We create two constants, write them out to the stack, read them straight back
in and sign extend them. What a mess.
It turns out this bad code is a result of us defining atomic_t as a
volatile int.
We removed the volatile attribute from the powerpc atomic_t definition years
ago, but commit ea43546750 (atomic_t: unify all
arch definitions) added it back in.
To dig up an old quote from Linus:
> The fact is, volatile on data structures is a bug. It's a wart in the C

And screw up it does :)

This allows a single set to operate on multiple attributes if desired.

TCP MD5 support uses percpu data for temporary storage. It currently
disables preemption so that same storage cannot be reclaimed by another
thread on same cpu.
We also have to make sure a softirq handler wont try to use also same
context. Various bug reports demonstrated corruptions.
Fix is to disable preemption and BH.

1) i_flags simply doesn't work for mount/unlink race prevention;
we may have many links to file and rm on one of those obviously
shouldn't prevent bind on top of another later on. To fix it
right way we need to mark _dentry_ as unsuitable for mounting
upon; new flag (DCACHE_CANT_MOUNT) is protected by d_flags and
i_mutex on the inode in question. Set it (with dont_mount(dentry))
in unlink/rmdir/etc., check (with cant_mount(dentry)) in places
in namespace.c that used to check for S_DEAD. Setting S_DEAD
is still needed in places where we used to set it (for directories
getting killed), since we rely on it for readdir/rmdir race
prevention.
2) rename()/mount() protection has another bogosity - we unhash
the target before we'd checked that it's not a mountpoint. Fixed.
3) ancient bogosity in pivot_root() - we locked i_mutex on the
right directory, but checked S_DEAD on the different (and wrong)
one. Noticed and fixed.

Currently RPC performance metrics that tabulate elapsed time use
jiffies time values. This is problematic on systems that use slow
jiffies (for instance 100HZ systems built for paravirtualized
environments). It is also a problem for computing precise latency
statistics for advanced network transports, such as InfiniBand,
that can have round-trip latencies significanly faster than a single
clock tick.
For the RPC client, adopt the high resolution time stamp mechanism
already used by the network layer and blktrace: ktime.
We use ktime format time stamps for all internal computations, and
convert to milliseconds for presentation. As a result, we need only
addition operations in the performance critical paths; multiply/divide
is required only for presentation.
We could report RTT metrics in microseconds. In fact the mountstats
format is versioned to accomodate exactly this kind of interface
improvement.
For now, however, we'll stay with millisecond precision for
presentation to maintain backwards compatibility with the handful of
currently deployed user space tools. At a later point, we'll move to
an API such as BDI_STATS where a finer timestamp precision can be
reported.

To report ktime statistics to user space in milliseconds, a new helper
is required.
When considering how to do this conversion, I didn't immediately see
why the extra step of converting ktime to a timeval was needed. To
make that more clear, introduce a couple of large comments.

Compute an RPC request's RTT once, and use that value both for reporting
RPC metrics, and for adjusting the RTT context used by the RPC client's RTT
estimator algorithm.

We should not allow soft tasks to wait for longer than the major timeout
period when waiting for a reconnect to occur.
Remove the field xprt->connect_timeout since it has been obsoleted by
xprt->reestablish_timeout.

NFS Filehandles and struct fattr are really too large to be allocated on
the stack. This patch adds in a couple of helper functions to allocate them
dynamically instead.

All encryption types use a confounder at the beginning of the
wrap token. In all encryption types except arcfour-hmac, the
confounder is the same as the blocksize. arcfour-hmac has a
blocksize of one, but uses an eight byte confounder.
Add an entry to the crypto framework definitions for the
confounder length and change the wrap/unwrap code to use
the confounder length rather than assuming it is always
the blocksize.

For the arcfour-hmac support, the make_seq_num and get_seq_num
functions need access to the kerberos context structure.
This will be used in a later patch.
