I converted the various export-returning functions to return -ENOENT instead
of NULL, but missed a few cases.
This particular case could cause actual bugs in the case of a krb5 client that
doesn't match any ip-based client and that is trying to access a filesystem
not exported to krb5 clients.

The value of nperbucket calculated here is too small--we should be rounding up
instead of down--with the result that the index j in the following loop can
overflow the raparm_hash array. At least in my case, the next thing in memory
turns out to be export_table, so the symptoms I see are crashes caused by the
appearance of four zeroed-out export entries in the first bucket of the hash
table of exports (which were actually entries in the readahead cache, a
pointer to which had been written to the export table in this initialization
code).
It looks like the bug was probably introduced with commit
fce1456a19f5c08b688c29f00ef90fdfa074c79b ("knfsd: make the readahead params
cache SMP-friendly").

Noticed all warnings are occurs when the debug level is 0. Then found
the "jbd2: Move jbd2-debug file to debugfs" patch
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0f49d5d019afa4e94253bfc92f0daca3badb990b
changed the jbd2_journal_enable_debug from int type to u8, makes the
jbd_debug comparision is always true when the debugging level is 0. Thus
the compile warning occurs.
Thought about changing the jbd2_journal_enable_debug data type back to
int, but can't, because the jbd2-debug is moved to debug fs, where
calling debugfs_create_u8() to create the debugfs entry needs the value
to be u8 type.
Even if we changed the data type back to int, the code is still buggy,
kernel should not print jbd2 debug message if the
jbd2_journal_enable_debug is set to 0. But this is not the case.
The fix is change the level of debugging to 1. The same should fixed in
ext3/JBD, but currently ext3 jbd-debug via /proc fs is broken, so we
probably should fix it all together.

Stackable file systems, among others, frequently need to lookup paths or
path components starting from an arbitrary point in the namespace
(identified by a dentry and a vfsmount). Currently, such file systems use
lookup_one_len, which is frowned upon [1] as it does not pass the lookup
intent along; not passing a lookup intent, for example, can trigger BUG_ON's
when stacking on top of NFSv4.
The first patch introduces a new lookup function to allow lookup starting
from an arbitrary point in the namespace. This approach has been suggested
by Christoph Hellwig [2].
The second patch changes sunrpc to use vfs_path_lookup.
The third patch changes nfsctl.c to use vfs_path_lookup.
The fourth patch marks link_path_walk static.
The fifth, and last patch, unexports path_walk because it is no longer
unnecessary to call it directly, and using the new vfs_path_lookup is
cleaner.
For example, the following snippet of code, looks up "some/path/component"
in a directory pointed to by parent_{dentry,vfsmnt}:
err = vfs_path_lookup(parent_dentry, parent_vfsmnt,
"some/path/component", 0, &nd);
if (!err) {
/* exits */
...
/* once done, release the references */
path_release(&nd);
} else if (err == -ENOENT) {
/* doesn't exist */
} else {
/* other error */
}
VFS functions such as lookup_create can be used on the nameidata structure
to pass the create intent to the file system.

Remove the arg+env limit of MAX_ARG_PAGES by copying the strings directly from
the old mm into the new mm.
We create the new mm before the binfmt code runs, and place the new stack at
the very top of the address space. Once the binfmt code runs and figures out
where the stack should be, we move it downwards.
It is a bit peculiar in that we have one task with two mm's, one of which is
inactive.

The purpose of audit_bprm() is to log the argv array to a userspace daemon at
the end of the execve system call. Since user-space hasn't had time to run,
this array is still in pristine state on the process' stack; so no need to
copy it, we can just grab it from there.
In order to minimize the damage to audit_log_*() copy each string into a
temporary kernel buffer first.
Currently the audit code requires that the full argument vector fits in a
single packet. So currently it does clip the argv size to a (sysctl) limit,
but only when execve auditing is enabled.
If the audit protocol gets extended to allow for multiple packets this check
can be removed.

Pass real splice size to page_cache_readahead_ondemand().
The splice code works in chunks of 16 pages internally. The readahead code
should be told of the overall splice size, instead of the internal chunk size.
Otherwize bad things may happen. Imagine some 17-page random splice reads.
The code before this patch will result in two readahead calls: readahead(16);
readahead(1); That leads to one 16-page I/O and one 32-page I/O: one extra I/O
and 31 readahead miss pages.

Move synchronous page_cache_readahead_ondemand() call out of splice loop.
This avoids one pointless page allocation/insertion in case of non-zero
ra_pages, or many pointless readahead calls in case of zero ra_pages.
Note that if a user sets ra_pages to less than PIPE_BUFFERS=16 pages, he will
not get expected readahead behavior anyway. The splice code works in batches
of 16 pages, which can be taken as another form of synchronous readahead.

Convert ext3/ext4 dir reads to use on-demand readahead.
Readahead for dirs operates _not_ on file level, but on blockdev level. This
makes a difference when the data blocks are not continuous. And the read
routine is somehow opaque: there's no handy info about the status of current
page. So a simplified call scheme is employed: to call into readahead
whenever the current page falls out of readahead windows.

regular eCryptfs files on chmod, chown, and so forth. This leads to a NULL

Optimize show_stat to collect per-irq information just once.
On x86_64, with newer kernel versions, kstat_irqs is a bit of a problem.
On every call to kstat_irqs, the process brings in per-cpu data from all
online cpus. Doing this for NR_IRQS, which is now 256 + 32 * NR_CPUS
results in (256+32*63) * 63 remote cpu references on a 64 cpu config.
Considering the fact that we already compute this value per-cpu, we can
save on the remote references as below.

This patch completes Linus's wish that the fault return codes be made into
bit flags, which I agree makes everything nicer. This requires requires
all handle_mm_fault callers to be modified (possibly the modifications
should go further and do things like fault accounting in handle_mm_fault --
however that would be for another patch).

Change ->fault prototype. We now return an int, which contains
VM_FAULT_xxx code in the low byte, and FAULT_RET_xxx code in the next byte.
FAULT_RET_ code tells the VM whether a page was found, whether it has been
locked, and potentially other things. This is not quite the way he wanted
it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to
arch code).
This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say
that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we
can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were
going to do that anyway.
struct fault_data is renamed to struct vm_fault as Linus asked. address
is now a void __user * that we should firmly encourage drivers not to use
without really good reason.
The page is now returned via a page pointer in the vm_fault struct.

Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes
the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings.
->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code
should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping. The hitch here
is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie. pgoff).
But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function
calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation).
Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing
to be doing.
This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and
->populate and (later) ->nopfn. Most of the old mechanism is still in place
so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if
everyone switches over.
The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are
subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid
to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two.
After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in
pagecache. Seems like a fringe functionality anyway.
NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed. This should be implemented with ->fault, and no
users have hit mainline yet.

Fix the race between invalidate_inode_pages and do_no_page.
Andrea Arcangeli identified a subtle race between invalidation of pages from
pagecache with userspace mappings, and do_no_page.
The issue is that invalidation has to shoot down all mappings to the page,
before it can be discarded from the pagecache. Between shooting down ptes to
a particular page, and actually dropping the struct page from the pagecache,
do_no_page from any process might fault on that page and establish a new
mapping to the page just before it gets discarded from the pagecache.
The most common case where such invalidation is used is in file truncation.
This case was catered for by doing a sort of open-coded seqlock between the
file's i_size, and its truncate_count.
Truncation will decrease i_size, then increment truncate_count before
unmapping userspace pages; do_no_page will read truncate_count, then find the
page if it is within i_size, and then check truncate_count under the page
table lock and back out and retry if it had subsequently been changed (ptl
will serialise against unmapping, and ensure a potentially updated
truncate_count is actually visible).
Complexity and documentation issues aside, the locking protocol fails in the
case where we would like to invalidate pagecache inside i_size. do_no_page
can come in anytime and filemap_nopage is not aware of the invalidation in
progress (as it is when it is outside i_size). The end result is that
dangling (->mapping == NULL) pages that appear to be from a particular file
may be mapped into userspace with nonsense data. Valid mappings to the same
place will see a different page.
Andrea implemented two working fixes, one using a real seqlock, another using
a page->flags bit. He also proposed using the page lock in do_no_page, but
that was initially considered too heavyweight. However, it is not a global or
per-file lock, and the page cacheline is modified in do_no_page to increment
_count and _mapcount anyway, so a further modification should not be a large
performance hit. Scalability is not an issue.
This patch implements this latter approach. ->nopage implementations return
with the page locked if it is possible for their underlying file to be
invalidated (in that case, they must set a special vm_flags bit to indicate
so). do_no_page only unlocks the page after setting up the mapping
completely. invalidation is excluded because it holds the page lock during
invalidation of each page (and ensures that the page is not mapped while
holding the lock).
This also allows significant simplifications in do_no_page, because we have
the page locked in the right place in the pagecache from the start.
