proc: no need to initialize proc_inode->fd in proc_get_inode()
proc_get_inode() obtains the inode via a call to iget_locked().
iget_locked() calls alloc_inode() which will call proc_alloc_inode() which
clears proc_inode.fd, so there is no need to clear this field in
proc_get_inode().
If iget_locked() instead found the inode via find_inode_fast(), that inode
will not have I_NEW set so this change has no effect.

device_cgroup: convert device_cgroup internally to policy + exceptions
The original model of device_cgroup is having a whitelist where all the
allowed devices are listed. The problem with this approach is that is
impossible to have the case of allowing everything but few devices.
The reason for that lies in the way the whitelist is handled internally:
since there's only a whitelist, the "all devices" entry would have to be
removed and replaced by the entire list of possible devices but the ones
that are being denied. Since dev_t is 32 bits long, representing the allowed
devices as a bitfield is not memory efficient.
This patch replaces the "whitelist" by a "exceptions" list and the default
policy is kept as "deny_all" variable in dev_cgroup structure.
The current interface determines that whenever "a" is written to devices.allow
or devices.deny, the entry masking all devices will be added or removed,
respectively. This behavior is kept and it's what will determine the default
policy:
# cat devices.list
a *:* rwm
# echo a >devices.deny
# cat devices.list
# echo a >devices.allow
# cat devices.list
a *:* rwm
The interface is also preserved. For example, if one wants to block only access
to /dev/null:
# ls -l /dev/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jul 24 16:17 /dev/null
# echo a >devices.allow
# echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.deny
# cat /dev/null
cat: /dev/null: Operation not permitted
# echo >/dev/null
bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted
mknod /tmp/null c 1 3
mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted
# echo "c 1:3 r" >devices.allow
# cat /dev/null
# echo >/dev/null
bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted
mknod /tmp/null c 1 3
mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted
# echo "c 1:3 rw" >devices.allow

Maintain an index of directory inodes by starting cluster, so that

Finally, simplify NFS file handle generation and lookups. An

Under memory pressure, the system may evict dentries from cache. When the
FAT driver receives a NFS request involving an evicted dentry, it is
unable to reconnect it to the filesystem root. This causes the request to
fail, often with ENOENT.
This is partially due to ineffectiveness of the current FAT NFS
implementation, and partially due to an unimplemented fh_to_parent method.
The latter can cause file accesses to fail on shares exported with
subtree_check.
This patch set provides the FAT driver with the ability to
reconnect dentries. NFS file handle generation and lookups are simplified
and made congruent with ext2.
Testing has involved a memory-starved virtual machine running 3.5-rc5 that
exports a ~2 GB vfat filesystem containing a kernel tree (~770 MB, ~40000
files, 9 levels). Both 'cp -r' and 'ls -lR' operations were performed
from a client, some overlapping, some consecutive. Exports with
'subtree_check' and 'no_subtree_check' have been tested.
Note that while this patch set improves FAT's NFS support, it does not
eliminate ESTALE errors completely.
The following should be considered for NFS clients who are sensitive to ESTALE:
* Mounting with lookupcache=none
Unfortunately this can degrade performance severely, particularly for deep
filesystems.
* Incorporating VFS patches to retry ESTALE failures on the client-side,
such as https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/29/381
* Handling ESTALE errors in client application code
This patch:
Move NFS-related code into its own C file. No functional changes.

There are several comparisons of a unsigned int to less than zero int
spear RTC driver. Such a check will always be true. In all these cases a
signed int is assigned to the unsigned variable, which is checked, before.
So the right fix is to make the checked variable signed as well. In one
case the check can be dropped completely, because all it does it returns
'err' if 'err' is less than zero, otherwise it returns 0. Since in this
particular case 'err' is always either 0 or less this is the same as just
returning 'err'.

kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()
As kernel_power_off() calls disable_nonboot_cpus(), we may also want to
have kernel_restart() call disable_nonboot_cpus(). Doing so can help
machines that require boot cpu be the last alive cpu during reboot to
survive with kernel restart.
This fixes one reboot issue seen on imx6q (Cortex-A9 Quad). The machine
requires that the restart routine be run on the primary cpu rather than
secondary ones. Otherwise, the secondary core running the restart routine
will fail to come to online after reboot.

Historically, the top three bytes of personality have been used for things
such as ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, which made sense only for specific
architectures.
We now however have a flag there that is general no matter the
architecture (UNAME26); generally we have to be careful to preserve the
personality flags across exec().
This patch fixes tile architecture not to forcefully overwrite personality
flags during exec().
In addition to that, we fix two other things along the way:
- exec_domain switching is fixed -- set_personality() should always
be used instead of directly assigning to current->personality.
- as pointed out by Arnd Bergmann, PER_LINUX_32BIT is not used anywhere
by tile, so let's just drop that in favor of PER_LINUX

cross-arch: don't corrupt personality flags upon exec()
Historically, the top three bytes of personality have been used for things
such as ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, which made sense only for specific
architectures.
We now however have a flag there that is general no matter the
architecture (UNAME26); generally we have to be careful to preserve the
personality flags across exec().
This patch tries to fix all architectures that forcefully overwrite
personality flags during exec() (ppc32 and s390 have been fixed recently
by commits f9783ec86 and 59e4c3a2f in a similar way already).

mm: compaction: move fatal signal check out of compact_checklock_irqsave
c67fe3752 ("mm: compaction: Abort async compaction if locks are contended
or taking too long") addressed a lock contention problem in compaction by
introducing compact_checklock_irqsave() that effecively aborting async
compaction in the event of compaction.
To preserve existing behaviour it also moved a fatal_signal_pending()
check into compact_checklock_irqsave() but that is very misleading. It
"hides" the check within a locking function but has nothing to do with
locking as such. It just happens to work in a desirable fashion.
This patch moves the fatal_signal_pending() check to
isolate_migratepages_range() where it belongs. Arguably the same check
should also happen when isolating pages for freeing but it's overkill.

memory-hotplug: don't replace lowmem pages with highmem
The changelog for 6a6dccba2 ("mm: cma: don't replace lowmem pages with
highmem") mentioned that lowmem pages can be replaced by highmem pages
during CMA migration. 6a6dccba2 fixed that issue.
Quote from that changelog:
: The filesystem layer expects pages in the block device's mapping to not
: be in highmem (the mapping's gfp mask is set in bdget()), but CMA can
: currently replace lowmem pages with highmem pages, leading to crashes in
: filesystem code such as the one below:
:

Memory-hotplug has same problem as CMA has so the same fix can be applied
to memory-hotplug as well.
Fix it by reusing.
