a7d3d0392a integrity: use kernel_read_file_from_path() to read x509 certs
The CONFIG_IMA_LOAD_X509 and CONFIG_EVM_LOAD_X509 options permit
loading x509 signed certificates onto the trusted keyrings without
verifying the x509 certificate file's signature.

This patch replaces the call to the integrity_read_file() specific
function with the common kernel_read_file_from_path() function.
To avoid verifying the file signature, this patch defines
READING_X509_CERTFICATE.

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

2ee6a576be fs, fscrypt: add an S_ENCRYPTED inode flag
Introduce a flag S_ENCRYPTED which can be set in ->i_flags to indicate
that the inode is encrypted using the fscrypt (fs/crypto/) mechanism.

Checking this flag will give the same information that
inode->i_sb->s_cop->is_encrypted(inode) currently does, but will be more
efficient.  This will be useful for adding higher-level helper functions
for filesystems to use.  For example we'll be able to replace this:

	if (ext4_encrypted_inode(inode)) {
		ret = fscrypt_get_encryption_info(inode);
		if (ret)
			return ret;
		if (!fscrypt_has_encryption_key(inode))
			return -ENOKEY;
	}

with this:

	ret = fscrypt_require_key(inode);
	if (ret)
		return ret;

... since we'll be able to retain the fast path for unencrypted files as
a single flag check, using an inline function.  This wasn't possible
before because we'd have had to frequently call through the
->i_sb->s_cop->is_encrypted function pointer, even when the encryption
support was disabled or not being used.

Note: we don't define S_ENCRYPTED to 0 if CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION is
disabled because we want to continue to return an error if an encrypted
file is accessed without encryption support, rather than pretending that
it is unencrypted.

32e57c29e3 include/linux/fs.h: fix comment about struct address_space
Before commit 9c5d760b8d ("mm: split gfp_mask and mapping flags into
separate fields") the private_* fields of struct adrress_space were
grouped together and using "ditto" in comments describing the last
fields was correct.

With introduction of gpf_mask between private_lock and private_list
"ditto" references the wrong description.

Fix it by using the elaborate description.

42f4614821 autofs: fix AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT not being honored
The fstatat(2) and statx() calls can pass the flag AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT which
is meant to clear the LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag and prevent triggering of an
automount by the call.  But this flag is unconditionally cleared for all
stat family system calls except statx().

stat family system calls have always triggered mount requests for the
negative dentry case in follow_automount() which is intended but prevents
the fstatat(2) and statx() AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT case from being handled.

In order to handle the AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT for both system calls the negative
dentry case in follow_automount() needs to be changed to return ENOENT
when the LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag is clear (and the other required flags are
clear).

AFAICT this change doesn't have any noticable side effects and may, in
some use cases (although I didn't see it in testing) prevent unnecessary
callbacks to the automount daemon.

It's also possible that a stat family call has been made with a path that
is in the process of being mounted by some other process.  But stat family
calls should return the automount state of the path as it is "now" so it
shouldn't wait for mount completion.

This is the same semantic as the positive dentry case already handled.

f808c13fd3 lib/interval_tree: fast overlap detection
Allow interval trees to quickly check for overlaps to avoid unnecesary
tree lookups in interval_tree_iter_first().

As of this patch, all interval tree flavors will require using a
'rb_root_cached' such that we can have the leftmost node easily
available.  While most users will make use of this feature, those with
special functions (in addition to the generic insert, delete, search
calls) will avoid using the cached option as they can do funky things
with insertions -- for example, vma_interval_tree_insert_after().

a0725ab0c7 Merge branch 'for-4.14/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the first pull request for 4.14, containing most of the code
  changes. It's a quiet series this round, which I think we needed after
  the churn of the last few series. This contains:

   - Fix for a registration race in loop, from Anton Volkov.

   - Overflow complaint fix from Arnd for DAC960.

   - Series of drbd changes from the usual suspects.

   - Conversion of the stec/skd driver to blk-mq. From Bart.

   - A few BFQ improvements/fixes from Paolo.

   - CFQ improvement from Ritesh, allowing idling for group idle.

   - A few fixes found by Dan's smatch, courtesy of Dan.

   - A warning fixup for a race between changing the IO scheduler and
     device remova. From David Jeffery.

   - A few nbd fixes from Josef.

   - Support for cgroup info in blktrace, from Shaohua.

   - Also from Shaohua, new features in the null_blk driver to allow it
     to actually hold data, among other things.

   - Various corner cases and error handling fixes from Weiping Zhang.

   - Improvements to the IO stats tracking for blk-mq from me. Can
     drastically improve performance for fast devices and/or big
     machines.

   - Series from Christoph removing bi_bdev as being needed for IO
     submission, in preparation for nvme multipathing code.

   - Series from Bart, including various cleanups and fixes for switch
     fall through case complaints"

799ea9e9c5 xfs: evict all inodes involved with log redo item
When we introduced the bmap redo log items, we set MS_ACTIVE on the
mountpoint and XFS_IRECOVERY on the inode to prevent unlinked inodes
from being truncated prematurely during log recovery.  This also had the
effect of putting linked inodes on the lru instead of evicting them.

Unfortunately, we neglected to find all those unreferenced lru inodes
and evict them after finishing log recovery, which means that we leak
them if anything goes wrong in the rest of xfs_mountfs, because the lru
is only cleaned out on unmount.

Therefore, evict unreferenced inodes in the lru list immediately
after clearing MS_ACTIVE.

We have a MAX_LFS_FILESIZE macro that is meant to be filled in by
filesystems (and other IO targets) that know they are 64-bit clean and
don't have any 32-bit limits in their IO path.

It turns out that our 32-bit value for that limit was bogus.  On 32-bit,
the VM layer is limited by the page cache to only 32-bit index values,
but our logic for that was confusing and actually wrong.  We used to

	(((loff_t)PAGE_SIZE << (BITS_PER_LONG-1))-1)

which is actually odd in several ways: it limits the index to 31 bits,
and then it limits files so that they can't have data in that last byte
of a page that has the highest 31-bit index (ie page index 0x7fffffff).

Neither of those limitations make sense.  The index is actually the full
32 bit unsigned value, and we can use that whole full page.  So the
maximum size of the file would logically be "PAGE_SIZE << BITS_PER_LONG".

However, we do wan tto avoid the maximum index, because we have code
that iterates over the page indexes, and we don't want that code to
overflow.  So the maximum size of a file on a 32-bit host should
actually be one page less than the full 32-bit index.

So the actual limit is ULONG_MAX << PAGE_SHIFT.  That means that we will
not actually be using the page of that last index (ULONG_MAX), but we
can grow a file up to that limit.

The wrong value of MAX_LFS_FILESIZE actually caused problems for Doug
Nazar, who was still using a 32-bit host, but with a 9.7TB 2 x RAID5
volume.  It turns out that our old MAX_LFS_FILESIZE was 8TiB (well, one
byte less), but the actual true VM limit is one page less than 16TiB.

This was invisible until commit c2a9737f45 ("vfs,mm: fix a dead loop
in truncate_inode_pages_range()"), which started applying that
MAX_LFS_FILESIZE limit to block devices too.

NOTE! On 64-bit, the page index isn't a limiter at all, and the limit is
actually just the offset type itself (loff_t), which is signed.  But for
clarity, on 64-bit, just use the maximum signed value, and don't make
people have to count the number of 'f' characters in the hex constant.

So just use LLONG_MAX for the 64-bit case.  That was what the value had
been before too, just written out as a hex constant.

ffb959bbdf mm: remove optimizations based on i_size in mapping writeback waits
Marcelo added this i_size based optimization with a patch in 2004
(commitid is from the linux-history tree):

    commit 765dad09b4ac101a32d87af2bb793c3060497d3c
    Author: Marcelo Tosatti <marcelo.tosatti@cyclades.com>
    Date:   Tue Sep 7 17:51:17 2004 -0700

	small wait_on_page_writeback_range() optimization

	filemap_fdatawait() calls wait_on_page_writeback_range() with -1
	as "end" parameter.  This is not needed since we know the EOF
	from the inode.  Use that instead.

There may be races here, particularly with clustered or network
filesystems. It also seems like a bit of a layering violation since
we're operating on an address_space here, not an inode.

Finally, it's also questionable whether this optimization really helps
on workloads that we care about. Should we be optimizing for writeback
vs. truncate races in a codepath where we expect to wait anyway? It
doesn't seem worth the risk.

Remove this optimization from the filemap_fdatawait codepaths. This
means that filemap_fdatawait becomes a trivial wrapper around
filemap_fdatawait_range.

133d55cdb2 block: order /proc/devices by major number
Presently, the order of the block devices listed in /proc/devices is not

BLKDEV_MAJOR_HASH_SIZE (255), it will be ordered as if its major were
module 255. For example, 511 appears after 1.

This patch cleans that up and prints each major number in the correct
order, regardless of where they are stored in the hash table.

In order to do this, we introduce BLKDEV_MAJOR_MAX as an artificial

a5d31a3f81 char_dev: extend dynamic allocation of majors into a higher range
We've run into problems with running out of dynamicly assign char
device majors particullarly on automated test systems with
all-yes-configs. Roughly 40 dynamic assignments can be made with such
kernels at this time while space is reserved for only 20.

Currently, the kernel only prints a warning when dynamic allocation
overflows the reserved region. And when this happens drivers that have
fixed assignments can randomly fail depending on the order of
initialization of other drivers. Thus, adding a new char device can cause
unexpected failures in completely unrelated parts of the kernel.

This patch solves the problem by extending dynamic major number
allocations down from 511 once the 234-254 region fills up. Fixed
majors already exist above 255 so the infrastructure to support
high number majors is already in place. The patch reserves an
additional 128 major numbers which should hopefully last us a while.

Kernels that don't require more than 20 dynamic majors assigned (which
is pretty typical) should not be affected by this change.

e462ec50cb VFS: Differentiate mount flags (MS_*) from internal superblock flags
Differentiate the MS_* flags passed to mount(2) from the internal flags set
in the super_block's s_flags.  s_flags are now called SB_*, with the names
and the values for the moment mirroring the MS_* flags that they're
equivalent to.

In this patch, just the headers are altered and some kernel code where
blind automated conversion isn't necessarily correct.

Note that this shows up some interesting issues:

 (1) Some MS_* flags get translated to MNT_* flags (such as MS_NODEV ->
     MNT_NODEV) without passing this on to the filesystem, but some
     filesystems set such flags anyway.

 (2) The ->remount_fs() methods of some filesystems adjust the *flags
     argument by setting MS_* flags in it, such as MS_NOATIME - but these
     flags are then scrubbed by do_remount_sb() (only the occupants of
     MS_RMT_MASK are permitted: MS_RDONLY, MS_SYNCHRONOUS, MS_MANDLOCK,
     MS_I_VERSION and MS_LAZYTIME)

I'm not sure what's the best way to solve all these cases.

9d5b86ac13 fs/locks: Remove fl_nspid and use fs-specific l_pid for remote locks
Since commit c69899a17c "NFSv4: Update of VFS byte range lock must be
atomic with the stateid update", NFSv4 has been inserting locks in rpciod
worker context.  The result is that the file_lock's fl_nspid is the
kworker's pid instead of the original userspace pid.

The fl_nspid is only used to represent the namespaced virtual pid number
when displaying locks or returning from F_GETLK.  There's no reason to set
it for every inserted lock, since we can usually just look it up from
fl_pid.  So, instead of looking up and holding struct pid for every lock,
let's just look up the virtual pid number from fl_pid when it is needed.
That means we can remove fl_nspid entirely.

The translaton and presentation of fl_pid should handle the following four
cases:

1 - F_GETLK on a remote file with a remote lock:
    In this case, the filesystem should determine the l_pid to return here.
    Filesystems should indicate that the fl_pid represents a non-local pid
    value that should not be translated by returning an fl_pid <= 0.

2 - F_GETLK on a local file with a remote lock:
    This should be the l_pid of the lock manager process, and translated.

3 - F_GETLK on a remote file with a local lock, and
4 - F_GETLK on a local file with a local lock:
    These should be the translated l_pid of the local locking process.

Fuse was already doing the correct thing by translating the pid into the
caller's namespace.  With this change we must update fuse to translate
to init's pid namespace, so that the locks API can then translate from
init's pid namespace into the pid namespace of the caller.

With this change, the locks API will expect that if a filesystem returns
a remote pid as opposed to a local pid for F_GETLK, that remote pid will
be <= 0.  This signifies that the pid is remote, and the locks API will
forego translating that pid into the pid namespace of the local calling
process.

Finally, we convert remote filesystems to present remote pids using
negative numbers. Have lustre, 9p, ceph, cifs, and dlm negate the remote
pid returned for F_GETLK lock requests.

Since local pids will never be larger than PID_MAX_LIMIT (which is
currently defined as <= 4 million), but pid_t is an unsigned int, we
should have plenty of room to represent remote pids with negative
numbers if we assume that remote pid numbers are similarly limited.

If this is not the case, then we run the risk of having a remote pid
returned for which there is also a corresponding local pid.  This is a
problem we have now, but this patch should reduce the chances of that
occurring, while also returning those remote pid numbers, for whatever
that may be worth.

baabda2614 mm: always enable thp for dax mappings
The madvise policy for transparent huge pages is meant to avoid unwanted
allocations of transparent huge pages.  It allows a policy of disabling
the extra memory pressure and effort to arrange for a huge page when it
is not needed.

DAX by definition never incurs this overhead since it is statically
allocated.  The policy choice makes even less sense for device-dax which
tries to guarantee a given tlb-fault size.  Specifically, the following
setting:

	echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled

...violates that guarantee and silently disables all device-dax
instances with a 2M or 1G alignment.  So, let's avoid that non-obvious
side effect by force enabling thp for dax mappings in all cases.

It is worth noting that the reason this uses vma_is_dax(), and the
resulting header include changes, is that previous attempts to add a
VM_DAX flag were NAKd.

Pull Writeback error handling updates from Jeff Layton:
 "This pile represents the bulk of the writeback error handling fixes
  that I have for this cycle. Some of the earlier patches in this pile
  may look trivial but they are prerequisites for later patches in the
  series.

  The aim of this set is to improve how we track and report writeback
  errors to userland. Most applications that care about data integrity
  will periodically call fsync/fdatasync/msync to ensure that their
  writes have made it to the backing store.

  For a very long time, we have tracked writeback errors using two flags
  in the address_space: AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC. Those flags are set when a
  writeback error occurs (via mapping_set_error) and are cleared as a
  side-effect of filemap_check_errors (as you noted yesterday). This
  model really sucks for userland.

  Only the first task to call fsync (or msync or fdatasync) will see the
  error. Any subsequent task calling fsync on a file will get back 0
  (unless another writeback error occurs in the interim). If I have
  several tasks writing to a file and calling fsync to ensure that their
  writes got stored, then I need to have them coordinate with one
  another. That's difficult enough, but in a world of containerized
  setups that coordination may even not be possible.

  But wait...it gets worse!

  The calls to filemap_check_errors can be buried pretty far down in the
  call stack, and there are internal callers of filemap_write_and_wait
  and the like that also end up clearing those errors. Many of those
  callers ignore the error return from that function or return it to
  userland at nonsensical times (e.g. truncate() or stat()). If I get
  back -EIO on a truncate, there is no reason to think that it was
  because some previous writeback failed, and a subsequent fsync() will
  (incorrectly) return 0.

  This pile aims to do three things:

   1) ensure that when a writeback error occurs that that error will be
      reported to userland on a subsequent fsync/fdatasync/msync call,
      regardless of what internal callers are doing

   2) report writeback errors on all file descriptions that were open at
      the time that the error occurred. This is a user-visible change,
      but I think most applications are written to assume this behavior
      anyway. Those that aren't are unlikely to be hurt by it.

   3) document what filesystems should do when there is a writeback
      error. Today, there is very little consistency between them, and a
      lot of cargo-cult copying. We need to make it very clear what
      filesystems should do in this situation.

  To achieve this, the set adds a new data type (errseq_t) and then
  builds new writeback error tracking infrastructure around that. Once
  all of that is in place, we change the filesystems to use the new
  infrastructure for reporting wb errors to userland.

  Note that this is just the initial foray into cleaning up this mess.
  There is a lot of work remaining here:

   1) convert the rest of the filesystems in a similar fashion. Once the
      initial set is in, then I think most other fs' will be fairly
      simple to convert. Hopefully most of those can in via individual
      filesystem trees.

   2) convert internal waiters on writeback to use errseq_t for
      detecting errors instead of relying on the AS_* flags. I have some
      draft patches for this for ext4, but they are not quite ready for
      prime time yet.

  This was a discussion topic this year at LSF/MM too. If you're
  interested in the gory details, LWN has some good articles about this:
