<title>vfs: make the string hashes salt the hash</title>

We always mixed in the parent pointer into the dentry name hash, but we
did it late at lookup time.  It turns out that we can simplify that
lookup-time action by salting the hash with the parent pointer early
instead of late.

A few other users of our string hashes also wanted to mix in their own
pointers into the hash, and those are updated to use the same mechanism.

Hash users that don't have any particular initial salt can just use the
NULL pointer as a no-salt.

<title>hpfs: implement the show_options method</title>

The HPFS filesystem used generic_show_options to produce string that is
displayed in /proc/mounts.  However, there is a problem that the options
may disappear after remount.  If we mount the filesystem with option1
and then remount it with option2, /proc/mounts should show both option1
and option2, however it only shows option2 because the whole option
string is replaced with replace_mount_options in hpfs_remount_fs.

To fix this bug, implement the hpfs_show_options function that prints
options that are currently selected.

Commit ce657611baf9 ("hpfs: kstrdup() out of memory handling") checks if
the kstrdup function returns NULL due to out-of-memory condition.

However, if we are remounting a filesystem with no change to
filesystem-specific options, the parameter data is NULL.  In this case,
kstrdup returns NULL (because it was passed NULL parameter), although no
out of memory condition exists.  The mount syscall then fails with
ENOMEM.

This patch fixes the bug.  We fail with ENOMEM only if data is non-NULL.

The patch also changes the call to replace_mount_options - if we didn't
pass any filesystem-specific options, we don't call
replace_mount_options (thus we don't erase existing reported options).

NOTE: the only reason we can do that without -&gt;i_rdir_offs races
is that hpfs_lock() serializes everything in there anyway.  It's
not that hard to get rid of, but not as part of this series...

pr_err() is nice, but we'd better propagate the error
to caller and not proceed to violate the invariants
(namely, "every file with f_pos tied to directory block
should have its address visible in per-inode array").

<title>hpfs: don't truncate the file when delete fails</title>

The delete opration can allocate additional space on the HPFS filesystem
due to btree split. The HPFS driver checks in advance if there is
available space, so that it won't corrupt the btree if we run out of space
during splitting.

If there is not enough available space, the HPFS driver attempted to
truncate the file, but this results in a deadlock since the commit
7dd29d8d865efdb00c0542a5d2c87af8c52ea6c7 ("HPFS: Introduce a global mutex
and lock it on every callback from VFS").

This patch removes the code that tries to truncate the file and -ENOSPC is
returned instead. If the user hits -ENOSPC on delete, he should try to
delete other files (that are stored in a leaf btree node), so that the
delete operation will make some space for deleting the file stored in
non-leaf btree node.

<title>kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcg</title>

Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from
userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to
memcg.  For the list, see below:

 - threadinfo
 - task_struct
 - task_delay_info
 - pid
 - cred
 - mm_struct
 - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
 - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
 - signal_struct
 - sighand_struct
 - fs_struct
 - files_struct
 - fdtable and fdtable-&gt;full_fds_bits
 - dentry and external_name
 - inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
   most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.

The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds.  Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).
