e18b890bb0 [PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t
Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.

The patch was generated using the following script:

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
	#

	set -e

	for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
		quilt add $file
		sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
		mv /tmp/$$ $file
		quilt refresh
	done

The script was run like this

	sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

9a53c3a783 [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: unlink: monitor i_nlink
When a filesystem decrements i_nlink to zero, it means that a write must be
performed in order to drop the inode from the filesystem.

We're shortly going to have keep filesystems from being remounted r/o between
the time that this i_nlink decrement and that write occurs.

So, add a little helper function to do the decrements.  We'll tie into it in a
bit to note when i_nlink hits zero.

543ade1fc9 [PATCH] Streamline generic_file_* interfaces and filemap cleanups
This patch cleans up generic_file_*_read/write() interfaces.  Christoph
Hellwig gave me the idea for this clean ups.

In a nutshell, all filesystems should set .aio_read/.aio_write methods and use
do_sync_read/ do_sync_write() as their .read/.write methods.  This allows us
to cleanup all variants of generic_file_* routines.

Final available interfaces:

generic_file_aio_read() - read handler
generic_file_aio_write() - write handler
generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - no lock write handler

__generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - internal worker routine

ba52de123d [PATCH] inode-diet: Eliminate i_blksize from the inode structure
This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode.  Filesystems that want
to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.

Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)

c->erase_completion_lock.

This fix change a specification of delete_xattr_datum().
Previously, it's only called when xd->refcnt equals zero.
(calling it with positive xd->refcnt cause a BUG())
If you applied this patch, the function checks whether
xd->refcnt is zero or not under the spinlock if necessary.
Then, it marks xd DEAD flahs and links with xattr_dead_list
or releases it immediately when xd->refcnt become zero.

726c334223 [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentry
Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock
pointer.

This complements the get_sb() patch.  That reduced the significance of
sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there.  However, NFS does
require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation.  This permits
the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.

linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build
successfully.

Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

454e2398be [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount
Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.

The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).

The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.

This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.

The patch also makes the following changes:

 (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
     pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
     very little.

 (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
     normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
     always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().

 (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
     dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().

     This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
     aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
     currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
     and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
     dentries being left unculled.

     However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
     implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
     simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
     inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
     with child trees.

     [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.

 (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
     changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

Helps if we look _inside_ the buffer, rather than adding jeb->offset to

9a1fcdfd4b [MTD] NAND Signal that a bitflip was corrected by ECC
Return -EUCLEAN on read when a bitflip was detected and corrected, so the
clients can react and eventually copy the affected block to a spare one.
Make all in kernel users aware of the change.

8593fbc68b [MTD] Rework the out of band handling completely
Hopefully the last iteration on this!

The handling of out of band data on NAND was accompanied by tons of fruitless
discussions and halfarsed patches to make it work for a particular
problem. Sufficiently annoyed by I all those "I know it better" mails and the
resonable amount of discarded "it solves my problem" patches, I finally decided
to go for the big rework. After removing the _ecc variants of mtd read/write
functions the solution to satisfy the various requirements was to refactor the
read/write _oob functions in mtd.

The major change is that read/write_oob now takes a pointer to an operation
descriptor structure "struct mtd_oob_ops".instead of having a function with at
least seven arguments.

read/write_oob which should probably renamed to a more descriptive name, can do
the following tasks:

- read/write out of band data
- read/write data content and out of band data
- read/write raw data content and out of band data (ecc disabled)

struct mtd_oob_ops has a mode field, which determines the oob handling mode.

Aside of the MTD_OOB_RAW mode, which is intended to be especially for
diagnostic purposes and some internal functions e.g. bad block table creation,
the other two modes are for mtd clients:

MTD_OOB_PLACE puts/gets the given oob data exactly to/from the place which is
described by the ooboffs and ooblen fields of the mtd_oob_ops strcuture. It's
up to the caller to make sure that the byte positions are not used by the ECC
placement algorithms.

MTD_OOB_AUTO puts/gets the given oob data automaticaly to/from the places in
the out of band area which are described by the oobfree tuples in the ecclayout
data structre which is associated to the devicee.

The decision whether data plus oob or oob only handling is done depends on the
setting of the datbuf member of the data structure. When datbuf == NULL then
the internal read/write_oob functions are selected, otherwise the read/write
data routines are invoked.

Tested on a few platforms with all variants. Please be aware of possible
regressions for your particular device / application scenario

Disclaimer: Any whining will be ignored from those who just contributed "hot
air blurb" and never sat down to tackle the underlying problem of the mess in
the NAND driver grown over time and the big chunk of work to fix up the
existing users. The problem was not the holiness of the existing MTD
interfaces. The problems was the lack of time to go for the big overhaul. It's
easy to add more mess to the existing one, but it takes alot of effort to go
for a real solution.

Improvements and bugfixes are welcome!

5bd34c091a [MTD] NAND Replace oobinfo by ecclayout
The nand_oobinfo structure is not fitting the newer error correction
demands anymore. Replace it by struct nand_ecclayout and fixup the users
all over the place. Keep the nand_oobinfo based ioctl for user space
compability reasons.

ff268fb879 [MTD] NAND Consolidate oobinfo handling
The info structure for out of band data was copied into
the mtd structure. Make it a pointer and remove the ability
to set it from userspace. The position of ecc bytes is
defined by the hardware and should not be changed by software.

9bfeb691e7 [JFFS2] Switch to using an array of jffs2_raw_node_refs instead of a list.
This allows us to drop another pointer from the struct jffs2_raw_node_ref,
shrinking it to 8 bytes on 32-bit machines (if the TEST_TOTLEN) paranoia
check is turned off, which will be committed soon).
