Documentation: update stale definition of file-nr in fs.txt
In "documentation: update Documentation/filesystem/proc.txt and
Documentation/sysctls" (commit 760df93ec) we merged /proc/sys/fs
documentation in Documentation/sysctl/fs.txt and
Documentation/filesystem/proc.txt, but stale file-nr definition
remained.
This patch adds back the right fs-nr definition for 2.6 kernel.

time: add function to convert between calendar time and broken-down time for universal use
There are many similar code in kernel for one object: convert time between
calendar time and broken-down time.
Here is some source I found:
fs/ncpfs/dir.c
fs/smbfs/proc.c
fs/fat/misc.c
fs/udf/udftime.c
fs/cifs/netmisc.c
net/netfilter/xt_time.c
drivers/scsi/ips.c
drivers/input/misc/hp_sdc_rtc.c
drivers/rtc/rtc-lib.c
arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/fw-emu.c
arch/m68k/mac/misc.c
arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c
arch/parisc/include/asm/rtc.h
...
We can make a common function for this type of conversion, At least we
can get following benefit:
1: Make kernel simple and unify
2: Easy to fix bug in converting code
3: Reduce clone of code in future
For example, I'm trying to make ftrace display walltime,
this patch will make me easy.
This code is based on code from glibc-2.6

hugetlbfs: do not call user_shm_lock() for MAP_HUGETLB fix
Commit 6bfde05bf5c ("hugetlbfs: allow the creation of files suitable for

ksm: change default values to better fit into mainline kernel
Now that ksm is in mainline it is better to change the default values to
better fit to most of the users.
This patch change the ksm default values to be:
ksm_thread_pages_to_scan = 100 (instead of 200)
ksm_thread_sleep_millisecs = 20 (like before)
ksm_run = KSM_RUN_STOP (instead of KSM_RUN_MERGE - meaning ksm is
disabled by default)
ksm_max_kernel_pages = nr_free_buffer_pages / 4 (instead of 2046)
The important aspect of this patch is: it disables ksm by default, and sets
the number of the kernel_pages that can be allocated to be a reasonable
number.

It happens because the new INPUT_WINBOND_CIR driver relies on new-leds

But it selects LEDS_CLASS, which confuses a number of other drivers into
thinking that all the leds infrastructure is in place.
Fix this by selecting NEW_LEDS as well, like similar drivers do.
Eventually, this whole leds infrastructure complexity should be
cleaned up, it's been going on for years.

Btrfs: check size of inode backref before adding hardlink
For every hardlink in btrfs, there is a corresponding inode back
reference. All inode back references for hardlinks in a given
directory are stored in single b-tree item. The size of b-tree item
is limited by the size of b-tree leaf, so we can only create limited
number of hardlinks to a given file in a directory.
The original code lacks of the check, it oops if the number of
hardlinks goes over the limit. This patch fixes the issue by adding
check to btrfs_link and btrfs_rename.

fs: fix overflow in sys_mount() for in-kernel calls
sys_mount() reads/copies a whole page for its "type" parameter. When
do_mount_root() passes a kernel address that points to an object which is
smaller than a whole page, copy_mount_options() will happily go past this
memory object, possibly dereferencing "wild" pointers that could be in any
state (hence the kmemcheck warning, which shows that parts of the next
page are not even allocated).
(The likelihood of something going wrong here is pretty low -- first of
all this only applies to kernel calls to sys_mount(), which are mostly
found in the boot code. Secondly, I guess if the page was not mapped,
exact_copy_from_user() _would_ in fact handle it correctly because of its
access_ok(), etc. checks.)
But it is much nicer to avoid the dubious reads altogether, by stopping as
soon as we find a NUL byte. Is there a good reason why we can't do
something like this, using the already existing strndup_from_user()?

grab an active reference to keep the file system busy and add an explicit
check for frozen filesystems in remount and reject the remount instead
of blocking on s_umount.

Now that we have the freeze count there is not much reason for bd_mount_sem

device is frozen. Instead of add a check for bd_fsfreeze_count and

vfs: change sb->s_maxbytes to a loff_t
sb->s_maxbytes is supposed to indicate the maximum size of a file that can
exist on the filesystem. It's declared as an unsigned long long.
Even if a filesystem has no inherent limit that prevents it from using
every bit in that unsigned long long, it's still problematic to set it to
anything larger than MAX_LFS_FILESIZE. There are places in the kernel
that cast s_maxbytes to a signed value. If it's set too large then this
cast makes it a negative number and generally breaks the comparison.
Change s_maxbytes to be loff_t instead. That should help eliminate the
temptation to set it too large by making it a signed value.
Also, add a warning for couple of releases to help catch filesystems that
set s_maxbytes too large. Eventually we can either convert this to a
BUG() or just remove it and in the hope that no one will get it wrong now
that it's a signed value.

Some benchmark testing shows touch_atime to be high up in profile logs for
IO intensive workloads. Most likely that's due to the lock in
mnt_want_write(). Unfortunately touch_atime first takes the lock, and
then does all the other tests that could avoid atime updates (like noatime
or relatime).
Do it the other way round -- first try to avoid the update and only then
if that didn't succeed take the lock. That works because none of the
atime avoidance tests rely on locking.
This also eliminates a goto.

In fact, the patch makes it even worse because it does the thing it

- the complete() callback may de-allocated subinfo as seen in the

and the path pointer was NULL. Good that ARM's kernel_execve()
doesn't check the pointer for NULL or else I wouldn't notice it.
The only race there might be is with UMH_NO_WAIT but it is too late for
me to investigate it now. UMH_WAIT_PROC could probably also use VFORK
and we could save one exec. So the only race I see is with UMH_NO_WAIT

Btrfs: fix releasepage to avoid unlocking extents we haven't locked
During releasepage, we try to drop any extent_state structs for the
bye offsets of the page we're releaseing. But the code was incorrectly
telling clear_extent_bit to delete the state struct unconditionallly.
Normally this would be fine because we have the page locked, but other
parts of btrfs will lock down an entire extent, the most common place
being IO completion.
releasepage was deleting the extent state without first locking the extent,
which may result in removing a state struct that another process had
locked down. The fix here is to leave the NODATASUM and EXTENT_LOCKED
bits alone in releasepage.

Btrfs: Fix test_range_bit for whole file extents
If test_range_bit finds an extent that goes all the way to (u64)-1, it
can incorrectly wrap the u64 instead of treaing it like the end of
the address space.
This just adds a check for the highest possible offset so we don't wrap.

Btrfs: fix errors handling cached state in set/clear_extent_bit
Both set and clear_extent_bit allow passing a cached
state struct to reduce rbtree search times. clear_extent_bit
was improperly bypassing some of the checks around making sure
the extent state fields were correct for a given operation.
The fix used here (from Yan Zheng) is to use the hit_next
goto target instead of jumping all the way down to start clearing
bits without making sure the cached state was exactly correct
for the operation we were doing.
This also fixes up the setting of the start variable for both
ops in the case where we find an overlapping extent that
begins before the range we want to change. In both cases
we were incorrectly going backwards from the original
requested change.

cpumask: remove unused deprecated functions, avoid accusations of insanity
We're not forcing removal of the old cpu_ functions, but we might as

cpumask: remove unused mask field from struct irqaction.
Up until 1.1.83, the primitive human tribes used struct sigaction for
interrupts. The sa_mask field was overloaded to hold a pointer to the
name.
When someone created the new "struct irqaction" they carried across
the "mask" field as a kind of ancestor worship: the fact that it was
unused makes clear its spiritual significance.

(Thanks to Al Viro for reminding me of this, via Ingo)
CPU_MASK_ALL is the (deprecated) "all bits set" cpumask, defined as so:
#define CPU_MASK_ALL (cpumask_t) { { ... } }
Taking the address of such a temporary is questionable at best,
unfortunately 321a8e9d (cpumask: add CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR macro) added
CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR:
#define CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR (&CPU_MASK_ALL)
Which formalizes this practice. One day gcc could bite us over this
usage (though we seem to have gotten away with it so far).
So replace everywhere which used &CPU_MASK_ALL or CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR
with the modern "cpu_all_mask" (a real struct cpumask *), and remove
CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR altogether.
