2e96d28672 NFS: Fix a warning in nfs4_async_handle_error
We're not modifying the nfs_server when we call nfs_inc_server_stats and
friends, so allow the compiler to pass 'const' pointers too.

34e8f92831 NFS: Move fs/nfs/iostat.h to include/linux
The fs/nfs/iostat.h header has definitions that were designed to be exposed
to user space.  Move these definitions under include/linux so user space can
use the definitions in applications that read /proc/self/mountstats.

Also address a handful of coding style issues called out by checkpatch.pl in
fs/nfs/iostat.h.

b22602a673 SUNRPC: Ensure all transports set rq_xtime consistently
The RPC client uses the rq_xtime field in each RPC request to determine the
round-trip time of the request.  Currently, the rq_xtime field is
initialized by each transport just before it starts enqueing a request to
be sent.  However, transports do not handle initializing this value
consistently; sometimes they don't initialize it at all.

To make the measurement of request round-trip time consistent for all
RPC client transport capabilities, pull rq_xtime initialization into the
RPC client's generic transport logic.  Now all transports will get a
standardized RTT measure automatically, from:

  xprt_transmit()

to

  xprt_complete_rqst()

This makes round-trip time calculation more accurate for the TCP transport.
The socket ->sendmsg() method can return "-EAGAIN" if the socket's output
buffer is full, so the TCP transport's ->send_request() method may call
the ->sendmsg() method repeatedly until it gets all of the request's bytes
queued in the socket's buffer.

Currently, the TCP transport sets the rq_xtime field every time through
that loop so the final value is the timestamp just before the *last* call
to the underlying socket's ->sendmsg() method.  After this patch, the
rq_xtime field contains a timestamp that reflects the time just before the
*first* call to ->sendmsg().

This is consequential under heavy workloads because large requests often
take multiple ->sendmsg() calls to get all the bytes of a request queued.
The TCP transport causes the request to sleep until the remote end of the
socket has received enough bytes to clear space in the socket's local
output buffer.  This delay can be quite significant.

The method introduced by this patch is a more accurate measure of RTT
for stream transports, since the server can cause enough back pressure
to delay (ie increase the latency of) requests from the client.

Additionally, this patch corrects the behavior of the RDMA transport, which
entirely neglected to initialize the rq_xtime field.  RPC performance
metrics for RDMA transports now display correct RPC request round trip
times.

b6b6152c46 rpc: bring back cl_chatty
The cl_chatty flag alows us to control whether a given rpc client leaves

	"server X not responding, timed out"

messages in the syslog.  Such messages make sense for ordinary nfs
clients (where an unresponsive server means applications on the
mountpoint are probably hanging), but not for the callback client (which
can fail more commonly, with the only result just of disabling some
optimizations).

Previously cl_chatty was removed, do to lack of users; reinstate it, and
use it for the nfsd's callback client.

48b605f83c NFS: implement option checking when remounting NFS filesystems (resend)
When remounting an NFS or NFS4 filesystem, the new NFS options are not
respected, yet the remount will still return success. This patch adds
a remount_fs sb op for NFS that checks any new nfs mount options against
the existing ones and fails the mount if any have changed.

This is only implemented for string-based mount options since doing
this with binary options isn't really feasible.

This is essentially the same as the original patch I sent out, but
adds a check to see if the addr= option has changed.

2116271a34 NFS: Add correct bounds checking to NFSv2 locks
NFSv2 file locking currently fails the Connectathon tests, because the
calls to the VFS locking code do not return an EINVAL error if the
struct file_lock overflows the 32-bit boundaries.

The problem is due to the fact that we occasionally call helpers from
fs/locks.c in order to avoid RPC calls to the server when we know that a
local process holds the lock. These helpers are, of course, always
64-bit enabled, so EINVAL is not returned in cases when it would if
the call had gone to the NLM code.

For consistency, we therefore add support for a bounds-checking helper.

more/less data per page so that the alignment of the next entry
changes). We should therefore remove the condition that we only do this on

ffab6cf44e palm_bk3710: fix IDECLK period calculation
The driver uses completely bogus rounding formula for calculating period from

IDECLK) which in turn can lead to overclocked IDE transfer timings.  Actually,
rounding is just wrong in this case, so use a mere division for a safe result.

While at it, also:

- give 'ide_palm_clk' variable a more suitable name;

- get rid of the useless 'ideclkp' variable;

- drop the LISP stype 'p' postfix from the 'clkp' variable's name. :-)

a861beb140 ide: add __ide_default_irq() inline helper
Add __ide_default_irq() inline helper and use it instead of
ide_default_irq() in ide-probe.c and ns87415.c (all host drivers
except IDE PCI ones always setup hwif->irq so it is enough to
check only for I/O bases 0x1f0 and 0x170).

This fixes post-2.6.25 regression since ide_default_irq()
define could shadow ide_default_irq() inline.

86df864249 Correct hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect()
As Andy Whitcroft recently pointed out, the current powerpc version of
huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() has a bug.  It just calls ptep_set_wrprotect()
which in turn calls pte_update() then hpte_need_flush() with the 'huge'
argument set to 0.  This will cause hpte_need_flush() to flush the wrong
hash entries (of any).  Andy's fix for this is already in the powerpc
tree as commit 016b33c495.

I have confirmed this is a real bug, not masked by some other
synchronization, with a new testcase for libhugetlbfs.  A process write
a (MAP_PRIVATE) hugepage mapping, fork(), then alter the mapping and
have the child incorrectly see the second write.

Therefore, this should be fixed for 2.6.26, and for the stable tree.
Here is a suitable patch for 2.6.26, which I think will also be suitable
for the stable tree (neither of the headers in question has been changed
much recently).

It is cut down slighlty from Andy's original version, in that it does
not include a 32-bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect().  Currently,
hugepages are not supported on any 32-bit powerpc platform.  When they
are, a suitable 32-bit version can be added - the only 32-bit hardware
which supports hugepages does not use the conventional hashtable MMU and
so will have different needs anyway.

138c9021ca [S390] protect _PAGE_SPECIAL bit against mprotect
Stop mprotect's pte_modify from wiping out the s390 pte_special bit, which
caused oops thereafter when vm_normal_page thought X's abnormal was normal.
