This fixes a scalability problem reported by Andi Kleen and Tim Chen;
they were quite secretive about the precise nature of their workload,
but they later admitted that it only showed up when they were using a
large sparse file, so the amount of data I/O that was needed was close
to zero. I'm not sure how realistic this is and it's only a
regression if you consider changes made since 2.6.39 to be a
"regression" vis-a-vis the policy regarding post-merge window bug
fixes, but Linus agreed it was worth fixing, so I'm including it in
this pull request.
This also fixes the journalled quota mount options, which I
accidentally broke while I was cleaning up the mount option handling.

slower than on 3.3 because I removed the ideal caching code. It turns out
that we don't load the free space cache if we're in a commit for deadlock
reasons, but since we're reading the cache and it hasn't changed yet we are
safe reading the inode and free space item from the commit root, so do that
and remove all of the deadlock checks so we don't unnecessarily skip loading
the free space cache. The user reported this fixed the slowness. Thanks,

Allow a v3 unchecked open of a non-regular file succeed as if it were a
lookup; typically a client in such a case will want to fall back on a
local open, so succeeding and giving it the filehandle is more useful
than failing with nfserr_exist, which makes it appear that nothing at
all exists by that name.
Similarly for v4, on an open-create, return the same errors we would on
an attempt to open a non-regular file, instead of returning
nfserr_exist.
This fixes a problem found doing a v4 open of a symlink with
O_RDONLY|O_CREAT, which resulted in the current client returning EEXIST.

In scsi at least two cases of the parent device being deleted before the
child is added have been observed.
1/ scsi is performing async scans and the device is removed prior to the
async can thread running (can happen with an in-opportune / unlikely
unplug during initial scan).
2/ libsas discovery event running after the parent port has been torn
down (this is a bug in libsas).
Result in crash signatures like:

In this scenario the parent is still valid (because we have a
reference), but it has been device_del()'d which means its kobj->sd
pointer is NULL'd via:
device_del()->kobject_del()->sysfs_remove_dir()
...and then sysfs_create_dir() (without this fix) goes ahead and
de-references parent_sd via sysfs_ns_type():
return (sd->s_flags & SYSFS_NS_TYPE_MASK) >> SYSFS_NS_TYPE_SHIFT;
This scenario is being fixed in scsi/libsas, but if other subsystems
present the same ordering the system need not immediately crash.

This patch allows caching of the rindex glock. We were previously
setting the GL_NOCACHE bit when the glock was released. That forced
the rindex inode to be invalidated, which caused us to re-read
rindex at the next access. However, it caused the glock to be
unnecessarily bounced around the cluster. This patch allows
the glock to remain cached, but it still causes the rindex to be
re-read once it has been written to by gfs2_grow.

I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
them. This is preparation for that.
This moves them into an architecture-specific header file. It's
architecture-specific for two reasons:
- some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
implementations. Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
bit count instruction, for example.
- I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
particular the actual unaligned accesses). So we're likely to have
more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
this.
(and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
right thing to do, of course)

11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it
invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't. Let the natural sequence
generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE
settings, guide the tcp_push() calls.
Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch
effectively into GSO/TSO clusters.
From Eric Dumazet.
12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a
socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we
cannot touch it after queueing it like that.
Fixes from Eric Dumazet.
13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it
immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer
to transmit the PPP frame.
But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the
TX queue right before returning from the transmit method.
Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should
only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.
David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until
it's downstream can't take data any more.

commit 2f53384424 (tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packets) added
a regression for splice() calls using SPLICE_F_MORE.
We need to call tcp_flush() at the end of the last page processed in
tcp_sendpages(), or else transmits can be deferred and future sends
stall.
Add a new internal flag, MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, acting like MSG_MORE, but
with different semantic.
For all sendpage() providers, its a transparent change. Only
sock_sendpage() and tcp_sendpages() can differentiate the two different
flags provided by pipe_to_sendpage()

can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().

debugfs and a few other drivers use an open-coded version of
simple_open() to pass a pointer from the file to the read/write file
ops. Add support for this simple case to libfs so that we can remove
the many duplicate copies of this simple function.

It was introduced by d1d5e05ffd ("hugetlbfs: return error code when
initializing module") but as Al pointed out, is a bad idea.
Quoted comments from Al:
"Note that unregister_filesystem() in module init is *always* wrong;
it's not an issue here (it's done too early to care about and
realistically the box is not going anywhere - it'll panic when attempt
to exec /sbin/init fails, if not earlier), but it's a damn bad
example.
Consider a normal fs module. Somebody loads it and in parallel with
that we get a mount attempt on that fs type. It comes between
register and failure exits that causes unregister; at that point we
are screwed since grabbing a reference to module as done by mount is
enough to prevent exit, but not to prevent the failure of init. As
the result, module will get freed when init fails, mounted fs of that
type be damned."
So remove it.

This allocation can be as large as 64k.
- Add __GFP_NOWARN so the a falied kmalloc() is silent
- Fall back to vmalloc() if the kmalloc() failed

This allocation can be as large as 64k. As David points out, "falling
back to vmalloc here is much better solution than failing to retreive
the attribute - it will work no matter how fragmented memory gets. That
means we don't get incomplete backups occurring after days or months of
uptime and successful backups".

This size is user controllable, up to a maximum of XATTR_LIST_MAX (64k).
So it's trivial for someone to trigger a stream of order:4 page
allocation errors.
