Pull second vfs pile from Al Viro:
 "The stuff in there: fsfreeze deadlock fixes by Jan (essentially, the
  deadlock reproduced by xfstests 068), symlink and hardlink restriction
  patches, plus assorted cleanups and fixes.

  Note that another fsfreeze deadlock (emergency thaw one) is *not*
  dealt with - the series by Fernando conflicts a lot with Jan's, breaks
  userland ABI (FIFREEZE semantics gets changed) and trades the deadlock
  for massive vfsmount leak; this is going to be handled next cycle.
  There probably will be another pull request, but that stuff won't be
  in it."

Fix up trivial conflicts due to unrelated changes next to each other in
drivers/{staging/gdm72xx/usb_boot.c, usb/gadget/storage_common.c}

<title>iscsi-target: Drop bogus struct file usage for iSCSI/SCTP</title>

From Al Viro:

	BTW, speaking of struct file treatment related to sockets -
        there's this piece of code in iscsi:
        /*
         * The SCTP stack needs struct socket-&gt;file.
         */
        if ((np-&gt;np_network_transport == ISCSI_SCTP_TCP) ||
            (np-&gt;np_network_transport == ISCSI_SCTP_UDP)) {
                if (!new_sock-&gt;file) {
                        new_sock-&gt;file = kzalloc(
                                        sizeof(struct file), GFP_KERNEL);

For one thing, as far as I can see it'not true - sctp does *not* depend on
socket-&gt;file being non-NULL; it does, in one place, check socket-&gt;file-&gt;f_flags
for O_NONBLOCK, but there it treats NULL socket-&gt;file as "flag not set".
Which is the case here anyway - the fake struct file created in
__iscsi_target_login_thread() (and in iscsi_target_setup_login_socket(), with
the same excuse) do *not* get that flag set.

Moreover, it's a bloody serious violation of a bunch of asserts in VFS;
all struct file instances should come from filp_cachep, via get_empty_filp()
(or alloc_file(), which is a wrapper for it).  FWIW, I'm very tempted to
do this and be done with the entire mess:

During a failure in transport_add_device_to_core_hba() code, we called
destroy_workqueue(dev-&gt;tmr_wq) before -&gt;tmr_wq was allocated which leads
to an oops.

This fixes a regression introduced in with:

We want it to be possible for target_submit_cmd() to return errors up
to its fabric module callers.  For now just update the prototype to
return an int, and update all callers to handle non-zero return values
as an error.

This is immediately useful for tcm_qla2xxx to fix a long-standing active
I/O session shutdown race, but tcm_fc, usb-gadget, and sbp-target the
fabric maintainers need to check + ACK that handling a target_submit_cmd()
failure due to session shutdown does not introduce regressions

(nab: Respin against for-next after initial NACK + update docbook comment +
      fix double se_cmd init in exception path for usb-gadget)

It's possible for an initiator to send us an UNMAP command with a
descriptor that is less than 8 bytes; in that case it's really bad for
us to set an unsigned int to that value, subtract 8 from it, and then
use that as a limit for our loop (since the value will wrap around to
a huge positive value).

Fix this by making size be signed and only looping if size &gt;= 16 (ie
if we have at least a full descriptor available).

Also remove offset as an obfuscated name for the constant 8.

When processing an UNMAP command, we need to make sure that the number
of blocks we're asked to UNMAP does not exceed our reported maximum
number of blocks per UNMAP, and that the range of blocks we're
unmapping doesn't go past the end of the device.

Many SCSI commands are defined to return a CHECK CONDITION / ILLEGAL
REQUEST with ASC set to LOGICAL BLOCK ADDRESS OUT OF RANGE if the
initiator sends a command that accesses a too-big LBA.  Add an enum
value and case entries so that target code can return this status.

Many SCSI commands are defined to return a CHECK CONDITION / ILLEGAL
REQUEST with ASC set to LOGICAL BLOCK ADDRESS OUT OF RANGE if the
initiator sends a command that accesses a too-big LBA.  Add an enum
value and case entries so that target code can return this status.
