commit 762c69685ff7ad5ad7fee0656671e20a0c9c864d upstream.

We need to get the underlying dentry of parent; sure, absent the races
it is the parent of underlying dentry, but there's nothing to prevent
losing a timeslice to preemtion in the middle of evaluation of
lower_dentry-&gt;d_parent-&gt;d_inode, having another process move lower_dentry
around and have its (ex)parent not pinned anymore and freed on memory
pressure.  Then we regain CPU and try to fetch -&gt;d_inode from memory
that is freed by that point.

dentry-&gt;d_parent *is* stable here - it's an argument of -&gt;lookup() and
we are guaranteed that it won't be moved anywhere until we feed it
to d_add/d_splice_alias.  So we safely go that way to get to its
underlying dentry.

commit e72b9dd6a5f17d0fb51f16f8685f3004361e83d0 upstream.

lower_dentry can't go from positive to negative (we have it pinned),
but it *can* go from negative to positive.  So fetching -&gt;d_inode
into a local variable, doing a blocking allocation, checking that
now -&gt;d_inode is non-NULL and feeding the value we'd fetched
earlier to a function that won't accept NULL is not a good idea.

commit 1e2e547a93a00ebc21582c06ca3c6cfea2a309ee upstream.

For anything NFS-exported we do _not_ want to unlock new inode
before it has grown an alias; original set of fixes got the
ordering right, but missed the nasty complication in case of
lockdep being enabled - unlock_new_inode() does
	lockdep_annotate_inode_mutex_key(inode)
which can only be done before anyone gets a chance to touch
-&gt;i_mutex.  Unfortunately, flipping the order and doing
unlock_new_inode() before d_instantiate() opens a window when
mkdir can race with open-by-fhandle on a guessed fhandle, leading
to multiple aliases for a directory inode and all the breakage
that follows from that.

	Correct solution: a new primitive (d_instantiate_new())
combining these two in the right order - lockdep annotate, then
d_instantiate(), then the rest of unlock_new_inode().  All
combinations of d_instantiate() with unlock_new_inode() should
be converted to that.

commit 31051c85b5e2aaaf6315f74c72a732673632a905 upstream.

inode_change_ok() will be resposible for clearing capabilities and IMA
extended attributes and as such will need dentry. Give it as an argument
to inode_change_ok() instead of an inode. Also rename inode_change_ok()
to setattr_prepare() to better relect that it does also some
modifications in addition to checks.

commit 31051c85b5e2aaaf6315f74c72a732673632a905 upstream.  The backport
breaks fuse and makes a mess of xfs, which can be improved by picking
further upstream commits as I should have done in the first place.

If we create a file when we mount with ecryptfs_xattr_metadata option, we will
encounter a crash in this path:
-&gt;ecryptfs_create
  -&gt;ecryptfs_initialize_file
    -&gt;ecryptfs_write_metadata
      -&gt;ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_xattr
        -&gt;ecryptfs_setxattr
          -&gt;fsstack_copy_attr_all
It's because our dentry-&gt;d_inode used in fsstack_copy_attr_all is NULL, and it
will be initialized when ecryptfs_initialize_file finish.

So we should skip copying attr from lower inode when the value of -&gt;d_inode is
invalid.

If we create a file when we mount with ecryptfs_xattr_metadata option, we will
encounter a crash in this path:
-&gt;ecryptfs_create
  -&gt;ecryptfs_initialize_file
    -&gt;ecryptfs_write_metadata
      -&gt;ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_xattr
        -&gt;ecryptfs_setxattr
          -&gt;fsstack_copy_attr_all
It's because our dentry-&gt;d_inode used in fsstack_copy_attr_all is NULL, and it
will be initialized when ecryptfs_initialize_file finish.

So we should skip copying attr from lower inode when the value of -&gt;d_inode is
invalid.

Add new renameat2 syscall, which is the same as renameat with an added
flags argument.

Pass flags to vfs_rename() and to i_op-&gt;rename() as well.

<title>ecryptfs: fix failure handling in -&gt;readlink()</title>

If ecryptfs_readlink_lower() fails, buf remains an uninitialized
pointer and passing it nd_set_link() won't do anything good.

Fixed by switching ecryptfs_readlink_lower() to saner API - make it
return buf or ERR_PTR(...) and update callers.
