git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild
Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek:
- Make <modname>-m in makefiles work like <modname>-y and fix the
fallout
- Minor genksyms fix
- Fix race with make -j install modules_install
- Move -Wsign-compare from make W=1 to W=2
- Other minor fixes
* 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
kbuild: Demote 'sign-compare' warning to W=2
Makefile: revert "Makefile: Document ability to make file.lst and file.S" partially
kbuild: Do not run modules_install and install in paralel
genksyms: Handle string literals with spaces in reference files
fixdep: constify strrcmp arguments
ath10k: Fix build with CONFIG_THERMAL=m
Revert "drm: Hack around CONFIG_AGP=m build failures"
kbuild: Allow to specify composite modules with modname-m
staging/ad7606: Actually build the interface modules

This allows to write
drm-$(CONFIG_AGP) += drm_agpsupport.o
without having to handle CONFIG_AGP=y vs. CONFIG_AGP=m. Only support
this syntax for modules, since built-in code depending on something
modular cannot work and init/Makefile actually relies on the current
semantics. There are a few drivers which adapted to the current
semantics out of necessity; these are fixed to also work when the
respective subsystem is modular.

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
"All kinds of stuff. That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.
Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
of various kinds, several new helpers for ->llseek(), assorted
cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.
One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
lookup_one_len_unlocked(). Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
called without ->i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it. That, of
course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
with that. I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough... I
*am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with ->lookup() done under lock
taken shared.
There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
->i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested(). To quote Linus back then:
-----
| This is an automated patch using
|
| sed 's/mutex_lock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_lock(\1)/'
| sed 's/mutex_unlock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_unlock(\1)/'
| sed 's/mutex_lock_nested(&\(.*\)->i_mutex,[ ]*I_MUTEX_\([A-Z0-9_]*\))/inode_lock_nested(\1, I_MUTEX_\2)/'
| sed 's/mutex_is_locked(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_is_locked(\1)/'
| sed 's/mutex_trylock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_trylock(\1)/'
|
| with a very few manual fixups
-----
I'm going to send that once the ->i_mutex-affecting stuff in -next
gets mostly merged (or when Linus says he's about to stop taking
merges)"

There are few important bug fixes for LogFS
* tag 'for-linus' of git://github.com/prasad-joshi/logfs_upstream:
Logfs: Allow NULL block_isbad() methods
logfs: Grow inode in delete path
logfs: Free areas before calling generic_shutdown_super()
logfs: remove useless BUG_ON
MAINTAINERS: Add Prasad Joshi in LogFS maintiners
logfs: Propagate page parameter to __logfs_write_inode
logfs: set superblock shutdown flag after generic sb shutdown
logfs: take write mutex lock during fsync and sync
logfs: Prevent memory corruption
logfs: update page reference count for pined pages
Fix up conflict in fs/logfs/dev_mtd.c due to semantic change in what
"mtd->block_isbad" means in commit f2933e86ad93: "Logfs: Allow NULL
block_isbad() methods" clashing with the abstraction changes in the
commits 7086c19d0742: "mtd: introduce mtd_block_isbad interface" and
d58b27ed58a3: "logfs: do not use 'mtd->block_isbad' directly".
This resolution takes the semantics from commit f2933e86ad93, and just
makes mtd_block_isbad() return zero (false) if the 'block_isbad'
function is NULL. But that also means that now "mtd_can_have_bb()"
always returns 0.
Now, "mtd_block_markbad()" will obviously return an error if the
low-level driver doesn't support bad blocks, so this is somewhat
non-symmetric, but it actually makes sense if a NULL "block_isbad"
function is considered to mean "I assume that all my blocks are always
good".

During GC LogFS has to rewrite each valid block to a separate segment.
Rewrite operation reads data from an old segment and writes it to a
newly allocated segment. Since every write operation changes data
block pointers maintained in inode, inode should also be rewritten.
In GC path to avoid AB-BA deadlock LogFS marks a page with
PG_pre_locked in addition to locking the page (PG_locked). The page
lock is ignored iff the page is pre-locked.
LogFS uses a special file called segment file. The segment file
maintains an 8 bytes entry for every segment. It keeps track of erase
count, level etc. for every segment.
Bad things happen with a segment belonging to the segment file is GCed

The patch passes locked page to __logfs_write_inode. It calls function
logfs_get_wblocks() to pre-lock the page. This ensures any further
attempts to lock the page are ignored (esp from get_erase_count).

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

The write buffer may not have been written and may no longer be written
due to an interrupted write in the affected page.

It would probably be better to just accept NULL pointers in
mempool_destroy(). But for the current -rc series let's keep things
simple.
This patch was lost in the cracks for a while.
Kevin Cernekee <cernekee@gmail.com> had to rediscover the problem and
send a similar patch because of it. :(

Removing sufficiently large files would create aliases for a large
number of segments. This in turn results in a large number of journal
entries and an overflow of s_je_array.
Cheap fix is to add a BUG_ON, turning memory corruption into something
annoying, but less dangerous. Real fix is to count the number of
affected segments and prevent the problem completely.

do_logfs_journal_wl_pass() must call freeseg(), thereby clear
PagePrivate on all pages of the current journal segment.

This prevents unnecessary journal writes. More importantly it prevents
an oops due to a journal write on failed mount.

Erases for block devices were always just emulated by writing 0xff.
Some time back the write was removed and only the page cache was
changed to 0xff. Superficialy a good idea with two problems:
1. Touching the page cache isn't necessary either.
2. However, writing out 0xff _is_ necessary for the journal. As the
journal is scanned linearly, an old non-overwritten commit entry
can be used on next mount and cause havoc.
This should fix both aspects.
