commit afe3c3fd5392b2f0066930abc5dbd3f4b14a0f13 upstream.

As of f025adf191924e3a75ce80e130afcd2485b53bb8 "sunrpc: Properly decode
kuids and kgids in RPC_AUTH_UNIX credentials" any rpc containing a -1
(0xffff) uid or gid would fail with a badcred error.

Reported symptoms were xmbc clients failing on upgrade of the NFS
server; examination of the network trace showed them sending -1 as the
gid.

commit a3c3cac5d31879cd9ae2de7874dc6544ca704aec upstream.

The lockless RPC_IS_QUEUED() test in __rpc_execute means that we need to
be careful about ordering the calls to rpc_test_and_set_running(task) and
rpc_clear_queued(task). If we get the order wrong, then we may end up
testing the RPC_TASK_RUNNING flag after __rpc_execute() has looped
and changed the state of the rpc_task.

If the call to rpciod_up() fails, we currently leak a reference to the
struct rpc_xprt.
As part of the fix, we also remove the redundant check for xprt!=NULL.
This is already taken care of by the callers.

While testing error cases where rpc_new_client() fails, I saw
some oopses.

If rpc_new_client() fails, it already invokes xprt_put().  Thus
__rpc_clone_client() does not need to invoke it again.

We need to be careful when testing task-&gt;tk_waitqueue in
rpc_wake_up_task_queue_locked, because it can be changed while we
are holding the queue-&gt;lock.
By adding appropriate memory barriers, we can ensure that it is safe to
test task-&gt;tk_waitqueue for equality if the RPC_TASK_QUEUED bit is set.

Pull namespace bugfixes from Eric Biederman:
 "This tree includes a partial revert for "fs: Limit sys_mount to only
  request filesystem modules." When I added the new style module aliases
  to the filesystems I deleted the old ones.  A bad move.  It turns out
  that distributions like Arch linux use module aliases when
  constructing ramdisks.  Which meant ultimately that an ext3 filesystem
  mounted with ext4 would not result in the ext4 module being put into
  the ramdisk.

  The other change in this tree adds a handful of filesystem module
  alias I simply failed to add the first time.  Which inconvinienced a
  few folks using cifs.

  I don't want to inconvinience folks any longer than I have to so here
  are these trivial fixes."

I had assumed that the only use of module aliases for filesystems
prior to "fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules."
was in request_module.  It turns out I was wrong.  At least mkinitcpio
in Arch linux uses these aliases.

So readd the preexising aliases, to keep from breaking userspace.

Userspace eventually will have to follow and use the same aliases the
kernel does.  So at some point we may be delete these aliases without
problems.  However that day is not today.
