<content type='text'>
Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.

Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

In debug mode exofs is too verbose. Hiding the real problems
remove some trivial stuff.

Also fix some other prints.

If there was an error in fetching an object or extracting
inode info from attributes. Which means corrupted storage.
Let it be an empty ZERO dated directory entry so it can be
deleted. Otherwise the all directory will be inaccessible.

This does not loose data, because if there is an orphan object
somewhere it will be recovered by fschk. But usually this only
means corrupted dir entry. The object was never generated and
only its link exist. This way we can delete the bad entry.

With this minimal do nothing patch an application can open O_DIRECT
and then actually do buffered sync IO instead. But the aio API is
supported which is a good thing

<title>mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept length</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d47992f86b307985b3215bcf141d56d1849d71df</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
up to the certain point.

Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
page).

This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation
prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances
for it.

We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually
make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.

Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems
where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour
in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able
to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

<title>exofs: don't leak io_state and pages on read error</title>

Same bug as fixed by Idan for write_exec was in read_exec.
Fix the io_state leak and pages state on read error.

Also while at it:
The if (!pcol-&gt;read_4_write) at the error path is redundant
because all goto err; are after the if (pcol-&gt;read_4_write)
bale out.

<title>exofs: clean up the correct page collection on write error</title>

<content type='text'>
if ore_write() fails, we would unlock the pages of pcol, which is now
empty, rather than pcol_copy which owns the pages when ore_write() is
called. this means that no pages will actually be unlocked
(pcol.nr_pages == 0) and the writing process (more accurately, the
syncing process) will hang waiting for a writeback notification that
never comes.

moreover, if ore_write() fails, pcol_free() is called for pcol, whereas
pcol_copy is the object owning the ore_io_state, thus leaking the
ore_io_state.

I have simplified Idan's original patch a bit, everything else still
holds

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace
  support.  This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces
  enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user
  namespace.  Everything is converted except for the most complex of the
  filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs,
  nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review.

  The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into
  subsystems and filesystems as reasonable.  Leaving the make_kuid and
  from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values
  come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network.
  Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user
  namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues.

  The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit
  union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int.
  Those places were converted into explicit unions.  I made certain to
  handle those places with simple trivial patches.

  Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing
  quota by projid.  I had never heard of the project identifiers before.
  Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts
  for most of the code size growth in my git tree.

  Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from
  "capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing
  root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to
  non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications.

  While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code
  I made a few other cleanups.  I capitalized on the fact we process
  netlink messages in the context of the message sender.  I removed
  usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current-&gt;tty.

  Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no
  problems from identical code from different trees showing up in
  linux-next.

  After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to
  win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."

Fix up some fairly trivial conflicts in netfilter uid/git logging code.
