Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "The first vfs pile, with deep apologies for being very late in this
  window.

  Assorted cleanups and fixes, plus a large preparatory part of iov_iter
  work.  There's a lot more of that, but it'll probably go into the next
  merge window - it *does* shape up nicely, removes a lot of
  boilerplate, gets rid of locking inconsistencie between aio_write and
  splice_write and I hope to get Kent's direct-io rewrite merged into
  the same queue, but some of the stuff after this point is having
  (mostly trivial) conflicts with the things already merged into
  mainline and with some I want more testing.

  This one passes LTP and xfstests without regressions, in addition to
  usual beating.  BTW, readahead02 in ltp syscalls testsuite has started
  giving failures since "mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for
  memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages" - might be a false
  positive, might be a real regression..."

Pull file locking updates from Jeff Layton:
 "Highlights:

   - maintainership change for fs/locks.c.  Willy's not interested in
     maintaining it these days, and is OK with Bruce and I taking it.
   - fix for open vs setlease race that Al ID'ed
   - cleanup and consolidation of file locking code
   - eliminate unneeded BUG() call
   - merge of file-private lock implementation"

new flag in ->f_mode - FMODE_WRITER.  Set by do_dentry_open() in case
when it has grabbed write access, checked by __fput() to decide whether
it wants to drop the sucker.  Allows to stop bothering with mnt_clone_write()
in alloc_file(), along with fewer special_file() checks.

it only makes control flow in __fput() and friends more convoluted.

Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

it's pointless and actually leads to wrong behaviour in at least one
moderately convoluted case (pipe(), close one end, try to get to
another via /proc/*/fd and run into ETXTBUSY).

This function currently removes leases in addition to flock locks and in
a later patch we'll have it deal with file-private locks too. Rename it
to locks_remove_file to indicate that it removes locks that are
associated with a particular struct file, and not just flock locks.

Our write() system call has always been atomic in the sense that you get
the expected thread-safe contiguous write, but we haven't actually
guaranteed that concurrent writes are serialized wrt f_pos accesses, so
threads (or processes) that share a file descriptor and use "write()"
concurrently would quite likely overwrite each others data.

This violates POSIX.1-2008/SUSv4 Section XSI 2.9.7 that says:

 "2.9.7 Thread Interactions with Regular File Operations

  All of the following functions shall be atomic with respect to each
  other in the effects specified in POSIX.1-2008 when they operate on
  regular files or symbolic links: [...]"

and one of the effects is the file position update.

This unprotected file position behavior is not new behavior, and nobody
has ever cared.  Until now.  Yongzhi Pan reported unexpected behavior to
Michael Kerrisk that was due to this.

This resolves the issue with a f_pos-specific lock that is taken by
read/write/lseek on file descriptors that may be shared across threads
or processes.
