Both usb.h and device.h have collections of convenience macros for
printk() with the KERN_ERR, KERN_WARNING, and KERN_NOTICE severity
levels. This patch adds macros for the KERN_NOTICE level which was
so far uncatered for.
These macros already exist privately in drivers/isdn/gigaset/gigaset.h
(currently in the process of being submitted for the kernel tree)
but they really belong with their brothers and sisters in
include/linux/{device,usb}.h.

The module files, refcnt, version, and srcversion did not properly
increment the owner's module reference count, allowing the modules to
be removed while the files were open, causing oopses.
This patch fixes this, and also fixes the problem that the version and
srcversion files were not showing up, unless CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD was
enabled, which is not correct.

Hi,
When a network interface goes into promiscuous mode, its an important security
issue. The attached patch is intended to capture that action and send an
event to the audit system.
The patch carves out a new block of numbers for kernel detected anomalies.
These are events that may indicate suspicious activity. Other examples of
potential kernel anomalies would be: exceeding disk quota, rlimit violations,
changes to syscall entry table.

This patch extends existing audit records with subject/object context
information. Audit records associated with filesystem inodes, ipc, and
tasks now contain SELinux label information in the field "subj" if the
item is performing the action, or in "obj" if the item is the receiver
of an action.
These labels are collected via hooks in SELinux and appended to the
appropriate record in the audit code.
This additional information is required for Common Criteria Labeled
Security Protection Profile (LSPP).

- Add a new, 5th filter called "exclude".
- And add a new field AUDIT_MSGTYPE.
- Define a new function audit_filter_exclude() that takes a message type
as input and examines all rules in the filter. It returns '1' if the
message is to be excluded, and '0' otherwise.
- Call the audit_filter_exclude() function near the top of
audit_log_start() just after asserting audit_initialized. If the
message type is not to be audited, return NULL very early, before
doing a lot of work.

This patch augments the collection of inode info during syscall
processing. It represents part of the functionality that was provided
by the auditfs patch included in RHEL4.
Specifically, it:
- Collects information for target inodes created or removed during
syscalls. Previous code only collects information for the target
inode's parent.
- Adds the audit_inode() hook to syscalls that operate on a file
descriptor (e.g. fchown), enabling audit to do inode filtering for
these calls.
- Modifies filtering code to check audit context for either an inode #
or a parent inode # matching a given rule.
- Modifies logging to provide inode # for both parent and child.
- Protect debug info from NULL audit_names.name.

Currently, audit only supports the "=" and "!=" operators in the -F
filter rules.
This patch reworks the support for "=" and "!=", and adds support
for ">", ">=", "<", and "<=".
This turned out to be a pretty clean, and simply process. I ended up
using the high order bits of the "field", as suggested by Steve and Amy.
This allowed for no changes whatsoever to the netlink communications.
See the documentation within the patch in the include/linux/audit.h
area, where there is a table that explains the reasoning of the bitmask
assignments clearly.
The patch adds a new function, audit_comparator(left, op, right).
This function will perform the specified comparison (op, which defaults
to "==" for backward compatibility) between two values (left and right).
If the negate bit is on, it will negate whatever that result was. This
value is returned.

Kudos to Neil Brown for spotting the problem:
"in nfs_sync_inode, there is effectively the sequence:
nfs_wait_on_requests
nfs_flush_inode
nfs_commit_inode
This seems a bit racy to me as if the only requests are on the
->commit list, and nfs_commit_inode is called separately after
nfs_wait_on_requests completes, and before nfs_commit_inode start
(say: by nfs_write_inode) then none of these function will return
>0, yet there will be some pending request that aren't waited for."
The solution is to search for requests to wait upon, search for dirty
requests, and search for uncommitted requests while holding the
nfsi->req_lock
The patch also cleans up nfs_sync_inode(), getting rid of the redundant
FLUSH_WAIT flag. It turns out that we were always setting it.

Currently lockd directly access the file_lock_list from fs/locks.c.
It does so to mark locks granted or reclaimable. This is very
suboptimal, because a) lockd needs to poke into locks.c internals, and
b) it needs to iterate over all locks in the system for marking locks
granted or reclaimable.
This patch adds lists for granted and reclaimable locks to the nlm_host
structure instead, and adds locks to those.
nlmclnt_lock:
now adds the lock to h_granted instead of setting the
NFS_LCK_GRANTED, still O(1)
nlmclnt_mark_reclaim:
goes away completely, replaced by a list_splice_init.
Complexity reduced from O(locks in the system) to O(1)
reclaimer:
iterates over h_reclaim now, complexity reduced from
O(locks in the system) to O(locks per nlm_host)

Currently NFS O_DIRECT writes use FILE_SYNC so that a COMMIT is not
necessary. This simplifies the internal logic, but this could be a
difficult workload for some servers.
Instead, let's send UNSTABLE writes, and after they all complete, send a
COMMIT for the dirty range. After the COMMIT returns successfully, then do
the wake_up or fire off aio_complete().
Test plan:
Async direct I/O tests against Solaris (or any server that requires
committed unstable writes). Reboot server during test.

Duplicate infrastructure from direct read path that will allow write
path to generate multiple write requests concurrently. This will
enable us to add support for aio in this path.
Temporarily we will lose the ability to do UNSTABLE writes followed by
a COMMIT in the direct write path. However, all applications I am
aware of that use NFS O_DIRECT currently write in relatively small
chunks, so this should not be inconvenient in any way.

This patch inverts the callback hierarchy for NFS write calls.
Instead of having the NFSv2/v3/v4-specific code set up the RPC callback
ops, we allow the original caller to do so. This allows for more
flexibility w.r.t. how to set up and tear down the nfs_write_data
structure while still allowing the NFSv3/v4 code to perform error
handling.
The greater flexibility is needed by the asynchronous O_DIRECT code, which
wants to be able to hold on to the original nfs_write_data structures after
the WRITE RPC call has completed in order to be able to replay them if the
COMMIT call determines that the server has rebooted.

Currently lockd identifies its own locks using the FL_LOCKD flag. This
doesn't scale well to multiple lock managers--if we did this in nfsv4 too,
for example, we'd be left with only one free flag bit.
Instead, we just check whether the file manager ops (fl_lmops) set on this
lock are our own.
The only use for this is in nlm_traverse_locks, which uses it to find locks
that need cleaning up when freeing a host or a file.
In the long run it might be nice to do reference counting instead of
traversing all the locks like this....

posix_test_lock() returns a pointer to a struct file_lock which is unprotected
and can be removed while in use by the caller. Move the conflicting lock from
the return to a parameter, and copy the conflicting lock.
In most cases the caller ends up putting the copy of the conflicting lock on
the stack. On i386, sizeof(struct file_lock) appears to be about 100 bytes.
