struct pagemap_walk was placed on stack, some hooks are initialized, the
rest (->pgd_entry, ->pud_entry, ->pte_entry) are valid but junk.

The Linux kernel puts the filename argument of execve() into the new
address space. Many developers are surprised to learn this. Those who
know and could use it, object "But it's not documented."
Those who want to use it dislike the expression
(char *)(1+ strlen(env[-1+ n_env]) + env[-1+ n_env])
because it requires locating the last original environment variable,
and assumes that the filename follows the characters.
This patch documents the insertion of the filename, and makes it easier
to find by adding a new tag AT_EXECFN in the ElfXX_auxv_t; see <elf.h>.
In many cases readlink("/proc/self/exe",) gives the same answer. But if
all the original pages get unmapped, then the kernel erases the symlink
for /proc/self/exe. This can happen when a program decompressor does a
good job of cleaning up after uncompressing directly to memory, so that
the address space of the target program looks the same as if compression
had never happened. One example is http://upx.sourceforge.net .
One notable use of the underlying concept (what path containED the
executable) is glibc expanding $ORIGIN in DT_RUNPATH. In practice for
the near term, it may be a good idea for user-mode code to use both
/proc/self/exe and AT_EXECFN as fall-back methods for each other.
/proc/self/exe can fail due to unmapping, AT_EXECFN can fail because it
won't be present on non-new systems. The auxvec or {AT_EXECFN}.d_val
also can get overwritten, although in nearly all cases this would be the
result of a bug.
The runtime cost is one NEW_AUX_ENT using two words of stack space. The
underlying value is maintained already as bprm->exec; setup_arg_pages()
in fs/exec.c slides it for stack_shift, etc.

Move the line disciplines towards a conventional ->ops arrangement. For
the moment the actual 'tty_ldisc' struct in the tty is kept as part of
the tty struct but this can then be changed if it turns out that when it
all settles down we want to refcount ldiscs separately to the tty.
Pull the ldisc code out of /proc and put it with our ldisc code.

The configfs operations ->make_item() and ->make_group() currently
return a new item/group. A return of NULL signifies an error. Because
of this, -ENOMEM is the only return code bubbled up the stack.
Multiple folks have requested the ability to return specific error codes
when these operations fail. This patch adds that ability by changing the
->make_item/group() ops to return ERR_PTR() values. These errors are
bubbled up appropriately. NULL returns are changed to -ENOMEM for
compatibility.
Also updated are the in-kernel users of configfs.
This is a rework of reverted commit 11c3b79218390a139f2d474ee1e983a672d5839a.

[PATCH 1/2] ocfs2: Add CONFIG_OCFS2_FS_STATS config option
|
|
This patch fixes a mmap_truncate bug which was found by ocfs2 test suite.
In an ocfs2 cluster more than 1 node, run program mmap_truncate, which races
mmap writes and truncates from multiple processes. While the test is
running, a stat from another node forces writeout, causing an oops in
ocfs2_get_block() because it sees a buffer to write which isn't allocated.
This patch fixed the bug by clear dirty and uptodate bits in buffer, leave
the buffer unmapped and return.
Fix is suggested by Mark Fasheh, and I code up the patch.

All dentry-related operations are already BKL-safe, since they are
protected by the VFS locking. No extra locks should be needed in the NFS
code.
In the case of nfs_revalidate_inode(), we're only doing an attribute
update (protected by the inode->i_lock).
In the case of nfs_lookup(), we're instantiating a new dentry, so there
should be no contention possible until after we call d_materialise_unique.

The main problem is dealing with inode->i_size: we need to set the
inode->i_lock on all attribute updates, and so vmtruncate won't cut it.
Make an NFS-private version of vmtruncate that has the necessary locking
semantics.
The result should be that the following inode attribute updates are
protected by inode->i_lock
nfsi->cache_validity
nfsi->read_cache_jiffies
nfsi->attrtimeo
nfsi->attrtimeo_timestamp
nfsi->change_attr

fcntl(F_GETLK) on an nfs client incorrectly returns
the values for the conflicting lock. fl_len value is
always 1.
If the conflicting lock is (0, 4095) the F_GETLK
request for (1024, 10) returns (0, 1), which doesn't
even cover the requested range, and is quite confusing.
The fix is trivial, set fl_end from the fl_end value
recieved from the nfs server.

It may not be obvious (till you look at the definition of
nlm_alloc_call()) that a function like nlmsvc_create_block() should
consume a reference on success or failure, so I find it clearer if it
takes the reference it needs itself.
And both callers already do this immediately before the call anyway.

nlmsvc_lock calls nlmsvc_lookup_host to find a nlm_host struct. The
callers of this function, however, call nlmsvc_retrieve_args or
nlm4svc_retrieve_args, which also return a nlm_host struct.
Change nlmsvc_lock to take a host arg instead of calling
nlmsvc_lookup_host itself and change the callers to pass a pointer to
the nlm_host they've already found.
Since nlmsvc_testlock() now just uses the caller's reference, we no
longer need to get or release it.
