51cc50685a SL*B: drop kmem cache argument from constructor
Kmem cache passed to constructor is only needed for constructors that are
themselves multiplexeres.  Nobody uses this "feature", nor does anybody uses
passed kmem cache in non-trivial way, so pass only pointer to object.

Non-trivial places are:
	arch/powerpc/mm/init_64.c
	arch/powerpc/mm/hugetlbpage.c

This is flag day, yes.

6ab455eeaf [XFS] Fix memory corruption with small buffer reads
When we have multiple buffers in a single page for a blocksize == pagesize
filesystem we might overwrite the page contents if two callers hit it
shortly after each other. To prevent that we need to keep the page locked
until I/O is completed and the page marked uptodate.

Thanks to Eric Sandeen for triaging this bug and finding a reproducible
testcase and Dave Chinner for additional advice.

This should fix kernel.org bz #10421.

978b723712 [XFS] Fix fsync() b0rkage.
xfs_fsync() fails to wait for data I/O completion before checking if the
inode is dirty or clean to decide whether to log the inode or not. This
misses inode size updates when the data flushed by the fsync() is
extending the file.

Hence, like fdatasync(), we need to wait for I/o completion first, then
check the inode for cleanliness. Doing so makes the behaviour of
xfs_fsync() identical for fsync and fdatasync and we *always* use
synchronous semantics if the inode is dirty. Therefore also kill the
differences and remove the unused flags from the xfs_fsync function and
callers.

cfa853e47d [XFS] remove manual lookup from xfs_rename and simplify locking
->rename already gets the target inode passed if it exits. Pass it down to
xfs_rename so that we can avoid looking it up again. Also simplify locking
as the first lock section in xfs_rename can go away now: the isdir is an
invariant over the lifetime of the inode, and new_parent and the nlink
check are namespace topology protected by i_mutex in the VFS. The projid
check needs to move into the second lock section anyway to not be racy.

Also kill the now unused xfs_dir_lookup_int and remove the now-unused
first_locked argumet to xfs_lock_inodes.

we're at i also clean up the interface for is locked asserts to go through

isolated the XFS codebase from mrlock internals. That way we can kill
mrlock_t entirely once rw_semaphores grow an islocked facility. Also
remove unused flags to the ilock family of functions.

3b2816be27 [XFS] The forward declarations for the xfs_ioctl() helpers and the
associated comment about gcc behavior really aren't needed; all of these
functions are marked STATIC which includes noinline, and the stack usage
won't be a problem.

This effectively just removes the forward declarations and moves
xfs_ioctl() back to the end of the file.

db0bb7baa1 [XFS] cleanup xfs_vn_mknod
- use proper goto based unwinding instead of the current mess of
  multiple conditionals
- rename ip to inode because that's the normal convention for Linux
  inodes while ip is the convention for xfs_inodes
- remove unlikely checks for the default_acl - branches marked unlikely
  might lead to extreme branch bredictor slowdons if taken and for some
  workloads a default acl is quite common
- properly indent the switch statements
- remove xfs_has_fs_struct as nfsd has a fs_struct in any semi-recent
  kernel

a3f74ffb6d [XFS] Don't block pdflush when writing back inodes
When pdflush is writing back inodes, it can get stuck on inode cluster
buffers that are currently under I/O. This occurs when we write data to
multiple inodes in the same inode cluster at the same time.

Effectively, delayed allocation marks the inode dirty during the data
writeback. Hence if the inode cluster was flushed during the writeback of
the first inode, the writeback of the second inode will block waiting for
the inode cluster write to complete before writing it again for the newly
dirtied inode.

Basically, we want to avoid this from happening so we don't block pdflush
and slow down all of writeback. Hence we introduce a non-blocking async
inode flush flag that pdflush uses. If this flag is set, we use
non-blocking operations (e.g. try locks) whereever we can to avoid
blocking or extra I/O being issued.

1bd960ee2b [XFS] If you mount an XFS filesystem with no mount options at all, then
the "ikeep" option is set rather than "noikeep".

This regression was introduced in 970451.

With no mount options specified, xfs_parseargs() does the following:

int ikeep = 0;

args->flags |= XFSMNT_BARRIER;

args->flags2 |= XFSMNT2_COMPAT_IOSIZE;

if (!options)

goto done;

It only sets the above two options by default and before, it also used to
set XFSMNT_IDELETE by default.

If options are specified, then

if (!(args->flags & XFSMNT_DMAPI) && !ikeep)

args->flags |= XFSMNT_IDELETE;

is executed later on which is skipped by the "goto done;" above.

The solution is to invert the logic.

1d957f9bf8 Introduce path_put()
* Add path_put() functions for releasing a reference to the dentry and
  vfsmount of a struct path in the right order

* Switch from path_release(nd) to path_put(&nd->path)

* Rename dput_path() to path_put_conditional()

4ac9137858 Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}
This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
  <dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
  struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

without patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5321639  858418  715768 6895825  6938d1 vmlinux

with patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5320026  858418  715768 6894212  693284 vmlinux

This patch:

Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.
