ee314a870e fuse: abort: no fc->lock needed for request ending
In fuse_abort_conn() when all requests are on private lists we no longer

365ae710df fuse: request_end(): do once
When the connection is aborted it is possible that request_end() will be
called twice.  Use atomic test and set to do the actual ending only once.

test_and_set_bit() also provides the necessary barrier semantics so no
explicit smp_wmb() is necessary.

77cd9d488b fuse: add req flag for private list
When an unlocked request is aborted, it is moved from fpq->io to a private
list.  Then, after unlocking fpq->lock, the private list is processed and
the requests are finished off.

To protect the private list, we need to mark the request with a flag, so if
in the meantime the request is unlocked the list is not corrupted.

8f7bb368db fuse: allow interrupt queuing without fc->lock
Interrupt is only queued after the request has been sent to userspace.
This is either done in request_wait_answer() or fuse_dev_do_read()
depending on which state the request is in at the time of the interrupt.
If it's not yet sent, then queuing the interrupt is postponed until the
request is read.  Otherwise (the request has already been read and is
waiting for an answer) the interrupt is queued immedidately.

We want to call queue_interrupt() without fc->lock protection, in which
case there can be a race between the two functions:

 - neither of them queue the interrupt (thinking the other one has already
   done it).

 - both of them queue the interrupt

The first one is prevented by adding memory barriers, the second is
prevented by checking (under fiq->waitq.lock) if the interrupt has already
been queued.

fd28f5d439 arm64: Don't report clear pmds and puds as huge
The current pmd_huge() and pud_huge() functions simply check if the table
bit is not set and reports the entries as huge in that case.  This is
counter-intuitive as a clear pmd/pud cannot also be a huge pmd/pud, and
it is inconsistent with at least arm and x86.

To prevent others from making the same mistake as me in looking at code
that calls these functions and to fix an issue with KVM on arm64 that
causes memory corruption due to incorrect page reference counting
resulting from this mistake, let's change the behavior.

5ba97d2832 fs/file.c: __fget() and dup2() atomicity rules
__fget() does lockless fetch of pointer from the descriptor
table, attempts to grab a reference and treats "it was already
zero" as "it's already gone from the table, we just hadn't
seen the store, let's fail".  Unfortunately, that breaks the
atomicity of dup2() - __fget() might see the old pointer,
notice that it's been already dropped and treat that as
"it's closed".  What we should be getting is either the
old file or new one, depending whether we come before or after
dup2().

Dmitry had following test failing sometimes :

int fd;
void *Thread(void *x) {
  char buf;
  int n = read(fd, &buf, 1);
  if (n != 1)
    exit(printf("read failed: n=%d errno=%d\n", n, errno));
  return 0;
}

int main()
{
  fd = open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY);
  int fd2 = open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY);
  if (fd == -1 || fd2 == -1)
    exit(printf("open failed\n"));
  pthread_t th;
  pthread_create(&th, 0, Thread, 0);
  if (dup2(fd2, fd) == -1)

  pthread_join(th, 0);
  if (close(fd) == -1)

8a81252b77 fs/file.c: don't acquire files->file_lock in fd_install()
Mateusz Guzik reported :

 Currently obtaining a new file descriptor results in locking fdtable
 twice - once in order to reserve a slot and second time to fill it.

Holding the spinlock in __fd_install() is needed in case a resize is
done, or to prevent a resize.

Mateusz provided an RFC patch and a micro benchmark :
  http://people.redhat.com/~mguzik/pipebench.c

A resize is an unlikely operation in a process lifetime,
as table size is at least doubled at every resize.

We can use RCU instead of the spinlock.

__fd_install() must wait if a resize is in progress.

The resize must block new __fd_install() callers from starting,
and wait that ongoing install are finished (synchronize_sched())

resize should be attempted by a single thread to not waste resources.

rcu_sched variant is used, as __fd_install() and expand_fdtable() run
from process context.

It gives us a ~30% speedup using pipebench on a dual Intel(R) Xeon(R)
CPU E5-2696 v2 @ 2.50GHz

2adc376c55 vfs: avoid creation of inode number 0 in get_next_ino
currently, get_next_ino() is able to create inodes with inode number = 0.
This have a bad impact in the filesystems relying in this function to generate
inode numbers.

While there is no problem at all in having inodes with number 0, userspace tools
which handle file management tasks can have problems handling these files, like
for example, the impossiblity of users to delete these files, since glibc will
ignore them. So, I believe the best way is kernel to avoid creating them.

This problem has been raised previously, but the old thread didn't have any
other update for a year+, and I've seen too many users hitting the same issue
regarding the impossibility to delete files while using filesystems relying on
this function. So, I'm starting the thread again, with the same patch
that I believe is enough to address this problem.

68b4449d79 xfs: update for 4.2-rc1
This update contains:
 
 o A new sparse on-disk inode record format to allow small extents to
   be used for inode allocation when free space is fragmented.
 o DAX support. This includes minor changes to the DAX core code to
   fix problems with lock ordering and bufferhead mapping abuse.
 o transaction commit interface cleanup
 o removal of various unnecessary XFS specific type definitions
 o cleanup and optimisation of freelist preparation before allocation
 o various minor cleanups
 o bug fixes for
 	- transaction reservation leaks
 	- incorrect inode logging in unwritten extent conversion
 	- mmap lock vs freeze ordering
 	- remote symlink mishandling
 	- attribute fork removal issues.

Pull btrfs updates from Chris Mason:
 "Outside of our usual batch of fixes, this integrates the subvolume
  quota updates that Qu Wenruo from Fujitsu has been working on for a
  few releases now.  He gets an extra gold star for making btrfs smaller
  this time, and fixing a number of quota corners in the process.

  Dave Sterba tested and integrated Anand Jain's sysfs improvements.
  Outside of exporting a symbol (ack'd by Greg) these are all internal
  to btrfs and it's mostly cleanups and fixes.  Anand also attached some
  of our sysfs objects to our internal device management structs instead
  of an object off the super block.  It will make device management
  easier overall and it's a better fit for how the sysfs files are used.
  None of the existing sysfs files are moved around.

  Thanks for all the fixes everyone"
