that it tries only the walk mode (RCU/normal/force revalidation)
it had been told to.

Both create and non-create branches are using path_lookupat() now.
Fixed the double audit_inode() in non-create branch.

take calculation of open_flags by open(2) arguments into new helper
in fs/open.c, move filp_open() over there, have it and do_sys_open()
use that helper, switch exec.c callers of do_filp_open() to explicit
(and constant) struct open_flags.

No point messing with passing shitloads of "operation mode" arguments
to do_open() one by one, especially since they are not going to change
during do_filp_open().  Collect them into a struct, fill it and pass
to do_last() by reference.

Make sure that lookup intent flags are correctly set and removed - we
want them for do_last(), but they make no sense for __do_follow_link().

instead of ad-hackery around need_reval_dot(), do the following:
set a flag (LOOKUP_JUMPED) in the beginning of path, on absolute
symlink traversal, on ".." and on procfs-style symlinks.  Clear on
normal components, leave unchanged on ".".  Non-nested callers of
link_path_walk() call handle_reval_path(), which checks that flag
is set and that fs does want the final revalidate thing, then does
->d_revalidate().  In link_path_walk() all the return_reval stuff
is gone.

Actual dependency on whether we want RCU or not is in 3 small areas
(as it ought to be) and everything around those is the same in both
versions.  Since each function has only one caller and those callers
are on two sides of if (flags & LOOKUP_RCU), it's easier and cleaner
to merge them and pull the checks inside.

modulo -ECHILD/-ESTALE handler.  path_walk* family is gone; vfs_path_lookup()

Fix for a dumb preadv()/pwritev() compat bug - unlike the native
variants, compat_... ones forget to check FMODE_P{READ,WRITE}, so e.g.
on pipe the native preadv() will fail with -ESPIPE and compat one will
act as readv() and succeed.  Not critical, but it's a clear bug with trivial
fix.

    drm/i915: Do not handle backlight combination mode specially

since this commit introduced other regressions due to untouched LBPC
register, e.g. the backlight dimmed after resume.

In addition to the revert, this patch includes a fix for the original
issue (weird backlight levels) by removing the wrong bit shift for
computing the current backlight level.
Also, including typo fixes (lpbc -> lbpc).

Without this patch, inodes are not promptly freed on last close of an
unlinked file by an nfs client:

	client$ mount -tnfs4 server:/export/ /mnt/
	client$ tail -f /mnt/FOO
	...
	server$ df -i /export
	server$ rm /export/FOO
	(^C the tail -f)
	server$ df -i /export
	server$ echo 2 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
	server$ df -i /export

the df's will show that the inode is not freed on the filesystem until
the last step, when it could have been freed after killing the client's
tail -f. On-disk data won't be deallocated either, leading to possible
spurious ENOSPC.

This occurs because when the client does the close, it arrives in a
compound with a putfh and a close, processed like:

	- putfh: look up the filehandle.  The only alias found for the
	  inode will be DCACHE_UNHASHED alias referenced by the filp
	  this, so it creates a new DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry and
	  returns that instead.
	- close: closes the existing filp, which is destroyed
	  immediately by dput() since it's DCACHE_UNHASHED.
	- end of the compound: release the reference
	  to the current filehandle, and dput() the new
	  DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry, which gets put on the
	  unused list instead of being destroyed immediately.

Nick Piggin suggested fixing this by allowing d_obtain_alias to return
the unhashed dentry that is referenced by the filp, instead of making it
create a new dentry.

Leave __d_find_alias() alone to avoid changing behavior of other
callers.

Also nfsd doesn't need all the checks of __d_find_alias(); any dentry,
hashed or unhashed, disconnected or not, should work.

In the fallocate path the kernel doesn't check for the immutable/append
flag. It's possible to have a race condition in this scenario: an
application open a file in read/write and it does something, meanwhile
root set the immutable flag on the file, the application at that point
can call fallocate with success. In addition, we don't allow to do any
unreserve operation on an append only file but only the reserve one.

  net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to load non-netdev kernel modules

Fixes this build-check error:

  include/linux/sysctl.h:28: included file 'linux/rcupdate.h' is not exported
Signed-off-by: NStephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>

Since a8f80e8f any process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/.  This doesn't mean
that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are
limited to /lib/modules/**.  However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't
allow anybody load any module not related to networking.

This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules
with explicit aliases.  This fixes CVE-2011-1019.

Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior
of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes
with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts
that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0".

Currently there are only three users of the feature in the upstream
kernel: ipip, ip_gre and sit.

The combination of commit

8154c5d2 and
93c22703

Broke boot on iSeries.

The problem is that iSeries very early boot code, which generates
the device-tree and runs before our normal early initializations
does need access the lppaca's very early, before the PACA array is
initialized, and in fact even before the boot PACA has been
initialized (it contains all 0's at this stage).

However, the first patch above makes that code use the new
llpaca_of(cpu) accessor, which itself is changed by the second patch to
use the PACA array.

We fix that by reverting iSeries to directly dereferencing the array. In
addition, we fix all iterators in the iSeries code to always skip CPU
whose number is above 63 which is the maximum size of that array and
the maximum number of supported CPUs on these machines.

Additionally, we make sure the boot_paca is properly initialized
in our early startup code.
