      cifs: stop trying to use virtual circuits · 9ae6cf60
      Jeff Layton authored
      Currently, we try to ensure that we use vcnum of 0 on the first
      established session on a connection and then try to use a different
      vcnum on each session after that.
      
      This is a little odd, since there's no real reason to use a different
      vcnum for each SMB session. I can only assume there was some confusion
      between SMB sessions and VCs. That's somewhat understandable since they
      both get created during SESSION_SETUP, but the documentation indicates
      that they are really orthogonal. The comment on max_vcs in particular
      looks quite misguided. An SMB session is already uniquely identified
      by the SMB UID value -- there's no need to again uniquely ID with a
      VC.
      
      Furthermore, a vcnum of 0 is a cue to the server that it should release
      any resources that were previously held by the client. This sounds like
      a good thing, until you consider that:
      
      a) it totally ignores the fact that other programs on the box (e.g.
      smbclient) might have connections established to the server. Using a
      vcnum of 0 causes them to get kicked off.
      
      b) it causes problems with NAT. If several clients are connected to the
      same server via the same NAT'ed address, whenever one connects to the
      server it kicks off all the others, which then reconnect and kick off
      the first one...ad nauseum.
      
      I don't see any reason to ignore the advice in "Implementing CIFS" which
      has a comprehensive treatment of virtual circuits. In there, it states
      "...and contrary to the specs the client should always use a VcNumber of
      one, never zero."
      
      Have the client just use a hardcoded vcnum of 1, and stop abusing the
      special behavior of vcnum 0.

      CIFS: FS-Cache: Uncache unread pages in cifs_readpages() before freeing them · 54afa990
      David Howells authored
      In cifs_readpages(), we may decide we don't want to read a page after all -
      but the page may already have passed through fscache_read_or_alloc_pages() and
      thus have marks and reservations set.  Thus we have to call
      fscache_readpages_cancel() or fscache_uncache_page() on the pages we're
      returning to clear the marks.
      
      NFS, AFS and 9P should be unaffected by this as they call read_cache_pages()
      which does the cleanup for you.

      tty: disassociate_ctty() sends the extra SIGCONT · 03e12617
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      Starting from v3.10 (probably commit f91e2590: "tty: Signal
      foreground group processes in hangup") disassociate_ctty() sends SIGCONT
      if tty && on_exit.  This breaks LSB test-suite, in particular test8 in
      _exit.c and test40 in sigcon5.c.
      
      Put the "!on_exit" check back to restore the old behaviour.
      
      Review by Peter Hurley:
       "Yes, this regression was introduced by me in that commit.  The effect
        of the regression is that ptys will receive a SIGCONT when, in similar
        circumstances, ttys would not.
      
        The fact that two test vectors accidentally tripped over this
        regression suggests that some other apps may as well.
      
        Thanks for catching this"

      partitions/efi: loosen check fot pmbr size in lba · 6b02fa59
      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      Matt found that commit 27a7c642 ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr
      size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot.  The
      reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of
      the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA.  While most disk
      partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics,
      Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit
      limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1].
      
      Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk
      or 0xFFFFFFFF.  No tool in its right mind would set it to any value
      other than these.
