Pull fscache updates from David Howells:
 "Three patches that fix some of AFS's usage of fscache:

   (1) Need to invalidate the cache if a foreign data change is detected
       on the server.

   (2) Move the vnode ID uniquifier (equivalent to i_generation) from
       the auxiliary data to the index key to prevent a race between
       file delete and a subsequent file create seeing the same index
       key.

   (3) Need to retire cookies that correspond to files that we think got
       deleted on the server.

  Four patches to fix some things in fscache and cachefiles:

   (4) Fix a couple of checker warnings.

   (5) Correctly indicate to the end-of-operation callback whether an
       operation completed or was cancelled.

   (6) Add a check for multiple cookie relinquishment.

   (7) Fix a path through the asynchronous write that doesn't wake up a
       waiter for a page if the cache decides not to write that page,
       but discards it instead.

  A couple of patches to add tracepoints to fscache and cachefiles:

   (8) Add tracepoints for cookie operators, object state machine
       execution, cachefiles object management and cachefiles VFS
       operations.

   (9) Add tracepoints for fscache operation management and page
       wrangling.

  And then three development patches:

  (10) Attach the index key and auxiliary data to the cookie, pass this
       information through various fscache-netfs API functions and get
       rid of the callbacks to the netfs to get it.

       This means that the cache can get at this information, even if
       the netfs goes away. It also means that the cache can be lazy in
       updating the coherency data.

  (11) Pass the object data size through various fscache-netfs API
       rather than calling back to the netfs for it, and store the value
       in the object.

       This makes it easier to correctly resize the object, as the size
       is updated on writes to the cache, rather than calling back out
       to the netfs.

  (12) Maintain a catalogue of allocated cookies. This makes it possible
       to catch cookie collision up front rather than down in the bowels
       of the cache being run from a service thread from the object
       state machine.

       This will also make it possible in the future to reconnect to a
       cookie that's not gone dead yet because it's waiting for
       finalisation of the storage and also make it possible to bring
       cookies online if the cache is added after the cookie has been
       obtained"

  afs: Invalidate cache on server data change

fscache: Pass object size in rather than calling back for it

2018-04-06T13:05:14+00:00

Pass the object size in to fscache_acquire_cookie() and
fscache_write_page() rather than the netfs providing a callback by which it
can be received.  This makes it easier to update the size of the object
when a new page is written that extends the object.

The current object size is also passed by fscache to the check_aux
function, obviating the need to store it in the aux data.

fs/9p: don't set SB_NOATIME by default

2018-04-06T04:36:22+00:00

When the user uses some syscall, for example mmap(v9fs_file_mmap), it
will not update atime even if user's was set mnt_flags without
MNT_NOATIME, because v9fs defaults to settine SB_NOATIME in
v9fs_set_super.

For supporting access time updating when the user mounts with relatime,
we should not set SB_NOATIME by default.

9p: don't maintain dir i_nlink if the exported fs doesn't either

2018-04-06T04:36:22+00:00

If the exported filesystem dir on 9p server doesn't maintain accurate
i_nlink count, e.g.  always reports i_nlink as 1, then 9p should not
maintain nlink count either, otherwise drop_link would report warning
with i_nlink being zero.

For example:

 - overlayfs sets nlink to 1 for merged dir

 - ext4 (with dir_nlink feature enabled) sets nlink to 1 if a dir has
   more than EXT4_LINK_MAX (65000) links.

In this case, everytime a stat(2) call (getattr) on such exported dirs
on 9p client side, the i_nlink gets reset to 1, then operations like
rmdir(2), unlink(2) and rename(2) would cause the dir nlink to go to
zero (then negative), which results in warnings in drop_nlink() and/or
inc_nlink() calls.

This can be reproduced easily as the following steps:

 - export a merged overlayfs dir via qemu virtfs to guest

 - mount the exported virtfs in guest

 - create two sub-directories in the root dir of the mounted 9pfs

 - stat the root dir of 9pfs, this resets nlink to 1

 - remove all subdirs, the second unlink/rmdir would trigger warning

  ---[ end trace 43758d8ba91e603b ]---

Fix it by leaving i_nlink to be 1 and don't drop nlink if a directory
has nlink <= 2, which indicates that the underlying exported fs doesn't
maintain nlink count accurately.  This follows what ext4 does in
ext4_dec_count().

fscache: Attach the index key and aux data to the cookie

2018-04-04T12:41:28+00:00

Attach copies of the index key and auxiliary data to the fscache cookie so
that:

 (1) The callbacks to the netfs for this stuff can be eliminated.  This
     can simplify things in the cache as the information is still
     available, even after the cache has relinquished the cookie.

 (2) Simplifies the locking requirements of accessing the information as we
     don't have to worry about the netfs object going away on us.

 (3) The cache can do lazy updating of the coherency information on disk.
     As long as the cache is flushed before reboot/poweroff, there's no
     need to update the coherency info on disk every time it changes.

 (4) Cookies can be hashed or put in a tree as the index key is easily
     available.  This allows:

     (a) Checks for duplicate cookies can be made at the top fscache layer
     	 rather than down in the bowels of the cache backend.

     (b) Caching can be added to a netfs object that has a cookie if the
     	 cache is brought online after the netfs object is allocated.

A certain amount of space is made in the cookie for inline copies of the
data, but if it won't fit there, extra memory will be allocated for it.

The downside of this is that live cache operation requires more memory.

Rename superblock flags (MS_xyz -> SB_xyz)

2017-11-27T21:05:09+00:00

This is a pure automated search-and-replace of the internal kernel
superblock flags.

The s_flags are now called SB_*, with the names and the values for the
moment mirroring the MS_* flags that they're equivalent to.

Note how the MS_xyz flags are the ones passed to the mount system call,
while the SB_xyz flags are what we then use in sb->s_flags.

The script to do this was:

    # places to look in; re security/*: it generally should *not* be
    # touched (that stuff parses mount(2) arguments directly), but
    # there are two places where we really deal with superblock flags.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
