[ Upstream commit f367a62a7cad2447d835a9f14fc63997a9137246 ]

With inotify, when a watch is set on a directory and on its child, an
event on the child is reported twice, once with wd of the parent watch
and once with wd of the child watch without the filename.

With fanotify, when a watch is set on a directory and on its child, an
event on the child is reported twice, but it has the exact same
information - either an open file descriptor of the child or an encoded
fid of the child.

The reason that the two identical events are not merged is because the
object id used for merging events in the queue is the child inode in one
event and parent inode in the other.

For events with path or dentry data, use the victim inode instead of the
watched inode as the object id for event merging, so that the event
reported on parent will be merged with the event reported on the child.

[ Upstream commit dfc2d2594e4a79204a3967585245f00644b8f838 ]

The event inode field is used only for comparison in queue merges and
cannot be dereferenced after handle_event(), because it does not hold a
refcount on the inode.

Replace it with an abstract id to do the same thing.

<title>coredump: fix crash when umh is disabled</title>

commit 3740d93e37902b31159a82da2d5c8812ed825404 upstream.

Commit 64e90a8acb859 ("Introduce STATIC_USERMODEHELPER to mediate
call_usermodehelper()") added the optiont to disable all
call_usermodehelper() calls by setting STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH to
an empty string. When this is done, and crashdump is triggered, it
will crash on null pointer dereference, since we make assumptions
over what call_usermodehelper_exec() did.

This has been reported by Sergey when one triggers a a coredump
with the following configuration:

```
CONFIG_STATIC_USERMODEHELPER=y
CONFIG_STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH=""
kernel.core_pattern = |/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %P %u %g %s %t %c %h %e
```

The way disabling the umh was designed was that call_usermodehelper_exec()
would just return early, without an error. But coredump assumes
certain variables are set up for us when this happens, and calls
ile_start_write(cprm.file) with a NULL file.

commit 12ae44a40a1be891bdc6463f8c7072b4ede746ef upstream.

A misconfigured cephx can easily result in having the kernel client
flooding the logs with:

  ceph: Can't lookup inode 1 (err: -13)

Change this message to debug level.

commit 12ae44a40a1be891bdc6463f8c7072b4ede746ef upstream.

A misconfigured cephx can easily result in having the kernel client
flooding the logs with:

  ceph: Can't lookup inode 1 (err: -13)

Change this message to debug level.

commit 0fa8263367db9287aa0632f96c1a5f93cc478150 upstream.

Eduard reported a problem mounting cephfs on s390 arch. The feature
mask sent by the MDS is little-endian, so we need to convert it
before storing and testing against it.

<title>eventpoll: fix missing wakeup for ovflist in ep_poll_callback</title>

commit 0c54a6a44bf3d41e76ce3f583a6ece267618df2e upstream.

In the event that we add to ovflist, before commit 339ddb53d373
("fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll") we would be
woken up by ep_scan_ready_list, and did no wakeup in ep_poll_callback.

With that wakeup removed, if we add to ovflist here, we may never wake
up.  Rather than adding back the ep_scan_ready_list wakeup - which was
resulting in unnecessary wakeups, trigger a wake-up in ep_poll_callback.

We noticed that one of our workloads was missing wakeups starting with
339ddb53d373 and upon manual inspection, this wakeup seemed missing to me.
With this patch added, we no longer see missing wakeups.  I haven't yet
tried to make a small reproducer, but the existing kselftests in
filesystem/epoll passed for me with this patch.

<title>epoll: atomically remove wait entry on wake up</title>

commit 412895f03cbf9633298111cb4dfde13b7720e2c5 upstream.

This patch does two things:

 - fixes a lost wakeup introduced by commit 339ddb53d373 ("fs/epoll:
   remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll")

 - improves performance for events delivery.

The description of the problem is the following: if N (&gt;1) threads are
waiting on ep-&gt;wq for new events and M (&gt;1) events come, it is quite
likely that &gt;1 wakeups hit the same wait queue entry, because there is
quite a big window between __add_wait_queue_exclusive() and the
following __remove_wait_queue() calls in ep_poll() function.

This can lead to lost wakeups, because thread, which was woken up, can
handle not all the events in -&gt;rdllist.  (in better words the problem is
described here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/7/905)

The idea of the current patch is to use init_wait() instead of
init_waitqueue_entry().

Internally init_wait() sets autoremove_wake_function as a callback,
which removes the wait entry atomically (under the wq locks) from the
list, thus the next coming wakeup hits the next wait entry in the wait
queue, thus preventing lost wakeups.

Problem is very well reproduced by the epoll60 test case [1].

Wait entry removal on wakeup has also performance benefits, because
there is no need to take a ep-&gt;lock and remove wait entry from the queue
after the successful wakeup.  Here is the timing output of the epoll60
test case:

  With explicit wakeup from ep_scan_ready_list() (the state of the
  code prior 339ddb53d373):

    real    0m6.970s
    user    0m49.786s
    sys     0m0.113s

 After this patch:

   real    0m5.220s
   user    0m36.879s
   sys     0m0.019s

The other testcase is the stress-epoll [2], where one thread consumes
all the events and other threads produce many events:

  With explicit wakeup from ep_scan_ready_list() (the state of the
  code prior 339ddb53d373):

    threads  events/ms  run-time ms
          8       5427         1474
         16       6163         2596
         32       6824         4689
         64       7060         9064
        128       6991        18309

 After this patch:

    threads  events/ms  run-time ms
          8       5598         1429
         16       7073         2262
         32       7502         4265
         64       7640         8376
        128       7634        16767

 (number of "events/ms" represents event bandwidth, thus higher is
  better; number of "run-time ms" represents overall time spent
  doing the benchmark, thus lower is better)

<title>cifs: do not share tcons with DFS</title>

[ Upstream commit 65303de829dd6d291a4947c1a31de31896f8a060 ]

This disables tcon re-use for DFS shares.

tcon-&gt;dfs_path stores the path that the tcon should connect to when
doing failing over.

If that tcon is used multiple times e.g. 2 mounts using it with
different prefixpath, each will need a different dfs_path but there is
only one tcon. The other solution would be to split the tcon in 2
tcons during failover but that is much harder.

tcons could not be shared with DFS in cifs.ko because in a
DFS namespace like:

          //domain/dfsroot -&gt; /serverA/dfsroot, /serverB/dfsroot

          //serverA/dfsroot/link -&gt; /serverA/target1/aa/bb

          //serverA/dfsroot/link2 -&gt; /serverA/target1/cc/dd

you can see that link and link2 are two DFS links that both resolve to
the same target share (/serverA/target1), so cifs.ko will only contain a
single tcon for both link and link2.

The problem with that is, if we (auto)mount "link" and "link2", cifs.ko
will only contain a single tcon for both DFS links so we couldn't
perform failover or refresh the DFS cache for both links because
tcon-&gt;dfs_path was set to either "link" or "link2", but not both --
which is wrong.

commit 7648f939cb919b9d15c21fff8cd9eba908d595dc upstream.

nfs3_set_acl keeps track of the acl it allocated locally to determine if an acl
needs to be released at the end.  This results in a memory leak when the
function allocates an acl as well as a default acl.  Fix by releasing acls
that differ from the acl originally passed into nfs3_set_acl.
