Sync iocbs have a life cycle that don't need a kioctx. Their retrying, if
any, is done in the context of their owner who has allocated them on the
stack.
The sole user of a sync iocb's ctx reference was aio_complete() checking for
an elevated iocb ref count that could never happen. No path which grabs an
iocb ref has access to sync iocbs.
If we were to implement sync iocb cancelation it would be done by the owner of
the iocb using its on-stack reference.
Removing this chunk from aio_complete allows us to remove the entire kioctx
instance from mm_struct, reducing its size by a third. On a i386 testing box
the slab size went from 768 to 504 bytes and from 5 to 8 per page.

The patch
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/diffs/fs/locks.c@1.70??nav=index.html
introduced a pretty nasty memory leak in the lease code. When freeing
the lease, the code in locks_delete_lock() will correctly clean up
the fasync queue, but when we return to fcntl_setlease(), the freed
fasync entry will be reinstated.
This patch ensures that we skip the call to fasync_helper() when we're
freeing up the lease.

->permission and ->lookup have a struct nameidata * argument these days to
pass down lookup intents. Unfortunately some callers of lookup_hash don't
actually pass this one down. For lookup_one_len() we don't have a struct
nameidata to pass down, but as this function is a library function only
used by filesystem code this is an acceptable limitation. All other
callers should pass down the nameidata, so this patch changes the
lookup_hash interface to only take a struct nameidata argument and derives
the other two arguments to __lookup_hash from it. All callers already have
the nameidata argument available so this is not a problem.
At the same time I'd like to deprecate the lookup_hash interface as there
are better exported interfaces for filesystem usage. Before it can
actually be removed I need to fix up rpc_pipefs.

When non-leader thread does exec, de_thread calls release_task(leader) before

However, we can't change send_group_sigqueue() to check p->signal != NULL,
because sys_timer_create() does get_task_struct() only in SIGEV_THREAD_ID

An unbindable mount does not forward or receive propagation. Also
unbindable mount disallows bind mounts. The semantics is as follows.
Bind semantics:
It is invalid to bind mount an unbindable mount.
Move semantics:
It is invalid to move an unbindable mount under shared mount.
Clone-namespace semantics:
If a mount is unbindable in the parent namespace, the corresponding
cloned mount in the child namespace becomes unbindable too. Note:
there is subtle difference, unbindable mounts cannot be bind mounted
but can be cloned during clone-namespace.

umount is done under the protection of the namespace semaphore. This

The way we currently deal with quota and process accounting that might
keep vfsmount busy at umount time is inherently broken; we try to turn
them off just in case (not quite correctly, at that) and
a) pray umount doesn't fail (otherwise they'll stay turned off)
b) pray nobody doesn anything funny just as we turn quota off
Moreover, LSM provides hooks for doing the same sort of broken logics.
The proper way to deal with that is to introduce the second kind of
reference to vfsmount. Semantics:
- when the last normal reference is dropped, all special ones are
converted to normal ones and if there had been any, cleanup is done.
- normal reference can be cloned into a special one
- special reference can be converted to normal one; that's a no-op if
we'd already passed the point of no return (i.e. mntput() had
converted special references to normal and started cleanup).
The way it works: e.g. starting process accounting converts the vfsmount
reference pinned by the opened file into special one and turns it back
to normal when it gets shut down; acct_auto_close() is done when no
normal references are left. That way it does *not* obstruct umount(2)
and it silently gets turned off when the last normal reference to
vfsmount is gone. Which is exactly what we want...
The same should be done by LSM module that holds some internal
references to vfsmount and wants to shut them down on umount - it should
make them special and security_sb_umount_close() will be called exactly
when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone.
quota handling is even simpler - we don't use normal file IO anymore, so
there's no need to hold vfsmounts at all. DQUOT_OFF() is done from
deactivate_super(), where it really belongs.

AIO was adding a new context's max requests to the global total before
testing if that resulting total was over the global limit. This let
innocent tasks get their new limit tested along with a racing guilty task
that was crossing the limit. This serializes the _nr accounting with a
spinlock It also switches to using unsigned long for the global totals.
Individual contexts are still limited to an unsigned int's worth of
requests by the syscall interface.
The problem and fix were verified with a simple program that spun creating
and destroying a context while holding on to another long lived context.
Before the patch a task creating a tiny context could get a spurious EAGAIN
if it raced with a task creating a very large context that overran the

Remove the hlist_for_each_rcu() API, which is used only in one place, and
is trivially converted to hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(), making the code
shorter and more readable. Any out-of-tree uses may be similarly
converted.

This patch adds a connector that reports fork, exec, id change, and exit
events for all processes to userspace. It replaces the fork_advisor patch
that ELSA is currently using. Applications that may find these events
useful include accounting/auditing (e.g. ELSA), system activity monitoring
(e.g. top), security, and resource management (e.g. CKRM).

If the backing_dev_info doesn't have BDI_CAP_NO_WRITEBACK we're not supposed
to write back an inode's pages. But in this situation write_inode_now()
refuses to write the inode itself as well. Fix.

This patch renames struct kmem_cache_s to kmem_cache so we can start using
it instead of kmem_cache_t typedef.

Some callers to block-layer commit_write function treat non-zero return as
error, notably the loopback mount driver sometimes used in conjunction with
JFFS2 on NAND flash for bad block avoidance, etc. Return zero for success
as do various other commit_write functions.

- assume wbuf may be of size which is not power of 2
- don't make strange assumption about not padding wbuf for DataFlash
- use wbuf = DataFlash page and eraseblock >= 8 Dataflash pages
