With this support kernel can save function call chain log into a

For function tracing we need to stop using pstore.buf directly, since
in a tracing callback we can't use spinlocks, and thus we can't safely
use the global buffer.
With write_buf callback, backends no longer need to access pstore.buf
directly, and thus we can pass any buffers (e.g. allocated on stack).

When we change the namespace tag of a sysfs entry, the associated dentry
is still kept around. readdir() will work correctly and not display the
old entries, but open() will still succeed, so will reads and writes.
This will no longer happen if sysfs is remounted, hinting that this is a
cache-related problem.
I am using the following sequence to demonstrate that:
shell1:
ip link add type veth
unshare -nm
shell2:
ip link set veth1 <pid_of_shell_1>
cat /sys/devices/virtual/net/veth1/ifindex
Before that patch, this will succeed (fail to fail). After it, it will
correctly return an error. Differently from a normal rename, which we
handle fine, changing the object namespace will keep it's path intact.

Each task would kmap part of its address array before getting stuck, but
not enough to actually issue the write.
This patch fixes this by serializing the marshal_iov operations for
async reads and writes. The idea here is to ensure that cifs
aggressively tries to populate a request before attempting to fulfill
another one. As soon as all of the pages are kmapped for a request, then
we can unlock and allow another one to proceed.
There's no need to do this serialization on non-CONFIG_HIGHMEM arches
however, so optimize all of this out when CONFIG_HIGHMEM isn't set.

We currently rely on being able to kmap all of the pages in an async
read or write request. If you're on a machine that has CONFIG_HIGHMEM
set then that kmap space is limited, sometimes to as low as 512 slots.
With 512 slots, we can only support up to a 2M r/wsize, and that's
assuming that we can get our greedy little hands on all of them. There
are other users however, so it's possible we'll end up stuck with a
size that large.
Since we can't handle a rsize or wsize larger than that currently, cap
those options at the number of kmap slots we have. We could consider
capping it even lower, but we currently default to a max of 1M. Might as
well allow those luddites on 32 bit arches enough rope to hang
themselves.
A more robust fix would be to teach the send and receive routines how
to contend with an array of pages so we don't need to marshal up a kvec
array at all. That's a fairly significant overhaul though, so we'll need
this limit in place until that's ready.

I don't know exactly how, but in some cases, a dir
record is not removed, or a new one is created when
it shouldn't be. The result is that the dir node
lookup returns a master node where the rsb does not
exist. In this case, The master node will repeatedly
return -EBADR for requests, and the lock requests will
be stuck.
Until all possible ways for this to happen can be
eliminated, a simple and effective way to recover from
this situation is for the supposed master node to send

receives a request for a resource it has no rsb for.

For NFSv4 minor version 0, currently the cl_id_uniquifier allows the
Linux client to generate a unique nfs_client_id4 string whenever a
server replies with NFS4ERR_CLID_INUSE.
This implementation seems to be based on a flawed reading of RFC
3530. NFS4ERR_CLID_INUSE actually means that the client has presented
this nfs_client_id4 string with a different principal at some time in
the past, and that lease is still in use on the server.
For a Linux client this might be rather difficult to achieve: the
authentication flavor is named right in the nfs_client_id4.id
string. If we change flavors, we change strings automatically.
So, practically speaking, NFS4ERR_CLID_INUSE means there is some other
client using our string. There is not much that can be done to
recover automatically. Let's make it a permanent error.
Remove the recovery logic in nfs4_proc_setclientid(), and remove the
cl_id_uniquifier field from the nfs_client data structure. And,
remove the authentication flavor from the nfs_client_id4 string.
Keeping the authentication flavor in the nfs_client_id4.id string
means that we could have a separate lease for each authentication
flavor used by mounts on the client. But we want just one lease for
all the mounts on this client.

The gss_mech_list_pseudoflavors() function provides a list of
currently registered GSS pseudoflavors. This list does not include
any non-GSS flavors that have been registered with the RPC client.
nfs4_find_root_sec() currently adds these extra flavors by hand.
Instead, nfs4_find_root_sec() should be looking at the set of flavors
that have been explicitly registered via rpcauth_register(). And,
other areas of code will soon need the same kind of list that
contains all flavors the kernel currently knows about (see below).
Rather than cloning the open-coded logic in nfs4_find_root_sec() to
those new places, introduce a generic RPC function that generates a
full list of registered auth flavors and pseudoflavors.
A new rpc_authops method is added that lists a flavor's
pseudoflavors, if it has any. I encountered an interesting module
loader loop when I tried to get the RPC client to invoke
gss_mech_list_pseudoflavors() by name.
This patch is a pre-requisite for server trunking discovery, and a
pre-requisite for fixing up the in-kernel mount client to do better
automatic security flavor selection.

The "state->flags & flags" test in nfs41_check_expired_stateid()
allows the state manager to squelch a TEST_STATEID operation when
it is known for sure that a state ID is no longer valid. If the
lease was purged, for example, the client already knows that state
ID is now defunct.
But open recovery is still needed for that inode.
To force a call to nfs4_open_expired(), change the default return
value for nfs41_check_expired_stateid() to force open recovery, and
the default return value for nfs41_check_locks() to force lock
recovery, if the requested flags are clear. Fix suggested by Bryan
Schumaker.
Also, the presence of a delegation state ID must not prevent normal
open recovery. The delegation state ID must be cleared if it was
revoked, but once cleared I don't think it's presence or absence has
any bearing on whether open recovery is still needed. So the logic
is adjusted to ignore the TEST_STATEID result for the delegation
state ID.

The result of a TEST_STATEID operation can indicate a few different
things:
o If NFS_OK is returned, then the client can continue using the
state ID under test, and skip recovery.
o RFC 5661 says that if the state ID was revoked, then the client
must perform an explicit FREE_STATEID before trying to re-open.
o If the server doesn't recognize the state ID at all, then no
FREE_STATEID is needed, and the client can immediately continue
with open recovery.
Let's err on the side of caution: if the server clearly tells us the
state ID is unknown, we skip the FREE_STATEID. For any other error,
we issue a FREE_STATEID. Sometimes that FREE_STATEID will be
unnecessary, but leaving unused state IDs on the server needlessly
ties up resources.

The TEST_STATEID and FREE_STATEID operations can return
-NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID, -NFS4ERR_OLD_STATEID, or -NFS4ERR_DEADSESSION.
nfs41_{test,free}_stateid() should not pass these errors to
nfs4_handle_exception() during state recovery, since that will
recursively kick off state recovery again, resulting in a deadlock.
In particular, when the TEST_STATEID operation returns NFS4_OK,
res.status can contain one of these errors. _nfs41_test_stateid()
replaces NFS4_OK with the value in res.status, which is then returned
to callers.
But res.status is not passed through nfs4_stat_to_errno(), and thus is
a positive NFS4ERR value. Currently callers are only interested in
!NFS4_OK, and nfs4_handle_exception() ignores positive values.
Thus the res.status values are currently ignored by
nfs4_handle_exception() and won't cause the deadlock above. Thanks to
this missing negative, it is only when these operations fail (which
is very rare) that a deadlock can occur.
Bryan agrees the original intent was to return res.status as a
negative NFS4ERR value to callers of nfs41_test_stateid().

If a parent and child process open the two ends of a fifo, and the
child immediately exits, the parent may receive a SIGCHLD before its
open() returns. In that case, we need to make sure that open() will
return successfully after the SIGCHLD handler returns, instead of
throwing EINTR or being restarted. Otherwise, the restarted open()
would incorrectly wait for a second partner on the other end.
The following test demonstrates the EINTR that was wrongly thrown from
the parent’s open(). Change .sa_flags = 0 to .sa_flags = SA_RESTART
to see a deadlock instead, in which the restarted open() waits for a
second reader that will never come. (On my systems, this happens
pretty reliably within about 5 to 500 iterations. Others report that
it manages to loop ~forever sometimes; YMMV.)

Add a helper that abstracts out the jump to an already parsed struct path

it also prepares for making struct nameidata private to namei.c
