Artem Bityutskiy e4d9b6cbfc UBIFS: fix LEB list freeing
When freeing the c->idx_lebs list, we have to release the LEBs as well,
because we might be called from mount to read-only mode code. Otherwise
the LEBs stay taken forever, which may cause problems when we re-mount
back ro RW mode.

Artem Bityutskiy 82c1593cad UBIFS: simplify locking
This patch simplifies lock_[23]_inodes functions. We do not have
to care about locking order, because UBIFS does this for @i_mutex
and this is enough. Thanks to Al Viro for suggesting this.

Artem Bityutskiy dedb0d48a9 UBIFS: do not commit twice
VFS calls '->sync_fs()' twice - first time with @wait = 0, second
time with @wait = 1. As a result, we may commit and synchronize
write-buffers twice. Avoid doing this by returning immediatelly if
@wait = 0.

Chris Mason c071fcfdb6 Btrfs: fix ioctl arg size (userland incompatible change!)
The structure used to send device in btrfs ioctl calls was not
properly aligned, and so 32 bit ioctls would not work properly on
64 bit kernels.

We could fix this with compat ioctls, but we're just one byte away
and it doesn't make sense at this stage to carry about the compat ioctls
forever at this stage in the project.

This patch brings the ioctl arg up to an evenly aligned 4k.

Chris Mason 1d9e2ae949 Btrfs: Clear the device->running_pending flag before bailing on congestion
Btrfs maintains a queue of async bio submissions so the checksumming
threads don't have to wait on get_request_wait.  In order to avoid
extra wakeups, this code has a running_pending flag that is used
to tell new submissions they don't need to wake the thread.

When the threads notice congestion on a single device, they
may decide to requeue the job and move on to other devices.  This
makes sure the running_pending flag is cleared before the
job is requeued.

It should help avoid IO stalls by making sure the task is woken up
when new submissions come in.

Heiko Carstens 6673e0c3fb [CVE-2009-0029] System call wrapper special cases
System calls with an unsigned long long argument can't be converted with
the standard wrappers since that would include a cast to long, which in
turn means that we would lose the upper 32 bit on 32 bit architectures.
Also semctl can't use the standard wrapper since it has a 'union'
parameter.

So we handle them as special case and add some extra wrappers instead.

Bernd Schmidt 62568510b8 Fix timeouts in sys_pselect7
Since we (Analog Devices) updated our Blackfin kernel to 2.6.28, we've
seen occasional 5-second hangs from telnet.  telnetd calls select with a
NULL timeout, but with the new kernel, the system call occasionally
returns 0, which causes telnet to call sleep (5).  This did not happen
with earlier kernels.

The code in sys_pselect7 looks a bit strange, in particular the variable
"to" is initialized to NULL, then changed if a non-null timeout was
passed in, but not used further.  It needs to be passed to
core_sys_select instead of &end_time.

This bug was introduced by 8ff3e8e85f
("select: switch select() and poll() over to hrtimers").

Takashi Sato c4be0c1dc4 filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfs
Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which
suspends write requests.  So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the
filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and
replication) while it is mounted.

In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g.  VxFS) has the freeze feature
and it would be used to get the consistent backup.

If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it
without a commercial filesystem.

So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature.
I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps.
1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl.
2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot
   with the storage device's feature.
3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl.
4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume
   or the snapshot.

This patch:

VFS:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they can return an error.
Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation
freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion.

ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed,
and unlockfs always returns 0.

reiserfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.
