Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "All kinds of stuff.  That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
  branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
  had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.

  Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
  switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
  of various kinds, several new helpers for -&gt;llseek(), assorted
  cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.

  One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
  lookup_one_len_unlocked().  Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
  called without -&gt;i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it.  That, of
  course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
  but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
  with that.  I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
  changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough...  I
  *am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
  and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with -&gt;lookup() done under lock
  taken shared.

  There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
  of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
  -&gt;i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
  inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested().  To quote Linus back then:

    -----
    |    This is an automated patch using
    |
    |        sed 's/mutex_lock(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex)/inode_lock(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_unlock(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex)/inode_unlock(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_lock_nested(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex,[     ]*I_MUTEX_\([A-Z0-9_]*\))/inode_lock_nested(\1, I_MUTEX_\2)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_is_locked(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex)/inode_is_locked(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_trylock(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex)/inode_trylock(\1)/'
    |
    |    with a very few manual fixups
    -----

  I'm going to send that once the -&gt;i_mutex-affecting stuff in -next
  gets mostly merged (or when Linus says he's about to stop taking
  merges)"

<title>dm bufio: store stacktrace in buffers to help find buffer leaks</title>

<id>urn:sha1:86bad0c7071c24efee0a395d8b622764bdd24320</id>
<content type='text'>
The option DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING is moved from persistent-data
directory to device mapper directory because it will now be used by
persistent-data and bufio.  When the option is enabled, each bufio buffer
stores the stacktrace of the last dm_bufio_get(), dm_bufio_read() or
dm_bufio_new() call that increased the hold count to 1.  The buffer's
stacktrace is printed if the buffer was not released before the bufio
client is destroyed.

When DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING is enabled, any bufio buffer leaks are
considered warnings - i.e. the kernel continues afterwards.  If not
enabled, buffer leaks are considered BUGs and the kernel with crash.
Reasoning on this disposition is: if we only ever warned on buffer leaks
users would generally ignore them and the problematic code would never
get fixed.

Successfully used to find source of bufio leaks fixed with commit
fce079f63c3 ("dm btree: fix bufio buffer leaks in dm_btree_del() error
path").

<content type='text'>
A small code cleanup in new_read() - return NULL instead of b (although
b is NULL at this point).  This function is not returning pointer to the
buffer, it is returning a pointer to the bufffer's data, thus it makes
no sense to return the variable b.

<content type='text'>
ffs counts bit starting with 1 (for the least significant bit), __ffs
counts bits starting with 0. This patch changes various occurrences of ffs
to __ffs and removes subtraction of 1 from the result.

Note that __ffs (unlike ffs) is not defined when called with zero
argument, but it is not called with zero argument in any of these cases.

Remove DM's unneeded NULL tests before calling these destroy functions,
now that they check for NULL, thanks to these v4.3 commits:
3942d2991 ("mm/slab_common: allow NULL cache pointer in kmem_cache_destroy()")
4e3ca3e03 ("mm/mempool: allow NULL `pool' pointer in mempool_destroy()")

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@@ expression x; @@
-if (x != NULL)
  \(kmem_cache_destroy\|mempool_destroy\|dma_pool_destroy\)(x);

<title>block: add a bi_error field to struct bio</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4246a0b63bd8f56a1469b12eafeb875b1041a451</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:

 (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
 (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback

The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.

So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Significant DM thin-provisioning performance improvements to meet
   performance requirements that were requested by the Gluster
   distributed filesystem.

   Specifically, dm-thinp now takes care to aggregate IO that will be
   issued to the same thinp block before issuing IO to the underlying
   devices.  This really helps improve performance on HW RAID6 devices
   that have a writeback cache because it avoids RMW in the HW RAID
   controller.

 - Some stable fixes: fix leak in DM bufio if integrity profiles were
   enabled, use memzero_explicit in DM crypt to avoid any potential for
   information leak, and a DM cache fix to properly mark a cache block
   dirty if it was promoted to the cache via the overwrite optimization.

 - A few simple DM persistent data library fixes

 - DM cache multiqueue policy block promotion improvements.

 - DM cache discard improvements that take advantage of range
   (multiblock) discard support in the DM bio-prison.  This allows for
   much more efficient bulk discard processing (e.g.  when mkfs.xfs
   discards the entire device).

 - Some small optimizations in DM core and RCU deference cleanups

 - DM core changes to suspend/resume code to introduce the new internal
   suspend/resume interface that the DM thin-pool target now uses to
   suspend/resume active thin devices when the thin-pool must
   suspend/resume.

   This avoids forcing userspace to track all active thin volumes in a
   thin-pool when the thin-pool is suspended for the purposes of
   metadata or data space resize.
