Removing unnecessary static buffers is good.
Use the vsprintf %pV extension instead.

<title>fixing infinite OPEN loop in 4.0 stateid recovery</title>

commit e8d975e73e5fa05f983fbf2723120edcf68e0b38 upstream.

Problem: When an operation like WRITE receives a BAD_STATEID, even though
recovery code clears the RECLAIM_NOGRACE recovery flag before recovering
the open state, because of clearing delegation state for the associated
inode, nfs_inode_find_state_and_recover() gets called and it makes the
same state with RECLAIM_NOGRACE flag again. As a results, when we restart
looking over the open states, we end up in the infinite loop instead of
breaking out in the next test of state flags.

Solution: unset the RECLAIM_NOGRACE set because of
calling of nfs_inode_find_state_and_recover() after returning from calling
recover_open() function.

commit d683cc49daf7c5afca8cd9654aaa1bf63cdf2ad9 upstream.

When encoding the NFSACL SETACL operation, reserve just the estimated
size of the ACL rather than a fixed maximum. This eliminates needless
zero padding on the wire that the server ignores.

<title>Btrfs: use kmem_cache_free when freeing entry in inode cache</title>

commit c3f4a1685bb87e59c886ee68f7967eae07d4dffa upstream.

The free space entries are allocated using kmem_cache_zalloc(),
through __btrfs_add_free_space(), therefore we should use
kmem_cache_free() and not kfree() to avoid any confusion and
any potential problem. Looking at the kfree() definition at
mm/slab.c it has the following comment:

  /*
   * (...)
   *
   * Don't free memory not originally allocated by kmalloc()
   * or you will run into trouble.
   */

So better be safe and use kmem_cache_free().

<title>xfs: fix remote symlinks on V5/CRC filesystems</title>

commit 2ac56d3d4bd625450a54d4c3f9292d58f6b88232 upstream.

If we create a CRC filesystem, mount it, and create a symlink with
a path long enough that it can't live in the inode, we get a very
strange result upon remount:

# ls -l mnt
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 929 Jun 15 16:58 link -&gt; XSLM

XSLM is the V5 symlink block header magic (which happens to be
followed by a NUL, so the string looks terminated).

xfs_readlink_bmap() advanced cur_chunk by the size of the header
for CRC filesystems, but never actually used that pointer; it
kept reading from bp-&gt;b_addr, which is the start of the block,
rather than the start of the symlink data after the header.

Looks like this problem goes back to v3.10.

Fixing this gets us reading the proper link target, again.

<title>jbd2: fix ocfs2 corrupt when updating journal superblock fails</title>

commit 6f6a6fda294506dfe0e3e0a253bb2d2923f28f0a upstream.

If updating journal superblock fails after journal data has been
flushed, the error is omitted and this will mislead the caller as a
normal case.  In ocfs2, the checkpoint will be treated successfully
and the other node can get the lock to update. Since the sb_start is
still pointing to the old log block, it will rewrite the journal data
during journal recovery by the other node. Thus the new updates will
be overwritten and ocfs2 corrupts.  So in above case we have to return
the error, and ocfs2_commit_cache will take care of the error and
prevent the other node to do update first.  And only after recovering
journal it can do the new updates.

commit b4f1afcd068f6e533230dfed00782cd8a907f96b upstream.

jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() can be invoked by jbd2__journal_start()
So allocations should be done with GFP_NOFS

<title>ext4: replace open coded nofail allocation in ext4_free_blocks()</title>

commit 7444a072c387a93ebee7066e8aee776954ab0e41 upstream.

ext4_free_blocks is looping around the allocation request and mimics
__GFP_NOFAIL behavior without any allocation fallback strategy. Let's
remove the open coded loop and replace it with __GFP_NOFAIL. Without the
flag the allocator has no way to find out never-fail requirement and
cannot help in any way.
