Al Viro efee984c27 new helper: signal_delivered()
Does block_sigmask() + tracehook_signal_handler();  called when
sigframe has been successfully built.  All architectures converted
to it; block_sigmask() itself is gone now (merged into this one).

I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate
story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number +
siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one,
signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() -
take one).

Miklos Szeredi 0ef97dcfce nfs: don't open in ->d_revalidate
NFSv4 can't do reliable opens in d_revalidate, since it cannot know whether a
mount needs to be followed or not.  It does check d_mountpoint() on the dentry,
which can result in a weird error if the VFS found that the mount does not in
fact need to be followed, e.g.:

  # mount --bind /mnt/nfs /mnt/nfs-clone
  # echo something > /mnt/nfs/tmp/bar
  # echo x > /tmp/file
  # mount --bind /tmp/file /mnt/nfs-clone/tmp/bar
  # cat  /mnt/nfs/tmp/bar
  cat: /mnt/nfs/tmp/bar: Not a directory

Which should, by any sane filesystem, result in "something" being printed.

So instead do the open in f_op->open() and in the unlikely case that the cached
dentry turned out to be invalid, drop the dentry and return EOPENSTALE to let
the VFS retry.

Miklos Szeredi 16b1c1cd71 vfs: retry last component if opening stale dentry
NFS optimizes away d_revalidates for last component of open.  This means that
open itself can find the dentry stale.

This patch allows the filesystem to return EOPENSTALE and the VFS will retry the
lookup on just the last component if possible.

If the lookup was done using RCU mode, including the last component, then this
is not possible since the parent dentry is lost.  In this case fall back to
non-RCU lookup.  Currently this is not used since NFS will always leave RCU
mode.

Matt Fleming 0c7596621e x86, efi: Add EFI boot stub documentation
Since we can't expect every user to read the EFI boot stub code it
seems prudent to have a couple of paragraphs explaining what it is and
how it works.

The "initrd=" option in particular is tricky because it only
understands absolute EFI-style paths (backslashes as directory
separators), and until now this hasn't been documented anywhere. This
has tripped up a couple of users.

The loop at the 'close_handles' label in handle_ramdisks() should be
using 'i', which represents the number of initrd files that were
successfully opened, not 'nr_initrds' which is the number of initrd=
arguments passed on the command line.

Currently, if we execute the loop to close all file handles and we
failed to open any initrds we'll try to call the close function on a
garbage pointer, causing the machine to hang.

Josef Bacik c3b2da3148 fs: introduce inode operation ->update_time
Btrfs has to make sure we have space to allocate new blocks in order to modify
the inode, so updating time can fail.  We've gotten around this by having our
own file_update_time but this is kind of a pain, and Christoph has indicated he
would like to make xfs do something different with atime updates.  So introduce
->update_time, where we will deal with i_version an a/m/c time updates and
indicate which changes need to be made.  The normal version just does what it
has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then
filesystems can choose to do something different.

I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for
errors with the exception of the fault code since it's complicated and I wasn't
quite sure what to do there, also Jan is going to be pushing the file time
updates into page_mkwrite for those who have it so that should satisfy btrfs and
make it not a big deal to check the file_update_time() return code in the
generic fault path. Thanks,

Linus Torvalds 51eab603f5 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs
Pull btrfs updates from Chris Mason:
 "This includes a fairly large change from Josef around data writeback
  completion.  Before, the writeback wasn't completed until the metadata
  insertions for the extent were done, and this made for fairly large
  latency spikes on the last page of each ordered extent.

  We already had a separate mechanism for tracking pending metadata
  insertions, so Josef just needed to tweak things a little to end
  writeback earlier on the page.  Overall it makes us much friendly to
  memory reclaim and lowers latencies quite a lot for synchronous IO.

  Jan Schmidt has finished some background work required to track btree
  blocks as they go through changes in ownership.  It's the missing
  piece he needed for both btrfs send/receive and subvolume quotas.
  Neither of those are ready yet, but the new tracking code is included
  here.  Most of the time, the new code is off.  It is only used by
  scrub and other backref walkers.

  Stefan Behrens has added io failure tracking.  This includes counters
  for which drives are causing the most trouble so the admin (or an
  automated tool) can choose to kick them out.  We're tracking IO
  errors, crc errors, and generation checks we do on each metadata
  block.

  RAID5/6 did miss the cut this time because I'm having trouble with
  corruptions.  I'll nail it down next week and post as a beta testing
  before 3.6"

Artem Bityutskiy 033369d1af reiserfs: get rid of resierfs_sync_super
This patch stops reiserfs using the VFS 'write_super()' method along with the
s_dirt flag, because they are on their way out.

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 superblock 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.

Artem Bityutskiy 5c5fd81962 reiserfs: mark the superblock as dirty a bit later
The 'journal_mark_dirty()' function currently first marks the superblock as
dirty by setting 's_dirt' to 1, then does various sanity checks and returns,
then actuall does all the magic with the journal.

This is not an ideal order, though. It makes more sense to first do all the
checks, then do all the internal stuff, and at the end notify the VFS that the
superblock is now dirty.

This patch moves the 's_dirt = 1' assignment from the very beginning of this
function to the very end.
