      gfs2: Trim the ordered write list in gfs2_ordered_write() · 1f23bc78
      Abhi Das authored
      We iterate through the entire ordered writes list in
      gfs2_ordered_write() to write out inodes. It's a good
      place to try and shrink the list by throwing out inodes
      that don't have any pages.

      GFS2: Reduce code redundancy writing log headers · 588bff95
      Bob Peterson authored
      Before this patch, there was a lot of code redundancy between functions
      log_write_header (which uses bio) and clean_journal (which uses
      buffer_head). This patch reduces the redundancy to simplify the code
      and make log header writing more consistent. We want more consistency
      and reduced redundancy because we plan to add a bunch of new fields
      to improve performance (by eliminating the local statfs and quota files)
      improve metadata integrity (by adding new crcs and such) and for better
      debugging (by adding new fields to track when and where metadata was
      pushed through the journals.) We don't want to duplicate setting these
      new fields, nor allow for human error in the process.
      
      This reduction in code redundancy is accomplished by introducing a new
      helper function, gfs2_write_log_header which uses bio rather than bh.
      That simplifies recovery function clean_journal() to use the new helper
      function and iomap rather than redundancy and block_map (and eventually
      we can maybe remove block_map). It also reduces our dependency on
      buffer_heads.

       "More fixes from testing done on the rc kernel, including more SELinux
        testing. Looking forward, lockdep found regression today in ipoib
        which is still being fixed.
      
        Summary:
      
         - Fix for SELinux on the umad SMI path. Some old hardware does not
           fill the PKey properly exposing another bug in the newer SELinux
           code.
      
         - Check the input port as we can exceed array bounds from this user
           supplied value
      
         - Users are unable to use the hash field support as they want due to
           incorrect checks on the field restrictions, correct that so the
           feature works as intended
      
         - User triggerable oops in the NETLINK_RDMA handler
      
         - cxgb4 driver fix for a bad interaction with CQ flushing in iser
           caused by patches in this merge window, and bad CQ flushing during
           normal close.
      
         - Unbalanced memalloc_noio in ipoib in an error path"

      Revert "mm: replace p??_write with pte_access_permitted in fault + gup paths" · f6f37321
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commits 5c9d2d5c, c7da82b8, and e7fe7b5c.
      
      We'll probably need to revisit this, but basically we should not
      complicate the get_user_pages_fast() case, and checking the actual page
      table protection key bits will require more care anyway, since the
      protection keys depend on the exact state of the VM in question.
      
      Particularly when doing a "remote" page lookup (ie in somebody elses VM,
      not your own), you need to be much more careful than this was.  Dave
      Hansen says:
      
       "So, the underlying bug here is that we now a get_user_pages_remote()
        and then go ahead and do the p*_access_permitted() checks against the
        current PKRU. This was introduced recently with the addition of the
        new p??_access_permitted() calls.
      
        We have checks in the VMA path for the "remote" gups and we avoid
        consulting PKRU for them. This got missed in the pkeys selftests
        because I did a ptrace read, but not a *write*. I also didn't
        explicitly test it against something where a COW needed to be done"
      
      It's also not entirely clear that it makes sense to check the protection
      key bits at this level at all.  But one possible eventual solution is to
      make the get_user_pages_fast() case just abort if it sees protection key
      bits set, which makes us fall back to the regular get_user_pages() case,
      which then has a vma and can do the check there if we want to.
      
      We'll see.
      
      Somewhat related to this all: what we _do_ want to do some day is to
      check the PAGE_USER bit - it should obviously always be set for user
      pages, but it would be a good check to have back.  Because we have no
      generic way to test for it, we lost it as part of moving over from the
      architecture-specific x86 GUP implementation to the generic one in
      commit e585513b ("x86/mm/gup: Switch GUP to the generic
      get_user_page_fast() implementation").
