742ae1e35b xfs: introduce CONFIG_XFS_WARN
Running a CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG kernel in production environments is not
the best idea as it introduces significant overhead, can change
the behaviour of algorithms (such as allocation) to improve test
coverage, and (most importantly) panic the machine on non-fatal
errors.

There are many cases where all we want to do is run a
kernel with more bounds checking enabled, such as is provided by the
ASSERT() statements throughout the code, but without all the
potential overhead and drawbacks.

This patch converts all the ASSERT statements to evaluate as
WARN_ON(1) statements and hence if they fail dump a warning and a
stack trace to the log. This has minimal overhead and does not
change any algorithms, and will allow us to find strange "out of
bounds" problems more easily on production machines.

There are a few places where assert statements contain debug only
code. These are converted to be debug-or-warn only code so that we
still get all the assert checks in the code.

d9777b8de4 fs/xfs: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

bc02e8693d xfs: add CRC infrastructure
- add a mount feature bit for CRC enabled filesystems
 - add some helpers for generating and verifying the CRCs
 - add a copy_uuid helper

The checksumming helpers are loosely based on similar ones in sctp,
all other bits come from Dave Chinner.

80f44b152c quota: Make QUOTACTL config be selected by its users
Remove "depends on" line from QUOTACTL config option and rather select
the option explicitely from config options which need it. It makes more
sense this way and also fixes Kconfig warning due to GFS2 selecting
QUOTACTL but QUOTACTL not depending on it.

ef14f0c157 xfs: use generic Posix ACL code
This patch rips out the XFS ACL handling code and uses the generic
fs/posix_acl.c code instead.  The ondisk format is of course left
unchanged.

This also introduces the same ACL caching all other Linux filesystems do
by adding pointers to the acl and default acl in struct xfs_inode.

d296d30a99 xfs: fix dentry aliasing issues in open_by_handle
Open by handle just grabs an inode by handle and then creates itself
a dentry for it.  While this works for regular files it is horribly
broken for directories, where the VFS locking relies on the fact that
there is only just one single dentry for a given inode, and that
these are always connected to the root of the filesystem so that
it's locking algorithms work (see Documentations/filesystems/Locking)

Remove all the existing open by handle code and replace it with a small
wrapper around the exportfs code which deals with all these issues.
At the same time we also make the checks for a valid handle strict
enough to reject all not perfectly well formed handles - given that
we never hand out others that's okay and simplifies the code.

7788fae6cc [XFS] allow enabling CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG
Back when I first submitted XFS for mainline inclusion we made the
decision that the debug code is far to extensive to be accidentally
enabled by users in mainline.  But then again it's often quite useful
to track problems down and hacking the makefile all the time is rather
annoying.  Given all the debug options with even more overhead like
lockdep or DEBUG_PAGE_ALLOC users (or rather developers) should know
by now what they're doing.

f7d3c34788 [XFS] Remove CONFIG_XFS_SECURITY.
There is no point to the CONFIG_XFS_SECURITY option; it disables the
ability to set security attributes at runtime, but it does not actually
slim down or remove any code for runtime. Just remove it and always allow
security attributes to be set.

9361401eb7 [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]
Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
the block layer to be present.

This patch does the following:

 (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
     support.

 (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
     an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:

     (*) Block I/O tracing.

     (*) Disk partition code.

     (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.

     (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
     	 block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
     	 such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.

     (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
     	 drivers.

     (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.

     (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
     	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.

 (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
     linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
     however, still used in places, and so is still available.

 (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
     parts of linux/fs.h.

 (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
     is not enabled.

 (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
     required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:

     (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).

 (*) Makes some /proc changes:

     (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.

     (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
     given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.

 (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.

 (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
     error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).

 (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

538524aed0 [XFS] fix XFS quota for modular XFS builds
Cannot build XFS filesystem support as module with quota support.  It
works only when the XFS filesystem support is compiled into the kernel.
Menuconfig prevents from setting CONFIG_XFS_FS=m and CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA=y.

How to reproduce: configure the XFS filesystem with quota support as
module.  The resulting kernel won't have quota support compiled into
xfs.ko.

Fix: Changing the fs/xfs/Kconfig file from tristate to bool lets you
configure the quota support to be compiled into the XFS module.  The
Makefile-linux-2.6 checks only for CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA=y.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
