Functions generic_file_splice_read and generic_file_splice_write access
the pagecache directly. For block devices these functions must be locked
so that block size is not changed while they are in progress.
This patch is an additional fix for commit b87570f5d3 ("Fix a crash
when block device is read and block size is changed at the same time")
that locked aio_read, aio_write and mmap against block size change.

In commit 800179c9b8 ("This adds symlink and hardlink restrictions to
the Linux VFS"), the new link protections were enabled by default, in
the hope that no actual application would care, despite it being
technically against legacy UNIX (and documented POSIX) behavior.
However, it does turn out to break some applications. It's rare, and
it's unfortunate, but it's unacceptable to break existing systems, so
we'll have to default to legacy behavior.
In particular, it has broken the way AFD distributes files, see
http://www.dwd.de/AFD/
along with some legacy scripts.
Distributions can end up setting this at initrd time or in system
scripts: if you have security problems due to link attacks during your
early boot sequence, you have bigger problems than some kernel sysctl
setting. Do:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_symlinks
echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks
to re-enable the link protections.
Alternatively, we may at some point introduce a kernel config option
that sets these kinds of "more secure but not traditional" behavioural
options automatically.

Deadlock happened.
It is because of the nested chunk allocation. When we wrote the data
into the filesystem, we would allocate the data chunk because there was
no data chunk in the filesystem. At the end of the data chunk allocation,
we should insert the metadata of the data chunk into the extent tree, but
there was no raid1 chunk, so we tried to lock the chunk allocation mutex to
allocate the new chunk, but we had held the mutex, the deadlock happened.
By rights, we would allocate the raid1 chunk when we added the second device
because the profile of the seed filesystem is raid1 and we had two devices.
But we didn't do that in fact. It is because the last step of the first device
insertion didn't commit the transaction. So when we added the second device,
we didn't cow the tree, and just inserted the relative metadata into the leaves
which were generated by the first device insertion, and its profile was dup.
So, I fix this problem by commiting the transaction at the end of the first
device insertion.

To see the problem, create many hardlinks to the same file (120 should do it),
then look up paths by inode with:
ls -i
btrfs inspect inode-resolve -v $ino /mnt/btrfs
I noticed the memory layout of the fspath->val data had some irregularities
(some unnecessary gaps that stop appearing about halfway),
so I'm not sure there aren't any bugs left in it.
The warning check for duplicate sysfs entries can cause a buffer overflow
when printing the warning, as strcat() doesn't check buffer sizes.
Use strlcat() instead.
Since strlcat() doesn't return a pointer to the passed buffer, unlike
strcat(), I had to convert the nested concatenation in sysfs_add_one() to
an admittedly more obscure comma operator construct, to avoid emitting code
for the concatenation if CONFIG_BUG is disabled.

In certain cases (for example when a cdev structure is embedded into
another object whose lifetime is controlled by a separate kobject) it is
beneficial to tie lifetime of another object to the lifetime of
character device so that related object is not freed until after
char_dev object is freed.
To achieve this let's pin kobject's parent when doing cdev_add() and
unpin when last reference to cdev structure is being released.

If the name passed to simple_xattr_remove() does not exist in the list of
xattrs, then it is possible to call kfree(new_xattr) when new_xattr is
actually initialized to itself on the stack via uninitialized_var().
This causes a BUG() since the memory was not allocated via the slab
allocator and was not bypassed through to the page allocator because it
was too large.
Initialize the local variable to NULL so the kfree() never takes place.

Currently when 'range->start' is beyond the end of file system
nothing is done and that fact is ignored, where in fact we should return
EINVAL. The same problem is when 'range.len' is smaller than file system
block.
Fix this by adding check for such conditions and return EINVAL
appropriately.

If the filehandle is stale, or open access is denied for some reason,
nlm_fopen() may return one of the NLMv4-specific error codes nlm4_stale_fh
or nlm4_failed. These get passed right through nlm_lookup_file(),
and so when nlmsvc_retrieve_args() calls the latter, it needs to filter
the result through the cast_status() machinery.
Failure to do so, will trigger the BUG_ON() in encode_nlm_stat...

fix a leak in replace_fd() users
When reading /proc/pid/numa_maps, it's possible to return the contents of
the stack where the mempolicy string should be printed if the policy gets
freed from beneath us.
This happens because mpol_to_str() may return an error the
stack-allocated buffer is then printed without ever being stored.
There are two possible error conditions in mpol_to_str():
- if the buffer allocated is insufficient for the string to be stored,
and
- if the mempolicy has an invalid mode.
The first error condition is not triggered in any of the callers to
mpol_to_str(): at least 50 bytes is always allocated on the stack and this
is sufficient for the string to be written. A future patch should convert
this into BUILD_BUG_ON() since we know the maximum strlen possible, but
that's not -rc material.
The second error condition is possible if a race occurs in dropping a
reference to a task's mempolicy causing it to be freed during the read().
The slab poison value is then used for the mode and mpol_to_str() returns
-EINVAL.
This race is only possible because get_vma_policy() believes that
mm->mmap_sem protects task->mempolicy, which isn't true. The exit path
does not hold mm->mmap_sem when dropping the reference or setting
task->mempolicy to NULL: it uses task_lock(task) instead.
Thus, it's required for the caller of a task mempolicy to hold
task_lock(task) while grabbing the mempolicy and reading it. Callers with
a vma policy store their mempolicy earlier and can simply increment the
reference count so it's guaranteed not to be freed.

replace_fd() began with "eats a reference, tries to insert into
descriptor table" semantics; at some point I'd switched it to
much saner current behaviour ("try to insert into descriptor
table, grabbing a new reference if inserted; caller should do
fput() in any case"), but forgot to update the callers.
Mea culpa...

The result of the bit shift expression in
'1 << sbi->s_log_groups_per_flex' can be undefined in the case that
s_log_groups_per_flex is 31 because the result of the shift is bigger
than INT_MAX. In reality this probably should not cause much problems
since we'll end up with INT_MIN which will then be converted into
'unsigned int' type, but nevertheless according to the ISO C99 the
result is actually undefined.
Fix this by changing the left operand to 'unsigned int' type.
Note that the commit d50f2ab6f0 already
tried to fix the undefined behaviour, but this was missed.
Thanks to Laszlo Ersek for pointing this out and suggesting the fix.
