4be98c0ca3 [SCSI] fc transport: restore missing dev_loss_tmo callback to LLDD
When we reworked the transport for the rport lifetimes, in cases where the
rport was reused as a container for tgt id bindings, we inadvertantly
removed the callback to the driver indicating that dev_loss_tmo had fired.

This patch restores that functionality.

58607b30fc [SCSI] aha152x_cs: Fix regression that keeps driver from using shared interrupts
At some point since 2.6.22, the aha152x_cs driver stopped working and
started erring on load with the following messages:

kernel: pcmcia: request for exclusive IRQ could not be fulfilled.
kernel: pcmcia: the driver needs updating to supported shared IRQ lines.

With the following change, the driver works with shared IRQs.

5db524bd46 [SCSI] sd: Correctly handle 6-byte commands with DIX
DIF does not work with 6-byte commands so we previously ignored those
commands when preparing a request.  However, DIX does not need
RDPROTECT/WRPROTECT to be set and 6-byte commands are consequently
perfectly valid in host-only mode.

This patch fixes a problem where we would set the wrong DIX operation
when issuing commands to a legacy disk.

patch

Date:   Mon Nov 3 15:56:47 2008 -0500

    [SCSI] simplify scsi_io_completion()

broke DIX error handling.  Also, we are now using EILSEQ to indicate
integrity errors to the upper layers (as opposed to regular EIO
failures).  This allows filesystems to inspect buffers and decide
whether to retry the I/O.  Update scsi_io_completion() accordingly.

4f5299ac4e [SCSI] scsi_lib: don't decrement busy counters when inserting commands
A bug was introduced by

commit b60af5b0ad
Author: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
Date:   Mon Nov 3 15:56:47 2008 -0500

    [SCSI] simplify scsi_io_completion()
 
because the simplification uses scsi_queue_insert().  The problem with
this function is that it expects to be called from the completion path
while the command is still outstanding, so it decrements the device
and host busy counts to do the requeue.  The problem is that
scsi_io_completion() is a path executed well after these counts have
*already* been decremented, leading to a double decrement if the
command goes down any error path leading to ACTION_DELAYED_RETRY.

The fix is to allow a private function __scsi_queue_insert() with a
flag to say whether the busy counters should be decremented.  This is
made static to scsi_lib.c to discourage other use.

nfsd: iget_locked() creates inode
nfsd: try to read from disk, block on that.
ext2_new_inode(): allocate inode with that inumber
ext2_new_inode(): insert it into icache, set it up and dirty
ext2_write_inode(): get the relevant part of inode table in cache,
set the entry for our inode (and start writing to disk)
nfsd: get CPU again, look into inode table, see nice and sane on-disk
inode, set the in-core inode from it

Hash new inode, making sure that there's no such inode in icache

happen if we have nfsd trying to resolve a bogus fhandle), fail.
Otherwise insert our inode into hash and succeed.

- iget5_locked in bdget really needs blockdev_superblock, instead of
  bd_mnt, so bd_mnt could be just a local variable;

- blockdev_superblock really needs __read_mostly, while local var bd_mnt
  not;

- make use of sb_is_blkdev_sb in bd_forget, instead of direct reference
  to blockdev_superblock.

6badd79bd0 kill ->dir_notify()
Remove the hopelessly misguided ->dir_notify().  The only instance (cifs)
has been broken by design from the very beginning; the objects it creates
are never destroyed, keep references to struct file they can outlive, nothing
that could possibly evict them exists on close(2) path *and* no locking
whatsoever is done to prevent races with close(), should the previous, er,
deficiencies someday be dealt with.

b6b3fdead2 filp_cachep can be static in fs/file_table.c
Instead of creating the "filp" kmem_cache in vfs_caches_init(),
we can do it a litle be later in files_init(), so that filp_cachep
is static to fs/file_table.c

fd659fd627 fix f_count description in Documentation/filesystems/files.txt
Documentation/filesystems/files.txt was not updated when
f_count became an atomic_long_t.
atomic_long_inc_not_zero() is now used instead of atomic_inc_not_zero()

1239f26c05 make INIT_FS use the __RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED initialization
[AV: rediffed on top of unification of init_fs]
Initialization of init_fs still uses the deprecated RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED macro.
This patch updates it to use the __RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED(lock) macro.

cb23beb551 kill vfs_permission
With all the nameidata removal there's no point anymore for this helper.
Of the three callers left two will go away with the next lookup series
anyway.

Also add proper kerneldoc to inode_permission as this is the main
permission check routine now.
