      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull GFS2 updates from Bob Peterson:
 "We've got eight GFS2 patches for this merge window:

   - Andreas Gruenbacher has four patches related to cleaning up the
     GFS2 inode evict process. This is about half of his patches
     designed to fix a long-standing GFS2 hang related to the inode
     shrinker: Shrinker calls gfs2 evict, evict calls DLM, DLM requires
     memory and blocks on the shrinker.

     These four patches have been well tested. His second set of patches
     are still being tested, so I plan to hold them until the next merge
     window, after we have more weeks of testing. The first patch
     eliminates the flush_delayed_work, which can block.

   - Andreas's second patch protects setting of gl_object for rgrps with
     a spin_lock to prevent proven races.

   - His third patch introduces a centralized mechanism for queueing
     glock work with better reference counting, to prevent more races.

    -His fourth patch retains a reference to inode glocks when an error
     occurs while creating an inode. This keeps the subsequent evict
     from needing to reacquire the glock, which might call into DLM and
     block in low memory conditions.

   - Arvind Yadav has a patch to add const to attribute_group
     structures.

   - I have a patch to detect directory entry inconsistencies and
     withdraw the file system if any are found. Better that than silent
     corruption.

   - I have a patch to remove a vestigial variable from glock
     structures, saving some slab space.

   - I have another patch to remove a vestigial variable from the GFS2
     in-core superblock structure"

      Cavium CNN55XX: fix broken default Kconfig entry · b4b8cbf6
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Every developer always thinks that _their_ code is so special and
magical that it should be enabled by default.

And most of them are completely and utterly wrong.  That's definitely
the case when you write a specialty driver for a very unsual "security
processor". It does *not* get to mark itself as "default m".

If you solve world hunger, and make a driver that cures people of
cancer, by all means enable it by default.  But afaik, the Cavium
CNN55XX does neither.

      Pull GCC plugin updates from Kees Cook:
 "The big part is the randstruct plugin infrastructure.

  This is the first of two expected pull requests for randstruct since
  there are dependencies in other trees that would be easier to merge
  once those have landed. Notably, the IPC allocation refactoring in
  -mm, and many trivial merge conflicts across several trees when
  applying the __randomize_layout annotation.

  As a result, it seemed like I should send this now since it is
  relatively self-contained, and once the rest of the trees have landed,
  send the annotation patches. I'm expecting the final phase of
  randstruct (automatic struct selection) will land for v4.14, but if
  its other tree dependencies actually make it for v4.13, I can send
  that merge request too.

      Pull security layer updates from James Morris:

 - a major update for AppArmor. From JJ:

     * several bug fixes and cleanups

     * the patch to add symlink support to securityfs that was floated
       on the list earlier and the apparmorfs changes that make use of
       securityfs symlinks

     * it introduces the domain labeling base code that Ubuntu has been
       carrying for several years, with several cleanups applied. And it
       converts the current mediation over to using the domain labeling
       base, which brings domain stacking support with it. This finally
       will bring the base upstream code in line with Ubuntu and provide
       a base to upstream the new feature work that Ubuntu carries.

     * This does _not_ contain any of the newer apparmor mediation
       features/controls (mount, signals, network, keys, ...) that
       Ubuntu is currently carrying, all of which will be RFC'd on top
       of this.

 - Notable also is the Infiniband work in SELinux, and the new file:map
   permission. From Paul:

      "While we're down to 21 patches for v4.13 (it was 31 for v4.12),
       the diffstat jumps up tremendously with over 2k of line changes.

       Almost all of these changes are the SELinux/IB work done by
       Daniel Jurgens; some other noteworthy changes include a NFS v4.2
       labeling fix, a new file:map permission, and reporting of policy
       capabilities on policy load"

   There's also now genfscon labeling support for tracefs, which was
   lost in v4.1 with the separation from debugfs.

 - Smack incorporates a safer socket check in file_receive, and adds a
   cap_capable call in privilege check.

 - TPM as usual has a bunch of fixes and enhancements.

 - Multiple calls to security_add_hooks() can now be made for the same
   LSM, to allow LSMs to have hook declarations across multiple files.

 - IMA now supports different "ima_appraise=" modes (eg. log, fix) from
   the boot command line.

      GFS2: constify attribute_group structures. · 29695254
      Arvind Yadav authored 
      attribute_groups are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions
working with attribute_groups provided by <linux/sysfs.h> work with const
attribute_group. So mark the non-const structs as const.

      gfs2: gfs2_create_inode: Keep glock across iput · e0b62e21
      Andreas Gruenbacher authored 
      On failure, keep the inode glock across the final iput of the new inode
so that gfs2_evict_inode doesn't have to re-acquire the glock.  That
way, gfs2_evict_inode won't need to revalidate the block type.

      gfs2: Get rid of flush_delayed_work in gfs2_evict_inode · 4fd1a579
      Andreas Gruenbacher authored 
      So far, gfs2_evict_inode clears gl->gl_object and then flushes the glock
work queue to make sure that inode glops which dereference gl->gl_object
have finished running before the inode is destroyed.  However, flushing
the work queue may do more work than needed, and in particular, it may
call into DLM, which we want to avoid here.  Use a bit lock
(GIF_GLOP_PENDING) to synchronize between the inode glops and
gfs2_evict_inode instead to get rid of the flushing.

In addition, flush the work queues of existing glocks before reusing
them for new inodes to get those glocks into a known state: the glock
state engine currently doesn't handle glock re-appropriation correctly.
(We may be able to fix the glock state engine instead later.)

Based on a patch by Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>.
