 "Here is a list of patches we've accumulated for GFS2 for the current
  upstream merge window.  This time we've only got six patches, many of
  which are very small:

   - three cleanups from Andreas Gruenbacher, including a nice cleanup
     of the sequence file code for the sbstats debugfs file.

   - a patch from Ben Hutchings that changes statistics variables from
     signed to unsigned.

   - two patches from me that increase GFS2's glock scalability by
     switching from a conventional hash table to rhashtable"

* tag 'gfs2-merge-window' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2:

<title>fs: create and use seq_show_option for escaping</title>

<content type='text'>
Many file systems that implement the show_options hook fail to correctly
escape their output which could lead to unescaped characters (e.g.  new
lines) leaking into /proc/mounts and /proc/[pid]/mountinfo files.  This
could lead to confusion, spoofed entries (resulting in things like
systemd issuing false d-bus "mount" notifications), and who knows what
else.  This looks like it would only be the root user stepping on
themselves, but it's possible weird things could happen in containers or
in other situations with delegated mount privileges.

Here's an example using overlay with setuid fusermount trusting the
contents of /proc/mounts (via the /etc/mtab symlink).  Imagine the use
of "sudo" is something more sneaky:

  $ BASE="ovl"
  $ MNT="$BASE/mnt"
  $ LOW="$BASE/lower"
  $ UP="$BASE/upper"
  $ WORK="$BASE/work/ 0 0
  none /proc fuse.pwn user_id=1000"
  $ mkdir -p "$LOW" "$UP" "$WORK"
  $ sudo mount -t overlay -o "lowerdir=$LOW,upperdir=$UP,workdir=$WORK" none /mnt
  $ cat /proc/mounts
  none /root/ovl/mnt overlay rw,relatime,lowerdir=ovl/lower,upperdir=ovl/upper,workdir=ovl/work/ 0 0
  none /proc fuse.pwn user_id=1000 0 0
  $ fusermount -u /proc
  $ cat /proc/mounts
  cat: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory

This fixes the problem by adding new seq_show_option and
seq_show_option_n helpers, and updating the vulnerable show_option
handlers to use them as needed.  Some, like SELinux, need to be open
coded due to unusual existing escape mechanisms.

None of these statistics can meaningfully be negative, and the
numerator for do_div() must have the type u64.  The generic
implementation of do_div() used on some 32-bit architectures asserts
that, resulting in a compiler error in gfs2_rgrp_congested().

What uniquely identifies a glock in the glock hash table is not
gl_name, but gl_name and its superblock pointer. This patch makes
the gl_name field correspond to a unique glock identifier. That will
allow us to simplify hashing with a future patch, since the hash
algorithm can then take the gl_name and hash its components in one
operation.

<title>block: add a bi_error field to struct bio</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:

 (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
 (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback

The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.

So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.
