cifs: Fix oops in session setup code for null user mounts
[CIFS] Update cifs Kconfig title to match removal of experimental dependency
cifs: fix printk format warnings
cifs: check offset in decode_ntlmssp_challenge()
cifs: NULL dereference on allocation failure
Setting the task name is done within setup_new_exec() by accessing
bprm->filename. However this happens after flush_old_exec().
This may result in a use after free bug, flush_old_exec() may
"complete" vfork_done, which will wake up the parent which in turn
may free the passed in filename.
To fix this add a new tcomm field in struct linux_binprm which
contains the now early generated task name until it is used.
Fixes this bug on s390:

This fixes the race in process_vm_core found by Oleg (see

for details).
This has been updated since I last sent it as the creation of the new
mm_access() function did almost exactly the same thing as parts of the
previous version of this patch did.
In order to use mm_access() even when /proc isn't enabled, we move it to
kernel/fork.c where other related process mm access functions already
are.

Lockdep was reporting a possible circular lock dependency in
dentry_lease_is_valid(). That function needs to sample the
session's s_cap_gen and and s_cap_ttl fields coherently, but needs
to do so while holding a dentry lock. The s_cap_lock field was
being used to protect the two fields, but that can't be taken while
holding a lock on a dentry within the session.
In most cases, the s_cap_gen and s_cap_ttl fields only get operated
on separately. But in three cases they need to be updated together.
Implement a new lock to protect the spots updating both fields
atomically is required.

"len" is read from network and thus needs validation. Otherwise, given
a bogus "len" value, p+len could be an out-of-bounds pointer, which is
used in further parsing.

The virtual extended attribute named "ceph.layout" is meaningful
only for regular files. Change its name to be "ceph.file.layout" to
more directly reflect that in the ceph xattr namespace. Preserve
the old "ceph.layout" name for the time being (until we decide it's
safe to get rid of it entirely).
Add a missing initializer for "readonly" in the terminating entry.

Once /proc/pid/mem is opened, the memory can't be released until
mem_release() even if its owner exits.
Change mem_open() to do atomic_inc(mm_count) + mmput(), this only
pins mm_struct. Change mem_rw() to do atomic_inc_not_zero(mm_count)
before access_remote_vm(), this verifies that this mm is still alive.
I am not sure what should mem_rw() return if atomic_inc_not_zero()
fails. With this patch it returns zero to match the "mm == NULL" case,
may be it should return -EINVAL like it did before e268337d.
Perhaps it makes sense to add the additional fatal_signal_pending()
check into the main loop, to ensure we do not hold this memory if
the target task was oom-killed.

No functional changes, cleanup and preparation.
mem_read() and mem_write() are very similar. Move this code into the
new common helper, mem_rw(), which takes the additional "int write"
argument.

This patch fixes merge conflict resolution breakage introduced by merge
d3712b9dfc ("Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://github.com/prasad-joshi/logfs_upstream").
The commit changed 'mtd_can_have_bb()' function and made it always
return zero, which is incorrect. Instead, we need it to return whether
the underlying flash device can have bad eraseblocks or not. UBI needs
this information because it affects how it handles the underlying flash.
E.g., if the underlying flash is NOR, it cannot have bad blocks and any
write or erase error is fatal, and all we can do is to switch to R/O
mode. We do not need to reserve a pool of good eraseblocks for bad
eraseblocks handling, and so on.
This patch also removes 'mtd_can_have_bb()' invocations from Logfs to
ensure correct Logfs behavior.
I've tested that with this patch UBI works on top of NOR and NAND
flashes emulated by mtdram and nandsim correspondingly.
This patch is based on patch from Linus Torvalds.

There are few important bug fixes for LogFS
* tag 'for-linus' of git://github.com/prasad-joshi/logfs_upstream:
Logfs: Allow NULL block_isbad() methods
logfs: Grow inode in delete path
logfs: Free areas before calling generic_shutdown_super()
logfs: remove useless BUG_ON
MAINTAINERS: Add Prasad Joshi in LogFS maintiners
logfs: Propagate page parameter to __logfs_write_inode
logfs: set superblock shutdown flag after generic sb shutdown
logfs: take write mutex lock during fsync and sync
logfs: Prevent memory corruption
logfs: update page reference count for pined pages
Fix up conflict in fs/logfs/dev_mtd.c due to semantic change in what
"mtd->block_isbad" means in commit f2933e86ad: "Logfs: Allow NULL
block_isbad() methods" clashing with the abstraction changes in the
commits 7086c19d07: "mtd: introduce mtd_block_isbad interface" and
d58b27ed58: "logfs: do not use 'mtd->block_isbad' directly".
This resolution takes the semantics from commit f2933e86ad, and just
makes mtd_block_isbad() return zero (false) if the 'block_isbad'
function is NULL. But that also means that now "mtd_can_have_bb()"
always returns 0.
Now, "mtd_block_markbad()" will obviously return an error if the
low-level driver doesn't support bad blocks, so this is somewhat
non-symmetric, but it actually makes sense if a NULL "block_isbad"
function is considered to mean "I assume that all my blocks are always
good".

Here are some patches for the 3.3-rc1 tree.
It contains the removal of the sysdev code, now that all users of it are
gone, as well as some sysfs bugfixes that have been reported by users.
There are also some documentation updates here as well.

Can be necessary if an inode gets deleted (through -ENOSPC) before being
written. Might be better to move this into logfs_write_rec(), but for
now go with the stupid&safe patch.
