      epoll: prevent missed events on EPOLL_CTL_MOD · 128dd175
      Eric Wong authored 
      EPOLL_CTL_MOD sets the interest mask before calling f_op->poll() to
ensure events are not missed.  Since the modifications to the interest
mask are not protected by the same lock as ep_poll_callback, we need to
ensure the change is visible to other CPUs calling ep_poll_callback.

We also need to ensure f_op->poll() has an up-to-date view of past
events which occured before we modified the interest mask.  So this
barrier also pairs with the barrier in wq_has_sleeper().

This should guarantee either ep_poll_callback or f_op->poll() (or both)
will notice the readiness of a recently-ready/modified item.

This issue was encountered by Andreas Voellmy and Junchang(Jason) Wang in:

      ext4: avoid hang when mounting non-journal filesystems with orphan list · 0e9a9a1a
      Theodore Ts'o authored 
      

When trying to mount a file system which does not contain a journal,
but which does have a orphan list containing an inode which needs to
be truncated, the mount call with hang forever in
ext4_orphan_cleanup() because ext4_orphan_del() will return
immediately without removing the inode from the orphan list, leading
to an uninterruptible loop in kernel code which will busy out one of
the CPU's on the system.

This can be trivially reproduced by trying to mount the file system
found in tests/f_orphan_extents_inode/image.gz from the e2fsprogs
source tree.  If a malicious user were to put this on a USB stick, and
mount it on a Linux desktop which has automatic mounts enabled, this
could be considered a potential denial of service attack.  (Not a big
deal in practice, but professional paranoids worry about such things,
and have even been known to allocate CVE numbers for such problems.)

      ext4: lock i_mutex when truncating orphan inodes · 721e3eba
      Theodore Ts'o authored 
      

Commit c278531d added a warning when ext4_flush_unwritten_io() is
called without i_mutex being taken.  It had previously not been taken
during orphan cleanup since races weren't possible at that point in
the mount process, but as a result of this c278531d, we will now see
a kernel WARN_ON in this case.  Take the i_mutex in
ext4_orphan_cleanup() to suppress this warning.

      f2fs: Don't assign e_id in f2fs_acl_from_disk · 48c6d121
      Eric W. Biederman authored 
      

With user namespaces enabled building f2fs fails with:

 CC      fs/f2fs/acl.o
fs/f2fs/acl.c: In function ‘f2fs_acl_from_disk’:
fs/f2fs/acl.c:85:21: error: ‘struct posix_acl_entry’ has no member named ‘e_id’
make[2]: *** [fs/f2fs/acl.o] Error 1
make[2]: Target `__build' not remade because of errors.

e_id is a backwards compatibility field only used for file systems
that haven't been converted to use kuids and kgids.  When the posix
acl tag field is neither ACL_USER nor ACL_GROUP assigning e_id is
unnecessary.  Remove the assignment so f2fs will build with user
namespaces enabled.

It turns out that spin_unlock_bh(proc_inum_lock) is not safe when
put_pid is called with another spinlock held and irqs disabled.

For now take the easy path and use spin_lock_irqsave(proc_inum_lock)
in proc_free_inum and spin_loc_irq in proc_alloc_inum(proc_inum_lock).

      NFS: Kill fscache warnings when mounting without -ofsc · c4271c6e
      Trond Myklebust authored 
      

The fscache code will currently bleat a "non-unique superblock keys"
warning even if the user is mounting without the 'fsc' option.

There should be no reason to even initialise the superblock cache cookie
unless we're planning on using fscache for something, so ensure that we
check for the NFS_OPTION_FSCACHE flag before calling into the fscache
code.

We fix the race by rechecking j_barrier_count after reacquiring j_state_lock
in exclusive mode.
