be1c63411a [PATCH] blktrace: add timestamp message
This adds a new timestamp message to blktrace, giving the timeofday when
we starting tracing. This helps user space correlate block trace events
with eg an application strace.

This requires a (compatible) update to blkparse. The changed blkparse
is still able to process traces generated by older kernels, and older
versions of blkparse should silently ignore the new records (because
they have a pid of 0).

f6e58f01e8 [GFS2] Don't copy meta_header for rgrp in and out
The meta_header for an ondisk rgrp never changes, so there is no point
copying it in and back out to disk. Also there is no reason to keep
a copy for each rgrp in memory.

The code already checks to ensure that the header is correct before
it calls the routine to copy the data in, so that we don't even need
to check whether its correct on disk in the functions in ondisk.c

a9583c7983 [GFS2] Shrink gfs2_inode (7) - di_payload_format
This is almost never used. Its there for backward
compatibility with GFS1. It doesn't need its own
field since it can always be calculated from the
inode mode & flags. This saves a bit more space

af339c0241 [GFS2] Shrink gfs2_inode (1) - di_header/di_num
The metadata header doesn't need to be stored in the incore
struct gfs2_inode since its constant, and this patch removes it.
Also, there is already a field for the inode's number in the

as well.

This saves 28 bytes of space in the struct gfs2_inode.

e81c735967 [NET]: Fix MAX_HEADER setting.
MAX_HEADER is either set to LL_MAX_HEADER or LL_MAX_HEADER + 48, and
this is controlled by a set of CONFIG_* ifdef tests.

It is trying to use LL_MAX_HEADER + 48 when any of the tunnels are
enabled which set hard_header_len like this:

dev->hard_header_len = LL_MAX_HEADER + sizeof(struct xxx);

The correct set of tunnel drivers which do this are:

ipip
ip_gre
ip6_tunnel
sit

so make the ifdef test match.

7014568bad [MTD] [NAND] remove len/ooblen confusion.
As was discussed between Ricard Wanderlöf, David Woodhouse, Artem 
Bityutskiy and me, the current API for reading/writing OOB is confusing. 

The thing that introduces confusion is the need to specify ops.len 
together with ops.ooblen for reads/writes that concern only OOB not data 
area. So, ops.len is overloaded: when ops.datbuf != NULL it serves to 
specify the length of the data read, and when ops.datbuf == NULL, it 
serves to specify the full OOB read length.

The patch inlined below is the slightly updated version of the previous 
patch serving the same purpose, but with the new Artem's comments taken 
into account.

Artem, BTW, thanks a lot for your valuable input!

2ea5814472 Fix 'ALIGN()' macro, take 2
You wouldn't think that doing an ALIGN() macro that aligns something up
to a power-of-two boundary would be likely to have bugs, would you?

But hey, in the wonderful world of mixing integer types, you have to be
careful.  This just makes sure that the alignment is interpreted in the
same type as the thing to be aligned.

Thanks to Roland Dreier, who noticed that the amso1100 driver got broken
by the previous fix (that just extended the mask to "unsigned long", but
was still broken in "unsigned long long" - it just happened to be the
same on 64-bit architectures).

See commit 4c8bd7eeee for the history of
bugs here...

ee3ce191e8 [PATCH] Enforce "unsigned long flags;" when spinlocking
Make it break or warn if you pass to spin_lock_irqsave() and friends
something different from "unsigned long flags;".  Suprisingly large amount
of these was caught by recent commit
c53421b18f and others.

Idea is largely from FRV typechecking. Suggestions from Andrew Morton.
All stupid typos in first version fixed.

Passes allmodconfig on i386, x86_64, alpha, arm as well as my usual config.

Note #1: checking with sparse is still needed, because a driver can save
	 and pass around flags or something. So far patch is very intrusive.
Note #2: techically, we should break only if
		sizeof(flags) < sizeof(unsigned long),
	 however, the more pain for getting suspicious code into kernel,
	 the better.
