Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.
This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

Introduce is_owner_or_cap() macro in fs.h, and convert over relevant
users to it. This is done because we want to avoid bugs in the future
where we check for only effective fsuid of the current task against a
file's owning uid, without simultaneously checking for CAP_FOWNER as
well, thus violating its semantics.
[ XFS uses special macros and structures, and in general looked ...
untouchable, so we leave it alone -- but it has been looked over. ]
The (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid) check in generic_permission() and
exec_permission_lite() is left alone, because those operations are
covered by CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH. Similarly operations
falling under the purview of CAP_CHOWN and CAP_LEASE are also left alone.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

An xattr_datum which ends up orphaned should be freed by the GC
thread. But if we umount before the GC thread is finished, or if we
mount read-only and the GC thread never runs, they might never be
freed. Clean them up during unmount, if there are any left.

When we cannot mark nodes as obsolete, such as on NAND flash, we end up
having to delete inodes with !nlink in jffs2_build_remove_unlinked_inode().
However, jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem() runs later than this, and will
attach an xref to the dead inode. Then later when the last nodes of that
dead inode are erased we hit a BUG() in jffs2_del_ino_cache()
because we're not supposed to get there with an xattr still attached to
the inode which is being killed.
The simple fix is to refrain from attaching xattrs to inodes with zero
nlink, in jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem(). It's it's OK to trust nlink
here because the file system isn't actually mounted yet, so there's no
chance that a zero-nlink file could actually be alive still because
it's open.

I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by
SLAB.
I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.
I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free. That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.
Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code
in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree).
There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.
This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

We attempted to insert new nodes into the tree by just using
rb_replace_node to let them replace an earlier node which they
completely overlapped. However, that could place the new node into the
wrong place in the tree, since its start could be node only before the
start of the victim, but before the node _before_ the victim in the tree
(if that previous node actually ends _after_ the new node, thus isn't
entirely overlapped and wasn't itself chosen to be the victim).

The original code would remember, during the first pass over the tree,
a suitable place to start the insertion from when we eventually come
to add a new node.
The optimisation was broken, and we sometimes ended up inserting a new
node in the wrong place because we started the insertion from the wrong
point.
Just ditch the optimisation and start the insertion from the root of the
tree, for now. I'll try it again when I'm feeling cleverer.

We originally used to read every node and allocate a jffs2_tmp_dnode_info
structure for each, before processing them in (reverse) version order
and discarding the ones which are obsoleted by later nodes.
With huge logfiles, this behaviour caused memory problems. For example, a
file involved in OLPC trac #1292 has 1822391 nodes, and would cause the XO
machine to run out of memory during the first stage of read_inode().
Instead of just inserting nodes into a tree in version order as we find
them, we now put them into a tree in order of their offset within the
file, which allows us to immediately discard nodes which are completely
obsoleted.
We don't use a full tree with 'fragments' pointing to the real data
structure, as we do in the normal fragtree. We sort only on the start
address, and add an 'overlapped' flag to the tmp_dnode_info to indicate
that the node in question is (partially) overlapped by another.
When the scan is complete, we start at the end of the file, adding each
node to a real fragtree as before. Where the node is non-overlapped, we
just add it (it doesn't matter that it's not the latest version; there is
no overlap). When the node at the end of the tree _is_ overlapped, we sort
it and all its overlapping nodes into version order and then add them to
the fragtree in that order.
This 'early discard' reduces the peak allocation of tmp_dnode_info
structures from 1.8M to a mere 62872 (3.5%) in the degenerate case
referenced above.
This version of the patch also correctly rememembers the highest node
version# seen for an inode when it's scanned.

We should never find the unchecked size is non-zero after we've finished
checking all inodes. If it happens, used to BUG(), leaving the alloc_sem
held and deadlocking. Instead, just return -ENOSPC after complaining. The

the file system should be unmountable.

In read inode we have an optimization which prevents one
min. I/O unit (e.g. NAND page) to be read more then once.
Namely, at the beginning we do not know which node type we read,
so we read so we assume we read the directory entry, because it
has the smallest node header. When we read it, we read up to the
next min. I/O unit, just because if later we'll need to read more,
we already have this data.
If it turns out to be that the node is not directory entry, and
we need more data, and we did not read it because it sits in the
next min. I/O unit, we read the whole next (or several next)
min. I/O unit(s). And if it happens to be that we read a data node,
and we've read part of its data, we calculate partial CRC.
So if later we need to check data CRC, we'll only read the rest
of the data from further min. I/O units and continue CRC checking.
This code was a bit messy and buggy. The bug was that it assumed
relatively large min. I/O unit, so that the largest node header
could overlap only one min. I/O unit boundary.
This parch clean-ups the code a bit and fixes this bug.
The patch was not tested on flash with small min. I/O unit, like
NOR-ECC, nut it was tested on NAND with 512 bytes NAND page, so
it at least does not break NAND. It was also tested with mtdram
so it should not break NOR.

After a write error, any data in the write buffer must
be relocated. This is handled by the jffs2_wbuf_recover
function. This function does not fix up the erase block
summary information that is collected for writing at the
end of the block, which results in an incorrect summary
(or BUG if the summary was found to be empty).
As the summary is not essential (it is an optimisation),
it may be disabled for the current erase block when this

The garbage collection thread is strictly an optimisation. Everything it
does would also be done just-in-time in the context of something in
userspace trying to access the file system.
Sometimes, however, it's a pessimisation. Especially during early boot
when it's checksumming nodes and scanning inodes which are shortly going
to be pulled in by read_inode anyway. We end up building the rbtree of
node coverage twice for the same inode.
By switching to yield() instead of cond_resched() in the main loop, we
observe boot times on the OLPC system going down from about 100 seconds to
60.

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Nowadays MTD supports an MTD_OOB_AUTO option which allows users
to access free bytes in NAND's OOB as a contiguous buffer, although
it may be highly discontinuous.
This patch teaches JFFS2 to use this nice feature instead of the
old MTD_OOB_PLACE option. This for example caused problems with
OneNAND. Now JFFS2 does not care how are the free bytes situated.
This may change position of the clean marker on some flashes,
but this is not a problem. JFFS2 will just re-erase the empty
eraseblocks and write the new (correct) clean marker.
