<title>mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache</title>

<id>urn:sha1:91b0abe36a7b2b3b02d7500925a5f8455334f0e5</id>
<content type='text'>
Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.

Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

<id>urn:sha1:02b9984d640873b7b3809e63f81a0d7e13496886</id>
<content type='text'>
Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the
file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied,
unconditional syncfs().  This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly
documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful,
except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting
remounted read-only.

However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are
actually depending on this behavior.  In most file systems, it's
probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from
read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is
not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something
like romfs).

<title>ext2/3: use prandom_u32() instead of get_random_bytes()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e878167af92fda03eb3a8597eec24128d4d47c43</id>
<content type='text'>
Many of the uses of get_random_bytes() do not actually need
cryptographically secure random numbers.  Replace those uses with a
call to prandom_u32(), which is faster and which doesn't consume
entropy from the /dev/random driver.

The commit dd1f723bf56bd96efc9d90e9e60dc511c79de48f has made that for
ext4, and i did the same for ext2/3.

Mark function as static in ext2/xattr_security.c because it is not
used outside this file.

This also elimiantes the following warning in ext2/xattr_security.c:
fs/ext2/xattr_security.c:45:5: warning: no previous prototype for ‘ext2_initxattrs’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]
