Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o: "Fix a number of bugs, most notably a potential stale data exposure after a crash and a potential BUG_ON crash if a file has the data journalling flag enabled while it has dirty delayed allocation blocks that haven't been written yet. Also fix a potential crash in the new project quota code and a maliciously corrupted file system. In addition, fix some DAX-specific bugs, including when there is a transient ENOSPC situation and races between writes via direct I/O and an mmap'ed segment that could lead to lost I/O. Finally the usual set of miscellaneous cleanups" * tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4: (23 commits) ext4: pre-zero allocated blocks for DAX IO ext4: refactor direct IO code ext4: fix race in transient ENOSPC detection ext4: handle transient ENOSPC properly for DAX dax: call get_blocks() with create == 1 for write faults to unwritten extents ext4: remove unmeetable inconsisteny check from ext4_find_extent() jbd2: remove excess descriptions for handle_s ext4: remove unnecessary bio get/put ext4: silence UBSAN in ext4_mb_init() ext4: address UBSAN warning in mb_find_order_for_block() ext4: fix oops on corrupted filesystem ext4: fix check of dqget() return value in ext4_ioctl_setproject() ext4: clean up error handling when orphan list is corrupted ext4: fix hang when processing corrupted orphaned inode list ext4: remove trailing \n from ext4_warning/ext4_error calls ext4: fix races between changing inode journal mode and ext4_writepages ext4: handle unwritten or delalloc buffers before enabling data journaling ext4: fix jbd2 handle extension in ext4_ext_truncate_extend_restart() ext4: do not ask jbd2 to write data for delalloc buffers jbd2: add support for avoiding data writes during transaction commits ...

Pull support for killable rwsems from Ingo Molnar: "This, by Michal Hocko, implements down_write_killable(). The main usecase will be to update mm_sem usage sites to use this new API, to allow the mm-reaper introduced in commit aac453635549 ("mm, oom: introduce oom reaper") to tear down oom victim address spaces asynchronously with minimum latencies and without deadlock worries" [ The vfs will want it too as the inode lock is changed from a mutex to a rwsem due to the parallel lookup and readdir updates ] * 'locking-rwsem-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: locking/rwsem: Fix comment on register clobbering locking/rwsem: Fix down_write_killable() locking/rwsem, x86: Add frame annotation for call_rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() locking/rwsem: Provide down_write_killable() locking/rwsem, x86: Provide __down_write_killable() locking/rwsem, s390: Provide __down_write_killable() locking/rwsem, ia64: Provide __down_write_killable() locking/rwsem, alpha: Provide __down_write_killable() locking/rwsem: Introduce basis for down_write_killable() locking/rwsem, sparc: Drop superfluous arch specific implementation locking/rwsem, sh: Drop superfluous arch specific implementation locking/rwsem, xtensa: Drop superfluous arch specific implementation locking/rwsem: Drop explicit memory barriers locking/rwsem: Get rid of __down_write_nested()

locking/rwsem: Fix down_write_killable()

2016-05-15T20:55:00Z

The new signal_pending exit path in __rwsem_down_write_failed_common() was fingered as breaking his kernel by Tetsuo Handa. Upon inspection it was found that there are two things wrong with it; - it forgets to remove WAITING_BIAS if it leaves the list empty, or - it forgets to wake further waiters that were blocked on the now removed waiter. Especially the first issue causes new lock attempts to block and stall indefinitely, as the code assumes that pending waiters mean there is an owner that will wake when it releases the lock.

locking/pvqspinlock: Robustify init_qspinlock_stat()

2016-05-05T07:58:51Z

Specifically around the debugfs file creation calls, I have no idea if they could ever possibly fail, but this is core code (debug aside) so lets at least check the return value and inform anything fishy.

locking/lockdep, sched/core: Implement a better lock pinning scheme

2016-05-05T07:23:59Z

The problem with the existing lock pinning is that each pin is of value 1; this mean you can simply unpin if you know its pinned, without having any extra information. This scheme generates a random (16 bit) cookie for each pin and requires this same cookie to unpin. This means you have to keep the cookie in context. No objsize difference for !LOCKDEP kernels.
