      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix · 54566b2c
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
      could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
      allocations happened.  They are done in write_begin, which would always
      assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim.  This bug could
      cause filesystem deadlocks.
      
      The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
      allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
      called.  It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
      take the page lock.  The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
      anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
      
      Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS.  Filesystems can now act on
      this flag in their write_begin function.  Change __grab_cache_page to
      accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
      change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
      and does away with random leading underscores).
      
      This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
      filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
      ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
      GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg.  ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
      random example).

      [JFFS2] Tidy up licensing/copyright boilerplate. · c00c310e
      David Woodhouse 提交于
      In particular, remove the bit in the LICENCE file about contacting
      Red Hat for alternative arrangements. Their errant IS department broke
      that arrangement a long time ago -- the policy of collecting copyright
      assignments from contributors came to an end when the plug was pulled on
      the servers hosting the project, without notice or reason.
      
      We do still dual-license it for use with eCos, with the GPL+exception
      licence approved by the FSF as being GPL-compatible. It's just that nobody
      has the right to license it differently.

      [JFFS2] Reduce excessive node count for syslog files. · cf5eba53
      David Woodhouse 提交于
      We currently get fairly poor behaviour with files which get many short
      writes, such as system logs. This is because we end up with many tiny
      data nodes, and the rbtree gets massive. None of these nodes are
      actually obsolete, so they are counted as 'clean' space. Eraseblocks can
      be entirely full of these nodes (which are REF_NORMAL instead of
      REF_PRISTINE), and still they count entirely towards 'used_size' and the
      eraseblocks can sit on the clean_list for a long time without being
      picked for GC.
      
      One way to alleviate this in the long term is to account REF_NORMAL
      space separately from REF_PRISTINE space, rather than counting them both
      towards used_size. Then these eraseblocks can be picked for GC and the
      offending nodes will be garbage collected.
      
      The short-term fix, though -- which probably makes sense even if we do
      eventually implement the above -- is to merge these nodes as they're
      written. When we write the last byte in a page, write the _whole_ page.
      This obsoletes the earlier nodes in the page _immediately_ and we don't
      even need to wait for the garbage collection to do it.

      [JFFS2][XATTR] XATTR support on JFFS2 (version. 5) · aa98d7cf
      KaiGai Kohei 提交于
      This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and
      SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5).
      
      There are some significant differences from previous version posted
      at last December.
      The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support.
      Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize
      xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype.
      
      In addition, some bugs are fixed.
      - A potential race condition was fixed.
      - Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed.
      - A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed.
      
      The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion
      mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed
      and updated if necessary.
      Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to
      load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
