be8f684d73 oom: make deprecated use of oom_adj more verbose
/proc/pid/oom_adj is deprecated and scheduled for removal in August 2012
according to Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt.

This patch makes the warning more verbose by making it appear as a more
serious problem (the presence of a stack trace and being multiline should
attract more attention) so that applications still using the old interface
can get fixed.

Very popular users of the old interface have been converted since the oom
killer rewrite has been introduced.  udevd switched to the
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj interface for v162, kde switched in 4.6.1, and
opensshd switched in 5.7p1.

At the start of 2012, this should be changed into a WARN() to emit all
such incidents and then finally remove the tunable in August 2012 as
scheduled.

2b37c35e65 fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c: fix pgoff alignment checking on 32-bit
This:

    vma->vm_pgoff & ~(huge_page_mask(h) >> PAGE_SHIFT)

is incorrect on 32-bit.  It causes us to & the pgoff with something that
looks like this (for a 4m hugepage): 0xfff003ff.  The mask should be
flipped and *then* shifted, to give you 0x0000_03fff.

14067ff536 vfs: make gcc generate more obvious code for acl permission checking
The "fsuid is the inode owner" case is not necessarily always the likely
case, but it's the case that doesn't do anything odd and that we want in
straight-line code.  Make gcc not generate random "jump around for the
fun of it" code.

This just helps me read profiles.  That thing is one of the hottest
parts of the whole pathname lookup.

f5bc1e755d CIFS: Fix oops while mounting with prefixpath
commit fec11dd9a0 caused
a regression when we have already mounted //server/share/a
and want to mount //server/share/a/b.

The problem is that lookup_one_len calls __lookup_hash
with nd pointer as NULL. Then __lookup_hash calls
do_revalidate in the case when dentry exists and we end
up with NULL pointer deference in cifs_d_revalidate:

if (nd->flags & LOOKUP_RCU)
	return -ECHILD;

Fix this by checking nd for NULL.

92b8e897f6 btrfs: Don't BUG_ON alloc_path errors in find_next_chunk
I also removed the BUG_ON from error return of find_next_chunk in
init_first_rw_device(). It turns out that the only caller of
init_first_rw_device() also BUGS on any nonzero return so no actual behavior
change has occurred here.

do_chunk_alloc() also needed an update since it calls btrfs_alloc_chunk()
which can now return -ENOMEM. Instead of setting space_info->full on any
error from btrfs_alloc_chunk() I catch and return every error value _except_
-ENOSPC. Thanks goes to Tsutomu Itoh for pointing that issue out.

ed1e6211a0 NFSv4: Don't use the delegation->inode in nfs_mark_return_delegation()
nfs_mark_return_delegation() is usually called without any locking, and
so it is not safe to dereference delegation->inode. Since the inode is
only used to discover the nfs_client anyway, it makes more sense to
have the callers pass a valid pointer to the nfs_server as a parameter.

73ca1001ed nfs: don't use d_move in nfs_async_rename_done
If the task that initiated the sillyrename ends up being killed by a
fatal signal, then it will eventually return back to userspace and end
up releasing the i_mutex. d_move however needs to be done while holding
the i_mutex.

Instead of using d_move here, just unhash the old and new dentries to
prevent them from being found by lookups. With this change though, the
dentries are now incorrect post-rename and do not reflect the actual
name of the file on the server. I'm proceeding under the assumption
that since they are unhashed that this isn't really a problem.

In order for the sillydelete to still work though, the dname must be
copied earlier when setting up the sillydelete info, and the name must
be recopied if the sillydelete info has to be moved to a new dentry.

This moves logic for checking the cached ACL values from low-level
filesystems into generic code.  The end result is a streamlined ACL
check that doesn't need to load the inode->i_op->check_acl pointer at
all for the common cached case.

The filesystems also don't need to check for a non-blocking RCU walk
case in their acl_check() functions, because that is all handled at a
VFS layer.

423e0ab086 VFS : mount lock scalability for internal mounts
For a number of file systems that don't have a mount point (e.g. sockfs
and pipefs), they are not marked as long term. Therefore in
mntput_no_expire, all locks in vfs_mount lock are taken instead of just
local cpu's lock to aggregate reference counts when we release
reference to file objects.  In fact, only local lock need to have been
taken to update ref counts as these file systems are in no danger of
going away until we are ready to unregister them.

The attached patch marks file systems using kern_mount without
mount point as long term.  The contentions of vfs_mount lock
is now eliminated.  Before un-registering such file system,
kern_unmount should be called to remove the long term flag and
make the mount point ready to be freed.

fcc5c22218 writeback: don't busy retry writeback on new/freeing inodes
Fix a system hang bug introduced by commit b7a2441f99 ("writeback:
remove writeback_control.more_io") and e8dfc3058 ("writeback: elevate
queue_io() into wb_writeback()") easily reproducible with high memory
pressure and lots of file creation/deletions, for example, a kernel
build in limited memory.

It hangs when some inode is in the I_NEW, I_FREEING or I_WILL_FREE 
state, the flusher will get stuck busy retrying that inode, never
releasing wb->list_lock. The lock in turn blocks all kinds of other
tasks when they are trying to grab it.

As put by Jan, it's a safe change regarding data integrity. I_FREEING or
I_WILL_FREE inodes are written back by iput_final() and it is reclaim
code that is responsible for eventually removing them. So writeback code
can safely ignore them. I_NEW inodes should move out of this state when
they are fully set up and in the writeback round following that, we will
consider them for writeback. So the change makes sense.
