NeilBrown 29fc7e3e70 [PATCH] md: Assorted little md fixes
- version-1 superblock
  + The default_bitmap_offset is in sectors, not bytes.
  + the 'size' field in the superblock is in sectors, not KB
- raid0_run should return a negative number on error, not '1'
- raid10_read_balance should not return a valid 'disk' number if
     ->rdev turned out to be NULL
- kmem_cache_destroy doesn't like being passed a NULL.

NeilBrown 284ae7cab0 [PATCH] md: Handle overflow of mdu_array_info_t->size better
mdu_array_info_t->size is 'int', which isn't big enough for the size (in KB of
each component in) some arrays.

So rather than a random overflow, set size to -1 when it cannot be set
correctly.

To update aspect on an array, userspace will sometimes:
  get_array_info
  change one field
  set_array_info

in this case, we don't want the '-1' in 'size' to change to size, or look like
a size change at all.  So test for that in update_array_info.

Linas Vepstas ab11f89929 [PATCH] Clean up Documentation/driver-model/overview.txt
Edits to the driver-model documentation for grammar, clarity and content.

These docs haven't been updated in years, and some of the technical content
and discussion has become stale; this patch updates these.  In addition,
some of the language is awkward.  Fix this.

(I'm trying to cleanup the other files in this directory also,
patches for these will come a bit later).

NeilBrown 6d89332b77 [PATCH] md: Fix device-size updates in md
As 'array_size' is a 'sector_t', it may overflow inappropriately when shifted
10 bits.  So We should cast it to a loff_t first.

There are two places with this problem, but the second (in update_raid_disks)
isn't needed so just remove it:
  The only personality that handles ->reshape currently is raid1,
  and it doesn't change the size of the array.
  When added for raid5/6, reshape again won't change the size of the array,
  at least not straight away.
  This code might be need for reshaping 'linear' but linear->shape,
  if implemented, should probably do the i_size_write itself.

Most of the 64 bit architectures will zero extend the first argument to
compat_sys_{openat,newfstatat,futimesat} which will fail if the 32 bit
syscall was passed AT_FDCWD (which is a small negative number).  Declare
the first argument to be an unsigned int which will force the correct
sign extension when the internal functions are called in each case.

Also, do some small white space cleanups in fs/compat.c.

 are already holding the inode->i_mutex, it will trigger a lock recursion.

Chris Mason d62b1b87a7 [PATCH] resierfs: fix reiserfs_invalidatepage race against data=ordered
After a transaction has closed but before it has finished commit, there is
a window where data=ordered mode requires invalidatepage to pin pages
instead of freeing them.  This patch fixes a race between the
invalidatepage checks and data=ordered writeback, and it also adds a check
to the reiserfs write_ordered_buffers routines to write any anonymous
buffers that were dirtied after its first writeback loop.

That bug works like this:

proc1: transaction closes and a new one starts
proc1: write_ordered_buffers starts processing data=ordered list
proc1: buffer A is cleaned and written
proc2: buffer A is dirtied by another process
proc2: File is truncated to zero, page A goes through invalidatepage
proc2: reiserfs_invalidatepage sees dirty buffer A with reiserfs
       journal head, pins it
proc1: write_ordered_buffers frees the journal head on buffer A

At this point, buffer A stays dirty forever
