The mlock() facility does not exist for NOMMU since all mappings are
effectively locked anyway, so we don't make the bits available when
they're not useful.

x86 has debug_kmap_atomic_prot() which is error checking function for
kmap_atomic. It is usefull for the other architectures, although it needs
CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT.

Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
VM_FAULT_xxx flags. There should be no functional change.
This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to
the VM (and also can provide more information eg. virtual_address to the
driver, which might be important in some special cases).
This is required for a subsequent fix. And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

On PowerPC we allocate large boot time hashes on node 0. This leads to an
imbalance in the free memory, for example on a 64GB box (4 x 16GB nodes):
Free memory:
Node 0: 97.03%
Node 1: 98.54%
Node 2: 98.42%
Node 3: 98.53%
If we switch to using vmalloc (like ia64 and x86-64) things are more
balanced:
Free memory:
Node 0: 97.53%
Node 1: 98.35%
Node 2: 98.33%
Node 3: 98.33%
For many HPC applications we are limited by the free available memory on
the smallest node, so even though the same amount of memory is used the
better balancing helps.
Since all 64bit NUMA capable architectures should have sufficient vmalloc
space, it makes sense to enable it via CONFIG_64BIT.

Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9838
On i386, HZ=1000, jiffies_to_clock_t() converts time in a somewhat strange
way from the user's point of view:
# echo 500 >/proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
499
So, we have 5000 jiffies converted to only 499 clock ticks and reported
back.
TICK_NSEC = 999848
ACTHZ = 256039
Keeping in-kernel variable in units passed from userspace will fix issue
of course, but this probably won't be right for every sysctl.

CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and
s390. This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by
filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and
verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages().
This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but
invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and
invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

I notice there are many places doing copy_from_user() which follows
kmalloc():
dst = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!dst)
return -ENOMEM;
if (copy_from_user(dst, src, len)) {
kfree(dst);
return -EFAULT
}
memdup_user() is a wrapper of the above code. With this new function, we
don't have to write 'len' twice, which can lead to typos/mistakes. It
also produces smaller code and kernel text.
A quick grep shows 250+ places where memdup_user() *may* be used. I'll
prepare a patchset to do this conversion.

Impact: cleanup
In almost cases, for_each_zone() is used with populated_zone(). It's
because almost function doesn't need memoryless node information.

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

The radeonfb driver needs to program the device's PMCSR directly due
to some quirky hardware it has to handle (see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12846 for details) and
after doing that it needs to call the platform (usually ACPI) to
finish the power transition of the device. Currently it uses
pci_set_power_state() for this purpose, however making a specific
assumption about the internal behavior of this function, which has
changed recently so that this assumption is no longer satisfied.
For this reason, introduce __pci_complete_power_transition() that may
be called by the radeonfb driver to complete the power transition of
the device. For symmetry, introduce __pci_start_power_transition().

Introduce helper functions allowing us to prevent device drivers from
getting any interrupts (without disabling interrupts on the CPU)
during suspend (or hibernation) and to make them start to receive
interrupts again during the subsequent resume. These functions make it
possible to keep timer interrupts enabled while the "late" suspend and
"early" resume callbacks provided by device drivers are being
executed. In turn, this allows device drivers' "late" suspend and
"early" resume callbacks to sleep, execute ACPI callbacks etc.
The functions introduced here will be used to rework the handling of
interrupts during suspend (hibernation) and resume. Namely,
interrupts will only be disabled on the CPU right before suspending
sysdevs, while device drivers will be prevented from receiving
interrupts, with the help of the new helper function, before their
"late" suspend callbacks run (and analogously during resume).

The current reiserfs xattr implementation open codes reiserfs_readdir
and frees the path before calling the filldir function. Typically, the
filldir function is something that modifies the file system, such as a
chown or an inode deletion that also require reading of an inode
associated with each direntry. Since the file system is modified, the
path retained becomes invalid for the next run. In addition, it runs
backwards in attempt to minimize activity.
This is clearly suboptimal from a code cleanliness perspective as well
as performance-wise.
This patch implements a generic reiserfs_for_each_xattr that uses the
generic readdir and a specific filldir routine that simply populates an
array of dentries and then performs a specific operation on them. When
all files have been operated on, it then calls the operation on the
directory itself.
The result is a noticable code reduction and better performance.

Deadlocks are possible in the xattr code between the journal lock and the
xattr sems.
This patch implements journalling for xattr operations. The benefit is
twofold:
* It gets rid of the deadlock possibility by always ensuring that xattr
write operations are initiated inside a transaction.
* It corrects the problem where xattr backing files aren't considered any
differently than normal files, despite the fact they are metadata.
I discussed the added journal load with Chris Mason, and we decided that
since xattrs (versus other journal activity) is fairly rare, the introduction
of larger transactions to support journaled xattrs wouldn't be too big a deal.

Christoph Hellwig had asked me quite some time ago to port the reiserfs
xattrs to the generic xattr interface.
This patch replaces the reiserfs-specific xattr handling code with the
generic struct xattr_handler.
However, since reiserfs doesn't split the prefix and name when accessing
xattrs, it can't leverage generic_{set,get,list,remove}xattr without
needlessly reconstructing the name on the back end.
Update 7/26/07: Added missing dput() to deletion path.
Update 8/30/07: Added missing mark_inode_dirty when i_mode is used to
represent an ACL and no previous ACL existed.

The per-inode locking can be made more fine-grained to surround just the
interaction with the filesystem itself. This really only applies to
protecting reads during a write, since concurrent writes are barred with
inode->i_mutex at the vfs level.

With the switch to using inode->i_mutex locking during lookups/creation
in the xattr root, the per-super xattr lock is no longer needed.
This patch removes it.

The current reiserfs xattr implementation will not clean up old xattr
files if files are deleted when REISERFS_FS_XATTR is unset. This
results in inaccessible lost files, wasting space.
This patch compiles in basic xattr knowledge, such as how to delete them
and change ownership for quota tracking. If the file system has never
used xattrs, then the operation is quite fast: it returns immediately
when it sees there is no .reiserfs_priv directory.

There are a number of helper functions for marking a reiserfs inode
private that were leftover from reiserfs did its own thing wrt to
private inodes. S_PRIVATE has been in the kernel for some time, so this
patch removes the helpers and uses IS_PRIVATE instead.

Although reiserfs can currently handle severe errors such as journal failure,
it cannot handle less severe errors like metadata i/o failure. The following
patch adds a reiserfs_error() function akin to the one in ext3.
Subsequent patches will use this new error handler to handle errors more
gracefully in general.

This patch kills off reiserfs_journal_abort as it is never called, and
combines __reiserfs_journal_abort_{soft,hard} into one function called
reiserfs_abort_journal, which performs the same work. It is silent
as opposed to the old version, since the message was always issued
after a regular 'abort' message.

ReiserFS panics can be somewhat inconsistent.
In some cases:
* a unique identifier may be associated with it
* the function name may be included
* the device may be printed separately
This patch aims to make warnings more consistent. reiserfs_warning() prints
the device name, so printing it a second time is not required. The function
name for a warning is always helpful in debugging, so it is now automatically
inserted into the output. Hans has stated that every warning should have
a unique identifier. Some cases lack them, others really shouldn't have them.
reiserfs_warning() now expects an id associated with each message. In the
rare case where one isn't needed, "" will suffice.

uniqueness2type and type2uniquness issue a warning when the value is
unknown. When called from reiserfs_warning, this causes a re-entrancy
problem and deadlocks on the error buffer lock.

This patch makes leaf_paste_entries more consistent with respect to the
other leaf operations. Using buffer_info instead of buffer_head
directly allows us to get a superblock pointer for use in error

This patch fixes up the reiserfs code such that transaction ids are
always unsigned ints. In places they can currently be signed ints or
unsigned longs.
The former just causes an annoying clm-2200 warning and may join a
transaction when it should wait.
The latter is just for correctness since the disk format uses a 32-bit
transaction id. There aren't any runtime problems that result from it
not wrapping at the correct location since the value is truncated
correctly even on big endian systems. The 0 value might make it to
disk, but the mount-time checks will bump it to 10 itself.
