Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used. And
the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions. The object
pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.
Convert
ctor(void *object, struct kmem_cache *s, unsigned long flags)
to
ctor(struct kmem_cache *s, void *object)
throughout the kernel

In OLPC trac #4184 we found a case where a corrupted node didn't
actually get obsoleted when we tried to garbage-collect it. So we wrote
out many million copies of it, in repeated attempts to obsolete it,
until the flash became full. Don't Do That.

commit 6fe6900e1e5b6fa9e5c59aa5061f244fe3f467e2

mm: make read_cache_page synchronous
Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.
I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
with a !uptodate page.
It introduced a wait to read_cache_page, as well as a
read_cache_page_async function equivalent to the old read_cache_page
without any callers.
Switching jffs2_gc_fetch_page to read_cache_page_async for the old
behavior makes the deadlocks go away, but maybe reintroduces the
use-before-uptodate problem? I don't understand the mm/fs interaction
well enough to say.
[It's fine. dwmw2.]

Commit a491486a2087ac3dfc00efb4f838c8d684afaf54 introduced a locking

holding it. This leads to all kinds of fun behaviour later.

Commit a7a6ace1406f95c3edb8365788f85984377f3832 revamped the OOB
handling but accidentally switched to 12-byte cleanmarkers, which is
incompatible with what 'flash_eraseall -j' will do. So using
flash_eraseall -j and then trying to mount the 'empty' flash will fail,
because the cleanmarkers aren't recognised.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.
This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

Introduce is_owner_or_cap() macro in fs.h, and convert over relevant
users to it. This is done because we want to avoid bugs in the future
where we check for only effective fsuid of the current task against a
file's owning uid, without simultaneously checking for CAP_FOWNER as
well, thus violating its semantics.
[ XFS uses special macros and structures, and in general looked ...
untouchable, so we leave it alone -- but it has been looked over. ]
The (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid) check in generic_permission() and
exec_permission_lite() is left alone, because those operations are
covered by CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH. Similarly operations
falling under the purview of CAP_CHOWN and CAP_LEASE are also left alone.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

We've seen some evil corruption issues, where the corruption seems to be
introduced after the JFFS2 crc32 is calculated but before the NAND
controller calculates the ECC. So it's in RAM or in the PCI DMA
transfer; not on the flash. Attempt to catch it earlier by (optionally)
reading back from the flash immediately after writing it.

With current desing erase_free_sem is locked every time the flash
block is being erased. For NOR flashes - ~1 second is needed to erase
single flash block. In the worst case scenario erase_free_sem may be
locked for a couple of seconds when the number of blocks is being
erased (e.g. after large file was removed). When erase_free_sem is
locked all read/write operations for given JFFS2 partition are locked
too - in effect from time to time access to the JFFS2 partition is
locked for a number of seconds. This fix makes critical section in
flash erasing procedure shorter - now erase_free_sem is locked around
erase_completion_lock spinlock only.

An xattr_datum which ends up orphaned should be freed by the GC
thread. But if we umount before the GC thread is finished, or if we
mount read-only and the GC thread never runs, they might never be
freed. Clean them up during unmount, if there are any left.

When we cannot mark nodes as obsolete, such as on NAND flash, we end up
having to delete inodes with !nlink in jffs2_build_remove_unlinked_inode().
However, jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem() runs later than this, and will
attach an xref to the dead inode. Then later when the last nodes of that
dead inode are erased we hit a BUG() in jffs2_del_ino_cache()
because we're not supposed to get there with an xattr still attached to
the inode which is being killed.
The simple fix is to refrain from attaching xattrs to inodes with zero
nlink, in jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem(). It's it's OK to trust nlink
here because the file system isn't actually mounted yet, so there's no
chance that a zero-nlink file could actually be alive still because
it's open.
