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.

 - Adjust filenames, context

This reverts commit be9df699432235753c3824b0f5a27d46de7fdc9e, which was
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.

iter_file_splice_write() - a -&gt;splice_write() instance that gathers the
pipe buffers, builds a bio_vec-based iov_iter covering those and feeds
it to -&gt;write_iter().  A bunch of simple cases coverted to that...

<title>ore: Support for raid 6</title>

<id>ce5d36aac26cc395fe3bc45525cdbad3644f01e5</id>
<content type='text'>
This simple patch adds support for raid6 to the ORE.
Most operations and calculations where already for the general
case. Only things left:
* call async_gen_syndrome() in the case of raid6
  (NOTE that the raid6 math is the one supported by the Linux Kernel
   see: crypto/async_tx/async_pq.c)
* call _ore_add_parity_unit() twice with only last call generating
  the redundancy pages.

* Fix couple BUGS in old code
  a. In reads when parity==2 it can happen that per_dev-&gt;length=0
     but per_dev-&gt;offset was set and adjusted by _ore_add_sg_seg().
     Don't let it be overwritten.
  b. The all 'cur_comp &gt; starting_dev' thing to determine if:
       "per_dev-&gt;offset is in the current stripe number or the
       next one."
     Was a complete raid5/4 accident. When parity==2 this is not
     at all true usually. All we need to do is increment si-&gt;ob_offset
     once we pass by the first parity device.
     (This also greatly simplifies the code, amen)
  c. Calculation of si-&gt;dev rotation can overflow when parity==2.

* Then last enable raid6 in ore_verify_layout()

I want to deeply thank Daniel Gryniewicz who found first all the
bugs in the old raid code, and inspired these patches:

<id>455682ce547817d75e38028283dc8db00754005d</id>
<content type='text'>
Two cleanups:
* si-&gt;cur_comp, si-&gt;cur_pg where always calculated after
  the call to ore_calc_stripe_info() with the help of
  _dev_order(...). But these are already calculated by
  ore_calc_stripe_info() and can be just set there.
  (This is left over from the time that si-&gt;cur_comp, si-&gt;cur_pg
   were only used by raid code, but now the main loop manages
   them anyway even though they are ultimately not used in
   none raid code)

* si-&gt;cur_comp - For the very last stripe case, was set inside
  _ore_add_parity_unit(). This is not clear and will be wrong
  for coming raid6 so move this to only caller. Now si-&gt;cur_comp
  is only manipulated within _prepare_for_striping(), always next
  to the manipulation of cur_dev.
  Which is much easier to understand and follow.
