The unregister_sysctl_table() function hangs if all references to its
ctl_table_header structure are not dropped.
This can happen sometimes because of a leak in proc_sys_lookup():
proc_sys_lookup() gets a reference to the table via lookup_entry(), but
it does not release it when a subsequent call to sysctl_follow_link()
fails.
This patch fixes this leak by making sure the reference is always
dropped on return.
See also commit 076c3eed2c ("sysctl: Rewrite proc_sys_lookup
introducing find_entry and lookup_entry") which reorganized this code in
3.4.
Tested in Linux 3.4.4.

"Here are three GFS2 fixes for the current kernel tree. These are all
related to the block reservation code which was added at the merge
window. That code will be getting an update at the forthcoming merge

which should be fixed.
The first patch resolves an issue with write sizes of greater than 32
bits with the size hinting code. The second ensures that the
allocation data structure is initialised when using xattrs and the
third takes into account allocations which may have been made by other
nodes which affect a reservation on the local node."

Pull ecryptfs fixes from Tyler Hicks:
- Fixes a regression, introduced in 3.6-rc1, when a file is closed
before its shared memory mapping is dirtied and unmapped. The lower
file was being released when the eCryptfs file was closed and the
dirtied pages could not be written out.
- Adds a call to the lower filesystem's ->flush() from
ecryptfs_flush().
- Fixes a regression, introduced in 2.6.39, when a file is renamed on
top of another file. The target file's inode was not being evicted
and the space taken by the file was not reclaimed until eCryptfs was
unmounted.

We already use them for openat() and friends, but fstat() also wants to
be able to use O_PATH file descriptors. This should make it more
directly comparable to the O_SEARCH of Solaris.
Note that you could already do the same thing with "fstatat()" and an
empty path, but just doing "fstat()" directly is simpler and faster, so
there is no reason not to just allow it directly.
See also commit 332a2e1244, which did the same thing for fchdir, for
the same reasons.

After calling into the lower filesystem to do a rename, the lower target
inode's attributes were not copied up to the eCryptfs target inode. This
resulted in the eCryptfs target inode staying around, rather than being
evicted, because i_nlink was not updated for the eCryptfs inode. This
also meant that eCryptfs didn't do the final iput() on the lower target
inode so it stayed around, as well. This would result in a failure to
free up space occupied by the target file in the rename() operation.
Both target inodes would eventually be evicted when the eCryptfs
filesystem was unmounted.
This patch calls fsstack_copy_attr_all() after the lower filesystem
does its ->rename() so that important inode attributes, such as i_nlink,
are updated at the eCryptfs layer. ecryptfs_evict_inode() is now called
and eCryptfs can drop its final reference on the lower inode.

Since eCryptfs only calls fput() on the lower file in
ecryptfs_release(), eCryptfs should call the lower filesystem's
->flush() from ecryptfs_flush().
If the lower filesystem implements ->flush(), then eCryptfs should try
to flush out any dirty pages prior to calling the lower ->flush(). If
the lower filesystem does not implement ->flush(), then eCryptfs has no
need to do anything in ecryptfs_flush() since dirty pages are now
written out to the lower filesystem in ecryptfs_release().

Fixes a regression caused by:
821f749 eCryptfs: Revert to a writethrough cache model
That patch reverted some code (specifically, 32001d6f) that was
necessary to properly handle open() -> mmap() -> close() -> dirty pages
-> munmap(), because the lower file could be closed before the dirty
pages are written out.
Rather than reapplying 32001d6f, this approach is a better way of
ensuring that the lower file is still open in order to handle writing
out the dirty pages. It is called from ecryptfs_release(), while we have
a lock on the lower file pointer, just before the lower file gets the
final fput() and we overwrite the pointer.

The claim_reserved_blks() function was not taking account of
the possibility of "blockages" while performing allocation.
This can be caused by another node allocating something in
the same extent which has been reserved locally.
This patch tests for this condition and then skips the remainder
of the reservation in this case. This is a relatively rare event,
so that it should not affect the general performance improvement
which the block reservations provide.
The claim_reserved_blks() function also appears not to be able
to deal with reservations which cross bitmap boundaries, but
that can be dealt with in a future patch since we don't generate
boundary crossing reservations currently.

Pass the checks made by decode_getacl back to __nfs4_get_acl_uncached
so that it knows if the acl has been truncated.
The current overflow checking is broken, resulting in Oopses on
user-triggered nfs4_getfacl calls, and is opaque to the point
where several attempts at fixing it have failed.
This patch tries to clean up the code in addition to fixing the
Oopses by ensuring that the overflow checks are performed in
a single place (decode_getacl). If the overflow check failed,
we will still be able to report the acl length, but at least
we will no longer attempt to cache the acl or copy the
truncated contents to user space.

When a file is stored in ICB (inode), we overwrite part of the file, and
the page containing file's data is not in page cache, we end up corrupting
file's data by overwriting them with zeros. The problem is we use
simple_write_begin() which simply zeroes parts of the page which are not
written to. The problem has been introduced by be021ee4 (udf: convert to
new aops).
Fix the problem by providing a ->write_begin function which makes the page
properly uptodate.

When the NFS_COOKIEVERF helper macro was converted into a static
inline function in commit 99fadcd764 (nfs: convert NFS_*(inode)
helpers to static inline), we broke the initialisation of the
readdir cookies, since that depended on doing a memset with an
argument of 'sizeof(NFS_COOKIEVERF(inode))' which therefore
changed from sizeof(be32 cookieverf[2]) to sizeof(be32 *).
At this point, NFS_COOKIEVERF seems to be more of an obfuscation
than a helper, so the best thing would be to just get rid of it.
