Pull CIFS fixes from Steve French:
 "A fix for the problem which Al spotted in cifs_writev and a followup
  (noticed when fixing CVE-2014-0069) patch to ensure that cifs never
  sends more than the smb frame length over the socket (as we saw with
  that cifs_iovec_write problem that Jeff fixed last month)"

* 'for-next' of git://git.samba.org/sfrench/cifs-2.6:
  cifs: mask off top byte in get_rfc1002_length()
  cifs: sanity check length of data to send before sending

<title>hfsplus: add HFSX subfolder count support</title>

<id>d7d673a591701f131e53d4fd4e2b9352f1316642</id>
<content type='text'>
Adds support for HFSX 'HasFolderCount' flag and a corresponding
'folderCount' field in folder records.  (For reference see
HFS_FOLDERCOUNT and kHFSHasFolderCountBit/kHFSHasFolderCountMask in
Apple's source code.)

Ignoring subfolder count leads to fs errors found by Mac:

  ...
  Checking catalog hierarchy.
  HasFolderCount flag needs to be set (id = 105)
  (It should be 0x10 instead of 0)
  Incorrect folder count in a directory (id = 2)
  (It should be 7 instead of 6)
  ...

Steps to reproduce:
 Format with "newfs_hfs -s /dev/diskXXX".
 Mount in Linux.
 Create a new directory in root.
 Unmount.
 Run "fsck_hfs /dev/diskXXX".

The patch handles directory creation, deletion, and rename.

The expected logic of proc_map_files_get_link() is either to return 0
and initialize 'path' or return an error and leave 'path' uninitialized.

By the time dname_to_vma_addr() returns 0 the corresponding vma may have
already be gone.  In this case the path is not initialized but the
return value is still 0.  This results in 'general protection fault'
inside d_path().

Steps to reproduce:

  CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y

    fd = open(...);
    while (1) {
        mmap(fd, ...);
        munmap(fd, ...);
    }

  ls -la /proc/$PID/map_files

<id>9c225f2655e36a470c4f58dbbc99244c5fc7f2d4</id>
<content type='text'>
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.
