For regular files in sysfs, sysfs_readdir wants to traverse
sysfs_dirent->s_dentry->d_inode->i_ino to get to the inode number.
But, the dentry can be reclaimed under memory pressure, and there is
no synchronization with readdir. This patch follows Tejun's scheme of
allocating and storing an inode number in the new s_ino member of a
sysfs_dirent, when dirents are created, and retrieving it from there
for readdir, so that the pointer chain doesn't have to be traversed.
Tejun's upstream patch uses a new-ish "ida" allocator which brings
along some extra complexity; this -stable patch has a brain-dead
incrementing counter which does not guarantee uniqueness, but because
sysfs doesn't hash inodes as iunique expects, uniqueness wasn't
guaranteed today anyway.

[CIFS] CIFS should honour umask
[CIFS] Missing flag on negprot needed for some servers to force packet signing

[CIFS] whitespace cleanup
[CIFS] fix mempool destroy done in wrong order in cifs error path
[CIFS] typo in previous patch
[CIFS] Fix oops on failed cifs mount (in kthread_stop)
This patch makes CIFS honour a process' umask like other filesystems.
Of course the server is still free to munge the permissions if it wants
to; but the client will send the "right" permissions to begin with.
A few caveats:
1) It only applies to filesystems that have CAP_UNIX (aka support unix
extensions)
2) It applies the correct mode to the follow up CIFSSMBUnixSetPerms()
after remote creation
When mode to CIFS/NTFS ACL mapping is complete we can do the
same thing for that case for servers which do not
support the Unix Extensions.

Original patch and description from Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>,
merged and adapted to splice branch by me. Neils text follows:
__generic_file_splice_read() currently samples the i_size at the start
and doesn't do so again unless it needs to call ->readpage to load
a page. After ->readpage it has to re-sample i_size as a truncate
may have caused that page to be filled with zeros, and the read()
call should not see these.
However there are other activities that might cause ->readpage to be
called on a page between the time that __generic_file_splice_read()
samples i_size and when it finds that it has an uptodate page. These
include at least read-ahead and possibly another thread performing a
read
So we must sample i_size *after* it has an uptodate page. Thus the
current sampling at the start and after a read can be replaced with a
sampling before page addition into spd.

__generic_file_splice_read's partial page check, at eof after readpage,
not only got its calculations wrong, but also reused the loff variable:
causing data corruption when splicing from a non-0 offset in the file's
last page (revealed by ext2 -b 1024 testing on a loop of a tmpfs file).

This bug was caught by LTP testcase fchmod06 on Blackfin platform.
In the manpage of fchmod, "EPERM: The effective UID does not match the
owner of the file, and the process is not privileged (Linux: it does not
have the CAP_FOWNER capability)."
But the ramfs nommu code missed the inode_change_ok POSIX UID/GID
verification. This patch fixed this.

The write path code intends to bug if a math error (or unhandled case)
results in a write outside of the current cluster boundaries. The actual
BUG_ON() statements however are incorrect, leading to a crash on kernels
with 64k page size. Fix those by checking against the right variables.
Also, move the assertions higher up within the functions so that they trip
*before* the code starts to mark buffers.

A related signature issue that I came across.
There's a bug in win2k that when NT error codes are not negotiated, the
server doesn't response that signatures are mandatory. Since there's
(currently) no way turn on signatures in such case, I had to force NT
error codes, so that this bug will not occur

We've had several reoprts of the CPU jumping to 0x00000000 is do_ioctl(). I
assume that there's a race and someone is zeroing out the ioctl handler while
this CPU waits for the lock_kernel().
The patch adds code to detect this, then emits stuff which will hopefuly lead
us to the culprit.

update_next_aext() could possibly rewrite values in elen and eloc, possibly
leading to data corruption when rewriting a file. Use temporary variables
instead. Also advance cur_epos as it can also point to an indirect extent
