The RCU_BOOST commits for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU introduced an other-task
write to a new RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BOOSTED bit in the task_struct structure's
->rcu_read_unlock_special field, but, as noted by Steven Rostedt, without
correctly synchronizing all accesses to ->rcu_read_unlock_special.
This could result in bits in ->rcu_read_unlock_special being spuriously
set and cleared due to conflicting accesses, which in turn could result
in deadlocks between the rcu_node structure's ->lock and the scheduler's
rq and pi locks. These deadlocks would result from RCU incorrectly
believing that the just-ended RCU read-side critical section had been
preempted and/or boosted. If that RCU read-side critical section was
executed with either rq or pi locks held, RCU's ensuing (incorrect)
calls to the scheduler would cause the scheduler to attempt to once
again acquire the rq and pi locks, resulting in deadlock. More complex
deadlock cycles are also possible, involving multiple rq and pi locks
as well as locks from multiple rcu_node structures.
This commit fixes synchronization by creating ->rcu_boosted field in
task_struct that is accessed and modified only when holding the ->lock
in the rcu_node structure on which the task is queued (on that rcu_node
structure's ->blkd_tasks list). This results in tasks accessing only
their own current->rcu_read_unlock_special fields, making unsynchronized
access once again legal, and keeping the rcu_read_unlock() fastpath free
of atomic instructions and memory barriers.
The reason that the rcu_read_unlock() fastpath does not need to access
the new current->rcu_boosted field is that this new field cannot
be non-zero unless the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit is set in the
current->rcu_read_unlock_special field. Therefore, rcu_read_unlock()
need only test current->rcu_read_unlock_special: if that is zero, then
current->rcu_boosted must also be zero.
This bug does not affect TINY_PREEMPT_RCU because this implementation
of RCU accesses current->rcu_read_unlock_special with irqs disabled,
thus preventing races on the !SMP systems that TINY_PREEMPT_RCU runs on.

Add an FS-Cache helper to bulk uncache pages on an inode. This will
only work for the circumstance where the pages in the cache correspond
1:1 with the pages attached to an inode's page cache.
This is required for CIFS and NFS: When disabling inode cookie, we were
returning the cookie and setting cifsi->fscache to NULL but failed to
invalidate any previously mapped pages. This resulted in "Bad page
state" errors and manifested in other kind of errors when running
fsstress. Fix it by uncaching mapped pages when we disable the inode
cookie.
This patch should fix the following oops and "Bad page state" errors
seen during fsstress testing.

IPV6, unlike IPV4, doesn't have a routing cache.
Routing table entries, as well as clones made in response
to route lookup requests, all live in the same table. And
all of these things are together collected in the destination
cache table for ipv6.
This means that routing table entries count against the garbage
collection limits, even though such entries cannot ever be reclaimed
and are added explicitly by the administrator (rather than being
created in response to lookups).
Therefore it makes no sense to count ipv6 routing table entries
against the GC limits.
Add a DST_NOCOUNT destination cache entry flag, and skip the counting
if it is set. Use this flag bit in ipv6 when adding routing table
entries.

One of ioctl definition in sound/sb16_csp.h contains the data size
over 8kB, and this causes build errors on architectures like MIPS,
which define _IOC_SIZEBITS=13.
For avoiding this build errors but keeping the compatibility, manually
expand with _IOC() instead of using _IOW() for the problematic ioctl.

Although it is used (by i915) on nothing but tmpfs, read_cache_page_gfp()
is unsuited to tmpfs, because it inserts a page into pagecache before
calling the filesystem's ->readpage: tmpfs may have pages in swapcache
which only it knows how to locate and switch to filecache.
At present tmpfs provides a ->readpage method, and copes with this by
copying pages; but soon we can simplify it by removing its ->readpage.
Provide shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() now, ready for that transition,
Export shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() and add it to list in shmem_fs.h,
with shmem_read_mapping_page() inline for the common mapping_gfp case.
(shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp or shmem_read_cache_page_gfp? Generally the
read_mapping_page functions use the mapping's ->readpage, and the
read_cache_page functions use the supplied filler, so I think
read_cache_page_gfp was slightly misnamed.)

2.6.35's new truncate convention gave tmpfs the opportunity to control
its file truncation, no longer enforced from outside by vmtruncate().
We shall want to build upon that, to handle pagecache and swap together.
Slightly redefine the ->truncate_range interface: let it now be called
between the unmap_mapping_range()s, with the filesystem responsible for
doing the truncate_inode_pages_range() from it - just as the filesystem
is nowadays responsible for doing that from its ->setattr.
Let's rename shmem_notify_change() to shmem_setattr(). Instead of
calling the generic truncate_setsize(), bring that code in so we can
call shmem_truncate_range() - which will later be updated to perform its
own variant of truncate_inode_pages_range().
Remove the punch_hole unmap_mapping_range() from shmem_truncate_range():
now that the COW's unmap_mapping_range() comes after ->truncate_range,
there is no need to call it a third time.
Export shmem_truncate_range() and add it to the list in shmem_fs.h, so
that i915_gem_object_truncate() can call it explicitly in future; get
this patch in first, then update drm/i915 once this is available (until
then, i915 will just be doing the truncate_inode_pages() twice).
Though introduced five years ago, no other filesystem is implementing
->truncate_range, and its only other user is madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE): we
expect to convert it to fallocate(,FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE,,) shortly,
whereupon ->truncate_range can be removed from inode_operations -
shmem_truncate_range() will help i915 across that transition too.
