bfa890a3cd Fix number parsing in cifs_parse_mount_options
The function kstrtoul() used to parse number strings in the mount
option parser is set to expect a base 10 number . This treats the octal
numbers passed for mount options such as file_mode as base10 numbers
leading to incorrect behavior.

Change the 'base' argument passed to kstrtoul from 10 to 0 to
allow it to auto-detect the base of the number passed.

d53ba47484 Btrfs: use commit root when loading free space cache
A user reported that booting his box up with btrfs root on 3.4 was way
slower than on 3.3 because I removed the ideal caching code.  It turns out
that we don't load the free space cache if we're in a commit for deadlock
reasons, but since we're reading the cache and it hasn't changed yet we are
safe reading the inode and free space item from the commit root, so do that
and remove all of the deadlock checks so we don't unnecessarily skip loading
the free space cache.  The user reported this fixed the slowness.  Thanks,

3a198886ab sysfs: handle 'parent deleted before child added'
In scsi at least two cases of the parent device being deleted before the
child is added have been observed.

1/ scsi is performing async scans and the device is removed prior to the
   async can thread running (can happen with an in-opportune / unlikely
   unplug during initial scan).

2/ libsas discovery event running after the parent port has been torn
   down (this is a bug in libsas).

Result in crash signatures like:

In this scenario the parent is still valid (because we have a
reference), but it has been device_del()'d which means its kobj->sd
pointer is NULL'd via:

 device_del()->kobject_del()->sysfs_remove_dir()

...and then sysfs_create_dir() (without this fix) goes ahead and
de-references parent_sd via sysfs_ns_type():

 return (sd->s_flags & SYSFS_NS_TYPE_MASK) >> SYSFS_NS_TYPE_SHIFT;

This scenario is being fixed in scsi/libsas, but if other subsystems
present the same ordering the system need not immediately crash.

ca9248d833 GFS2: Allow caching of rindex glock
This patch allows caching of the rindex glock. We were previously
setting the GL_NOCACHE bit when the glock was released. That forced
the rindex inode to be invalidated, which caused us to re-read
rindex at the next access. However, it caused the glock to be
unnecessarily bounced around the cluster. This patch allows
the glock to remain cached, but it still causes the rindex to be
re-read once it has been written to by gfs2_grow.

Ben and I have tested single-node gfs2_grow cases and I've tested
clustered gfs2_grow cases on my four-node cluster.

640946f203 dentry leak in simple_fill_super() failure exit
d_genocide() does _not_ evict dentries; it just removes extra ref
pinning each of those.  Normally it's followed by shrinking the
tree (it's done just before generic_shutdown_super() by kill_litter_super()),
but in case of simple_fill_super() nothing of that kind will follow.
Just do shrink_dcache_parent() manually.

f68e556e23 Make the "word-at-a-time" helper functions more commonly usable
I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
them.  This is preparation for that.

This moves them into an architecture-specific header file.  It's
architecture-specific for two reasons:

 - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
   implementations.  Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
   the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
   likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
   is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
   bit count instruction, for example.

 - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
   around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
   particular the actual unaligned accesses).  So we're likely to have
   more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
   this.

   (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
   this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
   right thing to do, of course)

    Hutchings.

 3) Compile warning, locking, and refcounting fixes in netfilter's
    xt_CT, from Pablo Neira Ayuso.

 4) phonet sendmsg needs to validate user length just like any other
    datagram protocol, fix from Sasha Levin.

 5) Ipv6 multicast code uses wrong loop index, from RongQing Li.

 6) Link handling and firmware fixes in bnx2x driver from Yaniv Rosner
    and Yuval Mintz.

 7) mlx4 erroneously allocates 4 pages at a time, regardless of page
    size, fix from Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo.

 8) SCTP socket option wasn't extended in a backwards compatible way,
    fix from Thomas Graf.

 9) Add missing address change event emissions to bonding, from Shlomo
    Pongratz.

10) /proc/net/dev regressed because it uses a private offset to track
    where we are in the hash table, but this doesn't track the offset
    pullback that the seq_file code does resulting in some entries being
    missed in large dumps.

    Fix from Eric Dumazet.

11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it
    invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't.  Let the natural sequence
    generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE
    settings, guide the tcp_push() calls.

    Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch
    effectively into GSO/TSO clusters.

    From Eric Dumazet.

12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a
    socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we
    cannot touch it after queueing it like that.

    Fixes from Eric Dumazet.

13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it
    immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer
    to transmit the PPP frame.

    But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the
    TX queue right before returning from the transmit method.

    Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
    particular things like the equalizers.  Well behaved devices should
    only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
    when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.

    David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until
    it's downstream can't take data any more.

14) IFF_UNICAST_FLT got accidently lost in some recent stmmac driver
    changes, re-add.  From Marc Kleine-Budde.

15) Fix link flaps in ixgbe, from Eric W. Multanen.

16) Descriptor writeback fixes in e1000e from Matthew Vick.

35f9c09fe9 tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once
commit 2f53384424 (tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packets) added
a regression for splice() calls using SPLICE_F_MORE.

We need to call tcp_flush() at the end of the last page processed in
tcp_sendpages(), or else transmits can be deferred and future sends
stall.

Add a new internal flag, MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, acting like MSG_MORE, but
with different semantic.

For all sendpage() providers, its a transparent change. Only
sock_sendpage() and tcp_sendpages() can differentiate the two different
flags provided by pipe_to_sendpage()

Merge batch of fixes from Andrew Morton:
 "The simple_open() cleanup was held back while I wanted for laggards to
  merge things.

  I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches.  I've been
  wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall
  prospects for success of the project.  But after speaking with Pavel
  at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward
  completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped

  and re-review those patchs and their (lengthy) discussion."

234e340582 simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open()
Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when
they want to support a custom read/write function op.  This leads to a
proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire
tree.

Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we
can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().

This replacement was done with the following semantic patch:

<smpl>
@ open @
identifier open_f != simple_open;
identifier i, f;
@@
-int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f)
-{
(
-if (i->i_private)
-f->private_data = i->i_private;
|
-f->private_data = i->i_private;
)
-return 0;
-}

@ has_open depends on open @
identifier fops;
identifier open.open_f;
@@
struct file_operations fops = {
...
-.open = open_f,
+.open = simple_open,
...
};
</smpl>

20955e891d libfs: add simple_open()
debugfs and a few other drivers use an open-coded version of
simple_open() to pass a pointer from the file to the read/write file
ops.  Add support for this simple case to libfs so that we can remove
the many duplicate copies of this simple function.

7563ec4c21 hugetlbfs: remove unregister_filesystem() when initializing module
It was introduced by d1d5e05ffd ("hugetlbfs: return error code when
initializing module") but as Al pointed out, is a bad idea.

Quoted comments from Al:
 "Note that unregister_filesystem() in module init is *always* wrong;
  it's not an issue here (it's done too early to care about and
  realistically the box is not going anywhere - it'll panic when attempt
  to exec /sbin/init fails, if not earlier), but it's a damn bad
  example.

  Consider a normal fs module.  Somebody loads it and in parallel with
  that we get a mount attempt on that fs type.  It comes between
  register and failure exits that causes unregister; at that point we
  are screwed since grabbing a reference to module as done by mount is
  enough to prevent exit, but not to prevent the failure of init.  As
  the result, module will get freed when init fails, mounted fs of that
  type be damned."

So remove it.

This allocation can be as large as 64k.  As David points out, "falling
back to vmalloc here is much better solution than failing to retreive
the attribute - it will work no matter how fragmented memory gets.  That
means we don't get incomplete backups occurring after days or months of
uptime and successful backups".

99663be772 proc: fix mount -t proc -o AAA
The proc_parse_options() call from proc_mount() runs only once at boot
time.  So on any later mount attempt, any mount options are ignored
because ->s_root is already initialized.

As a consequence, "mount -o <options>" will ignore the options.  The
only way to change mount options is "mount -o remount,<options>".

To fix this, parse the mount options unconditionally.

66189be74f CIFS: Fix VFS lock usage for oplocked files
We can deadlock if we have a write oplock and two processes
use the same file handle. In this case the first process can't
unlock its lock if the second process blocked on the lock in the
same time.

Fix it by using posix_lock_file rather than posix_lock_file_wait
under cinode->lock_mutex. If we request a blocking lock and
posix_lock_file indicates that there is another lock that prevents
us, wait untill that lock is released and restart our call.
