The current code holds on to this list until nfsd is shut down, but it's
never touched once the grace period ends. Release that memory back into
the wild when the grace period ends.

Remove the cl_recdir field from the nfs4_client struct. Instead, just
compute it on the fly when and if it's needed, which is now only when
the legacy client tracking code is in effect.
The error handling in the legacy client tracker is also changed to
handle the case where md5 is unavailable. In that case, we'll warn
the admin with a KERN_ERR message and disable the client tracking.

The current code requires that we md5 hash the name in order to store
the client in the confirmed and unconfirmed trees. Change it instead
to store the clients in a pair of rbtrees, and simply compare the
cl_names directly instead of hashing them. This also necessitates that
we add a new flag to the clp->cl_flags field to indicate which tree
the client is currently in.

When nfsd starts, the legacy reboot recovery code creates a tracking
struct for each directory in the v4recoverydir. When the grace period
ends, it basically does a "readdir" on the directory again, and matches
each dentry in there to an existing client id to see if it should be
removed or not. If the matching client doesn't exist, or hasn't
reclaimed its state then it will remove that dentry.
This is pretty inefficient since it involves doing a lot of hash-bucket
searching. It also means that we have to keep relying on being able to
search for a nfs4_client by md5 hashed cl_recdir name.
Instead, add a pointer to the nfs4_client that indicates the association
between the nfs4_client_reclaim and nfs4_client. When a reclaim operation
comes in, we set the pointer to make that association. On gracedone, the
legacy client tracker will keep the recdir around iff:
1/ there is a reclaim record for the directory
...and...
2/ there's an association between the reclaim record and a client record
-- that is, a create or check operation was performed on the client that
matches that directory.

Let's shoot for removing the nfsdcld upcall in 3.10. Most likely,

The usermodehelper upcall program can then decide to use this info as
a (one-way) transition mechanism to the new scheme. When a "check"
upcall occurs and the client doesn't exist in the database, we can
look to see whether the directory exists. If it does, then we'd add
the client to the database, remove the legacy recdir, and return
success to the kernel to allow the recovery to proceed.
For gracedone, we simply pass the v4recovery "topdir" so that the
upcall can clean it out prior to returning to the kernel.
A module parm is also added to disable the legacy conversion if
the admin chooses.

First, try to use the new usermodehelper upcall. It should succeed or
fail quickly, so there's little cost to doing so.
If it fails, and the legacy tracking dir exists, use that. If it
doesn't exist then fall back to using nfsdcld.

Add a new client tracker upcall type that uses call_usermodehelper to
call out to a program. This seems to be the preferred method of
calling out to usermode these days for seldom-called upcalls. It's
simple and doesn't require a running daemon, so it should "just work"
as long as the binary is installed.
The client tracking exit operation is also changed to check for a
NULL pointer before running. The UMH upcall doesn't need to do anything
at module teardown time.

We're currently ignoring the callback security parameters specified in
create_session, and just assuming the client wants auth_sys, because
that's all the current linux client happens to care about. But this
could cause us callbacks to fail to a client that wanted something
different.
For now, all we're doing is no longer ignoring the uid and gid passed in
the auth_sys case. Further patches will add support for auth_null and
gss (and possibly use more of the auth_sys information; the spec wants
us to use exactly the credential we're passed, though it's hard to
imagine why a client would care).

NFSv4 shares the same struct file across multiple writes. (And we'd
like NFSv2 and NFSv3 to do that as well some day.)
So setting O_SYNC on the struct file as a way to request a synchronous
write doesn't work.
Instead, do a vfs_fsync_range() in that case.

I don't really see how you could claim to support nfsd and not support
fsync somehow.
And in practice a quick look through the exportable filesystems suggests
the only ones without an ->fsync are read-only (efs, isofs, squashfs) or
in-memory (shmem).
Also, performing a write and then returning an error if the sync fails
(as we would do here in the wgather case) seems unhelpful to clients.
Also remove an incorrect comment.

arm64: Fix the update_vsyscall() prototype
arm64: Select MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
arm64: Remove duplicate inclusion of mmu_context.h in smp.c
|
|
An interesting effect of using the generic version of linkage.h
is that the padding is defined in terms of x86 NOPs, which can have
even more interesting effects when the assembly code looks like this:
ENTRY(func1)
mov x0, xzr
ENDPROC(func1)
// fall through
ENTRY(func2)
mov x0, #1
ret
ENDPROC(func2)
Admittedly, the code is not very nice. But having code from another
architecture doesn't look completely sane either.
The fix is to add arm64's version of linkage.h, which causes the insertion
of proper AArch64 NOPs.

Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
* The python binding needs to link with libtraceevent and to initialize
the 'page_size' variable so that mmaping works again.
* The callchain folding character that appears on the TUI just before
the overhead had disappeared due to recent changes, add it back.
* Intel PEBS in VT-x context uses the DS address as a guest linear address,
even though its programmed by the host as a host linear address. This either
results in guest memory corruption and or the hardware faulting and 'crashing'
the virtual machine. Therefore we have to disable PEBS on VT-x enter and
re-enable on VT-x exit, enforcing a strict exclude_guest.

* Fixes for the srclike sort key for unresolved symbols and when processing

Emit the magic string that indicates a module has a signature after the
signature data instead of before it. This allows module_sig_check() to
be made simpler and faster by the elimination of the search for the
magic string. Instead we just need to do a single memcmp().
This works because at the end of the signature data there is the
fixed-length signature information block. This block then falls
immediately prior to the magic number.
From the contents of the information block, it is trivial to calculate
the size of the signature data and thus the size of the actual module
data.

/proc/<pid>/numa_maps scans vma and show mempolicy under
mmap_sem. It sometimes accesses task->mempolicy which can
be freed without mmap_sem and numa_maps can show some
garbage while scanning.
This patch tries to take reference count of task->mempolicy at reading
numa_maps before calling get_vma_policy(). By this, task->mempolicy
will not be freed until numa_maps reaches its end.
V2->v3
- updated comments to be more verbose.
- removed task_lock() in numa_maps code.
V1->V2
- access task->mempolicy only once and remember it. Becase kernel/exit.c
can overwrite it.

free_pid_ns() operates in a recursive fashion:
free_pid_ns(parent)
put_pid_ns(parent)
kref_put(&ns->kref, free_pid_ns);
free_pid_ns
thus if there was a huge nesting of namespaces the userspace may trigger
avalanche calling of free_pid_ns leading to kernel stack exhausting and a
panic eventually.
This patch turns the recursion into an iterative loop.

Calling uname() with the UNAME26 personality set allows a leak of kernel

copy_to_user() call, making the len argument unsigned, and initializing
