Several code paths in reiserfs have a construct like:
if (is_direntry_le_ih(ih = B_N_PITEM_HEAD(src, item_num))) ...
which, in addition to being ugly, end up causing compiler warnings with
gcc 4.4.0. Previous compilers didn't issue a warning.
fs/reiserfs/do_balan.c:1273: warning: operation on `aux_ih' may be undefined
fs/reiserfs/lbalance.c:393: warning: operation on `ih' may be undefined
fs/reiserfs/lbalance.c:421: warning: operation on `ih' may be undefined
fs/reiserfs/lbalance.c:777: warning: operation on `ih' may be undefined
I believe this is due to the ih being passed to macros which evaluate the
argument more than once. This is old code and we haven't seen any
problems with it, but this patch eliminates the warnings.
It converts the multiple evaluation macros to static inlines and does a
preassignment for the cases that were causing the warnings because that
code is just ugly.

isofs allows setting of default uid and gid of files but value 0 was used
to indicate that user did not specify any uid/gid mount option. Since
this option also overrides uid/gid set in Rock Ridge extension, it makes
sense to allow forcing uid/gid 0. Fix option processing to allow this.

So far, permissions set via 'mode' and/or 'dmode' mount options were
effective only if the medium had no rock ridge extensions (or was mounted
without them). Add 'overriderockmode' mount option to indicate that these
options should override permissions set in rock ridge extensions. Maybe
this should be default but the current behavior is there since mount
options were created so I think we should not change how they behave.

As Ted pointed out, it can happen that ext3_truncate() returns without
removing inode from orphan list. This way we could in some rare cases
(like when we get ENOMEM from an allocation in ext3_truncate called
because of failed ext3_write_begin) leave the inode on orphan list and
that triggers assertion failure on umount.
So make ext3_truncate() always remove inode from in-memory orphan list.

Chain verification in ext3_get_blocks() has been hosed since it called
verify_chain(chain, NULL) which always returns success. As a result
readers could in theory race with truncate. On the other hand the race
probably cannot happen with the current locking scheme, since by the
time ext3_truncate() is called all the pages are already removed and
hence get_block() shouldn't be called on such pages...

One of our users is complaining that his backup tool is upset on ext2
(while it's happy on ext3, xfs, ...) because of the mtime change.
The problem is:
mkdir foo
mkdir bar
mkdir foo/a
Now under ext2:
mv foo/a foo/b
changes mtime of 'foo/a' (foo/b after the move). That does not really
make sense and it does not happen under any other filesystem I've seen.
More complicated is:
mv foo/a bar/a
This changes mtime of foo/a (bar/a after the move) and it makes some
sense since we had to update parent directory pointer of foo/a. But
again, no other filesystem does this. So after some thoughts I'd vote
for consistency and change ext2 to behave the same as other filesystems.
Do not update mtime of a moved directory. Specs don't say anything
about it (neither that it should, nor that it should not be updated) and
other common filesystems (ext3, ext4, xfs, reiserfs, fat, ...) don't do
it. So let's become more consistent.

This fixes a regression in 2.6.30.
I unfortunately accepted a patch time ago, to drop the "current" usage
from possible IRQ context, w/out proper thought over it. The patch
switched to using the CPU id by bounding the nested call callback with a
get_cpu()/put_cpu().
Unfortunately the ep_call_nested() function can be called with a callback
that grabs sleepy locks (from own f_op->poll()), that results in epic
fails. The following patch uses the proper "context" depending on the
path where it is called, and on the kind of callback.
This has been reported by Stefan Richter, that has also verified the patch
is his previously failing environment.

for each CPU like /proc/interrupts.
2. /proc/stat
Add the "softirq" line to /proc/stat.
This line shows the number of softirq for all cpu.
The first column is the total of all softirqs and
each subsequent column is the total for particular softirq.

If a filesystem supports POSIX ACL's, the VFS layer expects the filesystem
to do POSIX ACL checks on any files not owned by the caller, and it does
this for every single pathname component that it looks up.
That obviously can be pretty expensive if the filesystem isn't careful
about it, especially with locking. That's doubly sad, since the common
case tends to be that there are no ACL's associated with the files in
question.
ext4 already caches the ACL data so that it doesn't have to look it up
over and over again, but it does so by taking the inode->i_lock spinlock
on every lookup. Which is a noticeable overhead even if it's a private
lock, especially on CPU's where the serialization is expensive (eg Intel
Netburst aka 'P4').
For the special case of not actually having any ACL's, all that locking is
unnecessary. Even if somebody else were to be changing the ACL's on
another CPU, we simply don't care - if we've seen a NULL ACL, we might as
well use it.
So just load the ACL speculatively without any locking, and if it was
NULL, just use it. If it's non-NULL (either because we had a cached
entry, or because the cache hasn't been filled in at all), it means that
we'll need to get the lock and re-load it properly.
(This commit was ported from a patch originally authored by Linus for
ext3.)

This is noticeable even on Nehalem, which does locking quite well (much
better than P4). From lmbench:

where you can see what appears to be a roughly 3% improvement in stat
and open/close latencies from just the removal of the locking overhead.
Of course, this only matters for files you don't own (the owner never
needs to do the ACL checks), but that's the common case for libraries,
header files, and executables. As well as for the base components of any
absolute pathname, even if you are the owner of the final file.
[ At some point we probably want to move this ACL caching logic entirely
into the VFS layer (and only call down to the filesystem when
uncached), but in the meantime this improves ext3 a bit.
A similar fix to btrfs makes a much bigger difference (15x improvement
in lmbench) due to broken caching. ]

Authentication error abort codes should be translated to appropriate
Linux error codes, rather than all being translated to EREMOTEIO - which
indicates that the server had internal problems.
Additionally, a server shouldn't be marked unavailable and the next
server tried if an authentication error occurs. This will quickly make
all the servers unavailable to the client. Instead the error should be
returned straight to the user.

put_cpu_no_resched() is an optimization of put_cpu() which unfortunately
can cause high latencies.
The nfs iostats code uses put_cpu_no_resched() in a code sequence where a
reschedule request caused by an interrupt between the get_cpu() and the
put_cpu_no_resched() can delay the reschedule for at least HZ.
The other users of put_cpu_no_resched() optimize correctly in interrupt
code, but there is no real harm in using the put_cpu() function which is
an alias for preempt_enable(). The extra check of the preemmpt count is
not as critical as the potential source of missing a reschedule.
Debugged in the preempt-rt tree and verified in mainline.
Impact: remove a high latency source

After introduction of keyed wakeups Davide Libenzi did on epoll, we are
able to avoid spurious wakeups in poll()/select() code too.
For example, typical use of poll()/select() is to wait for incoming
network frames on many sockets. But TX completion for UDP/TCP frames call
sock_wfree() which in turn schedules thread.
When scheduled, thread does a full scan of all polled fds and can sleep
again, because nothing is really available. If number of fds is large,
this cause significant load.
This patch makes select()/poll() aware of keyed wakeups and useless
wakeups are avoided. This reduces number of context switches by about 50%
on some setups, and work performed by sofirq handlers.

I_CLEAR between the clear of I_SYNC and the test of I_FREEING.
2) skip I_WILL_FREE inodes in generic_sync_sb_inodes() to avoid possible
races with generic_forget_inode()
generic_forget_inode() sets I_WILL_FREE call writeback on its own, so
generic_sync_sb_inodes() shall not try to step in and create possible races:
generic_forget_inode
inode->i_state |= I_WILL_FREE;
spin_unlock(&inode_lock);
generic_sync_sb_inodes()
spin_lock(&inode_lock);
__iget(inode);
__writeback_single_inode
// see non zero i_count
may WARN here ==> WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_WILL_FREE);
spin_unlock(&inode_lock);
may call generic_forget_inode again ==> iput(inode);
The above race and warning didn't turn up because writeback_inodes() holds
the s_umount lock, so generic_forget_inode() finds MS_ACTIVE and returns
early. But we are not sure the UBIFS calls and future callers will
guarantee that. So skip I_WILL_FREE inodes for the sake of safety.

Remove __invalidate_mapping_pages atomic variant now that its sole caller
can sleep (fixed in eccb95cee4f0d56faa46ef22fb94dd4a3578d3eb ("vfs: fix
lock inversion in drop_pagecache_sb()")).
This fixes softlockups that can occur while in the drop_caches path.

The per-task oom_adj value is a characteristic of its mm more than the
task itself since it's not possible to oom kill any thread that shares the
mm. If a task were to be killed while attached to an mm that could not be
freed because another thread were set to OOM_DISABLE, it would have
needlessly been terminated since there is no potential for future memory
freeing.
This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from
struct task_struct to struct mm_struct. This requires task_lock() on a
task to check its oom_adj value to protect against exec, but it's already
necessary to take the lock when dereferencing the mm to find the total VM
size for the badness heuristic.
This fixes a livelock if the oom killer chooses a task and another thread
sharing the same memory has an oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE. This occurs
because oom_kill_task() repeatedly returns 1 and refuses to kill the
chosen task while select_bad_process() will repeatedly choose the same
task during the next retry.
Taking task_lock() in select_bad_process() to check for OOM_DISABLE and in
oom_kill_task() to check for threads sharing the same memory will be
removed in the next patch in this series where it will no longer be
necessary.
Writing to /proc/pid/oom_adj for a kthread will now return -EINVAL since
these threads are immune from oom killing already. They simply report an
oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE.

12. KPF_ANON (pseudo flag) memory mapped page (anonymous)
13. KPF_SWAPCACHE page is in swap cache
14. KPF_SWAPBACKED page is swap/RAM backed
15. KPF_COMPOUND_HEAD (*)
16. KPF_COMPOUND_TAIL (*)
17. KPF_HUGE hugeTLB pages
18. KPF_UNEVICTABLE page is in the unevictable LRU list
19. KPF_HWPOISON(TBD) hardware detected corruption
20. KPF_NOPAGE (pseudo flag) no page frame at the address
32-39. more obscure flags for kernel developers
(*) For compound pages, exporting _both_ head/tail info enables
users to tell where a compound page starts/ends, and its order.
The accompanying page-types tool will handle the details like decoupling
overloaded flags and hiding obscure flags to normal users.

A series of patches to enhance the /proc/pagemap interface and to add a
userspace executable which can be used to present the pagemap data.
Export 10 more flags to end users (and more for kernel developers):
11. KPF_MMAP (pseudo flag) memory mapped page
12. KPF_ANON (pseudo flag) memory mapped page (anonymous)
13. KPF_SWAPCACHE page is in swap cache
14. KPF_SWAPBACKED page is swap/RAM backed
15. KPF_COMPOUND_HEAD (*)
16. KPF_COMPOUND_TAIL (*)
17. KPF_HUGE hugeTLB pages
18. KPF_UNEVICTABLE page is in the unevictable LRU list
19. KPF_HWPOISON hardware detected corruption
20. KPF_NOPAGE (pseudo flag) no page frame at the address

send_sigio_to_task() reads fown->signum several times, we can race with
F_SETSIG which changes ->signum lockless. In theory, this can fool
security checks or we can call group_send_sig_info() with the wrong
->si_signo which does not match "int sig".
Change the code to cache ->signum.

Shift current_cred() from __f_setown() to f_modown(). This reduces
the number of arguments and saves 48 bytes from fs/fcntl.o.
[ Note: this doesn't clear euid/uid when pid is set to NULL. But if
f_owner.pid == NULL we never use f_owner.uid/euid. Otherwise we'd
have a bug anyway: we must not send signals if pid was reset to NULL. ]
