80cdc6dae7 fs: use appropriate printk priority levels
printk()s without a priority level default to KERN_WARNING.  To reduce
noise at KERN_WARNING, this patch set the priority level appriopriately
for unleveled printks()s.  This should be useful to folks that look at
dmesg warnings closely.

4031a219d8 smaps: have smaps show transparent huge pages
Now that the mere act of _looking_ at /proc/$pid/smaps will not destroy
transparent huge pages, tell how much of the VMA is actually mapped with
them.

This way, we can make sure that we're getting THPs where we
expect to see them.

22e057c592 smaps: teach smaps_pte_range() about THP pmds
This adds code to explicitly detect and handle pmd_trans_huge() pmds.  It
then passes HPAGE_SIZE units in to the smap_pte_entry() function instead
of PAGE_SIZE.

This means that using /proc/$pid/smaps now will no longer cause THPs to be
broken down in to small pages.

3c9acc7849 smaps: pass pte size argument in to smaps_pte_entry()
Add an argument to the new smaps_pte_entry() function to let it account in
things other than PAGE_SIZE units.  I changed all of the PAGE_SIZE sites,
even though not all of them can be reached for transparent huge pages,
just so this will continue to work without changes as THPs are improved.

033193275b pagewalk: only split huge pages when necessary
Right now, if a mm_walk has either ->pte_entry or ->pmd_entry set, it will
unconditionally split any transparent huge pages it runs in to.  In
practice, that means that anyone doing a

	cat /proc/$pid/smaps

will unconditionally break down every huge page in the process and depend
on khugepaged to re-collapse it later.  This is fairly suboptimal.

This patch changes that behavior.  It teaches each ->pmd_entry handler
(there are five) that they must break down the THPs themselves.  Also, the
_generic_ code will never break down a THP unless a ->pte_entry handler is
actually set.

This means that the ->pmd_entry handlers can now choose to deal with THPs
without breaking them down.

ef6a3c6311 mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function
This function basically does:

     remove_from_page_cache(old);
     page_cache_release(old);
     add_to_page_cache_locked(new);

Except it does this atomically, so there's no possibility for the "add" to
fail because of a race.

If memory cgroups are enabled, then the memory cgroup charge is also moved
from the old page to the new.

This function is currently used by fuse to move pages into the page cache
on read, instead of copying the page contents.

69b195be51 bfs: fix bitmap size argument to find_first_zero_bit()
The usage of find_first_zero_bit() in bfs_create() is wrong for two
reasons.

The bitmap size argument to find_first_zero_bit() is info->si_lasti but
the correct bitmap size is info->si_lasti + 1 as info->si_lasti is the
last valid index in info->si_imap bitmap.

Another problem is that it is impossible to detect that info->si_imap
bitmap is full because there is an off-by-one bug in the return value
check for find_first_zero_bit().  If no zero bits exist in info->si_imap,
find_first_zero_bit() returns info->si_lasti.  But the check can't catch
it due to the off-by-one.

b7ed78f565 introduce sys_syncfs to sync a single file system
It is frequently useful to sync a single file system, instead of all
mounted file systems via sync(2):

 - On machines with many mounts, it is not at all uncommon for some of
   them to hang (e.g. unresponsive NFS server).  sync(2) will get stuck on
   those and may never get to the one you do care about (e.g., /).
 - Some applications write lots of data to the file system and then
   want to make sure it is flushed to disk.  Calling fsync(2) on each
   file introduces unnecessary ordering constraints that result in a large
   amount of sub-optimal writeback/flush/commit behavior by the file
   system.

There are currently two ways (that I know of) to sync a single super_block:

 - BLKFLSBUF ioctl on the block device: That also invalidates the bdev
   mapping, which isn't usually desirable, and doesn't work for non-block
   file systems.
 - 'mount -o remount,rw' will call sync_filesystem as an artifact of the
   current implemention.  Relying on this little-known side effect for
   something like data safety sounds foolish.

Both of these approaches require root privileges, which some applications
do not have (nor should they need?) given that sync(2) is an unprivileged
operation.

This patch introduces a new system call syncfs(2) that takes an fd and
syncs only the file system it references.  Maybe someday we can

 $ sync /some/path

and not get

 sync: ignoring all arguments

The syscall is motivated by comments by Al and Christoph at the last LSF.
syncfs(2) seems like an appropriate name given statfs(2).

A similar ioctl was also proposed a while back, see

Hi,

I was backporting the coredump over pipe feature and noticed this small typo,
I wish I would have something bigger to contribute...

27a4f7e61e vfs: cleanup do_vfs_ioctl()
Move declaration of 'inode' to beginning of the function. Since it
is referenced directly or indirectly (in case of FIFREEZE/FITHAW/
FS_IOC_FIEMAP) it's not harmful IMHO. And remove unnecessary casts
using 'argp' instead.

24ff6663cc fs: call security_d_instantiate in d_obtain_alias V2
While trying to track down some NFS problems with BTRFS, I kept noticing I was
getting -EACCESS for no apparent reason.  Eric Paris and printk() helped me
figure out that it was SELinux that was giving me grief, with the following
denial

type=AVC msg=audit(1290013638.413:95): avc:  denied  { 0x800000 } for  pid=1772
comm="nfsd" name="" dev=sda1 ino=256 scontext=system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file

Turns out this is because in d_obtain_alias if we can't find an alias we create
one and do all the normal instantiation stuff, but we don't do the
security_d_instantiate.

Usually we are protected from getting a hashed dentry that hasn't yet run
security_d_instantiate() by the parent's i_mutex, but obviously this isn't an
option there, so in order to deal with the case that a second thread comes in
and finds our new dentry before we get to run security_d_instantiate(), we go
ahead and call it if we find a dentry already.  Eric assures me that this is ok
as the code checks to see if the dentry has been initialized already so calling
security_d_instantiate() against the same dentry multiple times is ok.  With
this patch I'm no longer getting errant -EACCESS values.
