I noticed that if sysfs_make_dirent fails to allocate the sd, then a
null will be passed to sysfs_put.

The problem arises if an entity in sysfs is created and removed without
ever having been made completely visible. In SCSI this is triggered by
removing a device while it's initialising.
The problem appears to be that because it was never made visible in sysfs,
the sysfs dentry has a null d_inode which oopses when a reference is made
to it. The solution is simply to check d_inode and assume the object was
never made visible (and thus doesn't need deleting) if it's NULL.
(akpm: possibly a stopgap for 2.6.13 scsi problems. May not be the
long-term fix)

This bug could cause oopses and page state corruption, because ncpfs
used the generic page-cache symlink handlign functions. But those
functions only work if the page cache is guaranteed to be "stable", ie a
page that was installed when the symlink walk was started has to still
be installed in the page cache at the end of the walk.
We could have fixed ncpfs to not use the generic helper routines, but it
is in many ways much cleaner to instead improve on the symlink walking
helper routines so that they don't require that absolute stability.
We do this by allowing "follow_link()" to return a error-pointer as a
cookie, which is fed back to the cleanup "put_link()" routine. This
also simplifies NFS symlink handling.

o sysfs_dirent's s_mode field should also be updated in sysfs_setattr(), else
there could be inconsistency in the two fields. s_mode is used while
->readdir so as not to bring in the inode to cache.

o sysfs_chmod_file() must update the new iattr field in sysfs_dirent else
the mode change will not be persistent in case of inode evacuation from

inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:
* dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
* dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
stat structures.
* dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals?
inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
notification:
* inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
* inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
you were watching is on was unmounted."
* inotify can watch directories or files.
Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.

Various filesystem drivers have grown a get_dentry() function that's a
duplicate of lookup_one_len, except that it doesn't take a maximum length
argument and doesn't check for \0 or / in the passed in filename.
Switch all these places to use lookup_one_len.

Without this change I can't set an attribute exactly PAGE_SIZE in
length. There is no need for zero termination because the interface
uses lengths.

o Following patch sets the attributes for newly allocated inodes for sysfs
objects. If the object has non-default attributes, inode attributes are
set as saved in sysfs_dirent->s_iattr, pointer to struct iattr.

o This adds ->i_op->setattr VFS method for sysfs inodes. The changed
attribues are saved in the persistent sysfs_dirent structure as a pointer
to struct iattr. The struct iattr is allocated only for those sysfs_dirent's
for which default attributes are getting changed. Thanks to Jon Smirl for
this suggestion.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
