c08d3b0e33 truncate: use new helpers
Update some fs code to make use of new helper functions introduced
in the previous patch. Should be no significant change in behaviour
(except CIFS now calls send_sig under i_lock, via inode_newsize_ok).

We do this automatically in get_sb_bdev() from the set_bdev_super()

must assign that in ->fill_super().

487ea5af63 fuse: limit user-specified values of max background requests
An untrusted user could DoS the system if s/he were allowed to accumulate an
arbitrary number of pending background requests by setting the above limits
to extremely high values in INIT. This patch excludes this possibility by
imposing global upper limits on the possible values of per-mount "max
background requests" and "congestion threshold" parameters for unprivileged
FUSE filesystems.

These global limits are implemented as module parameters.

d6db07ded5 fuse: use drop_nlink() instead of direct nlink manipulation
drop_nlink() is the API function to decrease the link count of an inode.
However, at a place the control filesystem used the decrement operator

3b463ae0c6 fuse: invalidation reverse calls
Add notification messages that allow the filesystem to invalidate VFS
caches.

Two notifications are added:

 1) inode invalidation

   - invalidate cached attributes
   - invalidate a range of pages in the page cache (this is optional)

 2) dentry invalidation

   - try to invalidate a subtree in the dentry cache

Care must be taken while accessing the 'struct super_block' for the
mount, as it can go away while an invalidation is in progress.  To
prevent this, introduce a rw-semaphore, that is taken for read during
the invalidation and taken for write in the ->kill_sb callback.

e0a43ddcc0 fuse: allow umask processing in userspace
This patch lets filesystems handle masking the file mode on creation.
This is needed if filesystem is using ACLs.

 - The CREATE, MKDIR and MKNOD requests are extended with a "umask"
   parameter.

 - A new FUSE_DONT_MASK flag is added to the INIT request/reply.  With
   this the filesystem may request that the create mode is not masked.

151060ac13 CUSE: implement CUSE - Character device in Userspace
CUSE enables implementing character devices in userspace.  With recent
additions of ioctl and poll support, FUSE already has most of what's
necessary to implement character devices.  All CUSE has to do is
bonding all those components - FUSE, chardev and the driver model -
nicely.

When client opens /dev/cuse, kernel starts conversation with
CUSE_INIT.  The client tells CUSE which device it wants to create.  As
the previous patch made fuse_file usable without associated
fuse_inode, CUSE doesn't create super block or inodes.  It attaches
fuse_file to cdev file->private_data during open and set ff->fi to
NULL.  The rest of the operation is almost identical to FUSE direct IO
case.

Each CUSE device has a corresponding directory /sys/class/cuse/DEVNAME
(which is symlink to /sys/devices/virtual/class/DEVNAME if
SYSFS_DEPRECATED is turned off) which hosts "waiting" and "abort"
among other things.  Those two files have the same meaning as the FUSE
control files.

The only notable lacking feature compared to in-kernel implementation
is mmap support.

Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return

This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to

driver, which might be important in some special cases).

This is required for a subsequent fix.  And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

54566b2c15 fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened.  They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim.  This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.

The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called.  It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock.  The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.

Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS.  Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function.  Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).

This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg.  ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).
