2016-12-16ovl: redirect on rename-dirMiklos Szeredi
Current code returns EXDEV when a directory would need to be copied up to move. We could copy up the directory tree in this case, but there's another, simpler solution: point to old lower directory from moved upper directory. This is achieved with a "trusted.overlay.redirect" xattr storing the path relative to the root of the overlay. After such attribute has been set, the directory can be moved without further actions required. This is a backward incompatible feature, old kernels won't be able to correctly mount an overlay containing redirected directories. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

2016-12-14mm: join struct fault_env and vm_faultJan Kara
Currently we have two different structures for passing fault information around - struct vm_fault and struct fault_env. DAX will need more information in struct vm_fault to handle its faults so the content of that structure would become event closer to fault_env. Furthermore it would need to generate struct fault_env to be able to call some of the generic functions. So at this point I don't think there's much use in keeping these two structures separate. Just embed into struct vm_fault all that is needed to use it for both purposes.

2016-12-01fs: configfs: don't return anything from drop_linkAndrzej Pietrasiewicz
Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt says: "When unlink(2) is called on the symbolic link, the source item is notified via the ->drop_link() method. Like the ->drop_item() method, this is a void function and cannot return failure." The ->drop_item() is indeed a void function, the ->drop_link() is actually not. This, together with the fact that the value of ->drop_link() is silently ignored suggests, that it is the ->drop_link() return type that should be corrected and changed to void. This patch changes drop_link() signature and all its users.

2016-11-21PCI: Create revision file in sysfsEmil Velikov
Currently the revision isn't available via sysfs/libudev thus if one wants to know the value one needs to read through the config file, which can be quite time-consuming because it wakes/powers up the device. There are at least two userspace components which could make use the new file: libpciaccess and libdrm. The former wakes up _every_ PCI device, which can be observed via glxinfo when using Mesa 10.0+ drivers. The latter, in association with Mesa 13.0, can lead to 2-3 second delays while starting firefox, thunderbird or chromium.

2016-10-20fs/proc: Stop trying to report thread stacksAndy Lutomirski
This reverts more of: b76437579d13 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps") ... which was partially reverted by: 65376df58217 ("proc: revert /proc/<pid>/maps [stack:TID] annotation") Originally, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps was the same as /proc/TID/maps. In current kernels, /proc/PID/maps (or /proc/TID/maps even for threads) shows "[stack]" for VMAs in the mm's stack address range. In contrast, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps uses KSTK_ESP to guess the target thread's stack's VMA. This is racy, probably returns garbage and, on arches with CONFIG_TASK_INFO_IN_THREAD=y, is also crash-prone: KSTK_ESP is not safe to use on tasks that aren't known to be running ordinary process-context kernel code. This patch removes the difference and just shows "[stack]" for VMAs in the mm's stack range. This is IMO much more sensible -- the actual "stack" address really is treated specially by the VM code, and the current thread stack isn't even well-defined for programs that frequently switch stacks on their own.

2016-10-07xattr: Stop calling {get,set,remove}xattr inode operationsAndreas Gruenbacher
All filesystems that support xattrs by now do so via xattr handlers. They all define sb->s_xattr, and their getxattr, setxattr, and removexattr inode operations use the generic inode operations. On filesystems that don't support xattrs, the xattr inode operations are all NULL, and sb->s_xattr is also NULL. This means that we can remove the getxattr, setxattr, and removexattr inode operations and directly call the generic handlers, or better, inline expand those handlers into fs/xattr.c. Filesystems that do not support xattrs on some inodes should clear the IOP_XATTR i_opflags flag in those inodes. (Right now, some filesystems have checks to disable xattrs on some inodes in the ->list, ->get, and ->set xattr handler operations instead.) The IOP_XATTR flag is automatically cleared in inodes of filesystems that don't have xattr support. In orangefs, symlinks do have a setxattr iop but no getxattr iop. Add a check for symlinks to orangefs_inode_getxattr to preserve the current, weird behavior; that check may not be necessary though.

The other main chunk of code is some preparation for the upcoming reflink functionality. Most of it is generic and cleanups that stand alone, but they were ready and reviewed so are in this pull request. Speaking of reflink, I'm currently planning to send you another pull request next week containing all the new reflink functionality. I'm working through a similar process to the last cycle, where I sent the reverse mapping code in a separate request because of how large it was. The reflink code merge is even bigger than reverse mapping, so I'll be doing the same thing again....

Here we have a number of fixes and, importantly, a proper PDF output solution, thanks to Jani Nikula, Mauro Carvalho Chehab and Markus Heiser. I've started a couple of new books: a driver API book (based on the old device-drivers.tmpl) and a development tools book. Both are meant to show how we can integrate together our existing documentation into a more coherent and accessible whole. It involves moving some stuff around and formatting changes, but, I think, the results are worth it. The good news is that most of our existing Documentation/*.txt files are *almost* in RST format already; the amount of messing around required is minimal.
