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 &amp; 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 &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;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.

Buffer heads referencing indirect blocks may not be released if the file
is truncated at the right time. This happens because ext2_get_branch()
returns NULL when it finds the whole chain of indirect blocks already
set, and when truncate alters the chain this value of NULL is
treated as the address of the last head to be released. Handle this in the
same way as it's done after the got_it label.

<id>53ef7d0e208fa38c3f63d287e0c3ab174f1e1235</id>
<content type='text'>
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this has been in multiple -next releases. There were a few
  late breaking fixes and small features that got added in the last
  couple days, but the whole set has received a build success
  notification from the kbuild robot.

  Change summary:

   - Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the
     parent to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been
     reported via the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block
     devices for namespaces in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that
     namespaces can be in "device-dax" or "btt-sector" mode this new
     interface reports media errors generically, i.e. independent of
     namespace modes or state.

     This subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1
     Section 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error"
     requests and submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus
     devices.

   - Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted
     by a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for
     dax capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations.
     This fixes the broken assumption that all dax operations are
     related to a persistent memory device, and makes it easier for
     other architectures and platforms to add customized persistent
     memory support.

   - 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is
     available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger
     memory controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would
     otherwise be flushed automatically by the platform ADR
     (asynchronous-DRAM-refresh) mechanism at a power loss event.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this has been in multiple -next releases. There were a few
  late breaking fixes and small features that got added in the last
  couple days, but the whole set has received a build success
  notification from the kbuild robot.

  Change summary:

   - Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the
     parent to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been
     reported via the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block
     devices for namespaces in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that
     namespaces can be in "device-dax" or "btt-sector" mode this new
     interface reports media errors generically, i.e. independent of
     namespace modes or state.

     This subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1
     Section 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error"
     requests and submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus
     devices.

   - Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted
     by a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for
     dax capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations.
     This fixes the broken assumption that all dax operations are
     related to a persistent memory device, and makes it easier for
     other architectures and platforms to add customized persistent
     memory support.

   - 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is
     available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger
     memory controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would
     otherwise be flushed automatically by the platform ADR
     (asynchronous-DRAM-refresh) mechanism at a power loss event.
     Support for "locked" DIMMs is included to prevent namespaces from
     surfacing when the namespace label data area is locked. Finally,
     fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes, also tagged for
     -stable.

   - ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to
     add DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM
     payload debug available by default, and various fixes.

In preparation for converting fs/dax.c to use dax_direct_access()
instead of bdev_direct_access(), add the plumbing to retrieve the
dax_device associated with a given block_device.

Now that all places setting inode-&gt;i_flags that should be reflected in
on-disk flags are gone, we can remove ext2_get_inode_flags() call.

<title>ext2: Call dquot_writeback_dquots() with s_umount held</title>

ext2_sync_fs() could be called without s_umount semaphore held when
called through ext2_write_super() from __ext2_write_inode(). This
function then calls dquot_writeback_dquots() which relies on s_umount to
be held for protection against other quota operations.

In fact __ext2_write_inode() does not need all the functionality
ext2_write_super() provides. It is enough to just write the superblock.
So use ext2_sync_super() instead.

<title>ext2: Return BH_New buffers for zeroed blocks</title>

<content type='text'>
So far we did not return BH_New buffers from ext2_get_blocks() when we
allocated and zeroed-out a block for DAX inode to avoid racy zeroing in
DAX code. This zeroing is gone these days so we can remove the
workaround.
