20c2df83d2 mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f22 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

e8edc6e03a Detach sched.h from mm.h
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
   getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
   they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
   on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
   after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

79c0b2df79 add filesystem subtype support
There's a slight problem with filesystem type representation in fuse
based filesystems.

From the kernel's view, there are just two filesystem types: fuse and
fuseblk.  From the user's view there are lots of different filesystem
types.  The user is not even much concerned if the filesystem is fuse based
or not.  So there's a conflict of interest in how this should be
represented in fstab, mtab and /proc/mounts.

The current scheme is to encode the real filesystem type in the mount
source.  So an sshfs mount looks like this:

  sshfs#user@server:/   /mnt/server    fuse   rw,nosuid,nodev,...

This url-ish syntax works OK for sshfs and similar filesystems.  However
for block device based filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs) it doesn't work, since
the kernel expects the mount source to be a real device name.

A possibly better scheme would be to encode the real type in the type
field as "type.subtype".  So fuse mounts would look like this:

  /dev/hda1       /mnt/windows   fuseblk.ntfs-3g   rw,...
  user@server:/   /mnt/server    fuse.sshfs        rw,nosuid,nodev,...

This patch adds the necessary code to the kernel so that this can be
correctly displayed in /proc/mounts.

50953fe9e0 slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

d6392f873f [PATCH] fuse: add support for block device based filesystems
I never intended this, but people started using fuse to implement block device
based "real" filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs).

The following four patches add better support for these kinds of filesystems.
Unlike "normal" fuse filesystems, using this feature should require superuser
privileges (enforced by the fusermount utility).

Thanks to Szabolcs Szakacsits for the input and testing.

This patch adds a 'fuseblk' filesystem type, which is only different from the
'fuse' filesystem type in how the 'dev_name' mount argument is interpreted.

d2a85164aa [PATCH] fuse: fix handling of moved directory
Fuse considered it an error (EIO) if lookup returned a directory inode, to
which a dentry already refered.  This is because directory aliases are not
allowed.

But in a network filesystem this could happen legitimately, if a directory is
moved on a remote client.  This patch attempts to relax the restriction by
trying to first evict the offending alias from the cache.  If this fails, it
still returns an error (EBUSY).

A rarer situation is if an mkdir races with an indenpendent lookup, which
finds the newly created directory already moved.  In this situation the mkdir
should return success, but that would be incorrect, since the dentry cannot be
instantiated, so return EBUSY.

Previously checking for a directory alias and instantiation of the dentry
weren't done atomically in lookup/mkdir, hence two such calls racing with each
other could create aliased directories.  To prevent this introduce a new
per-connection mutex: fuse_conn->inst_mutex, which is taken for instantiations
with a directory inode.

9ffbb91623 [PATCH] fuse: fix hang on SMP
Fuse didn't always call i_size_write() with i_mutex held which caused rare
hangs on SMP/32bit.  This bug has been present since fuse-2.2, well before
being merged into mainline.

The simplest solution is to protect i_size_write() with the per-connection
spinlock.  Using i_mutex for this purpose would require some restructuring of
the code and I'm not even sure it's always safe to acquire i_mutex in all
places i_size needs to be set.

Since most of vmtruncate is already duplicated for other reasons, duplicate
the remaining part as well, making all i_size_write() calls internal to fuse.

Using i_size_write() was unnecessary in fuse_init_inode(), since this function
is only called on a newly created locked inode.

Reported by a few people over the years, but special thanks to Dana Henriksen
who was persistent enough in helping me debug it.

0a0898cf41 [PATCH] fuse: use jiffies_64
It is entirely possible (though rare) that jiffies half-wraps around, while a
dentry/inode remains in the cache.  This could mean that the dentry/inode is
not invalidated for another half wraparound-time.

To get around this problem, use 64-bit jiffies.  The only problem with this is
that dentry->d_time is 32 bits on 32-bit archs.  So use d_fsdata as the high
32 bits.  This is an ugly hack, but far simpler, than having to allocate
private data just for this purpose.

Since 64-bit jiffies can be assumed never to wrap around, simple comparison
can be used, and a zero time value can represent "invalid".

9c8ef5614d [PATCH] fuse: scramble lock owner ID
VFS uses current->files pointer as lock owner ID, and it wouldn't be
prudent to expose this value to userspace.  So scramble it with XTEA using
a per connection random key, known only to the kernel.  Only one direction
needs to be implemented, since the ID is never sent in the reverse
direction.

The XTEA algorithm is implemented inline since it's simple enough to do so,
and this adds less complexity than if the crypto API were used.

  - does not suffer from module unload race

This complements the get_sb() patch.  That reduced the significance of

require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation.  This permits
the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.

linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build
successfully.

Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

454e2398be [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount
Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.

The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).

The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.

This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.

The patch also makes the following changes:

 (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
     pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
     very little.

 (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
     normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
     always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().

 (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
     dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().

     This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
     aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
     currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
     and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
     dentries being left unculled.

     However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
     implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
     simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
     inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
     with child trees.

     [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.

 (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
     changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

5a5fb1ea74 Revert "[fuse] fix deadlock between fuse_put_super() and request_end()"
This reverts 73ce8355c2 commit.

It was wrong, because it didn't take into account the requirement,
that iput() for background requests must be performed synchronously
with ->put_super(), otherwise active inodes may remain after unmount.

The right solution is to keep the sbput_sem and perform iput() within
the locked region, but move fput() outside sbput_sem.

73ce8355c2 [fuse] fix deadlock between fuse_put_super() and request_end()
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.

08a53cdce6 [PATCH] fuse: account background requests
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.

ce1d5a491f [PATCH] fuse: clean up request accounting
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
locking operations aren't well served by the request pool, since they may
block indefinetly thus exhausting the pool.

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

0720b31597 [PATCH] fuse: simplify locking
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.

385a17bfc3 [PATCH] fuse: add O_ASYNC support to FUSE device
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.

9cd6845511 [PATCH] fuse: fix async read for legacy filesystems
While asynchronous reads mean a performance improvement in most cases, if
the filesystem assumed that reads are synchronous, then async reads may
degrade performance (filesystem may receive reads out of order, which can
confuse it's own readahead logic).

With sshfs a 1.5 to 4 times slowdown can be measured.

There's also a need for userspace filesystems to know whether asynchronous
reads are supported by the kernel or not.

To achive these, negotiate in the INIT request whether async reads will be
used and the maximum readahead value.  Update interface version to 7.6

If userspace uses a version earlier than 7.6, then disable async reads, and
set maximum readahead value to the maximum read size, as done in previous
versions.

095da6cbb6 [PATCH] fuse: fix bitfield race
Fix race in setting bitfields of fuse_conn.  Spotted by Andrew Morton.

The two fields ->connected and ->mounted were always changed with the
fuse_lock held.  But other bitfields in the same structure were changed
without the lock.  In theory this could lead to losing the assignment of
even the ones under lock.  The chosen solution is to change these two
fields to be a full unsigned type.  The other bitfields aren't "important"
enough to warrant the extra complexity of full locking or changing them to
bitops.

For all bitfields document why they are safe wrt. concurrent
assignments.

Also make the initialization of the 'num_waiting' atomic counter explicit.

69a53bf267 [PATCH] fuse: add connection aborting
Add ability to abort a filesystem connection.

With the introduction of asynchronous reads, the ability to interrupt any
request is not enough to dissolve deadlocks, since now waiting for the request
completion (page unlocked) is independent of the actual request, so in a
deadlock all threads will be uninterruptible.

The solution is to make it possible to abort all requests, even those
currently undergoing I/O to/from userspace.  The natural interface for this is
'mount -f mountpoint', but that only works as long as the filesystem is
attached.  So also add an 'abort' attribute to the sysfs view of the
connection.
