Mark variables with uninitialized_var() if such a warning appears,
and analysis proves that the var is initialized properly on all paths

Satyam Sharma 3bd858ab1c Introduce is_owner_or_cap() to wrap CAP_FOWNER use with fsuid check
Introduce is_owner_or_cap() macro in fs.h, and convert over relevant
users to it. This is done because we want to avoid bugs in the future
where we check for only effective fsuid of the current task against a
file's owning uid, without simultaneously checking for CAP_FOWNER as
well, thus violating its semantics.
[ XFS uses special macros and structures, and in general looked ...
untouchable, so we leave it alone -- but it has been looked over. ]

The (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid) check in generic_permission() and
exec_permission_lite() is left alone, because those operations are
covered by CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH. Similarly operations
falling under the purview of CAP_CHOWN and CAP_LEASE are also left alone.

Tejun Heo 7b595756ec sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.

This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.

(tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to
merge things properly.)

Mark Fasheh b25801038d ocfs2: Support xfs style space reservation ioctls
We re-use the RESVSP/UNRESVSP ioctls from xfs which allow the user to
allocate and deallocate regions to a file without zeroing data or changing
i_size.

Though renamed, the structure passed in from user is identical to struct
xfs_flock64. The three fields that are actually used right now are l_whence,
l_start and l_len.

This should get ocfs2 immediate compatibility with userspace software using
the pre-existing xfs ioctls.

Mark Fasheh 063c4561f5 ocfs2: support for removing file regions
Provide an internal interface for the removal of arbitrary file regions.

ocfs2_remove_inode_range() takes a byte range within a file and will remove
existing extents within that range. Partial clusters will be zeroed so that
any read from within the region will return zeros.

Mark Fasheh 35edec1d52 ocfs2: update truncate handling of partial clusters
The partial cluster zeroing code used during truncate usually assumes that
the rightmost byte in the range to be zeroed lies on a cluster boundary.
This makes sense for truncate, but punching holes might require zeroing on
non-aligned rightmost boundaries.

This can now be trivially supported with re-use of our existing extend code.

ocfs2_allocate_unwritten_extents() takes a start offset and a byte length
and iterates over the inode, adding extents (marked as unwritten) until len
is reached. Existing extents are skipped over.

Mark Fasheh b27b7cbcf1 ocfs2: support writing of unwritten extents
Update the write code to detect when the user is asking to write to an
unwritten extent. Like writing to a hole, we must zero the region between
the write and the cluster boundaries. Most of the existing cluster zeroing
logic can be re-used with some additional checks for the unwritten flag on
extent records.

Mark Fasheh 2b604351bc ocfs2: simplify deallocation locking
Deallocation of suballocator blocks, most notably extent blocks, might
involve multiple suballocator inodes.

The locking for this can get extremely complicated, especially when the
suballocator inodes to delete from aren't known until deep within an
unrelated codepath.

Implement a simple scheme for recording the blocks to be unlinked so that
the actual deallocation can be done in a context which won't deadlock.

Christoph Lameter 50953fe9e0 slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

Nick Piggin 6fe6900e1e mm: make read_cache_page synchronous
Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.

I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
block2mtd.  All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
with a !uptodate page.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 823bccfc40 remove "struct subsystem" as it is no longer needed
We need to work on cleaning up the relationship between kobjects, ksets and
ktypes.  The removal of 'struct subsystem' is the first step of this,
especially as it is not really needed at all.

Thanks to Kay for fixing the bugs in this patch.
