Currently the qconf program invoked by 'make xconfig' stores GUI
settings in the file ~/.config/Unknown\ Organization.conf. This name
is apparently generated by the QSettings class when no organisation
or application name are specified.
This is obviously not a sensible filename (nor does it seem sensible
that these QSettings parameters are optional!). Pass the names
'kernel.org' and 'qconf', resuling in the filename
~/.config/kernel.org/qconf.conf.

The struct gstr has a capacity that may differ from the actual string length.
However, a string manipulation in the function search_conf made the assumption
that it is the same, which led to messing up some search results, especially
when the content of the gstr in use had not yet reached at least 63 chars.

The definition ws [ \n\t] is not used anywhere. Drop it to avoid confusion.
As it is a dead definition, any changes in the resulting code generated by
flex would be surprising (actually testing this showed that there are really
no changes). So, there is no need to touch the existing zconf.lex.c_shipped.

Each symbol must have exactly one type assigned. However, if a symbol happens
to have two different types assigned at runtime, a warning is printed and the
first type is preserved while the second type is being ignored.
The warning message says
type of <symbol name> redefined from <first type> to <second type>
which may be misleading as it may create the impression that the second type
replaces the first type.
This patch clarifies this by changing the warning to
ignoring type redefinition of <symbol name> from <first type> to <second type>

This fixes lots of typos in comments and strings.
It also updates the documentation strings in mconf to reflect the changes in
the user interface from the two commits
6364fd0cb1
menuconfig: Add Save/Load buttons
1bdbac478a
menuconfig: Get rid of the top-level entries for "Load an Alternate/Save an Alternate"
And it updates the layout of the example search result, i. e. moves down the
"Defined at" and "Depends on" lines and adds a symbol state ([=n]) to the
symbol in the "Selected by" line.
Furthermore, the help texts now should fit in 80 columns again when viewed
in mconf.

Matt found that commit 27a7c64217 ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr
size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot. The
reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of
the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA. While most disk
partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics,
Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit
limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1].
Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk
or 0xFFFFFFFF. No tool in its right mind would set it to any value
other than these.

writeback: Do not sort b_io list only because of block device inode
The LRU list changes interacted badly with our nr_dentry_unused
accounting, and even worse with the new DCACHE_LRU_LIST bit logic.
This introduces helper functions to make sure everything follows the
proper dcache d_lru list rules: the dentry cache is complicated by the
fact that some of the hotpaths don't even want to look at the LRU list
at all, and the fact that we use the same list entry in the dentry for
both the LRU list and for our temporary shrinking lists when removing
things from the LRU.
The helper functions temporarily have some extra sanity checking for the
flag bits that have to match the current LRU state of the dentry. We'll
remove that before the final 3.12 release, but considering how easy it
is to get wrong, this first cleanup version has some very particular
sanity checking.

When reading a single page with cifs_readpage(), we make a call to
fscache_read_or_alloc_page() which once done, asynchronously calls
the completion function cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete(). This
completion function unlocks the page once it has been populated from
cache. The module then attempts to unlock the page a second time in
cifs_readpage() which leads to warning messages.
In case of a successful call to fscache_read_or_alloc_page() we should skip
the second unlock_page() since this will be called by the
cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete() once the page has been populated by
fscache.
With the modifications to cifs_readpage_worker(), we will need to re-grab the
page lock in cifs_write_begin().
The problem was first noticed when testing new fscache patches for cifs.
