3270958b71 [CIFS] undo changes in cifs_rename_pending_delete if it errors out
The cifs_rename_pending_delete process involves multiple steps. If it
fails and we're going to return error, we don't want to leave things in
a half-finished state. Add code to the function to undo changes if
a call fails.

dd1db2dedc cifs: don't use CREATE_DELETE_ON_CLOSE in cifs_rename_pending_delete
cifs: don't use CREATE_DELETE_ON_CLOSE in cifs_rename_pending_delete

CREATE_DELETE_ON_CLOSE apparently has different semantics than when you
set the DELETE_ON_CLOSE bit after opening the file. Setting it in the
open says "delete this file as soon as this filehandle is closed". That's
not what we want for cifs_rename_pending_delete.

Don't set this bit in the CreateFlags. Experimentation shows that
setting this flag in the SET_FILE_INFO call has no effect.

469ee614aa [CIFS] eliminate usage of kthread_stop for cifsd
When cifs_demultiplex_thread was converted to a kthread based kernel
thread, great pains were taken to make it so that kthread_stop would be
used to bring it down. This just added unnecessary complexity since we
needed to use a signal anyway to break out of kernel_recvmsg.

Also, cifs_demultiplex_thread does a bit of cleanup as it's exiting, and
we need to be certain that this gets done. It's possible for a kthread
to exit before its main function is ever run if kthread_stop is called
soon after its creation. While I'm not sure that this is a real problem
with cifsd now, it could be at some point in the future if cifs_mount is
ever changed to bring down the thread quickly.

The upshot here is that using kthread_stop to bring down the thread just
adds extra complexity with no real benefit. This patch changes the code
to use the original method to bring down the thread, but still leaves it
so that the thread is actually started with kthread_run.

This seems to fix the deadlock caused by the reproducer in this bug
report:

2c1b861539 [CIFS] Add nodfs mount option
Older samba server (eg. 3.0.24 from Debian etch) don't work correctly,
if DFS paths are used. Such server claim that they support DFS, but fail
to process some requests with DFS paths. Starting with Linux 2.6.26,
the cifs clients starts sending DFS paths in such situations, rendering
it unuseable with older samba servers.

The nodfs mount options forces a share to be used with non DFS paths,
even if the server claims, that it supports it.

a447c09324 vfs: Use const for kernel parser table
This is a much better version of a previous patch to make the parser
tables constant. Rather than changing the typedef, we put the "const" in
all the various places where its required, allowing the __initconst
exception for nfsroot which was the cause of the previous trouble.

This was posted for review some time ago and I believe its been in -mm

5bf5683a33 ext4: add an option to control error handling on file data
If the journal doesn't abort when it gets an IO error in file data
blocks, the file data corruption will spread silently.  Because
most of applications and commands do buffered writes without fsync(),
they don't notice the IO error.  It's scary for mission critical
systems.  On the other hand, if the journal aborts whenever it gets
an IO error in file data blocks, the system will easily become
inoperable.  So this patch introduces a filesystem option to
determine whether it aborts the journal or just call printk() when
it gets an IO error in file data.

If you mount an ext4 fs with data_err=abort option, it aborts on file
data write error.  If you mount it with data_err=ignore, it doesn't
abort, just call printk().  data_err=ignore is the default.

Here is the corresponding patch of the ext3 version:

7ad7445f60 jbd2: don't dirty original metadata buffer on abort
Currently, original metadata buffers are dirtied when they are
unfiled whether the journal has aborted or not.  Eventually these
buffers will be written-back to the filesystem by pdflush.  This
means some metadata buffers are written to the filesystem without
journaling if the journal aborts.  So if both journal abort and
system crash happen at the same time, the filesystem would become
inconsistent state.  Additionally, replaying journaled metadata
can overwrite the latest metadata on the filesystem partly.
Because, if the journal gets aborted, journaled metadata are
preserved and replayed during the next mount not to lose
uncheckpointed metadata.  This would also break the consistency
of the filesystem.

This patch prevents original metadata buffers from being dirtied
on abort by clearing BH_JBDDirty flag from those buffers.  Thus,
no metadata buffers are written to the filesystem without journaling.

7ffe1ea894 ext4: add checks for errors from jbd2
If the journal has aborted due to a checkpointing failure, we
have to keep the contents of the journal space.  Otherwise, the
filesystem will lose uncheckpointed metadata completely and
become inconsistent.  To avoid this, we need to keep needs_recovery
flag if checkpoint has failed.

With this patch, ext4_put_super() detects a checkpointing failure
from the return value of journal_destroy(), then it invokes
ext4_abort() to make the filesystem read only and keep
needs_recovery flag.  Errors from jbd2_journal_flush() are also
handled by this patch in some places.

44519faf22 jbd2: fix error handling for checkpoint io
When a checkpointing IO fails, current JBD2 code doesn't check the
error and continue journaling.  This means latest metadata can be
lost from both the journal and filesystem.

This patch leaves the failed metadata blocks in the journal space
and aborts journaling in the case of jbd2_log_do_checkpoint().
To achieve this, we need to do:

1. don't remove the failed buffer from the checkpoint list where in
   the case of __try_to_free_cp_buf() because it may be released or
   overwritten by a later transaction
2. jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() is the last chance, remove the failed
   buffer from the checkpoint list and abort the journal
3. when checkpointing fails, don't update the journal super block to
   prevent the journaled contents from being cleaned.  For safety,
   don't update j_tail and j_tail_sequence either
4. when checkpointing fails, notify this error to the ext4 layer so
   that ext4 don't clear the needs_recovery flag, otherwise the
   journaled contents are ignored and cleaned in the recovery phase
5. if the recovery fails, keep the needs_recovery flag
6. prevent jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() from being called between
   __jbd2_journal_drop_transaction() and jbd2_journal_abort()
   (a possible race issue between jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()s called by
   jbd2_journal_flush() and __jbd2_log_wait_for_space())

77e841de8a jbd2: abort when failed to log metadata buffers
If we failed to write metadata buffers to the journal space and
succeeded to write the commit record, stale data can be written
back to the filesystem as metadata in the recovery phase.

To avoid this, when we failed to write out metadata buffers,
abort the journal before writing the commit record.

We can also avoid this kind of corruption by using the journal
checksum feature because it can detect invalid metadata blocks in the
journal and avoid them from being replayed.  So we don't need to care
about asynchronous commit record writeout with a checksum.

for buffers where the barrier failed, but also the first buffer of a
split log write in case of a log wraparound.  Due to the disabled
barriers we can easily get directory corruption on unclean shutdowns.
So instead of using this check add a new buffer flag for failed barrier
writes.

This is a regression vs 2.6.26 caused by patch to use the right macro
to check for the ORDERED flag, as we previously got true returned for
every buffer.

Thanks to Toei Rei for reporting the bug.

sysctl stopped being relevant because commit moved security checks from ->show

a6bebbc87a [PATCH] signal, procfs: some lock_task_sighand() users do not need rcu_read_lock()
lock_task_sighand() make sure task->sighand is being protected,
so we do not need rcu_read_lock().
[ exec() will get task->sighand->siglock before change task->sighand! ]

But code using rcu_read_lock() _just_ to protect lock_task_sighand()
only appear in procfs. (and some code in procfs use lock_task_sighand()
without such redundant protection.)

Other subsystem may put lock_task_sighand() into rcu_read_lock()
critical region, but these rcu_read_lock() are used for protecting
"for_each_process()", "find_task_by_vpid()" etc. , not for protecting
lock_task_sighand().

300b994b74 proc: fix return value of proc_reg_open() in "too late" case
If ->open() wasn't called, returning 0 is misleading and, theoretically,
oopsable:
1) remove_proc_entry clears ->proc_fops, drops lock,
2) ->open "succeeds",
3) ->release oopses, because it assumes ->open was called (single_release()).

efc968d450 Don't allow splice() to files opened with O_APPEND
This is debatable, but while we're debating it, let's disallow the
combination of splice and an O_APPEND destination.

It's not entirely clear what the semantics of O_APPEND should be, and
POSIX apparently expects pwrite() to ignore O_APPEND, for example.  So
we could make up any semantics we want, including the old ones.

But Miklos convinced me that we should at least give it some thought,
and that accepting writes at arbitrary offsets is wrong at least for
IS_APPEND() files (which always have O_APPEND set, even if the reverse
isn't true: you can obviously have O_APPEND set on a regular file).

So disallow O_APPEND entirely for now.  I doubt anybody cares, and this
way we have one less gray area to worry about.

6feef531f5 block: mark bio_split_pool static
Since all bio_split calls refer the same single bio_split_pool, the bio_split
function can use bio_split_pool directly instead of the mempool_t parameter;

then the mempool_t parameter can be removed from bio_split param list, and
bio_split_pool is only referred in fs/bio.c file, can be marked static.
