      spi: Updates for v3.15
      
      A busy release for both cleanups and new drivers this time along with
      further factoring out of replicated code into the core:
      
       - Provide support in the core for DMA mapping transfers - essentially
         all drivers weren't implementing this properly, now there's no
         excuse.
       - Dual and quad mode support for spidev.
       - Fix handling of cs_change in the generic implementation.
       - Remove the S3C_DMA code from the s3c64xx driver now that all the
         platforms using it have been converted to dmaengine.
       - Lots of improvements to the Renesas SPI controllers.
       - Drivers for Allwinner A10 and A31, Qualcomm QUP and Xylinx xtfpga.
       - Removal of the bitrotted ti-ssp driver.

      AUDIT: Allow login in non-init namespaces · aa4af831
      Eric Paris authored
      
      
      It its possible to configure your PAM stack to refuse login if audit
      messages (about the login) were unable to be sent.  This is common in
      many distros and thus normal configuration of many containers.  The PAM
      modules determine if audit is enabled/disabled in the kernel based on
      the return value from sending an audit message on the netlink socket.
      If userspace gets back ECONNREFUSED it believes audit is disabled in the
      kernel.  If it gets any other error else it refuses to let the login
      proceed.
      
      Just about ever since the introduction of namespaces the kernel audit
      subsystem has returned EPERM if the task sending a message was not in
      the init user or pid namespace.  So many forms of containers have never
      worked if audit was enabled in the kernel.
      
      BUT if the container was not in net_init then the kernel network code
      would send ECONNREFUSED (instead of the audit code sending EPERM).  Thus
      by pure accident/dumb luck/bug if an admin configured the PAM stack to
      reject all logins that didn't talk to audit, but then ran the login
      untility in the non-init_net namespace, it would work!! Clearly this was
      a bug, but it is a bug some people expected.
      
      With the introduction of network namespace support in 3.14-rc1 the two
      bugs stopped cancelling each other out.  Now, containers in the
      non-init_net namespace refused to let users log in (just like PAM was
      configfured!) Obviously some people were not happy that what used to let
      users log in, now didn't!
      
      This fix is kinda hacky.  We return ECONNREFUSED for all non-init
      relevant namespaces.  That means that not only will the old broken
      non-init_net setups continue to work, now the broken non-init_pid or
      non-init_user setups will 'work'.  They don't really work, since audit
      isn't logging things.  But it's what most users want.
      
      In 3.15 we should have patches to support not only the non-init_net
      (3.14) namespace but also the non-init_pid and non-init_user namespace.
      So all will be right in the world.  This just opens the doors wide open
      on 3.14 and hopefully makes users happy, if not the audit system...

      ext4: atomically set inode->i_flags in ext4_set_inode_flags() · 00a1a053
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      
      
      Use cmpxchg() to atomically set i_flags instead of clearing out the
      S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc. flags and then setting them from the
      EXT4_IMMUTABLE_FL, EXT4_APPEND_FL flags, since this opens up a race
      where an immutable file has the immutable flag cleared for a brief
      window of time.

      switch mnt_hash to hlist · 38129a13
      Al Viro authored
      
      
      fixes RCU bug - walking through hlist is safe in face of element moves,
      since it's self-terminating.  Cyclic lists are not - if we end up jumping
      to another hash chain, we'll loop infinitely without ever hitting the
      original list head.

      don't bother with propagate_mnt() unless the target is shared · 0b1b901b
      Al Viro authored
      
      
      If the dest_mnt is not shared, propagate_mnt() does nothing -
      there's no mounts to propagate to and thus no copies to create.
      Might as well don't bother calling it in that case.
