We do not want to dirty the dentry->d_flags cacheline in dput() just to
set the DCACHE_REFERENCED flag when it is already set in the common case
anyway. This way the first cacheline of the dentry (which contains the
RCU lookup information etc) can stay shared among multiple CPU's.
This finishes off some of the details of all the scalability patches
merged during the merge window.
Also don't mark dentry_kill() for inlining, since it's the uncommon path
and inlining it just makes the common path slower due to extra function
entry/exit overhead.

This reverts commit 9745cdb36d (select: use freezable blocking call)
that triggers problems during resume from suspend to RAM on Paul Bolle's
32-bit x86 machines. Paul says:
Ever since I tried running (release candidates of) v3.11 on the two
working i686s I still have lying around I ran into issues on resuming
from suspend. Reverting 9745cdb36d (select: use freezable blocking
call) resolves those issues.
Resuming from suspend on i686 on (release candidates of) v3.11 and
later triggers issues like:
traps: systemd[1] general protection ip:b738e490 sp:bf882fc0 error:0 in libc-2.16.so[b731c000+1b0000]
and
traps: rtkit-daemon[552] general protection ip:804d6e5 sp:b6cb32f0 error:0 in rtkit-daemon[8048000+d000]
Once I hit the systemd error I can only get out of the mess that the
system is at that point by power cycling it.
Since we are reverting another freezer-related change causing similar
problems to happen, this one should be reverted as well.

This reverts commit 1c441e9212 (epoll: use freezable blocking call)
which is reported to cause user space memory corruption to happen
after suspend to RAM.
Since it appears to be extremely difficult to root cause this
problem, it is best to revert the offending commit and try to address
the original issue in a better way later.

This issue was first pointed out by Jiaxing Wang several months ago, but no
further comments:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/29/41
As we know pread() does not change f_pos, so after pread(), file->f_pos
and m->read_pos become different. And seq_lseek() does not update file->f_pos
if offset equals to m->read_pos, so after pread() and seq_lseek()(lseek to
m->read_pos), then a subsequent read may read from a wrong position, the
following program produces the problem:
char str1[32] = { 0 };
char str2[32] = { 0 };
int poffset = 10;
int count = 20;
/*open any seq file*/
int fd = open("/proc/modules", O_RDONLY);
pread(fd, str1, count, poffset);
printf("pread:%s\n", str1);
/*seek to where m->read_pos is*/
lseek(fd, poffset+count, SEEK_SET);
/*supposed to read from poffset+count, but this read from position 0*/
read(fd, str2, count);
printf("read:%s\n", str2);
out put:
pread:
ck_netbios_ns 12665
read:
nf_conntrack_netbios
/proc/modules:
nf_conntrack_netbios_ns 12665 0 - Live 0xffffffffa038b000
nf_conntrack_broadcast 12589 1 nf_conntrack_netbios_ns, Live 0xffffffffa0386000
So we always update file->f_pos to offset in seq_lseek() to fix this issue.

jfs: fix error path in ialloc
Background: nfsd v[23] had throughput regression since delayed fput
went in; every read or write ends up doing fput() and we get a pair
of extra context switches out of that (plus quite a bit of work
in queue_work itselfi, apparently). Use of schedule_delayed_work()
gives it a chance to accumulate a bit before we do __fput() on all
of them. I'm not too happy about that solution, but... on at least
one real-world setup it reverts about 10% throughput loss we got from
switch to delayed fput.

Commit c4fe244857 ("sparc: fix PCI device proc file mmap(2)") added
proc_reg_get_unmapped_area in proc_reg_file_ops and
proc_reg_file_ops_no_compat, by which now mmap always returns EIO if
get_unmapped_area method is not defined for the target procfs file,
which causes regression of mmap on /proc/vmcore.
To address this issue, like get_unmapped_area(), call default
current->mm->get_unmapped_area on MMU-present architectures if
pde->proc_fops->get_unmapped_area, i.e. the one in actual file
operation in the procfs file, is not defined.

Currently, proc_reg_get_unmapped_area truncates upper 32-bit of the
mapped virtual address returned from get_unmapped_area method in
pde->proc_fops due to the variable rv of signed integer on x86_64. This
is too small to have vitual address of unsigned long on x86_64 since on
x86_64, signed integer is of 4 bytes while unsigned long is of 8 bytes.
To fix this issue, use unsigned long instead.

proc file mmap(2)").

Buffer allocation has a very crude indefinite loop around waking the
flusher threads and performing global NOFS direct reclaim because it can
not handle allocation failures.
The most immediate problem with this is that the allocation may fail due
to a memory cgroup limit, where flushers + direct reclaim might not make
any progress towards resolving the situation at all. Because unlike the
global case, a memory cgroup may not have any cache at all, only
anonymous pages but no swap. This situation will lead to a reclaim
livelock with insane IO from waking the flushers and thrashing unrelated
filesystem cache in a tight loop.
Use __GFP_NOFAIL allocations for buffers for now. This makes sure that
any looping happens in the page allocator, which knows how to
orchestrate kswapd, direct reclaim, and the flushers sensibly. It also
allows memory cgroups to detect allocations that can't handle failure
and will allow them to ultimately bypass the limit if reclaim can not
make progress.

Functions that walk the ntstatus_to_dos_map[] array could
run off the end. For example, ntstatus_to_dos() loops
while ntstatus_to_dos_map[].ntstatus is not 0. Granted,
this is mostly theoretical, but could be used as a DOS attack
if the error code in the SMB header is bogus.

Olga reported that file descriptors opened with O_PATH do not work with
fstatfs(), found during further development of ksh93's thread support.
There is no reason to not allow O_PATH file descriptors here (fstatfs is
very much a path operation), so use "fdget_raw()". See commit
55815f7014 ("vfs: make O_PATH file descriptors usable for 'fstat()'")
for a very similar issue reported for fstat() by the same team.
