save file map softdiry bit on unmap") and 9aed8614 ("mm/memory.c: don't forget to set softdirty on file mapped fault") where the return value of pte_*mksoft_dirty was being ignored. To be sure that no other pte/pmd "mk" function return values were being ignored, I annotated the functions in arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h with __must_check and rebuilt. The userspace effect of this bug is that the softdirty mark might be lost if a file mapped pte get zapped.

This bug was introduced in commit 68b5a652 ("mm: softdirty: respect VM_SOFTDIRTY in PTE holes"). That commit made /proc/pid/pagemap look at VM_SOFTDIRTY in PTE holes but neglected to observe the start of VMAs returned by find_vma.

This bug leads to reproducible silent data loss, despite the use of msync(), sync() and a clean unmount of the file system. It is easily reproducible with the following script: ----------------[BEGIN SCRIPT]-------------------- mkfs.nilfs2 -f /dev/sdb mount /dev/sdb /mnt dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=30 of=/mnt/testfile umount /mnt mount /dev/sdb /mnt CHECKSUM_BEFORE="$(md5sum /mnt/testfile)" /root/mmaptest/mmaptest /mnt/testfile 30 10 5 sync CHECKSUM_AFTER="$(md5sum /mnt/testfile)" umount /mnt mount /dev/sdb /mnt CHECKSUM_AFTER_REMOUNT="$(md5sum /mnt/testfile)" umount /mnt echo "BEFORE MMAP:\t$CHECKSUM_BEFORE" echo "AFTER MMAP:\t$CHECKSUM_AFTER" echo "AFTER REMOUNT:\t$CHECKSUM_AFTER_REMOUNT" ----------------[END SCRIPT]-------------------- The mmaptest tool looks something like this (very simplified, with error checking removed): ----------------[BEGIN mmaptest]-------------------- data = mmap(NULL, file_size - file_offset, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, file_offset); for (i = 0; i < write_count; ++i) { memcpy(data + i * 4096, buf, sizeof(buf)); msync(data, file_size - file_offset, MS_SYNC)) } ----------------[END mmaptest]-------------------- The output of the script looks something like this: BEFORE MMAP: 281ed1d5ae50e8419f9b978aab16de83 /mnt/testfile AFTER MMAP: 6604a1c31f10780331a6850371b3a313 /mnt/testfile AFTER REMOUNT: 281ed1d5ae50e8419f9b978aab16de83 /mnt/testfile So it is clear, that the changes done using mmap() do not survive a remount. This can be reproduced a 100% of the time. The problem was introduced in commit 136e8770 ("nilfs2: fix issue of nilfs_set_page_dirty() for page at EOF boundary"). If the page was read with mpage_readpage() or mpage_readpages() for example, then it has no buffers attached to it. In that case page_has_buffers(page) in nilfs_set_page_dirty() will be false. Therefore nilfs_set_file_dirty() is never called and the pages are never collected and never written to disk. This patch fixes the problem by also calling nilfs_set_file_dirty() if the page has no buffers attached to it.

Every mcount() call in the MIPS 32-bit kernel is done as follows: [...] move at, ra jal _mcount addiu sp, sp, -8 [...] but upon returning from the mcount() function, the stack pointer is not adjusted properly. This is explained in details in 58b69401 (MIPS: Function tracer: Fix broken function tracing). Commit ad8c3969 ("MIPS: Unbreak function tracer for 64-bit kernel.) fixed the stack manipulation for 64-bit but it didn't fix it completely for MIPS32.

Commit bbd426f5 "MIPS: Simplify FP context access" modified the SIFROMREG & SIFROMHREG macros such that they return unsigned rather than signed 32b integers. I had believed that to be fine, but inadvertently missed the MFC1 & MFHC1 cases which write to a struct pt_regs regs element. On MIPS32 this is fine, but on 64 bit those saved regs' fields are 64 bit wide. Using unsigned values caused the 32 bit value from the FP register to be zero rather than sign extended as the architecture specifies, causing incorrect emulation of the MFC1 & MFHc1 instructions. Fix by reintroducing the casts to signed integers, and therefore the sign extension.

Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "These are regression fixes (ACPI hotplug, cpufreq, hibernation, ACPI LPSS driver), fixes for stuff that never worked correctly (ACPI GPIO support in some cases and a wrong sign of an error code in the ACPI core in one place), and one blacklist item for ACPI backlight handling. Specifics: - Revert of a recent hibernation core commit that introduced a NULL pointer dereference during resume for at least one user (Rafael J Wysocki). - Fix for the ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver to disable asynchronous PM callback execution for LPSS devices during system suspend/resume (introduced in 3.16) which turns out to break ordering expectations on some systems. From Fu Zhonghui. - cpufreq core fix related to the handling of sysfs nodes during system suspend/resume that has been broken for intel_pstate since 3.15 from Lan Tianyu. - Restore the generation of "online" uevents for ACPI container devices that was removed in 3.14, but some user space utilities turn out to need them (Rafael J Wysocki). - The cpufreq core fails to release a lock in an error code path after changes made in 3.14. Fix from Prarit Bhargava. - ACPICA and ACPI/GPIO fixes to make the handling of ACPI GPIO operation regions (which means AML using GPIOs) work correctly in all cases from Bob Moore and Srinivas Pandruvada. - Fix for a wrong sign of the ACPI core's create_modalias() return value in case of an error from Mika Westerberg. - ACPI backlight blacklist entry for ThinkPad X201s from Aaron Lu" * tag 'pm+acpi-3.17-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: Revert "PM / Hibernate: Iterate over set bits instead of PFNs in swsusp_free()" gpio / ACPI: Use pin index and bit length ACPICA: Update to GPIO region handler interface. ACPI / platform / LPSS: disable async suspend/resume of LPSS devices cpufreq: release policy->rwsem on error cpufreq: fix cpufreq suspend/resume for intel_pstate ACPI / scan: Correct error return value of create_modalias() ACPI / video: disable native backlight for ThinkPad X201s ACPI / hotplug: Generate online uevents for ACPI containers

Pull i2c fixes from Wolfram Sang: "This is probably not the kind of pull request you want to see that late in the cycle. Yet, the ACPI refactorization was problematic again and caused another two issues which need fixing. My holidays with limited internet (plus travelling) and the developer's illness didn't help either :( The details: - ACPI code was refactored out into a seperate file and as a side-effect, the i2c-core module got renamed. Jean Delvare rightfully complained about the rename being problematic for distributions. So, Mika and I thought the least problematic way to deal with it is to move all the code back into the main i2c core source file. This is mainly a huge code move with some #ifdeffery applied. No functional code changes. Our personal tests and the testbots did not find problems. (I was thinking about reverting, too, yet that would also have ~800 lines changed) - The new ACPI code also had a NULL pointer exception, thanks to Peter for finding and fixing it. - Mikko fixed a locking problem by decoupling clock_prepare and clock_enable. - Addy learnt that the datasheet was wrong and reimplemented the frequency setup according to the new algorithm. - Fan fixed an off-by-one error when copying data - Janusz fixed a copy'n'paste bug which gave a wrong error message - Sergei made sure that "don't touch" bits are not accessed" * 'i2c/for-current' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wsa/linux: i2c: acpi: Fix NULL Pointer dereference i2c: move acpi code back into the core i2c: rk3x: fix divisor calculation for SCL frequency i2c: mxs: fix error message in pio transfer i2c: ismt: use correct length when copy buffer i2c: rcar: fix RCAR_IRQ_ACK_{RECV|SEND} i2c: tegra: Move clk_prepare/clk_set_rate to probe
