738b04fba1 Staging/IIO patches for 4.20-rc1
Here is the big staging and IIO driver pull request for 4.20-rc1.
 
 There are lots of things here, we ended up adding more lines than
 removing, thanks to a large influx of Comedi National Instrument device
 support.  Someday soon we need to get comedi out of staging...
 
 Other than the comedi drivers, the "big" things here are:
   - new iio drivers
   - delete dgnc driver (no one used it and no one had the hardware
     anymore)
   - vbox driver updates and fixes
   - erofs fixes
   - tons and tons of tiny checkpatch fixes for almost all staging
     drivers
 
 All of these have been in linux-next, with the last few happening a bit
 "late" due to them getting stuck on my laptop during travel to the
 Mantainers summit.
 
 When merging with your tree, there will be 2 merge conflicts, both files
 will be simple to resolve, just delete them :)

61f94e18de mm, proc: add KReclaimable to /proc/meminfo
The vmstat NR_KERNEL_MISC_RECLAIMABLE counter is for kernel non-slab
allocations that can be reclaimed via shrinker.  In /proc/meminfo, we can
show the sum of all reclaimable kernel allocations (including slab) as
"KReclaimable".  Add the same counter also to per-node meminfo under /sys

With this counter, users will have more complete information about kernel
memory usage.  Non-slab reclaimable pages (currently just the ION
allocator) will not be missing from /proc/meminfo, making users wonder
where part of their memory went.  More precisely, they already appear in
MemAvailable, but without the new counter, it's not obvious why the value
in MemAvailable doesn't fully correspond with the sum of other counters
participating in it.

 mount option which we can disable/enable checkpoint to provide atomic updates of
 entire filesystem, 3) refactored quota operations to enhance its consistency
 along with checkpoint, 4) fixed subtle IO hang conditions and roll-forward
 recovery flow to resurrect any fsync'ed inode metadata.
 
 Enhancement:
  - add checksum to keep superblock contents more safe
  - add checkpoint=disable/enable to support A/B update of entire filesystem
  - use plug for readahead IO in readdir
  - add more IO counts to avoid block layer hacks
 
 Bug fix:
  - prevent data corruption issue for hardware encryption
  - fix IO hang issues when GC is heavily triggered
  - add missing up_read in __write_node_page
  - recover inode metadata during roll-forward recovery flow
  - fix null pointer dereference issue in wrongly configured discard map
 
 There are some more sanity checks and minor bug fixes as well.

With the preparations all being done this patch now enables authentication
support for UBIFS. Authentication is enabled when the newly introduced
auth_key and auth_hash_name mount options are passed. auth_key provides
the key which is used for authentication whereas auth_hash_name provides
the hashing algorithm used for this FS. Passing these options make
authentication mandatory and only UBIFS images that can be authenticated
with the given key are allowed.

ea4cdc548e ceph: new mount option to disable usage of copy-from op
Add a new mount option 'nocopyfrom' that will prevent the usage of the
RADOS 'copy-from' operation in cephfs.  This could be useful, for example,
for an administrator to temporarily mitigate any possible bugs in the
'copy-from' implementation.

Currently, only copy_file_range uses this RADOS operation.  Setting this
mount option will result in this syscall reverting to the default VFS
implementation, i.e. to perform the copies locally instead of doing remote
object copies.

4354994f09 f2fs: checkpoint disabling
Note that, it requires "f2fs: return correct errno in f2fs_gc".

This adds a lightweight non-persistent snapshotting scheme to f2fs.

To use, mount with the option checkpoint=disable, and to return to
normal operation, remount with checkpoint=enable. If the filesystem
is shut down before remounting with checkpoint=enable, it will revert
back to its apparent state when it was first mounted with
checkpoint=disable. This is useful for situations where you wish to be
able to roll back the state of the disk in case of some critical
failure.

("staging: pohmelfs: remove drivers/staging/pohmelfs") promising that
a newer version will be included to the kernel, but unfortunately
it didn't happen.

Since likely any delopment of the filesystem is halted, the change removes

a7ddcea58a Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/
This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.

The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)

A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
it is time to just throw them out.

A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.

List of outdated 00-INDEX:
Documentation: (4/10)
Documentation/sysctl: (0/1)
Documentation/timers: (1/0)
Documentation/blockdev: (3/1)
Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1)
Documentation/locking: (0/1)
Documentation/devicetree: (0/5)
Documentation/power: (1/1)
Documentation/powerpc: (0/5)
Documentation/arm: (1/0)
Documentation/x86: (0/9)
Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1)
Documentation/scsi: (4/4)
Documentation/filesystems: (2/9)
Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2)
Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2)
Documentation/kbuild: (0/4)
Documentation/spi: (1/0)
Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0)
Documentation/scheduler: (0/2)
Documentation/fb: (0/1)
Documentation/block: (0/1)
Documentation/networking: (6/37)
Documentation/vm: (1/3)

Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that
are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no
00-INDEX).

I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
if we just want to delete them anyway.

As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and
see where the discussion is going.

578bdaabd0 crypto: speck - remove Speck
These are unused, undesired, and have never actually been used by
anybody. The original authors of this code have changed their mind about
its inclusion. While originally proposed for disk encryption on low-end
devices, the idea was discarded [1] in favor of something else before
that could really get going. Therefore, this patch removes Speck.

fe6f0ed0da f2fs-for-4.19-rc1
In this round, we've tuned f2fs to improve general performance by serializing
 block allocation and enhancing discard flows like fstrim which avoids user IO
 contention. And we've added fsync_mode=nobarrier which gives an option to user
 where it skips issuing cache_flush commands to underlying flash storage. And
 there are many bug fixes related to fuzzed images, revoked atomic writes, quota
 ops, and minor direct IO.
 
 Enhancement:
  - add fsync_mode=nobarrier which bypasses cache_flush command
  - enhance the discarding flow which avoids user IOs and issues in LBA order
  - readahead some encrypted blocks during GC
  - enable in-memory inode checksum to verify the blocks if F2FS_CHECK_FS is set
  - enhance nat_bits behavior
  - set -o discard by default
  - set REQ_RAHEAD to bio in ->readpages
 
 Bug fixes:
  - fix a corner case to corrupt atomic_writes revoking flow
  - revisit i_gc_rwsem to fix race conditions
  - fix some dio behaviors captured by xfstests
  - correct handling errors given by quota-related failures
  - add many sanity check flows to avoid fuzz test failures
  - add more error number propagation to their callers
  - fix several corner cases to continue fault injection w/ shutdown loop

7e8a6304d5 /proc/meminfo: add percpu populated pages count
Currently, percpu memory only exposes allocation and utilization
information via debugfs.  This more or less is only really useful for
understanding the fragmentation and allocation information at a per-chunk
level with a few global counters.  This is also gated behind a config.
BPF and cgroup, for example, have seen an increase in use causing
increased use of percpu memory.  Let's make it easier for someone to
identify how much memory is being used.

This patch adds the "Percpu" stat to meminfo to more easily look up how
much percpu memory is in use.  This number includes the cost for all
allocated backing pages and not just insight at the per a unit, per chunk
level.  Metadata is excluded.  I think excluding metadata is fair because
the backing memory scales with the numbere of cpus and can quickly
outweigh the metadata.  It also makes this calculation light.

1f4aace60b fs/seq_file.c: simplify seq_file iteration code and interface
The documentation for seq_file suggests that it is necessary to be able
to move the iterator to a given offset, however that is not the case.
If the iterator is stored in the private data and is stable from one
read() syscall to the next, it is only necessary to support first/next
interactions.  Implementing this in a client is a little clumsy.

 - if ->start() is given a pos of zero, it should go to start of
   sequence.

 - if ->start() is given the name pos that was given to the most recent
   next() or start(), it should restore the iterator to state just
   before that last call

 - if ->start is given another number, it should set the iterator one
   beyond the start just before the last ->start or ->next call.

Also, the documentation says that the implementation can interpret the
pos however it likes (other than zero meaning start), but seq_file
increments the pos sometimes which does impose on the implementation.

This patch simplifies the interface for first/next iteration and
simplifies the code, while maintaining complete backward compatability.
Now:

 - if ->start() is given a pos of zero, it should return an iterator
   placed at the start of the sequence

 - if ->start() is given a non-zero pos, it should return the iterator
   in the same state it was after the last ->start or ->next.

This is particularly useful for interators which walk the multiple
chains in a hash table, e.g.  using rhashtable_walk*.  See
fs/gfs2/glock.c and drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/llite/vvp_dev.c

A large part of achieving this is to *always* call ->next after ->show
has successfully stored all of an entry in the buffer.  Never just
increment the index instead.  Also:

 - always pass &m->index to ->start() and ->next(), never a temp
   variable

 - don't clear ->from when ->count is zero, as ->from is dead when
   ->count is zero.

Some ->next functions do not increment *pos when they return NULL.  To
maintain compatability with this, we still need to increment m->index in
one place, if ->next didn't increment it.  Note that such ->next
functions are buggy and should be fixed.  A simple demonstration is

   dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1000 skip=1

Choose any block size larger than the size of /proc/swaps.  This will
always show the whole last line of /proc/swaps.

This patch doesn't work around buggy next() functions for this case.

781fca5b10 Changes for 4.19:
- Use extent maps to track pagecache page status instead of bufferhead
   state.
 - Refactor pagecache read and write paths to use the new iomap library
   functions, which enable us to drop the old bufferhead code for
   pagesize == blocksize filesystems.
 - Set up parallel per-block-per-page metadata to track subpage
   information that was tracked by buffer heads, which enables us to drop
   the old bufferhead code for pagesize > blocksize filesystems.
 - Tie a deferred ops control structure to a transaction so that we can
   take advantage of an upper-level dfops without having to plumb pointer
   passing through the code.
 - Refactor the deferred ops code to track deferred ops as part of the
   transaction structure (instead of as a separate data structure) so
   that we can simplify the scoping rules around defer_ops.
 - Refactor twisty delwri buffer submission code to avoid deadlocks.
 - Shorten and fix indenting problems in the scrub code.
 - Detect obviously bad summary counts at mount and fix them.
 - Directly associate deferred ops control structure with a transaction
   so that callers no longer have to manage it themselves.
 - Remove a couple of IRIX-era inode macros.
 - Remove the long-deprecated 'barrier' and 'nobarrier' mount options.
 - Clean up the inode fork structure a bit.
 - Check for bad fs summary counter values in the superblock.
 - Reduce COW fork lookups during writeback.
 - Refactor the deferred ops control structures into the transaction
   structure, thereby eliminating the need for transaction users to
   handle the deferred ops as a separate data structure.
 - Add the ability to repair AG headers online.
 - Fix a crash due to insufficient return value checking.
 - Various fixes and cleanups.

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
 "This is the second part of the XFS changes for 4.19.

  The biggest changes are the removal of buffer heads frm XFS, a massive
  reworking of the deferred transaction operations handling code, the
  removal of the long defunct barrier/nobarrier mount options, and the
  addition of a few more online repair functions.

  Summary:

   - Use extent maps to track pagecache page status instead of
     bufferhead state.

   - Refactor pagecache read and write paths to use the new iomap
     library functions, which enable us to drop the old bufferhead code
     for pagesize == blocksize filesystems.

   - Set up parallel per-block-per-page metadata to track subpage
     information that was tracked by buffer heads, which enables us to
     drop the old bufferhead code for pagesize > blocksize filesystems.

   - Tie a deferred ops control structure to a transaction so that we
     can take advantage of an upper-level dfops without having to plumb
     pointer passing through the code.

   - Refactor the deferred ops code to track deferred ops as part of the
     transaction structure (instead of as a separate data structure) so
     that we can simplify the scoping rules around defer_ops.

   - Refactor twisty delwri buffer submission code to avoid deadlocks.

d494500a70 f2fs: support fault_type mount option
Previously, once fault injection is on, by default, all kind of faults
will be injected to f2fs, if we want to trigger single or specified
combined type during the test, we need to configure sysfs entry, it will
be a little inconvenient to integrate sysfs configuring into testsuit,
such as xfstest.

So this patch introduces a new mount option 'fault_type' to assist old
option 'fault_injection', with these two mount options, we can specify
any fault rate/type at mount-time.

d5791044d2 ovl: Provide a mount option metacopy=on/off for metadata copyup
By default metadata only copy up is disabled.  Provide a mount option so
that users can choose one way or other.

Also provide a kernel config and module option to enable/disable metacopy
feature.

metacopy feature requires redirect_dir=on when upper is present.
Otherwise, it requires redirect_dir=follow atleast.

As of now, metacopy does not work with nfs_export=on.  So if both
metacopy=on and nfs_export=on then nfs_export is disabled.

a11e1d432b Revert changes to convert to ->poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLL
The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained.  They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"->poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.

Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
"->get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
to the poll head instead.  That gets rid of one of the new indirections.

But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
for the regular case.  The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
redesign.

[ This revert is a revert of about 30 different commits, not reverted
  individually because that would just be unnecessarily messy  - Linus ]

d54d35c501 f2fs-for-4.18-rc1
In this round, we've mainly focused on discard, aka unmap, control along with
 fstrim for Android-specific usage model. In addition, we've fixed writepage flow
 which returned EAGAIN previously resulting in EIO of fsync(2) due to mapping's
 error state. In order to avoid old MM bug [1], we decided not to use __GFP_ZERO
 for the mapping for node and meta page caches. As always, we've cleaned up many
 places for future fsverity and symbol conflicts.
 
 Enhancement:
  - do discard/fstrim in lower priority considering fs utilization
  - split large discard commands into smaller ones for better responsiveness
  - add more sanity checks to address syzbot reports
  - add a mount option, fsync_mode=nobarrier, which can reduce # of cache flushes
  - clean up symbol namespace with modified function names
  - be strict on block allocation and IO control in corner cases
 
 Bug fix:
  - don't use __GFP_ZERO for mappings
  - fix error reports in writepage to avoid fsync() failure
  - avoid selinux denial on CAP_RESOURCE on resgid/resuid
  - fix some subtle race conditions in GC/atomic writes/shutdown
  - fix overflow bugs in sanity_check_raw_super
  - fix missing bits on get_flags
 
 Clean-up:
  - prepare the generic flow for future fsverity integration
  - fix some broken coding standard

eafdca4d70 Staging/IIO patches for 4.18-rc1
Here is the big staging and IIO driver update for 4.18-rc1.
 
 It was delayed as I wanted to make sure the final driver deletions did
 not cause any major merge issues, and all now looks good.
 
 There are a lot of patches here, just over 1000.  The diffstat summary
 shows the major changes here:
 	1007 files changed, 16828 insertions(+), 227770 deletions(-)
 Because of this, we might be close to shrinking the overall kernel
 source code size for two releases in a row.
 
 There was loads of work in this release cycle, primarily:
 	- tons of ks7010 driver cleanups
 	- lots of mt7621 driver fixes and cleanups
 	- most driver cleanups
 	- wilc1000 fixes and cleanups
 	- lots and lots of IIO driver cleanups and new additions
 	- debugfs cleanups for all staging drivers
 	- lots of other staging driver cleanups and fixes, the shortlog
 	  has the full details.
 
 but the big user-visable things here are the removal of 3 chunks of
 code:
 	- ncpfs and ipx were removed on schedule, no one has cared about
 	  this code since it moved to staging last year, and if it needs
 	  to come back, it can be reverted.
 	- lustre file system is removed.  I've ranted at the lustre
 	  developers about once a year for the past 5 years, with no
 	  real forward progress at all to clean things up and get the
 	  code into the "real" part of the kernel.  Given that the
 	  lustre developers continue to work on an external tree and try
 	  to port those changes to the in-kernel tree every once in a
 	  while, this whole thing really really is not working out at
 	  all.  So I'm deleting it so that the developers can spend the
 	  time working in their out-of-tree location and get things
 	  cleaned up properly to get merged into the tree correctly at a
 	  later date.
 
 Because of these file removals, you will have merge issues on some of
 these files (2 in the ipx code, 1 in the ncpfs code, and 1 in the
 atomisp driver).  Just delete those files, it's a simple merge :)
 
 All of this has been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 problems.

12d28f7955 fscrypt: add Speck128/256 support
fscrypt currently only supports AES encryption.  However, many low-end
mobile devices have older CPUs that don't have AES instructions, e.g.
the ARMv8 Cryptography Extensions.  Currently, user data on such devices
is not encrypted at rest because AES is too slow, even when the NEON
bit-sliced implementation of AES is used.  Unfortunately, it is
infeasible to encrypt these devices at all when AES is the only option.

Therefore, this patch updates fscrypt to support the Speck block cipher,
which was recently added to the crypto API.  The C implementation of
Speck is not especially fast, but Speck can be implemented very
efficiently with general-purpose vector instructions, e.g. ARM NEON.
For example, on an ARMv7 processor, we measured the NEON-accelerated
Speck128/256-XTS at 69 MB/s for both encryption and decryption, while
AES-256-XTS with the NEON bit-sliced implementation was only 22 MB/s
encryption and 19 MB/s decryption.

There are multiple variants of Speck.  This patch only adds support for
Speck128/256, which is the variant with a 128-bit block size and 256-bit
key size -- the same as AES-256.  This is believed to be the most secure
variant of Speck, and it's only about 6% slower than Speck128/128.
Speck64/128 would be at least 20% faster because it has 20% rounds, and
it can be even faster on CPUs that can't efficiently do the 64-bit
operations needed for Speck128.  However, Speck64's 64-bit block size is
not preferred security-wise.  ARM NEON also supports the needed 64-bit
operations even on 32-bit CPUs, resulting in Speck128 being fast enough
for our targeted use cases so far.

The chosen modes of operation are XTS for contents and CTS-CBC for
filenames.  These are the same modes of operation that fscrypt defaults
to for AES.  Note that as with the other fscrypt modes, Speck will not
be used unless userspace chooses to use it.  Nor are any of the existing
modes (which are all AES-based) being removed, of course.

We intentionally don't make CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION select
CONFIG_CRYPTO_SPECK, so people will have to enable Speck support
themselves if they need it.  This is because we shouldn't bloat the
FS_ENCRYPTION dependencies with every new cipher, especially ones that
aren't recommended for most users.  Moreover, CRYPTO_SPECK is just the
generic implementation, which won't be fast enough for many users; in
practice, they'll need to enable CRYPTO_SPECK_NEON to get acceptable
performance.

More details about our choice of Speck can be found in our patches that
added Speck to the crypto API, and the follow-on discussion threads.
We're planning a publication that explains the choice in more detail.
But briefly, we can't use ChaCha20 as we previously proposed, since it
would be insecure to use a stream cipher in this context, with potential
IV reuse during writes on f2fs and/or on wear-leveling flash storage.

We also evaluated many other lightweight and/or ARX-based block ciphers
such as Chaskey-LTS, RC5, LEA, CHAM, Threefish, RC6, NOEKEON, SPARX, and
XTEA.  However, all had disadvantages vs. Speck, such as insufficient
performance with NEON, much less published cryptanalysis, or an
insufficient security level.  Various design choices in Speck make it
perform better with NEON than competing ciphers while still having a
security margin similar to AES, and in the case of Speck128 also the
same available security levels.  Unfortunately, Speck does have some
political baggage attached -- it's an NSA designed cipher, and was
rejected from an ISO standard (though for context, as far as I know none
of the above-mentioned alternatives are ISO standards either).
Nevertheless, we believe it is a good solution to the problem from a
technical perspective.

Certain algorithms constructed from ChaCha or the ChaCha permutation,
such as MEM (Masked Even-Mansour) or HPolyC, may also meet our
performance requirements.  However, these are new constructions that
need more time to receive the cryptographic review and acceptance needed
to be confident in their security.  HPolyC hasn't been published yet,
and we are concerned that MEM makes stronger assumptions about the
underlying permutation than the ChaCha stream cipher does.  In contrast,
the XTS mode of operation is relatively well accepted, and Speck has
over 70 cryptanalysis papers.  Of course, these ChaCha-based algorithms
can still be added later if they become ready.

The best known attack on Speck128/256 is a differential cryptanalysis
attack on 25 of 34 rounds with 2^253 time complexity and 2^125 chosen
plaintexts, i.e. only marginally faster than brute force.  There is no
known attack on the full 34 rounds.

c04d2cb200 ipconfig: Write NTP server IPs to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers
Distributed filesystems are most effective when the server and client
clocks are synchronised. Embedded devices often use NFS for their
root filesystem but typically do not contain an RTC, so the clocks of
the NFS server and the embedded device will be out-of-sync when the root
filesystem is mounted (and may not be synchronised until late in the
boot process).

Extend ipconfig with the ability to export IP addresses of NTP servers
it discovers to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers. They can be supplied as
follows:

 - If ipconfig is configured manually via the "ip=" or "nfsaddrs="
   kernel command line parameters, one NTP server can be specified in
   the new "<ntp0-ip>" parameter.
 - If ipconfig is autoconfigured via DHCP, request DHCP option 42 in
   the DHCPDISCOVER message, and record the IP addresses of up to three
   NTP servers sent by the responding DHCP server in the subsequent
   DHCPOFFER message.

ipconfig will only write the NTP server IP addresses it discovers to
/proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers, one per line (in the order received from
the DHCP server, if DHCP autoconfiguration is used); making use of these
NTP servers is the responsibility of a user space process (e.g. an
initrd/initram script that invokes an NTP client before mounting an NFS
root filesystem).

48023102b7 Merge branch 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs
Pull overlayfs updates from Miklos Szeredi:
 "In addition to bug fixes and cleanups there are two new features from
  Amir:

   - Consistent inode number support for the case when layers are not
     all on the same filesystem (feature is dubbed "xino").

   - Optimize overlayfs file handle decoding. This one touches the
     exportfs interface to allow detecting the disconnected directory
     case"

* 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs:
  ovl: update documentation w.r.t "xino" feature
  ovl: add support for "xino" mount and config options
  ovl: consistent d_ino for non-samefs with xino
  ovl: consistent i_ino for non-samefs with xino
  ovl: constant st_ino for non-samefs with xino
  ovl: allocate anon bdev per unique lower fs
  ovl: factor out ovl_map_dev_ino() helper
  ovl: cleanup ovl_update_time()
  ovl: add WARN_ON() for non-dir redirect cases
  ovl: cleanup setting OVL_INDEX
  ovl: set d->is_dir and d->opaque for last path element
  ovl: Do not check for redirect if this is last layer
  ovl: lookup in inode cache first when decoding lower file handle
  ovl: do not try to reconnect a disconnected origin dentry
  ovl: disambiguate ovl_encode_fh()
  ovl: set lower layer st_dev only if setting lower st_ino
  ovl: fix lookup with middle layer opaque dir and absolute path redirects
  ovl: Set d->last properly during lookup
  ovl: set i_ino to the value of st_ino for NFS export

4ac1800f81 We decided to request the latest three patches to be merged into this
merge window while it's still open.
 
 1. The first patch adds a new function to lockref: lockref_put_not_zero
 2. The second patch fixes GFS2's glock dump code so it uses the new lockref
    function. This fixes a problem whereby lock dumps could miss glocks.
 3. I made a minor patch to update some comments and fix the lock ordering
    text in our gfs2-glocks.txt Documentation file.
