inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex).
Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle
->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
"The first vfs pile, with deep apologies for being very late in this
window.
Assorted cleanups and fixes, plus a large preparatory part of iov_iter
work. There's a lot more of that, but it'll probably go into the next
merge window - it *does* shape up nicely, removes a lot of
boilerplate, gets rid of locking inconsistencie between aio_write and
splice_write and I hope to get Kent's direct-io rewrite merged into
the same queue, but some of the stuff after this point is having
(mostly trivial) conflicts with the things already merged into
mainline and with some I want more testing.
This one passes LTP and xfstests without regressions, in addition to
usual beating. BTW, readahead02 in ltp syscalls testsuite has started
giving failures since "mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for
memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages" - might be a false
positive, might be a real regression..."

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
that don't really have a specific maintainer.

Currently remove_buf_file callback is called from from kobject
release method. This result in follow issue:
# blktrace -d /dev/sda1 -d /dev/sda -o test
blktrace_setup()
dir = create_dir()
rchan = relay_open(dir,...)
->create_buf_file_callback
buf_file = debugfs_create_file(dir, )
Userspace will open buf_file.
Later we make a decision to stop tracing
blktrace_down()
relay_close(rhcan) /* just decrement kobj reference */
/* since it is not zero then callback not called */
debugfs_remove(dir) /* FAIL due to non empty dir */
Later user space will close the file and file will be deleted,
but directory still exist.
user_space_close()
->file_release
->release_buf_file_callback
->debugfs_remove(buf_file
## TESTCASE:
# blktrace -d /dev/sda1 -d /dev/sda -o test
# After that blktrace infrastructure will remain broken in
# an unusable state so: blktrace -d /dev/sda1 will not work.
In fact this is general issue, blktrace is just one of examples.
We can not reliably remove parent dir until all users close the
buf_file.
Solution: We don't have to wait that long. File should be deleted inside
relay_close_buf().

Dave Jones reported a kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3474! triggered
by splice_shrink_spd() called from vmsplice_to_pipe()
commit 35f3d14dbbc5 (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes)
added capability to adjust pipe->buffers.
Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers
doesn't change for their duration.
Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and
use it in place of pipe->buffers where appropriate.
splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.

vmalloc and memset
We can optimize kernel/relay.c::relay_alloc_page_array() slightly by
using vzalloc. The patch makes these changes:
- use vzalloc instead of vmalloc+memset.
- remove redundant local variable 'array'.
- declare local 'pa_size' as const.
Cuts down nicely on both source and object-code size.

Impact: new timer API
Based on an idea from Martin Josefsson with the help of
Patrick McHardy and Stephen Hemminger:
introduce the mod_timer_pending() API which is a mod_timer()
offspring that is an invariant on already removed timers.
(regular mod_timer() re-activates non-pending timers.)
This is useful for the networking code in that it can
allow unserialized mod_timer_pending() timer-forwarding
calls, but a single del_timer*() will stop the timer
from being reactivated again.
Also while at it:
- optimize the regular mod_timer() path some more, the
timer-stat and a debug check was needlessly duplicated
in __mod_timer().
- make the exports come straight after the function, as
most other exports in timer.c already did.
- eliminate __mod_timer() as an external API, change the
users to mod_timer().
The regular mod_timer() code path is not impacted
significantly, due to inlining optimizations and due to
the simplifications.

In relay's current read implementation, if the buffer is completely full
but hasn't triggered the buffer-full condition (i.e. the last write
didn't cross the subbuffer boundary) and the last subbuffer is exactly
full, the subbuffer accounting code erroneously finds nothing available.
This patch fixes the problem.

Allows one to create and use a channel with no associated files. Files
can be initialized later. This is useful in scenarios such as logging in
early code, before VFS is up. Therefore, such channels can be created and
used as soon as kmem_cache_init() completed.
This is needed by kmemtrace to do tracing in early kernel code.

Coverity spotted what looks like a real possible case of using a variable
after it has been freed. The problem is in
kernel/relay.c::relay_open_buf()
If the code hits "goto free_buf;" it ends up in this code :
free_buf:
relay_destroy_buf(buf); <--- calls kfree() on 'buf'.
free_name:
kfree(tmpname);
end:
return buf; <-- use after free of 'buf'.
I read through the callers and they all handle a NULL return from this
function as an error (and hitting the 'free_buf' label only happens on
failure to chan->cb->create_buf_file(), so that looks like a clear error to
me).
The patch simply sets 'buf' to NULL after the call to
relay_destroy_buf(buf); - as far as I can see that should take care of the
problem.
The patch also corrects a reference to a documentation file while
I was at it.
Note from Mathieu: the documentation reference change should have been
done in a separate patch, but I guess no one will really care.
