Fuzzing with trinity oopsed on the 1st instruction of shmem_fh_to_dentry(),
	u64 inum = fid-&gt;raw[2];
which is unhelpfully reported as at the end of shmem_alloc_inode():

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880061cd3000
IP: [&lt;ffffffff812190d0&gt;] shmem_alloc_inode+0x40/0x40
Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
Call Trace:
 [&lt;ffffffff81488649&gt;] ? exportfs_decode_fh+0x79/0x2d0
 [&lt;ffffffff812d77c3&gt;] do_handle_open+0x163/0x2c0
 [&lt;ffffffff812d792c&gt;] sys_open_by_handle_at+0xc/0x10
 [&lt;ffffffff83a5f3f8&gt;] tracesys+0xe1/0xe6

Right, tmpfs is being stupid to access fid-&gt;raw[2] before validating that
fh_len includes it: the buffer kmalloc'ed by do_sys_name_to_handle() may
fall at the end of a page, and the next page not be present.

But some other filesystems (ceph, gfs2, isofs, reiserfs, xfs) are being
careless about fh_len too, in fh_to_dentry() and/or fh_to_parent(), and
could oops in the same way: add the missing fh_len checks to those.

Move actual pte filling for non-linear file mappings into the new special
vma operation: -&gt;remap_pages().

Filesystems must implement this method to get non-linear mapping support,
if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used.

Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support.

A pgoff_t is defined (by default) to have type (unsigned long).  On
architectures such as i686 that's a 32-bit type.  The ceph address
space code was attempting to produce 64 bit offsets by shifting a
page's index by PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT, but the result was not what was
desired because the shift occurred before the result got promoted
to 64 bits.

Fix this by converting all uses of page-&gt;index used in this way to
use the page_offset() macro, which ensures the 64-bit result has the
intended value.

This fixes http://tracker.newdream.net/issues/3112

<title>fs: push rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() to filesystems</title>

There's no reason to call rcu_barrier() on every
deactivate_locked_super().  We only need to make sure that all delayed rcu
free inodes are flushed before we destroy related cache.

Removing rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() affects some fast
paths.  E.g.  on my machine exit_group() of a last process in IPC
namespace takes 0.07538s.  rcu_barrier() takes 0.05188s of that time.

<title>ceph: let path portion of mount "device" be optional</title>

<id>c98f533c9497e285109a047bfb955d683f33f7e4</id>
<content type='text'>
A recent change to /sbin/mountall causes any trailing '/' character
in the "device" (or fs_spec) field in /etc/fstab to be stripped.  As
a result, an entry for a ceph mount that intends to mount the root
of the name space ends up with now path portion, and the ceph mount
option processing code rejects this.

That is, an entry in /etc/fstab like:
    cephserver:port:/ /mnt ceph defaults 0 0
provides to the ceph code just "cephserver:port:" as the "device,"
and that gets rejected.

Although this is a bug in /sbin/mountall, we can have the ceph mount
code support an empty/nonexistent path, interpreting it to mean the
root of the name space.

RFC 5952 offers recommendations for how to express IPv6 addresses,
and recommends the usage found in RFC 3986 (which specifies the
format for URI's) for representing both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses that
include port numbers.  (See in particular the definition of
"authority" found in the Appendix of RFC 3986.)

According to those standards, no host specification will ever
contain a '/' character.  As a result, it is sufficient to scan a
provided "device" from an /etc/fstab entry for the first '/'
character, and if it's found, treat that as the beginning of the
path.  If no '/' character is present, we can treat the entire
string as the monitor host specification(s), and assume the path
to be the root of the name space.  We'll still require a ':' to
separate the host portion from the (possibly empty) path portion.

This means that we can more formally define how ceph will interpret
the "device" it's provided when processing a mount request:

    "device" will look like:
        &lt;server_spec&gt;[,&lt;server_spec&gt;...]:[&lt;path&gt;]
    where
        &lt;server_spec&gt; is &lt;ip&gt;[:&lt;port&gt;]
        &lt;path&gt; is optional, but if present must begin with '/'

A recent change to /sbin/mountall causes any trailing '/' character
in the "device" (or fs_spec) field in /etc/fstab to be stripped.  As
a result, an entry for a ceph mount that intends to mount the root
of the name space ends up with now path portion, and the ceph mount
option processing code rejects this.

That is, an entry in /etc/fstab like:
    cephserver:port:/ /mnt ceph defaults 0 0
