Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
"This the bunch that sat in -next + lock_parent() fix. This is the
minimal set; there's more pending stuff.
In particular, I really hope to get acct.c fixes merged this cycle -
we need that to deal sanely with delayed-mntput stuff. In the next
pile, hopefully - that series is fairly short and localized
(kernel/acct.c, fs/super.c and fs/namespace.c). In this pile: more
iov_iter work. Most of prereqs for ->splice_write with sane locking
order are there and Kent's dio rewrite would also fit nicely on top of
this pile"

jffs2_garbage_collect_thread() does disallow_signal(SIGHUP) around
jffs2_garbage_collect_pass() and the comment says "We don't want SIGHUP
to interrupt us".
But disallow_signal() can't ensure that jffs2_garbage_collect_pass()
won't be interrupted by SIGHUP, the problem is that SIGHUP can be
already pending when disallow_signal() is called, and in this case any
interruptible sleep won't block.
Note: this is in fact because disallow_signal() is buggy and should be
fixed, see the next changes.
But there is another reason why disallow_signal() is wrong: SIG_IGN set
by disallow_signal() silently discards any SIGHUP which can be sent
before the next allow_signal(SIGHUP).
Change this code to use sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK/SIG_BLOCK, SIGHUP).
This even matches the old (and wrong) semantics allow/disallow had when
this logic was written.

This patch removes read_cache_page_async() which wasn't really needed
anywhere and simplifies the code around it a bit.
read_cache_page_async() is useful when we want to read a page into the
cache without waiting for it to complete. This happens when the
appropriate callback 'filler' doesn't complete its read operation and
releases the page lock immediately, and instead queues a different
completion routine to do that. This never actually happened anywhere in
the code.
read_cache_page_async() had 3 different callers:
- read_cache_page() which is the sync version, it would just wait for
the requested read to complete using wait_on_page_read().
- JFFS2 would call it from jffs2_gc_fetch_page(), but the filler
function it supplied doesn't do any async reads, and would complete
before the filler function returns - making it actually a sync read.
- CRAMFS would call it using the read_mapping_page_async() wrapper, with
a similar story to JFFS2 - the filler function doesn't do anything that
reminds async reads and would always complete before the filler function
returns.
To sum it up, the code in mm/filemap.c never took advantage of having
read_cache_page_async(). While there are filler callbacks that do async
reads (such as the block one), we always called it with the
read_cache_page().
This patch adds a mandatory wait for read to complete when adding a new
page to the cache, and removes read_cache_page_async() and its wrappers.

Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.
Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the
file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied,
unconditional syncfs(). This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly
documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful,
except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting
remounted read-only.
However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are
actually depending on this behavior. In most file systems, it's
probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from
read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is
not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something
like romfs).

The variable csize in structure jffs2_tmp_dnode_info is of type uint16_t, but it
is used to hold the compressed data length(csize) which is declared as uint32_t.
So, when the value of csize exceeds 16bits, it gets truncated when assigned to
tn->csize. This is causing a kernel BUG.
Changing the definition of csize in jffs2_tmp_dnode_info to uint32_t fixes the issue.

This crash is caused because the 'positions' is declared as an array of signed
short. The value of position is in the range 0..65535, and will be converted
to a negative number when the position is greater than 32767 and causes a
corruption and crash. Changing the definition to 'unsigned short' fixes this
issue

If jffs2_new_inode() succeeds, it returns with f->sem held, and the caller
is responsible for releasing the lock. If it fails, it still returns with
the lock held, but the caller won't release the lock, which will lead to
deadlock.
Fix it by releasing the lock in jffs2_new_inode() on error.

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.
A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.
Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.
Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.
This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.
This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.
After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

jffs2_write_begin() first acquires the page lock, then f->sem. This
causes an AB-BA deadlock with jffs2_garbage_collect_live(), which first
acquires f->sem, then the page lock:
jffs2_garbage_collect_live
mutex_lock(&f->sem) (A)
jffs2_garbage_collect_dnode
jffs2_gc_fetch_page
read_cache_page_async
do_read_cache_page
lock_page(page) (B)
jffs2_write_begin
grab_cache_page_write_begin
find_lock_page
lock_page(page) (B)
mutex_lock(&f->sem) (A)
We fix this by restructuring jffs2_write_begin() to take f->sem before
the page lock. However, we make sure that f->sem is not held when
calling jffs2_reserve_space(), as this is not permitted by the locking
rules.
The deadlock above was observed multiple times on an SoC with a dual
ARMv7 (Cortex-A9), running the long-term 3.4.11 kernel; it occurred
when using scp to copy files from a host system to the ARM target
system. The fix was heavily tested on the same target system.

Pull vfs update from Al Viro:
- big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
that is moved to fs/file.c
(BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is,
we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
struct file we used to have way back).
A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of
relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
leak.
- related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).
- also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
switch of fdinfo to seq_file.
- Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate
pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.
- a few misc patches all over the place. Not all for this cycle,
there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."
Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly
simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file()
interface ("take descriptor handling from sock_alloc_file() to callers"
vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of

There's no reason to call rcu_barrier() on every
deactivate_locked_super(). We only need to make sure that all delayed rcu
free inodes are flushed before we destroy related cache.
Removing rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() affects some fast
paths. E.g. on my machine exit_group() of a last process in IPC
namespace takes 0.07538s. rcu_barrier() takes 0.05188s of that time.

This patch fixes regression introduced by
"8bdc81c jffs2: get rid of jffs2_sync_super". We submit a delayed work in order
to make sure the write-buffer is synchronized at some point. But we do not
flush it when we unmount, which causes an oops when we unmount the file-system
and then the delayed work is executed.
This patch fixes the issue by adding a "cancel_delayed_work_sync()" infocation
in the '->sync_fs()' handler. This will make sure the delayed work is canceled
on sync, unmount and re-mount. And because VFS always callse 'sync_fs()' before
unmounting or remounting, this fixes the issue.

In the short term this change is not strictly needed but it makes the

Currently JFFS2 file-system maps the VFS "superblock" abstraction to the
write-buffer. Namely, it uses VFS services to synchronize the write-buffer
periodically.
The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the
'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and
writes out all dirty superblock using the '->write_super()' call-back. But the
problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every
5 seconds no matter what. So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to
make file-systems to stop using the '->write_super' VFS service, and then
remove it together with the kernel thread.
This patch switches the JFFS2 write-buffer management from
'->write_super()'/'->s_dirt' to a delayed work. Instead of setting the 's_dirt'
flag we just schedule a delayed work for synchronizing the write-buffer.

We do not need to call 'jffs2_write_super()' on sync. This function
causes a GC pass to make sure the current contents is pushed out with
the data which we already have on the media.
But this is not needed on unmount and only slows sync down unnecessarily.
It is enough to just sync the write-buffer.
This call was added by one of the generic VFS rework patch-sets,
see d579ed00aa96a7f7486978540a0d7cecaff742ae.

Unlike file data integrity the xattr data integrity was not checked
before some explicit access to the attribute was made.
This could leave in the system a number of corrupted extended attributes
which will be detected only at access time and possibly at a very late
time compared to the time the corruption actually happened.
This patch adds the ability to check for extended attribute integrity
on first GC scan pass (similar to file data integrity check). This allows
for all present attributes to be completly verified before any use of them.
In order to work correctly this patch also needs the patch allowing
JFFS2 to discriminate between recoverable and non recoverable errors
on extended attributes.

This patch is basically a revert of commit f326966b3df47f4fa7e90425f60efdd30c31fe19.
It allows JFFS2 to make the distinction between a potential transient
error (reading or writing the media) and a non recoverable error like a
bad CRC on the extended attribute data or some insconsitent parameters.
In order to make clear that the error is indeed intended to report a
corrupted attribute, a new local error code (JFFS2_XATTR_IS_CORRUPTED)
is introduced rather than returning a confusing positive EIO, which is
what led to the inappropriate "fix" last time.
This error code is never reported to user space and only checked locally
in this file.
