There are places in the kernel where we look up files in fd tables and
access the file structure without holding refereces to the file. So, we
need special care to avoid the race between looking up files in the fd
table and tearing down of the file in another CPU. Otherwise, one might
see a NULL f_dentry or such torn down version of the file. This patch
fixes those special places where such a race may happen.

While we can currently walk through thread groups, process groups, and
sessions with just the rcu_read_lock, this opens the door to walking the
entire task list.
We already have all of the other RCU guarantees so there is no cost in
doing this, this should be enough so that proc can stop taking the
tasklist lock during readdir.
prev_task was killed because it has no users, and using it will miss new
tasks when doing an rcu traversal.

Came up through a quick grep for other cases similar to the ftruncate()
one in commit 0a489cb3b6a7b277030cdbc97c2c65905db94536.
Also, add a comment, so that people who read the code understand why we
do what looks like a no-op.
(Again, this won't actually matter to any sane user, since libc will
save and restore the register gcc stomps on, but it's still wrong to

Gcc thinks it owns the incoming argument stack, but that's not true for
"asmlinkage" functions, and it corrupts the caller-set-up argument stack
when it pushes the third argument onto the stack. Which can result in
%ebx getting corrupted in user space.
Now, normally nobody sane would ever notice, since libc will save and
restore %ebx anyway over the system call, but it's still wrong.
I'd much rather have "asmlinkage" tell gcc directly that it doesn't own
the stack, but no such attribute exists, so we're stuck with our hacky
manual "prevent_tail_call()" macro once more (we've had the same issue
before with sys_waitpid() and sys_wait4()).
Thanks to Hans-Werner Hilse <hilse@sub.uni-goettingen.de> for reporting
the issue and testing the fix.

[BLOCK] delay all uevents until partition table is scanned
Here we delay the annoucement of all block device events until the
disk's partition table is scanned and all partition devices are already
created and sysfs is populated.
We have a bunch of old bugs for removable storage handling where we
probe successfully for a filesystem on the raw disk, but at the
same time the kernel recognizes a partition table and creates partition
devices.
Currently there is no sane way to tell if partitions will show up or not
at the time the disk device is announced to userspace. With the delayed
events we can simply skip any probe for a filesystem on the raw disk when
we find already present partitions.

It works like this:
Open the file
Read all the contents.
Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works)
When poll returns,
close the file and go to top of loop.
or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'.
Events are signaled by an object manager calling
sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr);
If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which
contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group).
This has a cost of one int per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject,
one int per open file.
The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify
functionality. Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs
attributes as well?
This patch also uses sysfs_notify to allow /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action
to be pollable

This is two distinct changes.
- Not changing our real parents.
- Not changing our ptrace parents.
Not changing our real parents is trivially correct because both tasks
have the same real parents as they are part of a thread group. Now that
we demote the leader to a thread there is no longer any reason to change
it's parentage.
Not changing our ptrace parents is a user visible change if someone
looks hard enough. I don't think user space applications will care or
even notice.
In the practical and I think common case a debugger will have attached
to all of the threads using the same ptrace flags. From my quick skim
of strace and gdb that appears to be the case. Which if true means
debuggers will not notice a change.
Before this point we have already generated a ptrace event in do_exit
that reports the leaders pid has died so de_thread is visible to a
debugger. Which means attempting to hide this case by copying flags
around appears excessive.
By not doing anything it avoids all of the weird locking issues between
de_thread and ptrace attach, and removes one case from consideration for
fixing the ptrace locking.
This only addresses Oleg's first concern with ptrace_attach, that of the
problems caused by reparenting. Oleg's second concern is essentially a
race between ptrace_attach and release_task that causes an oops when we
get to force_sig_specific. There is nothing special about de_thread
with respect to that race.

A deadlock was possible, when the last reference to the superblock was
held due to a background request containing a file reference.
Releasing the file would release the vfsmount which in turn would
release the superblock. Since sbput_sem is held during the fput() and
fuse_put_super() tries to acquire this same semaphore, a deadlock
results.
The chosen soltuion is to get rid of sbput_sem, and instead use the
spinlock to ensure the referenced inodes/file are released only once.
Since the actual release may sleep, defer these outside the locked
region, but using local variables instead of the structure members.
This is a much more rubust solution.

Basically an in-kernel implementation of tee, which uses splice and the
pipe buffers as an intelligent way to pass data around by reference.
Where the user space tee consumes the input and produces a stdout and
file output, this syscall merely duplicates the data inside a pipe to
another pipe. No data is copied, the output just grabs a reference to the
input pipe data.

In addition to setting the processes filesystem id's, nfsd_setuser also
modifies the value of the rq_cred which stores the id's that originally came
from the rpc call, for example to reflect root squashing.
There's no real reason to do that--the only case where rqstp->rq_cred is
actually used later on is in the NFSv4 SETCLIENTID/SETCLIENTID_CONFIRM
operations, and there the results are the opposite of what we want--those two
operations don't deal with the filesystem at all, they only record the
credentials used with the rpc call for later reference (so that we may require
the same credentials be used on later operations), and the credentials
shouldn't vary just because there was or wasn't a previous operation in the
compound that referred to some export

Export a directory that does not exist:
exportfs -orw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check client:/home/NFS4
Try to mount from client with nfs4. Mount hangs (I'm not sure why -
that's another issue).
While client is hung, back on server
mkdir /home/NFS4
The server panics in dput. I traced the problem back to svc_export_parse()
calling path_release() even though path_lookup() failed (it happens to fill in
the nameidata structure with a negative dentry - so the test after out:
succeeds).
After patching, an recreating the problem, the client mount still takes some
time before finally exiting with a message "couldn't read superblock".

We should be using the length from the second vfs_getxattr, in case it
changed. (Note: there's still a small race here; we could end up returning
-ENOMEM if the length increased between the first and second call. I don't
know whether it's worth spending a lot of effort to fix that.)
This makes XFS ACLs usable on NFS exports, which they currently aren't, since
XFS appears to be returning a too-large value for vfs_getxattr() when it's
passed a NULL buffer. So there's probably an XFS bug here too, though since
getxattr with a NULL buffer is usually used to decide how much memory to
allocate, it may be a fairly harmless bug in most cases.

Use the fl_lmops field to identify which locks are ours, instead of trying to
look them up in our private hash. This is safer and more efficient.
Earlier versions of this patch used a lock flag instead, but Trond pointed out
that adding a new flag for each lock manager wasn't going to scale well, and
suggested this approach instead; a separate patch converts lockd to using
fl_lmops in the same way.
In the NFSv4 case this looks like a bit of a hack, since the NFSv4 server
isn't currently actually defining a lock_manager_operations struct, so we end
up defining one *just* to serve as a cookie to identify our locks.
But it works, and we actually do expect to start using the
lock_manager_operations at some point anyway.

NFSd makes sure there is enough space to hold the maximum possible reply
before accepting a request. The units for this maximum is (4byte) words.
However in three places, particularly for read request, the number given is
a number of bytes.
This means too much space is reserved which is slightly wasteful.
This is the sort of patch that could uncover a deeper bug, and it is not
critical, so it would be best for it to spend a while in -mm before going
in to mainline.

The previous patch removed limiting the number of outstanding requests. This
patch adds a much simpler limiting, that is also compatible with file locking
operations.
A task may have at most one synchronous request allocated. So these requests
need not be otherwise limited.
However the number of background requests (release, forget, asynchronous
reads, interrupted requests) can grow indefinitely. This can be used by a
malicous user to cause FUSE to allocate arbitrary amounts of unswappable
kernel memory, denying service.
For this reason add a limit for the number of background requests, and block
allocations of new requests until the number goes bellow the limit.
Also use this mechanism to block all requests until the INIT reply is
received.

FUSE allocated most requests from a fixed size pool filled at mount time.
However in some cases (release/forget) non-pool requests were used. File

This patch removes the request pool and always allocates requests on demand.

This is in preparation for removing the global spinlock in favor of a
per-mount one.
The only critical part is the interaction between fuse_dev_release() and
fuse_fill_super(): fuse_dev_release() must see the assignment to
file->private_data, otherwise it will leak the reference to fuse_conn.
This is ensured by the fput() operation, which will synchronize the assignment
with other CPU's that may do a final fput() soon after this.
Also redundant locking is removed from fuse_fill_super(), where exclusion is
already ensured by the BKL held for this function by the VFS.

This adds asynchronous notification to FUSE - a FUSE server can request
O_ASYNC on a /dev/fuse file descriptor and receive SIGIO when there is input
available.
One subtlety - fuse_dev_fasync, which is called when O_ASYNC is requested,
does no locking, unlink the other methods. I think it's unnecessary, as the
fuse_conn.fasync list is manipulated only by fasync_helper and kill_fasync,
which provide their own locking. It would also be wrong to use the fuse_lock,
as it's a spin lock and fasync_helper can sleep. My one concern with this is
the fuse_conn going away underneath fuse_dev_fasync - sys_fcntl takes a
reference on the file struct, so this seems not to be a problem.

During heavy parallel filesystem activity it was possible to Oops the kernel.
The reason is that read_cache_pages() could skip pages which have already been
inserted into the cache by another task. Occasionally this may result in zero
pages actually being sent, while fuse_send_readpages() relies on at least one
page being in the request.
So check this corner case and just free the request instead of trying to send
it.

The only record we have of the real-time age of a process, regardless of
execs it's done, is start_time. When a non-leader thread exec, the

start_time stick around with the process after a non-leader exec. This way
the association between PID and start_time is kept constant, which seems
correct to me.
