<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

When using FAT on a block device which supports rw_page, we can hit
BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page)) in try_to_free_buffers().  This is because we
call clean_buffers() after unlocking the page we've written.  Introduce
a new clean_page_buffers() which cleans all buffers associated with a
page and call it from within bdev_write_page().

<title>buffer: set errors in mapping at the time that the error occurs</title>

I noticed on xfs that I could still sometimes get back an error on fsync
on a fd that was opened after the error condition had been cleared.

The problem is that the buffer code sets the write_io_error flag and
then later checks that flag to set the error in the mapping. That flag
perisists for quite a while however. If the file is later opened with
O_TRUNC, the buffers will then be invalidated and the mapping's error
set such that a subsequent fsync will return error. I think this is
incorrect, as there was no writeback between the open and fsync.

Add a new mark_buffer_write_io_error operation that sets the flag and
the error in the mapping at the same time. Replace all calls to
set_buffer_write_io_error with mark_buffer_write_io_error, and remove
the places that check this flag in order to set the error in the
mapping.

This sets the error in the mapping earlier, at the time that it's first
detected.

Both ext4 and xfs implement seeking for the next hole or piece of data
in unwritten extents by scanning the page cache, and both versions share
the same bug when iterating the buffers of a page: the start offset into
the page isn't taken into account, so when a page fits more than two
filesystem blocks, things will go wrong.  For example, on a filesystem
with a block size of 1k, the following command will fail:

  xfs_io -f -c "falloc 0 4k" \
            -c "pwrite 1k 1k" \
            -c "pwrite 3k 1k" \
            -c "seek -a -r 0" foo

In this example, neither lseek(fd, 1024, SEEK_HOLE) nor lseek(fd, 2048,
SEEK_DATA) will return the correct result.

Introduce a generic vfs helper for seeking in the page cache that gets
this right.  The next commits will replace the filesystem specific
implementations.

_submit_bh() allowed submitting a buffer_head for I/O using custom
bio_flags.  It used to be used by jbd to set BIO_SNAP_STABLE, introduced
by commit 713685111774 ("mm: make snapshotting pages for stable writes a
per-bio operation").  However, the code and flag has since been removed
and no _submit_bh() users remain.

These days, bio_flags are mostly used internally by the block layer to
track the state of bio's.  As such, it doesn't really make sense for
filesystems to use them instead of op_flags when wanting special
behavior for block requests.

Therefore, remove _submit_bh() and trim the bio_flags argument from
submit_bh_wbc().

<title>mm: avoid returning VM_FAULT_RETRY from -&gt;page_mkwrite handlers</title>

<content type='text'>
Some -&gt;page_mkwrite handlers may return VM_FAULT_RETRY as its return
code (GFS2 or Lustre can definitely do this).  However VM_FAULT_RETRY
from -&gt;page_mkwrite is completely unhandled by the mm code and results
in locking and writeably mapping the page which definitely is not what
the caller wanted.

Fix Lustre and block_page_mkwrite_ret() used by other filesystems
(notably GFS2) to return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE instead which results in
bailing out from the fault code, the CPU then retries the access, and we
fault again effectively doing what the handler wanted.
