<id>154d83a8384eb5b8747008fcad8696a3a2845abf</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 05e6ea2685c964db1e675a24a4f4e2adc22d2388 upstream.

The struct file_operations instance serving the f2fs/status debugfs file
lacks an initialization of its -&gt;owner.

This means that although that file might have been opened, the f2fs module
can still get removed. Any further operation on that opened file, releasing
included,  will cause accesses to unmapped memory.

Indeed, Mike Marshall reported the following:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa0307430
  IP: [&lt;ffffffff8132a224&gt;] full_proxy_release+0x24/0x90
  &lt;...&gt;
  Call Trace:
   [] __fput+0xdf/0x1d0
   [] ____fput+0xe/0x10
   [] task_work_run+0x8e/0xc0
   [] do_exit+0x2ae/0xae0

  &lt;...&gt;
  ---[ end trace f22ae883fa3ea6b8 ]---
  Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!

Fix this by initializing the f2fs/status file_operations' -&gt;owner with
THIS_MODULE.

This will allow debugfs to grab a reference to the f2fs module upon any
open on that file, thus preventing it from getting removed.

<title>mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros</title>

<id>09cbfeaf1a5a67bfb3201e0c83c810cecb2efa5a</id>
<content type='text'>
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

 "This series adds two ioctls to control cached data and fragmented
  files.  Most of the rest fixes missing error cases and bugs that we

   - support an ioctl to execute online file defragmentation
   - support an ioctl to flush cached data
   - speed up shrinking of extent_cache entries
   - handle broken superblock
   - refector dirty inode management infra
   - revisit f2fs_map_blocks to handle more cases

  Major bug fixes:
   - fix data race condition on cached nat entries
   - fix error cases of volatile and atomic writes"
