057f6c019f security: prevent permission checking of file removal via sysfs_remove_group()
Prevent permission checking from being performed when the kernel wants to
unconditionally remove a sysfs group, by introducing an kernel-only variant
of lookup_one_len(), lookup_one_len_kern().

Additionally, as sysfs_remove_group() does not check the return value of
the lookup before using it, a BUG_ON has been added to pinpoint the cause
of any problems potentially caused by this (and as a form of annotation).

8341897882 ocfs2: Cache extent records
The extent map code was ripped out earlier because of an inability to deal
with holes. This patch adds back a simpler caching scheme requiring far less
code.

Our old extent map caching was designed back when meta data block caching in
Ocfs2 didn't work very well, resulting in many disk reads. These days our
metadata caching is much better, resulting in no un-necessary disk reads. As
a result, extent caching doesn't have to be as fancy, nor does it have to
cache as many extents. Keeping the last 3 extents seen should be sufficient
to give us a small performance boost on some streaming workloads.

5b04aa3a64 [PATCH] Turn do_sync_file_range() into do_sync_mapping_range()
do_sync_file_range() accepts a file * from which it takes an address_space to
sync.  Abstract out the bulk of the function into do_sync_mapping_range()
which takes the address_space directly.  This way callers who want to sync an
address_space directly can take advantage of the functionality provided.

do_sync_file_range() is preserved as a small wrapper around
do_sync_mapping_range().

Ocfs2 in particular would like to use this to initiate a sync of a specific
inode range during truncate, where a file * may not be available.

abf8b15694 ocfs2: abstract out allocation locking
Right now, file allocation for ocfs2 is done within ocfs2_extend_file(),
which is either called from ->setattr() (for an i_size change), or at the
top of ocfs2_file_aio_write().

Inodes on file systems with sparse file support will want to do their
allocation during the actual write call.

In either case the cluster locking decisions are the same. We abstract out
that code into a new function, ocfs2_lock_allocators() which will be used by
a later patch to enable writing to sparse files.

This also provides a nice cleanup of ocfs2_extend_allocation().

3a0782d09c ocfs2: teach extend/truncate about sparse files
For ocfs2_truncate_file(), we eliminate the "simple" truncate case which no
longer exists since i_size is not tied to i_clusters. In
ocfs2_extend_file(), we skip the allocation / page zeroing code for file
systems which understand sparse files.

The core truncate code is changed to do a bottom up tree traversal. This
gets abstracted out into it's own function. To make things more readable,
most of the special case handling for in-inode extents from
ocfs2_do_truncate() is also removed.

Though write support for sparse files comes in a later patch, we at least
update ocfs2_prepare_inode_for_write() to skip allocation for sparse files.

cast skb member helpers.

ae40eb1ef3 [NET]: Introduce SIOCGSTAMPNS ioctl to get timestamps with nanosec resolution
Now network timestamps use ktime_t infrastructure, we can add a new
ioctl() SIOCGSTAMPNS command to get timestamps in 'struct timespec'.
User programs can thus access to nanosecond resolution.

9b7f375505 reiserfs: fix xattr root locking/refcount bug
The listxattr() and getxattr() operations are only protected by a read
lock.  As a result, if either of these operations run in parallel, a race
condition exists where the xattr_root will end up being cached twice, which
results in the leaking of a reference and a BUG() on umount.

This patch refactors get_xa_root(), __get_xa_root(), and create_xa_root(),
into one get_xa_root() function that takes the appropriate locking around
the entire critical section.
