Al Viro glanced at readdir and surmised that getdents
would misbehave the way it was written... and sure enough.

replace opencoded pvfs_bufmap_copy_to_kernel_iovec,
pvfs_bufmap_copy_to_user_iovec, pvfs_bufmap_copy_iovec_from_kernel,
and pvfs_bufmap_copy_iovec_from_user with pvfs_bufmap_copy_to_iovec
and pvfs_bufmap_copy_from_iovec, which both use the iov_iter
interface.

spinlock_types.h requires types from linux/types.h.
Including spinlock_types.h first may result in the following build errors,
as seen with arm:allmodconfig.
arch/arm/include/asm/spinlock_types.h:12:3: error: unknown type name 'u32'
arch/arm/include/asm/spinlock_types.h:16:4: error: unknown type name 'u16'

make.cross ARCH=tile doesn't like "inode->i_bytes = PAGE_CACHE_SIZE;",
so cast PAGE_CACHE_SIZE to unsigned short.

Don't check for negative rc from boolean.
Don't pointlessly initialize variables, it short-circuits
gcc's uninitialized variable warnings. And max_new_nr_segs
can never be zero, so don't check for it.
Preserve original kstrdup pointer for freeing later.
Don't check for negative value in unsigned variable.

OrangeFS (formerly PVFS) is an lgpl licensed userspace networked parallel
file system. OrangeFS can be accessed through included system utilities,
user integration libraries, MPI-IO and can be used by the Hadoop
ecosystem as an alternative to the HDFS filesystem. OrangeFS is used
widely for parallel science, data analytics and engineering applications.
While applications often don't require Orangefs to be mounted into
the VFS, users do like to be able to access their files in the normal way.
The Orangefs kernel client allows Orangefs filesystems to be mounted as
a VFS. The kernel client communicates with a userspace daemon which in
turn communicates with the Orangefs server daemons that implement the
filesystem. The server daemons (there's almost always more than one)
need not be running on the same host as the kernel client.
Orangefs filesystems can also be mounted with FUSE, and we
ship code and instructions to facilitate that, but most of our users
report preferring to use our kernel module instead. Further, as an example
of a problem we can't solve with fuse, we have in the works a
not-yet-ready-for-prime-time version of a file_operations lock function
that accounts for the server daemons being distributed across more
than one running kernel.
Many people and organizations, including Clemson University,
Argonne National Laboratories and Acxiom Corporation have
helped to create what has become Orangefs over more than twenty
years. Some of the more recent contributors to the kernel client
include:
