With extended devt, finding out the partition number becomes a bit
more challenging as subtracting the minor number from that of the
parent device doesn't work anymore. The only thing left is parsing
the partition name which is brittle and not exactly universal (some
have '-' between the device name and partition number while others
don't). This patch introduced partition attribute which contains the
partition number of the device. This should make finding partitions
and its index easier.
This problem and solution were suggested by H. Peter Anvin.

We currently follow blindly what the partition table lies about the
disk, and let the kernel create block devices which can not be accessed.
Trying to identify the device leads to kernel logs full of:
sdb: rw=0, want=73392, limit=28800
attempt to access beyond end of device
Here is an example of a broken partition table, where sda2 starts
behind the end of the disk, and sdb3 is larger than the entire disk:
Disk /dev/sdb: 14 MB, 14745600 bytes
1 heads, 29 sectors/track, 993 cylinders, total 28800 sectors
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 29 7800 3886 83 Linux
/dev/sdb2 37801 45601 3900+ 83 Linux
/dev/sdb3 15602 73402 28900+ 83 Linux
/dev/sdb4 23403 28796 2697 83 Linux
The kernel creates these completely invalid devices, which can not be
accessed, or may lead to other unpredictable failures:
grep . /sys/class/block/sdb*/{start,size}
/sys/class/block/sdb/size:28800
/sys/class/block/sdb1/start:29
/sys/class/block/sdb1/size:7772
/sys/class/block/sdb2/start:37801
/sys/class/block/sdb2/size:7801
/sys/class/block/sdb3/start:15602
/sys/class/block/sdb3/size:57801
/sys/class/block/sdb4/start:23403
/sys/class/block/sdb4/size:5394
With this patch, we ignore partitions which start behind the end of the disk,
and limit partitions to the end of the disk if they pretend to be larger:
grep . /sys/class/block/sdb*/{start,size}
/sys/class/block/sdb/size:28800
/sys/class/block/sdb1/start:29
/sys/class/block/sdb1/size:7772

/sys/class/block/sdb3/size:13198
/sys/class/block/sdb4/start:23403
/sys/class/block/sdb4/size:5394
These warnings are printed to the kernel log:
sdb: p2 ignored, start 37801 is behind the end of the disk
sdb: p3 size 57801 limited to end of disk

negating the entire purpose.

A very large directory with many read failures (either due to storage
problems, or due to invalid size & blocks from corruption) will generate a
printk storm as the filesystem continues to try to read all the blocks.
This flood of messages can tie up the box until it is complete - which may
be a very long time, especially for very large corrupted values.
This is fixed by only reporting the corruption once each time we try to
read the directory.

We could run into ENOSPC error on ext2, even when there is free blocks on
the filesystem.
The problem is triggered in the case the goal block group has 0 free
blocks , and the rest block groups are skipped due to the check of
"free_blocks < windowsz/2". Current code could fall back to non
reservation allocation to prevent early ENOSPC after examing all the block
groups with reservation on , but this code was bypassed if the reservation
window is turned off already, which is true in this case.
This patch fixed two issues:
1) We don't need to turn off block reservation if the goal block group has
0 free blocks left and continue search for the rest of block groups.
Current code the intention is to turn off the block reservation if the
goal allocation group has a few (some) free blocks left (not enough for
make the desired reservation window),to try to allocation in the goal
block group, to get better locality. But if the goal blocks have 0 free
blocks, it should leave the block reservation on, and continues search for
the next block groups,rather than turn off block reservation completely.
2) we don't need to check the window size if the block reservation is off.
The problem was originally found and fixed in ext4.

Add a miscellaneous device to the autofs4 module for routing ioctls. This
provides the ability to obtain an ioctl file handle for an autofs mount
point that is possibly covered by another mount.
The actual problem with autofs is that it can't reconnect to existing
mounts. Immediately one things of just adding the ability to remount
autofs file systems would solve it, but alas, that can't work. This is
because autofs direct mounts and the implementation of "on demand mount
and expire" of nested mount trees have the file system mounted on top of
the mount trigger dentry.
To resolve this a miscellaneous device node for routing ioctl commands to
these mount points has been implemented in the autofs4 kernel module and a
library added to autofs. This provides the ability to open a file
descriptor for these over mounted autofs mount points.
Please refer to Documentation/filesystems/autofs4-mount-control.txt for a
discussion of the problem, implementation alternatives considered and a
description of the interface.

Support sysfs_notify from atomic context with new sysfs_notify_dirent
sysfs_notify currently takes sysfs_mutex.
This means that it cannot be called in atomic context.
sysfs_mutex is sometimes held over a malloc (sysfs_rename_dir)
so it can block on low memory.
In md I want to be able to notify on a sysfs attribute from
atomic context, and I don't want to block on low memory because I
could be in the writeout path for freeing memory.
So:
- export the "sysfs_dirent" structure along with sysfs_get, sysfs_put
and sysfs_get_dirent so I can get the sysfs_dirent that I want to
notify on and hold it in an md structure.
- split sysfs_notify_dirent out of sysfs_notify so the sysfs_dirent
can be notified on with no blocking (just a spinlock).
