There are a few d_obtain_alias callers that are using it to get the
root of a filesystem which may already have an alias somewhere else.
This is not the same as the filehandle-lookup case, and none of them
actually need DCACHE_DISCONNECTED set.
It isn't really a serious problem, but it would really be clearer if we
reserved DCACHE_DISCONNECTED for those cases where it's actually needed.
In the btrfs case this was causing a spurious printk from
nfsd/nfsfh.c:fh_verify when it found an unexpected DCACHE_DISCONNECTED
dentry. Josef worked around this by unsetting DCACHE_DISCONNECTED
manually in 3a0dfa6a12 "Btrfs: unset DCACHE_DISCONNECTED when mounting
default subvol", and this replaces that workaround.

Rather than playing silly buggers with vfsmount refcounts, just have
acct_on() ask fs/namespace.c for internal clone of file->f_path.mnt
and replace it with said clone. Then attach the pin to original
vfsmount. Voila - the clone will be alive until the file gets closed,
making sure that underlying superblock remains active, etc., and
we can drop the original vfsmount, so that it's not kept busy.
If the file lives until the final mntput of the original vfsmount,
we'll notice that there's an fs_pin (one in bsd_acct_struct that
holds that file) and mnt_pin_kill() will take it out. Since
->kill() is synchronous, we won't proceed past that point until
these files are closed (and private clones of our vfsmount are
gone), so we get the same ordering warranties we used to get.
mnt_pin()/mnt_unpin()/->mnt_pinned is gone now, and good riddance -
it never became usable outside of kernel/acct.c (and racy wrt
umount even there).

Add a new field to fs_pin - kill(pin). That's what umount and r/o remount
will be calling for all pins attached to vfsmount and superblock resp.
Called after bumping the refcount, so it won't go away under us. Dropping
the refcount is responsibility of the instance. All generic stuff moved to
fs/fs_pin.c; the next step will rip all the knowledge of kernel/acct.c from
fs/super.c and fs/namespace.c. After that - death to mnt_pin(); it was
intended to be usable as generic mechanism for code that wants to attach
objects to vfsmount, so that they would not make the sucker busy and
would get killed on umount. Never got it right; it remained acct.c-specific
all along. Now it's very close to being killable.

PG_head_mask was added into VMCOREINFO to filter huge pages in b3acc56bfe
("kexec: save PG_head_mask in VMCOREINFO"), but makedumpfile still need
another symbol to filter *hugetlbfs* pages.
If a user hope to filter user pages, makedumpfile tries to exclude them by
checking the condition whether the page is anonymous, but hugetlbfs pages
aren't anonymous while they also be user pages.
We know it's possible to detect them in the same way as PageHuge(),
so we need the start address of free_huge_page():
int PageHuge(struct page *page)
{
if (!PageCompound(page))
return 0;
page = compound_head(page);
return get_compound_page_dtor(page) == free_huge_page;
}
For that reason, this patch changes free_huge_page() into public

Pull libata regression fix from Tejun Heo:
"The last libata/for-3.16-fixes pull contained a regression introduced
by 1871ee134b ("libata: support the ata host which implements a
queue depth less than 32") which in turn was a fix for a regression
introduced earlier while changing queue tag order to accomodate hard
drives which perform poorly if tags are not allocated in circular
order (ugh...).
The regression happens only for SAS controllers making use of libata
to serve ATA devices. They don't fill an ata_host field which is used
by the new tag allocation function leading to NULL dereference.
This patch adds a new intermediate field ata_host->n_tags which is
initialized for both SAS and !SAS cases to fix the issue"
* 'for-3.16-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata:
libata: introduce ata_host->n_tags to avoid oops on SAS controllers
I triggered VM_BUG_ON() in vma_address() when I tried to migrate an
anonymous hugepage with mbind() in the kernel v3.16-rc3. This is
because pgoff's calculation in rmap_walk_anon() fails to consider
compound_order() only to have an incorrect value.
This patch introduces page_to_pgoff(), which gets the page's offset in
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE.
Kirill pointed out that page cache tree should natively handle
hugepages, and in order to make hugetlbfs fit it, page->index of
hugetlbfs page should be in PAGE_CACHE_SIZE. This is beyond this patch,
but page_to_pgoff() contains the point to be fixed in a single function.

The non-scalar ktime_t implementation is basically a timespec
which has to be changed to support dates past 2038 on 32bit
systems.
This patch removes the non-scalar ktime_t implementation, forcing
the scalar s64 nanosecond version on all architectures.
This may have additional performance overhead on some 32bit
systems when converting between ktime_t and timespec structures,
however the majority of 32bit systems (arm and i386) were already
using scalar ktime_t, so no performance regressions will be seen
on those platforms.
On affected platforms, I'm open to finding optimizations, including
avoiding converting to timespecs where possible.

The read() of timerfd files allows to fetch the number of timer ticks
while there is no way to set it back from userspace.
To restore the timer's state as it was at checkpoint moment we need
a path to bring @ticks back. Initially I thought about writing ticks
back via write() interface but it seems such API is somehow obscure.
Instead implement timerfd_ioctl() method with TFD_IOC_SET_TICKS
command which allows to adjust @ticks into non-zero value waking
up the waiters.
I wrapped code with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE which can be
dropped off if there users except c/r camp appear.
v2 (by akpm@):
- Use define timerfd_ioctl NULL for non c/r config
v3:
- Use copy_from_user for @ticks fetching since
not all arch support get_user for 8 byte argument

Constants CPUFREQ_ENTRY_INVALID and CPUFREQ_TABLE_END are signed, but

Update the macro definitions to be explicitly unsigned to match their
use.
This also corrects potentially wrong behavior of clk_rate_table_iter()
if unsigned long is wider than usigned int.

Recent optimistic spinning additions to rwsem provide significant performance
benefits on many workloads on large machines. The cost of it was increasing
the size of the rwsem structure by up to 128 bits.
However, now that the previous patches in this series bring the overhead of
struct optimistic_spin_queue to 32 bits, this patch reorders some fields in
struct rw_semaphore such that we can reduce the overhead of the rwsem structure
by 64 bits (on 64 bit systems).
The extra overhead required for rwsem optimistic spinning would now be up
to 8 additional bytes instead of up to 16 bytes. Additionally, the size of
rwsem would now be more in line with mutexes.

There are two definitions of struct rw_semaphore, one in linux/rwsem.h
and one in linux/rwsem-spinlock.h.
For some reason they have different names for the initial field. This
makes it impossible to use C99 named initialization for
__RWSEM_INITIALIZER() -- or we have to duplicate that entire thing
along with the structure definitions.
The simpler patch is renaming the rwsem-spinlock variant to match the
regular rwsem.
This allows us to switch to C99 named initialization.

Currently, we initialize the osq lock by directly setting the lock's values. It
would be preferable if we use an init macro to do the initialization like we do
with other locks.
This patch introduces and uses a macro and function for initializing the osq lock.

The cancellable MCS spinlock is currently used to queue threads that are
doing optimistic spinning. It uses per-cpu nodes, where a thread obtaining
the lock would access and queue the local node corresponding to the CPU that
it's running on. Currently, the cancellable MCS lock is implemented by using
pointers to these nodes.
In this patch, instead of operating on pointers to the per-cpu nodes, we
store the CPU numbers in which the per-cpu nodes correspond to in atomic_t.
A similar concept is used with the qspinlock.
By operating on the CPU # of the nodes using atomic_t instead of pointers
to those nodes, this can reduce the overhead of the cancellable MCS spinlock
by 32 bits (on 64 bit systems).

Currently, the per-cpu nodes structure for the cancellable MCS spinlock is
named "optimistic_spin_queue". However, in a follow up patch in the series
we will be introducing a new structure that serves as the new "handle" for
the lock. It would make more sense if that structure is named
"optimistic_spin_queue". Additionally, since the current use of the
"optimistic_spin_queue" structure are "nodes", it might be better if we
rename them to "node" anyway.
This preparatory patch renames all current "optimistic_spin_queue"
to "optimistic_spin_node".
