826e08b015 sched: fix warning in fs/proc/base.c
Stephen Rothwell reported this new (harmless) build warning on platforms that
define u64 to long:

 fs/proc/base.c: In function 'proc_pid_schedstat':
 fs/proc/base.c:352: warning: format '%llu' expects type 'long long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'u64'

asm-generic/int-l64.h platforms strike again: that file should be eliminated.

Fix it by casting the parameters to long long.

f1d9e4586e fs/9p: change simple_strtol to simple_strtoul
Since v9ses->uid is unsigned, it would seem better to use simple_strtoul that
simple_strtol.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as
follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>

9c2c48020e schedstat: consolidate per-task cpu runtime stats
Impact: simplify code

When we turn on CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS, per-task cpu runtime is accumulated
twice. Once in task->se.sum_exec_runtime and once in sched_info.cpu_time.
These two stats are exactly the same.

Given that task->se.sum_exec_runtime is always accumulated by the core
scheduler, sched_info can reuse that data instead of duplicate the accounting.

cad321ad52 Btrfs: shift all end_io work to thread pools
bio_end_io for reads without checksumming on and btree writes were
happening without using async thread pools.  This means the extent_io.c
code had to use spin_lock_irq and friends on the rb tree locks for
extent state.

There were some irq safe vs unsafe lock inversions between the delallock
lock and the extent state locks.  This patch gets rid of them by moving
all end_io code into the thread pools.

To avoid contention and deadlocks between the data end_io processing and the
metadata end_io processing yet another thread pool is added to finish
off metadata writes.

dcbdd4dcb9 Btrfs: delete checksum items before marking blocks free
Btrfs maintains a cache of blocks available for allocation in ram.  The
code that frees extents was marking the extents free and then deleting
the checksum items.

This meant it was possible the extent would be reallocated before the
checksum item was actually deleted, leading to races and other
problems as the checksums were updated for the newly allocated extent.

The fix is to delete the checksum before marking the extent free.

17d217fe97 Btrfs: fix nodatasum handling in balancing code
Checksums on data can be disabled by mount option, so it's
possible some data extents don't have checksums or have
invalid checksums. This causes trouble for data relocation.
This patch contains following things to make data relocation
work.

1) make nodatasum/nodatacow mount option only affects new
files. Checksums and COW on data are only controlled by the
inode flags.

2) check the existence of checksum in the nodatacow checker.
If checksums exist, force COW the data extent. This ensure that
checksum for a given block is either valid or does not exist.

3) update data relocation code to properly handle the case
of checksum missing.

9c24624727 KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN fixes
Miles Lane tailing /sys files hit a BUG which Pekka Enberg has tracked
to my 966c8c12dc sprint_symbol(): use
less stack exposing a bug in slub's list_locations() -
kallsyms_lookup() writes a 0 to namebuf[KSYM_NAME_LEN-1], but that was
beyond the end of page provided.

The 100 slop which list_locations() allows at end of page looks roughly
enough for all the other stuff it might print after the symbol before
it checks again: break out KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN earlier than before.

Latencytop and ftrace and are using KSYM_NAME_LEN buffers where they
need KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffers, and vmallocinfo a 2*KSYM_NAME_LEN buffer
where it wants a KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffer: fix those before anyone copies
them.

6ee5a399d6 inotify: fix IN_ONESHOT unmount event watcher
On umount two event will be dispatched to watcher:

1: inotify_dev_queue_event(.., IN_UNMOUNT,..)
2: remove_watch(watch, dev)
    ->inotify_dev_queue_event(.., IN_IGNORED, ..)

But if watcher has IN_ONESHOT bit set then the watcher will be released
inside first event.  Which result in accessing invalid object later.  IMHO
it is not pure regression.  This bug wasn't triggered while initial
inotify interface testing phase because of another bug in IN_ONESHOT

71c5576fbd revert "percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set()"
Revert

    commit 1f7c14c62c

        percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set()

Before this patch we had the following:

percpu_counter_sum(): return the percpu_counter's value

percpu_counter_sum_and_set(): return the percpu_counter's value, copying
that value into the central value and zeroing the per-cpu counters before
returning.

After this patch, percpu_counter_sum_and_set() has gone, and
percpu_counter_sum() gets the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
functionality.

Problem is, as Eric points out, the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
functionality was racy and wrong.  It zeroes out counters on "other" cpus,
without holding any locks which will prevent races agaist updates from
those other CPUS.

This patch reverts 1f7c14c62c.  This means
that percpu_counter_sum_and_set() still has the race, but
percpu_counter_sum() does not.

Note that this is not a simple revert - ext4 has since started using
percpu_counter_sum() for its dirty_blocks counter as well.

Note that this revert patch changes percpu_counter_sum() semantics.

Before the patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will bring the counter's
central counter mostly up-to-date, so a following percpu_counter_read()
will return a close value.

After this patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will leave the counter's
central accumulator unaltered, so a subsequent call to
percpu_counter_read() can now return a significantly inaccurate result.

If there is any code in the tree which was introduced after
e8ced39d5e was merged, and which depends
upon the new percpu_counter_sum() semantics, that code will break.

459931eca5 Btrfs: Delete csum items when freeing extents
This finishes off the new checksumming code by removing csum items
for extents that are no longer in use.

The trick is doing it without racing because a single csum item may
hold csums for more than one extent.  Extra checks are added to
btrfs_csum_file_blocks to make sure that we are using the correct
csum item after dropping locks.

A new btrfs_split_item is added to split a single csum item so it
can be split without dropping the leaf lock.  This is used to
remove csum bytes from the middle of an item.

69423d99fc [MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device size
MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent
device size.  This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves
the external API unchanged.  Extending the external API
is a separate issue for several reasons.  First, no one
needs it at the moment.  Secondly, whether the implementation
is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated.  Thirdly
external API changes require the internal API to be accepted
first.

Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit
device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required
to do so, although NAND base has been updated.

In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little
or no changes to the majority of the code with the following
exceptions:
    	- printk message formats
    	- division and modulus of 64-bit values
    	- NAND base support
	- 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat
	- naughtily assuming one structure maps to another
	in MEMERASE ioctl
