74ec1e1269 nfsd: fix /proc/net/rpc/nfsd.export/content display
Note with "first" always 0, and "lastflags" initially 0, we always dump
a spurious set of 0 flags at the start, among other problems.

Fix.  And attempt to make the code a little more obvious.

The git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux.git nfsd-next branch doesn't
compile when nfsd is a module with the following error:

   ERROR: "get_task_comm" [fs/nfsd/nfsd.ko] undefined!

Replace the get_task_comm call with direct comm access, which is

839049a873 nfsd/idmap: drop special request deferal in favour of improved default.
The idmap code manages request deferal by waiting for a reply from
userspace rather than putting the NFS request on a queue to be retried
from the start.
Now that the common deferal code does this there is no need for the

1ebede86b8 sunrpc: close connection when a request is irretrievably lost.
If we drop a request in the sunrpc layer, either due kmalloc failure,
or due to a cache miss when we could not queue the request for later
replay, then close the connection to encourage the client to retry sooner.

Note that if the drop happens in the NFS layer, NFSERR_JUKEBOX
(aka NFS4ERR_DELAY) is returned to guide the client concerning
replay.

0649752458 nfsd4: fix hang on fast-booting nfs servers
The last_close field of a cache_detail is initialized to zero, so the
condition

	detail->last_close < seconds_since_boot() - 30

may be false even for a cache that was never opened.

However, we want to immediately fail upcalls to caches that were never
opened: in the case of the auth_unix_gid cache, especially, which may
never be opened by mountd (if the --manage-gids option is not set), we
want to fail the upcall immediately.  Otherwise client requests will be
dropped unnecessarily on reboot.

Also document these conditions.

827e345702 SUNRPC: Fix the NFSv4 and RPCSEC_GSS Kconfig dependencies
The NFSv4 client's callback server calls svc_gss_principal(), which
is defined in the auth_rpcgss.ko

The NFSv4 server has the same dependency, and in addition calls
svcauth_gss_flavor(), gss_mech_get_by_pseudoflavor(),
gss_pseudoflavor_to_service() and gss_mech_put() from the same module.

The module auth_rpcgss itself has no dependencies aside from sunrpc,
so we only need to select RPCSEC_GSS.

fbf3fdd244 statfs() gives ESTALE error
Hi,

An NFS client executes a statfs("file", &buff) call.
"file" exists / existed, the client has read / written it,
but it has already closed it.

user_path(pathname, &path) looks up "file" successfully in the
directory-cache  and restarts the aging timer of the directory-entry.
Even if "file" has already been removed from the server, because the
lookupcache=positive option I use, keeps the entries valid for a while.

nfs_statfs() returns ESTALE if "file" has already been removed from the
server.

If the user application repeats the statfs("file", &buff) call, we
are stuck: "file" remains young forever in the directory-cache.

really be "out of sync with lock manager" when the local locking

5a67657a2e SUNRPC: Fix race corrupting rpc upcall
If rpc_queue_upcall() adds a new upcall to the rpci->pipe list just
after rpc_pipe_release calls rpc_purge_list(), but before it calls
gss_pipe_release (as rpci->ops->release_pipe(inode)), then the latter
will free a message without deleting it from the rpci->pipe list.

We will be left with a freed object on the rpc->pipe list.  Most
frequent symptoms are kernel crashes in rpc.gssd system calls on the
pipe in question.

f2d47d02fd Fix null dereference in call_allocate
In call_allocate we need to reach the auth in order to factor au_cslack
into the allocation.

As of a17c2153d2 "SUNRPC: Move the bound
cred to struct rpc_rqst", call_allocate attempts to do this by
dereferencing tk_client->cl_auth, however this is not guaranteed to be
defined--cl_auth can be zero in the case of gss context destruction (see
rpc_free_auth).

Reorder the client state machine to bind credentials before allocating,
so that we can instead reach the auth through the cred.

6715045ddc PM / Hibernate: Avoid hitting OOM during preallocation of memory
There is a problem in hibernate_preallocate_memory() that it calls
preallocate_image_memory() with an argument that may be greater than
the total number of available non-highmem memory pages.  If that's
the case, the OOM condition is guaranteed to trigger, which in turn
can cause significant slowdown to occur during hibernation.

To avoid that, make preallocate_image_memory() adjust its argument
before calling preallocate_image_pages(), so that the total number of
saveable non-highem pages left is not less than the minimum size of
a hibernation image.  Change hibernate_preallocate_memory() to try to
allocate from highmem if the number of pages allocated by
preallocate_image_memory() is too low.

Modify free_unnecessary_pages() to take all possible memory
allocation patterns into account.

51749e47e1 xfs: log IO completion workqueue is a high priority queue
The workqueue implementation in 2.6.36-rcX has changed, resulting
in the workqueues no longer having dedicated threads for work
processing. This has caused severe livelocks under heavy parallel
create workloads because the log IO completions have been getting
held up behind metadata IO completions.  Hence log commits would
stall, memory allocation would stall because pages could not be
cleaned, and lock contention on the AIL during inode IO completion
processing was being seen to slow everything down even further.

By making the log Io completion workqueue a high priority workqueue,
they are queued ahead of all data/metadata IO completions and
processed before the data/metadata completions. Hence the log never
gets stalled, and operations needed to clean memory can continue as
quickly as possible. This avoids the livelock conditions and allos
the system to keep running under heavy load as per normal.

9aea5a65aa execve: make responsive to SIGKILL with large arguments
An execve with a very large total of argument/environment strings
can take a really long time in the execve system call.  It runs
uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings.  This change
makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL.

Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for
SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending().  It would be perfectly
correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in
execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending().
We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible
consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that
an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.

7993bc1f46 execve: improve interactivity with large arguments
This adds a preemption point during the copying of the argument and
environment strings for execve, in copy_strings().  There is already
a preemption point in the count() loop, so this doesn't add any new
points in the abstract sense.

When the total argument+environment strings are very large, the time
spent copying them can be much more than a normal user time slice.
So this change improves the interactivity of the rest of the system
when one process is doing an execve with very large arguments.

1b528181b2 setup_arg_pages: diagnose excessive argument size
The CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN variant of setup_arg_pages() does not
check the size of the argument/environment area on the stack.
When it is unworkably large, shift_arg_pages() hits its BUG_ON.
This is exploitable with a very large RLIMIT_STACK limit, to
create a crash pretty easily.

Check that the initial stack is not too large to make it possible
to map in any executable.  We're not checking that the actual
executable (or intepreter, for binfmt_elf) will fit.  So those
mappings might clobber part of the initial stack mapping.  But
that is just userland lossage that userland made happen, not a
kernel problem.

3d96406c7d KEYS: Fix bug in keyctl_session_to_parent() if parent has no session keyring
Fix a bug in keyctl_session_to_parent() whereby it tries to check the ownership
of the parent process's session keyring whether or not the parent has a session
keyring [CVE-2010-2960].

This results in the following oops:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000a0
  IP: [<ffffffff811ae4dd>] keyctl_session_to_parent+0x251/0x443
  ...
  Call Trace:
   [<ffffffff811ae2f3>] ? keyctl_session_to_parent+0x67/0x443
   [<ffffffff8109d286>] ? __do_fault+0x24b/0x3d0
   [<ffffffff811af98c>] sys_keyctl+0xb4/0xb8
   [<ffffffff81001eab>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

if the parent process has no session keyring.

If the system is using pam_keyinit then it mostly protected against this as all
processes derived from a login will have inherited the session keyring created
by pam_keyinit during the log in procedure.

To test this, pam_keyinit calls need to be commented out in /etc/pam.d/.

9d1ac65a96 KEYS: Fix RCU no-lock warning in keyctl_session_to_parent()
There's an protected access to the parent process's credentials in the middle
of keyctl_session_to_parent().  This results in the following RCU warning:

  ===================================================
  [ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
  ---------------------------------------------------
  security/keys/keyctl.c:1291 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!

  other info that might help us debug this:

  rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
  1 lock held by keyctl-session-/2137:
   #0:  (tasklist_lock){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff811ae2ec>] keyctl_session_to_parent+0x60/0x236

  stack backtrace:
  Pid: 2137, comm: keyctl-session- Not tainted 2.6.36-rc2-cachefs+ #1

The code should take the RCU read lock to make sure the parents credentials
don't go away, even though it's holding a spinlock and has IRQ disabled.
