commit 073931017b49d9458aa351605b43a7e34598caef upstream.

When file permissions are modified via chmod(2) and the user is not in
the owning group or capable of CAP_FSETID, the setgid bit is cleared in
inode_change_ok().  Setting a POSIX ACL via setxattr(2) sets the file
permissions as well as the new ACL, but doesn't clear the setgid bit in
a similar way; this allows to bypass the check in chmod(2).  Fix that.

<title>Fix directory hardlinks from deleted directories</title>

[ Upstream commit be629c62a603e5935f8177fd8a19e014100a259e ]

When a directory is deleted, we don't take too much care about killing off
all the dirents that belong to it — on the basis that on remount, the scan
will conclude that the directory is dead anyway.

This doesn't work though, when the deleted directory contained a child
directory which was moved *out*. In the early stages of the fs build
we can then end up with an apparent hard link, with the child directory
appearing both in its true location, and as a child of the original
directory which are this stage of the mount process we don't *yet* know
is defunct.

To resolve this, take out the early special-casing of the "directories
shall not have hard links" rule in jffs2_build_inode_pass1(), and let the
normal nlink processing happen for directories as well as other inodes.

Then later in the build process we can set ic-&gt;pino_nlink to the parent
inode#, as is required for directories during normal operaton, instead
of the nlink. And complain only *then* about hard links which are still
in evidence even after killing off all the unreachable paths.

[ Upstream commit 157078f64b8a9cd7011b6b900b2f2498df850748 ]

This reverts commit 5ffd3412ae55
("jffs2: Fix lock acquisition order bug in jffs2_write_begin").

The commit modified jffs2_write_begin() to remove a deadlock with
jffs2_garbage_collect_live(), but this introduced new deadlocks found
by multiple users. page_lock() actually has to be called before
mutex_lock(&amp;c-&gt;alloc_sem) or mutex_lock(&amp;f-&gt;sem) because
jffs2_write_end() and jffs2_readpage() are called with the page locked,
and they acquire c-&gt;alloc_sem and f-&gt;sem, resp.

In other words, the lock order in jffs2_write_begin() was correct, and
it is the jffs2_garbage_collect_live() path that has to be changed.

Revert the commit to get rid of the new deadlocks, and to clear the way
for a better fix of the original deadlock.

schedule_delayed_work() happening when the work is already pending is
a cheap no-op.  Don't bother with -&gt;wbuf_queued logics - it's both
broken (cancelling -&gt;wbuf_dwork leaves it set, as spotted by Jeff Harris)
and pointless.  It's cheaper to let schedule_delayed_work() handle that
case.

<title>initramfs: support initramfs that is bigger than 2GiB</title>

<content type='text'>
Now with 64bit bzImage and kexec tools, we support ramdisk that size is
bigger than 2g, as we could put it above 4G.

Found compressed initramfs image could not be decompressed properly.  It
turns out that image length is int during decompress detection, and it
will become &lt; 0 when length is more than 2G.  Furthermore, during
decompressing len as int is used for inbuf count, that has problem too.

Change len to long, that should be ok as on 32 bit platform long is
32bits.

Tested with following compressed initramfs image as root with kexec.
	gzip, bzip2, xz, lzma, lzop, lz4.
run time for populate_rootfs():
   size        name       Nehalem-EX  Westmere-EX  Ivybridge-EX
 9034400256 root_img     :   26s           24s          30s
 3561095057 root_img.lz4 :   28s           27s          27s
 3459554629 root_img.lzo :   29s           29s          28s
 3219399480 root_img.gz  :   64s           62s          49s
 2251594592 root_img.xz  :  262s          260s         183s
 2226366598 root_img.lzma:  386s          376s         277s
 2901482513 root_img.bz2 :  635s          599s
