This reverts commit 786dc1d3d7.
As Al so eloquently points out, the patch is crap. The old code was fine,
the new code was bogus.
It never dereferenced a user pointer, the "->" operator was to an array
member, which gives the _address_ of the member (in user space), not an
actual dereference at all.

A process flag to indicate whether we are doing sync io is incredibly
ugly. It also causes performance problems when one does a lot of async
io and then proceeds to sync it. Part of the io will go out as async,
and the other part as sync. This causes a disconnect between the
previously submitted io and the synced io. For io schedulers such as CFQ,
this will cause us lost merges and suboptimal behaviour in scheduling.
Remove PF_SYNCWRITE completely from the fsync/msync paths, and let
the O_DIRECT path just directly indicate that the writes are sync
by using WRITE_SYNC instead.

Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.
This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.
The patch also makes the following changes:
(*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
very little.
(*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
(*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
dentries being left unculled.
However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
with child trees.
[*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
(*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

Yeah, it's a hack, but it is only temporary until Alan's patches
reworking this area make it in. We really should not care what devices
below us are doing, especially when we do not really know what type of
devices they are. This patch relies on the fact that the endpoint
devices do not have a driver assigned to us.

This moves the usb class devices that control the usbfs nodes to show up
in the proper place in the larger device tree.
No userspace changes is needed, this is compatible due to the symlinks
generated by the driver core.

This will allow for us to give endpoints a major/minor to create a

easier manner than the current usbfs provides us.

adds IXP425 and IXP465 to the list of devices that have cfr. This
is not described in the hardware documentation, but without
it driver won't work.
Workaround (#if 1) that seemed to get rid of lost
status irqs is disabled for IXP4XX as it caused freezes
during testing of control messages. No lost irqs are

When closing the device, the driver acquires/release twice the
port lock before/after waiting for the data to be completely
sent. Therefore it will dead lock.
This patch fixes it and also uses the generic scheduler services
for waiting for an event.
