The nfs_open_context may live longer than the file descriptor that spawned
it, so it needs to carry a reference to the vfsmount. If not, then
generic_shutdown_super() may end up being called before reads and writes
have been flushed out.
Make a couple of functions static while we're at it...

[PATCH] don't do exit_io_context() until we know we won't be doing any IO
Add support for sending and receiving large RMPP transfers. The old
code supports transfers only as large as a single contiguous kernel
memory allocation. This patch uses linked list of memory buffers when
sending and receiving data to avoid needing contiguous pages for
larger transfers.
Receive side: copy the arriving MADs in chunks instead of coalescing
to one large buffer in kernel space.
Send side: split a multipacket MAD buffer to a list of segments,
(multipacket_list) and send these using a gather list of size 2.
Also, save pointer to last sent segment, and retrieve requested
segments by walking list starting at last sent segment. Finally,
save pointer to last-acked segment. When retrying, retrieve
segments for resending relative to this pointer. When updating last
ack, start at this pointer.

The size of struct ib_uverbs_create_qp_resp is not even multiple of 8
bytes. This causes problems for low-level drivers that add private
data after the structure: 32-bit userspace will look in the wrong
place for a response from a 64-bit kernel. Fix this by adding a
reserved field. Also, bump the ABI version because this changes the
size of a structure.

The in-kernel mthca driver contains a table of which attributes are
valid for each queue pair state transition. It turns out that both
other IB drivers -- ipath and ehca -- which are being prepared for
merging have copied this table, errors and all.
To forestall this code duplication, move this table and the code to
check parameters against it into a midlayer library function,
ib_modify_qp_is_ok().

1) huge_pte_offset() did not check the page table hierarchy
elements as being empty correctly, resulting in an OOPS
2) Need platform specific hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() to handle

We only need to write an invalid tag every 16 bytes,
so taking advantage of this can save many instructions
compared to the simple memset() call we make now.
A prefetching implementation is implemented for sun4u
and a block-init store version if implemented for Niagara.
The next trick is to be able to perform an init and
a copy_tsb() in parallel when growing a TSB table.

Put it one page below the top of the 32-bit address space.
This gives us ~16MB more address space to work with.

Currently allocations are very constrained for 32-bit processes.
It grows down-up from 0x70000000 to 0xf0000000 which gives about
2GB of stack + dynamic mmap() space.
So support the top-down method, and we need to override the
generic helper function in order to deal with D-cache coloring.
With these changes I was able to squeeze out a mmap() just over
3.6GB in size in a 32-bit process.

This is good for up to %50 performance improvement of some test cases.
The problem has been the race conditions, and hopefully I've plugged
them all up here.
1) There was a serious race in switch_mm() wrt. lazy TLB
switching to and from kernel threads.
We could erroneously skip a tsb_context_switch() and thus
use a stale TSB across a TSB grow event.
There is a big comment now in that function describing
exactly how it can happen.
2) All code paths that do something with the TSB need to be
guarded with the mm->context.lock spinlock. This makes
page table flushing paths properly synchronize with both
TSB growing and TLB context changes.
3) TSB growing events are moved to the end of successful fault
processing. Previously it was in update_mmu_cache() but
that is deadlock prone. At the end of do_sparc64_fault()
we hold no spinlocks that could deadlock the TSB grow
sequence. We also have dropped the address space semaphore.
While we're here, add prefetching to the copy_tsb() routine
and put it in assembler into the tsb.S file. This piece of
code is quite time critical.
There are some small negative side effects to this code which
can be improved upon. In particular we grab the mm->context.lock
even for the tsb insert done by update_mmu_cache() now and that's
a bit excessive. We can get rid of that locking, and the same
lock taking in flush_tsb_user(), by disabling PSTATE_IE around
the whole operation including the capturing of the tsb pointer
and tsb_nentries value. That would work because anyone growing
the TSB won't free up the old TSB until all cpus respond to the
TSB change cross call.
I'm not quite so confident in that optimization to put it in
right now, but eventually we might be able to and the description
is here for reference.
This code seems very solid now. It passes several parallel GCC
bootstrap builds, and our favorite "nut cruncher" stress test which is
a full "make -j8192" build of a "make allmodconfig" kernel. That puts
about 256 processes on each cpu's run queue, makes lots of process cpu
migrations occur, causes lots of page table and TLB flushing activity,
incurs many context version number changes, and it swaps the machine
real far out to disk even though there is 16GB of ram on this test
system. :-)
