There seems to be a common pattern in the kernel where drivers want to
call request_module() from inside a module_init() function. Currently
this would deadlock.

As a result, several drivers go through hoops like scheduling things via
kevent, or creating custom work queues (because kevent can deadlock on them).

This patch changes this to use a request_module_nowait() function macro instead,
which just fires the modprobe off but doesn't wait for it, and thus avoids the
original deadlock entirely.

On my laptop this already results in one less kernel thread running..

Impact: Expose some module.c symbols

Ksplice uses several functions from module.c in order to resolve
symbols and implement dependency handling.  Calling these functions
requires holding module_mutex, so it is exported.

kallsyms_on_each_symbol provides a generic mechanism for iterating over the

Impact: Replace and remove risky (non-EXPORTed) API

module_text_address() returns a pointer to the module, which given locking
improvements in module.c, is useless except to test for NULL:

1) If the module can't go away, use __module_text_address.
2) Otherwise, just use is_module_text_address().

Impact: New API, cleanup

ksplice wants to know the bounds of a module, not just the module text.

It makes sense to have __module_address.  We then implement
is_module_address and __module_text_address in terms of this (and
change is_module_text_address() to bool while we're at it).

Also, add proper kerneldoc for them all.

Impact: fix crash on reading from /sys/module/.../ieee80211_default_rc_algo

The module_param type "charp" simply sets a char * pointer in the
module to the parameter in the commandline string: this is why we keep
the (mangled) module command line around.  But when set via sysfs (as
about 11 charp parameters can be) this memory is freed on the way
out of the write().  Future reads hit random mem.

So we kstrdup instead: we have to check we're not in early commandline
parsing, and we have to note when we've used it so we can reliably
kfree the parameter when it's next overwritten, and also on module
unload.

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.

We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.

But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.

->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.

rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.

Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.

So, let's nuke it.

Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

The radeonfb driver needs to program the device's PMCSR directly due
to some quirky hardware it has to handle (see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12846 for details) and
after doing that it needs to call the platform (usually ACPI) to
finish the power transition of the device.  Currently it uses
pci_set_power_state() for this purpose, however making a specific
assumption about the internal behavior of this function, which has
changed recently so that this assumption is no longer satisfied.
For this reason, introduce __pci_complete_power_transition() that may
be called by the radeonfb driver to complete the power transition of
the device.  For symmetry, introduce __pci_start_power_transition().

Introduce helper functions allowing us to prevent device drivers from
getting any interrupts (without disabling interrupts on the CPU)
during suspend (or hibernation) and to make them start to receive
interrupts again during the subsequent resume.  These functions make it
possible to keep timer interrupts enabled while the "late" suspend and
"early" resume callbacks provided by device drivers are being
executed.  In turn, this allows device drivers' "late" suspend and
"early" resume callbacks to sleep, execute ACPI callbacks etc.

The functions introduced here will be used to rework the handling of
interrupts during suspend (hibernation) and resume.  Namely,
interrupts will only be disabled on the CPU right before suspending
sysdevs, while device drivers will be prevented from receiving
interrupts, with the help of the new helper function, before their
"late" suspend callbacks run (and analogously during resume).

The current reiserfs xattr implementation open codes reiserfs_readdir
and frees the path before calling the filldir function.  Typically, the
filldir function is something that modifies the file system, such as a
chown or an inode deletion that also require reading of an inode
associated with each direntry.  Since the file system is modified, the
path retained becomes invalid for the next run.  In addition, it runs
backwards in attempt to minimize activity.

This is clearly suboptimal from a code cleanliness perspective as well
as performance-wise.

This patch implements a generic reiserfs_for_each_xattr that uses the
generic readdir and a specific filldir routine that simply populates an
array of dentries and then performs a specific operation on them.  When
all files have been operated on, it then calls the operation on the
directory itself.

The result is a noticable code reduction and better performance.

Deadlocks are possible in the xattr code between the journal lock and the
xattr sems.

This patch implements journalling for xattr operations. The benefit is
twofold:
 * It gets rid of the deadlock possibility by always ensuring that xattr
   write operations are initiated inside a transaction.
 * It corrects the problem where xattr backing files aren't considered any
   differently than normal files, despite the fact they are metadata.

I discussed the added journal load with Chris Mason, and we decided that
since xattrs (versus other journal activity) is fairly rare, the introduction
of larger transactions to support journaled xattrs wouldn't be too big a deal.

Christoph Hellwig had asked me quite some time ago to port the reiserfs
xattrs to the generic xattr interface.

This patch replaces the reiserfs-specific xattr handling code with the
generic struct xattr_handler.

However, since reiserfs doesn't split the prefix and name when accessing
xattrs, it can't leverage generic_{set,get,list,remove}xattr without
needlessly reconstructing the name on the back end.

The current reiserfs xattr implementation will not clean up old xattr
files if files are deleted when REISERFS_FS_XATTR is unset.  This
results in inaccessible lost files, wasting space.

This patch compiles in basic xattr knowledge, such as how to delete them
and change ownership for quota tracking.  If the file system has never
used xattrs, then the operation is quite fast: it returns immediately
when it sees there is no .reiserfs_priv directory.

This patch fixes up the reiserfs code such that transaction ids are
always unsigned ints.  In places they can currently be signed ints or
unsigned longs.

The former just causes an annoying clm-2200 warning and may join a
transaction when it should wait.

The latter is just for correctness since the disk format uses a 32-bit
transaction id.  There aren't any runtime problems that result from it
not wrapping at the correct location since the value is truncated
correctly even on big endian systems.  The 0 value might make it to
disk, but the mount-time checks will bump it to 10 itself.
