The

posix_acl: Inode acl caching fixes

When get_acl() is called for an inode whose ACL is not cached yet, the
get_acl inode operation is called to fetch the ACL from the filesystem.
The inode operation is responsible for updating the cached acl with
set_cached_acl(). This is done without locking at the VFS level, so
another task can call set_cached_acl() or forget_cached_acl() before the
get_acl inode operation gets to calling set_cached_acl(), and then
get_acl's call to set_cached_acl() results in caching an outdate ACL.

Prevent this from happening by setting the cached ACL pointer to a
task-specific sentinel value before calling the get_acl inode operation.
Move the responsibility for updating the cached ACL from the get_acl
inode operations to get_acl(). There, only set the cached ACL if the
sentinel value hasn't changed.

The sentinel values are chosen to have odd values. Likewise, the value
of ACL_NOT_CACHED is odd. In contrast, ACL object pointers always have
an even value (ACLs are aligned in memory). This allows to distinguish
uncached ACLs values from ACL objects.

In addition, switch from guarding inode->i_acl and inode->i_default_acl
upates by the inode->i_lock spinlock to using xchg() and cmpxchg().

Filesystems that do not want ACLs returned from their get_acl inode
operations to be cached must call forget_cached_acl() to prevent the VFS
from doing so.

Change the list operation to only return whether or not an attribute

Since the result only depends on the dentry and not on the attribute
name, we do not pass the attribute name to list operations.

Add an additional "name" field to struct xattr_handler. When the name

xattr handlers: Pass handler to operations instead of flags

The xattr_handler operations are currently all passed a file system
specific flags value which the operations can use to disambiguate between
different handlers; some file systems use that to distinguish the xattr
namespace, for example. In some oprations, it would be useful to also have
access to the handler prefix. To allow that, pass a pointer to the handler
to operations instead of the flags value alone.

vfs: Fix the posix_acl_xattr_list return value

When a filesystem that contains POSIX ACLs is mounted without ACL support
(-o noacl), the appropriate behavior is not to list any existing POSIX ACL
xattrs. The return value for list xattr handlers in this case is 0, not an
error code: several filesystems that use the POSIX ACL xattr handlers do
not expect the list operation to fail.

Symlinks cannot have ACLs, so posix_acl_xattr_list will never be called for
symlinks in the first place.

fs/posix_acl.c: make posix_acl_create() safer and cleaner

If posix_acl_create() returns an error code then "*acl" and "*default_acl"
can be uninitialized or point to freed memory. This is a dangerous thing
to do. For example, it causes a problem in ocfs2_reflink():

fs/ocfs2/refcounttree.c:4327 ocfs2_reflink()
error: potentially using uninitialized 'default_acl'.

I've re-written this so we set the pointers to NULL at the start. I've
added a temporary "clone" variable to hold the value of "*acl" until end.
Setting them to NULL means means we don't need the "no_acl" label. We may
as well remove the "apply_umask" stuff forward and remove that label as
well.

VFS: (Scripted) Convert S_ISLNK/DIR/REG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_*(dentry)

Convert the following where appropriate:

(1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry).

VFS: (Scripted) Convert S_ISLNK/DIR/REG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_*(dentry)

Convert the following where appropriate:

(1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry).

(2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry).

(3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry). This is actually more
complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to
d_can_lookup() instead. The difference is whether the directory in
question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with
a ->d_automount op.

In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being
NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects
d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to
use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer).

Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than
DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS
manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer. In such a
case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the
type of the lower dentry.

However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use
the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem.

There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled
DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE. Strictly, this was
intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes.

The following perl+coccinelle script was used:

use strict;

my @callers;
open($fd, 'git grep -l \'S_IS[A-Z].*->d_inode\' |') ||
die "Can't grep for S_ISDIR and co. callers";
@callers = <$fd>;
close($fd);
unless (@callers) {
print "No matches\n";
exit(0);
}

posix_acl: handle NULL ACL in posix_acl_equiv_mode

Various filesystems don't bother checking for a NULL ACL in
posix_acl_equiv_mode, and thus can dereference a NULL pointer when it
gets passed one. This usually happens from the NFS server, as the ACL tools
never pass a NULL ACL, but instead of one representing the mode bits.

Instead of adding boilerplat to all filesystems put this check into one place,
which will allow us to remove the check from other filesystems as well later
on.

Pull GFS2 updates from Steven Whitehouse:
"One of the main highlights this time, is not the patches themselves
but instead the widening contributor base. It is good to see that
interest is increasing in GFS2, and I'd like to thank all the
contributors to this patch set.

In addition to the usual set of bug fixes and clean ups, there are
patches to improve inode creation performance when xattrs are required
and some improvements to the transaction code which is intended to
help improve scalability after further changes in due course.

Journal extent mapping is also updated to make it more efficient and
again, this is a foundation for future work in this area.

The maximum number of ACLs has been increased to 300 (for a 4k block
size) which means that even with a few additional xattrs from selinux,
everything should fit within a single fs block.

There is also a patch to bring GFS2's own copy of the writepages code
up to the same level as the core VFS. Eventually we may be able to
merge some of this code, since it is fairly similar.

The other major change this time, is bringing consistency to the
printing of messages via fs_<level>, pr_<level> macros"
