[ Upstream commit 74f6f5912693ce454384eaeec48705646a21c74f ]

As following backtrace, the struct file_lock request , in posix_lock_inode
is free before ftrace function using.
Replace the ftrace function ahead free flow could fix the use-after-free
issue.

A user should be allowed to take out a lease via an idmapped mount if
the fsuid matches the mapped uid of the inode. generic_setlease() is
checking the unmapped inode uid, causing these operations to be denied.

Fix this by comparing against the mapped inode uid instead of the
unmapped uid.

<id>8cc01d43f882fa1f44d8aa6727a6ea783d8fbe3f</id>
<content type='text'>
Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Documentation updates

 - Miscellaneous fixes, perhaps most notably:

      - Throttling callback invocation based on the number of callbacks
        that are now ready to invoke instead of on the total number of
        callbacks

      - Several patches that suppress false-positive boot-time
        diagnostics, for example, due to lockdep not yet being
        initialized

      - Make expedited RCU CPU stall warnings dump stacks of any tasks
        that are blocking the stalled grace period. (Normal RCU CPU
        stall warnings have done this for many years)

      - Lazy-callback fixes to avoid delays during boot, suspend, and
        resume. (Note that lazy callbacks must be explicitly enabled, so
        this should not (yet) affect production use cases)

 - Make kfree_rcu() and friends take advantage of polled grace periods,
   thus reducing memory footprint by almost two orders of magnitude,
   admittedly on a microbenchmark

   This also begins the transition from kfree_rcu(p) to
   kfree_rcu_mightsleep(p). This transition was motivated by bugs where
   kfree_rcu(p), which can block, was typed instead of the intended
   kfree_rcu(p, rh)

 - SRCU updates, perhaps most notably fixing a bug that causes SRCU to
   fail when booted on a system with a non-zero boot CPU. This
   surprising situation actually happens for kdump kernels on the
   powerpc architecture

   This also adds an srcu_down_read() and srcu_up_read(), which act like
   srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock(), but allow an SRCU read-side
   critical section to be handed off from one task to another

 - Clean up the now-useless SRCU Kconfig option

   There are a few more commits that are not yet acked or pulled into
   maintainer trees, and these will be in a pull request for a later
   merge window

 - RCU-tasks updates, perhaps most notably these fixes:

      - A strange interaction between PID-namespace unshare and the
        RCU-tasks grace period that results in a low-probability but
        very real hang

      - A race between an RCU tasks rude grace period on a single-CPU
        system and CPU-hotplug addition of the second CPU that can
        result in a too-short grace period

      - A race between shrinking RCU tasks down to a single callback
        list and queuing a new callback to some other CPU, but where
        that queuing is delayed for more than an RCU grace period. This
        can result in that callback being stranded on the non-boot CPU

 - Torture-test updates and fixes

 - Torture-test scripting updates and fixes

 - Provide additional RCU CPU stall-warning information in kernels built
   with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME=y, and restore the full five-minute
   timeout limit for expedited RCU CPU stall warnings

Now that the SRCU Kconfig option is unconditionally selected, there is
no longer any point in conditional compilation based on CONFIG_SRCU.
Therefore, remove the #ifdef and throw away the #else clause.

<title>filelock: move file locking definitions to separate header file</title>

The file locking definitions have lived in fs.h since the dawn of time,
but they are only used by a small subset of the source files that
include it.

Move the file locking definitions to a new header file, and add the
appropriate #include directives to the source files that need them. By
doing this we trim down fs.h a bit and limit the amount of rebuilding
that has to be done when we make changes to the file locking APIs.

Move the file locking definitions to a new header file, and add the
appropriate #include directives to the source files that need them. By
doing this we trim down fs.h a bit and limit the amount of rebuilding
that has to be done when we make changes to the file locking APIs.

It's fairly useless to complain about using an obsolete feature without
telling the user which process used it. My Fedora desktop randomly drops
this message, but I would really need this patch to figure out what
triggers is.

<title>filelock: add a new locks_inode_context accessor function</title>

There are a number of places in the kernel that are accessing the
inode-&gt;i_flctx field without smp_load_acquire. This is required to
ensure that the caller doesn't see a partially-initialized structure.

Add a new accessor function for it to make this clear and convert all of
the relevant accesses in locks.c to use it. Also, convert
locks_free_lock_context to use the helper as well instead of just doing
a "bare" assignment.

Ceph has a need to know whether a particular inode has any locks set on
it. It's currently tracking that by a num_locks field in its
filp-&gt;private_data, but that's problematic as it tries to decrement this
field when releasing locks and that can race with the file being torn
down.

Add a new vfs_inode_has_locks helper that just returns whether any locks
are currently held on the inode.
