19e729a928 locks: fix possible infinite loop in fcntl(F_SETLKW) over nfs
Miklos Szeredi found the bug:

	"Basically what happens is that on the server nlm_fopen() calls
	nfsd_open() which returns -EACCES, to which nlm_fopen() returns
	NLM_LCK_DENIED.

	"On the client this will turn into a -EAGAIN (nlm_stat_to_errno()),
	which in will cause fcntl_setlk() to retry forever."

So, for example, opening a file on an nfs filesystem, changing
permissions to forbid further access, then trying to lock the file,
could result in an infinite loop.

And Trond Myklebust identified the culprit, from Marc Eshel and I:

	7723ec9777 "locks: factor out
	generic/filesystem switch from setlock code"

That commit claimed to just be reshuffling code, but actually introduced
a behavioral change by calling the lock method repeatedly as long as it
returned -EAGAIN.

We assumed this would be safe, since we assumed a lock of type SETLKW
would only return with either success or an error other than -EAGAIN.
However, nfs does can in fact return -EAGAIN in this situation, and
independently of whether that behavior is correct or not, we don't
actually need this change, and it seems far safer not to depend on such
assumptions about the filesystem's ->lock method.

Therefore, revert the problematic part of the original commit.  This
leaves vfs_lock_file() and its other callers unchanged, while returning
fcntl_setlk and fcntl_setlk64 to their former behavior.

6c5f3e7b43 Pidns: make full use of xxx_vnr() calls
Some time ago the xxx_vnr() calls (e.g.  pid_vnr or find_task_by_vpid) were
_all_ converted to operate on the current pid namespace.  After this each call
like xxx_nr_ns(foo, current->nsproxy->pid_ns) is nothing but a xxx_vnr(foo)
one.

Switch all the xxx_nr_ns() callers to use the xxx_vnr() calls where
appropriate.

fcntl(F_GETLK,..) can return pid of process for not current pid namespace
(if process is belonged to the several namespaces).  It is true also for
pids in /proc/locks.  So correct behavior is saving pointer to the struct
pid of the process lock owner.

4321e01e7d file locks: Use wait_event_interruptible_timeout()
interruptible_sleep_on_locked() is just an open-coded
wait_event_interruptible_timeout(), with the one difference that
interruptible_sleep_on_locked() doesn't bother to check the condition on
which it is waiting, depending instead on the BKL to avoid the case
where it blocks after the wakeup has already been called.

locks_block_on_timeout() is only used in one place, so it's actually
simpler to inline it into its caller.

b533184fc3 locks: clarify posix_locks_deadlock
For such a short function (with such a long comment),
posix_locks_deadlock() seems to cause a lot of confusion.  Attempt to
make it a bit clearer:

	- Remove the initial posix_same_owner() check, which can never
	  pass (since this is only called in the case that block_fl and
	  caller_fl conflict)
	- Use an explicit loop (and a helper function) instead of a goto.
	- Rewrite the comment, attempting a clearer explanation, and
	  removing some uninteresting historical detail.

97855b49b6 locks: fix possible infinite loop in posix deadlock detection
It's currently possible to send posix_locks_deadlock() into an infinite
loop (under the BKL).

For now, fix this just by bailing out after a few iterations.  We may
want to fix this in a way that better clarifies the semantics of
deadlock detection.  But that will take more time, and this minimal fix
is probably adequate for any realistic scenario, and is simple enough to
be appropriate for applying to stable kernels now.

Thanks to George Davis for reporting the problem.

7f8ada98d9 Rework /proc/locks via seq_files and seq_list helpers
Currently /proc/locks is shown with a proc_read function, but its behavior
is rather complex as it has to manually handle current offset and buffer
length.  On the other hand, files that show objects from lists can be
easily reimplemented using the sequential files and the seq_list_XXX()
helpers.

This saves (as usually) 16 lines of code and more than 200 from
the .text section.

a16877ca9c Cleanup macros for distinguishing mandatory locks
The combination of S_ISGID bit set and S_IXGRP bit unset is used to mark the
inode as "mandatory lockable" and there's a macro for this check called
MANDATORY_LOCK(inode).  However, fs/locks.c and some filesystems still perform
the explicit i_mode checking.  Besides, Andrew pointed out, that this macro is
buggy itself, as it dereferences the inode arg twice.

Convert this macro into static inline function and switch its users to it,
making the code shorter and more readable.

The __mandatory_lock() helper is to be used in places where the IS_MANDLOCK()
for superblock is already known to be true.

    ...
    for (before = ...)
    /* here we found some lease after
     * which we will insert the new one
     */
    fl = locks_alloc_lock();
    /* go to sleep in this allocation and
     * drop the BKL
     */
                                     generic_setlease():

84d535ade6 Memory shortage can result in inconsistent flocks state
When the flock_lock_file() is called to change the flock
from F_RDLCK to F_WRLCK or vice versa the existing flock
can be removed without appropriate warning.

Look:
        for_each_lock(inode, before) {
                struct file_lock *fl = *before;
                if (IS_POSIX(fl))
                        break;
                if (IS_LEASE(fl))
                        continue;
                if (filp != fl->fl_file)
                        continue;
                if (request->fl_type == fl->fl_type)
                        goto out;
                found = 1;
                locks_delete_lock(before); <<<<<< !
                break;
        }

if after this point the subsequent locks_alloc_lock() will
fail the return code will be -ENOMEM, but the existing lock
is already removed.

This is a known feature that such "re-locking" is not atomic,
but in the racy case the file should stay locked (although by
some other process), but in this case the file will be unlocked.

The proposal is to prepare the lock in advance keeping no chance
to fail in the future code.

b842e240f2 locks: reverse order of posix_locks_conflict() arguments
The first argument to posix_locks_conflict() is meant to be a lock request,
and the second a lock from an inode's lock request.  It doesn't really
make a difference which order you call them in, since the only
asymmetric test in posix_lock_conflict() is the check whether the second
argument is a posix lock--and every caller already does that check for
some reason.

But may as well fix posix_test_lock() to call posix_locks_conflict()
with the arguments in the same order as everywhere else.

0e2f6db88a Leases can be hidden by flocks
The inode->i_flock list contains the leases, flocks and posix
locks in the specified order. However, the flocks are added in
the head of this list thus hiding the leases from F_GETLEASE
command, from time_out_leases() and other code that expects
the leases to come first.

The following example will demonstrate this:

#define _GNU_SOURCE

#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/file.h>

static void show_lease(int fd)
{
        int res;

        res = fcntl(fd, F_GETLEASE);
        switch (res) {
                case F_RDLCK:
                        printf("Read lease\n");
                        break;
                case F_WRLCK:
                        printf("Write lease\n");
                        break;
                case F_UNLCK:
                        printf("No leases\n");
                        break;
                default:
                        printf("Some shit\n");
                        break;
        }
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        int fd, res;

        fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY);
        if (fd == -1) {
                perror("Can't open file");
                return 1;
        }

        res = fcntl(fd, F_SETLEASE, F_WRLCK);
        if (res == -1) {
                perror("Can't set lease");
                return 1;
        }

        show_lease(fd);

        if (flock(fd, LOCK_SH) == -1) {
                perror("Can't flock shared");
                return 1;
        }

        show_lease(fd);

        return 0;
}

The first call to show_lease() will show the write lease set, but
the second will show no leases.

Fix the flock adding so that the leases always stay in the head
of this list.

a9933cea7a locks: rename lease functions to reflect locks.c conventions
We've been using the convention that vfs_foo is the function that calls
a filesystem-specific foo method if it exists, or falls back on a
generic method if it doesn't; thus vfs_foo is what is called when some
other part of the kernel (normally lockd or nfsd) wants to get a lock,
whereas foo is what filesystems call to use the underlying local
functionality as part of their lock implementation.

So rename setlease to vfs_setlease (which will call a

129a84de23 locks: fix F_GETLK regression (failure to find conflicts)
In 9d6a8c5c21 we changed posix_test_lock
to modify its single file_lock argument instead of taking separate input
and output arguments.  This makes it no longer safe to set the output
lock's fl_type to F_UNLCK before looking for a conflict, since that
means searching for a conflict against a lock with type F_UNLCK.

This fixes a regression which causes F_GETLK to incorrectly report no
conflict on most filesystems (including any filesystem that doesn't do
its own locking).

Also fix posix_lock_to_flock() to copy the lock type.  This isn't
strictly necessary, since the caller already does this; but it seems
less likely to cause confusion in the future.

Thanks to Doug Chapman for the bug report.

50953fe9e0 slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

2beb6614f5 locks: add fl_grant callback for asynchronous lock return
Acquiring a lock on a cluster filesystem may require communication with
remote hosts, and to avoid blocking lockd or nfsd threads during such
communication, we allow the results to be returned asynchronously.

When a ->lock() call needs to block, the file system will return
-EINPROGRESS, and then later return the results with a call to the
routine in the fl_grant field of the lock_manager_operations struct.

This differs from the case when ->lock returns -EAGAIN to a blocking
lock request; in that case, the filesystem calls fl_notify when the lock
is granted, and the caller retries the original lock.  So while
fl_notify is merely a hint to the caller that it should retry, fl_grant
actually communicates the final result of the lock operation (with the
lock already acquired in the succesful case).

Therefore fl_grant takes a lock, a status and, for the test lock case, a
conflicting lock.  We also allow fl_grant to return an error to the
filesystem, to handle the case where the fl_grant requests arrives after
the lock manager has already given up waiting for it.

9b9d2ab415 locks: add lock cancel command
Lock managers need to be able to cancel pending lock requests.  In the case
where the exported filesystem manages its own locks, it's not sufficient just
to call posix_unblock_lock(); we need to let the filesystem know what's
happening too.

We do this by adding a new fcntl lock command: FL_CANCELLK.  Some day this
might also be made available to userspace applications that could benefit from
an asynchronous locking api.

150b393456 locks: allow {vfs,posix}_lock_file to return conflicting lock
The nfsv4 protocol's lock operation, in the case of a conflict, returns
information about the conflicting lock.

It's unclear how clients can use this, so for now we're not going so far as to
add a filesystem method that can return a conflicting lock, but we may as well
return something in the local case when it's easy to.

3ee17abd14 locks: factor out generic/filesystem switch from test_lock
Factor out the code that switches between generic and filesystem-specific lock
methods; eventually we want to call this from lock managers (lockd and nfsd)
too; currently they only call the generic methods.

This patch does that for test_lock.

Note that this hasn't been necessary until recently, because the few
filesystems that define ->lock() (nfs, cifs...) aren't exportable via NFS.
However GFS (and, in the future, other cluster filesystems) need to implement
their own locking to get cluster-coherent locking, and also want to be able to
export locking to NFS (lockd and NFSv4).

So we accomplish this by factoring out code such as this and exporting it for
the use of lockd and nfsd.
