Pull nfsd changes from J Bruce Fields: "Miscellaneous bugfixes, plus: - An overhaul of the DRC cache by Jeff Layton. The main effect is just to make it larger. This decreases the chances of intermittent errors especially in the UDP case. But we'll need to watch for any reports of performance regressions. - Containerized nfsd: with some limitations, we now support per-container nfs-service, thanks to extensive work from Stanislav Kinsbursky over the last year." Some notes about conflicts, since there were *two* non-data semantic conflicts here: - idr_remove_all() had been added by a memory leak fix, but has since become deprecated since idr_destroy() does it for us now. - xs_local_connect() had been added by this branch to make AF_LOCAL connections be synchronous, but in the meantime Trond had changed the calling convention in order to avoid a RCU dereference. There were a couple of more obvious actual source-level conflicts due to the hlist traversal changes and one just due to code changes next to each other, but those were trivial. * 'for-3.9' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux: (49 commits) SUNRPC: make AF_LOCAL connect synchronous nfsd: fix compiler warning about ambiguous types in nfsd_cache_csum svcrpc: fix rpc server shutdown races svcrpc: make svc_age_temp_xprts enqueue under sv_lock lockd: nlmclnt_reclaim(): avoid stack overflow nfsd: enable NFSv4 state in containers nfsd: disable usermode helper client tracker in container nfsd: use proper net while reading "exports" file nfsd: containerize NFSd filesystem nfsd: fix comments on nfsd_cache_lookup SUNRPC: move cache_detail->cache_request callback call to cache_read() SUNRPC: remove "cache_request" argument in sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall() function SUNRPC: rework cache upcall logic SUNRPC: introduce cache_detail->cache_request callback NFS: simplify and clean cache library NFS: use SUNRPC cache creation and destruction helper for DNS cache nfsd4: free_stid can be static nfsd: keep a checksum of the first 256 bytes of request sunrpc: trim off trailing checksum before returning decrypted or integrity authenticated buffer sunrpc: fix comment in struct xdr_buf definition ... -

Pull Ceph updates from Sage Weil: "A few groups of patches here. Alex has been hard at work improving the RBD code, layout groundwork for understanding the new formats and doing layering. Most of the infrastructure is now in place for the final bits that will come with the next window. There are a few changes to the data layout. Jim Schutt's patch fixes some non-ideal CRUSH behavior, and a set of patches from me updates the client to speak a newer version of the protocol and implement an improved hashing strategy across storage nodes (when the server side supports it too). A pair of patches from Sam Lang fix the atomicity of open+create operations. Several patches from Yan, Zheng fix various mds/client issues that turned up during multi-mds torture tests. A final set of patches expose file layouts via virtual xattrs, and allow the policies to be set on directories via xattrs as well (avoiding the awkward ioctl interface and providing a consistent interface for both kernel mount and ceph-fuse users)." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sage/ceph-client: (143 commits) libceph: add support for HASHPSPOOL pool flag libceph: update osd request/reply encoding libceph: calculate placement based on the internal data types ceph: update support for PGID64, PGPOOL3, OSDENC protocol features ceph: update "ceph_features.h" libceph: decode into cpu-native ceph_pg type libceph: rename ceph_pg -> ceph_pg_v1 rbd: pass length, not op for osd completions rbd: move rbd_osd_trivial_callback() libceph: use a do..while loop in con_work() libceph: use a flag to indicate a fault has occurred libceph: separate non-locked fault handling libceph: encapsulate connection backoff libceph: eliminate sparse warnings ceph: eliminate sparse warnings in fs code rbd: eliminate sparse warnings libceph: define connection flag helpers rbd: normalize dout() calls rbd: barriers are hard rbd: ignore zero-length requests ...

It doesn't appear that anyone actually needs to connect asynchronously. Also, using a workqueue for the connect means we lose the namespace information from the original process. This is a problem since there's no way to explicitly pass in a filesystem namespace for resolution of an AF_LOCAL address. Acked-by:

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by:Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by:

Since kcmp syscall has been implemented (initially on x86 architecture) a number of other archs wire it up as well: xtensa, sparc, sh, s390, mips, microblaze, m68k (not taking into account those who uses <asm-generic/unistd.h> for syscall numbers definitions). But the Makefile, which turns kcmp.o generation on still depends on former config-x86. Thus get rid of this limitation and make kcmp.o depend on CHECKPOINT_RESTORE option. Signed-off-by:

Documentation/blockdev/nbd.txt contained some documentation which was horribly outdated and probably still dates from the original patch that added NBD support to the kernel. This patch removes the useless and outdated bits. The tools on nbd.sf.net are fully documented in manpages, which is where documentation for the non-kernel bits should live. Additionally, add a reference to the MAINTAINERS file for the nbd-general mailinglist that is used for discussion of the userland tools and the kernel module already. Signed-off-by:

There are two problems with shutdown in the NBD driver. 1: Receiving the NBD_DISCONNECT ioctl does not sync the filesystem. This patch adds the sync operation into __nbd_ioctl()'s NBD_DISCONNECT handler. This is useful because BLKFLSBUF is restricted to processes that have CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and the NBD client may not possess it (fsync of the block device does not sync the filesystem, either). 2: Once we clear the socket we have no guarantee that later reads will come from the same backing storage. The patch adds calls to kill_bdev() in __nbd_ioctl()'s socket clearing code so the page cache is cleaned, lest reads that hit on the page cache will return stale data from the previously-accessible disk. Example: # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sr0 # file -s /dev/nbd0 /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc. # qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0 # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sda # file -s /dev/nbd0 /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc. While /dev/sda has: # file -s /dev/sda /dev/sda: x86 boot sector; etc. Signed-off-by:Paul Clements <Paul.Clements@steeleye.com> Cc: Alex Bligh <alex@alex.org.uk> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by:

Currently, the NBD device does not accept flush requests from the Linux block layer. If the NBD server opened the target with neither O_SYNC nor O_DSYNC, however, the device will be effectively backed by a writeback cache. Without issuing flushes properly, operation of the NBD device will not be safe against power losses. The NBD protocol has support for both a cache flush command and a FUA command flag; the server will also pass a flag to note its support for these features. This patch adds support for the cache flush command and flag. In the kernel, we receive the flags via the NBD_SET_FLAGS ioctl, and map NBD_FLAG_SEND_FLUSH to the argument of blk_queue_flush. When the flag is active the block layer will send REQ_FLUSH requests, which we translate to NBD_CMD_FLUSH commands. FUA support is not included in this patch because all free software servers implement it with a full fdatasync; thus it has no advantage over supporting flush only. Because I [Paolo] cannot really benchmark it in a realistic scenario, I cannot tell if it is a good idea or not. It is also not clear if it is valid for an NBD server to support FUA but not flush. The Linux block layer gives a warning for this combination, the NBD protocol documentation says nothing about it. The patch also fixes a small problem in the handling of flags: nbd->flags must be cleared at the end of NBD_DO_IT, but the driver was not doing that. The bug manifests itself as follows. Suppose you two different client/server pairs to start the NBD device. Suppose also that the first client supports NBD_SET_FLAGS, and the first server sends NBD_FLAG_SEND_FLUSH; the second pair instead does neither of these two things. Before this patch, the second invocation of NBD_DO_IT will use a stale value of nbd->flags, and the second server will issue an error every time it receives an NBD_CMD_FLUSH command. This bug is pre-existing, but it becomes much more important after this patch; flush failures make the device pretty much unusable, unlike Signed-off-by:

Currently, sizeof(struct parsed_partitions) may be 64KB in 32bit arch, so it is easy to trigger page allocation failure by check_partition, especially in hotplug block device situation(such as, USB mass storage, MMC card, ...), and Felipe Balbi has observed the failure. This patch does below optimizations on the allocation of struct parsed_partitions to try to address the issue: - make parsed_partitions.parts as pointer so that the pointed memory can fit in 32KB buffer, then approximate 32KB memory can be saved - vmalloc the buffer pointed by parsed_partitions.parts because 32KB is still a bit big for kmalloc - given that many devices have the partition count limit, so only allocate disk_max_parts() partitions instead of 256 partitions always Signed-off-by:

It isn't necessary to read the information of partitions whose number is equal and more than state->limit since only maximum state->limit partitions will be added inside rescan_partitions(). That is also what other kind of partitions are doing. Signed-off-by:
