Tao Ma 811f933df1 ocfs2: Use ocfs2_extent_list instead of ocfs2_dinode.
ocfs2_extend_meta_needed(), ocfs2_calc_extend_credits() and
ocfs2_reserve_new_metadata() are all useful for extent tree operations. But
they are all limited to an inode btree because they use a struct
ocfs2_dinode parameter. Change their parameter to struct ocfs2_extent_list
(the part of an ocfs2_dinode they actually use) so that the xattr btree code
can use these functions.

Tao Ma 231b87d109 ocfs2: Modify ocfs2_num_free_extents for future xattr usage.
ocfs2_num_free_extents() is used to find the number of free extent records
in an inode btree. Hence, it takes an "ocfs2_dinode" parameter. We want to
use this for extended attribute trees in the future, so genericize the
interface the take a buffer head. A future patch will allow that buffer_head
to contain any structure rooting an ocfs2 btree.

Mark Fasheh 9a8ff578fb ocfs2: track local alloc state via debugfs
A per-mount debugfs file, "local_alloc" is created which when read will
expose live state of the nodes local alloc file. Performance impact is
minimal, only a bit of memory overhead per mount point. Still, the code is
hidden behind CONFIG_OCFS2_FS_STATS. This feature will help us debug
local alloc performance problems on a live system.

Mark Fasheh 9c7af40b21 ocfs2: throttle back local alloc when low on disk space
Ocfs2's local allocator disables itself for the duration of a mount point
when it has trouble allocating a large enough area from the primary bitmap.
That can cause performance problems, especially for disks which were only
temporarily full or fragmented. This patch allows for the allocator to
shrink it's window first, before being disabled. Later, it can also be
re-enabled so that any performance drop is minimized.

To do this, we allow the value of osb->local_alloc_bits to be shrunk when
needed. The default value is recorded in a mostly read-only variable so that
we can re-initialize when required.

Locking had to be updated so that we could protect changes to
local_alloc_bits. Mostly this involves protecting various local alloc values
with the osb spinlock. A new state is also added, OCFS2_LA_THROTTLED, which
is used when the local allocator is has shrunk, but is not disabled. If the
available space dips below 1 megabyte, the local alloc file is disabled. In
either case, local alloc is re-enabled 30 seconds after the event, or when
an appropriate amount of bits is seen in the primary bitmap.

Mark Fasheh 53da4939f3 ocfs2: POSIX file locks support
This is actually pretty easy since fs/dlm already handles the bulk of the
work. The Ocfs2 userspace cluster stack module already uses fs/dlm as the
underlying lock manager, so I only had to add the right calls.

Cluster-aware POSIX locks ("plocks") can be turned off by the same means at
UNIX locks - mount with 'noflocks', or create a local-only Ocfs2 volume.
Internally, the file system uses two sets of file_operations, depending on
whether cluster aware plocks is required. This turns out to be easier than
implementing local-only versions of ->lock.

This is a much better version of a previous patch to make the parser

Hidehiro Kawai 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:

Hidehiro Kawai 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.

Hidehiro Kawai 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.

Hidehiro Kawai 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())

Hidehiro Kawai 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.

Christoph Hellwig 73f6aa4d44 Fix barrier fail detection in XFS
Currently we disable barriers as soon as we get a buffer in xlog_iodone
that has the XBF_ORDERED flag cleared.  But this can be the case not only
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.

"restrict reading from /proc/<pid>/maps to those who share ->mm or can ptrace"
sysctl stopped being relevant because commit moved security checks from ->show

Lai Jiangshan 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().

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()).

Linus Torvalds 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.

Denis ChengRq 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.
