Switch cb_lock to mutex and allow netlink kernel users to override it
with a subsystem specific mutex for consistent locking in dump callbacks.
All netlink_dump_start users have been audited not to rely on any

The listxattr() and getxattr() operations are only protected by a read
lock. As a result, if either of these operations run in parallel, a race
condition exists where the xattr_root will end up being cached twice, which
results in the leaking of a reference and a BUG() on umount.
This patch refactors get_xa_root(), __get_xa_root(), and create_xa_root(),
into one get_xa_root() function that takes the appropriate locking around
the entire critical section.

v9fs_insert uses v9fs_fid_lookup (which also locks the fid) to get the
primary fid associated with the dentry and destroys the v9fs_fid struct
after removing the file. If another process called v9fs_fid_lookup on the
same dentry, it may wait undefinitely for the fid's lock (as the struct is
freed).
This patch changes v9fs_remove to use a cloned fid, so the primary fid is
not locked and freed.

This patch should fix or partly fix this bug:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8276
The problem is:
- if we see "zero link case" during reading inode operation, we call
ufs_error(which remount fs readonly), but not "mark" inode as bad (1)
- in readonly case we do not fill some data structures, which are used in
read and write case (2)
- VFS call ufs_delete_inode if link count is zero (3)
so (1)->(3)->(2) cause oops, this patch should fix such scenario

If the writebacks are cancelled via nfs_cancel_dirty_list, or due to the
memory allocation failing in nfs_flush_one/nfs_flush_multi, then we must
ensure that the PG_writeback flag is cleared.
Also ensure that we actually own the PG_writeback flag whenever we
schedule a new writeback by making nfs_set_page_writeback() return the
value of test_set_page_writeback().
The PG_writeback page flag ends up replacing the functionality of the
PG_FLUSHING nfs_page flag, so we rip that out too.

Commit f50b6f8691 introduced a race in
autofs4 between autofs_lookup_unhashed() and autofs_dentry_release().
autofs_dentry_release() ends up clearing the ->dentry and ->inode members
of autofs_info before removing it from the rehash list. The list is
protected by the rehash lock in both functions, but since
autofs_dentry_release() starts tearing the autofs_info struct down before
removing it from the list, autofs_lookup_unhashed() can get a autofs_info
with a NULL dentry.
This patch moves the clearing of ->dentry and ->inode after the removal
from the rehash list.

Dmitry points out
"When we block_prepare_write() failed while ext3_prepare_write() we jump to
"failure" label and call ext3_prepare_failure() witch search last mapped bh
and invoke commit_write untill it. This is wrong!! because some bh from
begining to the last mapped bh may be not uptodate. As a result we commit to
disk not uptodate page content witch contains garbage from previous usage."
and
"Unexpected file size increasing."
Call trace the same as it was in first issue but result is different.
For example we have file with i_size is zero. we want write two blocks ,
but fs has only one free block.
->ext3_prepare_write(...from == 0, to == 2048)
retry:
->block_prepare_write() == -ENOSPC# we failed but allocated one block here.
->ext3_prepare_failure()
->commit_write( from == 0, to == 1024) # after this i_size becomes 1024 :)
if (ret == -ENOSPC && ext3_should_retry_alloc(inode->i_sb, &retries))
goto retry;
Finally when all retries will be spended ext3_prepare_failure return
-ENOSPC, but i_size was increased and later block trimm procedures can't
help here.
We don't appear to have the horsepower to fix these issues, so let's put
things back the way they were for now.

When a file had a dos attribute of 0x1 (readonly - but dos attribute
of archive was not set) - doing chmod 0777 or equivalent would
try to set a dos attribute of 0 (which some servers ignore)
rather than ATTR_NORMAL (0x20) which most servers accept.
Does not affect servers which support the CIFS Unix Extensions.

This bug was seen on ppc64, but it could have occurred on any
architecture with a page size of 64k or above. The problem is that in
fs/binfmt_elf.c:randomize_stack_top() randomizes the stack to within
0x7ff pages. On 4k page machines, this is 8MB; on 64k page boxes, this
is 128MB.
The problem is that the new binary layout (selected in
arch_pick_mmap_layout) places the mapping segment 128MB or the stack
rlimit away from the top of the process memory, whichever is larger. If
you chose an rlimit of less than 128MB (most defaults are in the 8Mb
range) then you can end up having your entire stack randomized away.
The fix is to make randomize_stack_top() only steal at most 8MB, which this
patch does. However, I have to point out that even with this, your stack
rlimit might not be exactly what you get if it's > 128MB, because you're
still losing the random offset of up to 8MB.
The true fix should be to leave an explicit gap for the randomization plus
a buffer when determining mmap_base, but that would involve fixing all the
architectures.

Remove the misleading "Presently only useful on the IA-64 platform" text
from the EFI partition Kconfig.
EFI partitions are also used by Apple on their Intel-based machines and
thus you need EFI partition support if you (for example) want to attach
such a machine in target disk mode.
