Using bit fields is dangerous on ppc64/sparc64, as the compiler [1]
uses 64bit instructions to manipulate them.
If the 64bit word includes any atomic_t or spinlock_t, we can lose
critical concurrent changes.
This is happening in af_unix, where unix_sk(sk)->gc_candidate/
gc_maybe_cycle/lock share the same 64bit word.
This leads to fatal deadlock, as one/several cpus spin forever
on a spinlock that will never be available again.
A safer way would be to use a long to store flags.
This way we are sure compiler/arch wont do bad things.
As we own unix_gc_lock spinlock when clearing or setting bits,
we can use the non atomic __set_bit()/__clear_bit().
recursion_level can share the same 64bit location with the spinlock,
as it is set only with this spinlock held.

After some discussion, It seems that a semaphore is the proper mechanism to use

condition exists for semaphores (save for the fact that the non blocking api
calls, like up and down_trylock must be used when in irq context).

that just returns non-zero.
In fact, according to Linus, it shouldn't print at all. As it only
prints with initcall_debug set, and that already shows enough

This patch fixes races uncovered by xfstests testcase 068.
One race is the result of jfs_sync() trying to write a sync point to the
journal after it has been frozen (or possibly in the process). Since
freezing sync's the journal, there is no need to write a sync point so
we simply want to return.
The second involves jfs_write_inode() being called on a deleted inode.
It calls jfs_flush_journal which is held up by the jfs_commit thread
doing the final iput on the same deleted inode, which itself is
waiting for the I_SYNC flag to be cleared. jfs_write_inode need not
do anything when i_nlink is zero, which is the easy fix.

Merge IPC cleanup and scalability patches from Andrew Morton.
This cleans up many of the oddities in the IPC code, uses the list
iterator helpers, splits out locking and adds per-semaphore locks for
greater scalability of the IPC semaphore code.
Most normal user-level locking by now uses futexes (ie pthreads, but
also a lot of specialized locks), but SysV IPC semaphores are apparently
still used in some big applications, either for portability reasons, or
because they offer tracking and undo (and you don't need to have a
special shared memory area for them).
Our IPC semaphore scalability was pitiful. We used to lock much too big
ranges, and we used to have a single ipc lock per ipc semaphore array.
Most loads never cared, but some do. There are some numbers in the
individual commits.
* ipc-scalability:
ipc: sysv shared memory limited to 8TiB
ipc/msg.c: use list_for_each_entry_[safe] for list traversing
ipc,sem: fine grained locking for semtimedop
ipc,sem: have only one list in struct sem_queue
ipc,sem: open code and rename sem_lock
ipc,sem: do not hold ipc lock more than necessary
ipc: introduce lockless pre_down ipcctl
ipc: introduce obtaining a lockless ipc object
ipc: remove bogus lock comment for ipc_checkid
ipc/msgutil.c: use linux/uaccess.h
ipc: refactor msg list search into separate function
ipc: simplify msg list search
ipc: implement MSG_COPY as a new receive mode
ipc: remove msg handling from queue scan
ipc: set EFAULT as default error in load_msg()
ipc: tighten msg copy loops
ipc: separate msg allocation from userspace copy
ipc: clamp with min()
Trying to run an application which was trying to put data into half of
memory using shmget(), we found that having a shmall value below 8EiB-8TiB
would prevent us from using anything more than 8TiB. By setting
kernel.shmall greater than 8EiB-8TiB would make the job work.
In the newseg() function, ns->shm_tot which, at 8TiB is INT_MAX.
ipc/shm.c:
458 static int newseg(struct ipc_namespace *ns, struct ipc_params *params)
459 {
...
465 int numpages = (size + PAGE_SIZE -1) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
...
474 if (ns->shm_tot + numpages > ns->shm_ctlall)
475 return -ENOSPC;

Introduce finer grained locking for semtimedop, to handle the common case
of a program wanting to manipulate one semaphore from an array with
multiple semaphores.
If the call is a semop manipulating just one semaphore in an array with
multiple semaphores, only take the lock for that semaphore itself.
If the call needs to manipulate multiple semaphores, or another caller is
in a transaction that manipulates multiple semaphores, the sem_array lock
is taken, as well as all the locks for the individual semaphores.
On a 24 CPU system, performance numbers with the semop-multi
test with N threads and N semaphores, look like this:

This series makes the sysv semaphore code more scalable, by reducing the
time the semaphore lock is held, and making the locking more scalable for
semaphore arrays with multiple semaphores.
The first four patches were written by Davidlohr Buesso, and reduce the
hold time of the semaphore lock.
The last three patches change the sysv semaphore code locking to be more
fine grained, providing a performance boost when multiple semaphores in a
semaphore array are being manipulated simultaneously.

This patch:
There is no reason to be holding the ipc lock while reading ipcp->seq,
hence remove misleading comment.
Also simplify the return value for the function.

We first tried to avoid updating atime/mtime entirely (commit
b0de59b5733d: "TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write"), and then
limited it to only update it occasionally (commit 37b7f3c76595: "TTY:
fix atime/mtime regression"), but it turns out that this was both
insufficient and overkill.
It was insufficient because we let people attach to the shared ptmx node
to see activity without even reading atime/mtime, and it was overkill
because the "only once a minute" means that you can't really tell an
idle person from an active one with 'w'.
So this tries to fix the problem properly. It marks the shared ptmx
node as un-notifiable, and it lowers the "only once a minute" to a few
seconds instead - still long enough that you can't time individual
keystrokes, but short enough that you can tell whether somebody is
active or not.

For debugging purposes, it is useful to have a name-string added
while exporting buffers. Hence, dma_buf_export() is replaced with
dma_buf_export_named(), which additionally takes 'exp_name' as a
parameter.
For backward compatibility, and for lazy exporters who don't wish to
name themselves, a #define dma_buf_export() is also made available,
which adds a __FILE__ instead of 'exp_name'.
