rename kfifo_put... into kfifo_in... to prevent miss use of old non in
kernel-tree drivers
ditto for kfifo_get... -> kfifo_out...
Improve the prototypes of kfifo_in and kfifo_out to make the kerneldoc
annotations more readable.
Add mini "howto porting to the new API" in kfifo.h

Move the pointer to the spinlock out of struct kfifo. Most users in
tree do not actually use a spinlock, so the few exceptions now have to
call kfifo_{get,put}_locked, which takes an extra argument to a
spinlock.

This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation.
The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to
many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it.
FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles
the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory
resources.
I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use:
- The API is to simple, important functions are missing
- A fifo can be only allocated dynamically
- There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not
- There is no support for data records inside a fifo
So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up
the API to much. The new API has the following benefits:
- Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver.
- Provide an API for the most use case.
- Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions.
- Linux style habit.
- DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros
- Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo.
- The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an
indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator.
- Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo,
which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary.
- Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if
one is required.
- Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported:
- Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size
field of 1 bytes.
- Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size
field of 2 bytes.
- Fixed size records, which no record size field.
- Preserve memory resource.
- Performance!
- Easy to use!
This patch:
Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object,
reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data
structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init
prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This
patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

Filesystems outside the regular namespace do not have to clear DCACHE_UNHASHED
in order to have a working /proc/$pid/fd/XXX. Nothing in proc prevents the
fd link from being used if its dentry is not in the hash.
Also, it does not get put into the dcache hash if DCACHE_UNHASHED is clear;
that depends on the filesystem calling d_add or d_rehash.
So delete the misleading comments and needless code.

* if we fail in p9_conn_create(), we shouldn't leak references to struct file.
Logics in ->close() doesn't help - ->trans is already gone by the time it's
called.
* sock_create_kern() can fail.
* use of sock_map_fd() is all fscked up; I'd fixed most of that, but the
rest will have to wait for a bit more work in net/socket.c (we still are
violating the basic rule of working with descriptor table: "once the reference
is installed there, don't rely on finding it there again").

commit 654d1f8a01 (packet: less dev_put() calls)
introduced a problem, calling potentially sleeping functions from a
rcu_read_lock() protected section.
Fix this by releasing lock before the sock_wmalloc()/memcpy_fromiovec() calls.
After skb allocation and copy from user space, we redo device
lookup and appropriate tests.
