Pull UBIFS updates from Artem Bityutskiy: - Added another debugfs knob for forcing UBIFS R/O mode without flushing caches or finishing commit or any other I/O operation. I've originally added this knob in order to reproduce the free space fixup bug (see commit c6727932: "UBIFS: fix a bug in empty space fix-up") on nandsim. Without this knob I would have to do real power-cuts, which would make debugging much harder. Then I've decided to keep this knob because it is also useful for UBIFS power-cut recovery end error-paths testing. - Well-spotted fix from Julia. This bug did not cause real troubles for UBIFS, but nevertheless it could cause issues for someone trying to modify the orphans handling code. Kudos to coccinelle! - Minor cleanups. * tag 'upstream-3.6-rc1' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-ubifs: UBIFS: remove invalid reference to list iterator variable UBIFS: simplify reply code a bit UBIFS: add debugfs knob to switch to R/O mode UBIFS: fix compilation warning

The only checks of the long argument passed to fcntl(fd,F_SETLEASE,.) are done after converting the long to an int. Thus some illegal values may be let through and cause problems in later code. [ They actually *don't* cause problems in mainline, as of Dave Jones's commit 8d657eb3 "Remove easily user-triggerable BUG from generic_setlease", but we should fix this anyway. And this patch will be necessary to fix real bugs on earlier kernels. ] Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: J.

Pull the big VFS changes from Al Viro: "This one is *big* and changes quite a few things around VFS. What's in there: - the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open intents. The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in fs/namei.c, we finally have it. Unlike his variant, this one doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is ->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing everything via its fields. Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E... on error, 0 on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g. symlink found on server, etc.). See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open(). That made a lot of goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile: ->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag. With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still visible in namei.h, but not for long. Come the next cycle, declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c itself. [me, miklos, hch] - The second major change: behaviour of final fput(). Now we have __fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep in call stack. That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there. Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which has immediately simplified life for aio.c). We also don't need anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore. There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially asynchronous. For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace. For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure it's finished; so far only one such place had been found, but there might be more. There's flush_delayed_fput() (do all pending __fput()) and there's __fput_sync() (fput() analog doing __fput() immediately). I hope we won't need them often; see warnings in fs/file_table.c for details. [me, based on task_work series from Oleg merged last cycle] - sync series from Jan - large part of "death to sync_supers()" work from Artem; the only bits missing here are exofs and ext4 ones. As far as I understand, those are going via the exofs and ext4 trees resp.; once they are in, we can put ->write_super() to the rest, along with the thread calling it. - preparatory bits from unionmount series (from dhowells). - assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place, as usual. This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's ESTALE work and fsfreeze series (the latter - in dire need of fixes, so I'm not sure it'll make the cut this cycle). I'll probably throw symlink/hardlink restrictions stuff from Kees into the next pile, too. Plus there's a lot of misc patches I hadn't thrown into that one - it's large enough as it is..." * 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (127 commits) ext4: switch EXT4_IOC_RESIZE_FS to mnt_want_write_file() btrfs: switch btrfs_ioctl_balance() to mnt_want_write_file() switch dentry_open() to struct path, make it grab references itself spufs: shift dget/mntget towards dentry_open() zoran: don't bother with struct file * in zoran_map ecryptfs: don't reinvent the wheels, please - use struct completion don't expose I_NEW inodes via dentry->d_inode tidy up namei.c a bit unobfuscate follow_up() a bit ext3: pass custom EOF to generic_file_llseek_size() ext4: use core vfs llseek code for dir seeks vfs: allow custom EOF in generic_file_llseek code vfs: Avoid unnecessary WB_SYNC_NONE writeback during sys_sync and reorder sync passes vfs: Remove unnecessary flushing of block devices vfs: Make sys_sync writeout also block device inodes vfs: Create function for iterating over block devices vfs: Reorder operations during sys_sync quota: Move quota syncing to ->sync_fs method quota: Split dquot_quota_sync() to writeback and cache flushing part vfs: Move noop_backing_dev_info check from sync into writeback ...

If platform_get_resource_by_name() fails, driver probe is aborted an should return an error so the driver is not bound to the device. However, in the current error path of platform_get_resource_by_name(), probe returns zero since the return value (ret) is not properly set. With a zero return value, the driver core assumes probe was successful and will bind the driver to the device. Fix this by ensuring that probe returns an error code in this failure path.

Eric Sandeen authored
For ext3/4 htree directories, using the vfs llseek function with SEEK_END goes to i_size like for any other file, but in reality we want the maximum possible hash value. Recent changes in ext4 have cut & pasted generic_file_llseek() back into fs/ext4/dir.c, but replicating this core code seems like a bad idea, especially since the copy has already diverged from the vfs. This patch updates generic_file_llseek_size to accept both a custom maximum offset, and a custom EOF position. With this in place, ext4_dir_llseek can pass in the appropriate maximum hash position for both maxsize and eof, and get what it wants. As far as I know, this does not fix any bugs - nfs in the kernel doesn't use SEEK_END, and I don't know of any user who does. But some ext4 folks seem keen on doing the right thing here, and I can't really argue.

wakeup_flusher_threads(0) will queue work doing complete writeback for each flusher thread. Thus there is not much point in submitting another work doing full inode WB_SYNC_NONE writeback by writeback_inodes_sb(). After this change it does not make sense to call nonblocking ->sync_fs and block device flush before calling sync_inodes_sb() because wakeup_flusher_threads() is completely asynchronous and thus these functions would be called in parallel with inode writeback running which will effectively void any work they do. So we move sync_inodes_sb() call before these two functions. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

It is not necessary to write block devices twice. The reason why we first did flush and then proper sync is that for_each_bdev() { write_bdev() wait_for_completion() } is much slower than for_each_bdev() write_bdev() for_each_bdev() wait_for_completion() when there is bigger amount of data. But as is seen in the above, there's no real need to scan pages and submit them twice. We just need to separate the submission and waiting part. This patch does that.

In case block device does not have filesystem mounted on it, sys_sync will just ignore it and doesn't writeout its dirty pages. This is because writeback code avoids writing inodes from superblock without backing device and blockdev_superblock is such a superblock. Since it's unexpected that sync doesn't writeout dirty data for block devices be nice to users and change the behavior to do so. So now we iterate over all block devices on blockdev_super instead of iterating over all superblocks when syncing block devices.

Since the moment writes to quota files are using block device page cache and space for quota structures is reserved at the moment they are first accessed we have no reason to sync quota before inode writeback. In fact this order is now only harmful since quota information can easily change during inode writeback (either because conversion of delayed-allocated extents or simply because of allocation of new blocks for simple filesystems not using page_mkwrite). So move syncing of quota information after writeback of inodes into ->sync_fs method. This way we do not have to use ->quota_sync callback which is primarily intended for use by quotactl syscall anyway and we get rid of calling ->sync_fs() twice unnecessarily. We skip quota syncing for OCFS2 since it does proper quota journalling in all cases (unlike ext3, ext4, and reiserfs which also support legacy non-journalled quotas) and thus there are no dirty quota structures.

This patch makes UFS stop using the VFS '->write_super()' method along with the 's_dirt' superblock flag, because they are on their way out. The way we implement this is that we schedule a delay job instead relying on 's_dirt' and '->write_super()'. 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 superblocks 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, even if there are no diry superblocks, or there are no client file-systems which would need this (e.g., btrfs does not use '->write_super()'). 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.

I cannot test this patch, because this file-system is so old and probably has not been used by anyone for years, so there are no tools to create it in Linux. But from the code I see that marking the superblock as dirty is basically marking the superblock buffers as drity and then setting the s_dirt flag. And when 'write_super()' is executed to handle the s_dirt flag, we just update the timestamp and again mark the superblock buffer as dirty. Seems pointless. It looks like we can update the timestamp more opprtunistically - on unmount or remount of sync, and nothing should change. Thus, this patch removes 'sysv_write_super()' and 's_dirt'.

We do not need to call 'sysv_write_super()' from 'sysv_remount()', because VFS has called 'sysv_sync_fs()' before calling '->remount()'. So remove it. Remove also '(un)lock_super()' which obvioulsy is becoming useless in this function.
