enough extra space to store the per-copy information depending on the
number of copies needed.
So declaring a 'struct r10bio on the stack isn't going to work. It
won't allocate enough space, and memory corruption will ensue.
So in the two places where this is done, declare a sufficiently large

is happily leaked to rpm_resume() executed in that case.
That shouldn't happen, so if power.deferred_resume is set in
rpm_suspend() after the status has been changed to RPM_SUSPENDED,
clear it before calling rpm_resume(). Then, it doesn't need to be
cleared before changing the status to RPM_SUSPENDING any more,
because it's always cleared after the status has been changed to
either RPM_SUSPENDED (on success) or RPM_ACTIVE (on failure).

autofs4 - fix expire check
In some cases when an autofs indirect mount is contained in a file
system that is marked as shared (such as when systemd does the
equivalent of "mount --make-rshared /" early in the boot), mounts
stop expiring.
When this happens the first expiry check on a mountpoint dentry in
autofs_expire_indirect() sees a mountpoint dentry with a higher
than minimal reference count. Consequently the dentry is condidered
busy and the actual expiry check is never done.
This particular check was originally meant as an optimisation to
detect a path walk in progress but with the addition of rcu-walk
it can be ineffective anyway.
Removing the test allows automounts to expire again since the
actual expire check doesn't rely on the dentry reference count.

Currently in ext4 the length of zero-out chunk is set to 7 file system
blocks. But if an inode has uninitailized extents from using
fallocate to preallocate space, and the workload issues many random
writes, this can cause a fragmented extent tree that will
unnecessarily grow the extent tree.
So create a new sysfs tunable, extent_max_zeroout_kb, which controls
the maximum size where blocks will be zeroed out instead of creating a
new uninitialized extent. The default of this has been sent to 32kb.

ext4: realign trace events structs to make it smaller
Most hardware architectures require that data (including struct fields)
have to be aligned in memory. To make it happen compiler inserts padding
between struct fields if they are not aligned correctly.
Reorder fields to remove paddings and make structures denser. Making data
smaller saves some memory that is very important for trace events.
Tracing buffer has limited size and making objects smaller we can put more
of them without overflowing the tracing buffer.

Very large directories can cause significant performance problems, or
perhaps even invoke the OOM killer, if the process is running in a
highly constrained memory environment (whether it is VM's with a small

So it is useful, in cloud server/data center environments, to be able
to set a filesystem-wide cap on the maximum size of a directory, to
ensure that directories never get larger than a sane size. We do this
via a new mount option, max_dir_size_kb. If there is an attempt to
grow the directory larger than max_dir_size_kb, the system call will
return ENOSPC instead.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028
The problem in commit 968dee7722 was that caused the variable 'i' to
be left uninitialized if the truncate required more space than was
available in the journal. This resulted in the function
ext4_ext_truncate_extend_restart() returning -EAGAIN, which caused
ext4_ext_remove_space() to restart the truncate operation after
starting a new jbd2 handle.

ext4: fix long mount times on very big file systems
Commit 8aeb00ff85a: "ext4: fix overhead calculation used by
ext4_statfs()" introduced a O(n**2) calculation which makes very large
file systems take forever to mount. Fix this with an optimization for
non-bigalloc file systems. (For bigalloc file systems the overhead
needs to be set in the the superblock.)

ext4: don't call ext4_error while block group is locked
While in ext4_validate_block_bitmap(), if an block allocation bitmap
is found to be invalid, we call ext4_error() while the block group is
still locked. This causes ext4_commit_super() to call a function
which might sleep while in an atomic context.
There's no need to keep the block group locked at this point, so hoist
the ext4_error() call up to ext4_validate_block_bitmap() and release
the block group spinlock before calling ext4_error().

Yama: access task_struct->comm directly
The core ptrace access checking routine holds a task lock, and when
reporting a failure, Yama takes a separate task lock. To avoid a
potential deadlock with two ptracers taking the opposite locks, do not
use get_task_comm() and just use ->comm directly since accuracy is not
important for the report.
