4c728ef583 add a vfs_fsync helper
Fsync currently has a fdatawrite/fdatawait pair around the method call,
and a mutex_lock/unlock of the inode mutex.  All callers of fsync have
to duplicate this, but we have a few and most of them don't quite get
it right.  This patch adds a new vfs_fsync that takes care of this.
It's a little more complicated as usual as ->fsync might get a NULL file
pointer and just a dentry from nfsd, but otherwise gets afile and we
want to take the mapping and file operations from it when it is there.

Notes on the fsync callers:

 - ecryptfs wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the
   	lower file
 - coda wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the host
	file, and returning 0 when ->fsync was missing
 - shm wasn't calling either filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait nor
   taking i_mutex.  Now given that shared memory doesn't have disk
   backing not doing anything in fsync seems fine and I left it out of
   the vfs_fsync conversion for now, but in that case we might just
   not pass it through to the lower file at all but just call the no-op
   simple_sync_file directly.

[and now actually export vfs_fsync]

acfa4380ef inode->i_op is never NULL
We used to have rather schizophrenic set of checks for NULL ->i_op even
though it had been eliminated years ago.  You'd need to go out of your
way to set it to NULL explicitly _and_ a bunch of code would die on
such inodes anyway.  After killing two remaining places that still
did that bogosity, all that crap can go away.

5b6f1eb97d vfs: lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR) race condition
This patch fixes a race condition in lseek. While it is expected that
unpredictable behaviour may result while repositioning the offset of a
file descriptor concurrently with reading/writing to the same file
descriptor, this should not happen when merely *reading* the file
descriptor's offset.

Unfortunately, the only portable way in Unix to read a file
descriptor's offset is lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR); however executing this
concurrently with read/write may mess up the position.

d0eafc7db8 CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the devpts filesystem
Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.

Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().

Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id().  In some places it makes more
sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
addressed by later patches.

2a1b2dc0c8 Enable multiple instances of devpts
To support containers, allow multiple instances of devpts filesystem, such
that indices of ptys allocated in one instance are independent of ptys
allocated in other instances of devpts.

But to preserve backward compatibility, enable this support for multiple
instances only if:

	- CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES is set to Y, and
	- '-o newinstance' mount option is specified while mounting devpts

To use multi-instance mount, a container startup script could:

	$ ns_exec -cm /bin/bash
	$ umount /dev/pts
	$ mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts
	$ mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
	$ /usr/sbin/sshd -p 1234

where 'ns_exec -cm /bin/bash' is calls clone() with CLONE_NEWNS flag and execs
/bin/bash in the child process. A pty created by the sshd is not visible in
the original mount of /dev/pts.

USER-SPACE-IMPACT:
	- See Documentation/fs/devpts.txt (included in next patch) for user-
	  space impact in multi-instance and mixed-mode operation.
TODO:
	- Update mount(8), pts(4) man pages. Highlight impact of not
	  redirecting /dev/ptmx to /dev/pts/ptmx after a multi-instance mount.

Changelog[v6]:
	- [Dave Hansen] Use new get_init_pts_sb() interface
	- [Serge Hallyn] Don't bother displaying 'newinstance' in show_options
	- [Serge Hallyn] Use macros (PARSE_REMOUNT/PARSE_MOUNT) instead of 0/1.
	- [Serge Hallyn] Check error return from get_sb_single() (now
	  get_init_pts_sb())
	- devpts_pty_kill(): don't dput error dentries

Changelog[v5]:
	- Move get_sb_ref() definition to earlier patch
	- Move usage info to Documentation/filesystems/devpts.txt (next patch)
	- Make ptmx node even in init_pts_ns, now that default mode is 0000
	  (defined in earlier patch, enabled here).
	- Cache ptmx dentry and use to update mode during remount
	  (defined in earlier patch, enabled here).
	- Bugfix: explicitly ignore newinstance on remount (if newinstance was
	  specified on remount of initial mount, it would be ignored but
	  /proc/mounts would imply that the option was set)

Changelog[v4]:

	- Update patch description to address H. Peter Anvin's comments
	- Consolidate multi-instance mode code under new config token,
	  CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCE.
	- Move usage-details from patch description to
	  Documentation/fs/devpts.txt

Changelog[v3]:
	- Rename new mount option to 'newinstance'
	- Create ptmx nodes only in 'newinstance' mounts
	- Bugfix: parse_mount_options() modifies @data but since we need to
	  parse the @data twice (once in devpts_get_sb() and once during
	  do_remount_sb()), parse a local copy of @data in devpts_get_sb().
	  (restructured code in devpts_get_sb() to fix this)

Changelog[v2]:
	- Support both single-mount and multiple-mount semantics and
	  provide '-onewmnt' option to select the semantics.

1f8f1e2965 Define mknod_ptmx()
/dev/ptmx is closely tied to the devpts filesystem. An open of /dev/ptmx,
allocates the next pty index and the associated device shows up in the
devpts fs as /dev/pts/n.

Wih multiple instancs of devpts filesystem, during an open of /dev/ptmx
we would be unable to determine which instance of the devpts is being
accessed.

So we move the 'ptmx' node into /dev/pts and use the inode of the 'ptmx'
node to identify the superblock and hence the devpts instance.  This patch
adds ability for the kernel to internally create the [ptmx, c, 5:2] device
when mounting devpts filesystem.  Since the ptmx node in devpts is new and
may surprise some userspace scripts, the default permissions for the new
node is 0000.  These permissions can be changed either using chmod or by
remounting with the new '-o ptmxmode=0666' mount option.

Changelog[v5]:
	- [Serge Hallyn bugfix]: Letting new_inode() assign inode number to
	  ptmx can collide with hand-assigning inode numbers to ptys. So,
	  hand-assign specific inode number to ptmx node also.
	- [Serge Hallyn]: Maybe safer to grab root dentry mutex while creating
	  ptmx node
	- [Bugfix with Serge Hallyn] Replace lookup_one_len() in mknod_ptmx()
	  wih d_alloc_name() (lookup during ->get_sb() locks up system). To
	  simplify patchset, fold the ptmx_dentry patch into this.

Changelog[v4]:
	- Change default permissions of pts/ptmx node to 0000.
	- Move code for ptmxmode under #ifdef CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES.

Changelog[v3]:
	- Rename ptmx_mode to ptmxmode (for consistency with 'newinstance')

Changelog[v2]:
	- [H. Peter Anvin] Remove mknod() system call support and create the
	  ptmx node internally.

Changelog[v1]:
	- Earlier version of this patch enabled creating /dev/pts/tty as
	  well. As pointed out by Al Viro and H. Peter Anvin, that is not
	  really necessary.

nfsd: iget_locked() creates inode
nfsd: try to read from disk, block on that.
ext2_new_inode(): allocate inode with that inumber
ext2_new_inode(): insert it into icache, set it up and dirty
ext2_write_inode(): get the relevant part of inode table in cache,
set the entry for our inode (and start writing to disk)
nfsd: get CPU again, look into inode table, see nice and sane on-disk
inode, set the in-core inode from it

both used for IO.  Welcome to fs corruption...

Hash new inode, making sure that there's no such inode in icache
already.  If there is and it does not end up unhashed (as would
happen if we have nfsd trying to resolve a bogus fhandle), fail.
Otherwise insert our inode into hash and succeed.

In either case have i_state set to new+locked; cleanup ends up

c2acf7b908 fs/block_dev.c: __read_mostly improvement and sb_is_blkdev_sb utilization
- iget5_locked in bdget really needs blockdev_superblock, instead of
  bd_mnt, so bd_mnt could be just a local variable;

- blockdev_superblock really needs __read_mostly, while local var bd_mnt
  not;

- make use of sb_is_blkdev_sb in bd_forget, instead of direct reference
  to blockdev_superblock.

6badd79bd0 kill ->dir_notify()
Remove the hopelessly misguided ->dir_notify().  The only instance (cifs)
has been broken by design from the very beginning; the objects it creates
are never destroyed, keep references to struct file they can outlive, nothing
that could possibly evict them exists on close(2) path *and* no locking
whatsoever is done to prevent races with close(), should the previous, er,
deficiencies someday be dealt with.

b6b3fdead2 filp_cachep can be static in fs/file_table.c
Instead of creating the "filp" kmem_cache in vfs_caches_init(),
we can do it a litle be later in files_init(), so that filp_cachep
is static to fs/file_table.c

1239f26c05 make INIT_FS use the __RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED initialization
[AV: rediffed on top of unification of init_fs]
Initialization of init_fs still uses the deprecated RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED macro.
This patch updates it to use the __RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED(lock) macro.

cb23beb551 kill vfs_permission
With all the nameidata removal there's no point anymore for this helper.
Of the three callers left two will go away with the next lookup series
anyway.

Also add proper kerneldoc to inode_permission as this is the main
permission check routine now.

52afeefb9d expand some comments (d_path / seq_path)
Explain that you really need to use the return value of d_path rather than
the buffer you passed into it.

Also fix the comment for seq_path(), the function arguments changed
recently but the comment hadn't been updated in sync.
