Pull filesystem notification updates from Eric Paris:
"This pull mostly is about locking changes in the fsnotify system. By
switching the group lock from a spin_lock() to a mutex() we can now
hold the lock across things like iput(). This fixes a problem
involving unmounting a fs and having inodes be busy, first pointed out
by FAT, but reproducible with tmpfs.
This also restores signal driven I/O for inotify, which has been
broken since about 2.6.32."
Ugh. I *hate* the timing of this. It was rebased after the merge
window opened, and then left to sit with the pull request coming the day
before the merge window closes. That's just crap. But apparently the
patches themselves have been around for over a year, just gathering
dust, so now it's suddenly critical.
Fixed up semantic conflict in fs/notify/fdinfo.c as per Stephen
Rothwell's fixes from -next.

SGI-XP: handle non-fatal traps
We found a user code which was raising a divide-by-zero trap. That trap
would lead to XPC connections between system-partitions being torn down
due to the die_chain notifier callouts it received.
This also revealed a different issue where multiple callers into
xpc_die_deactivate() would all attempt to do the disconnect in parallel
which would sometimes lock up but often overwhelm the console on very
large machines as each would print at least one line of output at the
end of the deactivate.
I reviewed all the users of the die_chain notifier and changed the code
to ignore the notifier callouts for reasons which will not actually lead
to a system to continue on to call die().

linux/kernel.h: fix DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST with unsigned divisors
Commit
263a523d18bc ("linux/kernel.h: Fix warning seen with W=1 due to
change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST") fixes a warning seen with W=1 due to
change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST.
Unfortunately, the C compiler converts divide operations with unsigned
divisors to unsigned, even if the dividend is signed and negative (for
example, -10 / 5U =
858993457). The C standard says "If one operand has
unsigned int type, the other operand is converted to unsigned int", so
the compiler is not to blame. As a result, DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U) and
similar operations now return bad values, since the automatic conversion
of expressions such as "0 - 2U/2" to unsigned was not taken into
account.
Fix by checking for the divisor variable type when deciding which
operation to perform. This fixes DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U), but still
returns bad values for negative dividends divided by unsigned divisors.
Mark the latter case as unsupported.
One observed effect of this problem is that the s2c_hwmon driver reports
a value of
4198403 instead of 0 if the ADC reads 0.
Other impact is unpredictable. Problem is seen if the divisor is an
unsigned variable or constant and the dividend is less than (divisor/2).

Vincent's kernel wasn't calling rtc_device_release() - presumably a bug
in a specific sub-driver.

exec: do not leave bprm->interp on stack
If a series of scripts are executed, each triggering module loading via
unprintable bytes in the script header, kernel stack contents can leak
into the command line.
Normally execution of binfmt_script and binfmt_misc happens recursively.
However, when modules are enabled, and unprintable bytes exist in the
bprm->buf, execution will restart after attempting to load matching
binfmt modules. Unfortunately, the logic in binfmt_script and
binfmt_misc does not expect to get restarted. They leave bprm->interp
pointing to their local stack. This means on restart bprm->interp is
left pointing into unused stack memory which can then be copied into the
userspace argv areas.
After additional study, it seems that both recursion and restart remains
the desirable way to handle exec with scripts, misc, and modules. As
such, we need to protect the changes to interp.
This changes the logic to require allocation for any changes to the
bprm->interp. To avoid adding a new kmalloc to every exec, the default
value is left as-is. Only when passing through binfmt_script or
binfmt_misc does an allocation take place.
For a proof of concept, see DoTest.sh from:

drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c: fetch dmi version from SMBIOS if it exists
The right dmi version is in SMBIOS if it's zero in DMI region
This issue was originally found from an oracle bug.
One customer noticed system UUID doesn't match between dmidecode & uek2.
- HP ProLiant BL460c G6 :
# cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_uuid
00000000-0000-4C48-3031-
4D5030333531
# dmidecode | grep -i uuid
UUID:
00000000-0000-484C-3031-
4D5030333531
From SMBIOS 2.6 on, spec use little-endian encoding for UUID other than
network byte order.
So we need to get dmi version to distinguish. If version is 0.0, the
real version is taken from the SMBIOS version. This is part of original
kernel comment in code.

mm: fix calculation of dirtyable memory
The system uses global_dirtyable_memory() to calculate number of
dirtyable pages/pages that can be allocated to the page cache. A bug
causes an underflow thus making the page count look like a big unsigned
number. This in turn confuses the dirty writeback throttling to
aggressively write back pages as they become dirty (usually 1 page at a
time). This generally only affects systems with highmem because the
underflowed count gets subtracted from the global count of dirtyable
memory.
The problem was introduced with
v3.2-4896-gab8fabd
Fix is to ensure we don't get an underflowed total of either highmem or
global dirtyable memory.

FS-Cache: Clear remaining page count on retrieval cancellation
Provide fscache_cancel_op() with a pointer to a function it should invoke under
lock if it cancels an operation.
Use this to clear the remaining page count upon cancellation of a pending
retrieval operation so that fscache_release_retrieval_op() doesn't get an
assertion failure (see below). This can happen when a signal occurs, say from
CTRL-C being pressed during data retrieval.

FS-Cache: One of the write operation paths doesn't set the object state
In fscache_write_op(), if the object is determined to have become inactive or
to have lost its cookie, we don't move the operation state from in-progress,
and so an assertion in fscache_put_operation() fails with an assertion (see
below).
Instrumenting fscache_op_work_func() indicates that it called
fscache_write_op() before calling fscache_put_operation() - where the assertion
failed. The assertion at line 433 indicates that the operation state is
IN_PROGRESS rather than being COMPLETE or CANCELLED.
Instrumenting fscache_write_op() showed that it was being called on an object
that had had its cookie removed and that this was due to relinquishment of the
cookie by the netfs. At this point fscache no longer has access to the pages
of netfs data that were requested to be written, and so simply cancelling the
operation is the thing to do.

Commit
787314c35fbb ("Merge tag 'iommu-updates-v3.8' of

header location.
The headers were made local to mach-omap2 as they are specific to omap2+
only, and we wanted to get most of the #include <plat/*.h> headers fixed
up anyways for the ARM multiplatform support.
We attempted to avoid this kind of merge conflict early on by setting up
a minimal git branch shared by the arm-soc tree and the iommu tree, but
looks like we still hit a merge issue there as the branches got merged
as various topic branches.

nfs_migrate_page() calls nfs_fscache_release_page() which doesn't actually wait
- even if __GFP_WAIT is set. The reason that doesn't wait is that
fscache_maybe_release_page() might deadlock the allocator as the work threads
writing to the cache may all end up sleeping on memory allocation.
However, I wonder if that is actually a problem. There are a number of things
I can do to deal with this:
(1) Make nfs_migrate_page() wait.
(2) Make fscache_maybe_release_page() honour the __GFP_WAIT flag.
(3) Set a timeout around the wait.
(4) Make nfs_migrate_page() return an error if the page is still busy.
For the moment, I'll select (2) and (4).

FS-Cache: Exclusive op submission can BUG if there's been an I/O error
The function to submit an exclusive op (fscache_submit_exclusive_op()) can BUG
if there's been an I/O error because it may see the parent cache object in an
unexpected state. It should only BUG if there hasn't been an I/O error.
In this case the problem was produced by remounting the cache partition to be
R/O. The EROFS state was detected and the cache was aborted, but not
everything handled the aborting correctly.

NFS: Use FS-Cache invalidation
Use the new FS-Cache invalidation facility from NFS to deal with foreign
changes being detected on the server rather than attempting to retire the old
cookie and get a new one.
The problem with the old method was that NFS did not wait for all outstanding
storage and retrieval ops on the cache to complete. There was no automatic
wait between the calls to ->readpages() and calls to invalidate_inode_pages2()
as the latter can only wait on locked pages that have been added to the
pagecache (which they haven't yet on entry to ->readpages()).
This was leading to oopses like the one below when an outstanding read got cut
off from its cookie by a premature release.

CacheFiles: Implement invalidation
Implement invalidation for CacheFiles. This is in two parts:
(1) Provide an invalidation method (which just truncates the backing file).
(2) Abort attempts to copy anything read from the backing file whilst
invalidation is in progress.
Question: CacheFiles uses truncation in a couple of places. It has been using
notify_change() rather than sys_truncate() or something similar. This means
it bypasses a bunch of checks and suchlike that it possibly should be making
(security, file locking, lease breaking, vfsmount write). Should it be using
vfs_truncate() as added by a preceding patch or should it use notify_write()
and assume that anyone poking around in the cache files on disk gets
everything they deserve?

FS-Cache: Provide proper invalidation
Provide a proper invalidation method rather than relying on the netfs retiring
the cookie it has and getting a new one. The problem with this is that isn't
easy for the netfs to make sure that it has completed/cancelled all its
outstanding storage and retrieval operations on the cookie it is retiring.
Instead, have the cache provide an invalidation method that will cancel or wait
for all currently outstanding operations before invalidating the cache, and
will cause new operations to queue up behind that. Whilst invalidation is in
progress, some requests will be rejected until the cache can stack a barrier on
the operation queue to cause new operations to be deferred behind it.

Cyril and David have fixed some problems with NFS reexport (leaking
dentries and page locks), and there is a batch of patches from Yan
fixing problems with the fs client when running against a clustered
MDS. There are a few bug fixes mixed in for good measure, many of
which will be going to the stable trees once they're upstream.
My apologies for the late pull. There is still a gremlin in the rbd
map/unmap code and I was hoping to include the fix for that as well,
but we haven't been able to confirm the fix is correct yet; I'll send
that in a separate pull once it's nailed down."

FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accounting
Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of
what operations are in what states.
This is done by:
(1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the
state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch
of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is
queued or not.
This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various
points and to prevent invalid state transitions.
(2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the
completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call
it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op
in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled).
(3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better
govern the state of an object:
(a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object
and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only.
(b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been
taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being
run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only.
(c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been
submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by
fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op().
fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to
clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double
decrements against fscache_cancel_op().
fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to
double decrements against fscache_put_operation().
fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op
based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter
will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been
cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are
runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running.
(4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and
provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete.
When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and
fscache_op_complete() is called.
Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a
page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where
we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where
accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page.
The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the
following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the
cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns
all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's
nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.
