All filesystems that support xattrs by now do so via xattr handlers.
They all define sb->s_xattr, and their getxattr, setxattr, and
removexattr inode operations use the generic inode operations. On
filesystems that don't support xattrs, the xattr inode operations are
all NULL, and sb->s_xattr is also NULL.
This means that we can remove the getxattr, setxattr, and removexattr
inode operations and directly call the generic handlers, or better,
inline expand those handlers into fs/xattr.c.
Filesystems that do not support xattrs on some inodes should clear the
IOP_XATTR i_opflags flag in those inodes. (Right now, some filesystems
have checks to disable xattrs on some inodes in the ->list, ->get, and
->set xattr handler operations instead.) The IOP_XATTR flag is
automatically cleared in inodes of filesystems that don't have xattr
support.
In orangefs, symlinks do have a setxattr iop but no getxattr iop. Add a
check for symlinks to orangefs_inode_getxattr to preserve the current,
weird behavior; that check may not be necessary though.

When an inode doesn't support xattrs, turn listxattr off as well.
(When xattrs are "turned off", the VFS still passes security xattr
operations through to security modules, which can still expose inode
security labels that way.)

The IOP_XATTR inode operations flag in inode->i_opflags indicates that
the inode has xattr support. The flag is automatically set by
new_inode() on filesystems with xattr support (where sb->s_xattr is
defined), and cleared otherwise. Filesystems can explicitly clear it
for inodes that should not have xattr support.

David Howells says:
====================
rxrpc: Fixes
This set of patches contains a bunch of fixes:
(1) Fix an oops on incoming call to a local endpoint without a bound
service.
(2) Only ping for a lost reply in a client call (this is inapplicable to
service calls).
(3) Fix maybe uninitialised variable warnings in the ACK/ABORT sending
function by splitting it.
(4) Fix loss of PING RESPONSE ACKs due to them being subsumed by PING ACK
generation.
(5) OpenAFS improperly terminates calls it makes as a client under some
circumstances by not fully hard-ACK'ing the last DATA packets. This
is alleviated by a new call appearing on the same channel implicitly
completing the previous call on that channel. Handle this implicit
completion.
(6) Properly handle expiry of service calls due to the aforementioned
improper termination with no follow up call to implicitly complete it:
(a) The call's background processor needs to be queued to complete the
call, send an abort and notify the socket.
(b) The call's background processor needs to notify the socket (or the
kernel service) when it has completed the call.
(c) A negative error code must thence be returned to the kernel
service so that it knows the call died.
(d) The AFS filesystem must detect the fatal error and end the call.
(7) Must produce a DELAY ACK when the actual service operation takes a
while to process and must cancel the ACK when the reply is ready.
(8) Don't request an ACK on the last DATA packet of the Tx phase as this
confuses OpenAFS.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"This set of changes is a number of smaller things that have been
overlooked in other development cycles focused on more fundamental
change. The devpts changes are small things that were a distraction
until we managed to kill off DEVPTS_MULTPLE_INSTANCES. There is an
trivial regression fix to autofs for the unprivileged mount changes
that went in last cycle. A pair of ioctls has been added by Andrey
Vagin making it is possible to discover the relationships between
namespaces when referring to them through file descriptors.
The big user visible change is starting to add simple resource limits
to catch programs that misbehave. With namespaces in general and user
namespaces in particular allowing users to use more kinds of
resources, it has become important to have something to limit errant
programs. Because the purpose of these limits is to catch errant
programs the code needs to be inexpensive to use as it always on, and
the default limits need to be high enough that well behaved programs
on well behaved systems don't encounter them.
To this end, after some review I have implemented per user per user
namespace limits, and use them to limit the number of namespaces. The
limits being per user mean that one user can not exhause the limits of
another user. The limits being per user namespace allow contexts where
the limit is 0 and security conscious folks can remove from their
threat anlysis the code used to manage namespaces (as they have
historically done as it root only). At the same time the limits being
per user namespace allow other parts of the system to use namespaces.
Namespaces are increasingly being used in application sand boxing
scenarios so an all or nothing disable for the entire system for the
security conscious folks makes increasing use of these sandboxes
impossible.
There is also added a limit on the maximum number of mounts present in
a single mount namespace. It is nontrivial to guess what a reasonable
system wide limit on the number of mount structure in the kernel would
be, especially as it various based on how a system is using
containers. A limit on the number of mounts in a mount namespace
however is much easier to understand and set. In most cases in
practice only about 1000 mounts are used. Given that some autofs
scenarious have the potential to be 30,000 to 50,000 mounts I have set
the default limit for the number of mounts at 100,000 which is well
above every known set of users but low enough that the mount hash
tables don't degrade unreaonsably.
These limits are a start. I expect this estabilishes a pattern that
other limits for resources that namespaces use will follow. There has
been interest in making inotify event limits per user per user
namespace as well as interest expressed in making details about what
is going on in the kernel more visible"

Pull xfs and iomap updates from Dave Chinner:
"The main things in this update are the iomap-based DAX infrastructure,
an XFS delalloc rework, and a chunk of fixes to how log recovery
schedules writeback to prevent spurious corruption detections when
recovery of certain items was not required.
The other main chunk of code is some preparation for the upcoming
reflink functionality. Most of it is generic and cleanups that stand
alone, but they were ready and reviewed so are in this pull request.
Speaking of reflink, I'm currently planning to send you another pull
request next week containing all the new reflink functionality. I'm
working through a similar process to the last cycle, where I sent the
reverse mapping code in a separate request because of how large it
was. The reflink code merge is even bigger than reverse mapping, so
I'll be doing the same thing again....
Summary for this update:
- change of XFS mailing list to linux-xfs@vger.kernel.org
- iomap-based DAX infrastructure w/ XFS and ext2 support
- small iomap fixes and additions
- more efficient XFS delayed allocation infrastructure based on iomap
- a rework of log recovery writeback scheduling to ensure we don't
fail recovery when trying to replay items that are already on disk
- some preparation patches for upcoming reflink support
- configurable error handling fixes and documentation
- aio access time update race fixes for XFS and
generic_file_read_iter"

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
- Correct ARMs dma-mapping to use the correct printk format strings.
- Avoid defining OBJCOPYFLAGS globally which upsets lkdtm rodata
testing.
- Cleanups to ARMs asm/memory.h include.
- L2 cache cleanups.
- Allow flat nommu binaries to be executed on ARM MMU systems.
- Kernel hardening - add more read-only after init annotations,
including making some kernel vdso variables const.
- Ensure AMBA primecell clocks are appropriately defaulted.
- ARM breakpoint cleanup.
- Various StrongARM 11x0 and companion chip (SA1111) updates to bring
this legacy platform to use more modern APIs for (eg) GPIOs and
interrupts, which will allow us in the future to reduce some of the
board-level driver clutter and elimate function callbacks into board
code via platform data. There still appears to be interest in these
platforms!
- Remove the now redundant secure_flush_area() API.
- Module PLT relocation optimisations. Ard says: This series of 4
patches optimizes the ARM PLT generation code that is invoked at
module load time, to get rid of the O(n^2) algorithm that results in
pathological load times of 10 seconds or more for large modules on
certain STB platforms.
- ARMv7M cache maintanence support.
- L2 cache PMU support

When it's in the waiting-for-ACK state, the AFS filesystem needs to check
the result of rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() any time it is notified to see if it
is indicating a fatal error. If this is the case, it needs to mark the
call completed otherwise the call just sits there and never goes away.

we only use iov_iter_get_pages_alloc() and iov_iter_advance() -
pages are filled by kernel_readv() via a kvec array (as we used
to do all along), so iov_iter here is used only as a way of
arranging for those pages to be in pipe.
Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
iov_iter variant for passing data into pipe. copy_to_iter()
copies data into page(s) it has allocated and stuffs them into
the pipe; copy_page_to_iter() stuffs there a reference to the
page given to it. Both will try to coalesce if possible.
iov_iter_zero() is similar to copy_to_iter(); iov_iter_get_pages()
and friends will do as copy_to_iter() would have and return the
pages where the data would've been copied. iov_iter_advance()
will truncate everything past the spot it has advanced to.
New primitive: iov_iter_pipe(), used for initializing those.
pipe should be locked all along.
Running out of space acts as fault would for iovec-backed ones;
in other words, giving it to ->read_iter() may result in short
read if the pipe overflows, or -EFAULT if it happens with nothing
copied there.
In other words, ->read_iter() on those acts pretty much like
->splice_read(). Moreover, all generic_file_splice_read() users,
as well as many other ->splice_read() instances can be switched
to that scheme - that'll happen in the next commit.

When triggering thaw-filesystems via magic sysrq, the system enters a
loop in do_thaw_one(), as thaw_bdev() still returns success if
bd_fsfreeze_count == 0. To fix this, let thaw_bdev() always return
error (and simplify the code a bit at the same time).

single-buffer analogue of splice_to_pipe(); vmsplice_to_pipe() switched

(and that only until they are converted as well).
Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* splice_to_pipe() stops at pipe overflow and does *not* take pipe_lock
* ->splice_read() instances do the same
* vmsplice_to_pipe() and do_splice() (ultimate callers of splice_to_pipe())
arrange for waiting, looping, etc. themselves.
That should make pipe_lock the outermost one.
Unfortunately, existing rules for the amount passed by vmsplice_to_pipe()
and do_splice() are quite ugly _and_ userland code can be easily broken
by changing those. It's not even "no more than the maximal capacity of
this pipe" - it's "once we'd fed pipe->nr_buffers pages into the pipe,
leave instead of waiting".
Considering how poorly these rules are documented, let's try "wait for some
space to appear, unless given SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK, then push into pipe
and if we run into overflow, we are done".
