- Calculate a variable in bvec_alloc_bs() only once needed, not earlier
  (bio.o down from 18408 to 18376 Bytes, 32 Bytes saved, probably due to
  data locality improvements).

- Init variable idx to silence a gcc warning which already existed in the
  unmodified original base file (bvec_alloc_bs() handles idx correctly, so
  there's no need for the warning):

David Howells c636ebdb18 [PATCH] VFS: Destroy the dentries contributed by a superblock on unmounting
The attached patch destroys all the dentries attached to a superblock in one go
by:

 (1) Destroying the tree rooted at s_root.

 (2) Destroying every entry in the anon list, one at a time.

 (3) Each entry in the anon list has its subtree consumed from the leaves
     inwards.

This reduces the amount of work generic_shutdown_super() does, and avoids
iterating through the dentry_unused list.

Note that locking is almost entirely absent in the shrink_dcache_for_umount*()
functions added by this patch.  This is because:

 (1) at the point the filesystem calls generic_shutdown_super(), it is not
     permitted to further touch the superblock's set of dentries, and nor may
     it remove aliases from inodes;

 (2) the dcache memory shrinker now skips dentries that are being unmounted;
     and

 (3) the superblock no longer has any external references through which the VFS
     can reach it.

Given these points, the only locking we need to do is when we remove dentries
from the unused list and the name hashes, which we do a directory's worth at a
time.

We also don't need to guard against reference counts going to zero unexpectedly
and removing bits of the tree we're working on as nothing else can call dput().

A cut down version of dentry_iput() has been folded into
shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree() function.  Apart from not needing to unlock
things, it also doesn't need to check for inotify watches.

In this version of the patch, the complaint about a dentry still being in use
has been expanded from a single BUG_ON() and now gives much more information.

David Howells 6ce315234a [PATCH] AUTOFS: Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_anon_super()
Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_anon_super() so
that the assumption that generic_shutdown_super() can completely destroy the
dentry tree for there will be no external references holds true.

What was being done in the put_super() superblock op, is now done in the
kill_sb() filesystem op instead, prior to calling kill_anon_super().

This makes the struct autofs_sb_info::root member variable redundant (since
sb->s_root is still available), and so that is removed.  The calls to
shrink_dcache_sb() are also removed since they're also redundant as
shrink_dcache_for_umount() will now be called after the cleanup routine.

Randy Dunlap 272057447f [PATCH] kernel-doc: make parameter description indentation uniform
- In parameter descriptions, strip all whitespace between the parameter
  name (e.g., @len) and its description so that the description is
  indented uniformly in text and man page modes.  Previously, spaces
  or tabs (which are used for cleaner source code viewing) affected
  the produced output in a negative way.

Before (man mode):
       to            Destination address, in user space.
       from        Source address, in kernel space.
       n              Number of bytes to copy.

After (man mode):
       to          Destination address, in user space.
       from        Source address, in kernel space.
       n           Number of bytes to copy.

- Fix/clarify a few function description comments.

Ingo Molnar 256a6b4136 [PATCH] lockdep: fix printk recursion logic
Bug reported and fixed by Tilman Schmidt <tilman@imap.cc>: if lockdep is
enabled then log messages make it to /var/log/messages belatedly.  The
reason is a missed wakeup of klogd.

Initially there was only a lockdep_internal() protection against lockdep
recursion within vprintk() - it grew the 'outer' lockdep_off()/on()
protection only later on.  But that lockdep_off() made the
release_console_sem() within vprintk() always happen under the
lockdep_internal() condition, causing the bug.

The right solution to remove the inner protection against recursion here -
the outer one is enough.

Aneesh Kumar 5fcce7432a [PATCH] fix lockdep-design.txt
I was looking at lockdep-desing.txt and i guess i am confused with the
changes with respect to fd7bcea35e. It
says

+   '.'  acquired while irqs enabled
+   '+'  acquired in irq context
+   '-'  acquired in process context with irqs disabled
+   '?'  read-acquired both with irqs enabled and in irq context
+

But the get_usage_chars() function does this for '-'
 if (class->usage_mask & LOCKF_ENABLED_HARDIRQS)
                        *c1 = '-';

So i guess what would be correct would be
'.'  acquired while irqs disabled
'+'  acquired in irq context
'-'  acquired with irqs enabled
'?' read acquired in irq context with irqs enabled.

Trond Myklebust 887ed2f3ae [PATCH] VM: Fix the gfp_mask in invalidate_complete_page2
If try_to_release_page() is called with a zero gfp mask, then the
filesystem is effectively denied the possibility of sleeping while
attempting to release the page.  There doesn't appear to be any valid
reason why this should be banned, given that we're not calling this from a
memory allocation context.

For this reason, change the gfp_mask argument of the call to GFP_KERNEL.

Matthias Urlichs cd0810410b [PATCH] document the core-dump-to-a-pipe patch
The pipe-a-coredump-to-a-program feature was undocumented.
*Grumble*.

NB: a good enhancement to that patch would be: save all the stuff that a
core file can get from the %x expansions in the environment.

Reinette Chatre 01a3ee2b20 [PATCH] bitmap: parse input from kernel and user buffers
lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a
user buffer.  This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc
function of the /proc filesystem operates.

This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of
get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user().

We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the
buffer differently.  We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses
in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for
kernel and user.

This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking
input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel
buffers.  We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the
upcoming bandwidth allocator code.

Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.

Maciej W. Rozycki 39484e53bb [PATCH] 32-bit compatibility HDIO IOCTLs
A couple of HDIO IOCTLs are not yet handled and a few others are marked
as using a pointer rather than an unsigned long.  The formers include:

HDIO_GET_WCACHE, HDIO_GET_ACOUSTIC, HDIO_GET_ADDRESS and
HDIO_GET_BUSSTATE.  The latters are: HDIO_SET_MULTCOUNT,
HDIO_SET_UNMASKINTR, HDIO_SET_KEEPSETTINGS, HDIO_SET_32BIT,
HDIO_SET_NOWERR, HDIO_SET_DMA, HDIO_SET_PIO_MODE and HDIO_SET_NICE.

Additionally 0x330 used to be HDIO_GETGEO_BIG and may be issued by 32-bit
`hdparm' run on a 64-bit kernel making Linux complain loudly.

This is a fix for these issues.
