8867bc9bf0 [XFS] There are a few problems with the new
xfs_bmap_search_multi_extents() wrapper function that I introduced in mod
xfs-linux:xfs-kern:207393a. The function was added as a wrapper around
xfs_bmap_do_search_extents() to avoid breaking the top-of-tree CXFS
interface.  The idea of the function was basically to extract the target
extent buffer (if muli- level extent allocation mode), then call
xfs_bmap_do_search_extents() with either a pointer to the first extent in
the target buffer or a pointer to the first extent in the file, depending
on which extent mode was being used.  However, in addition to locating the
target extent record for block bno, xfs_bmap_do_search_extents() also sets
four parameters needed by the caller: *lastx, *eofp, *gotp, *prevp. 
Passing only the target extent buffer to xfs_bmap_do_search_extents()
causes *eofp to be set incorrectly if the extent is at the end of the
target list but there are actually more extents in the next er_extbuf.
Likewise, if the extent is the first one in the buffer but NOT the first
in the file, *prevp is incorrectly set to NULL.  Adding the needed
functionality to xfs_bmap_search_multi_extents() to re-set any incorrectly
set fields is redundant and makes the call to xfs_bmap_do_search_extents()
not make much sense when multi-level extent allocation mode is being used.
 This mod basically extracts the two functional components from
xfs_bmap_do_search_extents(), with the intent of obsoleting/removing
xfs_bmap_do_search_extents() after the CXFS mult-level in-core extent
changes are checked in.  The two components are:  1) The binary search to
locate the target extent record, and 2) Setting the four parameters needed
by the caller (*lastx, *eofp, *gotp, *prevp).  Component 1: I created a
new function in xfs_inode.c called xfs_iext_bno_to_ext(), which executes
the binary search to find the target extent record.
xfs_bmap_search_multi_extents() has been modified to call
xfs_iext_bno_to_ext() rather than xfs_bmap_do_search_extents().  Component
2: The parameter setting functionality has been added to
xfs_bmap_search_multi_extents(), eliminating the need for
xfs_bmap_do_search_extents().  These changes make the removal of
xfs_bmap_do_search_extents() trival once the CXFS changes are in place. 
They also allow us to maintain the current XFS interface, using the new
search function introduced in mod xfs-linux:xfs-kern:207393a.

0293ce3a9f [XFS] 929045 567344 This mod introduces multi-level in-core file extent
functionality, building upon the new layout introduced in mod
xfs-linux:xfs-kern:207390a.  The new multi-level extent allocations are
only required for heavily fragmented files, so the old-style linear extent
list is used on files until the extents reach a pre-determined size of 4k.
4k buffers are used because this is the system page size on Linux i386 and
systems with larger page sizes don't seem to gain much, if anything, by
using their native page size as the extent buffer size. Also, using 4k
extent buffers everywhere provides a consistent interface for CXFS across
different platforms.  The 4k extent buffers are managed by an indirection
array (xfs_ext_irec_t) which is basically just a pointer array with a bit
of extra information to keep track of the number of extents in each buffer
as well as the extent offset of each buffer.  Major changes include:  -
Add multi-level in-core file extent functionality to the xfs_iext_  
subroutines introduced in mod:	xfs-linux:xfs-kern:207390a  - Introduce 13
new subroutines which add functionality for multi-level   in-core file
extents:	 xfs_iext_add_indirect_multi()	      
xfs_iext_remove_indirect()	   xfs_iext_realloc_indirect()	      
xfs_iext_indirect_to_direct()	      xfs_iext_bno_to_irec()	    
xfs_iext_idx_to_irec()	       xfs_iext_irec_init()	   
xfs_iext_irec_new()	    xfs_iext_irec_remove()	  
xfs_iext_irec_compact() 	xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages()	     
xfs_iext_irec_compact_full()	     xfs_iext_irec_update_extoffs()

4eea22f01b [XFS] 929045 567344 This mod re-organizes some of the in-core file extent
code to prepare for an upcoming mod which will introduce multi-level
in-core extent allocations. Although the in-core extent management is
using a new code path in this mod, the functionality remains the same. 
Major changes include:	- Introduce 10 new subroutines which re-orgainze
the existing code but	do NOT change functionality:	    
xfs_iext_get_ext()	   xfs_iext_insert()	     xfs_iext_add()	  
 xfs_iext_remove()	   xfs_iext_remove_inline()	   
xfs_iext_remove_direct()	 xfs_iext_realloc_direct()	  
xfs_iext_direct_to_inline()	    xfs_iext_inline_to_direct()        
xfs_iext_destroy() - Remove 2 subroutines (functionality moved to new
subroutines above):	    xfs_iext_realloc() -replaced by xfs_iext_add()
and xfs_iext_remove()	      xfs_bmap_insert_exlist() - replaced by
xfs_iext_insert()	  xfs_bmap_delete_exlist() - replaced by
xfs_iext_remove() - Replace all hard-coded (indexed) extent assignments
with a call to	 xfs_iext_get_ext() - Replace all extent record pointer
arithmetic (ep++, ep--, base + lastx,..)   with calls to
xfs_iext_get_ext() - Update comments to remove the idea of a single
"extent list" and   introduce "extent record" terminology instead

Even though, we mount ext3 filesystem in writeback mode with "nobh" option,
some one can do "chattr +j" on a single file to force it to do journalled
mode.  In order to do journaling, ext3_block_truncate_page() need to

0adb25d2e7 [PATCH] ext3: ext3_symlink should use GFP_NOFS allocations inside
This patch fixes illegal __GFP_FS allocation inside ext3 transaction in
ext3_symlink().  Such allocation may re-enter ext3 code from
try_to_free_pages.  But JBD/ext3 code keeps a pointer to current journal
handle in task_struct and, hence, is not reentrable.

This bug led to "Assertion failure in journal_dirty_metadata()" messages.

0ef675d491 [PATCH] mtd: 64 bit fixes
Fix some bugs in mtd/jffs2 on 64bit platform.

The MEMGETBADBLOCK/MEMSETBADBLOCK ioctl are not listed in compat_ioctl.h.

And some variables in jffs2 are declared as uint32_t but used to hold
size_t values.

1efa3c05f8 [NET] compat ifconf: fix limits
A recent change to compat. dev_ifconf() in fs/compat_ioctl.c
causes ifconf data to be truncated 1 entry too early when copying it
to userspace.  The correct amount of data (length) is returned,
but the final entry is empty (zero, not filled in).
The for-loop 'i' check should use <= to allow the final struct
ifreq32 to be copied.  I also used the ifconf-corruption program
in kernel bugzilla #4746 to make sure that this change does not
re-introduce the corruption.

90f0094dc6 [PATCH] s390: dasd partition detection
DASD allows to open a device as soon as gendisk is registered, which means the
device is a fake device (capacity=0) and we do know nothing about blocksize
and partitions at that point of time.  In case the device is opened by
someone, the bdev and inode creation is done with the fake device info and the
following partition detection code is just using the wrong data.

To avoid this modify the DASD state machine to make sure that the open is
rejected until the device analysis is either finished or an unformatted device
was detected.
