Loongson builds have an ad-hoc cmdline default of "console=ttyS0,115200
root=/dev/hda1". These settings come from a vendor; I remember builds
from Lemote branch requiring a "console=tty" override in order to get a
working console.
At least on Yeeloong, they're particularly useless: there's no external
serial port, and the IDE drive is now recognised as /dev/sda.

in the __mcount_loc section to filter the function entries configured
through the tracing/set_graph_function interface, but before, this is
set to the self_ra(the return address of mcount), which has made
set_graph_function not work as expected.
This fixes it via calculating the right recorded ip in the __mcount_loc

The old prepare_ftrace_return() for MIPS is confused and have introduced
some problem. This patch cleans up the names of the arguments, variables
and related functions.
For MIPS, the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() is not really the
'selfpc' described in ftrace-design.txt but instead it is the self
return address. This did break the compatibility of the generic
interface but really reduced one unneeded calculation for to get the
current function name, the parent return address and the self return
address are enough, no need to tranform the self return address to the
self address.
But set_graph_function of function graph tracer is an exception, it does
need the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() as 'selfpc', for it
will use 'selfpc' to match user's configuration of function graph
entries, but in reality, it doesn't need the 'selfpc' but the recorded
ip address of the mcount calling site in the __mcount_loc section. So,
the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() is not important, the real
requirement is the right recorded ip address should be calculated and
assign to trace.func, this will be fixed in the next patches.

Fix for a dumb preadv()/pwritev() compat bug - unlike the native
variants, the 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, so IMO it's OK for

When vmscan.c calls page_referenced(), if an anon page was created
before a process forked, rmap will search for it in both of the
processes, even though one of them might have since broken COW.
If the child process mlocks the vma where the COWed page belongs to,
page_referenced() running on the page mapped by the parent would lead to
*vm_flags getting VM_LOCKED set erroneously (leading to the references
on the parent page being ignored and evicting the parent page too
early).
*mapcount would also be decremented by page_referenced_one even if the
page wasn't found by page_check_address.
This also lets pmdp_clear_flush_young_notify() go ahead on a
pmd_trans_splitting() pmd.
We hold the page_table_lock so __split_huge_page_map() must wait the
pmdp_clear_flush_young_notify() to complete before it can modify the
pmd. The pmd is also still mapped in userland so the young bit may
materialize through a tlb miss before split_huge_page_map runs.
This will provide a more accurate page_referenced() behavior during
split_huge_page().

Josef had changed shrink_delalloc to exit after three shrink
attempts, which wasn't quite enough because new writers could
race in and steal free space.
But it also fixed deadlocks and stalls as we tried to recover
delalloc reservations. The code was tweaked to loop 1024
times, and would reset the counter any time a small amount
of progress was made. This was too drastic, and with a
lot of writers we can end up stuck in shrink_delalloc forever.
The shrink_delalloc loop is fairly complex because the caller is looping
too, and the caller will go ahead and force a transaction commit to make
sure we reclaim space.
This reworks things to exit shrink_delalloc when we've forced some
writeback and the delalloc reservations have gone down. This means
the writeback has not just started but has also finished at
least some of the metadata changes required to reclaim delalloc
space.
If we've got this wrong, we're returning ENOSPC too early, which
is a big improvement over the current behavior of hanging the machine.
Test 224 in xfstests hammers on this nicely, and with 1000 writers
trying to fill a 1GB drive we get our first ENOSPC at 93% full. The
other writers are able to continue until we get 100%.
This is a worst case test for btrfs because the 1000 writers are doing
small IO, and the small FS size means we don't have a lot of room
for metadata chunks.

We can hit serious mis-synchronization in bio completion path of
blkdev_issue_zeroout() leading to a panic.
The problem is that when we are going to wait_for_completion() in
blkdev_issue_zeroout() we check if the bb.done equals issued (number of
submitted bios). If it does, we can skip the wait_for_completition()
and just out of the function since there is nothing to wait for.
However, there is a ordering problem because bio_batch_end_io() is
calling atomic_inc(&bb->done) before complete(), hence it might seem to
blkdev_issue_zeroout() that all bios has been completed and exit. At
this point when bio_batch_end_io() is going to call complete(bb->wait),
bb and wait does not longer exist since it was allocated on stack in
blkdev_issue_zeroout() ==> panic!
(thread 1) (thread 2)
bio_batch_end_io() blkdev_issue_zeroout()
if(bb) { ...
if (bb->end_io) ...
bb->end_io(bio, err); ...
atomic_inc(&bb->done); ...
... while (issued != atomic_read(&bb.done))
... (let issued == bb.done)
... (do the rest of the function)
... return ret;
complete(bb->wait);
^^^^^^^^
panic
We can fix this easily by simplifying bio_batch and completion counting.
Also remove bio_end_io_t *end_io since it is not used.

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.

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
