      Fix racy use of anon_inode_getfd() in perf_event.c · ea635c64
      Al Viro authored 
      once anon_inode_getfd() is called, you can't expect *anything* about
struct file that descriptor points to - another thread might be doing
whatever it likes with descriptor table at that point.

      get rid of the magic around f_count in aio · d7065da0
      Al Viro authored 
      __aio_put_req() plays sick games with file refcount.  What
it wants is fput() from atomic context; it's almost always
done with f_count > 1, so they only have to deal with delayed
work in rare cases when their reference happens to be the
last one.  Current code decrements f_count and if it hasn't
hit 0, everything is fine.  Otherwise it keeps a pointer
to struct file (with zero f_count!) around and has delayed
work do __fput() on it.

Better way to do it: use atomic_long_add_unless( , -1, 1)
instead of !atomic_long_dec_and_test().  IOW, decrement it
only if it's not the last reference, leave refcount alone
if it was.  And use normal fput() in delayed work.

I've made that atomic_long_add_unless call a new helper -
fput_atomic().  Drops a reference to file if it's safe to
do in atomic (i.e. if that's not the last one), tells if
it had been able to do that.  aio.c converted to it, __fput()
use is gone.  req->ki_file *always* contributes to refcount
now.  And __fput() became static.

      VFS: fix recent breakage of FS_REVAL_DOT · 176306f5
      Neil Brown authored 
      Commit 1f36f774 broke FS_REVAL_DOT semantics.

In particular, before this patch, the command
   ls -l
in an NFS mounted directory would always check if the directory on the server
had changed and if so would flush and refill the pagecache for the dir.
After this patch, the same "ls -l" will repeatedly return stale date until
the cached attributes for the directory time out.

The following patch fixes this by ensuring the d_revalidate is called by
do_last when "." is being looked-up.
link_path_walk has already called d_revalidate, but in that case LOOKUP_OPEN
is not set so nfs_lookup_verify_inode chooses not to do any validation.

The following patch restores the original behaviour.
