Add mapping table for 32 bit SMB2 status codes to linux errors.
Note that SMB2 does not use DOS/OS2 errors (ever) so mapping to
DOS/OS2 errors as a common network subset (as we do for cifs)

c5fd363d77 cifs: move file_lock off stack in cifs_push_posix_locks
struct file_lock is pretty large, so we really don't want that on the
stack in a potentially long call chain. Reorganize the arguments to
CIFSSMBPosixLock to eliminate the need for that.

Eliminate the get_flag and simply use a non-NULL pLockInfo to indicate
that this is a "get" operation. In order to do that, need to add a new
loff_t argument for the start_offset.

The only checks of the long argument passed to fcntl(fd,F_SETLEASE,.)
are done after converting the long to an int.  Thus some illegal values
may be let through and cause problems in later code.

[ They actually *don't* cause problems in mainline, as of Dave Jones's
  commit 8d657eb3b4 "Remove easily user-triggerable BUG from
  generic_setlease", but we should fix this anyway.  And this patch will
  be necessary to fix real bugs on earlier kernels. ]

a66d2c8f7e Merge branch 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull the big VFS changes from Al Viro:
 "This one is *big* and changes quite a few things around VFS.  What's in there:

   - the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open
     intents.

     The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with
     Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in
     fs/namei.c, we finally have it.  Unlike his variant, this one
     doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is
     ->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing
     everything via its fields.

     Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E...  on error, 0
     on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g.  symlink
     found on server, etc.).

     See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open().  That made a lot of
     goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile:
     ->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct
     nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup
     flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag.

     With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid
     of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still
     visible in namei.h, but not for long.  Come the next cycle,
     declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c
     itself.  [me, miklos, hch]

   - The second major change: behaviour of final fput().  Now we have
     __fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep
     in call stack.

     That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there.
     Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which
     has immediately simplified life for aio.c).  We also don't need
     anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore.

     There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially
     asynchronous.  For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed
     that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to
     userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace.

     For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via
     schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure
     it's finished; so far only one such place had been found, but there
     might be more.

     There's flush_delayed_fput() (do all pending __fput()) and there's
     __fput_sync() (fput() analog doing __fput() immediately).  I hope
     we won't need them often; see warnings in fs/file_table.c for
     details.  [me, based on task_work series from Oleg merged last
     cycle]

   - sync series from Jan

   - large part of "death to sync_supers()" work from Artem; the only
     bits missing here are exofs and ext4 ones.  As far as I understand,
     those are going via the exofs and ext4 trees resp.; once they are
     in, we can put ->write_super() to the rest, along with the thread
     calling it.

   - preparatory bits from unionmount series (from dhowells).

   - assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place, as usual.

  This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's
  ESTALE work and fsfreeze series (the latter - in dire need of fixes,
  so I'm not sure it'll make the cut this cycle).  I'll probably throw
  symlink/hardlink restrictions stuff from Kees into the next pile, too.
  Plus there's a lot of misc patches I hadn't thrown into that one -
  it's large enough as it is..."

e8b96eb503 vfs: allow custom EOF in generic_file_llseek code
For ext3/4 htree directories, using the vfs llseek function with
SEEK_END goes to i_size like for any other file, but in reality
we want the maximum possible hash value.  Recent changes
in ext4 have cut & pasted generic_file_llseek() back into fs/ext4/dir.c,
but replicating this core code seems like a bad idea, especially
since the copy has already diverged from the vfs.

This patch updates generic_file_llseek_size to accept
both a custom maximum offset, and a custom EOF position.  With this
in place, ext4_dir_llseek can pass in the appropriate maximum hash
position for both maxsize and eof, and get what it wants.

As far as I know, this does not fix any bugs - nfs in the kernel
doesn't use SEEK_END, and I don't know of any user who does.  But
some ext4 folks seem keen on doing the right thing here, and I can't
really argue.

(Patch also fixes up some comments slightly)

4ea425b63a vfs: Avoid unnecessary WB_SYNC_NONE writeback during sys_sync and reorder sync passes
wakeup_flusher_threads(0) will queue work doing complete writeback for each
flusher thread. Thus there is not much point in submitting another work doing
full inode WB_SYNC_NONE writeback by writeback_inodes_sb().

After this change it does not make sense to call nonblocking ->sync_fs and
block device flush before calling sync_inodes_sb() because
wakeup_flusher_threads() is completely asynchronous and thus these functions
would be called in parallel with inode writeback running which will effectively
void any work they do. So we move sync_inodes_sb() call before these two
functions.

d0e91b13eb vfs: Remove unnecessary flushing of block devices
It is not necessary to write block devices twice. The reason why we first did
flush and then proper sync is that
  for_each_bdev() {
    write_bdev()
    wait_for_completion()
  }
is much slower than
  for_each_bdev()
    write_bdev()
  for_each_bdev()
    wait_for_completion()
when there is bigger amount of data. But as is seen in the above, there's no real
need to scan pages and submit them twice. We just need to separate the submission
and waiting part. This patch does that.

a8c7176b6d vfs: Make sys_sync writeout also block device inodes
In case block device does not have filesystem mounted on it, sys_sync will just
ignore it and doesn't writeout its dirty pages. This is because writeback code
avoids writing inodes from superblock without backing device and
blockdev_superblock is such a superblock.  Since it's unexpected that sync
doesn't writeout dirty data for block devices be nice to users and change the
behavior to do so. So now we iterate over all block devices on blockdev_super
instead of iterating over all superblocks when syncing block devices.

a117782571 quota: Move quota syncing to ->sync_fs method
Since the moment writes to quota files are using block device page cache and
space for quota structures is reserved at the moment they are first accessed we
have no reason to sync quota before inode writeback. In fact this order is now
only harmful since quota information can easily change during inode writeback
(either because conversion of delayed-allocated extents or simply because of
allocation of new blocks for simple filesystems not using page_mkwrite).

So move syncing of quota information after writeback of inodes into ->sync_fs
method. This way we do not have to use ->quota_sync callback which is primarily
intended for use by quotactl syscall anyway and we get rid of calling
->sync_fs() twice unnecessarily. We skip quota syncing for OCFS2 since it does
proper quota journalling in all cases (unlike ext3, ext4, and reiserfs which
also support legacy non-journalled quotas) and thus there are no dirty quota
structures.

6eedc70150 vfs: Move noop_backing_dev_info check from sync into writeback
In principle, a filesystem may want to have ->sync_fs() called during sync(1)
although it does not have a bdi (i.e. s_bdi is set to noop_backing_dev_info).
Only writeback code really needs bdi set to something reasonable. So move the
checks where they are more logical.

9e9ad5f408 fs/ufs: get rid of write_super
This patch makes UFS stop using the VFS '->write_super()' method along with
the 's_dirt' superblock flag, because they are on their way out.

The way we implement this is that we schedule a delay job instead relying on
's_dirt' and '->write_super()'.

The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the
'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and
writes out all dirty superblocks using the '->write_super()' call-back.  But the
problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every
5 seconds, even if there are no diry superblocks, or there are no client
file-systems which would need this (e.g., btrfs does not use
'->write_super()'). So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to make
file-systems to stop using the '->write_super()' VFS service, and then remove
it together with the kernel thread.

Tested using fsstress from the LTP project.

7bd54ef722 fs/ufs: re-arrange the code a bit
This patch does not do any functional changes. It only moves 3 functions
in fs/ufs/super.c a little bit up in order to prepare for further changes
where I'll need this new arrangement to avoid forward declarations.

65e5e83f7d fs/ufs: remove extra superblock write on unmount
UFS calls 'ufs_write_super()' from 'ufs_put_super()' in order to write the
superblocks to the media. However, it is not needed because VFS calls
'->sync_fs()' before calling '->put_super()' - so by the time we are in
'ufs_write_super()', the superblocks are already synchronized.

9d46be294d fs/sysv: stop using write_super and s_dirt
It does not look like sysv FS needs 'write_super()' at all, because all it
does is a timestamp update. I cannot test this patch, because this
file-system is so old and probably has not been used by anyone for years,
so there are no tools to create it in Linux. But from the code I see that
marking the superblock as dirty is basically marking the superblock buffers as
drity and then setting the s_dirt flag. And when 'write_super()' is executed to
handle the s_dirt flag, we just update the timestamp and again mark the
superblock buffer as dirty. Seems pointless.

It looks like we can update the timestamp more opprtunistically - on unmount
or remount of sync, and nothing should change.

Thus, this patch removes 'sysv_write_super()' and 's_dirt'.

eee458936b fs/sysv: remove another useless write_super call
We do not need to call 'sysv_write_super()' from 'sysv_remount()',
because VFS has called 'sysv_sync_fs()' before calling '->remount()'.
So remove it. Remove also '(un)lock_super()' which obvioulsy is becoming
useless in this function.
