[ Upstream commit 1ee9f4bd1a97026a7b2d7ae9f1f74b45680d0003 ]

This issue is caused by commit 02323db17e3a7 ("cifs: fix
cifs_uniqueid_to_ino_t not to ever return 0"), when BITS_PER_LONG
is 64 on s390x, the corresponding cifs_uniqueid_to_ino_t()
function will cast 64-bit fileid to 32-bit by using (ino_t)fileid,
because ino_t (typdefed __kernel_ino_t) is int type.

It's defined in arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/posix_types.h

    #ifndef __s390x__

    typedef unsigned long   __kernel_ino_t;
    ...
    #else /* __s390x__ */

    typedef unsigned int    __kernel_ino_t;

So the #ifdef condition is wrong for s390x, we can just still use
one cifs_uniqueid_to_ino_t() function with comparing sizeof(ino_t)
and sizeof(u64) to choose the correct execution accordingly.

[ Upstream commit 6cc3b24235929b54acd5ecc987ef11a425bd209e ]

For interim responses we only need to parse a header and update
a number credits. Now it is done for all SMB2+ command except
SMB2_READ which is wrong. Fix this by adding such processing.

<title>cifs: fix out-of-bounds access in lease parsing</title>

[ Upstream commit deb7deff2f00bdbbcb3d560dad2a89ef37df837d ]

When opening a file, SMB2_open() attempts to parse the lease state from the
SMB2 CREATE Response.  However, the parsing code was not careful to ensure
that the create contexts are not empty or invalid, which can lead to out-
of-bounds memory access.  This can be seen easily by trying
to read a file from a OSX 10.11 SMB3 server.  Here is sample crash output:

[ Upstream commit b6853f78e763d42c7a158d8de3549c9827c604ab ]

The delete opration can allocate additional space on the HPFS filesystem
due to btree split. The HPFS driver checks in advance if there is
available space, so that it won't corrupt the btree if we run out of space
during splitting.

If there is not enough available space, the HPFS driver attempted to
truncate the file, but this results in a deadlock since the commit
7dd29d8d865efdb00c0542a5d2c87af8c52ea6c7 ("HPFS: Introduce a global mutex
and lock it on every callback from VFS").

This patch removes the code that tries to truncate the file and -ENOSPC is
returned instead. If the user hits -ENOSPC on delete, he should try to
delete other files (that are stored in a leaf btree node), so that the
delete operation will make some space for deleting the file stored in
non-leaf btree node.

[ Upstream commit be629c62a603e5935f8177fd8a19e014100a259e ]

When a directory is deleted, we don't take too much care about killing off
all the dirents that belong to it — on the basis that on remount, the scan
will conclude that the directory is dead anyway.

This doesn't work though, when the deleted directory contained a child
directory which was moved *out*. In the early stages of the fs build
we can then end up with an apparent hard link, with the child directory
appearing both in its true location, and as a child of the original
directory which are this stage of the mount process we don't *yet* know
is defunct.

To resolve this, take out the early special-casing of the "directories
shall not have hard links" rule in jffs2_build_inode_pass1(), and let the
normal nlink processing happen for directories as well as other inodes.

Then later in the build process we can set ic-&gt;pino_nlink to the parent
inode#, as is required for directories during normal operaton, instead
of the nlink. And complain only *then* about hard links which are still
in evidence even after killing off all the unreachable paths.

[ Upstream commit 49e91e7079febe59a20ca885a87dd1c54240d0f1 ]

With this fix, all code paths should now be obtaining the page lock before
f-&gt;sem.

[ Upstream commit 157078f64b8a9cd7011b6b900b2f2498df850748 ]

This reverts commit 5ffd3412ae55
("jffs2: Fix lock acquisition order bug in jffs2_write_begin").

The commit modified jffs2_write_begin() to remove a deadlock with
jffs2_garbage_collect_live(), but this introduced new deadlocks found
by multiple users. page_lock() actually has to be called before
mutex_lock(&amp;c-&gt;alloc_sem) or mutex_lock(&amp;f-&gt;sem) because
jffs2_write_end() and jffs2_readpage() are called with the page locked,
and they acquire c-&gt;alloc_sem and f-&gt;sem, resp.

In other words, the lock order in jffs2_write_begin() was correct, and
it is the jffs2_garbage_collect_live() path that has to be changed.

Revert the commit to get rid of the new deadlocks, and to clear the way
for a better fix of the original deadlock.

In the case where d_add_unique() finds an appropriate alias to use it will
have already incremented the reference count.  An additional dget() to swap
the open context's dentry is unnecessary and will leak a reference.

<title>fs-writeback: unplug before cond_resched in writeback_sb_inodes</title>

[ Upstream commit 590dca3a71875461e8fea3013af74386945191b2 ]

Commit 505a666ee3fc ("writeback: plug writeback in wb_writeback() and
writeback_inodes_wb()") has us holding a plug during writeback_sb_inodes,
which increases the merge rate when relatively contiguous small files
are written by the filesystem.  It helps both on flash and spindles.

For an fs_mark workload creating 4K files in parallel across 8 drives,
this commit improves performance ~9% more by unplugging before calling
cond_resched().  cond_resched() doesn't trigger an implicit unplug, so
explicitly getting the IO down to the device before scheduling reduces
latencies for anyone waiting on clean pages.

It also cuts down on how often we use kblockd to unplug, which means
less work bouncing from one workqueue to another.

Many more details about how we got here:
