3134cbec5e locks.c: add the fl_owner to nlm_compare_locks
Add the fl_owner to NLM compare locks. Since two different client can
present the same pid to the server it is not enough to distinguish locks
from different clients. The fl_owner field is a pointer to the struct
nlm_host which is unique for each client.

6b97fd3da1 NFSv4: Follow a referral
Respond to a moved error on NFS lookup by setting up the referral.
Note: We don't actually follow the referral during lookup/getattr, but
later when we detect fsid mismatch in inode revalidation (similar to the
processing done for cloning submounts). Referrals will have fake attributes
until they are actually followed or traversed.

683b57b435 NFSv4: Implement the fs_locations function call
NFSv4 allows for the fact that filesystems may be replicated across
several servers or that they may be migrated to a backup server in case of
failure of the primary server.
fs_locations is an NFSv4 operation for retrieving information about the
location of migrated and/or replicated filesystems.

bb4a58bf46 VFS: Add GPL_EXPORTED function vfs_kern_mount()
do_kern_mount() does not allow the kernel to use private mount interfaces
without exposing the same interfaces to userland. The problem is that the
filesystem is referenced by name, thus meaning that it and its mount
interface must be registered in the global filesystem list.

vfs_kern_mount() passes the struct file_system_type as an explicit
parameter in order to overcome this limitation.

651d765d0b [PATCH] Add a prctl to change the endianness of a process.
This new prctl is intended for changing the execution mode of the
processor, on processors that support both a little-endian mode and a
big-endian mode.  It is intended for use by programs such as
instruction set emulators (for example an x86 emulator on PowerPC),
which may find it convenient to use the processor in an alternate
endianness mode when executing translated instructions.

Note that this does not imply the existence of a fully-fledged ABI for
both endiannesses, or of compatibility code for converting system
calls done in the non-native endianness mode.  The program is expected
to arrange for all of its system call arguments to be presented in the
native endianness.

Switching between big and little-endian mode will require some care in
constructing the instruction sequence for the switch.  Generally the
instructions up to the instruction that invokes the prctl system call
will have to be in the old endianness, and subsequent instructions
will have to be in the new endianness.

bc1c116974 [PATCH] elevator switching race
There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the
next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be
invoked with bad or NULL data.

To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer.
Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be
run without the lock held.  This isn't easily fixable, without also
changing the mempool API.  So split the initialization into two parts,
and alloc-init operation and an attach operation.  Then we can
preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach
inside the lock after we detach the old one.

This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching
with a very busy io load.

  "It only fixed the theoretical issue that a quick-handed user could
   switch to X after processes have been frozen and before the devices

084fe639b8 [PATCH] libata-hp: implement hotplug
Implement ATA part of hotplug.  To avoid probing broken devices over
and over again, disabled devices are not automatically detached.  They
are detached only if probing is requested for the device or the
associated port is offline.  Also, to avoid infinite probing loop,
Each device is probed only once per EH run.

As SATA PHY status is fragile, devices are detached only after it has
used up its recovery chances unless explicitly requested by LLDD or
user (LLDD may request direct detach if, for example, it supports cold
presence detection).

f5914a461e [PATCH] libata-hp-prep: add prereset() method and implement ata_std_prereset()
With hotplug, every reset might be a probing reset and thus something
similar to probe_init() is needed.  prereset() method is called before
a series of resets to a port and is the counterpart of postreset().
prereset() can tell EH to use different type of reset or skip reset by
modifying ehc->i.action.

This patch also implements ata_std_prereset().  Most controllers
should be able to use this function directly or with some wrapping.
After hotplug, different controllers need different actions to resume
the PHY and detect the newly attached device.  Controllers can be
categorized as follows.

* Controllers which can wait for the first D2H FIS after hotplug.
  Note that if the waiting is implemented by polling TF status, there
  needs to be a way to set BSY on PHY status change.  It can be
  implemented by hardware or with the help of the driver.

* Controllers which can wait for the first D2H FIS after sending
  COMRESET.  These controllers need to issue COMRESET to wait for the
  first FIS.  Note that the received D2H FIS could be the first D2H
  FIS after POR (power-on-reset) or D2H FIS in response to the
  COMRESET.  Some controllers use COMRESET as TF status
  synchronization point and clear TF automatically (sata_sil).

* Controllers which cannot wait for the first D2H FIS reliably.
  Blindly issuing SRST to spinning-up device often results in command
  issue failure or timeout, causing extended delay.  For these
  controllers, ata_std_prereset() explicitly waits ATA_SPINUP_WAIT
  (currently 8s) to give newly attached device time to spin up, then
  issues reset.  Note that failing to getting ready in ATA_SPINUP_WAIT
  is not critical.  libata will retry.  So, the timeout needs to be
  long enough to spin up most devices.

LLDDs can tell ata_std_prereset() which of above action is needed with
ATA_FLAG_HRST_TO_RESUME and ATA_FLAG_SKIP_D2H_BSY flags.  These flags
are PHY-specific property and will be moved to ata_link later.

While at it, this patch unifies function typedef's such that they all
have named arguments.

d7bb4cc757 [PATCH] libata-hp-prep: implement sata_phy_debounce()
With hotplug, PHY always needs to be debounced before a reset as any
reset might find new devices.  Extract PHY waiting code from
sata_phy_resume() and extend it to include SStatus debouncing.  Note
that sata_phy_debounce() is superset of what used to be done inside
sata_phy_resume().

Three default debounce timing parameters are defined to be used by
hot/boot plug.  As resume failure during probing will be properly
handled as errors, timeout doesn't have to be long as before.
probeinit() uses the same timeout to retain the original behavior.

(due to zombie opens, etc...) interfere with the lookup.

f1a28c0284 [MTD] NAND Expose the new raw mode function and status info to userspace
The raw read/write access to NAND (without ECC) has been changed in the
NAND rework. Expose the new way - setting the file mode via ioctl - to
userspace. Also allow to read out the ecc statistics information so userspace
tools can see that bitflips happened and whether errors where correctable
or not. Also expose the number of bad blocks for the partition, so nandwrite
can check if the data fits into the parition before writing to it.

8593fbc68b [MTD] Rework the out of band handling completely
Hopefully the last iteration on this!

The handling of out of band data on NAND was accompanied by tons of fruitless
discussions and halfarsed patches to make it work for a particular
problem. Sufficiently annoyed by I all those "I know it better" mails and the
resonable amount of discarded "it solves my problem" patches, I finally decided
to go for the big rework. After removing the _ecc variants of mtd read/write
functions the solution to satisfy the various requirements was to refactor the
read/write _oob functions in mtd.

The major change is that read/write_oob now takes a pointer to an operation
descriptor structure "struct mtd_oob_ops".instead of having a function with at
least seven arguments.

read/write_oob which should probably renamed to a more descriptive name, can do
the following tasks:

- read/write out of band data
- read/write data content and out of band data
- read/write raw data content and out of band data (ecc disabled)

struct mtd_oob_ops has a mode field, which determines the oob handling mode.

Aside of the MTD_OOB_RAW mode, which is intended to be especially for
diagnostic purposes and some internal functions e.g. bad block table creation,
the other two modes are for mtd clients:

MTD_OOB_PLACE puts/gets the given oob data exactly to/from the place which is
described by the ooboffs and ooblen fields of the mtd_oob_ops strcuture. It's
up to the caller to make sure that the byte positions are not used by the ECC
placement algorithms.

MTD_OOB_AUTO puts/gets the given oob data automaticaly to/from the places in
the out of band area which are described by the oobfree tuples in the ecclayout
data structre which is associated to the devicee.

The decision whether data plus oob or oob only handling is done depends on the
setting of the datbuf member of the data structure. When datbuf == NULL then
the internal read/write_oob functions are selected, otherwise the read/write
data routines are invoked.

Tested on a few platforms with all variants. Please be aware of possible
regressions for your particular device / application scenario

Disclaimer: Any whining will be ignored from those who just contributed "hot
air blurb" and never sat down to tackle the underlying problem of the mess in
the NAND driver grown over time and the big chunk of work to fix up the
existing users. The problem was not the holiness of the existing MTD
interfaces. The problems was the lack of time to go for the big overhaul. It's
easy to add more mess to the existing one, but it takes alot of effort to go
for a real solution.

Improvements and bugfixes are welcome!

f4a43cfcec [MTD] Remove silly MTD_WRITE/READ macros
Most of those macros are unused and the used ones just obfuscate
the code. Remove them and fixup all users.

5bd34c091a [MTD] NAND Replace oobinfo by ecclayout
The nand_oobinfo structure is not fitting the newer error correction
demands anymore. Replace it by struct nand_ecclayout and fixup the users
all over the place. Keep the nand_oobinfo based ioctl for user space
compability reasons.

ff268fb879 [MTD] NAND Consolidate oobinfo handling
The info structure for out of band data was copied into
the mtd structure. Make it a pointer and remove the ability
to set it from userspace. The position of ecc bytes is
defined by the hardware and should not be changed by software.
