      fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix · 54566b2c
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
      could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
      allocations happened.  They are done in write_begin, which would always
      assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim.  This bug could
      cause filesystem deadlocks.
      
      The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
      allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
      called.  It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
      take the page lock.  The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
      anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
      
      Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS.  Filesystems can now act on
      this flag in their write_begin function.  Change __grab_cache_page to
      accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
      change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
      and does away with random leading underscores).
      
      This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
      filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
      ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
      GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg.  ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
      random example).

      viafb: fix crashes due to 4k stack overflow · e687d691
      Bruno Prémont 提交于
      The function viafb_cursor() uses 2 stack-variables of CURSOR_SIZE bits;
      CURSOR_SIZE is defined as (8 * 1024).  Using up twice 1k on stack is too
      much for 4k-stack (though it works with 8k-stacks).  Make those two
      variables kzalloc'ed to preserve stack space.
      
      Also merge the whole lot of local struct's in viafb_ioctl into a union so
      the stack usage gets minimized here as well.  (struct's are only accessed
      in their indicidual IOCTL case) This second part is only compile-tested as
      I know of no userspace app using the IOCTLs.

      fs: introduce bgl_lock_ptr() · c644f0e4
      Pekka Enberg 提交于
      As suggested by Andreas Dilger, introduce a bgl_lock_ptr() helper in
      <linux/blockgroup_lock.h> and add separate sb_bgl_lock() helpers to
      filesystem specific header files to break the hidden dependency to
      struct ext[234]_sb_info.
      
      Also, while at it, convert the macros to static inlines to try make up
      for all the times I broke Andrew Morton's tree.

      cgroups: fix a race between cgroup_clone and umount · 7b574b7b
      Li Zefan 提交于
      The race is calling cgroup_clone() while umounting the ns cgroup subsys,
      and thus cgroup_clone() might access invalid cgroup_fs, or kill_sb() is
      called after cgroup_clone() created a new dir in it.
      
      The BUG I triggered is BUG_ON(root->number_of_cgroups != 1);
