8bc9d4227f Express relocatability of kernel on x86_64 in documentation
This patch adapts the Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt file to express the fact
that the x86_64 kernel is now also relocatable.  This makes i386 and x86_64
now behave the same, simplifying the documentation.

6b5b55f6c4 kernel-doc: fix doc blocks and html
Johannes Berg reports (Thanks!) that &struct names are not highlighted in
html output format when they are inside a DOC: block.

DOC: blocks were not escaped thru xml_escape() like other kernel-doc
comments were.  Fixed that.

However, that left a problem with <p> ($blankline_html) being processed
thru xml_escape(), converting it to &lt;p&gt;, which isn't good for the
generated html output (the <p> should remain unchanged), so this patch also
introduces the notion of "local" kernel-doc meta-characters
('\\\\mnemonic:'), which are converted to html just before writing the
stream to its output file.

Please report any problems that you (anyone) see in "highlighting" in any
output mode (text, man, html, xml).

Also update copyright to include me.

a8754beedb r/o bind mounts: create cleanup helper svc_msnfs()
I'm going to be modifying nfsd_rename() shortly to support read-only bind
mounts.  This #ifdef is around the area I'm patching, and it starts to get
really ugly if I just try to add my new code by itself.  Using this little
helper makes things a lot cleaner to use.

c7eb26678e r/o bind mounts: give permission() a local 'mnt' variable
First of all, this makes the structure jumping look a little bit cleaner.  So,
this stands alone as a tiny cleanup.  But, we also need 'mnt' by itself a few
more times later in this series, so this isn't _just_ a cleanup.

b41572e929 r/o bind mounts: rearrange may_open() to be r/o friendly
may_open() calls vfs_permission() before it does checks for IS_RDONLY(inode).
It checks _again_ inside of vfs_permission().

The check inside of vfs_permission() is going away eventually.  With the
mnt_want/drop_write() functions, all of the r/o checks (except for this one)
are consistently done before calling permission().  Because of this, I'd like
to use permission() to hold a debugging check to make sure that the
mnt_want/drop_write() calls are actually being made.

So, to do this:
1. remove the IS_RDONLY() check from permission()
2. enforce that you must mnt_want_write() before
   even calling permission()
3. actually add the debugging check to permission()

We need to rearrange may_open() to do r/o checks before calling permission().
Here's the patch.

ce8d2cdf3d r/o bind mounts: filesystem helpers for custom 'struct file's
Why do we need r/o bind mounts?

This feature allows a read-only view into a read-write filesystem.  In the
process of doing that, it also provides infrastructure for keeping track of
the number of writers to any given mount.

This has a number of uses.  It allows chroots to have parts of filesystems
writable.  It will be useful for containers in the future because users may
have root inside a container, but should not be allowed to write to
somefilesystems.  This also replaces patches that vserver has had out of the
tree for several years.

It allows security enhancement by making sure that parts of your filesystem
read-only (such as when you don't trust your FTP server), when you don't want
to have entire new filesystems mounted, or when you want atime selectively
updated.  I've been using the following script to test that the feature is
working as desired.  It takes a directory and makes a regular bind and a r/o
bind mount of it.  It then performs some normal filesystem operations on the
three directories, including ones that are expected to fail, like creating a
file on the r/o mount.

This patch:

Some filesystems forego the vfs and may_open() and create their own 'struct
file's.

This patch creates a couple of helper functions which can be used by these
filesystems, and will provide a unified place which the r/o bind mount code
may patch.

Also, rename an existing, static-scope init_file() to a less generic name.

7ef36390fa PNP: don't fail device init if no DMA channel available
Most drivers for devices supporting ISA DMA can operate without DMA as well
(falling back zo PIO).  Thus it seems inappropriate for PNP to fail device
initialization in case none of the possible DMA channels are available.
Instead, it should be left to the driver to decide what to do if
request_dma() fails.

The patch at once adjusts the code to account for the fact that
pnp_assign_dma() now doesn't need to report failure anymore.

Don't set 'aborted' flag on a request if it's interrupted.  We have to wait
for the answer anyway, and this would only a very little time while copying
the reply.

This means, that write() on the fuse device will not return -ENOENT during
normal operation, only if the filesystem is aborted by a forced umount or
through the fusectl interface.

This could simplify userspace code somewhat when backward compatibility with
earlier kernel versions is not required.

ebc14c4dbe fuse: fix permission checking on sticky directories
The VFS checks sticky bits on the parent directory even if the filesystem
defines it's own ->permission().  In some situations (sshfs, mountlo, etc) the
user does have permission to delete a file even if the attribute based
checking would not allow it.

So work around this by storing the permission bits separately and returning
them in stat(), but cutting the permission bits off from inode->i_mode.

This is slightly hackish, but it's probably not worth it to add new
infrastructure in VFS and a slight performance penalty for all filesystems,
just for the sake of fuse.

Other than truncate, there are two cases, when fuse tries to get rid
of cached pages:

 a) in open, if KEEP_CACHE flag is not set
 b) in getattr, if file size changed spontaneously

Until now invalidate_mapping_pages() were used, which didn't get rid
of mapped pages.  This is wrong, and becomes more wrong as dirty pages
are introduced.  So instead properly invalidate all pages with
invalidate_inode_pages2().

f92b99b9dc fuse: update backing_dev_info congestion state
Set the read and write congestion state if the request queue is close to
blocking, and clear it when it's not.

This prevents unnecessary blocking in readahead and (when writable mmaps are
allowed) writeback.

fdc1ca8aba floppy: remove register keyword use from floppy driver
The floppy drive is slow.  These days I see absolutely no good reason why the
floppy driver should try to gain a tiny bit of speed by telling gcc to
optimize access to some variables via the register keyword.  Better to just
leave gcc free to do whatever optimizations it deduces to be sane and not
hamper it by telling it that some variables in the floppy driver are special
and need to be fast (they don't).

aee9041c5f floppy: remove dead/commented out code from floppy driver
A good initial step for a cleanup seems to me to be getting rid of old dead
code.  This stuff is either commented out or inside '#if 0' so it is not
currently in use at all, let's just get rid of it once and for all.  That's a
few lines less to deal with.

06f748c475 floppy: do a very minimal style cleanup of the floppy driver
Yes, some of this will likely be replaced in later patches, but I do not see
anyone else coming out of the woodwork with any patches for this driver, so
I'll ignore comments about churn.  I want to get this driver cleaned up, and
if I'm going to do so I want to start with this basic style cleanup to reduce
the reading pain a bit.

d2da272a4e migration_call(CPU_DEAD): use spin_lock_irq() instead of task_rq_lock()
Change migration_call(CPU_DEAD) to use direct spin_lock_irq() instead of
task_rq_lock(rq->idle), rq->idle can't change its task_rq().

This makes the code a bit more symmetrical with migrate_dead_tasks()'s path
which uses spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq.

f7b4cddcc5 do CPU_DEAD migrating under read_lock(tasklist) instead of write_lock_irq(tasklist)
Currently move_task_off_dead_cpu() is called under
write_lock_irq(tasklist).  This means it can't use task_lock() which is
needed to improve migrating to take task's ->cpuset into account.

Change the code to call move_task_off_dead_cpu() with irqs enabled, and
change migrate_live_tasks() to use read_lock(tasklist).

This all is a preparation for the futher changes proposed by Cliff Wickman, see

cf7a44168d md: make sure read errors are auto-corrected during a 'check' resync in raid1
Whenever a read error is found, we should attempt to overwrite with correct
data to 'fix' it.

However when do a 'check' pass (which compares data blocks that are
successfully read, but doesn't normally overwrite) we don't do that.  We
should.

d7f3d291a0 md: expose the degraded status of an assembled array through sysfs
The 'degraded' attribute is useful to quickly determine if the array is
degraded, instead of parsing 'mdadm -D' output or relying on the other
techniques (number of working devices against number of defined devices,
etc.).  The md code already keeps track of this attribute, so it's useful to
export it.

2b12ab6d33 md: 'sync_action' in sysfs returns wrong value for readonly arrays
When an array is started read-only, MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED can be set but no
recovery will be running.  This causes 'sync_action' to report the wrong
value.

We could remove the test for MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED, but doing so would leave a
small gap after requesting a sync action, where 'sync_action' would still
report the old value.

So make sure that for a read-only array, 'sync_action' always returns 'idle'.

4d936ec1fd md: software Raid autodetect dev list not array
In current release kernels the md module (Software RAID) uses a static
array (dev_t[128]) to store partition/device info temporarily for
autostart.

I discovered this (and that the devices are added as disks/partitions are
discovered at boot) while I was debugging why only one of my MD arrays would
come up whole, while all the others were short a disk.

I eventually discovered that it was enumerating through all of 9 of my 11 hds
(2 had only 4 partitions apiece) while the other 9 have 15 partitions (I
wanted 64 per drive...).  The last partition of the 8th drive in my 9 drive
raid 5 sets wasn't added, thus making the final md array short both a parity
and data disk, and it was started later, elsewhere.

This patch replaces that static array with a list.
