Currently, native capacity unlocking is initiated only when a
recognized partition extends beyond the end of the disk. However,
there are several other unhandled cases where truncated capacity can
lead to misdetection of partitions.
* Partition table is fully beyond EOD.
* Partition table is partially beyond EOD (daisy chained ones).
* Recognized partition starts beyond EOD.
This patch updates generic partition check code such that all the
above three cases are handled too. For the first two, @state tracks
whether low level partition check code tried to read beyond EOD during
partition scan and triggers native capacity unlocking accordingly.
The third is now handled similarly to the original unlocking case.

ocfs2: Fix quota locking
OCFS2 had three issues with quota locking:
a) When reading dquot from global quota file, we started a transaction while
holding dqio_mutex which is prone to deadlocks because other paths do it
the other way around
b) During ocfs2_sync_dquot we were not protected against concurrent writers
on the same node. Because we first copy data to local buffer, a race
could happen resulting in old data being written to global quota file and
thus causing quota inconsistency after a crash.
c) ip_alloc_sem of quota files was acquired while a transaction is started
in ocfs2_quota_write which can deadlock because we first get ip_alloc_sem
and then start a transaction when extending quota files.
We fix the problem a) by pulling all necessary code to ocfs2_acquire_dquot
and ocfs2_release_dquot. Thus we no longer depend on generic dquot_acquire
to do the locking and can force proper lock ordering.
Problems b) and c) are fixed by locking i_mutex and ip_alloc_sem of
global quota file in ocfs2_lock_global_qf and removing ip_alloc_sem from
ocfs2_quota_read and ocfs2_quota_write.

quota: Refactor dquot_transfer code so that OCFS2 can pass in its references
Currently, __dquot_transfer() acquires its own references of dquot structures
that will be put into inode. But for OCFS2, this creates a lock inversion
between dq_lock (waited on in dqget) and transaction start (started in
ocfs2_setattr). Currently, deadlock is impossible because dq_lock is acquired
only during dquot_acquire and dquot_release and we already hold a reference to
dquot structures in ocfs2_setattr so neither of these functions can be called
while we call dquot_transfer. But this is rather subtle and it is hard to teach
lockdep about it. So provide __dquot_transfer function that can be passed dquot
references directly. OCFS2 can then pass acquired dquot references directly to
__dquot_transfer with proper locking.
Quota must being initialized if size or uid/git changes requested.
But initialization performed in two different places:
in case of i_size file system is responsible for dquot init
, but in case of uid/gid init will be called internally in
dquot_transfer().

without deleting their subdirectories or their contents. Allowing

The problem. When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name. Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*, /sys/devices/virtual/net/*, and
potentially a few other directories of the form /sys/ ... /net/*.
What this patch does is to add an additional tag field to the
sysfs dirent structure. For directories that should show different
contents depending on the context such as /sys/class/net/, and
/sys/devices/virtual/net/ this tag field is used to specify the
context in which those directories should be visible. Effectively
this is the same as creating multiple distinct directories with
the same name but internally to sysfs the result is nicer.
I am calling the concept of a single directory that looks like multiple
directories all at the same path in the filesystem tagged directories.
For the networking namespace the set of directories whose contents I need
to filter with tags can depend on the presence or absence of hotplug
hardware or which modules are currently loaded. Which means I need
a simple race free way to setup those directories as tagged.
To achieve a reace free design all tagged directories are created
and managed by sysfs itself.
Users of this interface:
- define a type in the sysfs_tag_type enumeration.
- call sysfs_register_ns_types with the type and it's operations
- sysfs_exit_ns when an individual tag is no longer valid
- Implement mount_ns() which returns the ns of the calling process
so we can attach it to a sysfs superblock.
- Implement ktype.namespace() which returns the ns of a syfs kobject.
Everything else is left up to sysfs and the driver layer.
For the network namespace mount_ns and namespace() are essentially
one line functions, and look to remain that.
Tags are currently represented a const void * pointers as that is
both generic, prevides enough information for equality comparisons,
and is trivial to create for current users, as it is just the
existing namespace pointer.
The work needed in sysfs is more extensive. At each directory
or symlink creating I need to check if the directory it is being
created in is a tagged directory and if so generate the appropriate
tag to place on the sysfs_dirent. Likewise at each symlink or
directory removal I need to check if the sysfs directory it is
being removed from is a tagged directory and if so figure out
which tag goes along with the name I am deleting.
Currently only directories which hold kobjects, and
symlinks are supported. There is not enough information
in the current file attribute interfaces to give us anything
to discriminate on which makes it useless, and there are
no potential users which makes it an uninteresting problem
to solve.
