Pull common SETFLAGS/FSSETXATTR parameter checking from Darrick Wong:
 "Here's a patch series that sets up common parameter checking functions
  for the FS_IOC_SETFLAGS and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl implementations.

  The goal here is to reduce the amount of behaviorial variance between
  the filesystems where those ioctls originated (ext2 and XFS,
  respectively) and everybody else.

   - Standardize parameter checking for the SETFLAGS and FSSETXATTR
     ioctls (which were the file attribute setters for ext4 and xfs and
     have now been hoisted to the vfs)

   - Only allow the DAX flag to be set on files and directories"

* tag 'vfs-fix-ioctl-checking-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux:
  vfs: only allow FSSETXATTR to set DAX flag on files and dirs
  vfs: teach vfs_ioc_fssetxattr_check to check extent size hints
  vfs: teach vfs_ioc_fssetxattr_check to check project id info

<content type='text'>
Convert the efivarfs filesystem to the new internal mount API as the old
one will be obsoleted and removed.  This allows greater flexibility in
communication of mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the
filesystem.

[AV: get rid of efivarfs_sb nonsense - it has never been used]

See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.

<content type='text'>
Create a generic function to check incoming FS_IOC_SETFLAGS flag values
and later prepare the inode for updates so that we can standardize the
implementations that follow ext4's flag values.

Note that the efivarfs implementation no longer fails a no-op SETFLAGS
without CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE since that's the behavior in ext*.

<title>efivarfs: Limit the rate for non-root to read files</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bef3efbeb897b56867e271cdbc5f8adaacaeb9cd</id>
<content type='text'>
Each read from a file in efivarfs results in two calls to EFI
(one to get the file size, another to get the actual data).

On X86 these EFI calls result in broadcast system management
interrupts (SMI) which affect performance of the whole system.
A malicious user can loop performing reads from efivarfs bringing
the system to its knees.

Linus suggested per-user rate limit to solve this.

So we add a ratelimit structure to "user_struct" and initialize
it for the root user for no limit. When allocating user_struct for
other users we set the limit to 100 per second. This could be used
for other places that want to limit the rate of some detrimental
user action.

In efivarfs if the limit is exceeded when reading, we take an
interruptible nap for 50ms and check the rate limit again.

Kill off s_options, save/replace_mount_options() and generic_show_options()
as all filesystems now implement -&gt;show_options() for themselves.  This
should make it easier to implement a context-based mount where the mount
options can be passed individually over a file descriptor.
