it's not needed anymore; we used to, back when we had to do mount_subtree() by hand, complete with put_mnt_ns() in it. No more... Apparmor didn't need it since the __d_path() fix. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

tomoyo/realpath.c needs exactly one include - that of common.h. It pulls everything the thing needs, without doing ridiculous garbage such as trying to include ../../fs/internal.h. If that alone doesn't scream "layering violation", I don't know what does; and these days it's all for nothing, since it fortunately does not use any symbols defined in there...

a) mount --move is checking that ->mnt_parent is non-NULL before looking if that parent happens to be shared; ->mnt_parent is never NULL and it's not even an misspelled !mnt_has_parent() b) pivot_root open-codes is_path_reachable(), poorly. c) so does path_is_under(), while we are at it.

vfsmounts have ->mnt_parent pointing either to a different vfsmount or to itself; it's never NULL and termination condition in loops traversing the tree towards root is mnt == mnt->mnt_parent. At least one place (see the next patch) is confused about what's going on; let's add an explicit helper checking it right way and use it in all places where we need it. Not that there had been too many, but... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

This reverts commit c0afabd3. It causes failures on Toshiba laptops - instead of disabling the alarm, it actually seems to enable it on the affected laptops, resulting in (for example) the laptop powering on automatically five minutes after shutdown. There's a patch for it that appears to work for at least some people, but it's too late to play around with this, so revert for now and try again in the next merge window.

Commit 1e39f384 ("evm: fix build problems") makes the stub version of security_old_inode_init_security() return 0 when CONFIG_SECURITY is not set. But that makes callers such as reiserfs_security_init() assume that security_old_inode_init_security() has set name, value, and len arguments properly - but security_old_inode_init_security() left them uninitialized which then results in interesting failures. Revert security_old_inode_init_security() to the old behavior of returning EOPNOTSUPP since both callers (reiserfs and ocfs2) handle this just fine. [ Also fixed the S_PRIVATE(inode) case of the actual non-stub security_old_inode_init_security() function to return EOPNOTSUPP for the same reason, as pointed out by Mimi Zohar. It got incorrectly changed to match the new function in commit fb88c2b6: "evm: fix security/security_old_init_security return code". - Linus ] Reported-by: Jorge Bastos <mysql.jorge@decimal.pt> Acked-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Acked-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

It was found (by Sasha) that if you use a futex located in the gate area we get stuck in an uninterruptible infinite loop, much like the ZERO_PAGE issue. While looking at this problem, PeterZ realized you'll get into similar trouble when hitting any install_special_pages() mapping. And are there still drivers setting up their own special mmaps without page->mapping, and without special VM or pte flags to make get_user_pages fail? In most cases, if page->mapping is NULL, we do not need to retry at all: Linus points out that even /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches poses no problem, because it ends up using remove_mapping(), which takes care not to interfere when the page reference count is raised. But there is still one case which does need a retry: if memory pressure called shmem_writepage in between get_user_pages_fast dropping page table lock and our acquiring page lock, then the page gets switched from filecache to swapcache (and ->mapping set to NULL) whatever the refcount. Fault it back in to get the page->mapping needed for key->shared.inode.

The sanity check (timeout < 0) never works; the dividend is unsigned and so is the division, which should have been a signed division. long timeout = (ct->timeout.expires - jiffies) / HZ; if (timeout < 0) timeout = 0; This patch converts the time values to signed for the division.
