Fixed up trivial conflicts:
- arch/x86/include/asm/socket.h
converted to <asm-generic/socket.h> in the x86 tree. The generic
header has the same new #define's, so that works out fine.
- drivers/net/tun.c
fix conflict between 89f56d1e9 ("tun: reuse struct sock fields") that
switched over to using 'tun->socket.sk' instead of the redundantly
available (and thus removed) 'tun->sk', and 2b980dbd ("lsm: Add hooks
to the TUN driver") which added a new 'tun->sk' use.

Actually, nilfs is NOT a filesystem came from other operating systems,
but a filesystem created purely for Linux. Nor is it a flash
filesystem but that for generic block devices.
So, this moves nilfs outside the misc category as I responded in LKML
"Re: Why does NILFS2 hide under Miscellaneous filesystems?"

The nilfs_bmap_lookup() is now a wrapper function of
nilfs_bmap_lookup_at_level().
This moves the nilfs_bmap_lookup() to a header file converting it to
an inline function and gives an opportunity for optimization.

The current btree code is written so that btree functions call dat
operations via wrapper functions in bmap.c when they allocate, free,
or modify virtual block addresses.
This abstraction requires additional function calls and causes
frequent call of nilfs_bmap_get_dat() function since it is used in the
every wrapper function.
This removes the wrapper functions and makes them available from
btree.c and direct.c, which will increase the opportunity of
compiler optimization.

This is a preparation for the successive cleanup ("nilfs2: allow btree

This adds functions bundling a few operations to change an entry of
virtual block address on the dat file.

Even though many btree functions take a btree object as their first
argument, most of them are not used in their functions.
This sticky use of the btree argument is hurting code readability and
giving the possibility of inefficient code generation.
So, this removes the unnecessary btree arguments.

This is a re-revised patch to shorten freeze period.
This version include a fix of the bug Konishi-san mentioned last time.
When GC is runnning, GC moves live block to difference segments.
Copying live blocks into memory is done in a transaction,
however it is not necessarily to be in the transaction.
This patch will get the nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() out from
transaction lock and put it before the transaction.
I ran sysbench fileio test against nilfs partition.
I copied some DVD/CD images and created snapshot to create live blocks
before starting the benchmark.
Followings are summary of rc8 and rc8 w/ the patch of per-request
statistics, which is min/max and avg. I ran each test three times and
bellow is average of those numers.
According to this benchmark result, average time is slightly degrated.
However, worstcase (max) result is significantly improved.
This can address a few seconds write freeze.

This removes nilfs_write_super and commit super block in nilfs
internal thread, instead of periodic write_super callback.
VFS layer calls ->write_super callback periodically. However,
it looks like that calling back is ommited when disk I/O is busy.
And when cleanerd (nilfs GC) is runnig, disk I/O tend to be busy thus
nilfs superblock is not synchronized as nilfs designed.
To avoid it, syncing superblock by nilfs thread instead of pdflush.

This fixes disorder of nilfs_write_super in nilfs_sync_fs. Commiting
super block must be the end of the function so that every changes are
reflected.
->sync_fs() is not called frequently so this makes nilfs_sync_fs call

This removes redundant super block commit.
nilfs_write_super will call nilfs_commit_super to store super block
into block device. However, nilfs_put_super will call
nilfs_commit_super right after calling nilfs_write_super. So calling
nilfs_write_super in nilfs_put_super would be redundant.

The current metadata file code skips disk address lookup for its data
block if the buffer has a mapped flag.
This has a potential risk to cause read request to be performed
against the stale block address that GC moved, and it may lead to meta
data corruption. The mapped flag is safe if the buffer has an
uptodate flag, otherwise it may prevent necessary update of disk
address in the next read.
This will avoid the potential problem by ensuring disk address lookup
before reading metadata block even for buffers with the mapped flag.

will get rid of nilfs_get_writer() and nilfs_put_writer() pair used to
retain a writable FS-instance for a period.
The pair functions were making up some kind of recursive lock with a
mutex, but they became overkill since the commit
201913ed746c7724a40d33ee5a0b6a1fd2ef3193. Furthermore, they caused
the following lockdep warning because the mutex can be released by a

This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning.
pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more
threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a
non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy
behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved
for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that
does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive
during the benchmark phase. File layout also seems a LOT more smooth in
vmstat:

A 10 disk test with btrfs performs 26% faster with per-bdi flushing. A
SSD based writeback test on XFS performs over 20% better as well, with
the throughput being very stable around 1GB/sec, where pdflush only
manages 750MB/sec and fluctuates wildly while doing so. Random buffered
writes to many files behave a lot better as well, as does random mmap'ed
writes.
A separate thread is added to sync the super blocks. In the long term,
adding sync_supers_bdi() functionality could get rid of this thread again.

This is a first step at introducing per-bdi flusher threads. We should
have no change in behaviour, although sb_has_dirty_inodes() is now
ridiculously expensive, as there's no easy way to answer that question.
Not a huge problem, since it'll be deleted in subsequent patches.

This adds two new exported functions:
- writeback_inodes_sb(), which only attempts to writeback dirty inodes on
this super_block, for WB_SYNC_NONE writeout.
- sync_inodes_sb(), which writes out all dirty inodes on this super_block
and also waits for the IO to complete.

In fs/binfmt_elf.c, load_elf_interp() calls padzero() for .bss even if
the PT_LOAD has no PROT_WRITE and no .bss. This generates EFAULT.
Here is a small test case. (Yes, there are other, useful PT_INTERP
which have only .text and no .data/.bss.)
----- ptinterp.S
_start: .globl _start
nop
int3
-----
$ gcc -m32 -nostartfiles -nostdlib -o ptinterp ptinterp.S
$ gcc -m32 -Wl,--dynamic-linker=ptinterp -o hello hello.c
$ ./hello
Segmentation fault # during execve() itself
After applying the patch:
$ ./hello
Trace trap # user-mode execution after execve() finishes
If the ELF headers are actually self-inconsistent, then dying is fine.
But having no PROT_WRITE segment is perfectly normal and correct if
there is no segment with p_memsz > p_filesz (i.e. bss). John Reiser
suggested checking for PROT_WRITE in the bss logic. I think it makes
most sense to simply apply the bss logic only when there is bss.
This patch looks less trivial than it is due to some reindentation.
It just moves the "if (last_bss > elf_bss) {" test up to include the
partial-page bss logic as well as the more-pages bss logic.

This patch adds a setxattr handler to the file, directory, and symlink
inode_operations structures for sysfs. The patch uses hooks introduced in the
previous patch to handle the getting and setting of security information for
the sysfs inodes. As was suggested by Eric Biederman the struct iattr in the
sysfs_dirent structure has been replaced by a structure which contains the
iattr, secdata and secdata length to allow the changes to persist in the event
that the inode representing the sysfs_dirent is evicted. Because sysfs only
stores this information when a change is made all the optional data is moved
into one dynamically allocated field.
This patch addresses an issue where SELinux was denying virtd access to the PCI
configuration entries in sysfs. The lack of setxattr handlers for sysfs
required that a single label be assigned to all entries in sysfs. Granting virtd
access to every entry in sysfs is not an acceptable solution so fine grained
labeling of sysfs is required such that individual entries can be labeled
appropriately.

hook for inode_setsecctx.
This factors out the part of the vfs_setxattr function that performs the
setting of the xattr and its notification. This is needed so the SELinux
implementation of inode_setsecctx can handle the setting of the xattr while
maintaining the proper separation of layers.

The meaning of not specifying the "port=" mount option is different
for "-t nfs" and "-t nfs4" mounts. The default port value for
NFSv2/v3 mounts is 0, but the default for NFSv4 mounts is 2049.
To support "-t nfs -o vers=4", the mount option parser must detect
when "port=" is missing so that the correct default port value can be
set depending on which NFS version is requested.

Hi Trond,
Recently we were observing the behaviour difference between a 2.4.x and
2.6.x kernel with respect to O_EXCL. A comment from 2.4.x era, "For now,
we don't implement O_EXCL." seems inaccurate in TOT.
If so, here's a patch to remove the comment.
This patch is against:

This avoids an indirect call in the VFS for each path component lookup.
Well, at least as long as you own the directory in question, and the ACL
check is unnecessary.
