dlm: fix QUECVT when convert queue is empty

The QUECVT flag should not prevent conversions from
being granted immediately when the convert queue is
empty.

it's always current->mm

... since exit_mmap() is coming and it will munmap() everything anyway.
In all other cases aio_free_ring() has ctx->mm == current->mm; moreover,
all other callers of vm_munmap() have mm == current->mm, so this will
allow us to get rid of mm argument of vm_munmap().

This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap():
vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the
required VM locking.
This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly
duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c. But that way we don't have
to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function.
Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all
modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead. We're actually
very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken)
use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

Like the vm_brk() function, this is the same as "do_munmap()", except it
does the VM locking for the caller.

It does the same thing as "do_brk()", except it handles the VM locking
too.
It turns out that all external callers want that anyway, so we can make
do_brk() static to just mm/mmap.c while at it.

Pull ext4 regression fixes from Ted Ts'o:
"This fixes a scalability problem reported by Andi Kleen and Tim Chen;
they were quite secretive about the precise nature of their workload,
but they later admitted that it only showed up when they were using a
large sparse file, so the amount of data I/O that was needed was close
to zero.
I'm not sure how realistic this is and it's only a regression if you
consider changes made since 2.6.39 to be a "regression" vis-a-vis the
policy regarding post-merge window bug fixes, but Linus agreed it was
worth fixing, so I'm including it in this pull request.
This also fixes the journalled quota mount options, which I
accidentally broke while I was cleaning up the mount option handling."

The function kstrtoul() used to parse number strings in the mount
option parser is set to expect a base 10 number . This treats the octal

leading to incorrect behavior.

A user reported that booting his box up with btrfs root on 3.4 was way
slower than on 3.3 because I removed the ideal caching code. It turns out
that we don't load the free space cache if we're in a commit for deadlock
reasons, but since we're reading the cache and it hasn't changed yet we are
safe reading the inode and free space item from the commit root, so do that
and remove all of the deadlock checks so we don't unnecessarily skip loading
the free space cache. The user reported this fixed the slowness. Thanks,

returns 0 on UP kernels, which caused assert in get_restripe_target() to

Allow a v3 unchecked open of a non-regular file succeed as if it were a
lookup; typically a client in such a case will want to fall back on a
local open, so succeeding and giving it the filehandle is more useful
than failing with nfserr_exist, which makes it appear that nothing at
all exists by that name.
Similarly for v4, on an open-create, return the same errors we would on
an attempt to open a non-regular file, instead of returning
nfserr_exist.
This fixes a problem found doing a v4 open of a symlink with
O_RDONLY|O_CREAT, which resulted in the current client returning EEXIST.
Thanks also to Trond for analysis.

In scsi at least two cases of the parent device being deleted before the
child is added have been observed.
1/ scsi is performing async scans and the device is removed prior to the
async can thread running (can happen with an in-opportune / unlikely
unplug during initial scan).
2/ libsas discovery event running after the parent port has been torn
down (this is a bug in libsas).
Result in crash signatures like:

In this scenario the parent is still valid (because we have a
reference), but it has been device_del()'d which means its kobj->sd
pointer is NULL'd via:
device_del()->kobject_del()->sysfs_remove_dir()
...and then sysfs_create_dir() (without this fix) goes ahead and
de-references parent_sd via sysfs_ns_type():
return (sd->s_flags & SYSFS_NS_TYPE_MASK) >> SYSFS_NS_TYPE_SHIFT;
This scenario is being fixed in scsi/libsas, but if other subsystems
present the same ordering the system need not immediately crash.

This patch allows caching of the rindex glock. We were previously
setting the GL_NOCACHE bit when the glock was released. That forced
the rindex inode to be invalidated, which caused us to re-read
rindex at the next access. However, it caused the glock to be
unnecessarily bounced around the cluster. This patch allows
the glock to remain cached, but it still causes the rindex to be
re-read once it has been written to by gfs2_grow.
Ben and I have tested single-node gfs2_grow cases and I've tested
clustered gfs2_grow cases on my four-node cluster.

d_genocide() does _not_ evict dentries; it just removes extra ref
pinning each of those. Normally it's followed by shrinking the
tree (it's done just before generic_shutdown_super() by kill_litter_super()),
but in case of simple_fill_super() nothing of that kind will follow.
Just do shrink_dcache_parent() manually.

I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
them. This is preparation for that.
This moves them into an architecture-specific header file. It's
architecture-specific for two reasons:
- some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
implementations. Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
bit count instruction, for example.
- I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
particular the actual unaligned accesses). So we're likely to have
more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
this.
(and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
right thing to do, of course)

missed in large dumps.
Fix from Eric Dumazet.
11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it
invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't. Let the natural sequence
generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE
settings, guide the tcp_push() calls.
Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch
effectively into GSO/TSO clusters.
From Eric Dumazet.
12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a
socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we
cannot touch it after queueing it like that.
Fixes from Eric Dumazet.
13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it
immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer
to transmit the PPP frame.
But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the
TX queue right before returning from the transmit method.
Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should
only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.
David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until
it's downstream can't take data any more.
14) IFF_UNICAST_FLT got accidently lost in some recent stmmac driver
changes, re-add. From Marc Kleine-Budde.
15) Fix link flaps in ixgbe, from Eric W. Multanen.
16) Descriptor writeback fixes in e1000e from Matthew Vick.

commit 2f533844242 (tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packets) added
a regression for splice() calls using SPLICE_F_MORE.
We need to call tcp_flush() at the end of the last page processed in
tcp_sendpages(), or else transmits can be deferred and future sends
stall.
Add a new internal flag, MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, acting like MSG_MORE, but
with different semantic.
For all sendpage() providers, its a transparent change. Only
sock_sendpage() and tcp_sendpages() can differentiate the two different
flags provided by pipe_to_sendpage()
