The CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN variant of setup_arg_pages() does not
check the size of the argument/environment area on the stack.
When it is unworkably large, shift_arg_pages() hits its BUG_ON.
This is exploitable with a very large RLIMIT_STACK limit, to
create a crash pretty easily.
Check that the initial stack is not too large to make it possible
to map in any executable. We're not checking that the actual
executable (or intepreter, for binfmt_elf) will fit. So those
mappings might clobber part of the initial stack mapping. But
that is just userland lossage that userland made happen, not a
kernel problem.

The XFS_IOC_FSGETXATTR ioctl allows unprivileged users to read 12
bytes of uninitialized stack memory, because the fsxattr struct
declared on the stack in xfs_ioc_fsgetxattr() does not alter (or zero)
the 12-byte fsx_pad member before copying it back to the user. This
patch takes care of it.

Commit 74641f584da ("alpha: binfmt_aout fix") (May 2009) introduced a
regression - binfmt_misc is now consulted after binfmt_elf, which will
unfortunately break ia32el. ia32 ELF binaries on ia64 used to be matched
using binfmt_misc and executed using wrapper. As 32bit binaries are now
matched by binfmt_elf before bindmt_misc kicks in, the wrapper is ignored.
The fix increases precedence of binfmt_misc to the original state.

commit c2c6ca4 (direct-io: do not merge logically non-contiguous requests)
introduced a bug whereby all O_DIRECT I/Os were submitted a page at a time
to the block layer. The problem is that the code expected
dio->block_in_file to correspond to the current page in the dio. In fact,
it corresponds to the previous page submitted via submit_page_section.
This was purely an oversight, as the dio->cur_page_fs_offset field was
introduced for just this purpose. This patch simply uses the correct
variable when calculating whether there is a mismatch between contiguous
logical blocks and contiguous physical blocks (as described in the
comments).
I also switched the if conditional following this check to an else if, to
ensure that we never call dio_bio_submit twice for the same dio (in
theory, this should not happen, anyway).
I've tested this by running blktrace and verifying that a 64KB I/O was
submitted as a single I/O. I also ran the patched kernel through
xfstests' aio tests using xfs, ext4 (with 1k and 4k block sizes) and btrfs
and verified that there were no regressions as compared to an unpatched
kernel.

cifs_demultiplex_thread sets the addr.sockAddr.sin_port without any
regard for the socket family. While it may be that the error in question
here never occurs on an IPv6 socket, it's probably best to be safe and

If the tcpStatus is still CifsNew, the main cifs_demultiplex_loop can
break out prematurely in some cases. This is wrong as we will almost
always have other structures with pointers to the TCP_Server_Info. If
the main loop breaks under any other condition other than tcpStatus ==
CifsExiting, then it'll face a use-after-free situation.
I don't see any reason to treat a CifsNew tcpStatus differently than
CifsGood. I believe we'll still want to attempt to reconnect in either
case. What should happen in those situations is that the MIDs get marked
as MID_RETRY_NEEDED. This will make CIFSSMBNegotiate return -EAGAIN, and
then the caller can retry the whole thing on a newly reconnected socket.
If that fails again in the same way, the caller of cifs_get_smb_ses
should tear down the TCP_Server_Info struct.

When cifs_demultiplex_thread exits, it does a number of cleanup tasks
including freeing the TCP_Server_Info struct. Much of the existing code
in cifs assumes that when there is a cisfSesInfo struct, that it holds a
reference to a valid TCP_Server_Info struct.
We can never allow cifsd to exit when a cifsSesInfo struct is still
holding a reference to the server. The server pointers will then point
to freed memory.
This patch eliminates a couple of questionable conditions where it does
this. The idea here is to make an -EINTR return from kernel_recvmsg
behave the same way as -ERESTARTSYS or -EAGAIN. If the task was
signalled from cifs_put_tcp_session, then tcpStatus will be CifsExiting,
and the kernel_recvmsg call will return quickly.
There's also another condition where this can occur too -- if the
tcpStatus is still in CifsNew, then it will also exit if the server
closes the socket prematurely. I think we'll probably also need to fix
that situation, but that requires a bit more consideration.

ocfs2_create_inode_in_orphan() is used by reflink to create the newly
reflinked inode simultaneously in the orphan dir. This allows us to easily
handle partially-reflinked files during recovery cleanup.
We have a problem though - the orphan dir stringifies inode # to determine
a unique name under which the orphan entry dirent can be created. Since
ocfs2_create_inode_in_orphan() needs the space allocated in the orphan dir
before it can allocate the inode, we currently call into the orphan code:
/*
* We give the orphan dir the root blkno to fake an orphan name,
* and allocate enough space for our insertion.
*/
status = ocfs2_prepare_orphan_dir(osb, &orphan_dir,
osb->root_blkno,
orphan_name, &orphan_insert);
Using osb->root_blkno might work fine on unindexed directories, but the
orphan dir can have an index. When it has that index, the above code fails
to allocate the proper index entry. Later, when we try to remove the file
from the orphan dir (using the actual inode #), the reflink operation will
fail.
To fix this, I created a function ocfs2_alloc_orphaned_file() which uses the
newly split out orphan and inode alloc code to figure out what the inode
block number will be (once allocated) and then prepare the orphan dir from
that data.

This allows code which needs to know the eventual block number of an inode
but can't allocate it yet due to transaction or lock ordering. For example,
ocfs2_create_inode_in_orphan() currently gives a junk blkno for preparation
of the orphan dir because it can't yet know where the actual inode is placed
- that code is actually in ocfs2_mknod_locked. This is a problem when the
orphan dirs are indexed as the junk inode number will create an index entry
which goes unused (and fails the later removal from the orphan dir). Now
with these interfaces, ocfs2_create_inode_in_orphan() can run the block
group search (and get back the inode block number) *before* any actual
allocation occurs.

For local mounts, ocfs2_read_locked_inode() calls ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() to
read the inode off the disk. The latter first checks to see if that block is
cached in the journal, and, if so, returns that block. That is ok.
But ocfs2_read_locked_inode() goes wrong when it tries to validate the checksum
of such blocks. Blocks that are cached in the journal may not have had their
checksum computed as yet. We should not validate the checksums of such blocks.

Sanity check the flags passed to change_mnt_propagation(). Exactly
one flag should be set. Return EINVAL otherwise.
Userspace can pass in arbitrary combinations of MS_* flags to mount().
do_change_type() is called if any of MS_SHARED, MS_PRIVATE, MS_SLAVE,
or MS_UNBINDABLE is set. do_change_type() clears MS_REC and then
calls change_mnt_propagation() with the rest of the user-supplied
flags. change_mnt_propagation() clearly assumes only one flag is set
but do_change_type() does not check that this is true. For example,
mount() with flags MS_SHARED | MS_RDONLY does not actually make the
mount shared or read-only but does clear MNT_UNBINDABLE.

David Bartly reported that fuse can hang in fuse_get_req_nofail() when
the connection to the filesystem server is no longer active.
If bg_queue is not empty then flush_bg_queue() called from
request_end() can put more requests on to the pending queue. If this
happens while ending requests on the processing queue then those
background requests will be queued to the pending list and never
ended.
Another problem is that fuse_dev_release() didn't wake up processes
sleeping on blocked_waitq.
Solve this by:
a) flushing the background queue before calling end_requests() on the
pending and processing queues
b) setting blocked = 0 and waking up processes waiting on
blocked_waitq()

In xfs_vn_fiemap, we set bvm_count to fi_extent_max + 1 and want
to return fi_extent_max extents, but actually it won't work for
a sparse file. The reason is that in xfs_getbmap we will
calculate holes and set it in 'out', while out is malloced by
bmv_count(fi_extent_max+1) which didn't consider holes. So in the
worst case, if 'out' vector looks like
[hole, extent, hole, extent, hole, ... hole, extent, hole],
we will only return half of fi_extent_max extents.
This patch add a new parameter BMV_IF_NO_HOLES for bvm_iflags.
So with this flags, we don't use our 'out' in xfs_getbmap for
a hole. The solution is a bit ugly by just don't increasing
index of 'out' vector. I felt that it is not easy to skip it
at the very beginning since we have the complicated check and
some function like xfs_getbmapx_fix_eof_hole to adjust 'out'.

When doing large parallel file creates on a 16p machines, large amounts of
time is being spent in _xfs_buf_find(). A system wide profile with perf top
shows this:
1134740.00 19.3% _xfs_buf_find
733142.00 12.5% __ticket_spin_lock
The problem is that the hash contains 45,000 buffers, and the hash table width
is only 256 buffers. That means we've got around 200 buffers per chain, and
searching it is quite expensive. The hash table size needs to increase.
Secondly, every time we do a lookup, we promote the buffer we find to the head
of the hash chain. This is causing cachelines to be dirtied and causes
invalidation of cachelines across all CPUs that may have walked the hash chain
recently. hence every walk of the hash chain is effectively a cold cache walk.
Remove the promotion to avoid this invalidation.
The results are:
1045043.00 21.2% __ticket_spin_lock
326184.00 6.6% _xfs_buf_find
A 70% drop in the CPU usage when looking up buffers. Unfortunately that does
not result in an increase in performance underthis workload as contention on
the inode_lock soaks up most of the reduction in CPU usage.
