zram_meta_alloc() constructs a pool name for zs_create_pool() call as

    snprintf(pool_name, sizeof(pool_name), "zram%d", device_id);

However, it defines pool name buffer to be only 8 bytes long (minus
trailing zero), which means that we can have only 1000 pool names: zram0
-- zram999.

With CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT enabled an attempt to create a device zram1000
can fail if device zram100 already exists, because snprintf() will
truncate new pool name to zram100 and pass it debugfs_create_dir(),
causing:

  debugfs dir &lt;zram100&gt; creation failed
  zram: Error creating memory pool

... and so on.

Fix it by passing zram-&gt;disk-&gt;disk_name to zram_meta_alloc() instead of
divice_id.  We construct zram%d name earlier and keep it as a -&gt;disk_name,
no need to snprintf() it again.

<title>rbd: fix copyup completion race</title>

For write/discard obj_requests that involved a copyup method call, the
opcode of the first op is CEPH_OSD_OP_CALL and the -&gt;callback is
rbd_img_obj_copyup_callback().  The latter frees copyup pages, sets
-&gt;xferred and delegates to rbd_img_obj_callback(), the "normal" image
object callback, for reporting to block layer and putting refs.

rbd_osd_req_callback() however treats CEPH_OSD_OP_CALL as a trivial op,
which means obj_request is marked done in rbd_osd_trivial_callback(),
*before* -&gt;callback is invoked and rbd_img_obj_copyup_callback() has
a chance to run.  Marking obj_request done essentially means giving
rbd_img_obj_callback() a license to end it at any moment, so if another
obj_request from the same img_request is being completed concurrently,
rbd_img_obj_end_request() may very well be called on such prematurally
marked done request:

&lt;obj_request-1/2 reply&gt;
handle_reply()
  rbd_osd_req_callback()
    rbd_osd_trivial_callback()
    rbd_obj_request_complete()
    rbd_img_obj_copyup_callback()
    rbd_img_obj_callback()
                                    &lt;obj_request-2/2 reply&gt;
                                    handle_reply()
                                      rbd_osd_req_callback()
                                        rbd_osd_trivial_callback()
      for_each_obj_request(obj_request-&gt;img_request) {
        rbd_img_obj_end_request(obj_request-1/2)
        rbd_img_obj_end_request(obj_request-2/2) &lt;--
      }

Calling rbd_img_obj_end_request() on such a request leads to trouble,
in particular because its -&gt;xfferred is 0.  We report 0 to the block
layer with blk_update_request(), get back 1 for "this request has more
data in flight" and then trip on

    rbd_assert(more ^ (which == img_request-&gt;obj_request_count));

with rhs (which == ...) being 1 because rbd_img_obj_end_request() has
been called for both requests and lhs (more) being 1 because we haven't
got a chance to set -&gt;xfferred in rbd_img_obj_copyup_callback() yet.

To fix this, leverage that rbd wants to call class methods in only two
cases: one is a generic method call wrapper (obj_request is standalone)
and the other is a copyup (obj_request is part of an img_request).  So
make a dedicated handler for CEPH_OSD_OP_CALL and directly invoke
rbd_img_obj_copyup_callback() from it if obj_request is part of an
img_request, similar to how CEPH_OSD_OP_READ handler invokes
rbd_img_obj_request_read_callback().

Since rbd_img_obj_copyup_callback() is now being called from the OSD
request callback (only), it is renamed to rbd_osd_copyup_callback().

The BUG_ON() in purge_persistent_gnt() will be triggered when previous purge
work haven't finished.

There is a work_pending() before this BUG_ON, but it doesn't account if the work
is still currently running.

We should consider info-&gt;feature_persistent when adding indirect page to list
info-&gt;indirect_pages, else the BUG_ON() in blkif_free() would be triggered.

When we are using persistent grants the indirect_pages list
should always be empty because blkfront has pre-allocated enough
persistent pages to fill all requests on the ring.

There is a bug when migrate from !feature-persistent host to feature-persistent
host, because domU still thinks new host/backend doesn't support persistent.
Dmesg like:
backed has not unmapped grant: 839
backed has not unmapped grant: 773
backed has not unmapped grant: 773
backed has not unmapped grant: 773
backed has not unmapped grant: 839

The fix is to recheck feature-persistent of new backend in blkif_recover().
See: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/25/469

As Roger suggested, we can split the part of blkfront_connect that checks for
optional features, like persistent grants, indirect descriptors and
flush/barrier features to a separate function and call it from both
blkfront_connect and blkif_recover

Pull more vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "Assorted VFS fixes and related cleanups (IMO the most interesting in
  that part are f_path-related things and Eric's descriptor-related
  stuff).  UFS regression fixes (it got broken last cycle).  9P fixes.
  fs-cache series, DAX patches, Jan's file_remove_suid() work"

[ I'd say this is much more than "fixes and related cleanups".  The
  file_table locking rule change by Eric Dumazet is a rather big and
  fundamental update even if the patch isn't huge.   - Linus ]

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (49 commits)
  9p: cope with bogus responses from server in p9_client_{read,write}
  p9_client_write(): avoid double p9_free_req()
  9p: forgetting to cancel request on interrupted zero-copy RPC
  dax: bdev_direct_access() may sleep
  block: Add support for DAX reads/writes to block devices
  dax: Use copy_from_iter_nocache
  dax: Add block size note to documentation
  fs/file.c: __fget() and dup2() atomicity rules
  fs/file.c: don't acquire files-&gt;file_lock in fd_install()
  fs:super:get_anon_bdev: fix race condition could cause dev exceed its upper limitation
  vfs: avoid creation of inode number 0 in get_next_ino
  namei: make set_root_rcu() return void
  make simple_positive() public
  ufs: use dir_pages instead of ufs_dir_pages()
  pagemap.h: move dir_pages() over there
  remove the pointless include of lglock.h
  fs: cleanup slight list_entry abuse
  xfs: Correctly lock inode when removing suid and file capabilities
  fs: Call security_ops-&gt;inode_killpriv on truncate
  fs: Provide function telling whether file_remove_privs() will do anything
